Turning off applications built into a ROM

[tedkoppel123]

I'm as ROM addicted as many of you are, but never cooked my own. No plans to.

But occasionally there are things in ROM that I don't like. For instance, PocketCM. I just don't care for it - I liked the original better. But this was baked into the ROM as the default CM.

What's the best way to stop these from executing? Is there an equivalent to a Windows/Startup folder that I would edit?

Thanks...

It really depends on the application. For some things, you remove it from startup. For other things, you go into the app and turn it off. For other things, you'll need to modify the registry.

PocketCM is the latter. You have to modify a registry entry.

Here's the registry entry you need to change:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
and change "String 1" to read:
:MSPOUTLOOK contacts

That should put you back to the default contact manager.
