How can I get the <-- button to close programs??

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.

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.

Problem with QuickMenu

Hey ppl... I have installed QuickMenu today, i liked it verymuch, but the problem is that it ended my taskbar icon of tasks to finish, and it doesnt stay activated every time, i have to click on the "Q" yellow icon to activate the menu... wtf... does not it stay every time activated? if not, this soft sux...

does wnybody know the soluction?
but if it doesnt have i will unistall and look for another soft

I used quickmenu a lot on my Tilt, but not yet on the TP. If I remember correctly someone cooked a rom with quickmenu built-in. You might try searching through the rom threads to find one that has it cooked in, and pm the chef with your questions. Sorry I couldn't be more help...good luck

To reactivate the task menu, go to
- QuickMenu > Option... > View > [_] Show battery on taskbar
- Settings > System > Task manager > Button > [v] Activate menu
(the English words may be a little different as I have another language on my phone).

Do you mean that you need to hold on the "Q" icon to keep the menu open, and that the menu closes as soon as you lift up your finger? I have never had this problem, I just click once and the menu stays open.

Yes, I say that I have to click on "Q" to activate the Q's start menu, and once I use it (clicking on), the second time clicking it appears the windows's standard menu, and to see quick's menu again I have to click again on the "Q"

Now I understand, this is quite strange. This could happen if you press the "Q" icon for a long time.
Maybe you can try the option "Replace system's start-menu" under the General tab (+ exit and start again QuickMenu). I don't know if it will help, but you can try and see what happens.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.
.

in "QucikMenu",Check "Replace system's startmenu".
then "setting">"system">"TouchFLO"===>don't use large startmenu
my rom is CHS,maybe the words are different

thank you all, i did what you said and now it is working good, i makde what raphel said, and what u said too vance, rebooted the systen and now all is ok
thanks

deleting locked programs in the program menu

i just got my new touch pro after having an xv6800 and love the new phone and im doing pretty well as far as making custom changes, but my question is how and or were do i go to remove or delete the lock programs in the program menu, so i can add my own.
thanks chris

as far as I know you can't. If you are looking to remove the bloatware(Stock Stuff) you can do a search for it.

Thanks for the help, ill do a search for bloatware,
as you said you prolby cant do it, in that case is thier an application were i can atleast add to the program list, since the program list is know full
Thanks Chris

If you are asking about the programs on the start menu do the following: Press Start > Settings > Menu. Remove the check marks from the programs you no longer want on the menu. Add a check mark to the ones you want on the menu.

that means u want to re-map your softkeys ... google and use software called "Advance Config" to re-map your "Program" and also to check the destination where the "Program" leads you to

i actually had that program all ready on my phone, i opened up the program and "restore all settings" and still when im on the home screen and click on programs on the bottom right corner it still brings up the TF3d menu then goes back to the home screen.
were do i go in ether advance config or my reg editor, to see were the program button might be launching to.
Thanks for your help i really appreciate it, i really don't want to reset my phone back to the way it was when i first bought it

No Auto Lock after new ROM - want my Slider back!

Hi guys!
After upgrading to the new official ROM my Auto Lock Slider disapeared.
I installed BSB Tweaks 1.2 and turned "Auto Lock" to on. Then Softreset. But the Slider was still gone.
I changed the registry entry to
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend =1
Then Softreset.
But nothing happend. Still no Auto Lock Slider.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

grab yourself BsB Tweaks 1.2 and turn it on with this tool the do soft reset; worked for me

Did you read what i've written???

I think it's the weird behavior of BsB which is causing the problem. Let me guess, did you install BsB immediately after the upgrade? I did not, had no problems whatsoever, but later after a hard-reset I immediately installed BsB and yes, had the same weird problems as you described.
Good lock

Press the Windows button then press the soft lock key in the bottom left. This could make it work again but it doesn't for some apparently. Worked for me though.

Same for me, just locked it once manually, then it works again. Didnt need to install anything.
Bloke

I had the same prob. the best solution is to check auto lock in BsB. After that exit BsB but DON'T soft reset with BsB. just exit. Then Power off the phone and switch it back on manually!!!!

Many, many thanks!!! This worked!!!! Now i have Auto Lock again!!

These thing did not work for me ether.
I did the follow:
holded the "turn off" button down, and pressed the device-lock button, and then it worked.
Good Lock

Power Button tips works but not after soft reset. Yuo should use this exe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5086288&postcount=2
And then copy into Windows\Startup so each time HD2 boot, it will start also the lock screen, then after you switch off the screen the lock will be always active!

I ve upgraded to 1.48 3 days ago, since then i ve never came across that lock screen problem nor the other mail problem, others appear to associate these two together.
I havent installed BsB tools though i dont know if this has something to do with it or i just got lucky or its some other app that makes the conflict that i dont use.

softkey to "home"

Hello, I am using WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5.
I use Second Today, as well, in order to use iPhone Today as a program launcher (as the programs tab is missing in Manila 2.5).
I would like to set a softkey in Second Today that brings me to (manila) "home".
Can somebody help me?
Many thanks

I think you need to assign it to SToday Quit. I think you can change it in the SToday Settings program.

Thanks, I already tried this solution but this way Second Today unloads from memory and then if you launch it again you must wait a bit to load it. It is not a big problem, but I would prefer to maintain it loaded and have a switch to (Manila) home. Unfortunately I do not know which parameters I should use.

Ok, I understand. I have the same program and the same issue. I usually go back to the home screen by pressing the bottom right hard button "home" or phone red key. Alternatively you can press the top right "OK" softkey.
Sometimes you may want to exit Second Today, so I have assigned the softkey to do this. If you really want to NOT exit Second Today and assign a softkey, then look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416688.
I hope this is the solution for you.

In SecondToday softkey settings select left key and manila and apply to registry.
If your Manila soft key is set to Second oday, this should toggle between the 2.

Instead of selecting manila in softkey settings, try selecting 2nd today. Should work.

I do not understand.
Which version of Second Today are you using? Mine is 0.4.3.
This version gives the possibility to show and modify the softkeys both of Second Today and of Manila.
I have radio buttons to the left, one for Left Key and one for Right Key.
On the right I can chose among Second Today, Manila 3D and Manila 2D Keys.
Based on the combination of selections you can change either the softkeys in Manila or in Second Today. But there is no option to bring you to Manila.
There is no way to do what you say, or at least I do not understand...

Thank you for your patience, but what should I put in "Path to program:" ?
If I do not put anything there it does not work, I simply get the name of the softkey but pressing it gives me an error message and nothing happens...
Unless there is some difference between 0.4.0 and 0.4.3 at this regard

Intuitively you would think that SecondToday softkey would be set to manila and visa-versa, but both actually have to be set to Second Today to toggle...
Glad you finally got it working.
