Duttys Task Manager for Leo or Touch X Taskmanger? - HD2 General

I would like to install a TaskManager in my Leo stock WWE ROM.
What're the differences between these two taskmanagers? They look like the same.
I read somewhere that this taskmanager makes the device slower and battery life shorter. Is it true?
Thank you.
ReX

Dutty's task manager didn't work for me, but the Touch X one did. That's the reason I used that particular one.

Touch X, people have had problems with Dutty's (can't uninstall for one), whereas the Touch X one is perfect (and can be removed if any undesirable consequences rear their head).

But it's true that after installing this taskmanager the device become slower? Today I see that Igo takes more time to start but maybe it's a placebo effect of what I read...

I have Dutty's and I have just uninstalled it (to make sure I could, now to reinstall it). I think it is great (doesn't slow anything down from what I can see) my only issue is that it doesn't show Comm Manager or Active Sync in Dutty's.

I've not tried anything other than Touch X but it works very well.
Man, I really love this phone

I tried both but prefer to stick to the original taskmanager which I choose to use Dutty's task manager.

Ok after having been running Dutty's for the last 2 months, then reading this thread I thought i'd give Touch X a go to compare the two...........
Uninstalled Dutty's, installed Touch X and nothing appeared in the task bar, did a couple of soft resets to be sure, so then reinstalled Dutty's and thats not working now either!! LOL
What have I done??

i'm sorry if i'm asking something I shouldn't..... but can somebody please point me in the right direction to download the cab file for Touch X Task Manager
I found it somewhere last week... installed it..... been very helpful
But i've had to do a hard-reset.. and foolishly I didn't save any of the tweaks/cabs/updates I installed.... so now i'm trying to find and d/l them all again
Touch X Task Man is the only thing I can't find so far
If not allowed to post links directly in here, please feel free to PM me a link......
Any help much appreciated

Sure is Dutty's Task Manager and Touch X Task Manager the same? Sure loks like it! However, what I noticed is that Dutty's starts much faster on boot.

Hi, just what to share,after installing Dutty's Task Manager on my HD2 i noticed it low's battery fast and effect the profermance, so i prefer to use built-in one.

Hm.. I tried an a-b test. I removed Dutty's TM, did a soft reset, full charge, then noted battery usage. Over not quite 7.5 hours - phone on, but no calls received - the battery went down to about 94%.
I then installed Dutty's TM, changed nothing else. I did start a couple of apps, switched among them with DTM, killed one of them, just to be sure that all of DTM's major functionality had been exercised. Then after another 6 hours, the battery had dropped to 88%.
So I don't see that DTM is increasing the battery load.
I will note that the HD2 seems to share a flaw with my previous HTC phone, the TyTN II: After using a GPS-aware app such as iNav's iGuideance or Google Maps, the GPS receiver is apparently not turned off unless you power the phone down (pressing and holding the red button). And the GPS drains battery like crazy. Perhaps the previous poster had GPS, or some similar once-on-always-on battery drainer, going on at the same he or she was testing DTM?

Too buggy...not enough features and definitlely not worth 14.99 considering there are 'free' solution here that are much more feature packed...sorry ...try again go back to the drawing board.
too much memory usage and no way to really close it without soft reset.
bug, bugs, bugsssss
Afther 20 minutes of configuring.....bug
Again 15 minutes of configuring.........again a bug
They want have me tree times....for 14.99$....this is not worth it.
Its just a rip off of htc cube. Im surprise this company is getting away with selling this since it is so close to htc's cube. Besides Between Byka's and slithers cubes. we are all good.
Not many touch flo solutions for us TyTN Hermes users though... I've been up and down this board today and yesterday tring to get something that works and is easy... TouchFLO alpha 4 and real cube isnt bad but it has to run with the flash lite program, and swiching between scrolling and launching with touch flow is rather annoying... very small icon to tap to switch, and its right next to my connection profile.
If someone can show me an easier way to get something similar to this on a Hermes I'd be glad to try. Because yes this version does suck...
My 8125 worked perfect with TNT's touch flow rom and cube... I miss that.

Agree with ljinsane, after twenty mins of testing the app, I ran touch flo and it broke the app., exception error and even after a SR and touch flo not running it would not start again.
also found it very slow, much prefer PocketCm and Byka's Cube.
I rather use my rom...

It works great, you can edit your links on Touchcommander, and i linked it to FTouchFlo so when i use DownUp it starts Touchcommander, ist just like having the real thing.....
is it still have a lot of bugs or no?? is it same application with slither have? the ftuchflo?
it really sux...it looks ugly...maybe its better with this nice animations, but right now its only 0815...
This Touch Commander app is lame.. but I'm sure it will get better with revisions. I personally like the open and close transitions from and to the today screen, something you can't achieve with Flash Cube imitations.

Anyone have a fix?

HELP!!!
I purchased the 3.0 and it has soooooo many bugs and things I didn't wan that just sucked the life out of my device like battery indicator and htc home screen ect.....then I downloaded the new 3.1 which said it fixed the bugs I had complained about but didnt and in fact made my device crash so I had to hard reset. How I was suggested by their customer support to download an ealier version so I downloaded 2.0. It is exactly what I wanted and I am so happy but now I cannot register it. My registration code doesn't work for the 2.0.
My question to all of you on here is if anyone is interested in switching registration codes???? I will give you this code for 3.0 which also works for 3.1 if you give me your code for 2.0. I have contacted their support asking them for one with no response. I need this ASAP!!! Thanks and just shoot me a message if your interested!!!

touchFLO manila2D turns off

I have upgraded my htc elf0100 to 6.1,but now that new touchFLO manila2D eats up too much RAM memory and I think that is the reason why it every now and then turns off and I have to tap the screen to start it again. Is there any tips and tricks I can do in regisrty to decrese memiry usage,maybe prevent some background processes I don't need etc....thnx
Dam it - I was going to give the upgrade a go but if it eats up memory then I will not bother. The only thing to get back memory is check whats running and shut stuff down but it dont sound too good to me. When i tried M2D on my Touch it ran like a right dog and was way to slow to use. I posted about this but no one replied about memory problems and slow down, i think people get carried away by the eye candy and forget that its runnig at half its previous speed.
Sorry i cant help you - anybody else done the rom upgrade and had issues?
Try "a touch of hd" by kwabbernootje is a great rom and until now i find it the fastest m2d app. working i already gave tess a try but is still slower.......

[Q] Got new Touch HD - Now what?

Hello to all,
I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.
This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.
It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.
PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.
Grats on the purchase. Where did you buy it from?
That's some fine English for it not being your first language.
Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, although I've had my HD for a few days now. I'm just getting to grips with it, and am now at the point where I feel like I should play around with ROMs. Haven't a clue where to start though, but have had a good read of the wiki.
Good luck with it, and enjoy it.
Welcome to HD world !
Here is my list of applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017
As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.
But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.
Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.
I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.
Good luck and enjoy !

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.
First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.
After that I configured all the settings to my liking.
Installed all HTC Fixes.
Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:
- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)
- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)
- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)
- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)
- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)
- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)
- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)
- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)
- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)
- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though )
- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)
- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)
+ some theme customization and such
Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips
Wow this forum is certainly very active and helpful.
Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work )
@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.
PS. any further comments/suggestions/sharing of experience are still welcome

Please can you give me the link for wiki on how to install duttys 1.7 rom? Will I lose everything that's installed on my HTC HD if I install a new rom?
Also, do you only ever install 1 rom at a time, or can you have more than one? Sorry if that's a really stupid question...
Thank you.

Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM . There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.

Where are the programs?

Hi guys,
Ive downloaded Touch-ITs very good touch flo and so started to download other programs. So far ive done the keyboard and that works a treat.
Problem is ive downloaded the mp3 trimmer and social network engine installed them but cant find them anywhere...how do i access them? can these be used as tabs on the touchflo screen as i really like the interface?

mp3trimmer already comes WITH itje's rom. no need to install it again. which "social network engine" are you talking about?
you'll find all programs if you click "start" (upper left) and then "all programs" (lower left).
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154 to get the cabs and installed them. Cant find the option to trim MP3s at all. and i downloaded the Touch-It Blackstone Social Network engine. Any ideas?
Im hoping that by downloading the engine that the social networking sites would pop up under the internet tab where youtube is...you know where i mean?
oh, my mistake. you installed the cab and not his rom with manila cooked in...
okay, i'm sorry, but i never used stock rom with manila-cab. but i can tell you this:
- manila works best if cooked in, use a custom rom (i.e. itje's touch-it v.10. but there are many good roms, have a look in the rom-developing-part)
- the cab you used is from november 2008, there's a newer version out now
- "social engine": never saw it in the internet tab, it connects your contacts with a corresponding facebook-friend.
so, bottom line:
programs should show where i told you above, even in the cab i think. and: manila as a cab is slow, cooked-in it flies these days.

I am LOST, however up for installing whatever makes it run that little bit smoother! I like the look of manila i am using now but if there is an upto date one then i can give that a go.
I havent found the ROM you suggested but will keep looking, the first thread i came across (the main one) seems to have the download links removed, any ideas?
Thanks so far mate, youve been a star
Ahhhh think i have found the ROM now just waiting for the file to download now for the installation...

typing this from my mobile, so to keep it short:
- you need to apply "hard-spl" first to flash a custom rom (it's a sticky)
- if you're flashing itje's v.10.2, be aware that there is a bug for some people with sending sms. i NEVER had it though. also you'll need to apply 2 or 3 fixes.
- READ READ READ!
if you're going to flash ANY custom rom you'll have to learn a lot. "just install and everything's perfect" won't work. and everytime you flash a new rom you'll loose all data on your phone, so make backup first!!!
if you're willing to get into this - do it. it's worth it and it will really improve your x1. if you want to have everything working out of the box with many restrictions - apple makes such a device...
Ill let you know how i get on, im just loading 10.2 now so we shall see

hope you did a backup of your data - if not, don't come yelling if it's all gone...
edit: the fixes needed
since the thread on v10 is pretty much to read (it started as v7...), for starters the 3 fixes needed with this version.
- Advanced Network (found in itje's first post, under the dl-link for the rom itself)
- "v10.2_corrected_highlights.zip" (also posted by itje, somewhere in the thread, search for it)
extract the files in these two zips to your \windows-directory (on your x1) with total commander (comes with the rom)
- v10.2_smaberg_1_percent_battery.cab (install normally. this fixes a bug that the battery-meter always shows 100% full. alternatively you could install another icon-set from this forum. watch out if they're for WinMob 6.1 or 6.5 though!)
the cooked-in build of opera mobile 9.5 doesn't work with the hardware-keyboard of xperia. either install build 16194 (iit's from an official x1-rom) or try opera mobile 9.7 beta.
every other question you should ask in the thread of the rom you've chosen.
this should set you up, from here on it's all tweaking, lots of reading, learning and adding apps to your likeness.
i have a problem like this one: i installed the touch it manila cab and then i installed the touch it htc album but... i cannot find the program... what do i have to do?
EDIT: ok i found two exe files in the windows folder wich are : HTCAlbum.exe and AlbumSearch.exe, and when i run each of them i have HTC Album... btw the problem is that i have no text in the menus... what may be the problem?
Thanks for all the advice guys...im installed and up and running and so far so good, no issues at all, the sms seems to be working fine etc.
Ill apply the fixes as noted so far as and when i come across the issues!
Cheers again all

Taskmanagement on HD2?

When I start a program on the HD2 it stays active untill I go to Setting - Other - Taskmanagement and deactivate all.
On my previous HD I had a setting where I could choose to deactivate the program when I choose the [x] on the upperright of the screen. Now there is no possibility to do such a thing and to go to [Setting]-[Other]-[Taskmanagement] each time is not my prefered way of working...
Does anyone knows how to do this on HD2?
Thanks!
I think there should be a taskmaneger settings where you can set on "x" button to close programs not just minimalize. I had it in my TP2 with leo rom i think.
nope, there isnt one.
you need to use the taskmanager
install Showcase, that is similar app... tha press and hold right upper corner...

not as handy as the quick menu like the HD but this works fine for me

Leo (HD2) comes without HTC Task Manager and this is why you don't have the option to close apps by using "X"
You can install the HTC Task Manager by cab and you will get this functionality.

gps fix is made within in a minute.
with my hd1 it took like 2 or 3 minutes before i've got a fix
I don't know the reason and don't see it causing problems. I'm using it on my ROMs and there are no problems with it.
Probably because HD2 has bigger RAM HTC has thought that it's better to leave apps open on the phone...this way they open faster
I don't have the cab, but you can search on the forums.

If you don't like Showcase, or for whatever other reason, another option is MobileSRC's Flipper (http://www.mobilesrc.com/flipper.aspx). It's got other features besides a task manager (you need to purchase the app if you want to use more than two features at a time), but I've found it works perfectly well as a free task manager.
I don't know how it'll work with the HD2, though, as I'm still waiting mine to arrive, but the app works fine with my TP2.
It's weird that HTC removed the Task Manager. Ok it's a "beast" and can run lots of apps at the same time, but the task manager was a nice way to close apps we don't want open.
This should work.
