How Do I Remove iContacts/How to Restore Original Contact Manager?

[katefields]

Hi all,

I love this forum, but I must admit I feel in way over my head.

I bought a modded xv6800 on eBay and I absolutely love it. It has Scott's ROM pack, WM 6.1, and iContacts. I, however, have never actually modified any phone successfully (the reason I bought it already done.)

I don't especially care for iContacts. I would prefer to use whatever contact manager came with the phone originally, but I can't seem to delete iContacts.

To delete iContacts, I have gone into "Remove Programs", but it is not on the list. I have found two instances of it in My Device>Windows, but neither one has the option to delete (it is greyed out for both of them when I tap and hold on them.)

Additionally, I have found what looks like the icon for the Windows contact program. When I tap on it, though, it reverts to iContacts.

Sooo... that's my question. How to get rid of iContacts?

Thank you!

You can't uninstall it like that. It's an OEM file, which means it came built into the operating system. The only way to remove it would be to download his kitchen and remove it from the selected items. Then it should use the default contacts program.

I wouldn't recommend trying to remove iContacts, since it's in the ROM, as bill said.

However, you can switch back to the default contact manager with a registry edit. No need to reinstall.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"

Basically, download a registry editor and change the value of this REG_SZ registry entry to the one above. Leave off the quotes. Double click on the current registry entry and change the following value:

"Windows\iContact.exe"

to this value:

:MSPOUTLOOK contacts

Feel free to PM me if you need more help with this ROM.
