I tried searching the board but didnt find any appropriate link regarding this..
anyway there are some factory programs loaded that I dont need/use, is there a way to remove them to free up RAM?
uninstall
if you are referring to uninstallation tts similar to uninstalling a program on windows...
then u can find it under Start >>> Settiings.. not the tf3d's settings but the one under windows mobile
there should be a icon called REMOVE PROGRAMS under the SYSTEM tab..
alternatively, you could run activesync and under program management untick the relevant programs and it will uninstall on its next sync

im talking about the stock programs...not anything that I installed. I'm talking about the factory loaded programs like windows live, bubble breaker, internet explorer, RSS hub, etc. I want to remove those to free up space.
its called cooking your own ROM..
you can have certain things not load up by doing a soft-reset when the auto-config pops up on 1st boot after ROM upgrade or hard-reset..
but then you gotta go find the cabs for the stuff that you want

just the reply I was looking for. Thanks.
with that being said, how do i get start on cooking my own ROM (..yes i guess i can do a search on this as well)? and where do I go to find all CABs for certain programs?

when you remove a program does it really remove all traces of the program? I realize the cab file has to be deleted manually but like on a pc do most programs leave junk behind on a poketpc?
It's Windows man! Need you ask?
a little off topic, but one thing i've noticed with my Kaiser is that a few of my installed programs do not appear in the "remove programs" list. using WMDC, however, programs will appear and give me the option to uninstall but uninstalling does nothing; the program(s) are still on my device. as RemE said... "it's Windows..."
What program?
Probably, the installation was not right ... so the uninstall information is not properly available.
Try to re-install and then uninstall to clean it.
just a general question...seems to clean up after itself pretty well.
I have uninstalled programs and still have them in my add remove program list how do I remove them?
Is it in the registry i have tried everything and no luck thanks.

what program exactly, because I believe that some of them have this problem
programs
MAME CE3 and Concrete software bowling, i have uninstalled them no problem but it wont remove the from the add remove list and i dont know how to, thanks.
In similar cases, I use SKTools, an excellent program.
Here is the link http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
I want to know why certain programs don't uninstall 100% even when it was installed and uninstalled correctly meaning the name still shows in the list as installed and there's no file traces left.
I have installed the SK Tools, but I cant seem to find how to do it, any instruction or fixes pls, thanks
In the registry, HKLM\Software\Apps if I remember well.
nope, apps still showing in "remove programs list" even though they were uninstalled like anything else

Before starting, I would recommend a backup, just in case.
On the main SKT opening screen, go to
- left soft key "Category"
- select "Maintenance"
- select "Installed Programs"
- after a short search, SKT displays the list of all your installed apps
- when you point your stylus on the app you want to completely delete, you will see all its installed components in the lower half of the screen (a good thing at this point is to make a screen capture so in the worst case you can manually delete the remains, but normally it shouldn't be necessary, SKT usually doing a better removal job than the default remover)
- make sure that all boxes are unchecked, except the one you want to delete, and then go to left soft key "Action" and select "Uninstall marked".
I always just go into File Explorer/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Then remove broken links from there.
He means removing the entries from the add/remove programs panel, not the start menu.
Tried this and no go any other ideas guys, the sk tools might be ok if i had programs installed, i might install them again and then uninstall via sktools see how that goes. any other ides.
sktools can remove it, but it is always on uninstall list!!

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.
Hi,
I installed opera mini on to my diamond (on the device storage and NOT on internal storage). I didn't like the browser so decided to uninstall it. However, I still have the 'e' java logo for the browser in my programs, and can't for the life of me figure out how to remove it!! Can anyone please advise how to remove it?
Anyone? I tried a hard reset but that didn't get rid of the problem!
Thanks
Are you sure that the 'e' like icon is not of JBlend,(which is the Java Platform used to run all your Java apps on the phone)?
If it came installed with the ROM, which it normally does, it will not be un-installed even on a hard-reset.
By the way, what happens when you click on that icon? Do you have any other Java apps installed, which you can see?
\windows\start menu\programs
and delete the shortcuts you dont want
Can anybody tell how to uninstall a program which has been installed on the device itself?
Uninstall...
All applications, whether installed to Internal Storage or device memory are un-installed the same way - via the 'Remove Programs' option under system settings. If the application doesn't show up in the list, then it's probably installed in the ROM, in which case you can't remove it.
Hope this helps
I've installed a Dutch Localization file for 6.5, but now some of the screen are acting strange, so I want to uninstall it...
but it seems that's not possible?

You might have to stop the program first (if it is running) before you can uninstall it. Use something like MemMaid or Pocket Mechanic or SKTools to stop and then remove your program.

It isn't even listed. So it's not that it won't (completely) uninstall.
I've just reflashed it, so yeah...
Hi
My phone takes like 3 minutes to be able to be used when starting it.
I know and think there are some autostart applications during bootup.
Where can I modify the startup applications?
I already checked Windows\Autostart but I can't find the applications I know should be there.
TomTom has something at bootup but there's nothing in Windows\Autostart
Is there any registry items I can check?

Windows\Startup
That folder is empty...
No registry entries?
Ofcourse it takes some time to load everything (TF3D for example) before you can start use the phone without serious lag. It's not a computer with 3ghz processor you know. Try install Advanced Taskmanager and kill some processes.
Ofcourse i'm aware of that. But TomTom loads at startup and has an icon just under the startmenu. Things like that I want to remove from startup...
Try sk tools
it has an option for startup programs...
