I was wondering if it would be possible to have nice fast simple on-screen task manager that is called from long press of home button, for example. Anyone got ideas?
It's not exactly the same question, but is it possible to map a softkey to the standard task manager? (I just bought a piel frama case and it's hard to tap on the task manager symbol)
Or add a shortcut to the task manager in the start menu .. any ideas how to do this?
try here:
http://www.dotfred.net/
he has (in my opinion) the best taskmanager with all the trimmings, but if you want a basic one that just displays running programs as a picture, like Alt+Tab on a PC, download the task switcher from the above site
once it is installed, got to START->SETTINGS->BUTTONS
you will see only one button available, this is called "Button 1" (the call key bot the hang up key) map task switcher to this
then when you hold down the call key you will have a visual taskmanager where you can end running progs etc
hope this helps
Thanks for the reply, I have that task manager already installed in Dutty's ROM, and I think it's great but I can't find a simple option like "close all active tasks" and "define exceptions"
For the second idea, I have tested it but I don't like to hold any key, I feel like doing harm to my phone
thanks for the responses guys...

Is it possible to change the quick list items or reassign long press end key?
Maybe registry path where to change it?
I thought to put task manager there cause when some app freeze quick list is the only place that responding so it would be good to have task manager there to kill freeze processes..
Someone actually use the quick list? cause i don't use it at all...

Item #13.
If "HTC Long Press End Key" software is not installed on your PPC, you'll find it at Itm #9.

Thanx!
item 13 works well and easy to do
On my X1 i run the SPB Panel. This gives me 3 ways to get to my recent programs by a single button push. There's the left soft key, the 'Recent' virtual directory and the recent list in the start menu.
I think it would be sensible if one of these could be a CURRENT list instead. IE programs which are open and you may want to activate. I like the built-in task manager in the Tools area but it's not accessible when a program is active. Something on the task bar would be much better, so how about a list in the start menu? There are lots of start menu programs and I wondered if anyone had seen one that has this feature?
Thanks
NB: SPB Panel disables the HTC Task Manager
Have a search for QuickMenu, works great and should do what your looking for.

Thank you. This is brilliant!!
quickmenu is even better when combined with wktask
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!
Hello everyone!
I was looking for a taskmanager hd2, allowing programs to terminate a time after you step in x.
There is a Task Management under Settings, but I can not put the quick link on the home.
You tell me a good task manager or add the link I mentioned as actively managed in the home?
Thank you very much!
everything you have to do is use File Explorer, check for taskmgr.exe or something similar, and select under Menu->Edit->Copy.
Then, go to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs and paste a shortcut of the taskmgr.exe app.
You will now have the TaskManager in the start menu.
If you want to add a link to the Home tab, you can see the Task Manager app. in the list of 'Add programs' once you do the stept I've told about earlier
Thank you very much!

you can also use dutty's taskmanager. This is a plugin that replaces the "x" button and really closes down an application

And it also lets you very easily switch between running applications, a bit like the taskbar on your desktop
I used Dutty for a while, but the X is often not available ...
I ended up going back to HandySwitcher. The icon is a little small which makes activating a little hard but at least you can use it from anywhere.

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
