A while back I flashed a ROM that had a nifty task manager on the bottom right hand side of the screen beside all the normal COM5 style menu buttons. I really liked this feature. I had to change the background color of the task manager, but otherwise it was very useful and perfectly complimented windows mobile operations.
Eventually I had to move on from the ROM (mainly because I am a flash junkie, and couldn't go for more than 2 weeks without trying something new). However, I don't see any other ROMs with that very nifty feature and I was wondering why not? I was also wondering if anyone knew what the task manager was called, and whether or not it can be installed properly after flashing other 23563 ROMs?
The ROM with the task manager is:
Flashmore_23563_2.11-Base_WWE_V6.1b
Finally, to all the chefs out there: This seemed like a fantastic task manager, perhaps you guys could give it a look.
Thanks.

A friend just purchased a Touch and I got a chance to mess around with it.
After about 2 hours of searching and looking there is only one thing I now want on my mogul, Quick Menu.
It allows you to quickly close programs that are currently running in the back ground and it is accessible right from the top menu bar.
It's called HTC Task Manager and you will find it here along will all other HTC apps. I highly suggest the photo album! Also if you want the cube on your Titan, try this install which runs smoothly.
HTC X-Button programs
This is the program you're asking for... it allows u to completely close a program either by tapping or tapping & holding the x-button. It also gives u a drop down menu when you're at the today screen that allows you to see what programs are running and close them that way. Version 2.0 adds icons to the drop down list.

if i wan to install the cube on my atomlife can i do it?
Thanks for the help guys.
I searched and searched but could not come up with the program name.
Hi there,
I just upgraded to a wm6.5 rom with s2u2 preinstalled, so I tried it and am pretty happy not having to search for the unlock button anymore.
I installed the tPRO2 skin and set the same wallpaper as in tf3d, so it looks a bit like part of the system.
I've still got two problems:
I'm used to do multitasking, for example when browsing with Opera I sometimes press the home key and start word mobile or such to look up passwords etc. Usually, I'd be able to switch back to the running opera with the tf3d task list, but on this rom, leaving an application immediately kills it. I made sure it's not just the tf3d task list by looking up the running programs with the wm task manager. When s2u2 kicks in, the running applications are left alone. Does anyone have an idea what causes the programs to be killed?
Second, I'd like s2u2 to only show the unlock bar instead of the tf3d slider. This way, it would look much more like a part of the system - is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: the rom is NmLs v1.5.1, i just found out this is tf3d2 beta. haven't seen any changes so far, but the rom thread says so.
I'd like to see the numbers on which task manager you xda'ers like.
For me I like the original one in the upper right hand corner. It seems like every time I use a ROM with the hidden one in the upper left hand corner, not every program closes, thus leaving my phone laggy. So I find myself making a shortcut button to the task manager or using clean RAM every few hours.
Should not be in the ROM development section!
My favorite would be WkTask, followed by pBar. They are not in the poll
Well I figured users that flash custom roms would only look in this area thus be the best demographic for the above question, creating the best data.
Or I could rephrase the question with "which roms do you like better, the one with hidden task manager.......
whatever moderators move where you think is most relevant.
Hi
I Still feel for ROM's up to WM 6.5 build best task manager is pbar. It shows you time and
battery% on taskbar,
lets you control BT, Wifi, Phone Status,
is an RAm battery system properties indicator and
Shortcut launcher up to say 8-9 shortcuts even.
But with versions of WM 6.5.1 to 6.5.3, where start button and controls from top have been shifted to bottom, I find WKTASK better.
best task manager ummm..
well i havent tried pbar(ill look into it) but so far i have really like WkTask manager gives you that great pc experience. Ive been using it since i had the mogul(titan) on sprint and now use it on my tp2.. just love it
I hate touchflo 3d,i am using spb mobile shell,it has its own task manager,it's great,very much finger friendly.
you can use shellextension to make spb task manager bacome one of buttons at the bottom.
it's great!
Does anyone know that this program is on my task bar. I'm not sure what it is. I thought It was Touch X Taskmanager but it looks different than the last version I installed on it. It also seems to be conflicting with my time display. I know it seems silly but I don't go around installing random things without knowing what they are. Thanks
I believe that is Dutty's HTC Task Manager.
Unless of course you're referring to something else... then I'm completely at a loss.
When I go to settings -> system -> remove programs, I dont see Dutty's. I DO see Touch X Taskmanager though. When I try to remove it, it says "Touch X Taskmanager was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?" I click yes, and then it just goes to the bottom of the program list.
I'm pretty positive that's Dutty's, I don't have Dutty's, but just plain ol HTC Task Manager. same Icon, different drop down set.
I actually found a cab of Dutty's on my SD card so you guys are probably right. I'll keep searching for a way to remove it. It just looks so ugly and I hate that it overlaps with my time. But thanks.
Hello everyone,
can someone tell me that by clicking "X" in an app my HD2 will finally close programs and will not keep them running in the background...!?
In my ROM (2013/6.5.3) there is no feature in the settings area as in former times to enable or disable it. Is there any registry hack?
Thx in advance.
Nobody any clue??
Install Dutty's task manager and it will add that option to your control panel.
Another option is WKTask. It hasn't been updated for a long time and looks like the author has lost interest, but it works fine with 6.5 and even 6.5.3. Just disable the skin (which draws its own OK or X button on the task bar) - you will not loose any functionality.
Isn't there any registry solution?
Dutty's Task Manager didn't as it is not compatible with 6.5.x. The setting was added but didn't affect anything...
Try the TouchX task manager. Both Dutty's or that have always worked for me, so you may still have the 6.5.5 compatibility issue, but I've never heard of that before.
For windows mobile 6.5.x try this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618300" its works great
In fact I do not want a task manager. I just want to close programs and not minimize them. There must some kind of registry hack for that...

No! There is none. You need a programm that runs in background/as a process which monitors the x-button and closes programms. Its just like that.
BTW. WKTask and Opera 10 dont work together. Try installing WKTask and got to landscape in Opera10. The device will crash. Can anybody please confirm this as i still love WKTask (Im on RTTs RTMi 5 ROM with 6.5.3 and Sense 2013) --> Thanks guys
I want something like this too. I came from an iPhone, so excuse my noobness but when you hit the HOME key it closes a program out, not run in the background. I want to be able to hit 'X' at the top and it closes the program out, not run in the background. I just cant believe nobody has made a run around, a .cab or reg edit for this. I hate having a slow HD2 because the proccess keep piling up.

I never said there is no solution. Theres just no way via the registry. You will need one of the millions of taskmanagers out there. I recommend Ameba (close via tapping x, minimize via holding x) in combination with ArkSwitch (complete Taskmanager, can be opened via tapping left part of the taskbar or long press sendkey). The best and most stable solution in my opinion.

Forget the iphone they invent now the multitasking....
Get one task manager and a ram cleaner(optional) and go with multitasking!!!!
You will get used of it
Take a look at Wisbar: great program, great developer and a excelant support
Hi,
i have got a contrary problem.
My running programs do not stay in the Backround.
Mostly, if i push the home or back-key, my HD2 closes the actual program. The program is in backround for a short time and then it closes.
I can see it, i have WKTask running. It is the same, if i have uninstalled WKTask, so this taskmanager is not the cause.
I have this problem mostly, not always but i can´t see the cause.
What is wrong with my HD2?
