Please clarify what you mean by panoramic launchpad. Is this part of Manila, Titanium, or is this part of an app you have installed?

You may need to hard reset to fix this.

Have you tried going from the start menu to settings/system/remove programs and uninstalling it? Then soft reset and then re-install it?
Put the cab in my documents or somewhere other than Internal Storage and run the cab and install it to device memory.
If you have trouble uninstalling, then you may need to use an app like memmaid or sktools that has an uninstaller to remove it before you reinstall.
If you are having other problems with your device you may need to do a backup and hard reset/clear storage.

If panoramic launchpad really survived a hard reset, there may be some malware or some type of corruption locking it the system. Regardless, can you save your contacts and any other needed files, then flash to the stock sprint rom, and hard reset post flash? If so, that should hopefully force an complete overwrite and get rid of it for good.

Best of luck,
R

I think you may be confused about what a hard reset is.
Also, when I said go to settings I mean from the honeycomb start menu of WinMo 6.5 or the Start Menu list that drops down when you click on Start in WinMo 6.1.
I'm not talking about going to settings within the launcher app I'm talking about WinMo 6.5/6.1 settings. The Operating System Settings.

Now, to do a hard reset just go from the start menu to settings/system and click on Clear Storage. Then follow the steps there to clear storage/hard reset. That will reset everything though back to the state your device was after flashing MightyRom.
Like the previous poster said you could flash the shipped 6.1 rom to overwrite everything then flash back to MightyRom if you want. Your call.
