TASK MANAGER Tweak for SPV M700 Help!

I've just got an Orange SPV M700 I am told that the HTC version of the ROM for the Trinity comes with a Task Manager Icon in the Setting section.
This, as I understand it, allows you to control the way in which you end programs. ie. you can actually STOP them by hitting the cros instead if closing them and leaving them running in the background.
Orange for some silly reason has not included this. Anyone know how I can add it?
Is it a registry tweak or a program...?
Thanks in advance!!

Here you are:
I think that work's for you...

anyone got this to work with m700 as i have tried and it does not

Ok so i manage to make a cab from file's to i take from windows dir...
Here it is test it and say if work's..
Thank's

no joy, have the icon in the system tab for task manager and have enabled the x button but the programs still run under memory - running programs list.

I'd just like to add that if you're looking for a better app than that HTC one is Handyswitcher by Dinarsoft. Sure it costs around $6 or so but it's an essential tool.

I've got the HTC version with English ROM and it doesn't have a Task Manager setting. You have been misinformed.

I no the UK one hasn't but if you use the GPS enabled ROM downloadable from here (as a colleague of mine has) then the Task Manager is present. this is the function I'm after! I also a a Newbie to all this mobile stuff (I've been in IT since DOS version 1 though!) cannot understand the merrit in leaving the programs running....perhaps someone can explain this to me, ie. the Pros and Cons of exiting agains Closing programs.
Ta!

Not that I really believe what I am saying but leaving memory management to the OS should allow for the most often used applications to run in background so that they can move to foreground very quickly when you need them. As a matter of fact with large programs like Opera it makes quite a difference.

Tried the Task Manager Cab and it does not work, it still leaves the programs resident in memory. All install ok and behaves itself and appears to be find but just plain old fashioned "does not work" Sorry!
Any other thoughs ideas from anyone?

HTC Task Manager

How can I add a program name to the exclusion list?

click and hold, add to exclusive...

I guess I have to be more specific. You mean I can add a program from the running programs screen to the exclusions list, right?
However the program I want to add to the exclusions list (PhotoContacts) is not showing up in the running programs list.

which version of the task manager are you using?

Get the 2.0 one.

But this one is cooked in. How can I remove it?

Files in ROM can usually be replaced by newer versions / with the same file names.

Ok, will try to install v.2 on top of the v.1.51.

I've replaced the v1.5.1 with the v2 but still don't see PhotoContacts in the list of running programs.

Thanks

Clock disappears
Hello. I installed this program, and after the reset the clock does not show. The additional tabs are there, but the flip clock disappears. Any sugestions woul be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a strange problem installing this cab.
After installing I need to soft-reset, done that and after that te TF3D menu shows the extra tabs, exactly as it should be.
But after changing the tabs in advanced config (I only need home - messages - programs - weather - comm. manager), advanced config will be minimised and my changes are made, except for the extra icon for comm. manager.
When I enter advanced config again, the extra tabs (calendar, comm. manager, etc.) are gone.
Anyone with the same problem?

how well does this work with att tf3d? i have call history and it works really well but when i last tried to do calendar tab it was horrible. i really want a comm manager tab too more than anything else but i wont complain if the extras work too.

i installed it on my fuze and its not horrible. the text color is wrong though. how do i change it from white to black so i can see it on my snowy white background?

I install the .CAB, but have a problem - with my ROM have a Call tab who I disable by DTF3DConfig, but now with this .cab I get one more Call tab and can`t disable the 2nd. How to fix the problem with Advanced Config? Can anybody "cut" the .cab and make him to install only Comm Manager tab(this is the most importan for me)?
Cheers!

It is not the stock Comm Manager
My stock AT&T Fuze Comm Manager has a Data and 3G tab while this replacement one only has Microsoft Push whatever that is. I can still run the original CM in Connections and I can also select the tabs I want but the selection are ignored by the custom Comm Manager.
How does one edit what is run for each Tab? I would like to run the original Comm Manager and replace the Weather Tab with SPB Weather which looks great on an all black themed Fuze.

yeah i wanna change out the microsoft push to data connection too. i also want to change the text color too so i can see it on my phone. if anyone knows how. pweez?

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5

I've been doing custom ROM's for years. I just got a replacement Fuze because mine had the oily rectangle under the digitizer.
Totally stock 6.1 phone with ATT 5.11.00.00 ROM.
I said...."what the heck...I'll go see if the SPB Mobile Shell has improved"
Absolutely gorgeous. I disable TF3D and run the SPB MS 3.5 and it is pure SWEETNESS!
For anyone that is afraid to flash their phone...this is a great option!
For all you diehard ROMMERS you need to give this thing a look. SPB MS 3.5 is MUCH improved from version 3.
You may find out that there is no need to use a custom ROM when you see this in operation.
Very fast and very intuitive. You can master all the features in an hour or so.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And watch your battery drain faster then ever. I will admit it's a nice UI but it still has issues.

Does it drain faster because of the software...or because the GUI is so sweet that it makes you wanna play with the phone more?

Double Post.........delete me please.......

TF3D (Manila) is draining more battery than SPB MS 3.5.

Good thing I use Titanium then isn't it.......

SPB 3.5 and Windows mobile 6.5
Does anyone have experience using a cooked ROM 6.5 and SPB 3.5. I am doing the trial on SPB and it looks great

Yes, I'm using it with Timolol's ROM and it's working good. There are two issues however - I had to delete PositionFix shortcut from Windows/Startup in order to SPB MS display properly. Second problem is conflict between SPB MS and Rhodium dialer - if SPB MS is active, you cannot access call history and contacts from Rhodium dialer.

i used SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 until the trial period, might buy it but waiting if the fuze owners will get an official release of winmo 6.5.

I'm using SPB MobileShell 3.4 on SSK 2 ROM - works great
I haven't noticed battery drain running 3.5 on Scott Crosler's SSK from this may. Really love the new interface. Can't think of much they could change at this point being long time user of versions 2 and 3.

I really liked the 3.5.
I was using it on my WinMo 6.1 Touch Pro.
But there was a huge battery drain and every time I used the S2U locking program and Inesoft Calendar, I always got tskmgr.exe, calnot.exe, and replog.exe errors.
I gave up on it.
I may try again when there's an update, but probably not.
It would have been nice to have been able to keep it.

I wondered that myself, actually. Left the phone on my desk at 90%. Bluetooth off; wireless off; any email-pushing/pulling off. Within 30 minutes, it was at 50%. I hadn't even used it. Since I've removed it completely and using the stock HTC/Sprint thing, I'm back to being able to go all day, talking, pushing, pulling, bluetoothing, without having to charge the battery.

the new 3.5 is fabulous! Normal battery drain for me but I have been running shell for the past 3 versions. Maybe because I am using a clean (no HTC mods) and with Titanium turned off the drain is fairly low. Only 14% reduction in 9 hours of use.
Things they could add to the next version:
Ability to add more than one city to the weather app.
Slide Show option for the picture frame widget.
Skins, skins, skins...

My phone has been unplugged for nearly 24 hours. It's at 71%.
I am currently running NRG's 23016 ROM. TF3D is disabled.
The 23071 and later based 6.5 ROM's move the Start menu to the bottom. This conflicts with SPB MS 3.5's buttons on some pages. Anyone have a fix? Thanks!

I contacted SPB to see if they have a media player with album art in the works. I'll let you know the answer as soon as I get it.

samesies...

running into the same thing, hope that NRG continues with the 21864 ROMS cuz i love spb... you using mskip's mods as well? very essential...
also u may want to update that signature

FIXED!!!!!!!!
Use Total Commander or File Explorer and goto your \Windows\StartUp folder.
Do you have a link called "ShowcaseSuite.lnk" ?
You can click it from Total Commander and it will give a message that says "e-Natives Suite has been Terminated".
Go back to SPB MS 3.5 and BANG!!!! Da' ***** is gone. SWEET!!!
You can delete the link from your \Windows\StartUp folder and then it won't come back(It is cooked into NRG's ROM).
Now you can use the SPB launcher. Extra SWEET!!!!!!!

I have a problem with notifications when using SPB MS3.5
When a notification pops up, lie an alarm, or new SMS, the notification popup itself is hidden, and the only way to display it is clicking on the top bar, selecting the notification icon and then it's displayed, along with the softkeys.
Anyone has a solution for this? I want the notifications to be displayed on top of the MS3.5 window...
Thanks!

The overlay of the WM6.5 taskbar on MS3.5 is probably because a version of Showcase by amarullz is installed or burned into your ROM. Deleting startup links to either PositionFix.lnk or ShowcaseSuite.lnk to terminate Showcase is a drastic measure...but I used to do it as well until I discovered the following:
If you want to prevent the WM6.5 taskbar from overlaying the MS3.5 home screen, try the following registry edit (depending upon which version of Showcase is burned into your ROM).
Look for the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology.
If you have a folder named WM65xFix, you have an early version of Showcase_X. Open the folder...you should have a key called "WindowClasses" that has "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS" as the text value. DELETE the text "Manila;" (and add "RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS" separted by a semi-colon if you use Resco Registry Editor). Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay problem.
If you have a folder named Showcase you have the latest version called "ShowcaseSuite". Open the folder...you should have a key called "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" that has a text value of "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS". Delete the text "Manila" and the semi-colon. (Add the value for Resco Registry Editor as above if you use the program) Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay! NOTE: If you want the "X" icon to CLOSE the program rather than minimize, change the dword value of the key "SUITE_CloseOnTap" to the value of number 1.
Finally, if you have the older version of Showcase_X burned into your ROM and want to upgrade to ShowcaseSuite, terminate Showcase_X as described by nimrocket. Reboot. Use Remove Programs (if you can) to uninstall e-Natives Showcase. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
If you don't see Showcase in your uninstall list, again terminate by removing PositionFix.lnk from your startup folder. Reboot. Re-Install Showcase_X available from here (same as link above). Use Remove Programs to uninstall. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
HTH!!!
[edit] Added two .cab files as attachments. If you aren't comfortable making registry edits, use ONE of the attached .cab files depending upon which version of Showcase you have installed.
Use the WM65xFix.cab if you have the older Showcase_X installed. Use Showcase.cab if you have ShowcaseSuite installed. [/edit]

Thanks for the registry info.
Personally I couldn't see why I would want another task manager running at all when SPB has a very nice one built in that is every bit as finger friendly as Showcases.
Deleting the Showcase link doesn't cause any grief and is much easier if you don't plan on using the redundant Showcase tools. But if you want Showcase then the regedit may be for you.

You are right...and Showcase is not without a few issues (that don't affect you when you use MS3.5 and the 3D email viewer) I use Showcase because I also use Resco programs. WM6.5.1 changes the layout of the screen because of the "thinner" top bar. This causes programs such as Resco File Explorer to not display properly. I also like ShowcaseSuite because I can use it to make the "X" button terminate programs rather than minimize...so far it's the only WM6.5 tool I know that can accomplish this, but hopefully others will be developed now that WM6.5 is official!

Where can I get Rhodium Comm manager?

At the moment, I think mine is blackstone, but it's really ugly..
Anyone can post up some screenshots of other comm managers? Doesnt have to be rhodium for wm 6.1

first, you need the TF3D APPS COMPATIBILITY PACK I prepared
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4012039&postcount=6
then, you can add near-ANY TF3D APP you want (including the comm manager)
I made CAB installers for many rhhodium/topaz apps, again: including comm manager
you can find them at post 2, here:
