In need of a special task manager to my PDA.. - General Topics

Okey.
I got a Qtek S100 (or Magican, as you call it...).
I've been searching around för task managers that fits my needs, including this forum. I've tried the most popular, and some other, but haven't got jackpot yet.
All of the task managers I've tested works like this: Hit an icon with the pen (or finger...) and a menu pops up.
I want to press a hardware button, to make the menu open.
A long time ago I had such a program. I had it on both of my iPAQ models. A 3630, and a 3660.
On these models these program was attatched to the right buttons, se picture:

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm not sure what these programs where named, but now you've got a clue what I need.
Any idéas of programs?

Is it not possible for you to remap the buttons, I mapped the camera button on my xda 2 to execute tomtom for instance.

dont waste time trying to map the send/cancel button.
there is no way to map.
i have tried all the whole list of Mapping button program from pocketgear.
none able to do it
probably you want to download a program that has 2 functions in each hardware button
for example.
1. calendar (press one)
1. pocket word (press and hold)
2. contacts (press one)
2. pocket excel (press and hold)
so on...
there u go, you can launch 8 applications

The problem is not to execute a program, that I can do well. The problem is TO OPEN A MENU.
For instance, press a hardware button and the start menu opens...
But, I want a task bar, that I can open it's menu by pressing a hardware button.

the start menu is just like a launcher
i have no idea how to map the start menu to a button
anyway, let calculate the step
using finger to press start menu (only 1 move)
using finger to press hardware button (only 1 move)
since no solution, we have to face it

do you mean iTask??

I found "magic button" to be a useful task switcher - but I don't know a way of using it with the hardware buttons. I also use buttonMax - you can create a macro that taps the start menu and assign the macro to a hardware button. I use "program menu" as my start menu which supports hiararchial menus so you can have access to a large amount of apps using a couple of button presses.
http://www.pocketmax.net/buttonMax.htm

I have already tested before this question is asked.
the only thing that cannot be done (that how i feel), is by configuring the 'send' button to map to a program (such as photos contacts 1.0d)
urh.. this photos contacts is not the built in program, it is an external program

The application you (and us early starters) used is called iTask, written by Thumbs Up software. They released a stand-alone version with lots of extra features called GigaTask http://www.gigatask.com/.
Hope this helps.

Couldn't assign Windows button using AKU3.3.13.ASERG

After upgrading to AKU3.3.13.ASERG, everything is perfect (fast, responsive, cool) except one thing, windows button assignment.
I can't assign it to other application such as Microsoft Voice command.
I would very much appreciate any help.
Maybe a bit out of topic, is there any way to uninstall Cyberon voice ?
I prefer Microsoft Voice command 1.6.
BTW my PDA is Dopod 818pro G4.
Thanks.
HR
yes
same problem
maybe because of the WIZA200
I have yet to see a ROM post-WM5 aku 2.3 that can change the functions of those bottom 2 keys (Windows and OK button). You would think they could have figured this out by now.
I read before here that since it's based on the Wizard rom and the Wizard doesn't have that two buttons so it doesn't work.
Hmmm...Don't know why I didn't think of that. This should still be made to work, as those 2 buttons were customizable as well on the Wizard. I wonder what the file buttonsext does? I see that it is referred to only once in the registry. Perhaps if we got this file from a Prophet ROM and replace it with the one on these Wizard-based ROMs?
give this tool a try. still beta but i think it run stable.
is simlar to smartkey but . . .

it search omapclock in windows folder because i have it inside my modded aserg rom ;-)
with SetMaxMem you can save the memorystatus after a reboot for the freeram display in top
if you "speedup" a application altab set your neo to 240Mhz if this app is in foreground
else it set it to 180Mhz
this setting is stored in registry ;-)

Woah! This is fantastic! I think this will be the most useful program if it does what I think it can do. So, you can target specific apps to run at faster speeds? Also, what do the line graphs at the very top represent? I have blue, red, and grey.
And, ta-dah, the buttons 1 and 2 issue has been solved. We can now change the function of button 2 to close apps with a real task manager such as WA2.
Thanks for the great work, and the task switcher is very nice with the end call button.
Do have some sort of documentation or read me for this?
no sorry. no readme till now.
the to lines above. . . look here - > http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=23466
in the middle its dark @180mhz and green @240mhz
So, is this altab.exe and compilation of smaller tools? Which tool is able to change the function of the buttons so succesfully?
This is the only one I've found to truly intercept the built-in functions before they execute.
the main function are the buttons/alt-tab and overclocking
the powerstatus display and the regtweaks are integrated small tools
/inteks
How do you overclock with this app, or do you need another app to do this?
Also, is it possible that you could make a version stripped of the status bars at the top? Or, at least give an option to not display it? Thanks....
for overclocking copy this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255771&highlight=omapclock
to your windows directory.
a version without the poowerstatusbar in top , maybe in next release an option to hide it
have fun
inteks
Looking forward to it. Could you update this thread when it's out? Thanks.
ok.
here is a new version.
now you can switch off the powerstatusdisplay in top

Great job!
This is great! I used powerstatus, alt-tab and smartskey as my favourite tools (simple, very small memory usage). And i defnitely missed the possibility to assign buttons 1 and 2.
And now we have it all together.
I'll test an submit my experiences
Test results
I installed it (shortlink in windows\startup folder) and tested it a couple of days an it worked great (24kb ram, volume-button scrolling works better as in Smartskey). I have found 2 minor things:
1. Closing windows settings menu by doublepresssing the endCall button closes the shell, which results in softreset. Minor problem, ok-button works.
2. Left softbutton function is not catched by all programs. For instance, "Unlock" softbutton does not work. Minor problem, touchscreen does. Same with Total Commander.
Third is that my phone seems to crash more often than before, but I can't tell for sure it's your tool.
I have one question: The file is quite big (1,5 MB). What causes the size? Smartskey, Alt-tab and Powerstatus are very small, so the only thing left to explain te size is te capturing of buttons 1 and 2. If would be wellcome if it could be made smaller. Is that possible?
But even with this size it's great anyway.
Prophet G4
Aserg 3.3.13 rom
Radio 02.61.21
This app has fantastic functionality, but for whatever reason, it burdens my device running WA2. It's especially noticeable with the start menu appearing and other menus. Not too sure what the problem is, given that the app has such a small footprint.
hiho,
@2241Alexanders
jo, my mistake. . . i uploaded the debug version (size) the release version is 150Kb normaly, sorry.
i will upload a "release" version after i fixed the "closed shell" bug
what do you mean with "Unlock softbutton" ??
[edit] if you want the "hard" softkey to work you have to leave the "SoftKey L" in Setting on "<Left SoftKey>" . . .
i dont think that atTab causes the crashes ? no problems here
the programm does nothing until you press a button. (hook)
the powerstatus runs on an diffrent timer with 2sec interval (same as orginal powerstatus)
and every 5 sec the programm checks the foreground window and start omapclock if needed.
@floepie
what is "WA2" ??
btw with "task manager" (included in aserg's rom) you can check CPU usage of each program. alTab use 0.09-0.27% on my device @180MHz. most of this cpu time is used for powerstatus. without powerstatus its @0.00% most of time
(the "old" powerstatus.exe use 1.83-2.29% CPU time)

Wow! Very helpful utility! That's what I've been looking for since my Prophet ROM upgrade, as I really needed those two lost buttons!
Thank you very much, inteks!
But I have some suggestions.
Would it be possible to make the buttons used by the program customizable? Like the EndCall button, which now opens the task switcher - without alTab that button switches to the Today screen, and I'm really missing this feature.
Actually personally I would even disable the task switcher in alTab completely if it had such an option, as I don't really need another task manager - I prefer the way how AltTab.exe works: it shows a window with the icons, sets the focus to the previously used application, and if you just wait a second, it switches to it - very similar to how Alt-Tab key combo works in Windows. I really like that!
If the button, which opens the main alTab window (task manager) will be optional, and could be disabled, I guess the main window should show up just when the application starts. BTW, this will allow to easily assign the task switcher to any other button using the standard system Buttons control panel.
Additional actions, which can be assigned for the held soft buttons, is also a very useful feature! Is it possible to add such "Hold" commands for the hard buttons as well? "Button 4(Hold)" is standard, and assignable, but it would be nice to have the same for buttons 1-3 too.
Thanks!
hiho,
download here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1229851#post1229851
new -> it shows icons for the windows in the list.
and some bug fixes (end shell, filesize . . . )
@alpax
without atTab the "ok" button switch to desktop,too so the red button is useless but for end calls.
thats why i select this as main button for alTab.

Problem with button after installing Voice Command

Hi!
I have installed Voice Command and all was working great until first soft reset...
Something bad happens to harware button nr 4 (that with a bubble, next to
camera button). All functions mapped to this button are activated only
after holding that button for a few seconds. If you just tab that button -
nothing happens... If I uninstall VC - problem disapears...
I know that this is an old problem (even on WM5 after installing VC), but
I don't find any solution... And I know that there is a solution, becouse on ROMs
when VC is included, that button is working OK...
So dev's or anyone - pls share with me
I have compared 3 registry and files snaps, bout I don't find there
any solution... So if anyone can find what registry change is responsible
for that strange button behaviour, I'll be grateful...
So:
Result1.txt is compare of snaps taken before and after installation of VC
Result2.txt is compare of snaps taken after installation, but before and
after first soft-reset
It is easy to read - all lines starting with < are old values, and lines
starting with > are the modified/new ones...
Thx in advice! This will help not only me - but all the people who are
using VC
I have found an solution for this! OK, maybe this is not real solution
(still needs someone to find what registry change is responsible for this weird
button behaviour), this is more like backdoor for button problem, but it works
Now I have something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It looks great, huh? I don't remenber when I have possibility to map
all the button functions! (I think that in last official WM5 ROM)
OK, You need a registry editor, WM6 without Voice Command (I haven't
tested if this will work, when VC is build into ROM - besides, only with VC from here,
announce for incoming calls will work), Voice Command Fixed for WM6 and
offcourse HTC Universal
Note: This fix will work only if your "Record" button has been messed up
after isntalling VC!
After applying this fix, you will have to possibility to use Record button
as before installing VC, and you will have a new function - other action
mapped to Press & Hold for Record button!
1. Open you registry editor and navigate to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
2. Find key 40C4 and rename it to 40C5
3. Create new key and mane it 40C4
4. Open key 40C5, copy all values from there to 40C4 key
5. Open 40C4 and change value of Name to "Record (Hold)", for example
You Keys key should look as here:
And it is done! Now in Settings -> Button windows all buttons
will be functional as before installing VC, and you have received
a bonus - a new action key to map
PS. I still search for a proper solution, why record button (40C4) has
transformed into 40C5 after isntalling VC! Pls, I know, that many
devs here know WM registry well - pls look at my compare results....
This will help a lot!
Thanks! I've been using KDSkamal's WM6 Beautiful Edition which is nice and fast but, among other minor things, didn't have the Record (Hold) button visible. Using your suggestion I was able to successfully restore and map it.
I tried this, and I get the announcements via handset speaker, but not over BT... Even after changing the configuration settings to use regardless of free time, and to use for BT all of the time and again to use BT if available... I did not have to use the VC BT Fix by Zajules after installing this... and BT worked as before...
We are closer, good work, but how did you get it to work over BT... Once we know that, Microsoft should compensate all that have worked to make this a reality... Just wish I was one of them... Ha...
Thanks Mr. Groch!
I was going to try this registry fix on my Mogul, but I already had 40C5 key, and didn't think I should try to rename another to this one.
Instead, I was able to just reassign the record button using AEButton Plus and it's working fine.

iPhone Style App-Launcher? (Flip Apps before opening - like left or right in cube)

Is there an extention for windows mobile or the touch function which launches applications in iphone style with a flip or spin?
My brand new TouchCruise did this once but I don't know why and where.. i think it was in the settings of "HTC Audio Verstärker" (could be "HTC frequency amplifier" or something in englisch version).
Greetz.
Hello!
Maybe you're talking about TouchFlo that is in the HTC Touch.
To activate it, just slide your finger from the bottom (near the HTC logo)
to the middle of the screen. You'll get the 3D cube with icons
I'm not talking about the cube.
The Application flipped like Alt+Tab at Vista.
It rotated fliped away an the next manu came but after hardreset because of tomtom i can't find out what it was but I want to have this for every Application.
Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369241
Thanks but i don't mean an iPhone lookalike App-Launcher I mean an extencion or something which flips the Applications before starting like in Vista oder Ubuntu or if you go left or right on the Touch Cube.

I understand and am looking for the same thing. All I'd like to be able to do is swipe across the screen (Touch gesture same as used to flip from side to side of TouchFlo cube) in order to switch between active applications.
With the HTC Task Switcher being only available from the Today screen, it takes too many taps to be able to switch from one open application to another. I know that many applications already use the sideways gesture, so a task switcher may first need to be invoked by tap or button press before the gesture is accepted as a command to swap apps.
Is there something out there that makes it simple to switch from one open app to another without having to go to Today screen first?
Try this.

Thanks. I found the AltTab thread in the forums and installed the application. It is a perfect solution for me on my Touch Cruise. Programmed it to the VoiceDial button. Thanks again!
I tried dynamo, but there are some problems.
It keeps showing a duplicate screenshot. Either this is a program that is not running, or it is just plain the wrong screenshot.
Anybody have the same trouble (and found a solution) ?
I use Spb pocket plus, close button mod
It comes with aload of other stuff that i dont use but this function is ace.
Close Button. The standard behavior of Windows Mobile is to minimize the application when the X-button is tapped. That means the application will not be closed and it will stay in the background memory of your Windows Mobile device. Speed up your Pocket PC by closing running programs that takes up a lot of memory. Applications can really be closed with only one tap on the X-button. In addition, task manager menu will appear if you tap-and-hold on X-button. With the task manager you can easily switch between all active applications.

Try looking at PocketUI.
I use SPB PocketPlus since a long time (WM2003SE I think) and the AltTab is on my HTC HomePlugin Launcher but it hasn't this cool Flip mode.
I found where I saw this Flip!! You find this function in the settings of WiFiFoFum!
@MrSmith22: Because of PocketUI I want to have this in Sunrise Touchscreen because I like my Interface with SunriseTheme+TouchFLO+Home Plugin+PocktPlus much more than the "simple" PocketUI Design but the Flip is great!

Classic Game For Your XDA - "ANOTHER WORLD!"

This game was originally released on the Mac back in the early 1990's. The author then ported it to PC lter, and now a 3rd party, ith the authors permission of course, has ported it to WM5/WM6, and it is no freeware. The PC version still costs $8.99, but the mobile version is free.

Cool! I played this game when it was released on the PC, and at the time it was impressive: Smooth animations and a sound quality not heard until then (when the most you got were bips) . Not to mention that it was a well developed story.
Update: I just installed it on my Samsung i780 and F-S Loox N560, it doesn't work on either . So it's probably QVGA compatible only. I will test it on my Touch and see if it works there. BTW, there's a Game Boy Advanced version as well that was ported some years ago.

This is a really stupid question, but how do you beat that first monster? The only moves he seems to be able to do is the jump kick (up) and the just a regular kick.

Run to the left, when he's about to jump over you, jump and keep running to the left. In the last screen you'll see a rope over the edge of the rock, jump from there and he'll grab the rope and move from left to right over the monster, then run all the way to the right.
BTW it's a great port. But I have found no simple way to bring up the menu on the HTC Touch. I mapped the camera button to left or right soft-key with no luck. Then I found that if you hold the power button as if you where going to power it off, as soon as the confirmation dialog appears, you can say "no" and the menu of Another World will pop up so you can quit without having to reset or power off.
Doesnt work on the Raphael.

Yeah i have the same troubles on my Touch Cruise.
I mapped left soft key to kamera or voice button (button 4) but it didn't help. Mapping is working in manila 2D, but not in the game (. So u cannot even enter code to continue in game.
Try to do the same: Hold the power button until a dialog asks to shut down. Cancel and the menu of Another World will appear.
Unfortunately I sold my Touch (to get a Diamond) and I can no longer play it since VGA is not supported .
Doesn't work on the Motorola Q. It looks like this:

Changing the function of a bt handsfree's button ?

How can i (if it's possible) change the function of the buton on my bt handsfree i want to make it start the camera not dial/hangup is that possible ?
Thanks !
That would be useful. Have the phone set up somewhere, and use your headset as a remote to take pictures. Far better than using a timer, and running to be in the photo.
you can change it to run a different app if you want or make a mort script to run what ever you want.

Thanks for this info. I have managed to make it so I can run the camera.exe by pressing the handsfree button. Unfortunately taking a picture is proving slightly more difficult. I thought setting the reg string to run a mortscript saying simply SendCR would press the carriage return upon pressing the handsfree button, and take a photo, but this doesnt seem to work.
Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong, or point out another way of taking the photo. Is it possible to point HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\path to button 4 (this is camera button on my hermes) as the function of button 4 changes when in the camera app from 'run set app' to 'take photo'? I dont know if you can set a shortcut to simulate a hardware button

Thanks for this info. I have managed to make it so I can run the camera.exe by pressing the handsfree button. Unfortunately taking a picture is proving slightly more difficult.

ok first what you need is a mort script that will run camera then change the reg to something else then you press the bt button again and it will take the pic but you need to look on vijay's website, just google vijay555, he has an app where you can emulate any hardware button. hope this helps

This is exactly what I had in mind once I'm sure I can get it to work. After a bit of playing around, I have discovered that you can only set the reg key to run a program, not a shortcut or a mortscript.
I checked out VJKeyPress, but it works by following a command line in a shortcut to select the button it emulates. I need a program which purely operates the shutter, and has no other function.
If I cant solve this in the next few days then I may PM Vijay555 and see if he can help.
Success!!
Turns out the amazing vijay555 has another app which does the job called VJBrisk.
By setting the reg key to run VJBrisk.exe, this automatically launches VJTarget.lnk in the same folder. This is a link to VJKeyPress.exe with the command 13, which is RETURN, and which operates the shutter. I have just taken a photo by pressing the button remotely on my bluetooth headset.
Next step is a mortscript which will automatically change the reg key, turn on bluetooth, and run the camera application. And then change the reg key back and turn bluetooth off when the camera app is closed.
Amazing , now if you can explain Step by step how we can do this will be really amazing can you do that for all of us who are searching for solution ?
Can you do this ?
I haven't had time to look at making a mortscript yet. To simply take photos using the headset, I have used VJBrisk and VJKeyPress, both freeware from vijay555's site. I have also used Resco Explorer to edit the registry and create shortcuts, but you can use freeware alternatives.
Download and install both the VJ apps, and then create a shortcut to VJKeypress. In Resco this can be done by selecting the target and pressing copy, then navigating to the folder it is wanted in, and pressing 'paste shortcut'. Place this shortcut in the VJBrisk folder, and edit its command line to read:
"\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 13
Rename the shortcut to VJTarget.lnk
Now edit the reg string HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\path to point to \Program Files\vijay555\VJBrisk\VJBrisk.exe
Now when connected to your headset, the button operates as the RETURN key, and hence will take a photo when the camera app is active. You may want to check the shutter sound is on, and the review time is set to 'no review'.
ok .. here comes the problem i don't have Voice Commander
Which commander to install ?
I installed Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 the folder in registry appeard and it doen't work i can't understand where i am wrong
D'oh
I have to say, I had prepared another way to achieve this about 2 years ago, by dynamically rewriting the bluetooth headset driver, but this way seems quite a bit easier!

I'm afraid I'm no expert here.
What is the contents of 'HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand'?
I now have a string '(Default)' with no value set, a string 'path' pointing to VJBrisk, and DWORD's of 'LaunchAPEnable', 'VoiceCmdDuration' and 'VoiceCmdEnable' all set to 1.
I hope this helps you, or that someone more knowledgable than me can jump in and give you some advice.

Rewriting a bluetooth driver. It sounds like you are more than just a pretty face, you just needed an idiots perspective which I was glad to provide. Many thanks for your apps, because I wouldn't have had a clue where to start without them.
i installed Windows Commander (i think) i have the same files ,but not the same succes i don't know why but it just doesn't work for me i tryed 5-6 times
