I have seen that and used that but even after removing them from there they seem to be still active for example I was on XDA app and double tapped home then removed it but it was still open. Tried it with Pandora and Google play music and neither stopped playing music after being removed.

That's not task manager dude, that's recently used apps.
You need to go into Settings -> Apps -> Running apps to see your running programs. however, it's quite generic. RomToolBox has a better task manager. I'm pretty sure any task manager is better than the stock.

Actually swiping away apps like that is a task manager of sorts. Back when Google first introduced the swipe away feature in android, they stated this action kills the apps activity but not it's service (if it has one), hence why the music app didn't stop playing music, because that's a service not an activity.

HTC navigation software

Hi I recently had to factory reset my desire hd. Today I opened the car panel and the navigation button is greyed out, and I cannot find the application in the app draw. Does anyone know a way to get hold of the .apk or can anyone post it up. I still have the map files on my SD card.
Thanks.

Try adding the Footprints widget to see if it gives you the option to redownload locations, I had a similar problem and that did it for me,

I don't have a footprint widget in my list of widgets...

Well I put the locations widget on the home screen and got into the navigation, and activated my free trial (something I didn't do before, or have to do) and the icon is no longer blanked out. However I'm sure there was a direct link to the map application without having to go through the car panel.
Thanks for the help, looks like footprints has been combined with locations etc.

Sweet so the app is there, are you still missing the locations app in your app list?
try going to: settings -> location -> reinstall (under location service)
this reinstalls the htc locations app
I reinstalled it for a second time and it is now functioning and the icon has been restored, thanks for all the help guys.

Search: only foreground app killer

I looked for a solution long time for this, no success.
I wanna an app that can kill the active (foreground app) only, like in Cyanogenmod "long press back button kill".
I wanna assign to a hardware key this app to kill my active app.
(there is a "shake task killer " app, but I dont love it)
Anybody?

Probably irrelevant now but

I use the widget running apps that comes with the original. Is that of any use to see apps running and stopping?:banghead:

Are there any apps that are booby trapped?

Are there any stock apps that other apps rely on to function, or cause the phone to stop working properly if you uninstall them?
For example, Handcent has an option that allows you to make it handle all MMS and SMS messages for the phone. But if you uninstall the stock texting app (Mms.apk) you won't be able to send/receive pictures even with that option enabled.

"my files" is another one. If you uninstall that you can't upload pics with the email app even if you have another file manager.
And if you remove the task manager, holding home and selecting task manager will obviously cause a fc.

Does that affect the Gmail app and any other email app also or just the one named "Email"?
I'm on Doc's Master ICS V12 and I liked the task manager UI from MyUI Euphoria better. Can I just steal the Task manager apk from one ROM and install it on another or will it break something? Not sure how dependent things like that are on the ROM they're packaged with.

That probably will not work. That task manager relies on some miui sources so you will need to do some tinkering to make it work on a non miui rom. So most likely not..

Yes just the app named email
Also, without "my files" you can't choose your own sound as an alarm With the "clock" app, you can only use system sounds without it
And without the stock gallery you can't change the lock screen wallpaper
This all applies to touch wiz roms, not aosp

Can't see my own apps on Google Play

This might sound a bit strange but since I flashed Bulletproof kernel yesterday I can't seem to view my own apps or settings on Google Play, I've attached a screenshot, usually I would click the top right of Google play and i could see my apps but as you can see it only appears to give me the option to search, I've gone through the app and cannot see settings or my own apps, anyone know what's happening here?

Looks like youre on a custom ROM with menu buttons removed. You need to map the menu to another button (ones Ive seen are double tap the back button). When you open the menu you can get that info. You'll have to check with your ROM to see how to access the menu.

If I'm not mistaken that kernel removes the 3 dot menu and maps it to the HTC logo inbetween the back and the home physical buttons

Running Trickdroid ROM but I've just restored my nandroid backup and I can again see my apps in Google play and the menu buttons so it was in fact the kernel that done it.
I'll just stick to stock kernel

You could just flash faux kernel which alreadu uses the HTC logo as a menu anyway. You'll then be able to access it properly.

[Q] Double-tapping home with sideloaded applications

Hello,
I am using null_18 with the stock launcher (Nova is nice and all, but stock just is smoother for the Gear, and it gives me an actual home button). Now, I noticed that the "double-tap home" setting can be changed from Gear Manager. However, it only allows for the applications which come with null (including PDANet) to be mapped to said button. The rest of my apps are completely invisible to Gear Manager, even under the "Apps" tab. Is there any way to make Gear Manager recognize these other apps?
Thanks
Yeah I think I'm just going to stick with stock right now, there's going to be more updates and its going to increase battery and capabilities of the hardware. I really don't want for Android functions from the little watch I just want to basics
