My favorite task manager seems to be having some problems with the Dual. Overall it works fine except for :
1. Can't use the "slide gesture" for the "close button" (I use to pull up the list of apps)
2. Can't access "long press" of buttons, the buttons menu just keeps the 1/2/3 buttons
Anyone else noticed that ?
bump !
I had switched back to the HTC Task Manager for...task management but I found it slows downs the Nike, so all the more interested in getting SPB P+ working properly !

Is this possible?
I do use magic button but having to touch the screen to close an app sucks.
this seems to work, but only half works, it closes the apps, but leaves them running in the background, you have to go into settings and memory to close them fully, i would have thought microsoft would have thought of fixing that problem with this new WM 5.0 OS
joey jojo: I presume you're aware that this "feature" is by design to optimise performance of this platform?
VJOkButt will do what ranchosteve asked for, in conjunction with a hardware key mapper like AE Button Plus. However, I don't recommend the app. It doesn't seem to work perfectly for everyone and may be withdrawn.

Under settings/buttons you can assign one of the buttons to close apps. I have used button 4. Hope this helps 8)
Use SmartKeys
Use SmartKeys - it allowes to use right softbutton to close the app when pressed down for a few seconds. Search for it in the forum. :wink:
So Ive noticed that the latest phoneAlarm has basically the same functionality as Second today, (phoneAlarm is useless if it is not run as a today screen plugin) and it works jsut as well, if not a TAD bit faster. So my questions is, what have people noticed if anything else in the difference of the two.
Also, One thing I have noticed is that when I launch Manila, via the phonealarm's softkey, then when i press the home hardware button, it doesnt take me to the home tab of manila which bugs me cause i used to use that a lot. Any thoughts on what might be going on there?
You hit the nail on the head with the "home" button, I didn't like that much either.
The main difference is in boot order, I think. If you use PhoneAlarms functionality (i.e. "enable TF3D" option), then PhoneAlarm (and anything else) runs 'natively' in TODAY and adds the softkey to LOAD Manila -- therefore you will always START with the Today screen, and Manila will not run until you press the key. (this appears to effect the hardware home button as well)
If you use SecondToday, however, Manila is now running natively FIRST -- and your Today apps will also start running in the background automatically. Remember to disable the TF3D option in PhoneAlarm, and you can still use both softkeys for whatever you want in SecondToday.
I've tried both, and definitely prefer SecondToday. The Home key now works from anywhere.
Hi,
I have a strange problem among the applications named in the subject. I love the volume control which I found in Itjes blackstone application thread. As soon as I install the large title bar application, I can´t set the volume via the volume up/down buttons anymore but with my fingers on the screen. I´m usin the standard german rom with darans TF3D application. Do you have a solution for me? I saw roms where both aplications work in harmony.
I have the same problem. I think it's related with TF3D. it work's in every other panel but on TF3D the volume keys are used to navigate
Seems ok for me.
I found the bug, as soon as I install VAlert or Resco Contact Manager this happens.
I uninstalled VAlert and unckecked the option in Resco CM to usw my buttons et voila, no problems anymore.
I have the problem with the volume control that after i used it, every screen rotate sends me to the home screen and the application i'm currently running into the background, very annoying, it worked fine with the old ROM.
It's kind of frustrated for me.
When I have two applications running, for example, GPS and Email reading. In order to switch to GPS from Reading, I have to click Start->Home, where I have shortcut for Task Manager. Open Task Manager, from there, I can switch to GPS application.
Any other faster ways? Really miss that TAB switching in regular Windows OS....
I personally use LMT with task fascade. They work very well with each other.
try WkTASK.
or arkswitch...

You just extract alttab.exe and copy it to your Program Files and assign a button (I assign Windows button) to it with e.g. AEBplus:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Then this works just like Windows Alt+Tab by pressing just one button - you switch between your opened apps (home panel included though)
Also, you (just like me can assing a wonderful task manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655853&highlight=mm+task+manager
to the green button, using same AEBplus (I use green button for calling a phone maybe only twice a day). Then you have two very quick ways to see/switch your running programs
Just for info: Windows button is the very center hard button, Green button is the very left button on HD2.
I mean that I never use the green button - I just use soft button (quick link on the home) to open the Phone, so using the green button to open MM Task manager is extremely convenient.
Thanks a lot, I will try tonight.
Dutty's task manager, MMTaskManager, Showcase, XTask just to name a few of the top of my head
duttys task manager is the simplest and best

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you are using WM 6.5.x Arkswitch is the best taskmanager imo.
Hi Guys,
I'm new with my HD mini, got tons of experience with other HTC devices.
I ran into a problem. How do I close an program?
Like, when I use file explorer, and I want to close it.
There is no exit in the Menu of file explorer.
And the Home, Windows and arrow button won't close it.
When I look into Task Manager, everything is still running.
Is there a way? or do I need to map the close application option to a button?
Sharky
Some apps can be closed by the "back" button.
Others have a close-button inside the app itself or must be closed with task manager.
Did not found another solution for this.
Thanks codiak, but no real help there.
I tried to use AE Button Plus to map the BACK button (arrow button) to the CLOSE command, but it can't be done. Does someone have an other option to assign close to a button?
i haven't found a solution so far, but i use spb mobile shell so there's a shortcut to the task manager on my home screen
it's not THE solution either but i close thanks to 'ArkSwitch'
just have to touch the top bar and then i close programs
If you've got a faster solution, i'm interrested in.
Not realy related to this post, but anyway:
On my old HTC Elf it was also possible to close the services via task manager. On the mini you can only view them.
Did someone found a solution for that?
You can have the missing X button back if you do what i've written here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6740128&postcount=9 After that you can use ameba (or any other) in order to make the X button really close the running apps. Hope i helped
Use the stock Task Manager to close apps. You can assign it to the long-press end button. So that you can bring it up from anywhere anytime. Or click the task bar, then Task Manager. You can also find it in the Start menu.
From the Task Manager list, click on the app you want to close, then click End Task softkey. Alternatively, you can click and hold the app in the Task Manager list, a shortcut menu will pop up, then click End Task.
Hi,
with AEbutton plus a Taskmanager is included. I have connected this with the longpress Windows button. there you can close via touching the red cross. Not very comfortable but it works if you have AEB anyway.
Regards,

Zalaros, I think you have the winning answer (for me).
There is my lovely X button again. Although it doesn't close yet. I will look into ameba.
Please post your ameba alternatives here, since I don't know any.
Funny how please "solve" this problem for their own. Thnx everyone
ZapIt
I installed ZapIt (found here) and then copied \Windows\Start Menu\Zap IT!.exe to \Windows\EndKey.exe
It closes any program by longpressing the End key.
I Installed AMeBa and the Settings app by Scarecrow420 and I must say I'm a happy camper
Now I'm at the point of removing my task manager shortcut from my today screen, cause I don't need it anymore.
Thanks for the comment wensing, but I won't be needing it. Ameba give me more options for more buttons.
