Would love to get one that I could set on a sceen to take me to the picture folder I want to view..
and or the folder where I have video's..
I want to use it for meetings.. so when I go in to one and show pictures of our production, I dont have to go in to Gallary and
let everyone see whats in there..
What would be perfect is a full screen of this widgets linking me to the sub-directries that I have setup with different artwork of different Clients..
I have been looking at different wiget programs but none have this ability as yet,well not that I have worked out..
Anyone found one or got any tips on this?

One option is to have a shortcut Folder set on your screen that launches a file manager and takes you directly to that folder.
The free app ES File Explorer will allow you to create a shortcut.
1. Install ES File Explorer.
2. Open the app and navigate to the folder you want to create as a shortcut.
3. Press & Hold on the folder, from the menu that pops up select 'Shortcut'.
4. Quit the app and when you go back to the last Home Screen you were on, providing there is enough space you will now notice a new icon with the title of the folder you selected.
From now on whenever you wish to show your clients the material simply click on the folder icon on your Home Screen and it will take you directly to ES File Explorer the folder with all the contents shown.
This last bit is important......
When you select the first item you will notice a small window will pop up asking you if you wish to choose ES File Explorer or the Gallery app to display your material... Choose ES File Explorer.
The reason is if you choose Gallery it will only display that one single item and you have to go back to ES File Explorer to show the next and so on....
By instead choosing ES File Explorer as the method to display the material it instead shows you not only the material but as the bottom you will also notice a small thumbnail of each of the pictures.
To display a different picture either swipe left/right or tap on the thumbnail.
Job done....
thanks Beards,
great advice..
I am using it plus Android picture frame.. that lets me set up 4 3x3 widgets that load into the file system as well..
plus yours.. gives me a neat screen of fast get too's for client visits..
which in my case can be up to 6-8 in a big day..

Hi.
Does somebody know how to move games icons to Games folder? (For example "Autumn Dynasty" or "Jumba")
I do indeed
using the file explorer on the phone (these folders dont show up in windows) find the game exe in my device>program files>"folder name of program">
It will be here, probably the icon will be the games icon. Now hold your finger down on that for a few seconds until an menu pops up and select copy.
Now go to mydevice>windows>startmenu>programs>games and hold your thumb down in an empty space until the menu comes up again, and press "paste shortcut"
If you dont get something just ask again
I take it you mean just moving the shortcut icons from the start menu in to the games folder of the start menu. If the icon already exists in the start menu then its pretty much the same as above just go with the file explorer to \windows\start menu\programs "cut" the icon and "paste it in to the games folder.
BTW you can view the windows folder on your pc. You need to connect your phone through active sync then go to "control panel" on your pc, then "folder options" then go to "view" tab and deselect the "hide protected operating system files" Then using phone browser you can view the contents of the windows folder. It is however painfully slow to open and you run the risk of screwing up your device if you go round deleting things but it works none the less.

What so on the home screen, one of the 3 tabs is a like to the games folder? I found one way using resco explorer. Browse to windows/startmenu/programs and then hold your finger on the games folder till you get the menu pop up, select send to> start menu as shortcut. Then go to add a program on the home links and go to programs (instead of bookmarks or contacts) and the games folder will be there, the image will be the resco explorer image with the word games underneath it
Hope that helps, took me ages to work it out lol
Here is a link i created using THIS app. If you copy it to your start menu somewhere (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.......) You can then assign it to the quick links. What it does is opens file explorer with arguements to take it to the games folder. Basically it opens file explorer in games folder of the start menu.
It does what resco does to create links but a bit more manual and its free.
Thanks! however the send to option is greyed out, not available.

Has someone found a solution for this? I can't believe that it is not possible to ad a quicklink to a folder as a shortcut on the home tab

You need to examine what this does...

Yes, it creates a shortcut to the games folder, but you can modify shortcuts and change the parameters. Just copy it to your PC and edit it.
Moving Icons Completely
Is it possible to move a games that I download to the game folder neat and clean (meaning without having a bunch of short cut to, short cut to, short cut to)?
To paste something in Explorer, you must scroll down to the bottom of the screen and then try to long tap the white space in between the last item in explorer and the black bar with the two soft keys.
I know that for my kaiser, there was a tweak available to make the 'Paste' item appear in any long press menu in explorer. This made it possible to paste an item even if you long pressed on another item.
I can't remember how this tweak was called. I searched a couple of times but I can't seem to find the right keywords.
Is this available for the HD2 and where can I find this tweak?
Help is greatly appreciated. I can't get my fat fingers in the small white space sometimes. Also comes in handy when drunk.

would be great
dont wanna install totalcommander, just want it with integrated one.
thanks,

Or you could just open the menu and select paste from there
(menu, edit, paste - you may need to scroll the menu to get to edit)
Hey thanks for the tip!
I sometimes don't notice these scrolling menu's. In coreplayer I also forget to scroll when I look for the Blank Screen option. Then I think the option is not there enymore

Yeah - the scrollbars on menus aren't really noticable. Ah well
Does anybody know if there is a way to mark multiple files in the explorer? just works for me as long as the folder has less files than a screen full. otherwise only scrolling works :-(

Very good Question! I have the same problem.
Has anyone an answer?
Please?
It's not possible in the default file explorer I'm afraid. You either want a 3rd party file explorer like total command or resco, or try the file explorer extension here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723
I'm not sure if it does actually give you the ability to multi-select, but it's worth a look anyway
@johncmolyneux
Thank you,
but it does not work for me.
Or i don´t know how.
Is here any developer, who can make that:
-you tab and hold any file in explorer
-after one second the file will be maked
-then you have another second to begin to drive your finger over the other files you want to mark
-after your finger stops, the box pops up, where you have the choice to copy, delete,...
Is it possible to program it ???
Excuse me for my english. I hope it is understandable.

The file explorer extensions only add to the existing functionality of the app. What you're asking for is a change to what's already there. You need to start looking at 3rd party apps. Resco Explorer is probably the most popular, but it's not free. Total Commander is another popular one, and that is free. Google can point you at both of them.
Good luck mate.
Hi,
Resco Explorer works.
ThankYou.
it still is a littlebit strange in file explorer. lets say you have 3 or 4 files in your folder then its easy to select all the files because the directory isn't scrolling, but when there are too many files to show on one (portrait) page then you can't select mutiple files because the page is now scrolling. strange...
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
Hi, how can I create a link to a specific folder on the desktop? I downloaded folder organizer as I thought it could do it but can't figure out a way, either with that or the default inbuilt shortcut options.
I'd like to know too.. How would I go about making a shortcut to some pdfs or some folders?
I use ES File Explorer and just tap and hold a file or folder then choose "Shortcut" from the pop-up menu to add it to a home page. Easy as pie.
No way, that was easy, ta.
Gooooooooooood morning :laugh:
How to create a shortcut to a Excel file? I have made a special excel sheet to calculate many thing (temperature conversion, tax, microsoft points, etc.).
The file is on the tablet, but I don't know how to create a shortcut into the tablet. Right now I need to open Polaris, browse for the file, open the file... What I want to do is only start the file from the "desktop" of the tablet in one click.
Possible or not?
Thanks alot!
On my Asus are installed: X-plore ( manager, excellent and free) and Go launcher Ex (ibidem). So in Go Launcher ex select Add, then Shortcut, Then Add Shortcut (with X-plore icon). The X-plore is opened and browse to your file. Check the file, (on the right side of the file is check mark) and then press OK from bottom right of the screen.
The easiest way is download es file manager, find the file you want, long press on it and choose shortcut. Then it'll be on your home screen.

I'm using ES File manager for a long time and don't know this feature!!! Woah!!! Thanks alot dude!!!
