How to uninstall pre-installed programs? (TMobile HD2) - HD2 General

I want to get rid of some pre-installed programs, like MobiTV, MarketPlace, Evaluation games, TeleNav, BN reader, Blockbuster and Opera 9(I will install Opera 10) etc. But they are not showing up in the application folder(for uninstall). How do I completely uninstall them?
Thanks in advance.

not possible, you can try manually deleting their files, but there will always be a hard copy in the rom, eating away space.
You can solve by installing hspl and flashing a custom, clean rom.

Unable to install / uninstall software on Jasjar !!!

I don't know why i can't install any software on the jasjar. run the cabs but it doesn’t ask if i want it on storage or memory and only gives successful installed, but then nothing no app installed
If i go to the remove programs on control panel it appears empty so I can't remove any app either..
any 1 seen this ?
I’m trying this before a hard reset
I have had the same problem. First, I found it is better not to install the extended rom, i.e., after hard reset you need to do a soft reset before the imate cabs are installed on the jasjar (you will find numerous posts on this issue). Furthermore, I suggest you install most of the apps you want before you fully synchronize all your data. Also, I have installed almost all my apps on the storage card.
This way at least I am able to install any programs I want to.
However, I still find that apps will not uninstall (usually best results for uninstall for me were by uninstalling via activesync instead of the remove programs on the jasjar). I thus suggest that you find the apps you really need and desist from experimentation unless you are ready to hard reset regularly. Lastly, I have resorted to uninstalling programs by using a program to fiddle with the registry (like resco explorer) and removing files related to the program I am trying to delete. (Apparently this can be risky).
Hope this helps, apap

How to uninstall some programs?

As everyone know, leo has very little internal memory and i have a quastion: how to uninstall for example coPilot, MP3 Trimmer etc without changing ROM?

The programs are built into the Rom so you cannot uninstall without Flashing a new Rom. This is the reason why most people flash Roms to cut out the bloat ware.

Cannot Remove Apps

Hi all any help appreciated
I have an HTC HD2, I am currently running the CleanEX rom on WM 6.5 and 2.9 radio.
I have no major problems except
I cannot remove any applications that market place says I have purchased, even if these are free.
I cannot remove them from the app list. I cannot reinstall them, I cannot remove the program from my application list, either from pc or phone. Whatever I do they are still there.
i think this is something to do with Market place as it still lists the apps as purchased and ready to install.
Any ideas how i can remove them. Happy to ignore most but ironically i want one back on and I cannot install it over the current screwed up install.
thanks
In the same boat.
I have one app I want to delete and did but it still shows up in the list even after running uninstall.
I would like to re-install but cant.

I'm sorry to tell you this but you will not be able to remove any of those apps because they are baked as part of the ROM unless you flashed another ROM that the chef's cooked here that is the only way to remove them or if you know how to cook a ROM yourself.
This is what I did to remove the apps:
- Start up the application.
- Hopefully you are running and out-of-date version of the app. When they start up they will check for updated software.
- It will prompt you to download and install the updated software. Install the update.
- After installation is complete, close the app.
- Check the Remove Programs panel, it should now display the app(s) you just installed, allowing you to remove them.
Its a bit of work, but this method allowed me to get rid of most of the useless apps on the HD2.
I think you just have to delete the folder for the app to make it disappear. Haven't tried it myself but if you're never going to use it anyway, what's the harm?
Thanks to all...I will will try to run the program and check for updates...i updated my ROM to 2.13 hasnt made a difference tho...I will keep trying!
i deleted

Did you just delete the links from the "start menu" folder, or did you try removing the program files themselves?
That is the first thing I did when I got my phone... and the first thing I will do after installing the new rom. Plug it into your computer, explore it as you would any other external drive, and delete the entire folders.... there goes the apps you do not want....

It doesn't work with Opera.
I have deleted the B&N eReader, BlockBuster and MobiTV by just deleting the directories they were in. Also went into the Start Menu folder in the Windows folder and deleted their icons there so they don't show up in the Start Menu.
I have been unable to delete the Facebook application because the files are in the Windows directory and are read only.

But this doesn't guarantee you removed unwanted registry entries that can bog down your system.

You can do what Paten suggested and then take the final step of running memmaid, it has the ability to clean out reg entries orphaned by removed programs.

Remove some pre-installed Apps

Hi there guys
- I need to know if there's anyway to delete some apps comes pre-installed.
- I got mine from Saudi-arabia so it has the following list :
Holy Quran
Prayer Times
Qiblah Direction
- I need to get rid of them, or at least remove them from the menu.
- My phone is rooted and I have enabled the 3BM.
Thanks in advance.
install titanium backup and uninstall them from there?
Since your phone is rooted, you can use android SDK and uninstall them using ADB. Or use apps (mostly paid for this task) to uninstall them.
Titanium Backup is free, and it can uninstall any unwanted ROM apps properly
you don't need the paid version to do that
