Is there any way to stop a program from running besides going to Memory>Running Programs?
Programs are usually still running in the background when yu close them with the X.
Also, how do I configure it so that the Call Enf button (red button) ends programs?
It used to do so until I changed my ROM.

I'm sure it's one of the install files in the extended ROM 'cos it worked before I changed my ROM.
I'm just not sure which file it is.
with mamaich Phone contacts cproghook, the red button does the same as tapping the X. Which still is minimize.
To actually stopping the programs are several tools available, but i don't have/need one, so can't help you there.
Finally gotten my very own D810
This is not my first PPC...but I guess I still need to get used to WM5....
I have questions...and I have read through most of the threads from here before buying...guess I still need some help...
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
7)Anybody manage the get the registery tweak for the defaultim to work?? I can't seem to get it to work..even though I'm very sure I got the registry value correct...
Set default SIP
The default SIP (Secondary Input Panel) on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} = Letter Recognizer
Think that's all the qns I have for today. Will continue exploring!!
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
No it does not. The behaviour is just like you wrote. What is the problem with that?
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
I think there is 3rd party software doing this. WM5Newmenu for instance changes one of the softkeys to a new menu.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
I cant remember having such a shortcut on WinCE. You can see all runing programs (and terminate them) going to settings, system, memory and selecting the right tab.
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
You are right. Why would you want to change this?
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
That is something I would llike to know too. In fact I would prefer to switch the phone off with one click and to toggle BT and WiFi with one click.
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
What is CE-Star?

I also don't remember this one but I highly recommend a program called HandySwitcher by Dinarsoft -- it's only around $8 but works great. Initially it'll have silly options enabled like overcrowding the title bar with icons like the HandySwitcher icons but you can disable them and instead place an icon in the today screen tray to use to see a list of programs running in the background and terminate whichever you like or all of them.

I don't recall having that problem. Maybe it's a Dopod ROM thing?

Create your own shortcut to \Windows\CommManager.exe by creating a file called 'Comm Manager.lnk' in \Windows\Start Menu\ or wherever you like and put the following line in that file:
21#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If you like you can use the utility PHM Traylauncher (which I've attached to this post) to place it permanently in the today screen tray for easy access.

I don't know the answer to this but if you figure it out, please share with us as I'd like to change it from Pocket MSN Messenger to Pocket Skype.
Hope this helps.
anyone knows how can I add a windows media player shortcut to the today screen? (i tried settings-->today-->items but there is no option for adding wmp on the today screen)
I would like to see the programs that are running down in the system tray on the today screen. You know, the place where you see your battery level and connection manager icons?
Is this possible via a registry hack that anyone knows of?

There are registry tweaks for standard items like battery, clock and so on but AFAIK not ones for all running programmes. There are tons of freeware task manager apps that place running progs in task bar and probably the tray as well. Magic Button for example - but it shows in task bar.

u dont need registry twaeks!!
use some extrernal file explorer.
go to the windows folder and find the power tray file copy paste in the startup folder
soft reset is ready.

Actually this so-called fix does not work. If you put the icon in the startup tray all it does is start the program at start up. So no, it does not put it on the tray.
Try again?
VJTrayLaunch
This is a command line application, and can be used to launch any program or shortcut.

TrayLnch
TrayLnch only 47,9kb
is good for hermes
Can't believe people would pay $13 for this.
I made VJTrayLaunch, which is fine for one or two apps, but I recommend PHM Tray Launch 110%.

The question is in the title

it is funny you mention because the question really is how to close opera. Once you have opened opera it stays on. the only thing is that you cannot see it in the task manager. they made it invisible so you can't kill the process. but now you also cant start it up from there. so when clicking the X you are minimizing the app. don't you think it starts fast when opening it for a second time. when new roms come without manilla, you will see it again in the task manager

just exit the program via the opera-menu then it really closes.
if you use the X it does only minimize.

that still doesnt close it, if u use a proces monitor like Sktools u can still see Opera9.exe running, its even in the top 10 in mem usage. killing it in the process monitor doesnt seem to fix it either as the proces gets restarted somehow, but it does use lots less memory afterwards
I uses Touch Pro (Raphael) before switching to Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium), Opera minimizes visibly in Task Manager. But not in Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). Now I know...
But is there a trick or 2 to modify the registry in Manila file(s)?
this would explain why sometimes as I'm moving offices etc and connecting to different wi-fi's sometimes although the wi-fi is connected it continues to use 3G.
I shutdown Opera and restart usually to try and force it to use the connected wi-fi but sometimes it just doesn't.
Turns out I'm not really shutting down opera hence why It continues to use it's original connection to 3G (not always though.)

I have been playing around with the registries and it seems there are some registry settings that you can change to prevent that
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
If you look into the above folder, you can find a list of apps that will run under exclusive, meaning they will not show up in the normal task manager. You will notice Opera9.exe is in there. If you remove the entry, you can now see Opera9.exe in the task list. But it still doesn't seem to terminate the process when you exit Opera. Hence for the first poster, if you just stop here, your Opera will minimize visibly to the tasklist once you click on the "X"
For those who want to further kill Opera when you click on "X", you need to go to
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
Add a DWORD key (Opera9.exe) and set the value to 1. Now when you exit Opera, the process will be terminated and memory returned.
This works for me.
Cool~ Will try it out. Thanks so much!

It's work! And I was looking for this for a long time !Thank You!
is there ANY possibility of someone posting a screenshot of exactly what this looks like when it is typed in? I am so new and i dont want to mess up anything. Thanks.
But it opens very quickly when you want to use it again. Almost immediatly.
I just use cleanRAM a couple of times a day...Mostly after using opera
As far as I know opera keeps running is because push page is enabled.
Turn off push page in registry and reboot, then and it should not be always running in background.

Hello,
Sorry, it doesn't work for me
I've tryed every solution I found, I believe on registry settings, but all I found doesn't work, the opera9.exe process still become again and again, however I kill it, turn on the registry keys (RealExit, allready on), using the right menu of Opera for the built in "real" exit, killing Opera9.exe from different Task Manager (then OperaL.exe appears a few seconds, then Opera9.exe again), renaming file OperaL.exe to not be launched at startup -> another one was restored (more ancient) !
How is it possible to change any settings on a brower, or installing any plugin, if this one is always running ??
Thanks for help

Yes, you did it ! Woohoo !
Thanks a lot for this tip, it helps me !
In fact, I didn't need to install the NoPushInternet_v2.CAB of TinTin, but thanks to him ; the indication that there is a service to stop was suffisant for me. I set myself the PushInternet service to start manually, with FdcSoft Task Manager. After soft reset, Opera is not launched automatically !
I gain 5% of free memory.
In addition to that, Opera works better now, the splash screen of Opera Mobile appears when he starts, sign that it is really launched manually. And Flash Player runs now, that's great ! Sign that it is not possible to install a plugin when the browser is still running. And also, when minimized, Opera appear in the Task Manager menu of TF3D, great too.
Strangely, when I use the Opera menu to exit, it does not ! He's not minimized, but Opera9.exe is still running. But I can kill it and he doesn ot reappear.
Also, if I use the X button, Opera really exit ! So, all is allright
Anybody has an idea oon which process to chose to do the same with Activesync ?
Should be \Windows\repllog.exe ?
ASUS P835 can use "X" to stop program ,but buy HD mini and try install "HTC task manager v2.1 " or other "task manager cab ", cannot show "X" in top task bar ,why?
please help me !!!
* buying & using in Hong Kong .
thank you
yep, me too.
I'm used to close program tapping 'x' button in elfin. Now, mini hasn't 'x' and it's not comfortable to manage program that i'm running. everytime run task manager and close it.
there some1 know how to restore 'x' function in mini pls.,,,,
missing x
Install the Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3, this contains a tweak that enables taskmanager to exit progs automaticly to save memory.
Works great for me.

Which setting (in advanced config. tool) does that?
missing x
- htc task manager -> auto kill
maybe use arkswicht.
What I do if I want to see the X button?
I think it correct with a change in registry.
I also installed a task manager program that controled from X button position, but it does not work.
I have a serious problem with it.
Hi all,
I had same behaviour, and usually use the x button. But in HD mini all this things changed and I has been disapointed for a while, but...
For office and other applications, you use the back <- hardware key instaed of "x" ou "ok" button. The only difference is that the application is not taken away of memory, it remains minimized.
If you want close one or more apps, knowing the fact you have a lot more RAM than on Diamond for example and you do not have to close every time the applications, you can yuse the integrated Task Manager tapping on top bar and then Task Manager button.
I found a solution to bring back the missing X button
With a registry editor got to HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Shell->BubbleTiles and set HardwareDoneKeyEnabled to 0 and HardwareStartKeyEnabled to 0. You will have
the X/Ok button back but also the win key on the bottom left will be back too. If you won't enable the winkey, the softkeys won't be centered and it looks ugly.
Also set TextModeEnabled to 0 in order to have icons instead of text in softkeys. The hardware buttons work normally like before. Hope i helped
Thanks, I've done that but doesn't seem to work. When I press X it minimizes the program instead of closing it. I check the task manager and is still running
this is standard for x, "x" never exit programs for real, was just a new function later on TD or newer to close programs with the x button....so I think "exit programs by pressing x" is another regkey you need to enable, without this, it´s standard "x" function, and that was always "minimize"
Thanks for the explanation
No there is no reg key to change the function of the X key. The only way to change the function of the X key (to really close apps instead of minimise them) is via a program such as xtask, wktask, ameba ect. In these programs there is an option to make X button close apps. Ameba is the most simple app to use. Just search for it
Doesn't the "end call"-button exit apps on the mini?
unfortunately no...
did anyone notice when you go phone. the icon is like mess up.. how to solve

No problem here with any of the icons I can see. Which one did you mean?
whn u put the "phone" button. you can see that there is one keypad button at the centre, then on the left and right.. there seem to be 2 icon. being overlap..
No overlap here; I do see the text of 'people' slightly cut off due to the narrower button next to the Start button
