These are the steps
I use to get rid of tweaks/patches/ bad installs/ themes /incomplete removals of the above. SOME PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN MY METHODS BUT THIS IS HOW
I GET IT DONE WHEN PATCHES ARE STUCK IN MY PHONE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM DON'T USE THEM. PATCHES DO GET STUCK. (SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY DON'T) THESE WILL GET YOU FIXED UP.
Please use caution when doing step #2. It is going to
remove whichever file from your phone. Chances are you were about to Doctor your phone when you got to this post. If that is true than might as well try to follow these steps.
1) use webos quick install and go to tools/ device management/ look through the applications and also patches drop down menus on the upper right. tweaks/patches MAY be in both places. don't worry if an error come up while removing. it will most likely remove it anyway. this works best when Preware say you have the patch installed but gives an error and will not allow removal.

2) Use quick install to try to Re-install the patch. if you get an error saying the file path already exists. write down that really long file name (path). go to tools -> delete file/directory -> choose "directory" and type it file path names. click delete. could be more than one error per path do this to each error. If your scared skip this step. If you have lost all hope. do it.
3) Run Preware or Quick Install's "EPR" Emergency Patch Recovery. it can be found on the preware app under linux applications. or just go to list of everything and type in the name. this will get rid of all patches. you will install it than remove it. it's very quick. Remove all themes before running this. If you still have problems continue on.
4) Do step #3 and remove any patches / themes that you can before this step. Run webOS repair utility. when you start the app go under options and pick "override compatibility". This will get rid of all tweek/ patches/ errors and put you back to stock 1.xx without messing up any of your personal files. if you don't chose override compatibility the program will skip over your tweeks and not fix them. when you run the program be sure to choose to fix whatever it finds so that you don't leave anything on there that could be causing an error. even if you think it is working fine
http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-...r-utility.html (make sure that RU has been updated for the latest software update) i think it's good to do this step from time to time to get a freash feeling phone. kinda like giving your software a shower.
5) go into the launcher and "device info" at the bottom click "reset options" and do a partial erase. you will loose any apps you have but they will automatically download back for you. except for homebrew. you will also have to re-login to ALL of your accounts. including palm profile.
6) run webos doctor. Puts you back a software 1.x.x erases some things also, new fresh phone though
these steps will get you fixed up. i suggest that you only load patches/ tweaks from one source. preware or quick install from now on. just makes things easier.
