Help Removing Application

officer629 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2008, 09:23 PM

I installed "Alfonso ThrottleLauncher" and my touch became very slow. I then attempted to remove it via Settings/System/Remove Programs. Everytime I try to remove it I get " Alfonso ThrottleLauncher was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs? " I tryed doing a soft reset and that didnt help. I also tryed removing it through MemMaid and that didn't work. Can anyone please help me get this thing off my Touch, it's running like crap.

the only way would be to hard reset your phone

OMG! I was really hoping not to hear that. What is it like a Trojan? Damn!

lol!! i had the trojan on my pc it messed my whole computer up

but if you download htc back up it will save all your contacts and other personal info for you into your sd card then after hard reset install it again and it will send every thing back so that you dont loose all your info

Do you still have the .cab file for the program? If so, I could examine it and tell you what you need to remove manually to completely remove it from your device

ok so, I was under the assumption that it was making my touch slow because evertime I would open windows from file explorer it would take nearly 10 minutes to open and the ppc wouldnt run until it was opened. Now the problem i'm having is that i finally got the app removed ( I reinstalled it, then the uninstall worked ), but the windows opening proccess is still giving me trouble. Any idea why this is happening. It only happens when trying to open windows.

Well, that explains it... The Windows folder is MASSIVE! Not just that, it contains a CRAP LOAD of files. It normally takes MUCH LONGER than other folders. It should only take up to 7 seconds though...

I'll see if I can find a regedit or something somewhere.

Thank you. I hope you can help me this is really a pain. I really appreciate your help.

Dang... I can't find it! I remember it worked on the Apache, but its not on my list of reg edits.

It can heavily depend on how many files are cooked into your ROM as well.

Also, what file explorer are you using? I'm not sure if it will help much, but use something like Resco and it may speed up the loading time of the folders.

Sorry I wasn't much help
