Comm Manager Icon on Today page?

I have upgraded my QTEK 9100 to the 2.26 ROM from RIsidoro (eventually...) and where I used to have the Comm Manager Icon on the Today page (bottom right) there is now a battery icon and I must click Start, Programs to launch Comm Manager. Is this by design? Can I restore the Comm Manager icon to the Today page?
Thanks
Andy

What about that little button on the left side of the device?

Yep, already knew about that, I was just wondering whether there is a way to restore it to the Today screen.
Andy

yes
yes please... if anyone has an idea on how to do this... i love that icon on the today screen, im running Moliski's 30 mb rom now... the rom is perfect never had anything better, the only thing missing is that little icon! haha.

Search for PHM TrayLaunch and install it. It allows you to select the buttons in the lower right corner. Search the threads - there are full discussions.

For the power, try this. Make a shortcut of the exe file in windows\startup folder.

idea from Schap's ROM (for Hermes), hope someone can tell me how to do that to support on Kaiser ....

You dont get what I mean, i dont want any tray launch,
this application is called "Schap's Power & Wireless service Manager (shows Bluetooth/Wi-Fi on traybar)" , develop by Schap, just only need power_srv.dll and wirelessMgr_srv.dll and enable some register keys...
besides, this Wireless service Manager = WIFI+BT+Flight mode in a icon..
so now, u know what i mean now??
and sorry for my poor english...

now clear
are you sure, that you need only these two dll files? looks like it has own icon "advanced configuration".. did you try to contact someone from hermes section, to give you these two files + reg. keys?

in fact, I got these 2 dlls from Schap's ROM and copy them (include power.exe) into my TYTN II, then import these 2 reg keys, now there r two icons on my kaiser's traybar, but, but, when I enable WIFI/BT/Flight mode,
only WIFI/Flight mode's icons show instead of wireless icon, so maybe need other dll reg. key i havn't found ...
I have asked Schap several times, even pm him, but still no answer, pity....
so only i can do is ask professional persons here...wow -_-

optiquest,
here is a full package of "advanced configuration". i tried to move it to \windows folder and run application, but there is an error msg. could you try and share your status?

I had problems like u before when i use Hermes..
Have u changed CommManager's details? or try to disable HTC home and try again..
ps: I use standard WM6, use its build compact framework..

change commmgr details? what do you mean?
i do not use htc home
hmm, did you exported some registry? what do you have setup in region settings?

if I change commManager in Advanced config (eg: add 3G or del something etc), next time when I reboot pda, I will get some error there...
Advanced config for me is useless except enable cleartype, so I think KaiserTweak will be better when I want to change somethiing in Registry.

Uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus - Something's Missing

Oh knowledgable HTC folk,
I'm sure I've seen something on this but multiple searches have found nothing ...
I've uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus 4 (I have a registered 3 but was trying 4) and I've lost the HTC close/menu button on the top right of the home screen. Now, the close button only minimises apps rather than closes them fully.
How do I get this button / feature back ... please ...
And an early "Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year" to all,
Gary.

cr*p, I've really tried to avoid this since getting my device about a month ago... Would I be able to backup/restore everything to current state or would it result in the same thing (I presume the worst but just asking)?
Oh, well: I guess it will give me an excuse to load one of the great new ROM's out there. I was hoping to wait for an update with the video drivers first though...

All you have to do is go to the Pocket Plus options screen & uncheck the close button option.

Do you mean I should reinstall PP and then go to the options screen ... ?
Gary.

First go into settings > system > task manager (if it's there) and try to turn on the close button feature. If it's not there, then follow below:
Reinstall of PP4 may or may not work now that you've uninstalled PP4, but it's worth a try.
Also, if you want the HTC task manager back, you can get it here in cab form and it will work fine once installed.

Which task manager cab?
Which task manager cab did you install; there are two but no note about the difference between them. Thanks.

Here's the lastest version that I've been able to find and it works good....

Actually, it was late and the only one I saw when looking quickly through was wktask1_1170 (in the cab collection). I guess this is the OEM version(?).
Is there any advantage for me uninstalling this and installing the latest version (presumably a local customised version)?
Regards,
Gary.

that's not the HTC tassk manager, that is a totally different task manager.

Interesting ....
It did exactly what I expected and what was on the phone in the first place (tiny drop down menu top right corner of today screen, properly closes programs, etc.)
Having said that, I've just checked my "Remove Programs" list and indeed, it says "waku WkTASK"; doesn't sound very OEM to me. Does work correctly though.
Is there any advantage to the other Task Managers that have been mentioned?
Regards,
Gary.

no, actually wktask has more functionality, maybe too much. Are you using a custom ROM? I ask because wktask doesn't come standard in the OEM ROMs.
The HTC version is just a task manager. You can find a screenshot here:

No, I'm just using the standard ROM that came with the phone. For the task manager, I just went to the directory here and picked the first file that I saw with "Task" in the title ....
I confirm again: it does work though
I am thinking about a custom ROM but am 1> fairly confused about the range out there and b> am waiting for a critical benefit such as the new video drivers.
Regards,
Gary.

well no rom is going to have video drivers, at least for now. that would have to come from HTC.
as for which rom to choose, Dutty's are some of the best. Which ever one you choose, make sure to research these forums to get other people's opinions first.

Shortcut For Task Manager?

Is there anyway to create a shortcut for the Task Manager for my Tilt? Thanks!

Which task manager are you using and where do you exactly want to create the short-cut?

Oops. I wasn't aware there are more than one Task Manager on my phone. Not sure which one. I have WM 6.1 installed if that helps. I'd like to move it to my PTT button or anywhere I could.
Thanks

You just have to find the lnk for it and map it via start>settings>buttons.

Well, do you know where I might find the link? Not sure what you mean by finding the link. I mean, I know where to find it by going into my phone's menus. There's no option for it when I go to start>settings>buttons.

wkTask

Introduction: I have searched an answer to my question both in xda-developers, in SE Xperia X1 forum and in wkTask manual.
Questions:
#1: is there a way to have wkTask always on top/in front of WM today screen?
#2: is there a way to add to the laucher other links other than those on Start menu? (to make it simple: how can I add to the launcher links that are in Settings folder? I neither can find them on my PDA)
Thanks to you all, as always!
P.S.: great program wkTask... would suggest to cook it into Jack's lite Rom, using it I can almost use no panels at all!

you've lost me on number 1 im afraid, what do you mean wktask is always showing on my topbar

Ive used WkTask since way back in all my devices, but now with X1 I felt it was causing problems... Some weird crashes and I switched to P +'s task manager... WkTask is great but now I just learned to live with other tools.

that's odd, I found quickmenu causing some issues, not wktask

I stopped using it so long ago that I can remeber exactly what were the problems, but there were some crashes and whatnot..

I use Wktask as well, just not the quickmenu it has. Works like a charm for me!

Works fine on my X1 as well!

#1 is: can I get the wk launcher always on top? actually, I can get it after a vertical move. I would want it to be always on top, but just on today screen.
#2 no answer?! :-( bad for me...

what you want from 1 still isn't too clear, I think it might be a translation problem
You're saying you want it always on top just on the today screen. Which is a contradiction..
I'm presuming that means you only want it active on the today screen, if so then I think the answers no as that's not what Wktask is about..
You can get it to disappear on the today screen by checking the tickbox "hide the task-list when there are no tasks"
I tend to hide always START (manilla-tf3d) and activesync
2) yes but it's not that easy. control panel items are .cpl some are .dll and others are .exe will start normally some wont.
They should all be in windows.

#2 solved, they actually are in windows folder, but I needed to tick the "show all files" option under menu. Then, copy the exact name and insert it manually on the launcher.
However, the name of the .exe, .dll, .*** it is not the one shown on the settings panel
#1 I'll try to explain myself. In Windows (normal one, not mobile) you can have some windows always on top.This mean that the "always on top" window will always stay in front of everything. Now, on WinMo, I really like the wktask launcher. But, it is not always visible on my screen, every time I need to activate it. Is there a way to have it always visible?
Hope I've been able to explain the point, otherwise thanks anyway, I'll survive without this trick, take an English course and come back to explain it

You've made that perfectly clear now ;-)
But I think the answer is no. Maybe ask the author of WKtask if he could implement it as an option?
You do know that you can set the launcher to open by Drawing down with your stylus from the X of wktask?
That's pretty instant on my X1

yep thats correct, its the battery level
first time i used it i hated that, but now i find it indispensible
you can turn it off in the preferences - general2 tab

question for the one who use wktask with their xperia: The OK button (not the OK from WM, the OK touch in the right bottom corner) does not close the program but hide it when wktask is launched. Is it a bug or something expected ? If it is not a bug, how is it possible to close any program by pushing the OK key, as a default behavior ? any idea ???

Launcher settings backup
Hi, how can I backup settings of WK Task Launcher?

Go to the preferences menu of wktask. Tap on the 'Actions' tab, and you can set preferences for the OK button.
WKtask works great on my xperia. I don't use the launcher at all, but I wouldn't know how to function without the task manager.

WKTask Launcher settings Backup
Here is answer from directly from maker of WKTAsk:
The settings of WkTASK are written in registry.
So you can backup them by using "PHM Registry Editor".
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Backup steps
1. Open \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\waku\WkTASK.
2. Tap&hold WkTASK folder icon
3. Select "Export" and input file name
Regards,
waku
I use for this not PHM Registry Editor, but Total Commander, and without problem. In new phone/install only copy the WkTask.reg into registry and softreset. It´s easy

Is the a New WkTask for WM 6.5 ?
I have Att Tilt2
