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 will be in both places. don't worry if an error come up while removing. it will remove it anyway. this works best when Preware say you have the patch installed but gives an error and will not allow removal.
2) run preware "emergency patch removal". 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. if you still have problems continue on.
3) run web os 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 1.2.1 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
4) run webos doctor. Puts you back a 1.2.1 erases some things also.
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.
Thank you thank you thank you! i searched for hours ans hours, literally, for information to fix my phone. I was not able to get a previous Theme all the way removed and nothing would work till I did these steps. I got it removed and was able to add a new one and it WORKED! I had soooo many files messed up after running the last program. Keep up the good work and I love that I can forward my messages now. Something so simple and they cant even include it in the updates. Your that man!!!!!
