HTC Task Manager for all programs? - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

Good day,
I've been fiddling around with my new FUZE, and I really like using the HTC Task Manager to switch between programs while I multitask. The question is, is there a way to enable it so the Task Manager icon replaces the typical "X" that shows up for running programs?
From what I know if it now, the only way to access the menu is to go to the Today screen. So basically, every time I want to switch to a different program, I have to press the Home button and access the Task Manager from there. It's quite annoying, and I want to see if it's possible to switch between programs using the Task Manager without having to go to the Today screen.
I also know that some windows show "ok" instead of the typical X, usually for editing settings for certain things. I don't want the Task Manager to replace the "ok"s, just the "X"s, since most of the time you have to click the "ok"s to save whatever settings you've set in that window.
Thanks in advance!

You might want to check out gscroll (mobilesrc.com). It allows you to switch between apps without going back to the today screen. A horizontal swipe (left to right) across the top of the capacitative pad brings up a little pop-up that shows all the live apps running. You have to be quick (hopefully they fix that), but if you tap the icon you want to go to, that app is then brought up. Otherwise, swiping switches between the last two apps used.

Interesting. So what you're saying is that it's currently not possible to set the default behavior of HTC's Task Manager to show outside of the Today screen? A friend of mine has pointed me to another program called WkTask, and it functions as a program launcher as well as a task manager, no matter what program you're running. It's freeware, so I'm going to give it a shot.

No, I'm not saying that; I actually have no clue if you can get the task manager to appear like you want it to. You may well be able to do it. All I know is that for 5 bucks, you can accomplish the same function using gscroll. It's actually easier, because clicking on the quick menu icon takes a bit of concentration (it's real easy to miss and hit whatever's next to or below it instead). The swipe across the capacitative pad (above the d-pad button) is pretty fool-proof, once you get used to it. Plus, it's kind of cool. You can also use gscroll as a program launcher (up to 4 pre-set programs), fwiw.
WkTask may be the ticket for you, though. I've never used it myself.

Or maybe install program QuickMenu (freeware): http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-quickmenu-v2-7.html

I've tried Wisbar, QuickMenu, and gScroll and found them buggy on the Fuze. Wisbar will do what you want but mucks up TF3D. QuickMenu showed potential but cluttered the StartMenu. I couldn't figure out to get gScroll to work right but then I'm stupid.

actually, can someone tell me which file corresponds to the large task manager that comes up when u hit the top right? ive been trying to find it so i can map it in wisbar? thanks in advance

You mean the quick menu? I think this is what you want (just the cab name):
HTC_TASK_MANAGER_2_1_34563_3R.CAB

yep, the actual quick menu. but, i dont see the htctaskmanager. i see taskmanager.exe and taskmanagerapplite.exe. but, neither one of those is the actual quick menu. let me check again it is in windows correct?

Look up "Alt+Tab"... a little program that performs an ALT+Tab command on a Windows PC.
Here are several that I've used in the past.

I'd recommend giving Quickmenu 2.8 another chance. Once you run once it automatically starts on soft reset and its very customizable. I'll just run down the list of things I change from initial install and I end up with only 5 choices when the start menu pops down. It show very small and the 5 choices are "Running Tasks, QuickMenu, Recent, Programs, Settings" they all show as a pop-out menu so its very aesthetically pleasing. OK... here's how its done.
Start --> QuickMenu --> Option...
Options screen pops up --> Here's some screen shots of the choices I use. All menu view items have check in show as sub menu (that makes it a pop-out menu instead of listing in start). No need to move checked items up, only did because they wouldnt show in screenshot otherwise. Other tabs can be left stock or customized to suite you.
Hope that helps.
Also HUGE shout out to EVERYONE on this forum who helps us all have the baddest phones available!!!

i use quickmenu.
migh tgive gscroll a try.

So basically, people are recommending Quickmenu most of all. Personally, I found it to be one of the more practical apps to use, since I love how it doubles as a task manager as well as a start menu replacement. It's great not having to open up a separate window to access my programs.
I've also tried using WkTask, but it's quirky and doesn't work in ways I like it to.

I reassigned Long Send
to the WM6 taskmanager to do what you want to do.

i also want this, how to replace the "X" with the task manager or just put task manager in all apps, regards!

How did you do it?

so that the quick menu pops up when in applications?
It's bugged me for ages but only started looking for solutions today...
Cheers.

I have asked this before,even in the mort script thread.
Dont think it possible yet my friend,
there are loads of other task managers that pop up in all programs or by the remap of a key.Just have to search for which suits you.
I havent found one that suits me completely ( Guess am fussy )
Touch Commanders one is of my faves but is so buggy,Showcase is ok too.

Pending what ROM you use guys long press SEND (not END) will pop up a task manager, right softkey "switch to" ... done. No harm no foul just as easy as I wrote.
SEND is the "phone button" bottom left in case you don't know or remember.

Hi there, dont know if you are still looking for a solution but try installing htc task manager, after that you should be able to bring up task manager by holding down the answer key until it pops up, cheers

Map X Button App to hardware button

I have been through several very long threads on this and several people have asked but no one ever answers. I am a big fan of the button mapping programs and want to be able to call up the HTC app which shows the currently running programs. I am not even sure what to call it, as I have seen it as X Button, and also as Task Manager. However, I am not looking for the settings menu Task Manager utility which is the full fledged program allowing some setting changes and adding programs to the excluded list, etc. Rather I am looking for the Pop Up menu that comes up when you tap and hold the close button. I have search my device for every .EXE and tried them all, yet I still can not figure out how to call this program directly. Is this not possible? Is it similar to a today plug in that requires you to be on the Tday screen to run it? Any help would be appreciated.
I believe Spb Pocket Plus can do this. It has a button mapper, but you can also set "OK" (Butto 4) to "[Close]" (from the default "<Ok/Close>") and that should work.
But thats way on the back of the phone when using the slide out keyboard.

Sorry I thought you were referring to the OK button below the jog dial. My bad.
It's not, really. There are three "OK" buttons. One on the faceplate, one on the left-hand side, and one on the slide out keyboard. I've use the new version of Pocket Plus to map the one on the face plate to "OK" with a press and "Close" on a long press. The button hesh is referring to is the one on the face plate (under the "End" button).
Of course, this is the TyTN II layout, so the Tilt may be different. Key point - there is a way to do what you want with Pocket Plus - map a button (any one you like) to "[Close Button Context Menu]" which is a function that Pocket Plus will add for you (it won't exist without it installed).
still not helping...
i have also read about 150 pages worth of posts to no avail on this topic and would greatly appreciate a solution. i think that some of you are missing the question entirely though so im going to give a crack at presenting the question a little bit clearer.
What we are trying to do here is map a hardware button to whatever process it is that brings up the "HTC X-Button" menu. The specific menu we want is the drop down that appears when the upper right corner is tapped from the today screen. the thread i got the app from originally i cant seem to find for some reason, but heres a link to one i did find link. Heres a screen shot.

}
we do not want to know if there is another task switching application with these features such as the spb product or any others.
thanks in advance for any responses and hope this clears things up a bit.
dislexicmofo has it right. I was looking to call the program "HTC X-Button" from a button instead of a stylis tap. The "HTC X-Button" does not show up as an application, and I can not figure out how to call it directly by another means. I am guessing it may depend on the today screen being in the foreground, however, I would like it to come up without any regard to the foreground application.
FWIW, I finally gave up and installed InClose, as it shows up as a program under the Applications List.
As for SPB, I like their stuff, just not enough to pay for it and I have had many compability problems in the past (although that was several iterations ago),.
So even if SPB did provide this feature, I was looking for a freeware variation.
I tried to ask this same question in the "Latest Cabs for Kaisers" thread stickied at the top:
MAXPOW3R said:
i have installed HTC Task manager v2.00 (build 30740) from dutty's first post. (i can't seem to get the other one to install - which is fine). anyway, this task manager has a "quick menu" in the upper right hand corner of your today screen that you can click with your stylus and that lists all your running applications nicely. i would like to create a short-cut to this quick menu, but i'm not sure how to do it because it is just a part of the task manager program and not a program itself. Does anyone have any ideas? The reason I like this quick menu better than the list you get when you click on the task manager icon is because the list does not go away after you make a single selection. in other words, you can close out several programs from the list instead of having to bring the list back up after you close each application. any ideas?

I don't understand how people can live without this...
It's awful not having a hotkey to the tasklist...
Can this simple thing not be done ?
EDIT: AE Button plus has sorted things out for me
I remember a softkey app back in the wizard days. This closed the program by holding the right softkey down. Forgot what it was called.

Smartskey. I use it almost purely for that reason alone. Press and hold the right softkey and it closes the current app like tapping the X. Or press and hold the left softkey and it opens the Start Menu (which really isn't needed on the Kaiser since there is a Start menu button already, but then you could remap that if you wanted).
you're not going to be able to do that. AS someone else said it is depended upong the today screen being in the foreground. The intent of the original app wasn't to be a task switcher, but just a simple task manager to be able to close app from the tapping the X button. That was the original design of ver1. Ver2 brought the additional buttons and the overall look, but it's still not a task switcher and it's hooked into the OS to work only when the today is present.
I know you don't want to hear this but SPB PP4 is the app that will do what you want, and it was designed to do what you want from it's creation. Not only can you pull down the task list in any app (not just today screen) but you can also map the PPT button to their alt+tab switcher, which works just like windows alt+tab combo.
I like the look of the HTC one and the size of the buttons within it, by I find myself using PPC4 more and more...
ya, me neither - i found "VBar" which i mapped to a hardware button and which initializes the X button pulldown, wherein you can switch tasks, close apps, or close the vBar itself (which has a kinda cheesy image-but not bad for free!) haven't figured out how to program it yet? . . . but works right out of the box.

FWIW, I wound up using AEB+, which, strictly speaking is not necessasy for my original question, but it allows you to assign an app close vs an app hide to the press and hold of the OK key. So essentially is does the same thing as the Softskey and more.
I then installed InClose Mobile. You CAN map this to the hardware button and it will open regardless of whether you are on the today screen or not. If you try it, be sure to turn off the HTC button as it will cause a conflict.
VJOkButt allows you to simulate a click on the screen.
I have used it in conjunction with pBar (a better replacement for HTC Task manager) or you can just assign a shortcut to pBar to a hardware button. This was the easiest way for me.
Is there a way to map the front-face "OK" button (button 4, I believe) to close the opened application without using some kind of extra button mapper?
Using Contacts to make a phone call and then having to close the contacts program afterwards without simply pushing a button is really annoying. Remapping the OK button to close applications entirely would be nice.

Shortcut to COMPLETELY Shutdown / Power Off the Kaiser? **SOLVED BY _DrG_**

My apologies if I've missed an answer to what seems like a fairly straightforward question. I searched around and found the question asked a few times over the past few years, but unfortunately no satisfactory solution. Perhaps this has now changed?
Does anybody know of a shortcut to COMPLETELY shut down / power off the Kaiser? i.e. the equivalent of pressing and holding the power key, then selecting "YES" at the "Power will be turned off and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?" warning (sorry for overemphasising this but in previous threads people have offered answers which referred to the screen off / semi-power off / suspend state - not what I'm after in this instance).
psShutXP is a useful program but the "Shut Down" option does not completely shutdown my Kaiser - i.e. it wakes immediately on sliding the keyboard or pressing the power key.
I have seen suggestions that \WINDOWS\PowerOffWarning.exe might be the solution - I cannot get this to run from Total Commander or File Explorer, nor can I get it to run from a shortcut. Is it protected in some way as a system file?
If possible I'd like to achieve this without installing any software, or at least just installing something with a very small footprint - i.e. not iLauncher, Wisbar etc (which are fine pieces of software but I like to keep my machine as fast and lean as possible). I'd be quite happy with simply being able to raise the Power Off Warning mentioned in the first paragraph with a shortcut, rather than having to having to hold the power key down. As part of my job I need to frequently switch my device completely off. I am running WM6.1.
Many thanks and again, my apologies if I've missed an obvious answer to this. My portion of humble pie is on the table in front of me, ready to be eaten...
http://tiltsite.com/2008/04/tiltsite-software-spotlight-psshutxp/
It's an awesome app and takes up almost no space.
Thanks for the reply, but as mentioned in my first post psShutXP does not completely shut down / power off my device - it simply puts it into the low power sleep / suspend mode (where it can still receive calls, texts etc. and will wake immediately if you slide the keyboard).
I am looking for a shortcut to completely turn off my device, just like when you hold down the power key for a few seconds and hit yes when the warning comes up.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks.
JC6 - I've been in the position for a while - and I've still come up with nothing.
I agree psShutXP is a useful application, but the power off function doesn't do what it's supposed to.
raiisak was going to work on one a while back, but I'm not sure if he ever got to it.
Yeah, I figured that if there was an answer to this one it would be easy enough to find on a search - it seems like the kind of thing quite a few people would want so I guess it would have been done by now if it was easy to do.
I'm not a programmer, but surely when you press and hold the power button it is executing some sort of shutdown function which can somehow be accessed through alternate means? \WINDOWS\PowerOffWarning.exe would seem like a likely candidate for this (and has been mentioned on a few threads) but it won't run when you try to access it directly (on my Kaiser / WM6.1)
I tried using VJKeyPress (great program) with a shortcut to the power key but it only seems to emulate a single short press. I couldn't see a numeric key code for a long press of the power key.
If anybody comes up with anything it would be very much appreciated...
Hi, has anyone come up with a solution for this. I have been searching the net for a while now to achieve this and have tried numerous software programmes, but have found none that achieve a complete shutdown of the device.
Ok had a little play with this, i can get the power off dialogue to appear from a shortcut using any one of the following commands and parameters in a .lnk file:
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff"
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" \ExitWindowsEX (EWX_POWEROFF, 0)
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" \ExitWindowsEX (EWX_SHUTDOWN, NULL)
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" \ExitWindowsEX
Not sure if any of this helps you guys out but i've attached an example, maybe some else will know a way to be able to bypass the yes/no prompt.....
Well this seems to have completely solved the problem, thank you so much! I couldn't be completely sure, but I spent a LONG time searching around for a solution to this issue, and I believe this may be the first time it's been successfully implemented (which is surprising given how it would seem like a function quite a lot of people would want).
Personally I'm not too bothered about the yes/no warning - it gives me chance to abort the process if I select it by accident.
Thanks a lot _DrG_, nice job!

Nice job!! I know the OP said "No extra software" but just though I'd throw in that I bet MortScript could be wrapped around this link and hit the Yes for the user.
Now I'm trying to think of how I'd use this...
how you sposed to put this shortcut on today screen?
Personally I access mine from WM5NewMenu (I love this program) - you could also put it in the start menu (copy the shortcut to \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS and it will then show up as as an option for one of your items in the Start Menu).
If you want it to appear on the today screen then any program which allows you to launch shortcuts from a today plugin (e.g. iLauncher etc. - you may well already have something like this) will do this for you. It's "just" a shortcut (which is the best thing about it - i.e. no need to install anything extra which clogs up your system).
Cheers.

Oh for those with mortscript try this, it'll bypass the prompt (well click the yes of the prompt) for you, so nice and automated!:

MouseClick(80,185)
you may need to tweak the sleep parameter, 750 does it for me....

coz im a nice guy, heres how you do it, well the "easy way" (as apposed to assigning the icon to the PowerOffWarning.exe then having to resign it to reflect the icon... )
Just keep the PowerOff.exe installed on your device, wherever it doesn't matter, ill assume for now is in \Windows\ on your device.....
basically the .lnk would have to look like this to use the icon your after:
Code:
31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff"?\Windows\PowerOff.exe, -101
OR if you have the PowerOff.exe somewhere else on your device, just replace ?\Windows \PowerOff.exe with your location
Here's the updated .lnk with the icon parameter pointing to the PowerOff.exe if its in \Windows\....
You may require a reboot to reflect the change on your device....
If all goes to plan you should be left with this beauty:

WOW! _DrG_is the man! I was looking for a long time too for someone who figured this out. Thanks a million! Just one request to anyone out there to make this even better. Can someone please figure out how to map this shortcut to the "shutdown button" on psShutxp. THAT WOULD THEN BE AN AMAZING APP! Please can someone figure out how to do that. Thank you!

Great, thx
As soon as I just started to read DrG's solution on previous page I decided to make a cab, but you have already done it. thx
(and BTW @OP: is your power off button on your kaiser broken or you just wanted it just because psshut didnt work correctly?
Personally I'd still use the physical power off button on my kaiser, but certainly it is great idea for other devices that may not have such option, ie my old iPAQ6515)
/edit
@surur
I see you used hardcoded path to "\Windows\Start Menu" rather than %CE11% or %CE17%
You are aware it makes your cab for WWE only, right?
Could someone please please please integrate _DrG_'s amazing find into psShutXP so that the "shutdown" button actually shuts down the phone. Im sure a lot of people would really like this.

I didn't even know there is a task switcher that comes with Myn's build. I use Taskpanel, I don't think there is a short cut key for switching task.
i didnt know either - i use advanced task manager to close programs then just relaunch from home
task switcher would be nice
its built into android
get your hands on any android phone and long hold the home button
a little task switcher comes up
i guess with the new keymapping it disables it
i wonder if myn could incorporate this into his next build
or i think it'd have to be dzo in the next NBH file or something
yeah, there is a built in task switcher, but you need a hardware key to activate it. as previously stated, we used to have a hardware key mapped to it, but no longer. i used to use a combination of NotifTS and Task Switcher (by Tools), which worked pretty well (notifTS gave a notification bar shorcut for Task Switcher, which is a pretty slick customizable task list). Anyone have any other good suggestions?

free advanced task manager on market. It does it all.
I'm a memory nazi - it would be nice to be able to access the built in one lol. I do have the pay version of advanced task manager cuz I'm such a high roller lol
it's a great task killer/manager. but a great task switcher, IMO, is one that takes the fewest clicks to switch between apps, can be accessed while in another app, and is fast - you can't be waiting two, three seconds waiting for the app list to pop up. two actions to change to another app is ideal (one to activate switcher, one to select app), but without a hardware key mapped, this is hard to do.
EDIT: my synopsis: taskpanel, ATK, and notifTS + task switcher are equivalent on number of clicks. notifTS + TS takes a second longer to load, I think because the program isn't actively running (taskpanel, ATK take longer than notifts+TS the first time you click them, then they are super fast, I think they are keeping a process going in the background). on mssmison's rom which actively shuts down apps, the only one that really shows me anything to switch to is notifts+ts, because it can be set to show running and recent apps. so, pick your poison .. .
aside, if you want a task killer, taskpanel and taskiller give you autokill options, and taskiller gives a kill after boot option, taskiller is my pick. taskiller, however, does not allow you to switch to a task with one click (you have to long click) so it loses as a task switcher for that reason alone.
Try TaskOS beta for a one app task switcher like notifTS + TS, has worse lag though, but very customizable (icon size, etc).

I wonder does anyone actually use landscape mode? but if we had to hold and wait for the task switcher to popup it would probably be annoying anyways..

[NhatHoa Roms][FRE/GER/ITA/NLD/PTG/SPA/WWE][29020][Sense 2.5.2021][03May]Stop working

Hi guys, in this thread I will share and update my multilang Roms for HTC Rhodium. They are very simple like stock Roms, there is no third party application.
Only cook with build 6.5.x - 29xxx with start button at the left bottom corner.
Available language FRE-GER-ITA-NLD-PTG-SPA-WWE
Please read the Supporting section before update my lastest Roms.​

INFO:
- Base on Rhodium 2.10 ATT stock Rom.
- Build 29020.
- Sense 2021 from HTC Oboe.
- HTC Beep, as you known, HTCs still stuck with new update for fix login issue again.
- Allmost packge from Leo 3.14.
- Youtube and HTC player high quality work fine.
- Dialer is from HTC Rhodium 2.07 with video call and conference function.
- Pagepool 16Mb.
Before download and update Rom, please make sure your device already hard spl.​
====================​DOWNLOAD: HERE​====================​
Supporting.
Please check Addon folder in my sharing folder in download link, you will find some small necessary applications compatible with my Roms.
They are more improved my Roms work more stable.​
- When you are in incoming call, the display doesnt turn off when the phone reach your ear. To fix, install the cab file with name Sensor_SDK.cab. I will not this issue for the next release.
- When you are using version released date 21thApril. As you know, the people manager in sense 2.5 will works fine with HTC Messaging Client. But in my Roms, the HTC Messaging Client is excluded, so the people manager will get an issue with message section. Such as in the first times after update Rom or hardreset, if you want to send an message, there are 2 methods to send a message. One tap new in Message Tab, it will works ok - no problem. Two: go to people manager, tab the message section, the sreen will be blank, so this is an issue that I talk about. But when you recieved a message or have old message after restored from backup, then open message from Message Tab of Sense, it will bring you to message section in people manager and you are in manila 2.1 Messaging instead of blank. From now, that issue will go away forever. And you dont need to worry about that issue when using HTC Messaging Client, you can get it in the attatchment. Sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what I talk about.
- If you want to disable RSS Hub in Home Tab, pls install the cab file with name: DisableRSSHome.cab
- If you want to revert to standard font, pls install the cab file with name: StandardFont.cab
- If you want to revert to standard icons, pls install the cab file with name: StandardIcons.cab
- If you want to enable auto lock by press power button, pls install the cab file with name: AutoLock.cab then run then save it in tools folder. This cab file is in my sharing folder.
- Youre new user with Tilt 2 and using my Roms. You will get an issue with sliding keyboard, just go HERE for fixing.
- For Dutch users, please install cab file MoreLangEzinput.cab to get Dutch ezinput.
- To add footprints + Document Tab + Facebook tab into version 03May, go to my sharing Addon folder to get it. Note that, Document tab in this cab file still not support for PTG Rom.

do you have a bluetooth device, i found i can't pairing with my bluetooth devices.
i'm still trying to connect but it said no devices found, i'm already turn on my bluettoth device. hmm...should i install more cab for supproting A2DP Profile?
Great job with the Rom chef. I have been using it since yesterday and I have not encountered any issues whatsoever. Everything runs smooth and quick and it seems very stable. I don't know if it's my imagination but it also seems like the home screen is very sharp. Thank you for all of your hard work and for releasing this to us.

Thanks for your help, i really appreciate it!...it is FIX now, it is not because the ROM, it is because of the last setting paired in my last ROM, so i figured it out by resetting my bluetooth devices and try to pair with these new ROM.
And now it works like charm...thank you...i am so happy to use your ROM!

Hi there,
With my knowledge, there is still no application or tweak to make our TP2 lock when press power button correctly without set lock password. However, I would like to provide u an application that you can lock and turn off screen by run it.
Look at the attachment, after install, you should add a quick shortcut in home screen an application with name Lock. Now, you only tap that quick shortcut Lock on home screen, your TP2 will turn off and lock instead of press power button --> your power button will say thanks to you because you no need to press it to turn off.
Update: Another application allow us press power button to lock. Lock.cab

CHT has a setting to enable screen lock upon standby. The Energy roms have a locking application in them that enables this as well.
what's the ram usage on this rom with the start menu on the bottom version?

Doublen1 knew exactly what I was referring to. I didn't realize the feature I was looking for was only available on CHT or Energy roms. The file you provided however, does the trick. It is very quick and doesn't seem to utilize any more ram than without. Thank you both for your help with this. Locking the phone was the only think I was not satisfied with. Now the whole experience with the rom is superb. Thanks again to the both of you.

I tend to have about 65 mb or ram free on average. I also have cleanram on a schedule to run every 3 hours at level 3. Even before I had cleanram on a schedule, it did pretty good. The interface feels very responsive and smooth overall. I highly suggest you give it a shot.
Nice to see a new chef pop up in here. Once you get a name for the ROM, let me know, so I can add it to the ROM repository. I might even write up a review of it soon.

Sure. I've done nothing but use your browser since my last post. My thoughts, after using it on a Focus, running the trial version, YMMV:
I love swiping tabs. I love even more that yours seems to be fast and very little stutter flicking tab through tab.
I like the big back arrow and that it's the same design as the other on WP. Feels like it belongs.
Pinch to zoom and scrolling seems fast and responsive.
Swiping down to get tabs is different. Where it falls apart? We are all trained to flick the shade back up after we are done with it. Obviously, this is only an issue when you try to close a tab but that's counter intuitive as well. I want to press and see an X not hit the button, let alone go all the way down to the back button to get out of the shade. This needs work. It works well when switching tabs, bringing you quickly to your page and rolling up but the other stuff is counter intuitive to me.
Really digging the address bar at the bottom.
Originally I thought the arrow box was an old style zoom to page but, obviously, once press reveal it hides the address bar. A bit of a funky solution but I love full screens. However this ties into something else I have difficulty with: accessing the setting button. It's so difficult hitting those three buttons, man. All the options are cool once you get into the menu but getting there is a PITA. Why not make a menu box, three dots, on the right side of the page and switch the hide the address bar to the left?
You get special props for a Live Tile. I'd even give you a sloppy kiss if you could eliminate the Next Browser front and just make it flip with all my tabs.
Overall? Very nice!
Thanks for all that feedback! I'm always looking for ways to improve Next Browser. To help with the settings issue, you should know that you can actually access it as well by swiping from the bottom of the screen (or from the address bar if you're accidentally hitting buttons).
Does it save passwords and login details?

Thanks for asking. The answer is yes for the most part.
Anything IE supports it should handle just fine. It's not really in my control, but rather handled by the OS. I have noticed a few sites not working though, even in Internet Explorer.
I should be able to submit the next update by Friday. This will be a pretty big update. For more info, Facebook is the best place to follow Next Browser. (There's also an RSS feed if that's better.)

possible improvements I'd like to see
Thanks very much for a great browser. I've bought the full version and have some requests. I'm not sure if you can do much about them, as it's based on IE9, but here goes.
* I would like to see the back button removed (or make it an option) and replaced with the three dots for settings. I like the look of the button, but it's just not necessary as it then gives me two back buttons on top of each other - we've all already got a back button directly beneath it on the phone. So I see it as redundant. As a previous poster mentioned, hitting those 3 dots, even with a swipe is too difficult, so I think they should go there.
* I'd like to see the extra options pop up beneath the address bar, like with Vable browser, when you hit the extras menu button.
* I'd love a refresh button next to the +tab button as i use that quite frequently.
* I'd like to see a way to add the current page to your faves/bookmarks quicker. A star on the toolbar, perhaps?
These thoughts aren't necessarily very well thought-through. I like how you do some things, and equally, how vable browser does some things. I guess i'd kind of like a mashup of the two. I keep pinning one, then the other to my home screen.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely try to do something with the settings to change the toolbar.
Very good: Design and idea. Also a big + for the google search - bing brings not nearly the same results.
But it´s slower than IE, no chance for easy access to the bookmarks, also no easy way to create them. No way to choose between mobile sites and websites in the settings, the dock shows the wrong symbols (lock, when it´s unlocked, open, when it´s locked). An easy access to the settings, also to the saved passwords would be also helpful. Switch down doesn´t work always. In the test version it worked better.
I think, there is much to do.
I wish you good luck for your work.
