Just recieved my new HD2 a few days ago.
Almost immideatly I realized that I've been tricked into buying a useless piece of plastic!!!
NO JAWBREAKER GAME!!!!
This is nothing short of a disaster. I've been a jawbreaker addict since I bought my first wimo phone 6 years ago (hp ipaq hw6115).
Is there a place I can download the original jawbreaker game (googling this only gave em a bunch of unattractive clones)?
It should be there. On my HD2 there was no Jawbreaker in the games option but i found it hiding in Windows through file explorer. Note that the name has changed to bubble breaker.

Good find. I was kind of unpleased with it not being there too, but it was definitely NOT going to make me not want this device.
Now how can I put it where it should be---------> in the games category? This is the US release, if it matters.

Go into the Windows directory and touch and hold the bubble breaker icon
when the option window opens click "Copy".... go find the games folder and touch and hold anywhere in the folder and click "Paste shortcut" when the options list opens.
Now you have a shortcut to the game in your games folder.....

Thanks. Worked for me. Note that the Games folder does not jump out at you;
once the bubble breaker short cut is located (under Windows waaaaaay down the list)
1: Tap and hold
2: Select copy
3: Go waaaay back up to Start menu Folder/Programs/Games
4: Tap and hold on any white area of the screen
5: Select paste
hope this helps others with this issue

I want to be able to select my video and music from the today screen . Is there a way I can put a short cut there ?
At the moment I have to select start,pictures & videos,my docs, videos and scroll to the file I want to play.
Maybe I need to install a jukebox or something huh?
You need either a launcher (like iLauncher) today plug-in or something like WisBar Advanced 2 & WA Desktop.
equally you can use PHMTrayLaunch to do this...
There're many Today launchers. Please check out my review of iLauncher ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=561&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) and the links back to my earlier reviews. I've thoroughly compared most available solutions; based on these reviews, you'll be able to choose the best for you.

Personally, I like wm5newmenu.

How do I install this ?
presumably I unzip it first on the PC and then transfer all the files to a folder (which one) on the wizard and run the exe file from there ??
could you spell it out for dumbo here please
pretty straight forward really.....download----unzip----place application somewhere on you device----launch it----place a checkmark in "Enable TrayLaunch".
Once you have that done click on Add and make shortcuts to whatever you want....i.e. a shortcut to PIE might be like this \Windows\InternetExplorer.lnk or a shortcut to the Midlet Java Manager would be something like \Windows\jmm.exe
Personally I have the PHMTrayLaunch stored in the \Windows directory then I created a shortcut to it in PHMTrayLaunch so I can call it easily...

Email : MENU/Select Messages/SEVERAL : just tap those mesages you want
For files mangement, the builtin File explorer is too basic : highly recommend you use Resco Explorer
I have same problem - I dont have any idea how to select more files in file exprorer...I had no problems with my prevoius touch screen phone...now I can only select one...
You can select multiple files in file explorer if there aren't more files than fit on the screen - tap the first file you want and drag your finger across the group you want to select. Works like windows shift+click, can't do ctrl+click. I haven't worked out any way to do it if there are more files - then the dragging just scrolls. This is a pretty huge shortcoming I would say. Especially considering this is a multi-touch device and therefore has a lot more possible combinations than just tap, hold or drag.
While in the file click on menu>click edit> click select all> then click menu again and select copy.....
Select all is great for some things, but not if you want to keep some messages/files.
Any updates on this? This is seriously a time-earn issue =)

there are several solutions from file explorer extender programs (can cause freezes occasionally) to paid file explorers to total commander.

Oh, Total Commander never came in mind, shame..
Thanks a lot!
I read in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
that you can enable some hidden games, and I really like those games but I can't seem to enable them! can anyone get me on the right track?
You need to give more of a clue as to what part you are finding difficult!
If you go to file explorer you should be able to browse to the windows directory on your device and then copy the games you are after using a long insert on the screen.
Navigate to the startmenu folder and then long insert on the screen and select paste as shortcut and all shoul be well.
Hope this helps.

You should have asked in that thread. Its a case of browsing to the .exe in the windows folder. Long press on it then copy. Go to \windows\start menu\programs\games. long press in blank spave and paste shortcut.
read the hints and tips thread. The very first tip tells you how to get them showing in the games folder
mmmm i was just about to say a similar thing...
To ask in the other thread didn't seem appropriate for some reason...
ah, sorry, I see it now.
1 more question though... I found the files, and I made quick links to them, somewhere easily reachable in the finder. how can I get my phone to see those files in the games-directory? to put it another way: when I hit the 'games' button in the start-menu, I want to see those 2 games too... any pointers?
copy the quick links into
Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
and there you go
you need to use a program like resco file manager or total commander and change the file properties to unhide them, so they will appear in the games folder, otherwise they will be in the folder but hidden.
1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.
I have done all that but games still do not show in PROGRAMS.Did i miss something?
heh, i'll be honest, I never got that 'tip' to work either, but many people have so i guess it must be true....

Try copying the .ink files (solitaire.Ink & BubbleBreaker.Ink) from My Device/Windows in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games. After that you should be able to see the games in the games tab (from Manila- Start/Games).
what on earth is Manila?
After copying the files in the way i told you, go to your home screen and pres Start then Games. I guess you know this: in order to be able to see this files in Windows director you must unhide them ( in file explorer pres menu then ''Show All Files'')

Manila is the interface you see on your HD2. It more or less successfully covers the Windows Mobile underneath.
I didn't have any problem with this tip. I did the following:
1. Run Start/file Explorer
2. Go to My device/Windows folder
3. Press slider and drag it down to "B". Find Bubblebreaker.exe
There are four files with that name. Find the largest one./Press and hold on it to bring up the menu. / Press "Copy".
4. Go to My device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
5. Press and hold anywhere to bring out menu. / press "paste as shortcut".
6. Repeat the same with "Solitare".
It should work now.
Thanks my friend.I have got it.
I deleted the following shortcuts "Transformers", "MobiTV", "Market Place" and "YouTube" from Windows/Start Menu/Program, thinking they were redundant since they were already on the home screen. But while the icons are still on the home screen, I can't get to the four programs by tapping on the icons; instead, I got the error message about "Shortcut Target" saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
I was able to find the "MobiTV" and "Transformers" folders, but I could not create shortcuts from the .exe files since the "Create shortcut" was gray and did not respond to taps. My questions are: (1) How do I re-create those four shortcuts that would make the icons on the home screen work again? and more generally, (2) How do I create shortcuts (gray-colored) for any .exe files? Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.
I know that the "Total Commander" app let's you create links where File Explorer doesn't, but I've never actually messed with that part of the app very often.
Tons of folks are complaining about the movie icon, as far as I know no one has found a way to fix it once you break it
You got it the wrong way round.
First, click on "Copy" option for the exe file that you wish to make a shortcut.
Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, click on "Menu", the option "Paste shortcut" should be available now.
Re-created shortcut for MobiTV, but not for the other three
After seeing your answer, I realized I should have performed them on my HD2, instead of on my synced desktop PC! As long it is a .exe file, a shortcut can always be created for it on Windows program page by using the method you described. Thanks Zentury!
However, I could only recover (re-create) the shortcut for MobiTV since it is a single .exe file. I could not even find where the .exe files are for YouTube and Market Place to re-create the shortcuts for them... As for Transformers, since it is a folder with two .exe files, I could only create shortcuts for each of the two separately on Windows program page, and the icon on the home screen still does not work. Any ideas?

As for the Transformer Shortcuts use the cab posted, The other exe your looking for are in the windows folder on the phone. You Could always reinstall marketplace, for that shortcut.
Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?
I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?! In Market Place folder, there is only one tiny file called ClientLog0 (263B); and in YouTube folder, there are four folders and hundreds jpeg files.... I did the search on my desktop PC for files in HD2 and know there is one YouTube.exc but don't know which specific folder it is in... Without getting to these .exe files, I don't know how to restore/reinstall the shortcuts for them. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

it doesnt matter where you copy the cab file do as long as you know where it is, once it is on the device use the file explorer to find it and run it. Try this cab for the other 2 link files
I tried the Transformers.cab on my Device but failed to install because of "not sufficient system permissions". Earlier, I found Transformers.lnk in Device Windows and paste it on Windows/Start Menu/Program. Tapping on the home screen Transformer button will take me to the two Transformers movies, but I lost the nice Transformers icon on the home screen; instead, I only got the boring old Windows icon in its place. How do I get the nice Transformers icon back on the home screen?
I got YouTube shortcut back to work OK now, but Marketplace shortcut still does not work. The .cab file for Marketplace installed without any error message ("successfully installed on your device") and the Marketplace icon stays on the home screen, but tapping on it does not take me to its web page. Can you suggest anything I can try? Thanks again.

I would just reinstall the marketplace cab and that should fix it. Not real sure on the icon.
I reinstalled the Marketplace.cab file a few times on my Device, still no luck - tapping on its icon on the home screen won't point to the right web page, only the same error message... The strange thing to me is there seems no .exe file for Marketplace on the device, so ... how did it ever get started?

Hi, just catching up with the latest on your problem resolution. (Note: I'm on the other side of the ocean.)
I took a look at the contents of Marketplace.lnk on my HD2 and the file location is "\Windows\WMMarketplace.exe".
Thank for taking the time to look it up - now I know why I couldn't find its .exe file on the device: it's WMMarketplace.exe, not just Marketplace.exe! Next time when I do the "search", I will use the wild card symbol * in the search string. Some valuable lesson learned!
Anyway, the shortcut problem for Marketplace was solved last night after I found another Marketplace.cab (116kB) provide by zelendel in another earlier xda forum thread. The youtube & marketplace.cab file I've been using and did not work is only about 2kB in size so apparently was not a good .cab file.
The only remaining "missing shortcut" problem I have is now changed to "missing icon" for Transformers on the home screen. The two Transformers.cab files I got from the xda forum all have the error message "not sufficient system permissions" when I tried to install them. Since the installations were "unsuccessful", the ugly blank-look icon in place for Transformers on the home screen still keeps staring back at me ...
Anyone got a Transformers.cab to share that would not cause the "unsuccessful" verdict and would restore the nifty Transformers icon on the home screen? Thanks!
Ive just downloaded that Transformers cab thinking it was going to the movie file or some funky robotic program and all i got was a shortcut leading to nothing??
Hmm, now how the hell do i remove it? Ive deleted the cab file but the shortcut is still visible on the start menu.

You probably aren't running the Tmo ROM, right? The transformers link only opens up the player for the movies that are provided to tmo owners on the included 16GB SD card...so all you did was indeed install a "link to nowhere".
You'll need to navigate to /windows/start menu on the phone, and delete the "transformers.lnk" file there.
there is an app on freewarepocketpc.net called "LnkMgr", that you can use to create shortcuts ...
works ok ..
