I updated my Tilt's ROM to the latest version, doing the reset trick to skip installing the AT&T bloatware just as I had done with the previous ROM version.
All seems well, except that my "OK" button no longer works like it used to. When I press it now, it minimizes/hides some applications instead of closing them out. Previously, it closed them (like tapping the "X" does). Is there a way to fix this without installing the AT&T software?
What's interesting is that it works correctly with some apps, but not with others. For example, if I have the camera or phone dialer up, pressing the OK button completely closes them. But if I have Pocket IE up, pressing OK only minimizes/hides it.
go into task manager. goto options, then make sure "press and hold X to close" is not selected. if it is, select the other one and it should work.
Thanks for the tip. I just checked, and "End programs by tapping 'X'" is selected (not "End programs by tapping and holding 'X'").
So theoretically, things should be working--but they're not. In addition to PIE not closing using the OK button, I just noticed that File Explorer doesn't, either.
I suppose you could try using Quickmenu (attached), this also has options regarding the "X to close" command. Give it a try if you want, I personally can't live without it
HButton all the way, I have my ok button set to <ok/close> if i tap it and <quit> if I hold it.

Thanks--I'll check that out.

Hi,
yesterday evening I've found a new problem: when I close any apps using the "X" button in the right top, the Diamond freeze and I must reset it, instead if I can close the apps using the Exit voice from the internal menu, the app close correctly.
I've got the same problem if I try to open the application management menu that appears only in the home (with the list of open apps and the 3 icons). I click on the "little arrow" in the right top and the Diamond freeze.
If I go to Start -> Settings -> System and then i click "Managed Programs" the Diamond reset.
I think is a problem of Windows Mobile.
Anyone had the same problem?
Thanx
Recently, I've been getting a slight glitch (don't know if that's the proper word) after holding down the home button to view recent apps. After doing it, and pressing the home button to go back to home, I get the pop-up box to select the default home. It seems that every time I view recent apps, it erases the default home... I tried uninstalling home++, which is what I use, using a different home alternative, and the same happens.
Anyone else have this problem?
This might be a simple error on my part.
Edit- I check it to be default, but viewing recent apps seems to erase the default option.
When you press home there should be a box with default box to check. If check then the default or alternative home replacement should now be the default return when going home.
Checking the box doesn't do anything... viewing recent apps erases the default home setting.
Update
I wiped and am still getting the same issue.
I'm running cyanogen latest...
this started happening randomly, and I've tried to find the cause but haven't been able to...
is anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here on two phones I hadn't correlated it to the holding of the home button but I just tested it and that is the problem. This is annoying, I don't have many shared apps between the two phones either to blame.
Last night i installed 2 games together with 20-30 aps after a hard reset. However they do not appear anywhere. Not in the app drawer or in the application manager.
When I try to reinstall them it asks to replace the application and then once I press install it says "out of space, free up some space and try again".
How can i delete them?
Please help I don't want to hard reset again cause it took me forever to get all the apps and setting right!
On Home Screen Long Press Home Button Then Task Manager Then Select Package Tab
Thats the problem, they dont appear anywhere but when i try to install them again it asks if i want to replace and then it gives me the not enough space error.
LoL, I know it sounds confusing. What I am looking for is some kind of task manager that lets me use it by pressing a hardware button (long-press prefered). Similar to CM7 (that exits the app when long pressing the back button, but it doesn't kill the process/service, only exits back to home screen). I specifically need this to terminate the browser apps as I found them to be eating a lot of RAM (stock, doplhin, opera, doesn't matter).
A similar method (by long pressing the back button) would also be prefered. Any of you know of such an app?
CyanogenMod and Zulu roms have an option to press and hold the back button to kill the app. That's probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.

What is the disadvantage if apps eat a lot of ram? Android already can manage it automaticly. If you need ram, it kills the apps.
Yeah, but I want it to kill the right apps, the browser that is.
I know its not exactly what you're looking for, but with Miren Browser, you can exit the app through the menu

Yep, doplhin has this as well. But it's not what I'm looking for.
There is something tho that just popped un in my mind, I was thinking of a some kind of task manager that would have a "shortcut" to kill apps. I could uncheck all the apps and check only the browser and some others that I'm interested in (gallery and maps also seem to be eating pretty much and I never even open the maps app). Then I could go in CM7 settings and activate that "shortcut" for one of the buttons, like long pressing the menu button for example.
I have a 32gb touchpad 4g device. It has WEBOS on it and had android installed on it. Used batch files to uninstall the old android. I am using toolbox v42 to load the new android. I ran the win batch file and it loads everything to main menu. I select "Install Android" and noting happens. I select any of the other menu items, press home button and nothing happens. Instructions say it will take awhile but tried all night and still same screen. I have used this procedure hours before on a 32gb touchpad (non 4g) and all worked fine. I want to keep WEBOS on it because I have a lot of programs and games installed.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like your home button isn't working.
You can also use the touchscreen by swiping up or down to move the selection and swiping right to select.
do you see file explorer open so you can copy the files from your PC to the ttinstall directory?

The home button works in other programs, but I guess not in toolbox. However, swiping to the right did the trick. Thanks, exceptional program.
