Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

Thanks Man!

From reading the press release, Im guessing it allows them to update and patch the firmware "Over the Air".

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

It should add the "update profile" and "update PRL" options (if not already there, like for example a custom ROM)

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

Exactly. I did not install this cab and when I go to Settings/System and click on the "Update PRL" or "Update Profile" the icons simply do nothing. Nothing loads nor does the phone slow down as if something is happenening in the background.

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

Interesting! I did not know what that application was. Thanks for explaining it!

I want to add: There was a file in that directory (\windows\omc) on my HTC Diamond called "omc_out.log" and it was 35 freaking megabytes big! It was hogging up my entire storage area. The regular "find" feature on windows mobile didn't work or I didn't see it in the list.

I only noticed it when I used SKTools to find out how my memory was being used. There was a tool in there that displayed the percent of memory used by each folder. Once I got into that folder (\windows\omc) and found that stupid log file I viewed it. In the log file 98000+ times there was a line "TRG: bad notification msg version: 46.9" repeated.

Stupid HTC in their infinite stupidity failed to put a check in omc.exe that limits the size of the log file. Those twits! So some stupid version error lead to my main storage memory getting filled up and the error "Storage memory is critically low" coming up all the damn time these last few days.

Makes me want to kick a HTC programmer the nuts just on general principal. Isn't there a commandment "Thout shalt not fill thy memory with crap!"

I write all this so that someone else searching google for "\windows\omc\omc.exe" might have a chance of finding this or people searching for "storage memory is critically low" along with HTC Touch Diamond terms... They will be able to read this and simply delete the omc_out.log file if it is very large.

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

Usually what I do for extra bloat:

make a blank.txt file, put it in your / folder.

Go into Windows folder, find any files that you don't need, go back to / folder, rename blank.txt to the file name, and copy it to /Windows

Like you don't want SprintTv.exe, rename blank.txt->SprintTv.exe, copy to /Windows and bam, 0kb SprintTv.

You can do this for CABs, and all other read only files. Saves a bit of space

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

Sounds like you guys need a custom Rom request thread lol...

Deleting those will take more than a regedit. Try to uninstall the programs since they are installed w/customizations. If not, then delete the links out of \windows\start menu\programs and then delete the program directory out of \program files ...

A simple stock rom I can do, what was it you were wanting deleted again?

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

My question is for Puff in #12 - or anyone else who is reading.

I checked these files in File Explorer and would like to double check this action.

So you are saying I can copy and paste these into Internal Memory. Should these go in a certain file, such as Programs? Or just wherever I know how to find them???

Do I then delete these out of Windows and soft set to free up space?

I am using too much Memory, another one that bug me that is huge is Live Search.

Thanks.

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

I tried installing nav to storage but it still saved to main.

And havent tried installing sprint tv to storage yet...but i assume doing so is the reason why it wont work when trying to access thru music tab.
Is there a way to edit the music tab to something else?



Are SprintDM_DMClientApp_ProdSetting_v0.9.913.CAB & EngStartMenu_Sprint0613.cab(and what does this do) necessary?

Lastly,
i noticed that some items under internet are missing ...facebook etc.
How do i retrieve them back and can i add other links.


I know its alot to be asking...so thanks for the replies in advance.

note: of the 7 cabs ive only installed nav

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

has anyone else done this, and by doing this I will gain 35mb of device storage space??? I haven't ever hear of this....???? And I can't even find the file, in my omc folder total comander says it is only 375 kb big, is this file hidden?

Re: Deleting Sprint Programs in Reg Ed.
 

I tried finding the above files in Windows via File Explorer, can't find these.
Don't want custom rom, but wanat to move some of those cabs to Internal.

So which ones are safe out of that list and remain working? Can anyone verify before I try it?
