unable to uninstall *#Starhsah Enabler

[bopey]

am using maemo5 when i try to uninstall *#Starhsah Enabler 0.2 it says "internal error"
i would like some help on how to remove this app from my app manager please

[AgogData]

Open xterm

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove starhash-enabler

If AgogData's suggestion doesn't work, you can also try

sudo gainroot
dpkg --force -r starhash-enabler

For future reference, if I recall correctly, you don't need starhash-enabler with the PR1.3 firmware, if I recall correctly.

Well I can't run *115# to check my balance until I install starhash-enabler, so I guess you do need it even in PR1.3.

[Mentalist Traceur]

I could've sworn I tested it before... Well, if you're sure it doesn't work, fair enough.

[AgogData]

Its working since PR1.2, i check my balance, send msgs to Vodafone (my provider) and send credits using *#

"apt-get" not "opt-get"

USSD ( 3digit *NNN# ) works since PR1.2 iirc without *#-ena
network control codes ( 2digit *NN# ) need *#-ena to work

If HAM refuses to uninstall *#-ena, simply open menu in dialer and set autorotation to some arbitrary value, THEN STORE. This creates the file that *#-ena modifies on installing/uninstalling - sorry for the little flaw in install routine of *#-ena causing this inconvenience (I simply didn't think of situations where that file would vanish after *#-ena got installed - usually there are no such cases ;-D )

BTW *#-ena must get installed/uninstalled via HAM, it doesn't work in apt-get reliably, a "returns -1" or "internal error" could also mean you ran into this trap.
