removing programs nor working - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

When i install a program it's no longer possible to remove it under remove programs. Only thing i can do is remove the program under activesync. Do i miss something in the startup of my Tytn II? A program or shortcut that record installing programs?

Maybe someone can post his startup folder for instance so i can compare what i'am missing?

Could you elaborate? what do you mean "it is no longer possible to remove programs"? Do the progs not show up in your remove prog list on your Kaiser? Or do they show up, but do you get an error when trying to remove them?
Also does this happen to ALL programs or just some?

They don't show up under installed programs and it happens for all programs.

Wow, weird.
Afaik there is no program (launched at startup) that monitors installations. Sorry man, have no clue what is going on.

For the power, try this. Make a shortcut of the exe file in windows\startup folder.

You dont get what I mean, i dont want any tray launch,
this application is called "Schap's Power & Wireless service Manager (shows Bluetooth/Wi-Fi on traybar)" , develop by Schap, just only need power_srv.dll and wirelessMgr_srv.dll and enable some register keys...
besides, this Wireless service Manager = WIFI+BT+Flight mode in a icon..
so now, u know what i mean now??
and sorry for my poor english...
now clear
are you sure, that you need only these two dll files? looks like it has own icon "advanced configuration".. did you try to contact someone from hermes section, to give you these two files + reg. keys?

in fact, I got these 2 dlls from Schap's ROM and copy them (include power.exe) into my TYTN II, then import these 2 reg keys, now there r two icons on my kaiser's traybar, but, but, when I enable WIFI/BT/Flight mode,
only WIFI/Flight mode's icons show instead of wireless icon, so maybe need other dll reg. key i havn't found ...
I have asked Schap several times, even pm him, but still no answer, pity....
so only i can do is ask professional persons here...wow -_-
optiquest,
here is a full package of "advanced configuration". i tried to move it to \windows folder and run application, but there is an error msg. could you try and share your status?

if I change commManager in Advanced config (eg: add 3G or del something etc), next time when I reboot pda, I will get some error there...
Advanced config for me is useless except enable cleartype, so I think KaiserTweak will be better when I want to change somethiing in Registry.

New WM6/Tilt user, please help!

Hello-
I'm new to Windows Mobile (I've been on Palm OS for at least 5 years) and I have AT&T Tilt (8925).
I've been playing around with it for a while, and there's still some things I have questions on-
1)How do I complete remove some programs that I do not want and don't appear under "Remove Programs"? I know they're located in the Windows folder, but I get a Error 5 whenever I try to delete them- I think they're read-only or something...
2) I'm also having problems with the GPS receiver. At times it will work great, acquiring a signal in seconds, and other times it won't work at all, searching for a long time to find nothing. I use Live Search and Google Maps and have the same problem with both.. Any ideas?
3) Coming from Palm OS, I'm used to text messages coming up in a view. Is there a way to change that?
4) I modified my PTT button to work as any program. Is there a specific registry key I can set it to so that it acts as a power button?
5) I use gmail and I'm using their IMAP service. Some of my messages are appearing blank when downloaded. Was I supposed to change settings or something? Why does it only work for some and not others?
6) And last but not least, does anybody have any good mod/util programs to recommend?
Thanks for your help
Also,
7) Does anyone know how to disable the sound on the 3G launch screen when the device reboots?
I havent got too many answers to your questions, but this would be a sart at least.
KaiserTweak has many necessary customizations (but I dont think it addresses most of your questions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
The apps you want to remove sounds like the Cingular built-in ones. In that case you can avoid installing them by doing a hard reset, and rebooting before it installs the carrier customizations.
This article gives a step by step howto.

Also this page was useful in getting my GPS problems sorted out. The GPSTEST software seemed to cure the problem all by itself (and its freeware)

Yeah, I've got KaiserTweak already, I love it.
In terms of the "bloatware", that is indeed what I want to remove, but there's also some that I want to keep... Is there a way to remove programs that arent in "Remove Programs"?
Not AFAIK, but the actual AT&T apps are available as a separate cab in this thread.

Unfortunately they are still bundled together, but at leas they can be cleanly uninstalled.

Even after bypassing the bloatware install, the CAB files should still be on the device for you to install them on your own. Might take a bit of digging to find the proper ones and you may need something like Resco Explorer, or Total Commander to "see" them. I think the built in file explorer hides some of the system files, but I couldn't tell you much more than that.
Thanks. The GPS Fix doesn't seem to do much- am I missing something?

Are you able to run it. You should be able to use it to test the function of your GPS device, and find out what port it uses etc. Its a smartphone program, so you have to use it using the keys, not the touch screen.

It seems to help and it's definately a very useful app. I'll let you know if my problems persist.
Does anyone have any ideas on the other issues I'm having?

Help: How to remove program name from uninstall menu...

Hi Mates,
Would somebody like to guide me that how can i remove or change a program name from a " Remove Program" window instead of removing the actuall program.. In that way i think we can hide a program from other onlookers....
Max621
HTC TYTN II
It seems to me that; I asked a very technical question.....
RegEdit
Have a look at the Reg Keys in [HKLM]\Security\AppInstall\
Change the keys in there to change the display name.
If you are skiddish about the registry, you can use SK Tools to remove the name as well. Another easy alternative is to go to \Windows\AppMgr & delete or move the file for the program you want removed from uninstall. Then go to unistall Programs & click uninstall. The device will say that it can't find the uninstall information (which is kept in \Windows\AppMgr) & will then ask you if you want to remove it from the list. Chose yes & it's gone, but the program .exe & other files will remain. You will need to reinstall later if you ever want to remove it.
Thanks Guys for the help and i think playing with the Registry is a lot more fun

I have tried to uninstall an app, but it says that it is only partially removed. The app does then not show up in \windows\appmgr, and [HKLM]\security\appInstall\. But it always shows up at \Setting\uninstall list and cannot be removed even I tried again and again. Any idea what on hell it is? Thanks.

how to limit recent program list?

is there a way of limiting the number of recent programs that show up?
thanks
I'm guessing you're looking for helpful registry locations to check out, and I can't help there. My only thought was changing the number of programs always displayed on the front page (Start,Settings,Menu, tick/untick the apps you always want displayed).
I realise this isn't an ideal solution, or possibly even useless, but it does sort of meet your requirements in that the more programs you have 'stuck' permanently to the start menu directly effects (affects?) how many 'recent' programs can be displayed...
Anyone else ever figure this out? I intentionally pair down my start menu, but now it is the entire vertical length of the screen because of the recent programs list. I've searched here and google.
You need to install this cab file. It will delete the recent programs entries when you soft reset.
Excellent, thanks for the help.

Hmmm, mine seems to do this anyway - which I don't always want. Wonder if there's a setting somewhere?
thanks, but i dont softreset my device so often. it would be nice if they were a reg hack or so to limit it...
thanks
cleartemp deletes them when every you want///

Help with uninstalling something with SKTools

hi i have installed a the Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager on my tytn ll but dont want it anymore and now i cant uninstall it, i try to run the installation process again to have the existing installation removed but i always get a message that it cannot be uninstalled, so i have gotten the SKTools program to remove it but still cannot find or remove this thing, can someone tell me where to look or how to get rid of it. thank you.
In SKTools:
- to be safe, start by doing a backup of your device (Sprite Backup or similar)
- select installed programs, then select the app you want to uninstall (and no other, otherwise they will also be uninstalled !)
- it shows all the components installed for that app
- make a screen capture of the installed components and save it for later reference
- select "Action", then "Uninstall marked" (not Uninstall marked standard !)
- if all goes well, it should be uninstalled
- otherwise, manually uninstall the components in your saved screen capture.
hi and thanks. see this is the problem tho, this 'Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager' is not showing up in the installed programs, i actually cant find it anywhere, i mean i know its there somewhere obviously, but i've even unzipped the file on my computer then looked for the files that came out of it manually in the windows folder and a few other places and using the search function of the fone and on SKTools and still can't find it haha. bugging me man. actually the search function doesnt bring up anything, i type in the exact file name of a few of the unzipped files and get no results. and now actually my original dial pad on the phone has been messed up too.so if anyone knows where i can find the windows mobile 6.1 phone dialpad i'd appreciate that too. does it even come separate?
First, did you soft reset after your uninstall? It often helps.
Also, being careful and using a registry editor, did you check if there are any unwanted remnants of the old dialer in the registry?
hi, thanks. no i didnt do a soft reset, i dont even know what that is actually. and i can't uninstall the app thats my problem. how would i know what files to look for in the registry?
thank u.

1) search for soft reset on this forum
2) under HKLM/software and HKCU/software, look for the name of the editor/developper or the name of the app
Again, be careful
Have you made sure commanager is not running before uninstall?
A way to make sure is to soft-reset "turn device off then on "
