Hi there,
I would like to find out how can I put the album photos of the music that I had into the Diamond2 music play, so i won't get a boring standard icon to show for all my music.

Also had problems with this and there are a few good guides out there. The easiest solution is to name the album cover "folder.jpg" and then put it in the music folder of that certain album:
Music\Bruce Springsteen\Folder.jpg
Music\REM\Folder.jpg

I did the similar thing, but the album photo also doesn't want to show up
There's a little trick to this;
After you put the Folder.jpg in each Artist- (or Album-)directory, go to Settings - More - Personal - Today - Items and remove the mark for TouchFLO 3D.
Soft Reset the phone.
Delete the file \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager...\AudioManager_Eng.
Reactivate TouchFlo 3D (reverse from first bullet)
Go to Music, wait for search to finish, Presto!

Thanks Bro, it work!
Another question, can I exclude some folders or just want the audio manager to search in the folder called "My Music"?
Asking that because I create another folder called "My Ringtone" and I don't want the Audio Manager to look into that folder, as normal, a ringtone is just a mp3 which abt 30s long, so it is very irretating to have it listed in the Audio Manager.

Hi 2 all, I have more simple decision for this trouble (without any soft reset or TouchFlo removing): just rename album_cover.jpg in Album dir to hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg and you will see the changes immediatley - I have ~90 album folders and its really work for me

I've tried searching for this to no avail. I know this isn't amazingly techie but still suited to this forum section I think: I'm trying to make a .asx file open straight from my list of programs with CorePlayer in full screen on my Touch Pro. I basically have a stream of the BBC News headlines and would like a neat little icon in the programs list which plays them straight out full screen.
There's three things I'd like to do but can't seem to get it working (in order of priority):
1. Shortcut the .asx file to open in Coreplayer - I've tried "\Storage Card\Core Player\player.exe" -"BBC Headlines.asx" and a few other variations but this doesn't seem to work
2. When Coreplayer opens I'd like a switch of some kind in the shortcut to make it go full screen straight away (something like -fullscreen or -full or something I'm guessing)
3. I'd then like the icon to change from the Coreplayer icon to one of my own - say the BBC icon. How do I change a shortcut's icon?
I could use WMP but I much prefer Coreplayer's fullscreen rendering and it seems to open a bit quicker. If WMP is my only option then so be it. Both 2. and 3. still apply.
If I can get this working I'll make a batch of streams with their own icons etc and attach them here for everyone. I've found some neat live TV streams also that would be good to use this with. But mostly having a very quick icon in the list of programs which just spews out the headlines in video would be nice!
Thanks for any help!

use search button, use RESOURCE HACKER to change icons
Thanks for the info. Will check Res Hacker out.
Have searched but struggling. Are there fullscreen / file open parameters available for core player even?
LLOYDY
...................................
try too use cab file. Path storage card/programm files, then you can see coreplayer.If you put file only too storage card dosent work, coreplayer needs device memory,then you can see coreplayer too works. And just click your screen and fullscreen open.hmmm or go to settings man and you find solution... this is unless what do you mean? full screen movies?
No sorry this isn't what I was looking for. I've got Core Player installed fine. I need it to open a file full screen from a shortcut.
Thanks anyway,
LLOYDY
associate .asx files with TCPMP: 'Options/settings/select page/file associations'.
Set TCPMP to open full screen: 'Options/settings/select page/player'
your custom icon must be contained in a .DLL or .EXE file
create a shortcut to your file in a text editor:
63#"\path\file.asx"?\path\icon.exe,0
this should get you started.
I can't help you with the icon for the file part (I'm guessing that's easily solvable though), but doesn't CorePlayer have an option for "Play at open in fullscreen" in the Menu > Tools > Preferences > Player option screen? That seems to work just fine for mine, if I launch a video file from file explorer it opens in CorePlayer and beings to play at full screen.
Sorry for the late reply guys. Excellent info. I'll get round to making a collection of feeds when I get chance.
Cheers!

Hey I tried the icon shortcut, I can't seem to make it work. I put an icon inside a .dll, called it iPodIcon.dll, and I get this:
File not found!
\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
Here is my shortcut:
56#"\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
HOLD ON...forgot the question mark thingy.
Changed it to:
57#"\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"?\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
And it works with a nice iPod icon I found from IconLook.com
It still showed up as "Core" on my homescreen until I did a powercycle.
Thanks!
PS - I will post the .dll if anyone is interested.
I finally thought I'd jump on the M2D bandwagon and see what all the excitement is about.
OK, I'm excited. But also frustrated. I've poked around in the hundreds upon hundreds of posts, but I just can't seem to find some instructions to do some pretty basic things, such as:
Identify which music player to use
Find my music files on my SD card
Identify which Photo Viewer I want to use
Specify Farenheit in Weather
Remove/Replace an application, contact
Add more than one city to Weather
So, before I invest too much time in this, can someone help me out on how to go about this? I'm perfectly willing to edit XML files or whatever to do it, I just don't know what files to edit.
Thanks!
AJ
Identify which music player to use
htc audio manager is the default music player that m2d uses.
Find my music files on my SD card
everytime u load the audio manager it automatically searches for new files (off main and sd). and makes them available.
Identify which Photo Viewer I want to use
htc album is default and works pretty well.
Specify Farenheit in Weather
go to weather tab click on menu.. click settings and select farenheit.
the controlling xml for m2d is called htchomesettings.xml and a detailed break down of this xml file is available in the dev and hacking forum by ababraker.
hope this helps.
or you can use the M2DC to edit the homesettings.xml
here are some M2D Modding tools :

Thanks. That did help a lot. I'm discovering that there are a lot of things to install besides M2D Like audio manager. It's better than WMP, but doesn't really hold a candle to S2P, and I'd like to configure that as my default music player.
HTC Album is kind of in the same boat. Not really as good as S2V, and I haven't yet figured out how to make Album see photos other than in the \Pictures folder. Maybe there's a way.
But at least I got weather working for me
AJ
for anyone who is intrested check this thread
now that i can carry thousands of my photos with me (8GB SD)
i realize that HTC Album gets crowded with sub-folders/albums
most are sub-folders with my photos and i guess i have to live with that
but also some system and miscellaneous folders show up
simply put a lot of finger scrolling
is there a way to hide / ignore certain sub-folders from HTC Album?

Here is a cab version of HTC album that gives you the option of what folder you view everytime you open it! You can just install it over the one you have! I dont know if this is what you had in mind, but hope it helps!

i appreciate your response, i did know about setting a default start-up album
but even when a default is set when you select to browse to a different folder
you get a list full of unrelated/un-wanted folders
especially any folder with images on the \storage card
\windows and \program files do not show up,
so i was wondering how to hide others that i may not want to see listed
First off sorry for posting this here, It should probably be in the general section but the only people who seem to surf that section are people complaining about their leo.
So anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to do this, because I like my music to look nice and clean and tidy, however when Im ending up with little 3 seconds songs from an unknown artist called 01 , these will be all the sounds from the program files. I really want to remove them from my artist/all songs/album views.
Any ideas how?
I'd also like to know how to do this. It would be great to keep the htc music player just for music. Currently, it's cluttered with podcasts.
Maybe you can try to change the pad only to your music pad:

Well would that make any difference, because if thats the original path (my documents) then obviously it doesnt make any difference as my music player seems to take music from all over my phone
Thanks though

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
this worked as well using total commander.
don't get it!
if i "hide" it the folder will be also hidden for choosing the ringtones so yes, no more ringtones on the music tab but also you'll not find them when you'll want to designate the rings to notifications....
the best way is to make HTC album ignore some folders. Do the following:
Go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignore
and add a sting value with a name (choose whatever you want) and string (here you put the location of a particular folder)
So if I want HTC album to ignore My Music folder on my Storage card, I will add a new string value: name-My Music and string-\Storage Card\My Music
and of course soft-reset after that

this sound much better (pun intended) . i'll give it a try.
an interesting fact: if i am on the music tab in portrait mode i see all the unwanted files (even sound files from my navigation program) but if i am looking in landscape mode i see only the music files. strange...

Finally searched al posts, couldn't find the right answer, tried every trick but no succes and didn't want to hide my ringtones folder.....

Each folder you want to exclude needs a STRING and a DWORD
The number in above example (_0) is the number of the "folder set" if there's already a number just add 1.
The DWORD 1 means device 0 for storage card
For example if i'll add another one:
folder on device "\My Documents\Recordings"
ADD new STRING
"sd_exclude_path_path_1"="\My Documents\Recordings"
ADD new DWORD
"sd_exclude_path_type_1"=dword:00000001
Restart device (soft reset), no need to hide any folders
I couldn't get it to work I installed a game in memory card but the sound files are coming up in HTC music player. Can someone explain to me in detail how not to have music player detect these files? BTW, I have resco explorer installed. Thank you.

i used to have my rings in my SD under my Documents. moving them under a separate folder on SD or on SD under My Documents make them undiscoverable by the system for use as ringtones and notifications but i still can see them in the Album tab.
also, i am still curious why if i am on the music tab in portrait mode i see all the unwanted files (even sound files from my navigation program) but if i am looking in landscape mode i see only the music files.

For all who don't want to mess with there registry, resco works!. Just go into resco explorer, find the folder, long press it, properties, dark check hidden, soft reset......... And all those files not wanted are hidden and not in your album anymore. yes all my ringtones are there. Just hide the folders you dont want to showup in your sense album/music tab.

Hi,
Just got my hd2 (tmobile) day before yesterday and its amazing, i can go on and on about it
on my previous winMo device i had spb mobile shell installed which allowed me to add a shortcut tab "my shortcuts" on the home screen clicking on which would open a window where i could have my favorite programs, contacts, docs etc in one place.
is this possible to do this on the home screen of sense UI, where there are 9 customizable tabs present or is it possible to put a shortcut of any folder on the home screen.
i ask this question because one of tabs on the home screen has a transformers icon on it, and clicking it takes me to the transformers folder on the sd card which has transformers 1 and 2. this same transformers icon/shortcut is also present in programs menu.
i added some mp4 files in the transformers folder on the sd card which has both movies and after doing that when i click on its icon it does direct me to its folder but only shows me the 2 movies not the added mp4 movies.
i hope iam able to explain myself
having a shortcut tab on the home screen which can add a shortcut to a folder would be very helping other than just having the stock program, bookmark, contact options.
thanks in advance.

Touch and hold over an Icon, and drag it off the screen to delete it. Tap to add a new shortcut.
Look into Cookies Home Tab editor to add more shortcuts
Explore folders, find and select program file and hold it, tap copy, now explore windows folder-startmenu- programs- edit- paste shortcut, done. Now you can add it to quick links. If I understand you right.

i have a couple of movies in my storage card and i would like to have an icon on my device to each movie on my storage card, that way i can put them in my quick links ,
The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. it has a Transformers icon in the start menu that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format located in the storage card . Is there a way to create your own?

i had to return mine today at the store because it had a small spot inside the screen, maybe a dead pixel, giving the same affect as you would see when you would sprinkle a drop of water on LCD.
the store reps. were acting up for a replacement saying that even when they get new onces they have already reserved them for new customers, also the tmobile (611) rep told me they would be able to help me had i purchased the phone online
so i returned it
