Adding Task manager to today screen

I am using Spb Pocket Plus and I would likt to add the Task Manager to it. But I cannot find the file for it in the Windows folder, which is where I thought it would be. Where is this file located?

spb pocket plus has a task manager built into it... what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
(assuming your using a Wing running the stock rom)
If you're trying to turn it on ... go to start, settings, system
and turn off the htc task manager that comes with the phone.
then go into the spb pocket plus settings, and turn the task manager on in there. I haven't used Pocket plus in a long time, so I don't recall the exact process, but it should be pretty straight forward.

Program memory question

I've searched in many threads but didn't find anything about shift. What is consuming the MB's in program memory (wm side)? After a softreset I have about 20.60 MB free and then it goes down and down. Only pBar is running.. I uninstalled the spb shell 3 which was a real memory killer. Can it be the snapvue? Or the weather - should I have the modem closed?
PS I'm already using memmaid's reclaime RAM.
Any suggestions are welcome.

do you use IE or Opera and browse a lot, if that is the case then you need to delete the cookies and temp files , I remember there was option on IE to clean up if you exit application .
Do you have task manager installed , check if you have too many programs running at the same time on background, kill the junk programs

Multiboot Windows CE possible?

Good evening!
I am currently using a iGO8 navigation system on my HTC Diamond and often get crashes because of the lack of enough memory. So I thought of the following solution:
Wouldn't it be possible to create a multiboot menu which shows up when booting the Diamond, just before the Explorer.exe loads, which lets me choose between booting the normal Windows Mobile GUI or the iGO application (or whatever application I want to)?
I think iGO won't need Windows Mobile to run as it runs on PNA's which are basically just Windows CE systems, and those don't run any Explorer application unless you force them to do so.
I think this can be made possible by changing the INIT entry for Explorer.exe to any other application (the menu) in the registry.
Would that be possible?

the PNA/ gps menu its an application for Windows CE. it loads after windows ce has been loaded. It goes in full screen, without an exit button. so basicaly when the gps menu is loaded all other necesary wince files are loaded (except maybe explorer.exe, witch can load in 1sec with taskman command.). Also wince loading takes about 5 seconds and win6.1 about 1min. As i know win6.1 does not have explorer.exe. insteed i think is nk.exe witch is the os. so without os igo wont work.

Isn't there any way we can skip the Windows Mobile GUI and directly start iGO?
Also, I don't think all neccessary files are loaded AFTER iGO was started. I think they are loaded before as the last INIT entry is the navigation software.
I don't know if Windows CE has some kind of regsvr32.exe or something similar.

I don't think it's possible. But I do know a solution - you should find a ROM with maximum RAM available to user.

I have one (Gen.Y) but I just install to much stuff onto my diamond and therefore the free memory is smashed

I think that you are confusing ROM (storage memory) & RAM (program memory). Program memory is what you need for flawless iGo performance. Try, for example, latest official HTC ROM, it should be better for RAM than most of the cooked ROMs.

I know the difference
It's just that I am running too much applications in the background (WisBar Advance, TouchResponse, Palringo and what not all) so that the free RAM is just smashed
Well, I guess I have to clean up a bit.
Thanks anyway

In that case, I have a definitive solution - you should by Raphael, like me. I'm able to run at the same time Garmin, iGo, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, DotFred TaskMgr and much much more, and have absolutely no problems.

Windows mobile process viewer from windows

well i have searched any answer but failed to find an application able to do the following thing : viewing on your dev machine what is running on your windows mobile, noticely to check memory consumption and cpu load. i only found applications doing so on the mobile. thanks.

I don't know about any other apps like this, but Visual Studio includes a Process Viewer that allows you to view processes, threads and modules and kill processes. It doesn't display memory or CPU usage though.

How to kill processes ?

Hi all!
I'm desperately looking for a way to kill processes on my HD2 (wm6.5).
Here is what I've already experienced :
1°/ windows task manager : it is possible to switch display between applications and processes, but when I select the process display, the processes can't be killed whereas applications can be... Does someone know if there is a trick (maybe in the registry) to allow process kill in the windows task manager?
2°/ HTC Task manager : Only applications are visible (Not processes).
3°/ Dotfred's Task Manager : it doesn't seem to work under wm6.5.
Thanks for your replies... ;-)

Hi,
I think the below is what you are looking for. Sorry, being a newbie member, I am not allowed to post clickable links.

Yes, thanks Kilrah!!!
Schap's Advanced Task Manager is exactly the kind of application I was looking for...
Easy to use, light and working on windows mobile 6.5.
I really don't understand why such a useful application was so hard to find and I why it is not already implemented in windows mobile whereas it is for non mobile versions.
I spent hours looking for this kind of soft on google without any results... A lot of task managers exist without the ability of killing processes. Some are not working (maybe to old or designed for older windows mobile versions). Few people seem to be interested in this kind of soft. Surprising...
Anyway, thanks a lot!
