You know what I actually just made a shortcut of the movie and copied it to the multimedia folder in my start menu and then used JWMD Icon Changer to change the icon to the one I created and problem solved. Clicking it starts the movie just like the Transformers Shortcut does. Is that essentially what following this method is?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yeah pretty much. The only reason I detailed it out that way was the JMWD doesnt always seem to work for everyone. Glad you got it to work
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
Sweet, thanks for providing the info, I may set up the reg though so that I can have it created and done during XDA_UC for a new flash.

But I would not have thought of doing that for my movies until this thread lol. I always figured it would be more complicated.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
found this little app that might be a better alternative for some. I haven't tested it out much yet so use at your own risk:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520604

run the cab file, then open the program, it doesn't scroll so you will have to use the arrow buttons in the cab. Point it to your media folder, for me that was storage card (which it defaults to), My Documents, My Videos). then click the left soft key (settings) and click on make startup folder.

Then anytime you click on the app, it opens straight to your video folder. C

Click on a movie and press open (or double press on the movie) and it starts playing in the htc video player. Press stop on the movie and it goes to a blank screen, press back and you are back to your movie list.

I tried to resume a movie but that froze my phone.

The reason I am trying this is that my wife and file explorer do not get along so if I can find a way for her to access her movies easily, all of us will benefit. If this app seems to buggy then I guess I can do it your way. Great idea.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I'm wondering if by using mortscript you can create shortcuts for files, that might be a good idea. Esp if you can create a movie folder in your multimedia folder that is just for movies. Time to play with mortscript.
[HD2 General] :
Or you could just create a shortcut lnk with the following contents

35#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\Movies

So it just opens file explorer in that folder, this also works with resco, you just have to substitute the resco path and exe for fexplore.exe, just remember that the number before the "#" is the number of characters after the "#", this includes spaces.

So for instance "fexplore.exe" would be 14#"fexplore.exe"

Once you have the shortcut in your start menu, you can of course change the icon with your favorite icon changer ...

EDIT:

Alternatively if you were to say create a lnk with the info below it would open the movie.mp4 in whatever it's default program is

45#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\Movies\movie.mp4

EDIT2:

Attached is a zip with a Movies.lnk, unzip it drop it in your \windows\start menu\programs it will then show up in cht to create quicklinks if you like.

Of course with this example you have to have a folder on your storage card called Movies, but you can edit it as I said above to make it a link straight to a file.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
you've confused me a bit, anyway you can help out a fellow ord member and make a .zip with the link going to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Videos?

please???
[HD2 General] :
Here ya go

51#"fexplore.exe" \Storage Card\My Documents\My Videos

Of course you can use JWMD or any icon changer to change the icon of the shortcut ...
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
thanks watcher.

works perfectly.

No prob ....
[HD2 General] Dave Trouser:
I'm having trouble with the calendar. I've been using a custom ROM for a while now (OzROM), and I only just realised that I've only ever been seeing the Windows Mobile calendar. It was only when I installed the latest OzROM (3.40) that I happened to open the calendar before restoring my contact backups and usual apps.

I thought nothing of it, and went about setting up Cookie's Home Tab with my usual shortcuts etc. After doing this, I noticed that tapping on the calendar/appointments on the homescreen now did nothing at all, despite not changing the application settings in CHTEdit.

The calendar on the homescreen tabs at the bottom is unaffected by this and still shows the HTC calendar, however, I tend not to have that turned on.

I then used CHTEdit to try and restore the homescreen calendar/appointments to run the HTC calendar, but only the Windows one is selectable - restoring the default simply makes it not work again (nothing happens when tapping the calendar summary on the homescreen).

My question is: Does anyone know what exe the HTC calendar uses (if any), and where is it? If I can create a start menu shortcut to it, then I can select it as the calendar application in CHTEdit.

I want the nice black useable calendar back! :confused:

[HD2 General] Dave Trouser:

[HD2 General] mihals1:
+2....... :o
[HD2 General] xdachique:
i had same but i fixed it.

Before it happened , i have made several changes :

i made mistake and used 2 differents BG4all cabs and the cab for showing 28days in calendar

i undid cabs and put the backup of the manila for agenda

and all was fixed

i can send the french manila file if you want it.
[HD2 General] mihals1:
what I'd like to have is to use HTC Calendar in Today screen as I don't use Sense at all. is there any HTC Calendar ripoff? thanx for any info! :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
The HTC calendar is part of manila, so if you don't run Sense then you can't use it. You also lose it if you do run Sense but you turn the tab off.

AFAIK there's no way to run a manila tab that you have disabled.

Sorry mate.
[HD2 General] mihals1:
that's quite a shame... HTC Calendar is great looking and much usefull than the WM Calendar... well, I can live with that :D

Thanx for the info anyway :)
[HD2 General] Dave Trouser:
Ah, yes I see. Works as long as the tab is on. I guess I can live with that. Thanks for the explanation!
[HD2 General] Archer:
You're welcome. It is a shame though, as the HTC calendar looks like a supermodel next to the MS one.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
pardon my ignorance here, but is there a cab of any sorts to install the HTC calander.?
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
just so you are aware, i am running sense, and i can get the HTC calender whan i click on the quick link at the bottom and when i tap on the date in the middle but when i click on an appointment it brings up the ugly WM Calendar.

Any idea?
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
i have some how with some fiddling about with CHTE managed to sort this

dont ask me how :-p
[HD2 General] slingster:
I just ugraded my HD2 to the latest stock ROM from Tmobile and the appointment calendar is now better than the HTC calendar, and of course way better than the WM calendar in the previous ROM. I did not use any tweaks or cooked ROMs. I sync my outlook (Email, calendar, & contacts) with MS Exchanger server at work so I don't know it that has anything to do with the new & improved calendar look.
[HD2 General] Sjefferman:
i don't know if it's still an actual issue, but with my HD2 (1.66 dutch rom) i managed to get the HTC Sense calendar just by selecting "default" in the applications menu for calendar.

I'm using CHT 1.8.5.1 now and i had the same problem, i selected the calendar icon in the program list to set a program for CHT calendar but i just found out that it's not needed at all. just press default and it should be ok :)

at least, with my HD2... i think it's important to switch on the calendar tab of HTC sense, so CHT can "find" this program as default application for calendar items on the homescreen.

i hope this works for all the people who have the same problem and don't like the ugly standard WM calendar.

regards from holland!
[Desire General] panos123:
Had mine for about three weeks now.

Recently noticed that the nice soft texture effect has started to wear off at certain areas of the battery cover.

Almost like a rectangular shine where the dimensions change.

Looks nasty and doesn't feel great any more.

Just searched and doesn't seem a common fault with anyone here.

Although a replacement seems to be only £15, should i contact retailer? Or put it down to overuse? Or could it be the fault of my pDair leather pouch?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimoussa:
Ok I'll make it short My T-Mobile G1 boot normally I get the logos screen G1 & T-mobile then... nothing; the screen either stay on back light or if I remove the battery & restart the phone shows the logos & all & then a white screen with some random colored red all over the screen.

Please guys I need your help in this matter & thunk you in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan-htc-touch:
you need to tell us what you did to get to that point... did you just flash some firmware? battery ran out while running.... any number of things could be the issue, a little history on the phone would be helpfull indeed
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
In fact, we CAN'T help you without those details. Anything we "guessed" might be the problem, and provided you a solution for, could make the problem worse, possibly even brick your phone, if we don't know the details of how you got where you are.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bugmenever:
For, you know, when the zombies come? lol

It would be nice to have something that would spit out your current location. Even if the map isn't very detailed at all... is there anything?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
So far as I know all the free software uses the internet to download the maps. You could buy gps software. Iguidance 2009 is one, garmin makes another. None of them free, of course.

If you just want your location, there are utilities that will show your lat/long, but not with a map. My NRG ROM includes one such program.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lanroth:
Take a look at MapDroyd.

It uses the OpenStreetMap database. You download maps you're interested in and then access them later while you're offline.

Cheers,

If you actually want a full fledged GPS, I have tried most of the free ones and found them to all be complex to configure, inaccurate, and with horrible user interfaces. I have tried most of the for pay ones, and consider CoPilot Live to be the best value for the money. At $30 U.S. it is one of the cheapest commercial GPS apps I have seen. I find it to be very easy to use, and the maps have been accurate everywhere I have used it in the U.S. It functions perfectly fine without internet access, but can use internet connectivity to get updated maps, search for points of interest, and in some areas it can even get traffic updates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] palatkik:
Oziexplorer works for me. Can download any internet map or scan your own. Doesn't need internet to run. I use it a lot in the bush where there is no phone signal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nhokynhok:
iGO8 work pretty well on TP2, not free but if you look hard enough...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
Not sure why you think that.

It needs a network connection to download the maps and to calculate the route. If you lose the conenction, it can continue to provide the route that was downloaded temporarily. But if you get off of the route, it is of no help until the network reconnects.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] w8asa:
+1 on CoPilot Live. I use it a lot, and like the interface and turn instructions. Around New Years, they had a special offering for $19.95, which I think I learned about on XDA-Dev, and I scooped it up right away. It works with or without an internet connection. I recently used in on a ferry from Long Beach CA to Santa Catalina island, and it even knew I was on the ferry because of its route.

TomTom works without an internet connection, but is more expensive. I have it also on my TP2, along with a local map they once offered as a free trial, but they don't offer it any more, and even told me that TT7 isn't yet available in the US for the TP2, even though I downloaded it from their site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RandyWatson:
NaviComputer

This program is the way forward!

Basically a GPS map without the map. it provides another PC based program that downloads OpenMap - you customise what you want and to what zoom level you want and it creates the map for your storage card. This amazed me when i actually tried it.

I spent weeks hunting and trying different programs:

I purchased TomTom a year ago and i use this in the car in the UK, but a few months ago i was heading for a 2 week hol in Cuba (crazy place) and planned to drive all over the island so was desperate for an offline map knowing that there would either be no 3G connection or it would cost an arm and a leg (the former proved to be the case).

I created a map of nearly the whole of cuba at full zoom level and it came in at under 75mb. :eek: Full (offline) GPS whever i went.

So, TomTom for the car, google maps for on foot, and this badboy (now with a full offline map of London) for when i cant get a signal (ie on the underground) and i want to know which way to go when i get to the surface.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
There are only 2 GPS Navigation softwares that I have tried that offer full turn-by-turn navigation without the need to connect to the internet and those are iGO8 and iGO Primo. Everything else and I mean EVERYTHING that I've tried besides the two differnet iGO programs require a data connection whether it be for AGPS or to access some kind online service the program offers such as Garmin Online.

I recommend buying iGO8 and giving that a shot. It works extremely well on both my Touch Pro2 and my HD2 without any real issue. The only downside to it is that it doesn't have working TTS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sukru:
+1 more for Co-Pilot

It's cheap, and it works. It's (mostly) professional, provides with very nice navigation routes (and fast too), with some small things to desire (voice alerts before turns are not always helpful, etc).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 3waygeek:
Nor does CoPilot Live, if you're willing to live without traffic info or AGPS. If you're in the States, CoPilot is really good about map updates -- they have monthly updates, and promise a 45-day turnaround on user-submitted updates (i.e. if you tell them a map's wrong, they'll issue an update within 45 days of their receiving the request).

NaviComputer

http://www.navicomputer.com

A great offline GPS app for WINMO.

Requires .NET latest version for mobile.

The GPS software is happy with whatever maps you can provide it with. I use OSM

OpenStreetMaps.

Able to save GPS tracks, to load tracks and has all the functions except of navigation aid.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Pantherx12:
Navi computer is good, although not very intuitive, first 2 times I downloaded it didn't download all the zoom detail I needed.

Seems in the desktop program you have to download first set of maps, manually zoom in and download more.

Unless anyone knows of a better way? I just want a complete UK map if anyone has a pre-compiled navicomputer map file? : ]
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esudl:
Hi,

On my wife's Xperia, she dropped it, which obviously didn't help, but it seems to have made it work strangely.

a) Pressing the power button does not turn the screen off, it just makes the screen dark however, in a dark room you can see it's still lit up faintly, so it drains the battery as though it's on all the time.

b) The LEDs when charging do not come on, however it is charging properly

c) When booting, the screen does nothing until you pull out the keyboard, then it comes on fine.

Any ideas, mainly it's point a) which is causing the problems. I've got insurance, so I can get it replaced, just didn't want to go through the hassle if there was a solution out there anyone can think of. Could something have got corrupted which is meaning it's not turning off the screen properly, which a hard-reset would help?

Cheers

Sorry if this a bit OT.

I'm off to Florida on Hol soon and need advice on which P&G sim to pick up when I'm there to stick in my HD2 (O2 prices for data are extortionate).

Calls not needed really but some included data allowance is a must.

What radio is best for Florida please and who offers the best speeds.. O2 offer free wifi zones for me, if a USA provider offers that mores the better. Finally, Preferably at the most reasonable price. Advice on where I'm likely to find said sim would be great.

Not a problem if it needs activating, my mate is going a fortnight before me and can pick me one up.

Thanks again for looking in.
[HD2 General] Ibb1982:
Hi

Did you have any joy with this?

If you did which sim did you go for?

I've just landed in the states, and would be good to have a local sim, your help will be really appreciated, thanks!
[HD2 General] kylesuo:
prepaid sim

Most prepaid sim's in the United States do not include data. The only option, which is expensive, for prepaid data in the states is AT&T. They do have a prepaid plan which is 20.00 for 100 MB of usage, available at any AT&T store.
