Searching for a Taskmanager App - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Actual I am using on my HD2 Dutty´s Taskmanager to switch between apps, but I am searching for a fingerfriendlier app. I already tested showcase but I think this app slow down my HD2.
So I want to ask you which one do you use/prefer on your HD2. Please give me your feedback.

I couldn't get Dutty's to work for me, so I can't comment on it. I did, however, get the TouchX Taskmanager working, and much prefer that as it's basically the task manager that I was used to from my Diamond & HD.
If you want that, it's in the 1st post of this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
That's an excellent thread, full of tweaks and tips.

Thanks for your reply. I have already tested TouchX´s Taskmanager and its the same like Dutty´s. I am searching for more fingerfriendlier app like showcase.

Xtask.. not the prettiest and maybe not the easiest to use at first but it works..
no install..
so you need to:
extract it, run the exes, press the two down arrows on the menu that pops up,
then choose "other" and "settings" and have a play (such as disable take over start menu)
similar style icons to wktask across the top, X button remapping in 6.5.x screen resizing in the same.
And almost as much power as fdc taskmanager.
It's great I love it
ideally set a shortcut to it in startmenu/programs, so you can set it to long press send button.

Another one
Personnaly, I use MobilityFlow Touch Commander (only the task manager) wich is really fingerfriendly.
Hope it helps.

I suggest this one, I think that is the best taskmanager and works perfect on HD2:

or:

This cab happens to be the sony ericson task manager (I'm quite convinced it's the one from the X2), if I am correct ...
Definitely a great task manager, but I think it's pretty similiar to the one from HTC ...
- with (at least it feels like) better performance and more information
- but without the percentage of used ram being shown as in HTC's

Exactly it is the X2 task manager and I think is Great, much better than the one from HTC. It shows: telephone memory (total in use, free), total memory (total in use, free), memory card (total in use, free), sim contacts (total in use, free), sms on sim.
Also shows every working application and you can terminate it

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

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.

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.

A good TaskManager for WM6.5

Guy's,
Since WkTask task manager is not updated for a long time and is not perorming well on WM6.5 platform.
Please suggest some of good alternatives, it will help to get the right task manager for future (WM6.5) builds.
Cheers
QuickMenu
I have always used QuickMenu. Before anyone says anything - I don't replace the main Start Menu, but use it with it. (Make sure 'Replace system's start-menu is unticked). Also in the 'Menu Items', I only have 'Running Tasks', 'QuickMneu' and 'Programs'. The latter I set to Custom folders, which simply contains 'New SMS' and 'H-V Switch'.
The reason why I use it, is because it doesn't hide the text of the toolbar, which is important for some programs I run (eg, it displays how many characters used/left in an SMS message). And if I want to switch tasks, I simply click on the StartMenu logo. The normal StartMenu is simply obtained by pressing next to it (see attach #1).
You see, it's all in the way you set it up.
attach #2 and #3 show what happens when you click on StartMenu logo. You can then go to (or close) any task task you wish. You can even close all other tasks (except the one you've got at the front). You can add your own programs.
If you really want, it can replace the main StartMenu, but I tend not to like this.
QuickMenu 2.8en (website|download)
Quickmenu is handy indeed but it is finger/thumb -hostile. The fastest ever is aebutton plus task manager. It is not free unfortunately.
If you want finger friendly, howabout WKTaskSwitcher which thingonaspring used in his ROM? or is that just a wkTask variant? It was launched via the light button, and then I think you just chose your app (from a selection of icons on the screen).
(I must admit, though, that I didn't prefer it myself ).
Weird, WkTask works perfectly on my WM6.5

Well, wktask has issue with image transparency, it simply can't handle new styled taskbar under wm65.
QM has no issue with that but it is making conflict with honeycomb. Only htc task manager performed well on all these aspects but its memory footprint is non-tolerable.
Anyway, I'll use htc if no better alternative is discovered.

No I do not have uni. I am using an rss reader to catch up with the xda and read all the new threads. That is how I happen to be here. I think this is not an uni-only problem btw (the wktask slowness ofcourse might be more device specific).

try installing Duttys Task Manager 2.1.19183631
well, about this, anyone knows any taskbar manager that can use in every program to change from one to other without going to the main screen and then change?
Like the taskbar manager but on all screens, main and programs.
I really hate that "feature" of need to go to the main to select other program.

I'll have to agree with you there. It sounds strange that the multi tasking isn't build more, well, multi tasking in mind.
I'm probably getting this device next week and would be really interested to know if there's any way to do this faster, like bringing the task manager up with one press of key etc (like I asked in another topic too).

Didnt work for me.
This works:
- Go the file explorer
- Open "My Device/Windows"
- Find Task manager (taskmgr) and press long on this file so the file menu opens and select copy.
- Go to "My Device/Windows/Startmenu/Programs.
- Go to menu and paste shortcut.
- Now you can also add the shortcut to your today screen.

Thanks for the tip, and I tried doing that both before and yet again, but it's a no go.
It still doesn't play nice with certain builds. You can sort of make out the task manager icon in the upper right hand corner, but you can't click on it.
The solution posted above by rob_van_triet though works perfectly for now.
Working but Icon ?
Ok placing a shortcut of taskmgr in the start menu folder works fine.
But if you use this as a tab on the start screen it looks all blury.
Some help please ?
Do you know where is the setting for the task manager so that I could change "tapping X in the upper right corner" to "close the app" and not to "minimize it".
It seems that the whole Touch Flo settings has disappeared.
edit: just read the other thread about the task manager and it answered my question.

It is a powerfull soft.

if not try installing advance configuration again...i guess it says 30mb free ram so the packages that is not used will be omitted to get extra ram and some component needed for fingure scroll might be among them...Do a search for finger scroll cab... i'm pretty i saw it around...

Task Manager from x2

Hi,
Found a Task Manager on the forum that you guys might wanna try out
As you all might know the HTC Task Manager slows the Leo down. So this one might be an option. Also, for all the chefs out there, this one seems to work fine with com 4-5 builds. I´m gonna try to cook this one in when HSPL is out for sure Most of the muis are already in the cab.
Thanks to twopumpchump and drkfng how made this. I did not make this cab!
Try it out and leave a comment if it is any good or it just sucks.. I get my Leo later today or tomorrow so i havent tried it yet. Any one good at grafics might wanna style it to a moore HTCish design?
love it as is, thx
Thanks !
Looks pretty good
I tried this last week and my battery went very quickly so would be good to know if you both have the same problems as me.
Thanx
Looks great, but it does not work properly on my HTC HD2. When i want to access it the bar with batt. an messages opens maybe one millisecond after every time.
There also is a glicth grafic wise, there is a white dot in opper right corner when it´s installed...

To fix that micth you need to go into HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER\ and change the dll string to notificationmanager.dll.old
soft reset and then you'll be able to use the task manager but you'll loose things like the battery notifications etc.
hope this helps you out.
