I prefer pBar. It has some problems with WM6 concerning the taskbar when using the clock display. But I've turned off this option. I've created a shortcut to my start menu, and assigned pBar to a hardware button
pbar, tman, say NO to x-button.
pbar is good but it came as an executable which i dropped into stratup.
i also put a shortcut on my start menu
but how can assign it to a hardware button?
. seems that only registered programs are in the drop down

If it is in Start Menu, it must appear in the "Buttons" menu in settings. so you can assign it to any HW button, I prefer voice button.
Dinarsoft Handyswitcher is light and useful to me...
SPB Pocket Plus
Pocket plus has a good task switcher like windows xp and you can set it to the voice record button then you can use it all the time.

I have just hunted for a buttons menu but found nothing.

can you tell me where i should be looking?
thanks

I am using 'extended phone' dialer program. I really like the T9 lookup of contacts in this program. I would like to assign this program to the 'phone button' on my qtek9090 but I don't see this button in START -> SETTINGS -> POWER BUTTONS. Is it possible to assign 'other' programs to the phone button?

Yes it is! Phone Plus! www.mesoftware.biz!
Go to the settings of this prog, so, NOT to power buttons, but in the prog itself, go to settings and all works fine! I like it more then Extended Phone!!

Thanks! It seems PhonePlus (did not know it existed) is a beefed up version of 'extended phone'. Like it even better.
In my case PhonePlus is totally unreliable since it will stop responding to the GREEN SEND button.. eventually. :evil:
I have to admit, after using phoneplus a day or 10 I also get strange behaviour.. After picking up the phone with the green button it takes a couple of seconds before I can hear/speak through the phone. Uninstalling resolved the problem, too bad because I really liked the T9 contact lookup.
Hi all
I'm currently using WkTask and already know AltTab app, and i want to know if this is a normal issue of these two softwares:
when you are in any app, with others opened, (with assigned button) you can switch to any other without problem, and until now it's ok; but when i'm in the today screen, with all the apps minimized and try to switch/show (using the assigned button) the opened apps, i cannot, and it opens the win start menu!
Is this normal or not? I've this problem with WkTask and AltTab too!
Is there any way to open and choose the minimized apps using the button?
thanks in advance!
PS: I already tried to serarch related posts, and also to ask in concerning threads but i had no answer!
Ciao
No one can answer me??! pls
I use wktask.
I created a shortcut called "AltTab" which calles
"wktastkcmd.exe" /f
I assigned a button to this shortcut. It will allways swich you to the next task. When all task are minimized (you are on home screen) it will open the first one.
Hope that helps.

Hi dude,
thx for your tweak!!
I tried it and works, as you said! Than i realized a strange issue:
it also works, without any changes in the schortcut, but assigning to it different buttons, and exactly:
-> directly works with "OK" and "Win Menu" buttons, normal or long press
-> doesn't work with "IE" and "Mail" buttons, normal or long press
I don't know why, but these buttons have different effect on softwares!!
However, i added it to "OK" long press button and it select the minimized app in the upper bar showing me also the name just below the selectoion and by the arrows i can switch to the others one still minimized!
Thnaks for your contribution!
Ciao
My eyes hurt so much searching for a solution to this. I am looking for a way to create a shortcut to the task manager from the today screen without using the stylus.
Is there anything out there that can simulate hitting the x,y coordinates for where the task manager lies? WisVol.exe solves the issue of hitting the volume wo/ the stylus. I am looking for the same solution for the task manager.
Shortcut to taskmanager
Hi there,
I can think of 2 solutions:
1- go to settings/buttons and set a button you do ont use to launch either the built in task list (tasks) which should bring up the running programs dialog or any task manager you have installed.
2- use the file "defcpl.zip". I can't remember where I got it from but it is shortcuts that link directly to the control panel options. Only problem is that I cannot find a way for them to show a real icon.
what device do you have? it's a hard button on my i780 - you hold down the OK button....
I am customizing my Sprint Plugin. I have the speaker icon simulating the volume buttom. (Stylus-less Today Screen) I would like to replace the Opera icon with the Task Manager icon and start the Task Manager as shown. I need something to simulate hitting the x,y coordinates of the upper-right most corner of the Today screen.
I think VJOkButt has a mode that simulates clicking in the top right.
Try that for now. I'll also look into a better way to simulating the clickeration.

Thanks. If anyone can do it would be you!
Is there any way I can configure the 'back' button on my Pro to actually, close programs instead of just leaving them running in the background eating up resources???
I've set the "tap x to close programs" setting but it doesn't seem to make any difference and I really hate having to press that little "x" key in the top right corner with my big thumbs!!! I also checked out the "Raphael Tweaks" but nothing on there either.
Anyone got any ideas????

I use WkTask manager that actually close programs with back button.
Disable HTC task manager and install WkTask (freeware).

Cheers mate. This may be a stupid question but how do I disable the HTC task manager?
I use QuickMenu to close task with the back button.

Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager
Select "Button" from the tabs and uncheck both check boxes.
Done.

I think every task manager which does it's job will do that, exept the HTC Task Manager crap.
OK this is really getting me down now!!!
these various task managers, like the default HTC app, all close the application when you TOUCH the 'x' button but they don't do it if you press the hardware <- 'back' button??
I also notice that unlike my Artemis when you go into settings -> buttons only 1 button action, Button 1 (hold), is available. where the other 3 buttons are is a mystery button 1 btw turns out to be the phone send button.
So my question is two fold, before I throw my TP out the nearest window...
1. does anybody know of a way to configure a TP so that when you press the back button it actually closes the application?
2. anybody know if there is a registry key or someway to add the other 3 hardware buttons to the settings -> buttons configuration app??
Pls help before I go totally MAD!!!

Hooooo Rahhhhhhhh I found a solution... and it's called HandySwitcher from Dinar Soft and it works perfectly. You have to pay for it but I would willingly pay 10 times the 10 Euro price tag to keep my sanity!!!
You could try AE Button Plus to map different functions to existing buttons (including single, double, triple click and long press).
I've never used wktask, omg.. Why?
Its so nice... thanks for this thread lol
only thing I miss is the memory usage in % that htc task manager got
Not tried AE Buttton but I did try WKTask and I thought the interface was a bit "clunky" to be honest but more importantly the hardware mode didn't work so using the <- button didn't actually close the applications which was what I was looking for.
I'm a new user of Topaz.
Could anyone know that, is it possible to use the application like SKtools of AEbutton Plus to map the mentioned programme as left and right soft button ??
I was tried to do that, but it doesn't work so far
I use the facility in "TouchFlo Detacher" to remap the left and right soft buttons. The left one now puts my TD2 into standby, and the right goes straight to HTC's comm manager console ("\windows\CommManager.exe"). It works perfectly.
