I like HTC Task Manager's feature, that enables the Quick Menu when pressing the X-button. But I would like to acces the Quick Menu with a hardkey.
Does anybody know how that can be done?
Give SPB Pocket Plus a try.

Yes, SPB Pocket Plus has the taskmanager like the Quick Menu. But the reason why I like the one from HTC - is because it is finger friendly.
I have tried the Touch Commander Suite - it has a great task manager (quick menu). But it is not that consistent in its performance - and it keeps closing down - and the only way to get it back is with soft reset. :-(
I thought he meant how to assign a hardware button ... use the button feature from Pocket Plus was my suggestion NOT the task mgr.
actually just coming in my head... do you mean HTC Action Screen. This works perfect with Pocket plus (I have it on long press PTT on my AT&T Tilt).

No, I mean the Quick Menu that you can see on the attachment.
Yes, I'm thinking about this too considering that HTC Task Manager is only available on the Today Screen. It would be nice to be able to access it while in other applications. So, I guess a hardware key mapping is the best solution. Anybody?
Pocket Plus has an "Alt-Tab" function which can be mapped to a hardware key. It'll open a window and either with the stylus or scroll wheel you select the task, press OK (or press the scroll wheel) and you are there.

If you only want to access that from today screen, HButton does a good job for that. I add the "OK/Close" function to one of the HButtons, and assign that to the "OK" button in the settings->buttons. This way I can use the "OK" button to close most of the running programs, and while in today screen, one hit on the "OK" button will bring up the list of programs in the picture you attached.

The problem with the Alt-Tab function is, that you are not able to close one (or all) of the programs - like you can with the Quick menu

Please explain. When I go under settings->buttons, I can only ad the "ok/close" function. Are you saying, that you also have an "ok" function, and when you map the ok function to a hardkey, then you have the list of the programs pop up on the today screen??

You have to install HButton.
I use Handy Menu, not free though. 4.99 I think. It also gives you some other functions, and it is configurable. I have it mapped to long press camera button.
Quick Menu 2.7 does exactly that. All you have to do is tap the start menu. a list of programs running and an X to kill them.
Much quicker than looking for a way to edit taksmanager/Xbutton3(?)
Highly recomend it. I don't use anything else.
Also, you can cook it too:
Install the app; set up your options; export the registries; make a package from the cab (for dsm/rgu ); copy the contents of the reg export to the rgu using text editor. Package complete! now you can cook it and have your options be like you need them.... and there are so many!

I did, thanks wearefree for the tip. Use HButton, its OK/Close button handling is different from OS, so it makes exactly what we need. I mapped HW button 2 on my Wizard to HButton and it simulates OK/Close. When any app is in front it minimizes it and when I'm on today it shows HTC Quick Menu.
Hi All,
Is there any small application, which can simulate I press the power button?
Because the power button is hard to press, I wish to add a shortcut to this application, and tap the screen instead.
I found some which is to turn off the screen only, but I want to put the machine in suspend mode just like press the power button.
Thanks.

Thats not true, you are pressing the button in the wrong way .
Read this.
If you really want a application that can suspend your device look for psShutXp or iLauncher. I think there are really many applications able to do that.
sure there are tons of applications for pocketpc which when started turn off the pda
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...off+program&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f
used a few of them myself works just fine
Haa......I also read this post before, I knew how to press the power button correctly......
To be more precise, I don't want to press the power button frequently in order to protect it from damage.

Hi,
How do you change the soft key to this exe.
And can this exe be used to wake up the device by tapping on the screen.
Thanks
You can modify it by changing registry
\HKLM\Software\HTM\Manila\HomeLSK* and HomeRSK* values.
I think a hardware trigger is needed if you want to wake up the device.
To wake up by tapping on the screen, the device cannot be in suspend mode then, just the screen is off.

I have not been around xda for a while now so have not kept up. I finally upgraded to duttys Leo Holy Grail. I have since found that AEbutton opens but does not let me select anything and Advance Config does the same.
Just wanted to adjust the touch screen responce.
Thanks in advance, I have searched but not found out why AEbutton and advance config open but don't work.

First off, AEBPlus is for mapping hardware buttons to functions so it will not adjust the touch screen response.
Open AEBPlus and you should have a list of buttons. Click on one, for example volume up. Now click on 'do not touch button' and another screen should appear. Using drop down menu select 'Handle by AEBPlus' and then choose your ioption, i.e. Single press of button, double press, triple press or long press and then select function on other drop down menu. Save and exit.
I have set AEBPlus to the following settings
Single press vol up > press up arrow key
Long press vol up > volume up
Single press vol down > press down arrow key
Long press vol down > volume down
Advanced config should open and allow you to tweak a number of things.
What happens when you try and open either app?
Yes I know AEbutton plus does key mapping, what I was trying to explain is that both AE and advance config open but I can't select the items to change.
So in AE I see all the red, green, volume up, down etc but nothing happens when I try to select them.
I had them working on my old rom which was WM6 so am thinking something has changed in WM6.5 to stop the selection in the list.
Thanks

Well I'm using wm6.5 and both apps work fine for me
Do they need an earlier version of .net ?

what way did you install these apps? cab version?
Have you installed sdkcerts? Try uninstalling apps, installing sdkcerts, resetting device and then using cabs I've provided to install apps again
I thought you had the solution there with sdkcerts which I hadn't installed.
I have put that on but still have the same problem, I can long press on items in the list in AEbutton.
Also installed .net 2 but not resolved the issue, what could it be, I have tried the cabs you provided.
Sully
I think there's nothing wrong with the app itself but your HD might be suffering from the long tap time bug. This is a known error with Dutty's Holy Grail, if you haven't fixed it yet though, install this cab and do soft reset then check AEButton again.

It's all good fella as I had forgot to install sdkcert, it's amazing how quickly you forget the little things you need to do.
Hopefully HTC Hero next year so more learning to do

For this kind of requirement, I'm using AEBplus "http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus" which can do that.

Very buggy program - For reviews.
At site developer in Russian version - "Unfortunately, some hardware buttons after they have been selected for the system can not be returned back without any "soft" reboot".
Sorry but am looking for other alternatives.
AEBplus,it's a very good software for keyboard.Long long ago,I begun to love it.
So sorry for my english

You might have to tweak registry if you want to use the backspace button.
But! You can use another button, the call button. You have to hold down the call button.
Go to Menu > Settings > Personal > Buttons
Choose the "Send Key (Hold) and assign task manager to it.
So you can access task manager just by holding down the call button.

I can't associate with task manager because it is not listed.
Yea, Try getting SPB Mobile Shell and it has task manager, you don't have to activate the SPB Mobile Shell and you still can use the task manager.
Let me know if u need the cracked cab.

Yep, not completely useful for Touch2 I'm afraid: Not all buttons are directly supported (have to try to set up through file - add button), and at least for the HOME button I didn't get it to work well (sometimes doing two actions at once with a single keypress)
Accidentally screwed over some files >.>
I got same problem. I assign task manager to x-panel manager button, unfortunately it change camera button to run task manager too. After removing assignment camera button not working.
AEButton assign camera button together with panel button, recognizing them as one (ctr key).

Use the OK key instead and assign a long press for task manager and a short press for ok key.
It works flawlessly
HOW do you assign a button? You need a program for that? If so, is there a way to assign the voice command to a button?

Maybe, but I cant help a lot here, VC is not available in Italian, and I feel a bit stupid talking with a machine in English
So, I never used it.
Well, you could use German or French to talk to your phone too
I will give this program a try. And report back. By the way, what are you using this for? And if one assigns only 1 button, will the rest be changed too, or only that one. Don't want any more trouble with the X2.... if I can avoid it

I use (and used it for years) it mainly to remap the volume rocker as a "fake jog dial" (very handy to read ebooks) and because the AEBP task manager is quickest task manager to use when you have to quick swich from an app to another or to kill a stuck application w/o messing with the touch screen.
