Download Jmz Android Dual-Boot for HTC HD2
Open file explorer in Windows Mobile. Go to ‘Android’ folder in SD card. Click on CLRCAD.exe and click on Haret.exe in the end.

How to hide folders with pictures from HTC Album?
Arr… My HTC Album shows too many pictures already. It shows pictures from my album in DCIM folder which is correct. But it also show other folders with pictures which I don’t want. How to hide these folders with pictures from HTC Album? It is not hard to hide them. All you need is Windows Mobile Registry Editor. And key in some values.
Things to do…
- Open the registry editor
- Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored (create the Ignored key if doesn’t exist)
- Create a new String Value and name it whatever you want (Example, Garmin)
- Set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored (Example, \Storage Card\Garmin)

Slow 3D performance on your HTC HD2? Poor video performance too? No worry, XDA Moderator, Chainfire created a HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch for all of us.

Microsoft Facebook Client 1.2 (1.1.0.14) for Windows Mobile
HTC HD2 has Facebook mobile client built in but it is not the latest version. Microsoft Marketplace has the latest version 1.1.0.14 for Windows Mobile. Other platforms already got version 1.2. I installed this so called latest version on my HTC HD2. Hoping to get a better performance in viewing photo. But I was wrong. The same slowness still can be found in this 1.1.0.14 version. The Windows Mobile loading icon keeps showing while loading photo sometimes. I rather use HTC Album to view Facebook photo. It is faster. And do the rest like view status update, news feed, people info in this Facebook mobile client.
By the way, you will notice there is lot of folders pop up on HTC Album after you wondering around Facebook 1.1.0.14 photo. It has image cache. The image cache folder is located at your device storage but you can change to Storage Card if needed. Just edit HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Facebook\ImageCache -> path to the location that you want. And use this guide to hide these folders with pictures from HTC Album.
With HTC HD2 large screen, I seldom use Facebook client. I login to Facebook directly with Opera browser. How about you?
Download Microsoft Facebook Client 1.2 (1.1.0.14) cab here.
