Hey guys,
Need your expertise; Is there a way to remove MSN weather or MSN Money from my -Mobile Dash3G?
I want to keep the original T-Mobile flash but those 2 apps are just taking space for nothing.
Thank you in advance!
Hook up your phone with ActiveSync and go into file explorer. Open up the windows folder, then start menu. You can delete stuff from start screen there.

Those 2 apps dont show up on "Add or Remove Programs". T-Mobile disable that from uninstalling but I was hoping there's a trick to uninstalling them.

If I do that, won't that corrupt files on the phone since Im really not uninstalling them?
I dont think so because it's like you're deleting shortcuts off that menu. So I don't know how to completely remove those programs. Then again how can you completely remove any program anyway.

I have found the solution to the various posts listed on not being able to get rid of an uninstalled prog in the remove progs window. Using MemMaid 2.3 go jump to/databases/database usage, highlight SwMgmtMetadataStore and click browse, highlight offending entry and delete it. Then do and soft reset and you will find that the prog is no longer in the remove prog window. Hope this helps.

I added an which I immediately hated, so i removed it. Or rather I half removed it. A msg cam up saying it wasn't succesful and did I want to remove the app from the list. I stupidly said yes. :roll: So now I have icons in my Programs screen and other places. Any idea how I get rid of them ? (I've deleted the program files that were left behind).
Ooops, DM.

Try installing it again and then uninstall.
Hi Davebo
to remove the icon in you program screen launch the file explorer and go to the following directory:
Windows>Start Menu>Programs
Look in they and the name of the program shown be they name of program.lnk and just delete it.

Ah, there it is
Thanks for the advice. I did find the lnk's myself (where you said) and deleted them.
Viola it is gone from my machine.
Thanks again. :lol:
Wondered if any one has had this problem.
When i launch the contacts app from the contacts side of the cube
not only does the contacts app open but several of my system folders open
at the same time...
For example... i bring up the cube, press the contacts app and the comm
manager, settings folder, programs folder and activesync all open at the same time. I close out the contacts app and then i have to close out all the other apps as well.
It's getting frustrating... i've done a hard reset to test this out and before i install or do any thing to my device i try to launch it and it happens again...
I thought was because of a tweak but am seeing that this is not the problem..
Any insight to this problem.. fix.. any one else have this ... please
post a thought...
I've tried to look in the registry to see where the app launches but can't find it... i'm frustrated
Thanks...
Craig
No theories....
What ROM are you running? That's not normal behavior.
You might want to try flashing the stock ROM.
That's just it... it is the stock rom...
I've always been afraid to flash a new Rom
that wasn't official...
Got it brand new...
It's frustrating... wondered if any thing in the Registry
would fix this...
Can't seem to find the reg entry for the quicklauncher
contacts only part... all i find in the registry is the 9
configurable choices...
Craig
I'd take it in to a store and show them what's going on. Back up your info first, though. They may be able to help you, or they may order you a new phone.
I installed WeFI.cab (from www.dewantoro.com) and I think that's because I lost my phone signal when I tried to connect to WiFi ...how can I uninstall it? I can't find any entry....

Go to start -> settings -> system -> remove programs
You should see it in the list, choose it and click on remove
WeFi
Just a word of warning here, WeFi is a pain in the @ss to remove, and causes problems. There is a thread worth reading which I have commented on before, and after sufferring problems with my original HTC Elf (Touch) after using WeFi, I WILL NEVER touch this sofware again!!

removing wefi in windows mobile
hello, guys, about 15 minutes ago i figuered out how to remove wefi from your phone without damaging your wifi service. First make sure that your contacts are on your sim card. and your music on your storage card. Go to file explorer/ device management/ and click on clear storage. input 1234 and click yes. the phone will then turn off and on again. when this happens, the phone removes wefi's unability to unremove. if you know what i mean. then go to program files and on the folder wefi, click delete it will keep telling you if you want to remove, and click yes. it will delete!!!!! i just did it if you have any questions email me at [email protected] thank you bye
Whenever I try to install any .cab now, it now gives me a new prompt right after I hit "Yes" to install the .cab. It gives me this prompt:
"Installation of (program).cab was unsuccessful."
It does that for every cab that I'm trying to put into my HD2. (BsB, DocHD2MMSFix, etc) Idk what I can do to fix it, I tried to soft reset it. It doesn't help... I'm really stressed out and annoyed about this thing. Anyone got anything?!
why don't you just hard reset the device. use pim backup to save your contacts/text/calendar/.... it's a breeze to get all your stuff back.
are you clicking to download the cab and choosing 'open' straight from the browser? because i find they always fail if you try to do that. You must save them first, and then open them manually.

Cause I really don't feel like redoing my FB contact stuff all over again. I have a lot of contacts. It'll just be a huge PITA

I always download them onto my PC, then transfer it to my SDcard then open it up from there. Never had any problems with it until now...

I sync to Google and never have to re-add all the FB stuff to my contacts. Each time I flash, I sync again and my contacts are back just as I left them.
I flash a lot and thus need simple solutions such as that. Thank GOD for Android on the HD2, which not only sync's contacts but reinstalls your apps too!
There. Now I've helped someone and plugged my own threads at the same time. Time for a cookie
Try using sdkcerts. It enables you to install unsigned cabs.
You have a problem if your HD2 doesn't even let you install it. In that case, you'd want to do a hard reset (but BACKUP your data first!).

the facebook connections are stored in teh contacts 'notes' field, so are restored when you sync them back after a hard reset.

You know.... if you have installed BsB Tweaks (free in Windows Mobile Marketplace), you can just enable unsigned apps under Polices.

JK. I didn't know there was such a setting in BsB Tweaks.
So basically I had added a favorite to the sense tab and clicked on it while using free WiFi at McDonald's so the page it shows is the page where you accept the terms of service for the free WiFi. I have searched for it, but if I somehow did miss the answer I apologize in advance. I have tried removing the favorite from the tab & removing the favorite all together & then re-adding it and it still shows the wrong preview. I am guessing that there is a directory somewhere that I would be able to just delete the preview data. TIA for any help!!!
Bump I would love to know too.

That's a weird one. Did you try deleting it, then doing a soft reset, then adding it?
Have you looked in the Windows\Temporary Internet Files folder? Or maybe it's the Temp folder? See if the images for the shortcuts are cached in one of those folders. If so, you can just delete them and that should take care of it.
all the thumbnails are located in:
/Windows/Thumbnail
simply find the one you have and replace it with one you want or delete it. (the names are very long and make no sense, but in the end are simply .pngs.)

Ok so I found & deleted the 1 that was giving me problems, but now it won't generate the new preview! I have tried a soft reset with no results. Is there a way to force it to create the new one? Thank again!

scratches head...sorry mate. it worked for me previously. did you save the file somewhere else before deleting it? sorry it isn't working out the way you/i had hoped...
I upgraded to Oprea 10 I think it is beta and I don't have this problem anymore, it seems to update the thumbnails often.
