Hi everyone,
A while ago, in Dutty's old roms, he included a rather nice process viewer/killer.
I can not for the life of me remember what it was called. It had a small phone as an icon with a graph like bar in the screen.
If anyone can remember what this was and/or where to get it, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
This is probably what you are looking for...
The Advanced Task Manager is Schapps, I use both but prefer the other one as it has many more functions.
Thank you MACkjam, the Schapps one was indeed it!
Couldnt get the other one to work though, probably down to my HDIII.
Anyway, thanks very much again.

I recently installed Alex's rom, and love it. But one thing I'm trying to get that I had on my other is for HTC Plugin. I was able to press on the icon, and set it to hide the items it displayed. So, for eample, the large clock takes up a lot of screen space, I could have it hiddent, then click the icon for it to display. I can't do that with this.
I thought HTC Customizer must have given me that, so I instaleld it, and it doesn't.
CAn anyone point me to the right app to get that setting capability on HTC? There are a lot of posts out here about the HTC screens, but I haven't run across that description.
Thanks!
Bump...
Any ideas ?
I believe you're referring to UltimateLaunch or SPB PocketPlus 4.02, which allows you to install a today plug-in as a tab. Both applications have limited trials.
Alex, you are so good.
Yes, in fact I just came back here to say, I found that wsa it. I in fact have SPB Pocket Plus. But I had forgotten that was how I did it.
I'm making notes of all the changes I'm doing, so next time I do a ROM (I'm sure you'll have one I just have to try later ) that I'll be able to recrate some of my stuff.
Thanks!
Hi everybody.
Hopefully you all can help me out. I recently installed SPB pocket plus thinking I needed that for their Insight, but I now understand I don't. I went ahead and un-installed the pocket plus before i installed insight, and now the task option in the top right corner is gone on my Today screen. So I can't close programs individually or see whats running. Any ideas? Really don't want to restore a backup as I haven't done one since January. Thanks for any help! -Jeff

May have a solution for you but it may not be what you are looking for.
Here is quickmenu. Quickmenu basically sets your device similar to a PC's start menu. Once you install this cab you will find it under start>programs. After you click on the application you will notice a new start menu.
Possible solution: Start>click on quickmenu>option>X-button of screen:Long-press to close, short to minimize.
After you have this set up correcting, simply click start to view your open programs. Fairly simple I have been using this application since I received my Tilt and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hope you enjoy it.
I installed a barebones ROM and found I really liked that task manager in the top right corner....
Do a search on this site for Task_Manager_2_0_30487_2.CAB, it is exactly what you are looking for AND has a couple of other features too.
The difference between this and Quickmenu is that this one doesn't have all the other stuff (although I use quickmenu)....
Hope this helps,

yea, I'm sort of looking just to get the original one back, I'm not sure what I should do. I guess if I don't have a solution I'll be forced to run a backup I did on sprite. Was hoping this was a common problem but i guess not
I had the same problem when I tried the demo out. After a little research on SPB's forums, it turns out that it is a known problem during uninstallation.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you on how to fix it. I was so PO'd that I went and hard reset the phone. I hope that SPB fixes the issue and I'd like to see how support is for WM6.1

I'm tellin' ya, try the one I referenced above, it has just the corner app but where the original has a couple of options above the list of open apps, this offers three little buttons: Close All Open Apps|Settings|Memory %.
This takes up the same real estate the other one uses... give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I actually tried it, and I love. The only thing I don't understand is the functionally, all I can figure out as of right now that it shows memory usage,thats it. Anyway, thanks for the heads up! -Jeff
On Kaiser You can restore the today quick menu (in the upper corner): in the system settings find "X Button" icon - tap on it and there will be an option to turn it on/off. If its suddenly disappeared that can be becouse of something (e.g. 3rd application) turned it off. Thats happend in my case with SPB Pocket Plus on wm6.
I've had a Wing for about a year now (t-mobile). During this time I never really read much about modding the phone and such. However, it is a bit plain and very slow if anything is open.
I've been reading a lot and recently changed the pagepool size and am now working on using PocketMechanic to move stuff to the flash card. I do however have a couple questions:
Should I flash my wing or just optimize how it is now? What is a good home screen I can download that doesn't kill my battery life? What will I be losing if I flash? Do all the ROMs kill my battery life? How can I choose the right ROM for me? I can't decide after reading over a lot of them.
I know someone is going to say use the search. I have and have been reading for hours lastnight. If someone can just help a bit I'd be much appreciated.
i would definatly flash your rom, i would use one of the open touch roms they all have good battery life. flashing your wing is like optimizing without having to take the time to find the programs and do the registry tweaks. a good homescreen i think is spb mobile shell, just make sure you disable smart gestures, i usuall can go around 2.5 days without charging.
Downside?
Are there any downsides to doing this?
Cant think of any downsides, its all for a good cause, oh one downside, you might lose your applications you've downloaded if any. Other than that its WAY better that the original T-Mo ROM
You've been wasting your time using the original stock rom. Flash a new rom (I reccommend ITJE or ASERGs) and you're going to see a 2 fold improvement on your phone immediately.
the one downside is that if you dont follow the directions you could brick your phone
So I tried a number of ROMs today:
-Papa
-Multiple versions of the Open Touch ROMs
Here is my conclusion and thoughts. Perhaps you guys can guide me a bit to a final solution.
They all look beautiful without a doubt. I didn't have any initial problems loading or using any of them except the lock program wasn't locking the volume control. However, just do perform quick tasks like I normally do to lock the phone or go to the comm manager felt like a chore to do. They looked nice, but I had to go through a lot to do anything. The Open Touch ROMs with Throttle Launcher were annoying when viewing mail because you could only quickly see 1 at a time with the large mail that pops up when you click the icon.
I really like the look of the SPG Shell Theme they have right on their homepage, but it's not free. Any of you guys have advice? I use this for work a lot so the mail / calendar / tasks view are really beneficial for me to be viewable at all times like the default theme. This is why I was saying SPG looked nice with whatever theme it is they have on their site.
I will try an Aserg on my phone tomorrow as it looks similar to the default.
Anyways, thanks in advanced for all of the help so far. I really appreciate it.
You'll be very satisfied with Aserg's rom. I look foward to hearing what you think.
Keep in mind, any rom you flash, you'll have to set up a couple of things ... such as the device lock today plugin .. settings, etc ... don't expect a rom to fulfill ALL of your needs from the moment its flashed. When you get into a new car, you still have to adjust the seat, mirrors, steering wheel ..etc.. You can't decide to scrap one car because the mirrors weren't in the position you wanted them to be.
Guys, I'm very much a newbie to all this and have a few questions which I was hoping for definitive answers to (I've searched the threads and there seems to be some ambiguity)
1) Can the call history and calendar options under the clock be removed/changed? If so how? (some people say "no" but one talks about changing some kind of setting!!)
2)Has anyone got a way to put the black HTC theme onto the O2 branded ignito without loosing some of the text (black text on black background on some tabs)....WITHOUT FLASHING....(I think the answer to this is "no" at the moment but if someone could remedy it I would be grateful. I did try it using info on the forums, but aswell as being unable to see some text, it also seemed to slow the phone response time down to a ridiculously slow level.
3)An idea which I think all newbies would appreciate is a really simple guide as to what are the ESSENTIAL tweaks (if any) everyone should make to their phone. I don't mean an endless list, but simply which ones will increase performance, save battery power etc.
Other than the above points, I have to say that I am 100% happy with my new phone. I've never had a WM type phone before and I cannot understand how I managed without one before. I am making plans to learn the basics of how it all works, then maybe have a go at writing some apps etc (If anyone knows of an 'idiots guide' to the whole WM XDA thing please let me know.
Just for your info in case it helps:
ROM 1.93.206.3
Radio 1.00.25.05
Free phone, 600mins, 1000texts, unlimited browsing:- £20p/m
Thanks in anticipation of useful replies,

Hi Matt.
I'm a fairly novice newbie too - had a T-Mobile compavt IV with the white/pink T-Mobile branding which I did not like at all - and decided to Flash after exhaustive forum research etc .... and managed it with a huge sigh of relief.
Anyway, still would be apprehensive about flashing if I had to do it again
But have been playing around with a few visual tweaks - so here's my 2p's worth - hope it helps.
1) No idea on this one - sorry
2) Found a theme that should allow you to use a cool (in my opinion of course) Black theme - http://sharebee.com/9071012f details with in this forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&highlight=black+diamond+theme&page=5
first you need an app called Diamond TF3D Config - cab file attached
Then download the Black Diamond Theme file. Run Diamond TF3D Config, click on "Appearence" tab, and under select theme, click on path and double click the folder where you downloaded the Black Diamond Theme file then click on "ok". Now in the box under "Select Theme", click on the down arrow button on the right and select Black Diamond Theme. Then click on save at the bottom of the page. This asks that you reboot, do so and you should have a classy looking Black Diamond Theme
3) Diamond TF3D Config also has some good tweaks that should increase performance - but unfortunately battery life will always be a huge drawback with the Diamond ... my solution was to get a second battery and a desktop charger that charges the phone and the spare battery at the same time - and I carry a charged spare whenever I go out - search e-bay for the battery and charger.
Hope this helps ... good luck

Hey everyone. I was getting sick of the stock firmware on my Kaiser, so I flashed ROMeOS v4.6 onto it. Everything works great and stuff, but there's no icon in the top-right corner of the Today screen for switching between tasks. I was just going to look for something about how to re-enable this, but then I thought.. "Gee, maybe there's something BETTER out there!"
So are there any better tools for switching tasks for the Kaiser? If not, is there a way to re-enable the task switching menu?
It's probably been answered before, but my searches have yielded zero results.
Thanks,
Racer7
You are thinking of WK Task. I use Quickmenu 2.7. This is freeware and the best app I have for switching tasks, drop dow menus, controlling bluetooth etc etc . Give it a try. Truely indispensible for me.
