Is it possible to have a program always running

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 .

Landscape Nexus 1 Photo Gallery

Jut thought I'd throw this out there since it's new to me and I didn't see it posted anywhere else. If you hold your phone horizontally and open the gallery it works in landscape mode and gets distorted if you hold it in portrait mode. It should also be noted that if you've already opened the gallery app in portrait mode and try to reopen it in landscape you will have to kill the program first. I've uploaded 2 photos to show that it works for me at least.
Nice find bro!
hey guys, I found an even easier way to do this. press the camera button in the upper right hand corner, which causes the gallery to throw a force close dialog box. press force close and flip the phone's orientation immediately. gallery will quickly re-open itself automatically after the force close in the new orientation.
Even better find. Thanks.

force close loop; cannot access settings

Hi, an app is stuck in a force close loop. I cannot access the homescreen or settings. Upon reboot it does the same thing. Is there a safe mood I can boot into to uninstall the app? Thanks.
Edit: everything on the phone is functioning besides the home screen. I can longpress the search button and make a Google search which opens the browser. I can press notifications on the status bar which will open that app. Just whenever I try to go to the home screen, the app I installed will force close. Just wondering if there is some remote way to access my installed apps so I can uninstall it. Maybe some way to bring up the settings menu besides the traditional menu->settings. Any help is appreciated; thanks.
The voice search works.. anyone know of a voice command that may open settings?

[Q] Ignoring apps in multitasking menu (holding home key)... is it possible?

Hi guys,
sometimes (2-3 times per day) I clean running apps by holding home key -> multitasking menu -> close all.
Please don't blame me for doing this or say that in android it's not necessary to clean memomory and so on...
Everything is fine when doing this, except that closing "dialer-contacts..." app, when I open it again it has some micro-lag when opening again. This is the only app I don't want to close. I could close all other apps except this, but it's not confortable as pressing a single button to close all.
So, my question is: is there a way to prevent that multitasking considers "dialer-contacts..." app in its history? so that I can close all app with a single button avoiding to close that app?

Multi window toggle and by holding back button?

Hi,
I just bought this phone, upgraded from my Note 4. Basically on the Note 4, there's a toggle and setting for multi windows, but I dont see it on the Edge+? Where can I find it?
Also, on the Note 4 I can hold the back button then a side panel will appear with the list of apps that can be used in multi windows. But holding back button on the edge+ doesnt do anything?
I've done some googling but didnt find anything useful, pls help.
Press and hold the recent apps button. Available apps will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can scroll left and right through the apps. Just select an app and it will fill the top half of your screen. Second app selected will fill the bottom half.
Hi,
What you mentioned is split view. In Note4, if i have a full screen app running (e.g. games), then when i hold the back button, it will allow me to open another apps as a popup window so I can let the full screen app running while looking at the pop up app. But the split view doesnt support this as both apps need to be split view-able
