hi,
I install a program called 'GPSID Settings' (thinking it might cause a miracle). I removed that program from start->settings->Remove Programs (now it's not here), however, it's still present in the menu!!! How do I totally remove it.
Like most windows uninstalles it deleted the data but not the folder, if you sync it up with your computer you should be able to go into the phone and delete the folder / icons... Might give that a try

I like to install trials to check out new stuff and such, but since my phone hasnt got unlimited space I need to remove them as well.
Now the problem is that when I go to settings > system > remove programs
it only lists the first 11 programs that I've installed myself.
Is there a tweak or a registry setting that can be used to keep that program list updated and show every program installed.
If not, how can I uninstall a program completely ?
there should be shown every programm you installed, if you installed it with a cab or over active-sync
on my phone there are over 20 programms without any problem.
perhaps you just copied the software?!
otherwise check active-sync extras->software there should also been listed the installed software with a cross in front, if it is installed on your pda or just on you pc
I installed everything (all cab files) through active sync.
My rom is still the original one too, but only the first 11 programs are listed on my device.
Hi,
i needed to restore my device from a backup with Sprite version 6.2.2(upgrade full version not the light one coming with my stock rom) ,
when a strange event occured:
After the restore and the device's reboot all none pre-installed(thoses present in stock roms) softwares werent able to be launched,
i had a message " not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found"
and if i cliked on "yes", i had another message like "pocket informant failed to launched /Or editor unknown" and that with all the soft i had installed since my kaiser purchasing(voice command(from MS !)pocket mechanics , phm regedit, even sprite backup).
I tried the xdadevelopper kaiser tweak.exe and advanced schapps configuration tool(to tweak the "none trusted cabs installation security" but both refused to "run"(kaiser tweak) or be installed (schapp's) from my sdcard and so tried to run an install from my
pc of "phm regedit" but windows mobile center 6.1(under vista) gave me an error "unable to install/install failed" like if all my device was 'read only'
or if no "administrator privileges" were given to me on the device(from laptop or its sdcard).
ps:i wasnt able to merge(double tap) even a registry backup made on my sdcard before or install the SDK certs cab file .
So from my backup folder on my sdcard(where i had 3 different backups with 3 different dates), i tried to run the backup.exe(s), but i had the same worries(the exe wasnt able to be launched).
I decided to wipe out all datas via 'parameters/system/wipe' all datas"(kind of "soft" hardreset) (reboot+"device's first use configuration")and run the backup from the sdcard without any luck.
(the restore is done but at the device start i had many errors like "Pi calendar failed to launch", "voice command" etc
the only way to retrieve my device was to wipe out all datas
like just above and launch a restore from sprite backup on my laptop
(i had to reconnect/disconnect/reboot from usb my device +wmc 6.1 close/"re-launch", 2 or 3 times, in order to be able to restore it)
What i dont understand, last week i had to do a full restore from one of my backups (from sd card ) and it worked(no certificate worry and without prior wipe out) :
So when i wipe out all the kaiser and launch a restore from sdcard
why do i have a worry with "trusted certificates" as the backup is an image
of what was working(when created), it's as if some registry parts or "certificates"(dont know what kind of files, it is) were missing
why?
any idea replies will be welcome !
thanks in advance
Hi, I had the Problem today,too... when Sprite Backup fails oder something like that, then all no plugged-in certificates are away.
I don't know, where I could restore them - some people who had the same problem didn't found any help by restoring a former backup.
But there's a (little bit annoying) solution WITHOUT Hard-Reset :
1. At first you need a Registry Editor - and I think your Registry Editor won't work, too - because of the certificate.
So - Reinstall it
2. Then go to the Key HLKM\Security\PromptExclusionList and erase everything (except from DEFAULT). So that Registry-Directory is empty.
Now there are the thirst-party-Certificates are no more known from Windows Mobile
3. Now go to your Programs in Programms-Menue which didn't worked... you will be prompted everytime because of the certificate - and confirm it with yes... and you have the certificate for further times
When you have very much programs installed... then you will have very much to confirm... but after a Hard-Reset... I think that's much more mork, isn't it? Especially when you have a special theme (I love the black theme for 1.93)...
Hope it works fine, too. And I'll have a look for another Backup Tool, which makes Backups and doesn't destroy certificates

Hey,
Just had this problem too, no one seems to have written the solution about this. I had to do a hard reset my certificates were also missing, also I was unable to remove installed programs via remove programs. Using HTC Touch HD with stock WM6.1 and upgraded Radio 1.12.25.16.
The back up was made by SunnySoft 3.7 and was a self executed one, which I did once the hard reset was completed. However, I found if I then reinstalled SunnySoft via Active Sync and then restored the backup again this solved the certificate problem but not the uninstall one.
I am now trying a new hard reset and then install SunnySoft before I restore anything, hopefully this will work.
No joy with the backup. The problem with the certificates was because SunnySoft program wasn't restoring the whole backup (I guess due to its size), works better when files restored bit by bit.
However, everything appears to be fine until I try to Remove installed software...Nothing I can do allows me to remove anything from the program list, just says it wasn't uninstalled properly do I want to remove it from the list (but doesn't). I can't even reinstall the software to fix it, just fails install.
Is there anyway to rebuild the program list or reinitalise the list to install over the top again and allow items to be uninstalled? Where are these settings located?
Failing that, I'll want to rebuild the system from scratch, but I need to know where the contacts and SMS messages are located in the system (so I can at least keep these).
Thanks for any assistance in advance. By the way, what is the best backup software which works for WM6.1???
Solution...
Moved on a bit with this (sorry if no one is interested in my self replies but this might help someone with the same issue)
The Remove Programs seems to end up in two different states:
1) Blank and new installs fail 2) Populated but programs can not be removed but new installs work (This state we can work with).
I think to get to state 2 the difference is installing Sunnysoft Backup after the Hardrest via active sync (I guess this helps it initialise the Remove Programs list).
Restore Data:
As mentioned before if the Restore doesn't work in one go (mine is about 50Mb compressed) then only restore the files (all except windows/internal store/registry/database), this gets a good chunk out of the data out of the way (the system resets after which is why we purposely miss out anything which effects what runs on the system). Now restore all the "folders" within windows (except appdb/AppMgr/Start Menu/Start Up/System and files within Windows), again this avoids anything new running without everything being ready when it restarts. Finally, restore the Database, Registry, Internal Storage and any remaining folders & files within windows. If you don't get certificate issues and the Remove Programs is populated it is ok to move on to the next bit.
Remove Programs:
This problem here is the SunnySoft backup defaults to not including tmp files. Unfortunately the registry references to tmp files stored in Windows\AppMgr\{appname}\ which are now no longer there (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!), this is what is stopping the program from being removed or reinstalled correctly.
1. Look up the name of the tmp file in the registry: HKLM\Security\AppInstall\{appname}\Uninstall\
2. Copy an old tmp file with the correct name i.e.1001.tmp in Windows\AppMgr\{appname}\. NOTE: Install a new program, copy it's tmp file. Then uninstall the new program again.
3. You can also note down the references to the other files if you don't have the original install (but this won't be the cleanest way).
4. You can now go ahead and remove the program from Remove Programs List.
5. Finally remove the files you noted or reinstall the program (and uninstall as you would before if required)
How stupid.
Hi,
I've instaled IGO8 the other day, but for whatever reason mine phone decided to soft reset during instalation. It might have been my fault as I usually do something elese on the phone while installing sits in background.
Anyway, after the reset I was able to run IGO but it closed after I have inputed adress to it. The error said that map.(can't remember the extetnion) was missing. I figured out that because of soft reset during instalation I haven't had all files in IGO.
I couldn't uninstall it from remove programs so I deleted it with tcmd, as well as the files in windows (there where couple of them assigned to IGO) but couldn't find any registery entries for it (using TCMD).
Now every time I try to install IGO, cab says that I have it already and does not install anything apart from the files that go into windows.
I know that I need to delete everything that IGO left on my kaiser off the system, but i don't know what.
I don't want to start hard-reseting just yet.
Thanks in advance.
Check your 2577 dir and delete all iGO stuff in the programm folder.
Use memmaid to REALY uninstall it and check reg.
Switch off phone, pull SD, switch on phone with valid 2577 dir and it should install.
Your 2577 should look like (see attached)
I have a stock HTC Touch Diamond. I am wanting to remove the apps I don't use like Messenger and some others. I tried through ActiveSync but because they are built into the ROM they do not show up. Is there an app or something I can use to remove these?
Thanks

SKTools will allow you to remove apps that are installed on your device that don't show up in the Remove Programs part of Settings.
Also, you could hard reset your device and soft reset before customizations run and then install only the apps that you want.
Or, use activesync and browse to Windows-Start Menu-Programs and delete the program shortcuts that you don't want to see. Though with this option all you are doing is removing the program shortcut the program files are still there.
I tried SKTools but under the installed programs section it only shows the ones I have installed. I wanted to remove the likes of WLM, YouTube etc. I ripped all the ROM data (following one of the tutorials, so I have 4 RAW files but not sure how to combine them back to an NBH file so I can edit them in a kitchen to remove what I don't want.)
Ok well I managed to reconstruct the ROM but I have no idea how successful I actually was at doing such. I followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066. I really want to put this ROM on the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622093 but I am afraid that if I screw up the flashing and my reconstructing of the stock ROM didn't work that I would be screwed. Any suggestions? Also my provider doesn't make the ROM available and neither does HTC (for Rogers that is).
In SKTools if you go to the Installed Programs Section click on the right softkey and select settings.
Then scroll down to "Show Applications Not Listed As Installed." Change the setting to Yes.
Maybe then you can remove what you want.
Also, you can use the Move Data part to move files, folders, and applications to Internal Storage to free up space.
Believe it or not but that is not an option under settings that will show Applications not listed as Installed... running SKTools 4.5.1.4.
Scratch that. I found it
I have Co-Pilot 8 on my phone. To install you put the Co-Pilot 8 directory on the SD-card and it automatically starts. When I upgrade the ROM, this seems to interrupt the install process and it will not complete. So, I end up removing the Co-Pilot 8 directory, installing the new ROM and then copying over for re-install and have to enter the KEY codes again and again.
Is there a way to keep Co-Pilot 8 on the card, stop the re-install and leave it installed on the memory card? I understand I would need to copy the registry entries. What else? How do I stop the self install?
This won't be the answer you're looking for...Option 1 - I allow it to auto install up to the next prompt; whether to install to device memory or SD memory card and cancel it there and continue forward with configuring the device. I'm in the middle of learning to do all of this auto-install of my CAB files, e-mail settings, etc. I know exactly what you're talking about but I tend to ignore it. You must keep the folder "2577" as it's own on the storage card (root) or lose everything you have saved and the product key. I try to remember to deactivate but it's not committing suicide unless you change hardware devices. It simply asks for registration e-mail address and password.
Option 2 prior to flashing temporarily move "2577" to within folder "copilot" and move it back to root when you're done configuring your device.
Both are not the solution I think you're after and I've yet to figure out where in the registry that instructs it to Auto-Install after "X" amount of time. If
you find it, please let me know; take care and thanks!
Just a thought but you could try deleting the AUTORUN file in the 2577 folder, ya know, since you don't want it to Autorun or anything.
I removed the Autorun and indeed it did not interrupt the new ROM update.
When I placed the Autorun back it tried to run but gave an error. I found out that the copilot.wmppc.cab file is deleted after install so I had to copy that over and then it installed. As I installed to memory card again, it picked up the keys.
For next rev I am doing a pre-install and post-install registry compare. I will add the registry edits to my XDA_UC file and also copy the link across to the Windows folder to see if I can just upgrade the ROM with no install needed.
Anyone know why this 'shouldn't' work before I try it?
