Move TaskManger Icon

Hi,
Anyone found a way to move the new windows taskmanger over a few icons towards the middle? It's always hidden under the X and thus useless to change programs. In fact it might be useful to order/move all the icons in the top task bar??
I've always used Magic Button but it doesn't seem to work that well with WM6.1, Ariel or WiseBar might be an option? Otherwise thinking of remapping one of the very scarce buttons??
Thanks.

Somehow I managed to remove the icon completely. Anyone who knows how to get it back?

settings -> taskmanager , choose button tab.

Hi,
Yep, that was how I setup TaskManager.
x Enable "X" button to end running programs
x End programs by tapping "X"
o End programs by tapping and holding "X"
x Enable Quick Menu on Today screen
x = checked
... however the TaskManager quick menu in under the "X" button. i.e. you have to close every program to get to the manager to change to the program you want ... but now it's closed??
I could use tap & hold to end, then minimise every program to change, but I was thinking like magic button - if I could just move the |||> icon over one space to the left I could tap TaskManger and then go to the program I want. Maybe I'm just being really really dumb?
Missing TaskManger dis this fix the problem?

How to kill all running Apps with ONE HIT of a Hard Key??

It absolutely does my head in when i find all these apps running in the background sucking up battery paower when i thought i had closed them off.
there must be a way to re-map one of the hard keys that kills all running apps in ONE HIT!
sorry guys if there a post asking for this already but I have searched & searched for what would, in my mind anyway, appear to be soething really simple & definitely a necessary tweak.

I have it so the X button closes the app rather than minimizes them, not had a problem with apps not closing with this other than the photo Album not closing.

i would prefer a hard key... i fat fingers & that tiny little icon in the top ight hand corner is just too bloody small!

Without the use of a task manager program there would be no way of doing this. I've used magic button and SPB Pocket Plus before and both of these will allow you to do this.
To be honest tho the quick list (top right) in TF3D has a big X button that closes all current buttons, so in my opinion no point bogging phone down installing big programs like SPB Pocket Plus if you are only going to use that one feature.

There is a small app called "close all" which I had on my old artemis mapped to a HW button with AEButton plus, you could also use HButton for the mapping. I can't find a link to "close all" at the moment, you will have to google it unless some kind person can post it. However I find the built in x button works well enough for me.

If you assign a button to Oxios CloseApps it will do exactly what you want, and compact your RAM too. Also on the page is Oxios Hibernate which will compact (reclaim) your RAM without closing any open apps. These are essential!

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.

HTC Task Manager or alternative?? What are you using?

Hi, i'm deciding what to do with my task manager. (on stock WM6.1 HTC H3G Aus Rom)
At present im simply using the HTC Task Manager 1.51 (build 33547) but am aware that there is 2.1 around.
Currently i have to toggle back to the today screen to switch applications and i have it set to click X to close the application. (i dont know whether or not apps use more resources if they are left open and not set to run in the background,any ideas?)
I want to know what others are using or their thoughts/experiences on these other Task managers. gleaned from Vibranze post here

HTC seems to improve ONLY the look and feel of their task manager from version to version so upgrading to a new version of HTC task manager will give you a different, possibly improved, look and feel. also, if you intend to use manila (2d or 3d), you'll need to use a newer version of HTC task manager.
finally, search for "Task Facade" developed right here on xda by gps-lover. its an EXCELLENT task manager that i suggest you map to the PTT button...makes "visual" task switching a breeze!

TaskFascade looks interesting. Does it disable the HTC Taskmanager?

I use WK Task and swear by it. It creates a PC type program manager and launcher on your phone. Has many more features and is very customizable.

nope! thats the beauty of it...you get to keep HTC's task manager (with its tap "x" to kill or tap and hold "x" to kill functionality as well as its presence in the home screen) while task facade can be invoked just by pressing the hot key you've assigned to it (i use the short press of the PTT button)
not 100% sure but i think task facade can work with ANY task manager that sits in the home screen (such task managers usually take over the "x" button functionality)

I use QuickMenu+DotFred's TaskMgr.exe, check this post for the way to associate them.
From QuickMenu, you got a task switcher, communication manager, commandline utility, RAM releaser, a lot of useful shortcuts and a real time indicator of battery + available RAM. And it is a very lite tool uses around 130kb RAM on running.
As to DotFred's Taskmanager:
Noonski said:
A lot of long time member and cooks have DotFred's Taskamanager in the toolkit.
Some Taskmanagers do not show ALL running programs.
Dot Fred's does more, shows Processes that can be enalbed and disabled at Start or stop them actively. Has a registry editor, Notification editor, can parse Provisioning xml files and even register DLL files. It's a Tweakers dream.

I also use VJOkbutt, I set the function of 'X' button to 'short press to minimize & long press to close'. I use HButton to map the Ok button work in this way: just press = minimize (the ok/close function in hbutton actually = short press 'X'), press & hold half second = close (VJOkButt), hold another half second = end others (brought by QuickMenu), another more half second = end all (from QM), and another half second = soft reset (by QM or TaskMgr), and then the last function = Today (by QM or HButton).
To switch tasks, just using QM.

How can I assign a hot key to Task Facade? Can't find any config tool or menu...

Via Settings\Buttons and if you want to be able to map even more check this program AE Button Plus

Thankyou

Thank you!
Will give it a spin as soon as possible!

downloading now
will flash in a bit

am using this now. havent tested much but i noticed when it boots theres a mortscript error msg. something to do with titanium plugins?
and i like the wm6.5 start menu icons but the scrolling can be smoother.
photo swiping under photos and videos tab is laggy.
after disconnecting from pc, the two touch options on the bottom is stuck on all the tabs.
on the left is All Programs and right is Remove. they dont change according to the tab. i hv to restart TF3D to get it back to normal.

What's new about this ROM? Any improvements?

flashing it at the moment. i am so bored i need to play with my x1.

I tested Windows Media player with some clips created with Super and the video rendering sometimes slows to quickly catch up. This didn't happen in the previous version.
I've heard about tools for speeding up access to the memory card. Maybe that helps.

Also the soft keys gets stick to "all programs" and "remove" after you change from the programs tab
Other than that.. omg fast ROM

... testing further after reflashing ....
The first time I selected "Settings" I could see the soft button "All Settings", but when I selected it, I ended in the Communication Settings menu, repeatedly.
Back at the Home menu, I tried Settings again, but this time it only shows "All Programs" soft button. Clicking on it generates no action. I can't find a way to go to All Settings.

similar bug to what i reported, seems to occur on all tabs, but most reproducible on program tab for me.

I noticed in the first version some bugs:
1. when you open most apps like message, opera, contacts and etc, when you press the upper left portion (inbox, url adress, search contact) it takes you to the app shortcuts/home of wm 6.5
2. camera button does not work
3. the lower left shortcut(all programs) on standby mode does not work and does not change when you switch between Touch flow apps like messaging, email, fave people, etc.
Overall awesome ROM as always

The camera hard button works for me. Once to activate the camera and once to take a picture.

... more testing ...
I installed latest Skype and it worked almost fine calling to a normal phone, except that when the screen goes black (for energy saving) the conversation was interrupted.
I had to press the power button to resume. After that, I had to keep touching the screen to keep the conversation alive.

You can disable that feature in the WinMo Setting, isn't it?
Or delay the time before it will go in Standby
What's the difference between 1.2 & 1.1?
New drivers/tweak improvements or bugfixes?
Anyway it definitly looks promising ;-)
Keep up the good work, Smaberg

i stick to ur roms..i flash this one immidiately now..
