Need Task Switcher for WM6

Hi all. I am on the hunt for a decent Task Switcher app that will work with WM6.
I used to use Wisbar Lite and loved it but it looks yuck on WM6 as it forces the older (WM5 Close Icon)
What I need is Something that I can launch with a button and will show all the running apps in a pop up window and allow me to switches between them by tapping on an application icon in said pop up window.
And it must not change or add anything to the start bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jules

pBar
have you tried the pBar application that is around on the forums? it's freeware and was based on the old wisbar. seems to work well, but i don't think i am using a full wm6...just the beta ish...or wm5 heavily skinned wm6....
do a search and you're bound to find it...

I'm running a PDAviet WM6, it has this in it's ROM. Tap and hold upper-right corner.

I love it when I can answer my own questions
After searching and using a bunch off apps and not having any luck I just tried Small Menu and It works 100% in WM6.
Meets all my requirements
More news or problems as I find them

gspocket magic
best app that does all you want

Thanks for the replies.
Vilem. please can you elaborate on that?
I am using Davit ver 3 and have not seen this app.
Sandrobber. Thanks for the file, I have tried the app before but it doesn't match or look good on the stock WM6 start bar. am I missing a setting or something?
So far SmallmenuPlus is the winner for me.
Jules

I have to say, people I know that have been running Crossbow for a few months, have found SmallMenuPlus to be great.
On an unrelated note, I've run SmallMenu pretty much since I got my first WinMob phone, and can highly recommend it. It's not perfect, but it's very useful.
PocketMagic is also a very worth (free) contender.
I don't use Wisbar (resource usage....) so can't comment.

Does anyone know a way to exclude some applications (activesync and phone) from smallmenuplus task list?
Killing the phone process during a conversation or closing activesync during a pc sync can be really dangerous/disappointing.

No, I don't think you can, hence my "It's not perfect"
Try writing to the author, he's still active, although the app only seems to get minor updates these days.

I've been using Dinar HandySwitcher 2.5 from DinarSoft for a good while now. It has the decided advantage that you can also remove the application from memory, or all applications from memory, right from the main screen. Most times the only way to clear applications is through the start/settings/systems /memory route or a hard power down.
It's not free but it is cheap, easy and effective. Don't know if it runs on W6.

Trying it now.
Works fine in WM6.
Thanks

pocket magic
you can chenge the pictures of the start bar in pocket magis but it takes some enginutity and time. your have to edit the bitmap. Play aroung with it enough and I'm sure you can make it even look loke a vista button

@ZaJules,
Which taskswitcher did you settle with in the end for WM6?

Hadn't seen this thread, thanks for bumping it up . So I'm trying SmallMenuPlus and this seems like a really nice (and fast) replacement for Wisbar Lite. The one thing I miss though is there is no soft reset in the menu. I like having that ability to do a soft reset via the menu due to the case I have doesn't have easy access to the reset hole on the side. Anyone know how to add this?
Also, does SmallMenuPlus not close apps when you press the X? Does it just put them in background? Can that be configured?

SKmenu
Skmenu is the one for me. Its not free(for the cascading menu part, which can be deactivated! ), but the taskbar switching works 100% with the demo. I have always used it, its very light, and its accessible 100% of the time= very quick(response speed is the issue i have with the rest of the apps mentioned). Although it doesnt come preconfigured setting it up takes less than a minute, and its easy enough for any level user.
The best solution for me. I also use an Alt-tab application mapped to a hardware button for easy access, like when driving etc...

about taskswicher
sry my poor english
Since 2004 and IPAQ6340 until today wizard/universal/hermes WM6 I have used HaaliTS TaskSwicher-2002.
Lives silently in upper left corner, shows additionally free battery and memory.
Dont needs install, copy exe, make shortcut, all )
Perfect for me and my friends (~25-30 units).
Have tested all here overmentioned progs, but find it best. Small footprint, etc.
regards

And what about this little tool??

(Except for the typo's: Frends instead of Friends and Conn Manager instead of Comm Manager But that we can change!)

And there a some bugs. e.G. it often crashes when you are entering too much contacts for quickcall. But at least a nice piece of software.

Any help with getting rid of evaluation version plz ?
Doesn't matter, piece of crap IMHO.

Here maybe some info on the use of the software.

final release?
Hi,
Anyone know when the final release will be available?
Regards,
Joao

@Joao; this is not a beta version but a trial.

lol so if you like it buy it . warez kills developers who spend hours developing on our behalf

There is a 15 day trial period and i have had it for 2 days. I like it. it is great for 1 touch voice dial or starting applications. Looks like i will buy it. it is only $15 bucks.
The only thing i want to know, is it can be executed by default instead of device comming up in the Today screen. I have the new ATT tilt (kaiser).

touch commander

I tried it had fatal exception errors and I wish they were able to get touchflo incorporated to it. that would be nice instead of assigning a button to start it.

yea seriously...how the hell did you do that?

Mine works...
Since I have Touch Commander installed on my card, I edited FTouchFloConfig.txt (txt file is in \Program Files\FTouchFlo on the device, not the card) to read:
DownUpApp:\Storage Card\Program Files\TouchCommander\TouchCommander.exe
DownUpAppCmdLine:
Then, soft reset device. Launch FTouchFlo. Manually launch Touch Commander to clear screen that asks for registration number, e.g. use it as a trial. Close Touch Commander.
Now, to make it work, I very lightly slide my finger on the Today Screen from the bottom to about a half inch from the top.
The sensitivity may have to be adjusted if it can be. Practice until you are used to it.
If I could get it to perform more consistently, I think this it is a great program. For now, I have remapped my PTT button to launch Touch Commander.

if you modify the pages one at a time and copy the files-appinf1.0.0, contactinf1.0.0, quickcalltree1.0.0, settings and thumbnalinf1.0.0 to another location and sofreset the device. then copy these files back to the folder and restart the program. modify a different page and repeat. this has the program working with all mods you have done i.e. contact pages, program links (with names and icon)etc..
worked for me.

Hmm.. no downloader for Tilt or any HTC models... maybe we'll have to try a different Windows Mobile phone? I will try 8525
EDIT: What the hell? Does this thing work off of Java? Like the midlet manager? Why isn't there just a cab or an exe? I'm confused...

How much different is it from the Beta?

Just connect from Kaiser PIE, and download it... it is java Midlet based browser... so no CAB nor EXE to install....
Cheers.

They don't have the kaiser listed yet but the one we want is the "advanced version", which is the one that all the other WM devices use. You don't want the "basic" one. It still prompts you for the stupid "trusted application" every time, I'll just have to hack the reg once again.
The best part: It displays the FULL web page in the browse. Not some hacked up, trimmed down page, but the full page. You then click on the area of the page you want to browse and it zooms in. You can then scroll around using your fingers (think touchFlo) or hit the magnifying glass to zoom out. Yes, it is kinda like the iphone, but it does work very nice.

Well im using it now as i type and so far so good. But main test is with the cookies handeling, becuz with the last beta i noticed that while browsing profiles in myspace, opera mini would log me off after awhile. Still testing, ill report after im finished

About time!
Very Nice... As soon as the cab version comes out it will be even better!
Opera 9!!
anyone know the release date?!

It prompts for net access even with the high memory version.

How do you uninstall the beta? My shortcut is still taking me to that.

Open up JBed, click menu, and hit "uninstall all".

This is my very first time using opera mini, and I must say I like it. Its working really well so far. One handed browsing is simple. Web pages look alot better, and work out better. One setting I changed was to make images medium quality instead of low. Otherwise, I like it. It is kinda like an Iphone.

Ok, one problem I see thus far. I can't save images. (I like to be able to download images)
Am I missing something?

everthing is perfect..except i cant watch youtube videos, download images, and wish if somehow they make the address entry more user friendly also the enter button. Another thing that is bothering me is the net access dialog, its is very annoying. And how can i make it into an program straight forward insted of going through java midlet.

was that in the terms and conditions? if so its just a warning that data charges can occur while using it if your network applies charges for data. if your on a data plan then dont worry it wont cost anything extra.

It's a java app, so, it won't be avail as a cab file. Opera Mobile is, Opera Mini is not. This is Opera Mini (which I love).

FTouchFlocube complete

i found this file in trinity forum. it works perfectly. some of it is in french and some of it is in english. can someone help to clean up.
it is the complete cab including ftouchflo, schaps config, and cube all in one cab file. just install and use.

woow, does it work on any Device ??

I installed it, nothing shows up in the today screen. I've tried to play around to make the cube show but nothing happens.

it works on my tilt. to use cube start right above th middle of the bottom task bar and go quickly to the middle of the screen. if this doesn't work then start from one side and go across to the other side quickly.
also configure ftouchflo from 100 timeout to 200 and gesture waiting delay from 10000 to 700 and try the above it will work.
i have an at&t 8525 and tilt it works on both devices.

I had to remove this program because it was messing up with the slide 2 unlock program.

Sensational find, well done

The program works great and has a huge coolness index factor....
I tried to set the photos to open a file in the storage card and would not do it. Is it limited to opening files that are only in the device memory? Can it address files in the sorage card?
Nice program overall.

Well, just un-installed the Spanish version and installed this. Appears to work perfectly, I can't see any problems at the moment. I had to rename the FTouchFlo folder so that the configuration tool would work but other than that this was too easy.

go into config cube and all word editing done from there.

Hi,
just one question: does the TouchFLO CUBE work on the TYTN II ?
I heard that on Tytn II it needs a cooked ROM not just a sw on top of already installe TouchFLO.
Could somebody tell me something ?
Thanks in advance

works perfectly after configuring it, gotta get use to the spanish though but i guess im taking it as a humor thing LOL

hi i have problem with the ftouchflo after installing it .....
i do have a problem with the text on mine, i mean in office words and messaging,
I cant select the text (that is to use stylus click drag a paragraph of text) to be copy and paste or something like that.......... i cannot select the whole text...maybe u can help me?? this applies in excel,words, messaging, notes, task ...but in appointment i can select a few text.......................also in resco explorer, normally i can click drag and select a few files to multiple delete (and no i dont wanna use the multi seelect, its extra buttons..)
and btw i have added all the above mentioned files intothe config for exclusion of scrolling and stuffs..........so maybe u can help me? thanx alot

I think the touchcube thing is cool, but i would rather it only works on the homescreen, its just annoying anytime else, when trying to do daily activities and you bring up the cube or minimize the program. can this be done?

i hope you guys wont shoot me on the 26th of december. but i cant install this cube cab :]
I have a dutch vario III so instead of the folder "program files" i have the folder
"programmabestanden". I copied all the important folders (config and cube) to "Program Files" but still i get the error: cant find the config file.
I even read the config.txt. file through windows and changed the link also to ..\Program Files\.. but nothing happens.
Can someone help me with this annoying situation?

A few questions about my new Wing

Hi everyone... I am trying to find out a few things about my new phone. I am brand new to Windows Mobile, coming from a blackberry, and have done much searching on here, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.
I have found tons of posts on how to disable threaded texts. Not sure why anyone would want to do this, (I'm still used to my blackberry, and I love the threaded texts)... so I am wondering how I get that, because mine must be already disabled. Mine only shows the messages that were sent to me. I did get a program from a guy I work with called Xtreme text, which is ok, but kind of slow.
Also, I would like to know if I can disable or at least change the sound that my phone makes when I send a sms. I went into sounds and turned off notifications, and that turned it off, but it also turned off the sound for when I receive a text.
I saw that there are different operating systems I guess they are, and some of them maybe would give me the things I'm looking for, but a lot of them say that the transcriber has been disabled, and that is the whole reason I had to lose the Blackberry, because we are using a new program at work and I need to be able to have my phone signed with the stylus.
I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Welcome to xda-devs! consider this your "get questions anwered without just being to sold to search" pass.
Threaded texts are not natively supported in WM6. You must flash a WM6.1 rom for natively supported threaded texts. Flashing roms is really fun and kind of addicting (at least imho). There are currently 2 methods for flashing roms- USPL and Hard-SPL. Your phone is protected from rom changing with a "CID-Lock" that is built into the SPL of your phone. The USPL uses a temporary SPL to disable the lock where as Hard-SPL flashes a totally new SPL that has no CID-lock.
Romwise, we do not yet have an abundance of cooks. We have two main cooks, itje and ttran. They make the "Touch-it" and "Open Touch" roms, respectively.
Now about the transcriber. The transcriber takes the text that you write and translates it into text. I am not sure what program you could use to actually sign documents.
Welcome to xda-devs!

Thanks fzzy! Ok, so in your opinion, what would be the easier way for a newb to do this, and what would be the flash that I wanted to use? I am totally new to all of this and will need step by step instructions on how to do all of it without turning my phone into a paperweight.
Any suggestions and help will be awesome! The main things I want are the threaded texting, and to be able to scroll through my contacts with my finger like the iphone I guess. Also, I would really like for the phone not to make that bell noise when I send an sms. The thing with the transcriber i believe is built into the program that we will be using, but the ability for the phone to accept the movement of the stylus needs to be active still.
Thank You!

Very important.....
And if you hard-spl... you can test any rom you want....

Yeppers. As fzzyrn said, you don't need the transcriber since all that does is translate what you write into words. If you do want it, though, you can built a ROM using my kitchen that includes it.

Hmm I still don't really understand what any of that means. Maybe I will just have to learn to like this phone the way it is.
It does say though, under "programs you need" that you need active sync if you have XP. What if you are using Vista?
I am going to keep reading posts to find out as much as I can, but this is all pretty confusing to me so far...

My suggestion:
1. USE your device about a few weeks. You never tune a car before you tested it.
2. Meanwhile READ, READ, READ and you will understand WinMobile etc.... and Activesync and WMDC on Vista
3. NOW start searching apps you want to try....
4. And now think about falshing a tuned up Operating system....
But please take time for 1-3!!!!!!!

here i created a cab file for you.
just copy it to your wing then click it and it will fix this sent message thing

hmm I copied it and clicked it, and it opened a bunch of text in IE, but it didn't stop the message sent notification. Not sure if I did something wrong or what...

lordy lordy. how'd i forget ivan? haha.
we should also add albert now what with his carbon rom, eh?
oh by the way, you need to click it from your device, not form your computer. trix is for kids (get it?). oh and you should get some "cab via activesync" software so you don't hafe to repeatedly copy and open.

so it didnt install at all?
