Hi,
I have problem with task switcher. I installed in villain rom Launcher Pro. But every time press Home longer and task switcher appears, then I have to choose default home application. Is there any possibility to change that?
Clear defaults for HTC Sense is grayed out.
Finally, is there any possibility to disable task switcher?
Thanks in advance.
Try clear defaults on launcher pro, under the defaults section, then press home again and see...

I use Calender SBHC a lot- its great. but everytime i try to get out of it, it closes. is it possible to force it to stay running in the background even if i press the X button in the top right.??
otherwise it takes time to load up each time
Don't close it with the cross, press only the ok the hardware ok button, it will minimize the app. And make the calendar in the taskmanager to an exclusive app, so it will not be automatically closed.
You can allso add it to the exception in the HTC task manager settings.
Start the program, go to settings, system tab, then Task Manager.
Long press on SBHC and click add exclusive .
I just switched the launcher pro.
I am trying to get the task manager icon on the home screen. I know in touchwiz it was simple.

Yes, you can get to the app by holding the Home softkey, but the widget your talking about is part of TouchWiz and can not be used within other launchers. Unless one of the Dev's can figure out a way to mod it.
to get as a widget long press empty space and select shortcut, then select activities, then task manager and select the first one. you can also get it as a short cut in the doc tray at bottom (the 4 icons next to the app drawer button) by long pressing and selecting change shortcut, select activities, scroll down to and select task manager, and select the first one. icon isn't the same but takes you to the same place ur trying to get to. this is the only way i have figured out so far.

I'm using LauncherPro home app, and I want to set the home button to activate TaskSwitcher. I tried with LauncherPro's preferences, but there's no option to open app on Home Button Press.
Task switching is depended on the OS rather then the launcher. Long press the home button which will bring the task switching.
Hope this helps.

thanks for reply, I know long press on home button for the default task switching. But TaskSwitcher is an app that does a better job!
I've just installed an alternate home launcher on my arc but everytime i press the home button it simply goes back to the stock launcher. Previously i used to get an option after pressing the home button to choose which launcher i want to use but now i've lost that option. Is there a way for me to get that option back? Thanks in advance.
thanks for the reply. actually i found out how to get that menu back again...u simply go into the Home Launcher application via Manage Applications in Settings and press Clear Defaults. Then the next time u press the home button that menu will come back up again...hope this helps someone else.
I can't really comment on this since have not go the arc yet but you can install Home Switcher here and see if the option comes back or you can clear out the default launcher.

Go to settings - applications - manage applications - all applications - all - Sony home - clear defaults
this will help good luck
is there any way to uninstall Sony Home Launcher... since I've downloaded ADW Launcher as it is what I prefer..
Probably with titanium backup when you are rooted. Didn't try though so I don't know if there are any consequences

Freeze it in Titanium first to see what happens..
I got rid of mine everytime I flashed again. Nothing has happen to my arc...but yes rule of thumb is to freeze first.
would it be possible to download a task manager and modify the behavior of the home button so that a long press brings it up like on the GSII?
If you get ADW launcher EX, it has this functionality.

I wish I could get ADW or launcher pro to work. Only go launcher will work on my Fire. All the others FC!

Cant find this setting. Can you tell me where it is?

Menu - More - ADWSettings - General behavior - Gestures - Home key binding.
Then select "Open app..." I imagine any app is selectable there. (tbh i think Gestures is an odd place)
Though I now realize that's not long press, but simple tap of the home key. However, you have swipe down and swipe up to use as well.
I sideloaded ADW Launcher without any trouble. Are you rooted, BriDroid?

As an alternative, you can download and an app called Task Switcher in the market. It essentially replaces the initial function of pressing the Home button. Once installed if you press the home button it brings up a task manager similar to the default on most phones and tablets. One of the choices is the standard home app, in my case Go Launcher but it works for any Home screen app. Press home a second time and it will bring up a choice menu where I press Go Launcher.
Next time you press the home button twice takes you to your desktop top.
So effectively it provided the task manager function with the only caveat, that I've found, is you have to press it twice if you want to go to the actual home screen, which for me is no big deal. I'm already used to pressing the home button twice quickly to get to the desktop.
