Hello,
I was looking to find a good task manager for the Xperia X1.
The possibilities I found were: Magic Button, wkTASK and PBar. But I do not know which one to take. I like the 'taskbar' functionality in Magic Button and wkTASK, which I miss in the HTC task manager.
What task manager software do you use?
Request for advice in choosing the best task manager for the Xperia X1.
Thanks in advance for any support and advice,
Mike
QuickMenu. It's almost perfect (almost).
I have problem with Quick Menu. When I press panel button, the panel selection screen only shows after I tap screen.
Doesn't Quickmenu lack the support for fast application switching as with the taskbar functionality in wkTASK and Magic Button?
(taskbar as kind of like in windows xp/vista).
i use pocket plus for tasks it fits my needs, and the programm at all is great on speed, functions and memory usage
I would like to easily switch between applications. For example to and between my agenda and browser during a phone call. Which application is best for this?
This is the best one that I've found. Amongst other things, allows you to manage all those hidden applications running. http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
i use wktask, quickmenu and fdcsoft taskmanager, all very different and have different uses.

PocketPlus comes w/ "alt-tab.exe" which does the same thing as your desktop.

Hey, i often use opera and messenger at the same time, i was wondering if its possible to switch between them easily.
You can try AE Button Plus and map hardware buttons to switch applications like <Alt>+<Tab>. Or you can map buttons to visual task switchers like TASK FACADE (Dynamo-3) and Visual Task Switcher. Or you can use task managers like WkTASK and activate running applications by tapping their icons in the title bar. I'm not sure if the task manager in QuickMenu has a similar function. Good luck!
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...
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
Like I mentioned in the title..I'm looking for a good task switcher that should be touch friendly and as close to windows alt tab and also a start menu replacement touch optimized like the one on diamond2. Please write your suggestions, it can be paid software too
i use this for my task switcher. I just mapped it to my long press key. it switches easily between apps, is skinnable, and you can easily close programs by just keeping your finger on a window (you can close as many windows at one time like this). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420220&highlight=gpslover
I use WkTASK, you can google it. It simulates the taskbar on windows desktop versions, which displays the running programs, and let you switch among them just by tapping on the icon.
And it's free.
Cmon man, search the threads and posts, the two best apps in my opinion are:
1. WKtask (I use it)
2. QuickTask (New release 2.8 just came out)
I would post the links, but yes, I''m an ass, search, your title of thread would have gave you an answer.
wktask is not too finger friendly and quicktask i cannot find anywhere...only solution for now seems task facade
Someone has ripped diamond2 start menu?
I think, it's not quicktask.
Quick menu 2.8:

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.
