Tried it nothing changes
i only use this because i can launch a program by holding the exit button!
is there another tool to do this?

long press end key allows basic functions but not specific programs im afraid. I cant think of anything other than WkTask. ANY HELP???

i dont mean end key i mean the "X" on the screen

did u map launcher in the settings, works perfect for me.

i mapped it but it jsut appears the first time, if i start it again in shows up invisible and i can press the ddisplay at the right possitions!

When you are using the BatteryStatusPlugin in the to-day screen, thenn deinstall it, and the wkTask works after that correctly. It was so by me.

Yes its BatteryStatus
I love this Plugin it worked under WM6
edit: seem to work again after remove and activate batterystatus again

I get the exaxct same thing. I disabled all of my today plugins but still only see wtask launcher when first launched after that it is invisible only the next and exit are shown in the bottom bar.

Hi everybody.
Same issue. After a few days wktask got invisible. I dont see the gui. No icons at the top and the launcher doesnt work. I solved the problem by uninstalling wktask, delete the registry entries and reinstall it. So it worked for a few days. I dont found out, because of that it disappear. But somebody means its BatteyStatus. I installed the HomeScreen PlusPlus ...
Are there any solutions about this topic? I always need both tools.
Thanks for help.
Regards

BatteyStatus = HomeScreen PlusPlus
Just a name change
Yes i solved the problem the same way just reinstall both and it works
but thank you for your (late) answer

Can't work no more than 3 apps
Guys,
I got strange problem with WKTask. When I added more than 2 app on launcher, it failed to launch. So I use FDC Soft task manager then tap action-run app-WK Task Setting. Delete all of apps from launcher it run back normal again. Is anybody got the same problem w/ me? If no, please advise.
Thanx

Quick menu, X, and ok problem!

I've searched through the forum but can find nothing about this problem.
For some reason the quick menu no longer drops down.
When in a program or menu such as programs (WM) the icon top right has the X or ok on top of the quick menu icon, both showing as in screenshots.
I have triend enabling and disabling quick menu in Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button.

you need to pick one x button or the other
if your gonna use windows go into quickmenu options and disable the x button and all related options
if your gonna use quickmenu x than go and disable windows task manager via control panel

I want to use quick menu, so I have both Enable the "X" button end running programs and Enable Quick menu on today screen, which i'm sure was default (i have htc rom 1.37.405.1 wwe). then when pressing button, list would drop down with x, spanner, and mem icons and list of running programs. this no longer happens.
to disable win task manager in control panel do you mean in the registry. if so which key, i can only see default and group.

Installing some other applications can interfere with HTC task manager and give exactly the symptoms you describe. For me it was installing Spb Mobile Shell. Sometimes after a soft reset it would work for a while and then stop working. Sometimes it wouldn't work at all. Could this be your problem?

Could be I suppose although it was working fine for at least 3 days after installing and using spb. Could it be from using task manager through spb and if so is there a way of changing it?
anyway i might get rid of spb mobile shell as i don't think it's that good and see if that solves it.
SOLVED: or at least back to normal after removing spb mobile shell disable buttons in task manager disable touchflo soft reset and enable all again.
update: i've installed spb again to see what happens, so far quick menu is still working so I'm guessing problem occurs when task manager is used through spb.

Task Manager Suggestions?

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 have Task Manager in in the Start Menu or on the Today Screen?

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

Task Manager isn't an option
I tried that first...it doesn't show up as an option in the start menu or today screen. Stock AT&T Rom

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.

After installing SPB 3.5, my task mgr is glitched. any solution?

it appears that my task mgr at top right of screen button has just disappeared, but when I change panels, it appears again but not functonal.
Only if I load the task mgr manually it works, solution anyone?

EDIT: Task mgr works on other panels.

im still bugged on this, any help?

I thought that the spb one replaces the built in one.
I've just mapped the spb shell on to the right hard button, I much prefer the finger friendly spb one.
