That function is built in Spb PocketPlus.

batterystatus has a good task manager

I just want any that don´t use a lot of memory

magic button
the executable itself is less than 100kb in size

dinarsoft Handyswitcher all the way. Has lots of functions and can be fully controlled via dpad

i use quickmenu. i just press the ok botton, and the app is closed, or tap the x icon on screen to minimize an app. no need for going through a bunch of menus just to close an app.

+1 on quickmenu, highly configurable for what you want to close and what you may always want to minimize.

Pbar works really well and so does wktask.

do you want a task manager? ( list of programs, select which to close )
or
An app to close a program which is on screen currently? ( closes instead of minimizes )

I just want a program to close the aplication,because a task manaker probably will use more memory.Don´t you?
Can you help me if im agree or not?

vijay555's vjokbutt would be the best then it doesn't 'run' in the background as it is a .exe file which you would need to map to one of you hardware buttons to close the current app

SPB Pocket Plus / task manager question

Q: If I install SPB Pocket Plus, the default HTC task manager disappears???? Anyway to get this back???? Anyone using pocket plus having this prob?

What version are you installing?

You don't like the free WkTask Manager which is way better?

installing the new version... on their web site and i didnt use other task programs... will look into that tho.

[Q] Programs Won't Close!!!

after I installed about 5 programs on my sprint touch(official 6.1) programs don't close with X. I've gone into the settings and it is on close with X but that is just minimizing it. and even if I hold x it doesn't close. I know this isn't much info but Im on my touch right now so that's why. oh yea and I can post all my installed programs if necessary.

You need to get together with this guy and trade devices.
Sorry, just joking. Anyway, make sure you don't have any programs installed that have control over the X button. Such programs take-over the X-button and can mess with HTC Task Manager. WKTask is a popular programs which does this.

the only thing like that that I have installed is like another htc task manager

well um since i have no help yet im bumping. and i just uninstalled the htc task manager that i got from the manilla stuff and now the drop down box doesn't even show up on the Today screen. And X still will not close programs, just minimize them, except now i have to go to settings to exit them

I think you have to long hold x to close (not just tap) tap minimizes

no I have the settings in task manager set to tap x to close. and I have tried holding x and it doesn't do anything. also if you know a registry key that has to do with it please say so

bumppppppp

Had the same problem with wm6.1.
Solved this with "HTC x-button v1.5". Maybe this will help you.

oh wow thanks thanks thanks for this.

Task Manager WM6.5?

Hey guys, im actually really stumped on this one.. i cant seem to find any Task manager that works on WM6.5 for my Atom Life. I used to use WKTASK and Quickmenu but now i wanna keep the honeycomb cause it runs really smooth on this new build and WKTASK screws up everything to be honest lol. I'm just wondering if you guys have any solutions?
PS: I'm trying out pBAR 1.4 and its not that great on wm6.5.. not very finger friendly.

Isn't there one in WinMo 6.5 already?
Maybe try the HTC one from the Diamond, there's a topic somewhere with all HTC application download links.

What problems are you having with WK Task and Quick menu ? I used both with Josh's Kaiser roms, and both worked well.

Well WKTASK just seems to kill my start menu after maybe 3 or so minutes.. So as long as WKTASK is running, my WM6.5 Honeycomb startmenu OR the Quickmenu startmenu will not open. its weird really.. and im using chrisch's atom life wm6.5 ROM 21202. Also the HTC manager doesnt seem to do anything on my device... nothing at all.. it installs.. i can access the settings but it doesnt show up on the OS itself. so its pretty much useless at this point (ive tried different versions).

yeah, I have the same issue as well...

For wm6.5 the best task manager for me is the HTC task mananger (at least for now). It integrates well to the new interface of wm6.5

Where To download latest HTC Task Manager
please give me the download link

search...
just a little next time

lol im using the old task manager by HTC now along with WKTASK using twolfs fix. Ive also got the ACER task manager installed and binded cause its actually rather useful

What is twolfs fix for wktask? Can you give me the link?

add \window\shell32.exe as an excluded app
colours are still messed up, hopefully the Wktask guys will update it to cope with the 6.5 theme system soon..

I have set all my colors to black in wktask and now it´s looking quite good.

yeah on an all black theme

TaskSwitch
I wan't to share the fastest alt+tab program i found (faster than SPB). It's freeware, don't know where i found it. Displaytime can be configured in registry.
I mapped it to single click on the start button, works perfect! (long hold shows startmenu)

The absolute best task manager app I've found is from FDC Soft. Here is the link.

Looking for a small Task Manager

Hello,
I am looking for a small and simple task manager instead HTC Task Manager. Actually The HTC T.M. is doing fine but since it's been removed from latest official ROM and installing "dutty's HTC T.M." gives some visual troubles. I don't know why but dutty's lost sometimes the buttons in it. I mean there is a task manager but useless.
Do you know a working HTC T.M. or an alternate one?
Regards.
P.S.
Forgive my very poor English.

using ameba you can assign the longpress on start button to open /windows/taskmgr.exe
very basic and yet effective task manager (windows default taskmanager)

I will try. Thanks.

try mmtaskmanager
http://sites.google.com/site/maximusmobileproject/Current-Apps/mmtaskma

Xtask is amazing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606162

mmtask is nice but a little long to launch compare to windows taskmgr...
Xtask isn't bad but i think i prefere waku's wktask !
(it's only a question of taste

WkTask +1
I am too used to PC-like interface for managing running programs...

I think i'll go to develop a small and simple task manager that will have the same interface with HTC's. Will use c#
