Remove Clear Storage Icon in Settings

[marscandybars]

Hello. Does anyone know how to remove the clear storage icon in the settings panel; or how to add/delete any icons in the settings panel for that matter.

Hi,

I am also looking a way to remove this icon as with this icon any normal user ( my kids) can reset pda.

In RegEdit,

HKLM\ControlPanel

There you will see what is shown under Settings. I believe that setting the value of Group to 1, 2, or 3 will list that App to be under Personal, System, or Connections, respectively. Or you can just delete the App folder and it will not show. Just a hunch..

Hi,

What if you tried to set the Group value to 0? Or delete the App (located in \windows?)

You can't delete it because app is in rom... If you set Group value to 0 then you will have Icon in Settings->Personal.


I have one question how remove Clear storage from ROM Folders? If I delete ClearStorage.exe from OEM\OEMDrivers but I can't find file where is entry for register setup...

[akadonny]

You need to delete 2 registry entries and 3 files before you cook. If it's a cooked rom then removing both reg keys should remove ClearStorage.

HKLM\ControlPanel\Clear Storage
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet4

Keep in mind that Applet4 can me a different applet in different roms so before you go and delete it make sure that the string value for Name is Clear Storage. Hope this helps.

No this doesn't help because Im check alot of files in SYS and OEM folder if have included "Clear Storage" but Im find nothing...
I know for this two entries but I can't find it in files... When Rom is cooked and flashed into device then I can see this two entries...

_Dejan_, my rom in my sig (1.61.DKv3.3) has Clear Storage removed so I know it works. To remove you need to take out 3 files:

from OEM\OEM_Lang_0409
-ClearStorage.exe.0409.MUI
-ClearStorage.htm

from OEM\OEMDrivers
-ClearStorage.exe

Then remove settings from mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml in OEM\OEM_Lang_0409:
<characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet4">
<parm name="Name" value="Clear Storage" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Title" value="Clear Storage" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Path" value="ClearStorage.exe" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="CmdLine" value="" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Clear Storage">
<parm name="Group" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>

Cook your rom without these files and settings and Clear Storage will be gone. If you are not cooking and just want to remove the icon, do as said in my previous post and reboot.

Hi,
I would like remove it in my cooked rom before I cook it...
and there I have one problem. I don't have mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml in OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 folder and ClearStorage.exe.0409.MUI and ClearStorage.htm in OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 folder doesn't exist too... In OEM\OEMDrivers I have ClearStorage.exe and If I look .DSM file C l e a r S t o r a g e . e x e is present too. But if I edit this file then Can't Build(Give me error) ROM... Any other way?

[akadonny]

_Dejan_, what rom are u using as your base? i'm positive that these files are in the 2 most recent at&t official roms (1.60 and 1.61) and the most recent one from htc (1.56) because my rom (DKv3.3) is a mix of these 3.

Hi Im using Alex's HTC 1.56 Cooking Kit v4(ROM Folders) with custom OS.NB After cooking and flashing I see in registry this entries but this is to late... One way is if I when complete dumb temp files edit default.hv or user.hv but If I do this everytime when I build rom this will take me alot of time...

Hello. Does anyone know how to remove the clear storage icon in the settings panel; or how to add/delete any icons in the settings panel for that matter.

Removing it from a running image is as simple as the following registry change (no need to delete entire registry keys or files):

HKLM\ControlPanel\Clear Storage
Group=dword:9

Removing it from a ROM you are cooking requires the following:

[OEM\OEM_Lang_0409]
REMOVED: ClearStorage.exe.0409.MUI
REMOVED: ClearStorage.htm

[OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml]
REMOVED: <characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet4">
REMOVED: <characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Clear Storage">

[OEM\OEMDrivers]
REMOVED: ClearStorage.exe


P.S. You must be able to see even system protected files to see some of these, in My computer select: Tools|Folder Options|View Tab and make the following changes:
- Hidden files and folders
[X] Show hidden files and folders
- [ ] Hide extensions for known file types
- [ ] Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
