This seems to work quite well on the TP2
What is this? Are there any prerequisites?

It's the task manager from the new Xperia X2.
After further investigation, it does seem to work ok. It's just that tapping the 'X' when a program is running actually quits the program after installing the X2 CAB.

LOL! I've confused you, sorry. I didn't explain myself very well.
Yes, in the task manager clicking the "X" is supposed to stop a program. I was talking about the "X" in the top right-hand corner when a program is running as can be seen in this pic. Before installing this task manger, clicking it minimised a program - now it quits it.

Ah, this is just too great!
Thank you very much for posting that handy program
I found it to be far more reliable and faster than HTCs original task manager ... at least on my phone ^^

Instead of hacking the registry, you can also set that directly in the Task Manager.
Start > Settings > System > Task Manager. On the Button tab, choose "Enable the "X" button to end running programs"
thank you, I will try it.
Great App !! Really nice and faster as the Original HTC Taskmanager !!!

I thought the point of it was to change the "x" to mean "shutdown" rather than minimise.I installed it and then tried facebook only to click the x and find it still showing up in taskmanager.
I can see that it has added a little icon top right with a drop-down arrow and this lists the open apps with an x by them to close.
So how is that any different to what I had before?
click on the task manager icon in top right of screen and a few more icons appear...one looks like a spanner... click this to change settings so programs will close instead of minimise.
Also, try to soft reset after install.
Aha thanks. It was set to "long press to close" by default. Have switched it to short-tap-close and it works now

Hello,
It is really annoying that every time i close a program by pressing the top right X, the program just minimizes but not really closes...
This leaves a dozen progs open in the background all the time wish I don't need any more...
Can't the X button be set so It really closes the app in stead of minimizing it?
Thx

you need to go into the options of duttys task manager and set it to close instead of minimise when you hit x.
Thing is, I don't see any icon or menu referring to it. Nothing that indicates the app is installed, besides in the list to remove it.

start an application (opera for instance) and then hit the home screen button... the app will still be running and what you should now see is three little white bars in the top right corner of your home screen. That is Duttys task manager... click on it and you will see what apps are currently running as well as icons for options.
No white bars to be found...
Hmmm the version I found states 2.1.1918 but I looked and I have 2.5.1921?..

Most apps close now by pressing X, only active sync and com manager don't want to shut down by pressing X, any ideas why?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Check nº82
They are in the list of exclusive apps. You need to do the opposite of what says in tip 82, removing the apps you want to from the list...
Try this. I am using it and it closes all apps with the X button 100%. At first it looks complex, but if you install all three files it is easy to setup. It also gives you options of an extra function of your choice if you hold down the X and the Windows soft button.

Sir Phunk have you seen anything on the boards about disabling or turning off vibration during call waiting? I'm running Core Cell V3 ROM and when you are in a call and get another the handset vibrates which 1.) Isn't pleasant to your ear, 2.) Whoever you are talking to can hear it really loud. Figured you might now, thanks ahead of time...
Nevermind, found it on the boards
I have another question related to vibration on the HD2. This has been asked before, in another thread, but has anybody found a solution to the stuck vibration issue? I usually get it from time to time through e-mail notification vibration. It will vibrate in pulses 3 times. On the third time it will hang until I press a hard button. This is very annoying, and I have disabled the notification vibrate for now.

Honestly, no, I don't know off the top of my head where that setting is, I might have guessed in the notifications settings? I'm curious to hear what you found out...
I have several apps which work fine on phone.
They also run on the tablet - BUT there is no menu icon, neither at the bottom next to the 3 standard ones, nor is there a menu icon in the upper right corner. There is no menu icon.
So I wonder if someone has a trick to send a "menu pressed" signal to the app so i can access the settings.
I know i know, tell them to update their apps, but some people have left and others will take years to fix that if ever -
So i thought perhaps there was some sort of shortcut or perhaps hack which could make a menu appear? You know like you can record keypresses on a PC and then play them back.
The soft menu button on the screen works fine for me, its the 4th icon (Series of lines, top one one is longest) - same goes for the menu button that's on the keyboard.

It also works for me when they are there. But they are NOT THERE for the apps in question.
I think you got this backwards,
The menu button will only appear if the app has a settings menu.
Majority of the Honeycomb optimized apps do not have a menu button because there either isn't no menu for that app or they have moved the menu button to the action bar on the top right, which is the new standard
The settings button is primarily used for backwards compatibility with older apps. This is why developers are removing the menu buttonwhen they optimize their app.

Some apps on the phone will scale differently on a tab, if you used the menu button n your phone doesn't necessarily mean the tablet version will need a hard menu button.
As I said before, if there is no menu button the bottom nav bar, it would be on the top right corner of the action bar. Older phone apps should show up a menu button automatically anyway. The only reason if there isnt one is that the developer chose so because they added one on the action bar.

+1 for this helpful comment. I am also looking for this as I have an Asus Eee Tranformer without the dock and cannot setup SetCPU app on my tab.
On the note 2, you can turn any app into a folder (ie: angry birds into a game folder), by hold, drag, drop into a folder category.
I've tried several methods and searched the topic, but can't find anything for the G2 - is it even possible?
