MPEG 2 Player or CODEC For HTC HD2?

I've been searching for a MPEG 2 Player, or CODEC For the HTC HD2? However, so far I've found nothing that confirms it will work on the Windows 6.5 system or on the HD2. :(

I'm trying to play tv recordings from Freeview which are transmitted in MPEG 2 (MPEG-II) format. For me this would be the best tip to include here, converting to MPEG4 takes forever and is a real pain, Especially as earlier versions of Windows Mobile did support MPEG 2.

Tweak for specifing HD2 music directory

I found this for HTC album:

64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album

Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE

Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8

This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset.

Is there the same for mp3 folder? Right now I have all my music on /SDCard/Music

But the HD2 finds all sorts of music and sounds which I dont like.

Nice tips...I love it

But, where can I find a nice registry editor?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonepersonality:
I apologize if this has been reported before, but I've determined that tweak #44, "Prevent Accidental Link Activation When Scrolling", and its associated CAB file cause my in-call screen to malfunction.

By malfunction, I mean that I am unable to get a response from buttons on the touchscreen during a call i.e. mute, hold, speaker, end call...etc.

I can sometimes get a response if I slide my finger across the screen at a certain speed, but that's hardly ideal.

Once the CAB is uninstalled and/or the registry DWORD value changed, the problem goes away (after a reset, of course).

I've only tested this out on MY phone, so I can't speak for anyone else's at this point.

I just thought it would be worth mentioning.

I have noticed in windows explorer each time you want to select multiple files by holding for like 1 second, it either scrolls the content to get a full hold to give you the editing list for the file you are selecting. Each time Ik want to copy/cut many files, I would have to do them one by one unless there are not enough files on the same screen so you won;t need to scroll and then it will let you select multiple files. moreover is there any way to have select several in addition to all in teh edit menu?

If adding a GPS control to the Com Manager would provide real-world power savings, if used to shut GPS off when not needed -- provided it doesn't shut itself off when not needed. Could I do a similar procedure, as for the 3G, with GPS?

I see that \Windows does have a GPS.exe file. Could I use the Microsoft Direct Push control, since I did add an 8th row for the 3G control?

I went back and found the link and clicked it. It took me to a thread for HD2Tweak that didn't say what it did, at least not on the first page of posts. It did have a link to a web page for HD2Tweak, but I couldn't find a link to anywhere on that page that told what it did. I'm not saying its not there, just that I clicked for five min and never found any documentation other than how to install it.

You can't really jump on him for not following the link and finding out what it does if the link doesn't take him to a place that tells him what it does.

I was looking to stop some files from OziExplorer being added to the WMP Library.

I found the following key

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences

under which there is a String called FoldersExcludedFromLibrary.

I tried some values but they don't seem to work but I think that was due to a space in the Folder name \Storage Card\OziExplorer 2

Having removed the space I applied this string \Storage Card\OziExplorer and updated the library in Media Player. Lo it has removed the files. Beware of course that changing the folder name made the application stop working, but I was able to fix that too.

Storing email folders to sc

Hi all,

found the following while searching around for a solution.

Now in WM6 the key to edit is:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

Create two new strings using a reg editor:

PropertyPath = \Storage Card\Inbox

AttachPath = \Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments

Reboot your device. Your device will now create a folder called 'Storage Card' and rename your physical storage card 'Storage Card2'

Use file manager

to rename the new folder to 'Storage Card.bak'. It will appear that no change has occurred at this point. Reboot device.

Your Storage Card should return to normal. Please retain the extra 'Storage Card' folder.

You can now sync email and attachments to your storage card.

Has anybody succeeded withthis ? I've tried a number of tweaks but never managed to avoid the renaming of storage card to storage card 2 with the unpleasant result of having all programs installed not working.
