Help with Removing dead Icons in my new ROM

[kendzlic]

Hey everyone. I decided to cook myself a new ROM. I removed a bunch of programs but I now have two dead shortcuts. One is the Sliding Sounds app in Settings\Personal and the other is TouchFlo in Settings\System. I tried to locate them on the device and attempt to delete them with Total Commander but can't seem to find them. Any ideas on how to get those blank icons out of there? Are they registry entries? Thanks in advance.

For TouchFlo, remove this key (in rgu | OEMApps):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet25]
"CmdLine"=""
"Name"="TouchFLO Settings"
"Path"="TFSettings.exe"
"Title"="TouchFLO"

For Sliding sounds, just remove all key/string that has 'sliding'
(in OEMDrivers & OEM_Lang_**** rgu) & all corresponded files.

If i remember correctly, sliding sounds is in one of the provxml files...maybe 105 in the operator pkg file in oem. if not try the the other provxmls.

Actually I just deleted the key for TouchFlo as you stated and even after a reset it is still showing up as a blank shortcut icon in Settings...Any other ideas?

EDIT: I went into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\ and removed the coresponding numbered file....is this ok? It removed those blank shortcuts.

try looking in OEMApps for TFLOsettings.lnk or something similar and delete it

In case anyone was wondering, my problem was that I didn't edit the initflashfiles.dat and the mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml files correctly before cooking my ROM. All good now. Thanks again guys.
