I have a program installed which doesnt show up in programs folder. Neither does it show up in uninstall programs.
I found it by navigating to program files\OmegaOne
How do I get rid of it?
Why doesnt it show in programs under start menu or in the uninstall list?
thanks

Previous install or uninstall process might have been unsuccessful. You can simply delete the folder and clean the registry either manually or using one of the tools like SKTools.
I reinstalled it then was able to see it in programs and uninstall list.
Its gone now.
Hi,
There are couple apps that I can't uninstall: I run parameter/system/remove programs and I get an error like "This app could not be completly removed. Do you want to remove it from the installed program?"
I hit Yes, but still it does not remove it from the list.
Any idea?
I have the following problem. It started after HR and Spb Backup restored (only PIM and apps).
Whenever I install any application (notable the FingerKeyboard) I receive an error like "application installed unsuccessfully". Some apps are still working like Spb Explorer etc.
But FingerKeyboard fails. Repeated installation requires first uninstall the previous version. Uninstalling fails also fails the attempt to just remove FK from the list of installed applications.
I tried manually remove the FK folder from \Windows\Appmngr but File Explorer failed. Spb Explorer somehow succeeded to remove the folder but I'm back to the very beginning of the loop. FK installation fails again.
Seems like some sort of lock on the file system and/or registry. Any ideas?

You have to reboot the device after uninstalling FingerKeyboard.

I cannot uninstall, that's the core of my problem. It states "uninstall unsuccessful" . I rebooted/made soft reset more than once.
Same correct for some other applications. Spb Explorer also failed to install but still works somehow...
I have the swype beta installed on my device, I rooted my device to try and theme the keyboard. I followed the directions from a thread I found on these forums. (New users cannot post links otherwise I would link the thread...)
Swype now no longer works. If I go to applications, it no longer has an uninstall button (Just "Clear Cache/data"). If I use astro, It has an uninstall button but when I click it, it always says "Uninstall unsuccessful"
I would like to continue using swype. I am very frustrated at this point because I have spent all morning trying to figure out how to root my device and apply this theme only to have it screw it all up.
Please tell me how I can uninstall it or get rid of the data so I can reinstall it.
Just try re installing it

it won't let me since it's already technically installed. It just give the option to uninstall which always ends up with "uninstall unsuccessful"
Send the developer an en email and see what he says

You should just manually delete it. Use your file explorer and search /system/app, /data/app, /data/data and delete all instances of swype, and maybe even reboot and wipe dalvik cache in recovery (you won't lose any thing else on your phone, just expect a long reboot after the wipe)
Then just reinstall

I've been having a lot of problems lately....I've searched all over Google and tried many different versions of Swype but get the same result...it keeps force closing itself whenever I try to use it.
It worked flawlessly before when I first got the phone! I decided to try the new Swype beta and stupid me I didn't backup Swype with Titanium (though I did make a backup with Titanium but not sure how to use it or if it'll solve the Swype problem) and installed the new Swype Beta from the official site but it gave me:
"Sorry!
The application Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
dumpstate_app_201012212300_com_swype_android_inputmethod.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
I restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled many times but it's the same outcome I want my swype back!!! T.T I THINK it comes with Android 2.1? I'm not sure...it was on the phone when I bought it 2nd hand.
Regardless I'm sad regular keyboard SUCKS comparatively.
Thanks in advance.
Running Android 2.1 unlocked and rooted.
Same Problem here !
Try this;
Uninstall Swype, also delete libSwypeCore.so from your phone! Restart your phone, and reinstall Swype through an apk

More specifically, uninstall swype using an application like Titanium backup.
Also, delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so using root explorer or ADB. Then reboot your phone and install swype like an apk.
I love the quick responses...but strangely enough...
I have done those things. I deleted the libSwypeCore.so BUT it comes back whenever I look into root Explorer and I have even tried to delete it multiple times! And yes I did delete it and try rebooting (powering off device and powering back on) but it still remains! When I delete it it's gone until I exit the folder...then it comes back
I'm stuck with SlideIT for now which kinda sucks in comparison...I want to use the new swype, which they made open beta btw, but sigh
And I've tried multiple APK versions but to no avail...even 1.5, 2.1.0, 2.15, 2.6.5.
Using SlideIT for now and it pales in comparison to Swype Any ideas?
All I can say is that I had the exact same problem as you, and deleting libSwypeCore.so was the magical break through for me. Like canuck had posted, I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, and then deleted libSwypeCore with Root Explorer.
Hopefully someone else comes in with another solution for you.
yea I tried to delete the libSwypeCore.so but it would come back LIke a bad rash...a really quick instant bad rash...I delete it and as soon as I enter the folder again it's there again!!!
Is there another way to delete it permenantly?

Hmmm, I don't know if this is your problem, but maybe you forgot to click "Mount R/W" before you tried to delete the libSwypeCore.so file? Also, make sure you click "Mount R/O" after you're done deleting.
to be honest, i had the same problem. I just resorted to installing a custom rom.
just to make sure.. are you uninstalling the program before you delete the file. If you are forgetting to uninstall it first, could be a good reason as to why the file keeps returning.
If not, then not quite sure myself. Using a custom rom and if you are, could just backup apps/data and reinstall the rom... just another idea..

I'm on a fascinate...
but similarly....
mine keeps returning upon reboot too. Tried reinstalling / uninstalling with manage apps / reinstalling / uninstalling with titanium... (and deleting libSwypeCore.so after each uninstall... ) only to find libSwypeCore.so back after both restarts. Swype installs fine but when I try to run it it FC. Also get a FC for the swype process when booting up my phone even though slideit is currently set to default.

i dont wanna reflash / format. im lazyyy
Edit: I figured out why I couldn't get rid of it. Root explorer... Even though when I navigate to the folder it said R/w, when using the search function to find the file within the folder...(as I'm too lazy to scroll down) it wasn't letting me delete it with R/W. I had to just scroll down to the file and longpressdelete... i didn't realize the search results wouldnt be in RW even though it said RW at the top.
FYI... The beta installed properly and no longer FC's
thanks, guys. i was able to get it to work. i was having the same problem. i made sure to delete the files using root explorer, i cleared the swype date, force closed then unistalled. then redownloaded the swype beta that i was using. everything is working good now.
im using an atrix.
tried all of this reinstalled and still getting buzzing and forced closes got to be a way to get this to work
