Am I the only one that is annoyed that the programs I install on my Advantage feel the need to also clutter up my Start menu programs folder on my windows machine as well?
I installed the program on my device, I don't want any footprint of it on my desktop. Yet I find entries in my desktop start menu as well as the add/remove programs.
Any way to avoid this or just live with the fact I have to make sure to clean this out right after I install something new on my Advantage?

I try to use CAB files as long they are available. The problem is not all programs have that. Examples of this include microsoft voice commander. I wonder if there is an easy way to extract the cab out of all window install program. Anyone knows?

I have found success with some in checking the Temp directory of the PC when starting the install - the installation often extracts the cab to a new sub-dir there. An alternative is to try to install when the PPC is not connected - often a cab file is dumped to a sub-dir of C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync

This is great tips. I'll surely take a look at C:\program files\microsoft ActivSycn from now on. Is that only for XP? What about VISTA?

I found it in Vista. Most of the time, it is located at windows\windowsmobile\ directory.
You will find a directory name created by the PC installer. Go inside that, you will find the cab file.
In some cases, it does not go there. For example, microsoft voice command goes to Program files\Microsoft Voice Command\windows mobile pocket pc\us1.60 for M2M\
So, it is there alright, just got to find it.
Once found, copy it to your pocket pc manually. Next time you need to hard reset, you can do without PC all together. Also, now you can uninstall from the PC and keep your pc clean.
My current programinformation
operativsystemversion: 5.2.21869.
Manilaversion: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.66.413.2 (76641) SVE
IS the above old versions or new?
I have dowloaded some apps and other things for my HTC HD2.
Htc Flashlight, artemis, htc hd2 tweaks and apps, and more.
How do I install these apps and tweaks?
Where do I put them on the phone, in which folder?
How do I install them?
Do I have to update ROM or something else?
I have activesync on both my phone and pc.
I have no idea how to do, and the Q&A doesnt help. I know pretty much about windows pc use, but im a totally newb when it comes to mobilephones, I dont even know what manila, or ROM is :O
If they are cab files (ie *.cab), just save them to the device in any folder and "click" on them to install. (c0-y the files via USB or via microSD card)
You will be prompt to install either on device or microSD.
Cheers.

Welcome Silver. Cookies home tab & Cookies home tab editor are the apps you should start with. They will totally revolutionise the way your phone looks and works! Before you download them to the phone, you have to install NET3.5 framework. Download these three apps to your computer, then connect your phone via the usb it came with and select disc drive option and press done on the phone. Copy & paste or drag/drop these files into the program files folder on the new disc drive icon in your my computer window. Click the safely remove icon on the task bar and disconnect your phone from the pc. Now click the window icon on the phone, and scroll to the file explorer icon and press it. Click on NET3.5 and install it to the device when prompted. Do the same with CHT & Editor and be prepared to say WOW!!! Post here if you have any problems.

this is the name of the file: dotNetFx35setup. is it the right one?

Sir, you don't need to run/install Net Framework from your device, but you must run it from your PC via Active Sync.

nothing happends when I doubleclick, I press verify acces to windows bla bla, then nothing more happens
try this
First open the windows market and install any free game which require dotnet, by this process your dotnet will be installed and after that install all the above mentioned applications....

Well you go on the website I give up earlier, or do a research on Google fore Net Framework. you download it to your computer, and you connect your device with USB to your PC. you will see the window of ActiveSync on your screen (your pc trays to connect to your mobile device)
run the Net Framework application (.exe) from your PC. follow the steps, that's it.

Did you manage to get the NETCF3.5.CAB on your phone? I've done some digging, and you CAN install it on your phone. Connect the phone via usb and select the disk drive option from the phone screen and press done. Then go to my computer and click on the removable drive icon. Double click on program files icon and copy the NETCF3.5.CAB into this folder. Disconnect the phone from the computer, and press the windows icon on your phone. Scroll to file explorer icon and press it. Go to the top of the page and select the storage card. Press program files and find the net cab. Press it and follow the instillation process and it should install.

I think I know what the problem is now, I have Windows Mobile Device Center, instead of activesync, should I uninstall Mobile devi... and install activesync instead?

Just run on PC through Activesync, not in activesync

Activesync is for XP only, mobile devie center is the "ActiveSync" for Vista and Windows 7.
Functionality is equal (although perhaps when UAC active, one needs admin rights for full functionality - just guiessing about that though-)
You cannot run from activesync/mobile device center.
steps to follow:
1) Connect your phone to your computer
2) make sure you have partnership (even guest partnership is ok) betwwen phone and PC
3) Download the MS .net Framework from here and save it on your computer (eg in c:\tmp)
4) Run the downloaded package on your PC.
5) After running on PC, follow steps on your phone (if any)
It does not get any simpler...

Thanks for that Wilco. I installed the NETCF on my device, but I've not had any issues as yet? Mental note made for future/current advice. P.S. Sorry for doubting you Kurt.
How can I sync or copy my internet favorites from Windows 7 based laptop to Mozart internet explorer? thanks.
convoluted answer, you can't, but if you share via windows live from the PC and email the links to yourself and open them in Internet Explorer on the phone, you can then bookmark them. No workaround as yet
well, let's wait for updates. thanks and cheers...
Hi guys,
i have HTC Leo HD 2 with Energie ROM WM 6.5. I dropped my phone ot the floor and the screen got crashed. Now my sense doesn't work and all my phone contacts are in the phone. Please, help me with coppying all the contacts to the SIM card without using the touch screen ????
HELPPPP
vladi_90, install Activesync or WMDC to your PC. Install Microsoft outlook (part of the office) to your PC. Connect HD2 to USB. When sync software starts - sync your contacts with Outlook. No SIM is needed.Another thing - if you have a file manager on your PC with mobile plugin support (Total Commander for example), you can sync the phone, open it in file manager on PC an run executable of backing up contacts to SIM straight by clicking it on PC. (In case you have yhid backup program on your phone)
connect to PC & use MyMobiler (link in my signature) depends on default setting of usb connection though.

Your in-signature stuff is useful only to run phone's build-in SIM Manager from PC. Nothing else. Sync transport anyway must be installed (activesync or wmdc depending on OS)

Correct & that all you really need, but you could also install whatever contacts backup software you want so can be useful but not always the answer for all scenarios.
Other options are copying the pim.vol then using the wm6.5 emulator to load the pim & retrieve data.
Activesync & WMDC are all in HD2wiki

Heh Dude does not know that the easiest way to keep his contacts safe is to just have outlook.com email and you want him to use emulator and to deal with pim.vol?

Sorry, never read any wiki for HD2, Because I don't need it - I usually cooked my own roms for HD2 and never used someone's else. To know this - you may read my sig.

Problem is if he not by default set for sync by usb then it a bit of a problem using sync & outlook or any other option requiring sync.
In that scenario recovering the pim.vol via sd card extraction software is not a bad option .
Dudes, i can't transfer the contacts ......
I'm installing activesync 4.5 for XP, after that installing MyMobiler, connecting my HD2 with USB to the PC and on the desktop of the phone to default is the second option - Disk Transfer. At the screen of the PC i'am seeing this:
tinypic_____com/view.php?pic=29erkw0&s=8 (i don't have 10 posts and i can't add a link, please put instead of "____" "." )
Ideas ??
Is your device connected in storage mode !
Have a look in 'My Computer' at drives & if showing SD card of the HD2 then that the issue .
For above suggested ideas involving Activesync you need your HD2 to be set in Sync option for USB & obviously you can not change that as touch not working on the HD2 (as mentioned in post #7)
Your best bet is using the autorun feature from SD card to copy the PIM.VOL from the HD2 to the sd card then use emulator or request help for someone use emulator to load the pim.vol & export contacts.
See post below (#3) for general details/download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699101
You could also try removing SD card & connect via USB & see what access you have yo HD2 with likes of Total Commander from your PC.

Hey guys,
I recently switched to a Mac and I am having a hard time performing a simple one way folder to folder sync from my Nexus 5 to Mac. On Windows, I would use a software called SyncToy which allowed me to select the folder(s) from and to which I wanted to sync and it would do the rest of the work. It was simple and elegant.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any similar solution for the Mac even after a lot of Googling. I have tried using the Android File Transfer program. However, if I want to copy from one folder to the other and it finds duplicates, it only gives me the 'Skip' option. Since there is no 'Skip All' option this means I will have to click as many times as there are duplicates.
An program called CheetahSync exists but this program requires a WiFi connection and the sync cannot be performed using USB.
Aside from this topic, what is the directory path of the folders in my phone, when I connect it to my Mac? For example, in Windows the path of any folder in my Nexus 5 would be "Nexus 5/Camera/...".
Any help is appreciated. I am sure there are users out there who are using Android + Mac.
Thanks.
