adding the comm manager to the today screen

i have a quick question:
i recently installed the htc home 6 button screen, and the htc home customizer
on the program launcher window there originally was an icon that takes me to the comm manager/wireless manager but i removed in an effort to re-arrange the buttons. but now i cant find it in the list of apps to add.
would it be possible for someone to direct me on how to get it back? thanks.

When you remove an icon from the launcher, there should be an empty space with a circle with a cross in it. Pressing that, should bring up thelist of apps you're talking about. On my device, it is just a few scrolling lines down.
Have you tried just typing "Comm Manager" in the top bar and press select?

unfortunately no luck on the typing in and hitting select. it just goes to the closest match in my case "contacts"

It was originally one of the first six or so items in the selection menu, if its not there i dont know where it would be.

I want the same thing, to add the Comm Manager to one of the launcher buttons, rather than trying to tap the connection icon at the top of the screen.

i use pocket toolman 2 which places a icon in the system tray with a host of other icons you can select. its quick, easy, and free... good app

I am not 100% sure which one but either Schaps advanced config or KaiserTweak one of those two things have option to enable wireless thingy on today screen. It shows your current wifi and bluetooth connections and clicking takes you to connection manager. I would first try KaiserTweak.

Worked out how to do it earlier.
Browse to the windows folder and make sure you've got all files visible.
Look for the executable CommManager.exe, right click on it, select copy.
Browse to windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools right click, select paste shortcut.
Right click and rename the new short cut from, "Shortcut to CommManager.exe" to CommManager
Then it will be visible in the list of applications you can add to your shortcut buttons on the HTC homescreen. You can use the same method for any other applications you want on the launcher if they're not available automatically.
(I pasted the shortcut where I thought it most appropriate on the start menu).

thanks 6thElement. that shortcut worked.
thanks TimeSaver. i used KaiserTweak to enable wireless on the today screen initially.

This trick did not work for me. I have the Dutty WM6.1 Diamond ROM.
I need to put the Connection Manager on the Today screen, so that it can show me what am I connected to, but it does not show up in the Today item list.
I created a Registry key for iy in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items and it showed up in the list, but still does not work, brobably because I am linking to the wrong DLL.
May someone, who has the CommManaget on their Today screen see what are the correct Registry entries in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items for the Comm Manager and post here?

never mind my previous post - I found that what I was looking for was called "wireless" and can be added through the Kaiser tweak....

Quick Menu help

My quick menu has disappeared from the today screen and in its place is a battery percentage icon. Since I have a battery indicator next to this i would like to put the quick menu back. Please help.

have you tried going and excuting the quick menu program from your program list? Once there you should be able adjust the options to your liking.

its not into programs. trying a hard reset

you shouldnt need to hard reset just to get quick menu back...have you tried:
a) clicking on the start icon and not the word start
b) re-installing the quick menu cab?

did hard reset putting back phone with sprite backup now. quick menu icon was on when phone first powered up. If it's gone now it means some program is removing it. Right?

if you cant find the quickmenu in the start icon, then you can just try looking for the quickmenu executable. i think it would most likely be in the \windows directory

Is there a reg edit to move the battery icon?
I want to move the battery icon to the left because it currently covers up the icon that shows new notifications in the title bar, making them unusable. Is there a reg edit to do this? Thanks in advance!

Found quick menu on start icon. changed battery to none and added Q to taskbar. But the quick menu icon that was on there before is now gone but I can use this method

Well if you did a restore with sprite backup then most likely, you just undid everything that made it reappear in the first place.

By quickmenu do you mean the quickmenu itself taking the place of the old start menu? If thats what you want you have to tell it to do so, under options, the very first page, select replace systems start menu (and register win key of device if you want the hardware start key mapped too)

I have no idea what you are talking about on this, with my quickmenu, the battery is shown the furthest to the right as possible (where the ok and X are normally shown). Are you saying that this is not how yours appears?

No mine appears next to the 3G icon

uncheck "show on all titlebar" for the battery option and then the battery will move to the far right

quickmenu
I went to quickmenu/options and selrcted replace start menu--------nothing happened. sorry now when i click start it lists everything but won open ie settings so I'm turning off replace start menu

Leon, everything that you are asking really is availible as an option under quickmenu itself (even displaying settings) my best advice for you is just to look under the options...almost all of the options (again in quickmenu) are self explainatory, so you should be able to get all of your questions answered within

quick menu start
All of this started when I lost the quick menu start icon thats all the way up in the right corner next to battery icon. It is 3 lines with a triangle on its bottom right.Now the last icon I have is the battery with an empty space next to it.

The three lines thing can be turned off by going to the windows mobile settings, task manager, and deselecting all of the options under it, and obviously the reverse if you want that part on (this is not quickmenu, this is htc's task manager app). The battery is from quickmenu which you can turn on or off under the quickmenu settings.

Went to Task mgr and quick menu is checked but it isnt back on the top of today screen!!!!

You can actually have this and QuickMenu working at the same time if you like. Sounds like you would probably rather put Quick Menu out of its misery by now though.

Task manager on the upper right corner missing

Somehow I have managed to get rid of the Task manager icon on the upper right corner Cant get it back Can anyone help Was quite handy in closing applications

What ROM do u use ?
If u're using ROMeOS² v1.40.1, u can find task manager here.
(In applications list)

Well I have standard issue english version. What is strange that before it was there and even when restarting then during touch flo startup I have the icon in the upper corner but then it just vanishes Thou have now used wk task and that works quite well also. Maybe it has something to do with the vertical scrollbar that I made wider. Thou why I can not see taskmanager in Home screen where there is now scrollbar.

Happens to me all the time... here is how to fix it.
Start->settings->task manager.
Buttons Tab at bottom.
Put a check mark in "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen"

Thanks but unfortunately I have this checked and still no taskmanager on the corner. I have now got used to the Wk tasks that works quite fine but the solution intrests me principally. Why is it missing. Also on the home screen earlier the calendar showed upcoming appointments but not any more even I have somewhere checked the buttons for upcoming and so on appointments.
Strange Seems that I have messed up somewhere.

Do you by any chance use SPB Pocket Plus?

Dont know but at least dont remember seeing any program under that name SPB pocket plus.

same problem with task manager shortcut button
i have the same problem - basically i was messing around between the SE panels and SPB Home, finally settled for SPB home, but the task manager button doesn't appear despite checking the box in task manager settings.
i'm using the xperia x1, haven't messed with the winMo6.1 installation other than installing/uninstalling R3A panel manager and SPB home (and finally installing SPB home).

This is the Raphael aka HTC Touch Pro aka Fuze forums, not the Xperia X1.
Post this topic at the Xperia forum.

Is there a way to have Task Manager in in the Start Menu or on the Today Screen?

It's hard to hit that little Task Manager icon in the top right corner without using the stylus. It's definitely not finger friendly. I wish there was a way to make the Task Manager more accessible. I like being able to kill anything that is running.

That would depent on the ROM you are running.

Quickmenu is the answer to your need.

I am running a the stock AT&T Rom minus bloat
Thanks for the reply

Or rather than installing more software you could map Taskmanager to a hardware button, Start\Settings\buttons.
Oh and in the start menu is easy Start\Settings\Menu
As i imagine your asking for ease of use.
Another cool bit of software is AEButton do a google as you can map up to 4 things for every hardware button makes the phone so user friendly

Task Manager isn't an option
I tried that first...it doesn't show up as an option in the start menu or today screen. Stock AT&T Rom

Sorry to do what i said you will need to use this taskmanager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2481033&postcount=81 it's just an exe place a where you want and make shortcut to Windows\startmenu

What I use is HButton by Ondrej Pavlicek, together with a newer version of Task Manager (usually included in the M2D cabs). If you let HButton handle the "ok" button presses, it will show the Task Manager popup at the upper right corner when you are in the Today screen. The newer Task Manager allows scrolling through the tasks, and if you press the right button in the directional pad, it will close the selected task. Very convenient for me.
