I'm looking for a task manager that I can launch with a hard button with the help of AEButton,
in which I can scroll though my open programs using the scroller not the touch screen and close each in turn or close all.
I've tried a lot and they all either;
- They dont have the facility to use the buttons as a scroller, touch only.
- They cant be launched to open using a hardware button, as in the program launches but all I get is the little cross, dot button appear in the top right of my today screen, not actually open the task manager.
- Or they dont have the facility to close all apps.
there must be a simple little program that does this, and im starting to feel like i've tried them all...
I can distantly remember using a version on RomEOS 1.2.1 but cant find any reference to it, it allowied me to 'check' each program and close them, and launched as an actual program, rather than enabling a cross on my today screen. And it wasn;t HTC Taskmanager.
Any suggestions you lovely people? I think one handed PPC use is they way to go and this is frustraiting me.
Install SPB Pocket Plus
Soft reset
Go to Settings-Buttons
Assign "Alt-Tab" on any button you want.
Press button, see all open prg's and scroll with the wheel to the one you want, press wheel and you are there.
Hi,
ever tried WkTask (freeware) ?
Quickmenu does the trick for me. Much better than WKTask. Also freeware. X button closes the app, gives a PC feel to menus and you don't ever have to use stylus.
Thanks for the replies
tried both WKTask and Quickmenu, but evenually settles on HandySwitcher, turned out to be a bonus that you can customise the colours, since i have a white background and couldn't read the white text on the menu.
Success!
Why wouldn't you use the task switching part of phoneAlarm?
You can set the default function to the switcher and be managing open tesks with 2 button pushes.
I second Quickmenu. Once you click the exe once it'll auto start after soft resets. Goto the settings and customize the startmenu the way you want. I set mine up to have Running programs first and that set to be shown as submenu and then it allows you the close one or close all feature, quickmenu popout second, then a break and then program, settings, and office folders all set to submenus and then my regular programs as links below. I can control it all with my finger or with the jog dial. Retains your windows TSK theme and if you set it to replace windows start menu it is like the other never existed. Excellent program and very lightweight. To fix the text issue I use UI Tweaker. Also helps me match the color to my TSK better. Just my personal preference.
Is there a way to edit the calender button on the today screen? I click it, it opens the windows calender, but I use Pocket Informant for calender and contacts. PI opens with the left soft button on the today screen to the PI calender, but not on the calender button thats in the window. Also, the contracts pulls up the original contact program and not the PI version, but I can live with that as I would hardy use it.
That's one.
The second deals with the portrait buttons. I know they launch all the standard windows calender/contact/etc. Can I remap those buttons? Besides the calender remapped to PI, I wanted to change he "websearch" button to just launch Opera for example.
Oh, anyway to fit more on the "today" screen? Looks like it'll only show 1 or 2 appointments then you gotta scroll the screen to see more.
Is there any way to change the "contacts with contact's photo" which is located in the phone/keypad section (go to the keypad section, that contacts i'm saying is on the left bottom corner) instead of the Manila home sceen left bottom corner's contacts?? i dun really like the wm default contacts>_<.......
Thanks a lot~~~
Hello all,
Is there any way to add an application button on the dialer skin, that could be launched during a conversation? For example, one could launch Vito Audio Notes directly from there, instead of having to go through Programs.
Unfortunately, Topaz does not have hardware buttons to map them and have a direct launch from there, so the next best thing would be if there was a way to add a software button on the dialer skin...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Regarding Vito, I was advised to use Calls Autorecord, so there is no need for a specific app launch button. Still, it would be interesting to know if there is a way to mess with the dialer buttons and map them to run an app.
Currently MMS, SMS & SIM Manager do not scroll (cursor jog) with the D-pad or scroll wheel.
Took out my old WM2003SE Magician & surprise surprise it does.
Any registry values we can change to activate this ?
My current SIM Manager is v6.45 & without being able to select contacts without the D-pad makes it a useless app as using the finger to tap them instantly opens the contact for editing.
Maybe it's time to look at a WM6.5 ROM !
