Just flashed to v3 and a couple of questions.
Firstly how do you set the HTC Home clock to 24hr, there doesn't appear to be a setting in regional settings for this.
Secondly ist here a way to bring up the program close icon at the top of the screen, I think it used to be an "x"
Thanks in advance
the 'x' was wktask if memory serves me correctly.
u will need to d/l the cab.
there is no option for me to set my alarm to go off in the evening. is only available in the morning
wktask isn't the answer. I'm talking about the icon which came with the original rom and sat in the top right corner, 3 horizontal bars with a triange at the bottom. Gave you the option to close a program by holding x on the program name. The Dutty Rom I'm using doesn't have one.

Im not real sure of the name, but i remember the one you refer to. I wasn't the duttythroy task manager was it?
The duttythroy task manager puts an icon at the bottom, but you have to run it to start. In the original rom the icon at the top started as default. I'm wondering if updating to the latest version of HTC Home will sort this out.
24hrs
You can get 24hr time by setting the Time Style in Regional Settings to
HH:mm:ss
The program the original poster is looking for is HTC Task Manager.
No offence guys but based on some of th questions i see (like time and alarm setting), some of you should not be flashing roms just yet. Best to first know the basics (these types of things should be in your manual i think)
None taken but as I've just been informed the HH:mm:ss didn't appear in the drop down. It was only after forcing it that it appeared. The flash has been a success but some things are differnt from the original. That's what forums are for or last time I looked anyhow. Here's the answer off a more helpful member
"Now that you mention it, I think I remember my 'regional settings' being dorked up initially when I loaded one of Dutty's ROMs. Try fiddling with the setting on the first page which sets all the other settings. Save it, leave, come back in, and then go to the time tab and then click on Time Style. When the list of available selections pops up, keep pressing down (it only shows 2 available, but more are there, trust me). Eventually select the one that has HH:mm:ss. That is the 24 hour one that I've used."
So based on the fact it was HTC Task manager, is this something that doesn't exist with Dutty's Rom or something you can enable?
I am also looking for the location in the menus to bring up this HTC Task manager in dutty's ROMs. I remember finding the menu for it in V3 but I can't seem to find it in V4.
This worked for me.... soft-reset and it should appear

I have a little problem regarding the size of the desktop / Today screen on my PDA (Wizard @ WM6).
When I connect my PDA to my PC with AS, additional icon appears in the tray (even though I removed init_tray.lnk) - but that's not the problem itself.
The problem is that additional sliding bar appears on the right side of the screen. The Today plugins do not fit the Desktop anymore, so all the contents of Today is "squezzed" and moved a little bit to the left to make space for the sliding bar.
When I disconnect, the icon & additional bar disappear but the Today items do not go back to fill the whole screen, but keep "squeezed" :O I haven't managed to find any option to refresh Today screen in order to make it filled with the plugins again.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, please?
Its a long shot, but if you were to go to Settings->Today-> Items, and click on ok (without doing much there), most of the plugins will refresh.
You could try this.....

That would almost certainly work - if you fancy a few less taps to achieve the same result, then there is a program that should (not tested it myself, so not 100% sure!) do the job for you.
Get it from http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=refresh_today - the author, t0flus, is an xda-devs member (his Group SMS app is posted on one of the forums), so he may be able to offer assistance if needed.
I'm guessing all you'd need to do is to copy the exe onto your phone and stick a shortcut to it in your programs menu.
Cheers,
Mark.
I have the same problem on mine and all I do is slide the keyboard out about halfway so it changes the screen to landscape and then slide it back in and everything goes back to the way it was before. No software needed.
Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San
Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!
San
If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Hi, i have the same problem in phone operation so that i have to use another one. One thing still in dark: when finished uprom progress, i check phone with my Exec close position but it was hanged the screen very dark, have to SR the PDA again working. I don't understand why.
I've searched and tried everything I could find and have done in the past, and I still can't get the battery icon to go away when on the home screen. I edited the registry so that the time and date are shown in the notification area always, but on the home screen that green battery icon overlays them and just makes a mess. Is the raphael different than every other HTC device I've had so far in this regard? In case it matters I have a fuze and am running NATF's latest ROM (2.2 I think).
Maybe you should post this in the official NATF V 2.2 Thread. he should be able to help you.
I really don't think this is a ROM specific problem, but if nobody has input, I'll ask the chef...
Solved.
I installed Advanced Config and used it to change the notification from battery to time. I don't know which registry key was responsible, but it's all good now. None of the manual registry key edits I used on previous devices worked but apparently advanced config knows which one to change! It wasn't a ROM issue.
Just for info refering to above post
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:0
0= Battery; 1=Clock
(U can always see the reg hack in the adv cfg *.xml file)
ah hah! I was focusing on "TBOpt=3" to try to show both date and time and ignoring the "ShowTitleBarClock" part! Thanks!
This is not a fix to get the drop down box working like in winmo 6.1/6.5 but it is a fix to be able to launch the task manager from nearly anywhere without having to launch the anything. I thought that it'd be great if I could write a program that let you gesture from anywhere in the phone to launch an app. But I don't have the skill and with every great idea I have someone has already thought of it. So I google searched and got an answer.
The program is called, FTouchSL, I am running the trail version currently but it costs 10 Euro. So about +/- $15. I like it so far and it works great. (You can find the older 'Free' Beta versions by searching.)
What this does is allow you to set 'gestures' and gesture areas that will allow you to launch any program you want, almost anywhere in your phone. For instance, I have mine set up to use two gesture motions to do 2 different thnings.
The first is, up and left, which launches "Showcase" those of you with Shadoline's latest ROMs will know that this is a new task manager. (I think from HTC. I'm not sure) I love this cause now I can access the task manager without leaving the current program im in. No wasted time. I can also easily go back to a proggram I previously had open whilst I'm in another. Say I wan't to go back to Opera after reading a txt message. Do the swipe, taskman opens and bam back to Opera. No need to got find it in the start menue or the home screen.
The second gesture I have set up is, up and right, which minimizes the program. I love that I could set it to minimize because it's just convinient. Lets say I get a txt and I'm in Opera. We all know (Those with 6.5.1) that you have to click the tab, then the main menue button, then exit then yes. Well the problem with this is that Opera is now shut down all the way. Sure you could hit the end button but makng a gesture is so much more... well.... Magical!
I may add a, Down and Right, motion to send me to my txt messages since clicking on the task bar only lets you see the message and not actually go to it. There are a total of 8 gestures that can be set up and 4 'Hot Corner' buttons.
A Warning - You may have to play with the settings a bit to get this to work right for you. I suggest making the bottom gesture area taller than the Manila Tabs if your using manila or higher than the bottom bar if not. And start the gesture above the Tabs or Bottom bar. For the left and right areas I founf that 80px works well. and set the Delay to 2000 ms or more if you want to. Or else you will have to be very quick about makeing the gesture.
At this point I don't care if icons show on the top bar (love it but I can settle for something else). I just want to be able to see and close software that is up and the HTC task manager loves to hide it. Thanks!

PRBar works great. I have been using it for a while. (Since the HTC Wizard) It shows up with drop down arrow where the clock would be. It also has the ability to show you the free ram, and time on the taskbar. It has a tiny footprint too so you dont have to worry about a memory hog. I have noticed that on some builds it can slow manila down so check it out and if it works ok, if it doesn't just delete the exe file (after you close pbar of course). All you have to do is run the exe file and tap the options to enable it to run after a soft reset among other options. Hope you like it.
Thanks. I did try it but I didn't like that is was sort of hard to click on the tiny icon. I am thinking I would just take some programs off of the exclusive list on HTC task manager. Gotta find which ones that will be safe (definetly want to do activesync/repog or whatever).
What problem/conflict are you having with wkTask? I've used it for a long time and I'm wondering what sort of problem you're having.
It would close the start menu and I wouldn't be able to get settings. I think I did a fix for it but then I forgot if something else went wrong. I might try again though.
oh yeah Start menu would show up even when I said to hide it. It would hide it but then show up again. It was annoying. would love if someone took over it and get it working perfectly with 6.5

I know what you are talking about but you don't have to tap precisely on the downward arrow. Just tap and hold next to that arrow on the empty space on the taskbar and it brings up the menu. I never even touch that arrow...lol. Maybe that will make it more useful for you...lol.
I love WKTask but it hasn't been updated in a long time. It closes Start if you hit X in the start menu on 6.5 and you have to reboot the phone to get it back. I love how easy it is to switch between tasks using it though and the battery bar at the top.

Oh lol did not try that. I switched back to HTC task manager and getting real used to it now. But I might check out pbar again with those important instructions.
rsbrown here is how you fix that problem. I still don't like that the start menu shows up (even when I hide it, it comes back( so I am done with wktask...
