Until WM 6.5.1, it was possible to end/kill apps by touching the X-button. I'm talking about the "End programs by tapping X" option on this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This option is available in the current 6.5.1 rom i'm using on my Diamond, but it doesn't work. When running the taskmanager, i can see apps running in the background which should be closed. I tried several 6.5.1 roms, but they all have this "problem", so it isn't related to the rom i'm using at the moment.
Is it possible to get this to work on a 6.5.1 rom (perhaps with a 3rd party tool)? I know there are tools that can kill all running apps, but i think it's easier when they automatically ends when tapping the X-button.

It's a known issue with 6.5.1 - There is no way to fix it however Showcase will do what you want plus some more nifty things. You can find it over in development and hacking.
Luckily, holding down the X button will still fully close out the programs. It takes another second to close apps, but it does the job. Showcase is also helpful :]
Showcase does what you want, no need to tap and hold, just change the registry key to close on tap.

Well, which registry key??? You could be a little more informative, I guess.

I know Wisbar will list running applications on the top status bar, but I don't have wisbar. Is there a similar way to switch between running tasks without going back to Programs and re-launch the app?
Thanks.
There are some alt+tab applications out there that you can map to a key and switch between them (just like on a computer).
No need to install anything... From any application, press the [HOME] key (the house icon next to the 'pick up the phone' icon on the bottom of the phone) and that'll take you back to the TF3D home screen. Then, tap the upper right icon, which, assuming you haven't changed much, should be the task manager. A list of running apps will drop down. Just tap an application and it will come up and be active.
Hope this helps...

Thanks all for replies.
I just found a freeware tool WkTask that does exactly what I am looking for. Also, it has the ability to exclude tasks that you don't want to show up on the task bar such as ActiveSync, Gyrator...

This is also done by the default task manager of HD. Just press the icon that has three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the screen and select the wrench icon.
Or you could use apps developed by the clever guys here at XDA-Developers...

I use the AE Button Plus task manager/action menu, you can assign it to a button and cycle through the open apps. simple and effective.

i've searched in the programs directory the executable file of a single panel, for example 3d-fish panel, but in the directory i've founded only .dll without .exe...
what's the method to start a panel from a shortcut? what command i must launch?
tnx
nothing?
i must put an argumentto panelManager.exe?
I don't actually think that's possible, as panels are run from within an application (exe). They're not supposed to be used seperately. It's like trying to watch a movie in notepad, just not designed to work there.
Unless someone feels like making it, ofcourse.
for example, XperiaTweak can launch a panel from our choice automatically, then i suppose it use a command but what command?? i don't find it!!

I believe that XperiaTweak uses it own extra software to launch the panel of choice.
Yeah the Xperia Tweak probably sets a command to press the X-Panel button, and then it tells the X-Panel software which panel to chose.

I think so too, as Xperiatweak also shows the LED lights that are associated with pressing the panel button.
However you simply want to run the application right ? Then ask Pubba ! He made EXEs which wrap media and radio panels. It should be easy with any other panel. Maybe even generic panel launcher could be made.
His EXEs are posted here (look for 'Pubba'):

Hi,
I'm running Justhome WM6.5 Alpha on my Wing. I downloaded the cab for BatteryStatus for the purpose of overclocking my phone. Down load seemed to go fine, but when I click on the icon in the Startup menu...it comes up and says it is disabled, and do I want to enable it? I choose yes and it does nothing. I have no display in the home screen and doesn't seem to be any way to enable it. Would appreciate if anyone knows what may be the problem or what I can do. Did several searches and can't find anyone else having this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Batterystatus only works with the normal WinMo homescreen, not Titanium. What you need todo is go into settings and make the theme back to Windows Mobile Default or whatever it ISN'T when your homescreen is Titanium. Then try running batterystatus again.
Ok....thanks for the info. It appears this rom only came with the one homescreen. If I go find and download an OEM homescreen and turn it on and set the overclock where I want, can I then change back to this current screen without messing things up again? It seems I've seen Batterystatus running on the homescreen of other roms (windows wing). Is it just Titanium that it has a problem with? Thanks much for you help!
Well, the reason that it won't run on a Titanium homescreen if because of the way that plugins are supported. Titanium requires plugins to be written a certain way, and likewise the default homescreen requires that they be written a different way.
And no, you can't install an OEM homescreen, start BS, then change it...when you change the homescreen, whatever plugins enabled on that particular homescreen is unloaded from RAM and exited.
I use ahen taskbar

show status battery: 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95.. etc..
BS is a completely different program, it allows you to overclock your device.
ashasaur.....Do you know of an overclocking program that will work with the Justhome rom? I seem to remember another program (cab) that started with an "O". Sorry I'm new to this...I have read through 3 days of the forum trying to educate myself and become familiar with the terminology. Guess I'm deleting batterystatus. Ahhh....OMAP, I believe it is? Thank you again for your prompt replies!
Yeah, just use OMAPclock, it will do the same thing that battery status does, but DO NOT set your processor over 247MHz, doing so can damage your processor.
I'll give that a whirl, Thanks!
Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my HTC TD2 form WM 6.1 to 6.5
After reading the instructions from the official site, I've succesfully (as I thought) installed the 6.5 version on my htc
Unfortunately, after this, I realised that the Quick Menu icon and the Task Manager tab from the Settings menu have been vanished
I tried everything to bring them back (including many hard resets) but nothing worked - the quick menu icon is still missing
I dunno what else to do, should I downgrade my phone back to 6.1 or there's a solution to make this quick menu/task man. work again...
Do you mean the program Quick Menu? or are you referring to the task manager?
I mean this icon on the upper right of the screen
http img13.imageshack.us/img13/5287/iconhf.png
It's completely gone and I can't find any way to make it appear again..
WM6.5 has replaced the task manager with the drop down menu.
You can install another task manager but it will be difficult to access as you have to hit just the very edge of the taskbar and the "X" will not display.
An alternative would be to run the program QuickMenu which provides an alternate start menu and has built in task manager, but it resides on the left instead of the right.
Excuse me for not being so clear.. It's quite late in the evening here in Greece
youtube.com/watch?v=BlRpUaHzvK4&feature=related
In this vid you see that the Quick Menu (this is how it is referred in the manuals) is located on the upper right of the screen (most times next to the battery meter) , and when you click on that it'll open a drop down menu with the Programs name and and X next to it (so that you can close any program quickly)
After I upgraded my phone, this is completely gone, and next to the battery meter there's nothing (just a small empty space), and I can't find any way to make it appear again. Even after 5 hard resets, this problem still persists
Should I downgrade to get it back or there's a way to fix it?..
No, you were clear and I understand what your issue is.
I have enclosed a taskmanager that will work, but as I previously stated, it probably will not display as it used to and will be hard to access.
I have since switched to using a program called QuickMenu that will display all of your running programs and can be closed from the menu, same way as it does in a taskmanager. Its just sits on the left of the taskbar and not the right.
Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear.
I see..
It was a good feature, I can't really understand why it was removed.. Anyway
Where I can get this QuickMenu program you use?
Thanks for your answers, you've been very helpful

Hello
I was making one application that would resemble more Android-like design: keyboard on the bottom, the main soft keys above it.
Well that is not possible to do both system-wide, but one half of that is. To move your keyboard to the total bottom of the screen, just edit registry:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip:
DefaultMenuBarHeight=dword:0
MenuBarHeight=dword:0
what happens after reboot is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Advantages? Extra 64px (on WM6.5.3 and similar) of screen, no useless soft keys in these occasions.
Now, how do you hide the keyboard? Just, as on Android, press BACK key (on HD2 tested, TP2 and TD2 should work the same I suppose, but make backup first ).
Regards, OndraSter
Update: it seems that it doesn't work on all ROMs. I was using CRACIN's HD2 ROM, where it worked. I now flashed GTX Energy ROM and it doesn't work. Weird.
There is no DefaultMenuBarHeight in Sip there is only MenuBarHeight.
I'm using htc touch2. How can i do this? Thanks
This is dependant on the ROM and SIP itself. Try changing the MenuBarHeight itself if it isn't enough.
Btw, this won't work with any newer position fix - like ultrashot's uTask, since it tries to fix the keyboard too.
Heyi tried to change the MenuBarHeight and it was okey then but pressing back button make me go to the homescreen so it isn't for me. Thanks anyway dude great job.
Appearantly Touch 2 works different than Leo
You're right !
Having disabled Utask's position fix feature, I was able to move the SIP vertical position to anywhere I wanted !
The DefaultMenuBarHeight value can be manually added (I did), provided it has any actual effect.
Unfortunately, the Back button generally applies to the current app rather than to the keyboard, that sometimes even stays open (it actually depends on the app ! ), so it can't be used straight on.
But there are a lot of alternatives, such as remapping a hardware key with AEButton plus (now freeware), for instance.
This nice trick should probably be best used with a SIP featuring it's own closing button, such as FingerKeyboard (though it already has an option to overlap the softkeybar in landscape mode, and since it's fully customizable, you should be able to setup the vertical offset in portrait too, regardless of the actual registry values).
