Currently running Touch-IT 2.3 on my Wing. Just removed old versions of PocketCM (.15 and .16), installed .18 as well as Google Maps. Other than BatteryStatus, device is basically using only the standard programs that comes with Touch-IT.
I soft-resetted and now a battery icon appears in the top right corner of my today screen where the task manager button used to be. Clicking it brings up a "notification" window titled "Battery" with "Main", "Backup", and "Memory" and their relative percentages. When I click and hold it it comes up with a list (analog, percent + analog, percent + digital, memory + analog, detail). None of these gives me any indication of what program is doing this. I scoured my program settings (especially batterystatus) and can't seem to find what is doing this. Obviously not having quick task manager access is annoying, especially when the regular battery indicator is right next to this new icon.
Any ideas what program this might be or what setting might have been changed? Its more than possible that a friend playing with my phone checked some option box without me knowing it and the soft reset enabled it, I just can't find what it was!
Thanks
It sounds to me like you may have disabled your HTC Task Manager.
Go to Start, Settings, System, Task Manager
and under Button, make sure its Enabled.
You may also have something else installed that changes those icons, like wisbar or pocket plus that may be doing that... so make sure you dont have something else interfering.

There is a way to put all runnings programs icons at system tray (left comm manager and battery indicator)?
Some programs is there (like TomTom) but others is running but don't show!
I use SPB pocket plus to show and switch running programs (alt-tab function), but if I can show all at system tray think is usefull.
Thanks
There is a small software called "xbar" making it possible to gather all the programs chosen in a bubble accessible by a simple button from the phone.
Look at here
http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar 2&page=Presentation
there's a ton of apps that do that type of thing - I use MagicButton myself.
I don't think any of them put the icons in the 'tray', though. I'm not sure how useful that would be either, as the 'tray' is only visible on the Today screen.
I think is usefull because if you don't close apps don't know "in a flash" what is running! You will see today many times, don't?
I use SPB alt-tab funtion assign to a botton, but if don't enter on it I don't know how many apps are running... anm memory slow down (I use too close app button)!
vbar is a great application with low memory usage.
Hi, first off im new to the XDA EXEC so be gentle , I've already unlocked and updated the device and now I'm just getting use to customizing it.
I've installed GSPocketMagic and although i can get it running theres a few things im unsure of.
1. it seems to slow the boot up of the device considerably, don't know why or if that might be some remnance of O2 stuff kicking around on the device.
2. The icons don't seem to blend into the themes properly. For instance the close buttons seem to be of a different colour and you can easily see that. On the main today screen when no apps are running I have an obvious discoloured sqaure in the top right hand corner. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the bmp pallettes for the images? anyone done anything about this?
3. Skining the menu , on the download site is shows its possible but i've had no luck.
it looks like a good app but its just not reaching what i need any ideas on how to configure it properly as so far from what i've seen theres limited information on it and i've not found any translations etc.
Regards

Goto Start menu > Option > Setting... and and "play" with the settings of GSPocketMagic++
Cheers
i've had a play with the settings already and could really find what I was looking for the most i've managed to do is change the startup menu button to an image but it didn't resolve the fact that the button images for say close are off colour (even if you install the VGA xscale version (as i stated before).
Also I can't see how you skin the menu so it'd look similar to that of the existing menu bar (just for continuity of the plug in). Then finally theres the fact on boot its terribly slow to start up with this addition (or so it seems). However its still a vanillia(ish) device so i could be som O2 crap kicking around that i haven't removed yet?
dunno..hence the thread.
Smallmenu and GSPocketMagic will take quite a while to generate the icon cache on first launch. Just let it do it. It doesn't do it again after the first launch unless you manually refresh. It takes about 30 seconds for me.
V
If you goto Goto Start menu > Option > Setting... and directly close de Setting page it wil refresh the cache again. You can time it how log it takes. I have about 30 shortcuts in the menu (which I pointed to \windows\start menu\programs and not the standard folder), also to the SD card, and it takes about 4 to 5 secs to refresh it.
installing GSPocketMagic
Hello downloaded it
How do I install it on the Exec
Thx.
Tim
lol
is there an update 2 this? where can i find skins?
hey guys
first... sry for my bad englisch^^
so...i installed the new panel manager, but since i installed it the task manager icon in the right corner of the screen in the taskbar is not more displayed and if i press on that place nothing happens
i tryed also QuickMenü and SPB pocketplus but...the same(i dont know if they palce there a icon...but quickmenu changed my hole startmenu...)
is there any fix or something like that?...i´m using charon99´s lite&fast 1.3 with UC...
I have the same problem, made me switch back to the old panel manager, atleast until there is a fix for this.
You ca see the task manager button really shortly when you press the X, but it still does not work.
Does anybody have a solution?
yes i changed after i noticed that too to the old manager...but now i am back on the new manager because it is faster
at the moment i put the Windows Taskmanager in the launcher...so i do "the same" but i got to go over corner xD
This has happened to me too. Im not that bothered, but it does come in handy. Are there any fixes at all?
i searched a lot....but found nothing :S
Could somebody with any knowledge of the device investigate how to get the "task manager" back on the panels with the new panel manager?
Have tried switching the "put button on screen" (dont know precise names because of Dutch phone) option in settings, taskmanager and then button. This removes and adds the button in most panels (not "on the road") with the old panel manager, however with the new one it does not work. I also cant find any "process" with the advanced task manager that seem to correlate with this.
Again, does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks
Hey guys, How to Install old task manager? I don't like the new panel manager. It is fast, but I want task manager on the top of every panels.
Please help!
if you want your taskmanager back then you have to install the old panel manager...there is no way atm that the task manager works with R3A panel manager...
Could you please provide me an URL link to download the old panel manager. I don't want to do a Hard reset!
Hi There,
If you ever used the "Close Button" plug-in from Spb Mobile Plus you prolly know what I mean...
The HTC Taskmanager looks all nice, I like it, but its only accessible on the Today Screen. Is there a way to make it accessible even when you're not on the today screen?
Sometimes when you're doing stuff you want to "alt-tab" to another program and this is an easy way to do it, or when you want to close another/all other programs.
I hope there's a solution because it really is an improvement to the taskmanager.
me too
sorry, no help here. I can only say "me too". I was actually just thinking about this today. I've had this phone for a few months, and it just today occurred to mr today that you can't close other open programs without going back to the today screen, only option is to "x" button back to today screen or hope that what you seek to close is in your start menu under 'recent items'.
any help or development would be super appreciated, thanks all.
There is a shortcut in the Settings folder in the Systems tab. However, I expect you don't want to go through all of that when you want to use it. As an alternative, you could use file explorer and go into the Windows folder, find the Task Manager program in there, copy it and past a shortcut in the Windows/Start Menu folder. Then it would be on your Start Menu. You would need to remove one other item if you were then over the allowed maximum number of items in there.
Is that accessible enough?
I'd rather not put it in my start menu cus there are other "important" shortcuts in there...
I'd rather have it in the upper right corner...
You could use WkTask
the best free taskmanager there is (not working on wm6.5)

I tried it and I like it, Is there a way to make a backup of my settings?
It seems the program doesnt work as i wished it would. I worked with it for a while and I like the concept alot, but there's a major flaw. Sometimes when I make adjustments to, lets say, my alarm settings (winmo clock/alarms setings), and when I press [ok] the window minimizes (I set the one click to minimize), there's no way you can apply the changes because it will keep on running on the background. If I choose to close it then the changes wont apply. This occurs to many other programs I use in simular occasions when you need to press [ok] to apply settings.
I would still have a solution to the HTC taskbar though. I think I would prefer it over the WkTask taskmanager.
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
anyone?? regards to the phone

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
