Can't close apps - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello everyone,
Got a simple but very important problem. I can't close apps by x button even though I have installed HTC Task Manager v.2+. I think its probably due to QuickMenu who also has the same options and I used them. Any registry edits for this. Is it possible to have this feature enabled through registry permanently.
Thanks everyone !
PS . Is it ok to have 8-10 word suggestions in SIP(Keyboard) instead of 4.

first this is probably in the wrong section second maybe just use the one of the functions...either task manager or quickmenu...cuz it mite conflict each other

First, thanks for the reply.
Second, i apologize if its in the wrong section.
Third, can QuickMenu be removed cause there is no cab installation. Plz advise.
Fourth, i wanted to know the reg edits for this purpose.
Finally, I have stopped using QuickMenu(for now) and HTC TaskManager is enabled and yet the same result. Yes i did reset after disabling QuickMenu and enabling TaskManager.
Thanks again for reply and awaiting further guidance.

New O2 XDA Mini S Questions

If these are simple please forgive me!
1) After been on a while I seem to be unable to make a phone call. Pressing the call button or phone icon on the main screen does nothing. I am forced to switch off and on - then works fine??
2) If I go "settings" I show 4 applications running yet when I click on that none come up in the window (ie the "task manager" box)?
Any advice appreciated - am I being stupid?

first - read http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534 - the thread called "Please read this before posting". it advises on properly naming your post.
2nd This is a Wizard forum, so ALL the questions relate the (hardware) O2 XDA mini S
As to your errors, please give more info. What software have you installed? after a while the phone locks the screen & HW buttons exept the power one. hopefully this isn't what you mean, but other software may be causing a similar problem
I'm new to this device as well, and I had a similar problem with the phone refusing to work. I put it down to the phone app looking like an unnamed Internet Explorer task in task manager, which I'd previously deleted.
Lo and behold, it was there again after a reset... Both the phone functionality and the blank IE task. I haven't stopped it again since.
Many thanks for these replies. Sorted now. Didn't think that the problems were related!
Beeble - thanks for reminding me to read "please read prior to posting" thread. Have now done so. Not the best thread in the world but seems like a very useful forum :wink: .
In the profiles section there isn't a way of adding a Wizard, so I have tagged details to my signiture. Hope this is acceptable.

i have this problem too. i have been told to google magic buttons and download a program that is separate to task manager and means that when you close programs having use the phone it doesnt close the phone totally:
Is this what you mean mate:

Jamin - Delete recent programs from start menu

Hi Guys,
I just got my Jamin a few days ago and have hard reset it more times than I care to remember. There are a few things that irritate me that hopefully you guys can clear up for me.
Firstly, how do I switch off the recent programs section of the start menu?
Also, how do I clear recent searches and Terminal Service information?
Thanks,
DB
Ok... so this might not be the most complex of questions for you guys to answer... but someone MUST know... And the same for the dictionary... where's that located?
Both entries are in the registry. Both require you to perform a reset afterwards. You can not turn off the recently used programs list (stupid M$, I know!) but you can clear it. Attached is a CAB file that should clear the recently used list (make sure it is read only so it doesn't get deleted after you run it). It is meant for WM2003SE but I think it should work for WM5; you may just have to change the Max OS Version using WinCE CAB Manager. For the Terminal Services Client list, you will have to search the registry fo the IP/server name and then delete it manually.
cya
Thanks Mate,
I appreciate the help
What app do I use to regedit? Obviously Start >Run - regedt32 doesn't work! haha
EDIT: Call me blind... but where's the attachment!? Haha
Yea, good point where is the attachment? This is the 2nd time this is happening to me on this forums in one day! The file upload keeps timing out, so I'm just going to tell you the Registry change you have to make and you will have to use WinCE CAB Manager to make your own cab file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch]
"0"=""
"1"=""
"10"=""
"11"=""
"2"=""
"3"=""
"4"=""
"5"=""
"6"=""
"7"=""
"8"=""
"9"=""
Use PHM Registry Editor or trial version of Resco Explorer 2005. Both should be on Pocketgear.com or try google. Depending on your Registry editor you may have to exclude the speech marks.
Hope it helps
VJEschaton has a command line to clear the recent menu. However, the OS still requires you to soft reset. Defeats the point IMHO.

Comm Manager-messed up!

Hi all, PLEASE HELP! I have tried searching for a remedy.
Since I joined this forum, I had lots of fun tweaking whatever I wanted! now I think i accidentally used wrong graphic cabs or something for Comm Manager!
NOW it looks like this!
(I though a SPRITE restore would undo it, but it didnt..)
Anyone can help me tweak the registry again?
or maybe a cab file somewhere for the original sizes and buttons. (I think I will still dare to try any other tweaks except comm manager related!-It may affect my phone!)
Thanks in advance...
NOTE THAT screen capture utility was visible because the comm manager graphic was small..& became "transparent"
hi..just wanted to say that it got fixed "accidentally" when I installed whatever cab files related to comm manager i found on the internet..(about 5 cab files- i guess some for VGA/QVGA etc)..when I uninstalled the cab files..it went back to normal...yeah!
AGAIN!!!??

wakeup.exe is missing?!

hi everybody!
I have a problem...
Everytime, i wakeup my hermes, there is a message (i have to translate it into english
"Canot execute \Program Files\Liakeridge\Wisbar advance desktop\wakeup.exe"
thats funny, becaus i tryed wisbar desktop and deleted it directly... so i havn't installed it so far...
I tryed to rename an other app to "wakeup.exe" and put it there...
It works, but its not the best way when you wakeup your hermes and an useless app starts directly.
can you help me, how to fix this?
Sorry for my bad english
u said u deleted it? it seems to me that you installed wisbar advance and wakeup.exe was one of the parts to it that started up when you woke it up.
did you uninstall/remove wisbar properly? or just delete it? because that seems that there are still links to it in the registry.
UNINSTALL through 'remove programs' (or install it and then uninstall. see if that works.)
hey.
Thank you for your fast help, but i deinstalled the programm properly...
I only use the normal wisbar advance, and i tryed the desktopversion for 5 min and removed it than with the activsync tool.
Do someone has an other idea?
It sounds like de-installing the Wisbar Advance Desktop app might've messed something up with Wisbar Advance 2.
There are several things you might do to correct the situation, but without direct knowledge regarding what WAD needs installed vs what WA2 needs, I think it would probably be best to bring this question to the programs' author, Chris McKay.
Try reaching him on one of the forums he keeps at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=23
HTH,

Yes, SKTools Cleaning wizard will remove broken shortcuts, and that is the problem that you described. The question comes to mind, though, as to whether WA2 needed the app that the particular shortcut pointed to.
I guess in your case, it did not, and as such, WA2 is still working satisfactorily.

How to stop listing my recent programs!!

Hi all , I need a help
How can I stop listing my recently opened documents??
actually, it is annoying !!! I hope your help friend
by the way, I use appl SKTools 4.21 to clear the list ..... but it is some thing bothering me ....
Thanx in advance for all
if your talking about the recent programs list in the start menu...theres a program called startclean, that clears the list every time you reboot, other than that, i dont know....
theres a link for the startclean.exe somewhere in the forums
the program wisbar advance allows you to not show the recent apps list at all. Its a cool little launcher program that I quite like and have used for a while. I'm trying out Ultimate launcher at the moment but like wisbar more. It is a commercial program but the benefits far outweigh the cost. There is a trial but I'm not sure for how long. Hope this helps.

It won't stop them getting listed as you use them but whenever StartClean (tiny wee cab, lots of copies of it posted around here) will make sure your start menu is clean whenevr you soft reset.
(I cook it into my ROMs every time, so useful).

As I said, Wisbar Advance 3 (for WM06) allows you to NOT SHOW recently used apps. It is part of the settings where you can pick if you want "help", "find", "desktop", "favourites" and recent settings" by ticking/unticking a box. You can also change the indicators across the top and their order. I would suggest this if you dont want to be troubled by "Recent Items" again... Cheers

Mm, I'm pretty sure that this or another app would be the only way to do that and ultramag69's suggestion of Wisbar Advance is probably the most popular option.
Other than that (if you don't want that running - it does do a lot of otyher, clever thigs you might also find yuo enjoy though) I think you'll have to search about, probably with Google or your own perferred search engine. there's probably some freeware aruond to do that task only and therefore be 'smaller' I'd have thought. StartClean does me as I do like to have the programs I just launched sat there but not on boot-up.
Hi,
Found this link. Haven't tried it yet to see if it just removes them temporarily or stops it from listing them, but worth a shot.
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc/browse_thread/thread/d4537c1a66a31057
Let me know how it works
Disregard
Got Home and tried it and on mine under WM6 it doesn't work. Will keep looking.
