Questions on T-Mobile USA HD2 (Pictures, Videos & Organization) - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Windows Mobile OS and had a few questions on it. I just picked up an HTC HD2 and I am LOVING this guy more and more since I found this site. I had a lot of fun customizing my iPhone, but I've been having a little trouble with my HD2. Here is what I was looking for:
1. Whenever I look into the Photos & Videos every photo and video on the device is show in the album. Is there a way to hide certain photos or folders so they don't show?
2. I have a set of videos I placed into one folder. Whenever I look into the folder, the videos all show as thumbnails. Is there a way to set it so I see the names of the videos and not the thumbs?
3. The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. When I click Start, it has a Transformers icon that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format. I found the Transformers.exe in the windows folder. Is there a way to create your own? (Kinda the same as question 2)
4. Can the "honeycomb" menu that shows when you click start, have the icons moved around freely? The only thing I've found is you hold an icon and you get the option to "Move to Top". I want to move them anywhere and not have to keep moving everything to top if I want something on the third row from the bottom.
Sorry for the long winded questions... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi. New here, have some questions about ThrottleLauncher & Touchflow

Hi all.
Kind of new to this all, and just fumbling my way through everything.
I have ThrottleLauncher loaded on my AT&T Tilt, along with Touchflow3d (and TFlow3D_gullum)
And after seeing the youtube clip on the .9 beta and what it can do, I am finding that I cannot get my phone to really respond in all the ways that I'm seeing in the video. Maybe Im missing some plugins or something else, but here are some questions:
First is the main toolbar at the bottom. Whenever I touch it and want to slide it around to get to specific icons, it doesnt really rotate, it just kind of slides a bit and then activates something. I'm not able to scroll around on it unless I use the directional pad on the phone. Also, is it possible to 'replace' programs that launch with the icons? For example, instead of the Phone's contacts launching, can I get it to launch my 'Good' software contact list? Or with the music player, I am using FlipSlide. Can the music icon be reset to launch Flipside instead of the windows media player?
Can those icons on the bottom be put in any specific order?
I also see in the .9 beta video, that you can flip the middle of the screen by the clock to see different clock views or appointments, etc... Not sure which version or theme that is.
I guess my biggest question is how do I get the bottom toolbar to actually scroll instead of activating things, and can that bottom bar be customized to point to other apps?
Thanks.

How to make CorePlayer open a file Full Screen from a Shortcut?

I've tried searching for this to no avail. Please point me in the right direction if this is not the right place to post this too: I'm trying to make a .asx file open straight from my list of programs with CorePlayer in full screen on my TP. 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!

OK - found somewhere else to post this. Please remove this one.

Windows 6.5 Help

I've been searching topics for a while, but I decided it'd be easier this way.
1. Can I change the start menu? Do we have that ability yet? It's extremely annoying.
2. How do I change the taskbar icons? I've looked through many taskbar topics, but I can't find a good answer. I did find one very large topic with a bunch of pictures, but that just scared me haha.
3. How do I change the Touchflo background?
(The two questions above were inspired by this http://www.mobilematt.net/NRGZ28/EnergyROM/New Chapter/Screenshots/Portrait.png)
4.Any clue where I can find a compatible Opera Browser? This IE isn't cutting it. At all.
5. Speaking of programs, do we have a list of programs that are compatible with 6.5 yet? Does the Youtube App work? Mine doesn't, it displays a tiny box in the corner of the Youtube app.
6. WOW IT'S FAST

how too add shortcut link on sense UI home screen?

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.

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

[Q] moving icons in the home screen WM 6.5 raphael

hi, as stated in the question; can i move around the icons in the screen or move them to folders.. for e.g i would like to move the skype which is found in the main home screen to connectivity folder.. is it possible? if so how.
effort would be much appreciated
thank you
Sure you can.
If you use Total Commander or File Explorer, and open up the Windowsfolder on
your phone, scroll down to the Start menu folder, open it, then open
Programs folder, there you will find Skype -->Highlight it
then Menu -->Edit-->Cut
and Past it in the folder you want it in.
sweet thx mate.
Ahhhh finally...
was too lazy to search for this.
but after a new rom I thought "It's time"
thnx!
