Hey all, I had a problem with my screen tapping itself and got a replacement today.
On this one there is no Task Manager in the programs menu.
Anyone know why? and more so, where can i get it or something that does the same job.
Thanks
JAmes
James, what do you want your task manager to do?
There are a number that might fit the bill!
V
Start > Settings > Memory and there's a tab with your running programs.
Now not to be too off-topic, when I was delving into the registry I found a key which I wondered what it did. Perhaps there's a latent shortcut out there???
HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD> (D) TaskManVKey = 46
Looks like a taskmanager maybes???
Anyone know what this does?
Joe
Thanks for the reply.
Want it to close programs properly. I could do this through the start>setting>memory method. But i like that i could just go Start>TM and close things.
I tried magic button for a while, never really took to it. Still getting the Hang of the who PDA thing and its easiest if its just the windows programs, then i can see why I should be using the other ones

recon something funny is going on?

start>settings>today> items tab> check "batterNFO" is on
James,
Consider using a program like SmallMenu when you're more familiar with the device. I highly recommend it, and it has a task manager of sorts built in.
There are various freeware or cheap task managers around.
If you want to try something entirely unobtrusive, you can try my program called VJOkButt.

James, I have no particular experience with the O2 files, but I wonder if this is an O2 file. Have a quick shufty over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37909&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=age
Is that the same thing you're after?
V
That helps. Looks like the wee bells and whistles are only on the Basic install type instead of corporate. Might have to revert back to it, i just liked it begin a bit cleaner.
Thanks again
JAmes
James, if you're planning to revert to the O2 stuff, investigate the "extended rom" and then you can pick and choose the bits you want to install, instead of all the unnecessary gloop.
V
I plan on doing that as soon as I can be bothered
I've been reading through alot of the posts on it for the last week or so and shall give it a bash.
Thanks
JAmes
Vijay - is that reg entry I posted a hidden shortcut to the task manager?
Many thanks,
Joe
joebongo: I don't know if you've been reading about my attempts to hack the hardware keys on the universal, VJElectrify, but I came across these keys a couple of days ago. Searching the net, I can't find anything definitive on them, and hope someone else can help. The only thing I found that seems half relevant is this:
Code:
When the user presses the CTRL+ALT+END key combination, the Windows Thin Client Shell brings the shell UI to the foreground. To configure this key combination, set the following registry entries.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"DriverName"="Kbdmouse.dll"
"CalVKey"=DWORD:0
"ContLessVKey"=DWORD:0
"ContMoreVKey"=DWORD:0
"TaskManVKey"=DWORD:23
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...wce50conconfigurescreensaversinthinclient.asp
That seems to be a very bizarre place to put such an entry, but I can't find any other informative references. I don't imagine it does much, but the entry isn't mirrored on the PC so it's not vestigial AFAIK.

o2 do still install the Task Manager, even with their latest ROM, so perhaps your returned device has been configured in Corporate mode, rather than Basic mode.
If the o2 stuff has been installed from extended ROM, you'll find a folder:
"\Windows\Mobile Solutions\O2ActiveUI\Modules\TaskManager"
containing Task Manager. Other folders under ..\Modules\.. have the rest of o2's customisation.
o2's Battery icon is launched from the "\Windows\Startup\" folder, but you can instead enable the "standard" battery icon (next to the "radio button" icon) with a registry hack:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000001
@all
anyone know how to develop a two software in one appz..
i mean is "magic button + oxios memory"..or same appz..in one application..
that when you click the X button at the upright corner of our XDAs screen..it will really close the apps and then free-up memories..
i think it's a great idea for a new application in our xda..
thanks a lot..

serialzs, what you smokin' dude? You've been on this forum a year, posted almost a hundred times and you haven't seen any software that does this?

You know, Magicbutton already does this actually. Maybe you have an older version. Go upgrade.
Or if you have WM6 and find MagicButton looks like ****, then try wktask

i know what i post..have you read it and understand what i want to say??
or you just posting on without reading it..
btw..for your information the wktask or magic button doesnt really free-up memory it just closing appz..and it's not same as oxios memory..have you use it both at the same time?
click here < is this the appz are you saying..look at it on what it really does before you comment..what a i***t..
and i dont need your help just to say search in here..i need a programmer that can do this..in one application..have you read it

So to let the people understand it better:
You want something like Oxios CloseApps (closes all the apps and hibernates to recover some RAM) - though you want it in a form of a task manager - so it will close task or tasks according to your choice (one or all as in wktask, magic button, x button and all this stuff) and then it will try to silently reclaim the memory (it is not a cool to have a nagging info on reclaimed memory popping out everytime you close a program).
It is an interesting idea to put this functionality together in one app. Maybe you can write a feature request to the authors of these apps (waku listens to these and there are more developers with their own task managers in this forum - pBar and so on - try to persuade them - it should be easier to include new functionality than to build a task manager from scratch).
The problem may be to develop hibernation routine because I think oxios apps are not open source.
Just my two cents...
QUICK MENU has oxios hibernate-like option, and YES, it can close, what most programs cannot.
@serialzs,
Whoa. Damn man, sorry.
Its an easy mistake. When a program closes it frees up ram, so this is what I thought you were talking about. Just trying to help out.
Hope you find what you are looking for. I'm gonna go crawl back under my rock.
I found a really software that I want to share with everyone. Thanks to sundar_amn for this great find.
If you guys have seen the LG Prada or the LG Voyager phone, you will noticed that this plugin looks really nice with nice user interface. It might need a lil TWEAk to activate a few programs when pressing the buttons.
So far buttons that does not respond:
In Phone Menu: NewMMS
In Media Menu: Java Manager
In Utility: Voice Recorder brings up Task, instead of Voice Recorder
In Settings Menu: Backlight, USB Stick, Bluetooth, and Power does not respond.
If anyone can tweak this, it would be a great plugin. I'm trying to see through registry and other ways but could not find it.
Also, Software that is packaged into the plugin are PocketCM, GSFinder+, and GSAlarmClock.
FYI: Don't know who the real Author of this app though, but thanks
I installed it great theme but i need to know if someone can make a configuration file for this. i want to mainly add new icons/programs n change program paths. thanks in advance
Thats really one of the best plugins for the today screen that i know.
As long as there is no tool to configure it, i cant use it anyway...
Could someone please build that?
I love the fact thats its fingerfriendly!
thanx
02 plus
I also found an awesome plugin on this site. its called 02 plus, I love it, you can add several pages of icons and all the pages are easily accessabe by named tabs. the ONLY problem i have with it is my dialer pops up randomly.Especially after downloading,installing or changing programs. its such a handy tool im willing to live with the glitch but if anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!!! if anyone is interested in it here is the .cab for it. thanks in advance for any help given.
Hey, I am new to this whole changing stuff on your phone and tweaking it and all that. Now i see you guys have posted files. Do I only need to put the file on my phone and it will work or how do I do it?

ya iv had my htc touch for about 6 months now and I was definatly a newbie when I got it. they are very addictive. there's way to much to try to explain in one place. if you have any specific ?s feel free to PM me and ill help any way I can.
So what is the latest version of this software out? because i see a few out right now and want the latest version.
When i press contacts it opens up pocket cm 13 when i have pocketcm 23!
when i installed this on my mogul i had the home screen customizer running right.
but when i installed this it took it off and instead of this appearing on the bottom of the screen its on the top
any ideas of whats wrong
hey everyone,
i have used the forum search and i have found a few answers to this but i want to see if there are any others that i over looked,
i so far have used Icontact, and i am using the free version of Finger friendly friends currently
I liked I contact but i dont like how it gets rid of my start and Exit bars while i am in it.
and FFF i like alot but i dont think its worth the $15 for the full version
what i am basicly looking for is a Free contact manager, that i can use easily with my fingers and still keeps my start menu and X button accessible
I use iContact, but it doesn't keep the start menu and x button accessible, but if you click on the top right, it still acts like the x button...
Use Icontact Burt Edition,
really fast and great UI.
tried PocketCM ?
Have you tried Pocket CM ? Since I have very little use for contact management, I simply use the default WM app. But I really like Image Viewer from PocketCM, and suspect that PCM's Contact Manager might also be a good app. It doesn't seem to have a start button. However, it's skinable and if you can learn the code to write your own settings.ini file, you can have just about whatever you might want. Oh, and it is freeware. Check it out, here:
http://pocketcm.com/contact.php
i had tried pocketCM and it also didnt do the start menu, but it also seemed to want to reroute all of my SMS messages into its own program rather than using the one native to the device, and i really liked the look of the
Contact manager product but i could only find the download of the pocketCM version.
i'm sorry if i am too picky for you guys, but i really just want to find the one that works best for me
I'm using iContact (Burt's edition), and it includes a configuring shortcut, where you can re-enable the default WinMo taskbar/start menu. Hope it works for you, I'm a big fan of iContact (the kinetics seem very smooth on my Vogue).
Edit: and iContactBE is fully skinnable, too, there's some very nice ones out there. Keep in mind the skin must be for Burt's edition (BE).
so i downloaded burton edition
and i must say this is exactly what i was looking for i re-skined it and its perfect, thank you all for your help
Hi Forum and Hi to all users, developers and mods,
Well am facing a problem with my HTC P3452 Elf 100
When ever I tap on the screen or open any application, a invisible window opens up and closes, by invisible I mean I can only see something opening up or closing I guess that one of any program that I might have un-installed has left its running state and is causing this, can I fix it with something
Like do I have to work with regedit or something else to fix this issue
Please help guys........
Hi
Try first to navigate to Windows/Startup and see if there's some unneeded shortcut, if it's the case remove it (or copy to somewhere else) and restart.
If you have fdcsoft task manager (you should) run it and see what's running in the background. You can't just go to the registry if you don't know what you're looking for anyway.
Good luck
Thanks a ton
