recently i had to hard reset my htc diamond. i was just wondering is there anyway to prevent installation of softwares like mp3 editor, opera9 etc (which i hardly use) which i think are embedded in the ROM. also what functions will i lose if i do that? and can i install some of those softwares later (using extracted diamond cabs)?

I never used a HTC Diamond, but generally if the programs are built into the Rom there is no way to prevent installation, without editing the ROM, and I wouldn't even know how to do that, and I would never try because that is a definite way to brick your device. That being said once the hard reset is finished and your device is fully booted up you should be able to remove the programs from the device by going into your remove programs, on my SGH-i617 remove programs in located in setting. As far as what features you would lose, the HTC Diamond should come with pocket internet explorer so you should be able to browse the web still if you remove Opera. As for the mp3 editor I would imagine that that is for editing MP3's so you can set them as ring tones, I would leave that installed. Finally at least for Opera you can download the program later and install it. I hope I have helped you at least a little bit. Have a good day.
