Task / Switcher Bar - General Topics

Hello
I'm obviously new here and glad to find a place where I can find out more about my xda2s.
One quick question I hope someone can answer - on my old Dell x3 there was a fantastic 'Switcher Bar' appearing at the top of the screen, which when pressed would show what programs were currently open, and allowed you to then close them, therefore saving memory etc etc.
I know there is the task manager on the xda2s but I cannot get an icon for it; one that will stay constantly there. Any ideas or is it simple not possible.
Thanks in advance
HPJ

install the attached file, it will give you 2 new icons. one on the top which will show battery status and the second icon at the buttom which will show running programs.
hope this is what you are looking for. :wink:

that's great, thank you. I've installed it into Program Files> Task Bar> (all the unzippped files) but it hasn't done anything.....how do I activate it?
Many thanks
HPJ

you dont unzip it
you sync it to the pda and run it then it install what needs to be installed
personaly i use PHM Task Manager
which is pretty much the same as the task manager in windows(pc)

Still cant do it....I need more practise obviously.
Whats the PHM Manager like in WindowsPC (I know how to use that at least.....)
Thanks
HPJ

here is what it's like and look like
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/TaskMgr/
well when you doubleclick on a cab file you should see a progress bar often it's gon before you know it and then the program should have been autoinstalled and have an icon in programs

O2 Orbit 2 - Tray

has anyone figured out how to remove the comm manager and the battery icons from the tray?
these are the programs in my windows\startup folder
PKG.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
sdim.lnk
TPStartup.exe
if it is not one of these and they are loaded from the registry - is there any way to prevent them them from loading from the registry?
thanks
Did you search? I posted a howto on this.
here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=system
fair point about the search!
thanks for your help - now solved.
while this is being discussed... has anyone figured out how to disable the whole taskbar and not just specific icons? I know it disappears if there are no icons to display but there are other apps that put icons there... tomtom, task managers etc etc it would be simpler to just disable the whole thing right?
i moved a file called "O2 Custom.lnk" from the \Windows\Start Up folder to my storage card (just to back it up) and the tray went away. however, since i'm now running bepe's .53 Non TomTom WM 6.1 Rom, it's no longer an issue for me. hope this helps!
Nice one cortezzi!

Yes its on the start menu. 1 ? I cant find the icon to disable large start menu. I need to do this to get quickmenu working right. Does anyone know the regedit to turn large start menu off.
Thanx
Fonts
First of all great rom. I've been using it all morning and it's pretty fast. My only issue is in jblend. There seems to be some kind of font issue that makes opera mini virtually unusable. Is there a way to resolve this?

Top Status Bar Bug
It seems the Diamond Task Manager has a bug in this rom. Flashed the rom 3 times and have the same problem. If you click on the task manager from the today screen and tap it again to minimize it then the whole top status bar dissappears so you can no longer see your signal strength, time or the start menu etc. Has anyone else experienced this?

Task manager

I have bought my HTC HD2 and i cant activate the task manager on the main screen....any help ? idea ?
Yeah pin the Task Manager to the quick links.
HTC Task Manager is disabled on HD2 probably because it slows Sense down

HTC Task
Tried the latest I found (HTC Tachi TaskManager 2.1.37655.1.cab),
but it does not work for me...
Simply everything I try does not work
Have You tried to pin the standard windows task manager to, for example, the answer call hardware key? I've done that in my TD2. You should be able to do this via phone settings->buttons or something (haven't seen wm6.5 yet)
try installing Duttys Task Manager 2.1.19183631
well, about this, anyone knows any taskbar manager that can use in every program to change from one to other without going to the main screen and then change?
Like the taskbar manager but on all screens, main and programs.
I really hate that "feature" of need to go to the main to select other program.

I'll have to agree with you there. It sounds strange that the multi tasking isn't build more, well, multi tasking in mind.
I'm probably getting this device next week and would be really interested to know if there's any way to do this faster, like bringing the task manager up with one press of key etc (like I asked in another topic too).

Didnt work for me.
This works:
- Go the file explorer
- Open "My Device/Windows"
- Find Task manager (taskmgr) and press long on this file so the file menu opens and select copy.
- Go to "My Device/Windows/Startmenu/Programs.
- Go to menu and paste shortcut.
- Now you can also add the shortcut to your today screen.

Wow, that is brilliant indeed.
Had no idea that particular task manager was even there or existed.
Nice find.
Damn, that's a nice find, tried the one from dutty but also without any result.
Thanks a million : )
very annoing this find, can not activate my progs. used this trick this weekend.
Dutty's Taskmanager works for me in combination with the brian's taskbar.

Thanks for the tip, and I tried doing that both before and yet again, but it's a no go.
It still doesn't play nice with certain builds. You can sort of make out the task manager icon in the upper right hand corner, but you can't click on it.
The solution posted above by rob_van_triet though works perfectly for now.
Working but Icon ?
Ok placing a shortcut of taskmgr in the start menu folder works fine.
But if you use this as a tab on the start screen it looks all blury.
Some help please ?
Do you know where is the setting for the task manager so that I could change "tapping X in the upper right corner" to "close the app" and not to "minimize it".
It seems that the whole Touch Flo settings has disappeared.
edit: just read the other thread about the task manager and it answered my question.

Using registry editor application go to HKLM/Software/HTC/VolumeOverlay
And delete the LoadIconFromResDLL and SounIconLink
Don't forget to restart.

All u need is get a free registry editor application. I recommend PHM Regedit. You can search for it on google.
Using the app, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and the path I mentioned before. Delete the 2 registry above. Try it, not as hard as it sounds.

customize toucflo

Hello, i want to customize my touchflo, i used SPB shell 3.5 but its bugged, and didnt work the SMS/Email button so i back to toucflo. My ask is: is there any program to change my toucflow bar? for example i use opera 10, and the toucflow open opera 9...
and i want to take some special icon... tcmp etc..
thanks a lot
First install M2DC. With this app you can change the default browser. After that install "I C Thru U". This one let's you make "transparent" the operator, taskbar, bottom bar, etc. at your choice.
All these apps can be found here in XDA and I know there are some more but I don't remember.
Always make a backup before doing any change to your device (I use SPB Backup).
Hope this help
EDIT: Forgot! With shortcut manager you can edit (i.e change the icon) any shorcut in your device and make new ones.

Another thing about M2DC is you can edit the today buttons under the scroll/sidebar, I've put in the left button a link to G-Alarm and in the right button a link to the file explorer. This can be done in the "Softkeys" tab, just browse the app you want link and name it or just left it that way.
