Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

I've looked around a bit, but can't find a clear answer... Is there any way to remove the HTC Home plugin once you have it installed without doing a hard reset?

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

just do to settings/system/remove programs and choose htc home from the list and remove...

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

That was the first thing I tried... ;)

Hit uninstall, comes up with a message saying not all items could be removed, and do I want to remove it from the list. It doesn't uninstall anything.

try this: go to settings/personal/today/items and uncheck htc home. then soft reset. then go to settings/system/remove programs and try to remove it.
hope this helps,

Tried that as well... No dice. I'll just leave it on for now I suppose.

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

what version of htc home was it?

Ya know, that's a good question... I don't think I have the cab anymore. It's one of the 'standard' versions... It simply says 'HTC HTC Home' in the uninstall menu. I honestly don't remember the cab I downloaded, there's just too many of them.

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

The main reason I want to get rid of it, is because I'm sitting at 10.5 MB free without any extra programs running, and I'd REALLY like to get that number closer to 20.

ok well look in the root of ur device and see if u have a folder named htc home. root being \.

Yeah, it's in the root folder, not Windows.

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

ok then u can still "uninstall" it.
first, go to settings/personal/today/items and uncheck htc home.
then delete the entire folder out of the root directory.
then go to \\\registry\HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\ in the registry and delete the directory htchome.
then go to \\\registry\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ in the registry and delete the directory htc home.

there, now it will be unofficially uninstalled.haha
it will leave no evidence that it was ever there.

hope this helps,

Great idea :laughing3:. If that doesnt work try SKtools and use the uninstall utility.

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

Uninstalled as per Dwizzy's method, then went to 'Remove Programs' and uninstalled it from there. Actually uninstalled this time, and soft reset itself to finish. Freed up about 8.5 MB of RAM space :)

Thanks again!

Well I do have one more question... If you can answer it without me having to make a new thread, that'd be great...

I just bought SK Tools for the memory tools, though I also notice it's got a backup program built in... I bought SPB Backup a couple days ago, and have used it a couple times without any issues. The question is, which of the two is a better backup program?

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

Personally i would say spb backup is better because thats what the program was specifically designed for and not just a part of another program. i have used spb backup too and have had no issues at all. so in conclusion, id say spb is better.lol

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

Haha, I figured... I paid $20 for SPB Backup, and $15 for all of SK Tools... Lol.

It's something of an annoyance to me having more than one program for the same purpose though... :-\

Re: Uninstall HTC Home Plugin?
 

haha yea, idk how good of a job sktools does but i know that you can count on spb to do a good job.
and yea, i know the feeling.haha
