Removing Pre-Installed Apps

5 replies · 3,856 views · Started 12 February 2004

Does anyone have any experience with removing pre-installed applications. . .for example I would like to remove Chess and Solitaire that came on the phone when I purchased it. In the past when I have use the "uninstall" function found in the applications window under the applications menu it only gives me the option to uninstall programs I purchased separately and installed myself it does not allow you to unistall the original programs. Any suggestions? Thank you

I believe (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) those apps can only be uninstalled using the Applications CD that came with the phone and the Applications Suite.

You can't. They are stored in ROM.

Ther are not on the applications CD of the P900 😞

Raven: Is this trues? So there is no way at all to remove them?

otherwise you can delete related files separatly from your C drive, but remember they'll show up when you format your phone!
