Today i discovered something weird. Normally i always start the program list from start -> programs. When i scroll through the list it reacts really slow. Today i started the program menu from the HTC Home starter menu. That's the icon right next to the weather icon. When i start the program menu that way scrolling goes really smooth.
Is there someone who can figure this out?
Wow I can confirm that. Really weird.
Always thought that this had to do with the lack of graphic drivers...
***Prays that there's a hidden driver that acts when things are loaded from the Launcher tab***
I also tested and it's true. I think it's a different application, one that caches the icons at start, but still...
Yes! Finaly something positive about TyTN2. Works for me, too. Great find, BenchMarc.
Anyone has got an idea how to map this to Start->Programs ?
Just done it on my (stock rom) Vario 3, that is really wierd, and theres nothing in taks manager to suggest its a different program though?

It IS a different program.
Try this:
1. Start (HTC) Programs from HTC HomePlugin
2. Start (Windows Mobile) Programs from Start->Programs
3. Now when you minimize (Windows Mobile) Programs by tapping [X] (HTC) Programs will still be underneath it. This wouldn't happen if they were the same application.
The difference I noticed is that one seems to have touchflow on it - the other doesnt.

I have touchflow with both on my Vario 3.
By the pause that occurs before it launches it appears to be pre-caching the icons. Any way to link directly to this program, so I can map it to a button?
Surur
I found it, htchome launches a different program named folderview.exe.
You can find it in your windows dir.
yeah, it's a different app!
(if you open programs from htc home and you go into the games dir there's an X button to close and not an OK)
anyway, do u guys know why is that touchflo scrolling in the "programs" app is not like in a different app? i mean.. for example in contacts, or messages its smooth and its similar to iphone. but on the programs screen its not that realistic. for me, its scrolling almost 2 times faster than i drag my finger.
is there any way I can change the star menu programs folder to the folderview.exe

ICP-Touch is almost ready for release, but there is just one last issue:
Applications don't end when I click the 'X' button!
I keep having to go into the task manager and manually end them.
Other then that it's pretty smooth (after 6 bug ridden builds). It uses the Silk Blue theme I donated to the JustClean kitchen, a custom BatteryStatus theme for the clock, and UltimateLauncher (trial version) to handle the lower half of the today screen.
I just need to fix the 'X' button issue and it will be released.
Anyone have a solution?
EDIT: Actually I have one more question. Does anyone have a (working) OEM pack for Advanced Config 2.1. Nothing I found (or generated) works.

Did you include Taskmanager? Because using Batterystatus Taskman should do the trick for x-button wirking even without any fix....
Or try to make an OEM out of the x-buttonworking.cab from Itjes ROMs.
bte - your ROM sound like mine... hehe. The UL part...

I sort of borrowed a few OEM packs from JustClean. I used 'HTC Task Manager 2.0.30487.1', which seems to be working with the exception of the 'X' button issue. I tried the task manager from BS, but I still cannot close out the apps.
EDIT: It's actually very similar to yours with the exception of the MMS counter.
is this a 6.1 rom? and is it gon be a full version?

1) Yes
2) The list of included apps will be available when I release
im looking forward to this
Does it just minimize the app? Do you have the BatteryStatus task manager off? The TaskManager in my kitchen, by default, is set to press and hold to close a program and not to press only to close a program.
Glad to hear your release is so close.

That explains it, I used the task manager from your kitchen. I found a couple more issues this morning. Should have a stable release in the next few days.
Now I'm really stuck
I got the 'X' button working, now I can't get any of the buttons to work (power, send, end, ok, camera, etc.). The comm manager also stopped working (settings not found). The weirdest thing is, the buttons worked yesterday, but the comm manager hasn't worked since last week.
The rgu file for the comm manager isn't getting applied for some reason. It begins working as soon as I manually import the rgu from the OEM pack.
I can't figure out what is going on with the buttons, the only thing I changed was the task manager setting for the 'X' button.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Are you a fan of ICP?
is it just me or does contacts not scroll well. it seems like when your selecting a city for weather or a program when you hit all programs it scrolls great. Is there a tweak or hack or just another program that has a more user friendly interfacefor contacts?
I have this, which is very good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724&highlight=icontact+burt
When you click on "contacts" in Touchflo then "All Contacts" does Icontact come up? If so how did you install it? I do like the interface thank you for the suggestion!

If you like you can change the softkey "All Contacts" to run another aplication.
So you can run for example icontacts. For do this you need to use this programm but is abit difficult if you dont know many things
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Most People change ths softkey "phone" to run "icontact". This can be done easely by many tweaking programs like "advanced configurations" and other programs .
I downloaded that program but contacts is not an option
Introduction: I have searched an answer to my question both in xda-developers, in SE Xperia X1 forum and in wkTask manual.
Questions:
#1: is there a way to have wkTask always on top/in front of WM today screen?
#2: is there a way to add to the laucher other links other than those on Start menu? (to make it simple: how can I add to the launcher links that are in Settings folder? I neither can find them on my PDA)
Thanks to you all, as always!
P.S.: great program wkTask... would suggest to cook it into Jack's lite Rom, using it I can almost use no panels at all!
you've lost me on number 1 im afraid, what do you mean wktask is always showing on my topbar
Ive used WkTask since way back in all my devices, but now with X1 I felt it was causing problems... Some weird crashes and I switched to P +'s task manager... WkTask is great but now I just learned to live with other tools.
that's odd, I found quickmenu causing some issues, not wktask
I stopped using it so long ago that I can remeber exactly what were the problems, but there were some crashes and whatnot..
I use Wktask as well, just not the quickmenu it has. Works like a charm for me!
Works fine on my X1 as well!

#1 is: can I get the wk launcher always on top? actually, I can get it after a vertical move. I would want it to be always on top, but just on today screen.
#2 no answer?! :-( bad for me...

what you want from 1 still isn't too clear, I think it might be a translation problem
You're saying you want it always on top just on the today screen. Which is a contradiction..
I'm presuming that means you only want it active on the today screen, if so then I think the answers no as that's not what Wktask is about..
You can get it to disappear on the today screen by checking the tickbox "hide the task-list when there are no tasks"
I tend to hide always START (manilla-tf3d) and activesync
2) yes but it's not that easy. control panel items are .cpl some are .dll and others are .exe will start normally some wont.
They should all be in windows.

#2 solved, they actually are in windows folder, but I needed to tick the "show all files" option under menu. Then, copy the exact name and insert it manually on the launcher.
However, the name of the .exe, .dll, .*** it is not the one shown on the settings panel
#1 I'll try to explain myself. In Windows (normal one, not mobile) you can have some windows always on top.This mean that the "always on top" window will always stay in front of everything. Now, on WinMo, I really like the wktask launcher. But, it is not always visible on my screen, every time I need to activate it. Is there a way to have it always visible?
Hope I've been able to explain the point, otherwise thanks anyway, I'll survive without this trick, take an English course and come back to explain it

You've made that perfectly clear now ;-)
But I think the answer is no. Maybe ask the author of WKtask if he could implement it as an option?
You do know that you can set the launcher to open by Drawing down with your stylus from the X of wktask?
That's pretty instant on my X1

Could you share where you got your working .cab? I got mine off http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html but it now shows a gray-white bar across the entire top a couple pixels down.

yep thats correct, its the battery level
first time i used it i hated that, but now i find it indispensible
you can turn it off in the preferences - general2 tab
question for the one who use wktask with their xperia: The OK button (not the OK from WM, the OK touch in the right bottom corner) does not close the program but hide it when wktask is launched. Is it a bug or something expected ? If it is not a bug, how is it possible to close any program by pushing the OK key, as a default behavior ? any idea ???
Launcher settings backup

Go to the preferences menu of wktask. Tap on the 'Actions' tab, and you can set preferences for the OK button.
WKtask works great on my xperia. I don't use the launcher at all, but I wouldn't know how to function without the task manager.
WKTask Launcher settings Backup
Here is answer from directly from maker of WKTAsk:
The settings of WkTASK are written in registry.
So you can backup them by using "PHM Registry Editor".
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Backup steps
1. Open \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\waku\WkTASK.
2. Tap&hold WkTASK folder icon
3. Select "Export" and input file name
Regards,
waku
I use for this not PHM Registry Editor, but Total Commander, and without problem. In new phone/install only copy the WkTask.reg into registry and softreset. It´s easy
Is the a New WkTask for WM 6.5 ?
I have Att Tilt2
Right now, the only way to list ALL programs is to tap on your start button, then tap on "all programs" below.
However, I feel more comfortable with the old windows programs list with 3-4 rows of icons. How can I get that back without removing the TF3D2 start menu?
Perhaps someone knows a shortcut to it?
Perhaps a shortcut to the windows settings page would be useful too.
Thanks!
hi..
u can try this it is a program that will give u the classical start menu ( like older version of WM) and will put the program icon on the lower task in the manilla theme>> so u can get the advantage of both..
wish u like it

Thanks for yr reply, but I've come across this before.
The thing is, I want to retain HTC's new start menu, at the same time have a shortcut to WM programs list.
