Can you post the cab right here? I have an aggressive firewall that I don't control that prohibits your linked site as 'Free Pages' ..sheesh!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
That sounds good and i will test it on the Rhodium 100 aka Touch Pro 2. Will report later.

Love the icon :)

I ran it after having removed 90% of what it scrapes, and it worked like a charm. Thanks, great utility!

That's right. It can either uninstall an app, or finish removing what's left of an app that was not properly uninstalled.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pyromosh:
I didn't even realize the files could be hosted here as a normal user. I've just edited the main post of this thread to include the file you'll need.

Bear in mind that it's not a cab though. It's a zip file containing an exe and a config file for the Tilt 2. Just save those to the same folder on your device, run the exe, and the rest is self explanatory.

I have a CDMA phone (Verizon Rhodium 500)and would love to give it a shot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bennyj71:
Tried it on my Tilt2 unfortunately, I didn't have the option to remove the programs I installed the app to remove. Looks like it needs somemore development to be able to select everything on the phone. I can't comment on how good it works because I didn't remove anything. I do appreciate the effort though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pyromosh:
What app(s) specifically are you referring to?

The only apps it removes are the ones defined on the wiki entry defining the crapware here.

If I know what apps you'd like removed, then I can add those apps to the XML file that defines the list of apps to check for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bennyj71:

Be nice for a sprint version what do you need in order to make one
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LjTx:
HELP!!!

Ok, I'm at my wits end. I've downloaded the zip, extracted the files & copied them to the phone (was drag & drop ok?). I can't get the program to launch. I just get windows offering to run out to the web to find a fix.

How do you execute it? I don't see it listed on the phone itself so I thought I should do it via the laptop on the .exe that was on the phone.

Does it matter what OS is on my laptop?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LjTx:
AWESOME!

Just want to say that pyromosh is awesome. Walked me thought what I needed to do.

For those that don't have Framework 3.5 - you need to install that on your PC then dig down in that folder to get the 3.5 cab file to move to your phone and install.

After that, it works like a charm.

On happy Texan gal here. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tjinjer:
great program, pyromash....

i was directed to this thread because I'm trying to delete the actual .exe files from the Windows folder (plus some other stuff like the bloat mp3's)... i tried with File Explorer & Total Commander... these delete attempts all failed...

is there a way to do this??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] InRBigness:
I just wanted to say that this program works awsome. I am on Rogers so virturally none of the ATT specific stuff even works for me anyways. I removed it all and the phone is faster and have way more ram.

Version for T-Mo?

This is a great idea. Is there a version for T-Mobile? Or will this version work on a T-Mo phone to scrape the crud that matches what AT&T puts on?

P.S. Looks like your server, pyromosh.org, has crashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Ivanstein:
I want to add in a vote (plea maybe?) for a sprint version.

NFL and NASCAR? Really? How many rednecks are going to use a winmo phone. Sprint should have left it for the redneck phones like the purple lotus and the pink rumor. For us geeks they should have put something like MMO game servers status or G4tv.

Sorry, but pocket protectors will always pwn mullets. Get a clue sprint.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MacDuffie:
Quick question about this app. Regarding the list of files and registry entries you have on the Wiki, does this list cover everything your app does?

In other words, if I manually removed all the files and registry entries listed on the wiki page, would that be a complete uninstall of those programs, just as if I had installed and run your app?

Thanks for providing the tool, and the list of what it does!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] InRBigness:
from the zip file:

********************

* *

* INSTALLATION *

* *

********************

1) You should have Crud Scraper.exe, included in the same ZIP as this readme.txt file.

2) Make sure you also have a copy of config.xml for your device. If the copy of config.xml you have is not intended for your device, it won't do you much good, so make sure that it's correct. If you aren't sure, head over to http://www.xda-developers.com/

3) Copy both the Crud Scraper.exe file and config.xml file over to your device.

********************

* *

* USAGE *

* *

********************

1) Find the Crud Scraper.exe program and run it.

2) The program will scan your system for the programs listed in the config.xml, and will let you remove any that are installed (or still partially uninstalled). Programs listed in the config.xml that are not on your device will be shown, but will not be selectable.

3) Select the ones you want removed, click "Scrape!", and you're done.

where to put files

sorry guys,

I am a newbie, this tilt 2 is my first winmo device and I am wondering where to copy the files to on the files management section of the windows mobile device center to get the program to show up on my phone. Any help is appreciated...thanks.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] enahs_:
I have had this for a while, thought it was great.

But I just noticed today on my Tilt 2, the game demos that it comes with that it says it removes, are still in the Windows directory taking up space (you can play them just fine by loading them manually).

So this program just deletes the start menu links or what?

How can I actually delete them off of my device? When I try to delete the exe files from the windows directory it says access denied (I am using Total Commander).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nitegmoney:
so i installed this and opened the zip file, how do i copy it to my device? when i hold the stylus on it i dont get any options, only thing i can do is menu and extract files? can someone walk me through this? where do i extract the files to?? help i want this app to work... the zip file is in my documents? but what do i do from there, because when i open crud scraper.exe file no programs show up?? confused....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bryonb:
Awesome util - saved me 43 MB

This is just what I was looking for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
You can just extract the files to any folder on your phone's SD card, and then once they're all together in a folder (not the zip file anymore), you can then just run the .exe

You can also then just delete the folder when you're done using the app, no "uninstall" necessary...it never really installs anything, it just runs the executable to do what it needs :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Skeleton:
Can a Cooked ROM make a leaner ROM than Crud Scraper?

I am interested in a fast ROM and maximizing available storage. WinMo 6.5 (not 6.5.x) is good enough for me. The basic Sense UI is fine enough, although I may instead us my SPB Mobile Suite. As such ...

I have used this program on my new Tilt2 and removed all the listed crapware. The program worked perfectly.

1) What would CrudScraper not be able to clean out (aside from Manila) for a leaner ROM?

2) Is there any merit in me instead installing a lean cooked ROM, such as "e2"?

3) Given that I have Manila remaining on my stock ROM, and that I use WinMo6.5 as my UI (by turning off Manila on the "Today setup". Will any portions of Manila, in any way, still be running for which it will contribute to slowing the processor?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Keltisch WerWolf:

Protected ROM files

Sorry I've been away for a while. I see a lot of other people have been answering questions for me while I've been gone, but this is a great question that nobody seems to have addressed.

The stock ROMs have certain parts that are in the protected part of the phone's memory. That's how a hard reset works, it looks at the protected part of the phone's memory and copies everything back to stock. The only way to delete things from this protected part of ROM is to replace the stock ROM with another one (a cooked ROM, or a custom ROM for instance).

What Crud Scraper does, is it goes through the non-protected parts of the phone and removes any instances of these apps from these locations.

For the most applications (there are exceptions) it removes files and / or folders from the "\Program Files" folder, entries from the registry, and shortcuts from the start menu.

As you've pointed out, the files are still present for many apps in the ROM itself, but if you don't want to run a cooked ROM, that's as uninstalled as they're going to get.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pyromosh:
Here's what would be needed to port this to other devices:

This is 99% right.

When I wrote Crud scraper, I built it to be modular. The config.xml file is just an XML file, and in the readme.txt, I explain how anyone who is knowledgeable about WinMo can write their own config.xml for other devices, or even a different one for the Tilt 2.

When I wrote it, I used the XDADeveloperWiki entry on the Tilt 2's bloatware to define what gets removed (I may have added a couple extra things, I don't recall now).

Now, if I had a list of application names, file paths and registry keys for the bloatware on other devices, I could easily write config.xml files for those devices.

Unfortunately, when I found the wiki article on the Tilt 2's bloatware, I had assumed that similar articles existed for other devices. I did not realize at the time that it was a unique article.

In other words, if the community can step up and give me the data I need to create config.xml files for other devices, then I can create config.xml files for other devices.

But without the info here, there's not much I can do.

Yes, it's work to track down all the file paths, and registry keys on a device for all the crapware. But with this app, that only has to be done ONCE, and lots of people benefit.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] FL5:
Crud Scraper works on the new Tilt 2 rom just like it did with the original ( used it myself just yesterday :D ). To use it, you *DO NOT INSTALL* it. Unzip the files into a folder on your phone, and tap the exe file. It just runs. Keep in mind, though, that you will have to have already installed .netcf 3.5 (and likely rebooted afterward).

Good Luck, and Happy Scraping!
