I have AE Button Plus installed which can re-map my hardware buttons. I was wondering if there was a way to re-map one of my buttons to it can open the HTC Task Manager. Is it possible? I can't seem to figure out how to do it (since the HTC Task Manager isn't showing up in my apps).
Is there a specific file (like an EXE) located on my device somwhere that opens the task manager app in the upper right corner of the screen?

Hi all, searched around and couldn't find the answer to my question. I just installed a Molski.Biz ROM, and I'm pretty sure it remapped the voice dial button to Task Manager. I want to change the Camera button to Task Manager so that I can keep the Voice Dial button as MS Voice Command.
How can I map the Task Manager to the Camera Button?
hey halfsoul did all the custom stuff install for you?
um go into Settings and Buttons
Not an option
It seems like everything installed. In the buttons menu, Task Manager isn't an option. "Task" is the closest thing, but that's not the right one.
Do I need to re-execute a ExtROM cab? Is there a registry entry I can change behind-the-scenes?
As a former Tytn/8525 user, I enjoyed the one button access to the Comm Manager. I used it all the time to limit my power costly modes.
So I installed Spb's Pocket Plus for the Button assignment capabilities. But the default Comm Manager page does not show up as an application when I go to assign the buttons. Several of the 6 Button .cabs on the Kaiser .cab page DO show up.
So my problem is, I wan't to use duttythroy's 10 button black 3g comm manager .cab, which by far is the best and the WiFi switch works, but it also does not show up as an assignable application for a button.
What can be done to accomplish this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

by default, the AT&T rom hid the comm manager from the start menu. You need to add the application's shortcut to the startmenu before you can assign the button. Go into the windows directory and find commmanager.exe and make a shortcut (on your start menu/programs) to this app. Then you can map the app to a button.
if you are using a non-default comm manager, then exe is probably named commmanagerlink.exe
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

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.
I find it annoying having to press OK all the time then going to task manager (which is laggy and have to wait for it to load up the running pprograms).. any light on this?
You can use a third party task manager like Showcase (free), and assign it to a soft key.
Also, AEButtons Plus has an Alt+Tab function that is assignable to many different keys. It also has a Switch to next app function.
I'm sure there are many others.
Showcase, Taskfacade, and Alt-Tab, any of which could be mapped to one of the little silver keys.
Hi! I would like to map HTC task manager to hw button (so it will show running tasks like this: http://techtreak.com/img/20.feb09/htc_task_manager.jpg ) but I don't know which file to execute. Any hints? Thanks a million!
You can't assign it using the Buttons app in settings?
Yes and just select 'Task List (TaskManager)' in settings> buttons
I'm using it for the spb mobile shell task manager by selecting '[Task Mgr]' and it works great
