Problems With HTC Comm Manager in XDA M6 r3

I am quite happy with this ROM.
But suddenly Comm Manager has start behaving weirdly and becoming useless.
When I launch it all 10 icons appear overlapped at the top left square.
Any idea? Any help?
Any way to maybe download and install a newer version?

Don't start a new thread - post this question on the r3 thread.

Multi-Tasking Question:

I'm probably missing a really obvious setting and someone can straighten me out pretty quickly, but here's the issue. I just installed ROMeOS Rom and I can't figure out how to turn back on the Multi-tasking icon that usually appears in the upper right hand corner of the home screen. Is this an option in the Registry? I looked for it in Advanced Configuration Utility but couldn't find anything that appeared to relate to this.
Even better would be a way for this icon to *always* appear in that corner. (Since you can kill apps through the multi-tasking drop down, you really don't need a dedicated "x" for any given program).
Anyway, help on either of these would be great.

You are referring to the HTC Task manager which is not included in romeos roms. Either download the cab which you can find in Monx's/romeos 3rd post or even better, install wktask which is freeware and much better IMVHO.

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.

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.

installing homescreen plusplus on XDA2_Haseeb's WM6.5

Hi,
Sorry if there is a simple straight forward answer to this question but im still a bit of a noob! I have the rom - XDA2_Haseeb's WM6.5 (CHome+LockScreen - 21215) and i am trying to install homescreen plusplus on it, however when i do so all i get is a folder in programs with a Task List TaskManager icon in. When i try to run it nothing happens?
I have tried downloading the Basic edition the advanced and the UI version with the same thing happening.
Does this program work with this ROM?
Many thanks in advanced!
Dave

You have to go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
Uncheck "Windows Default" and check the Homescreen one at the bottom.
However, doing this disables the new CHome today screen. As far as I know, that's the only way to do it.

You can also try chi-tai's Second today so you can switch between CHome & your standard today screen with HomeScreen++.-

excuse me for using this thread but can someone help me with a link to homescreen ++ ?
i've been searching for it.don't know if there's a thread about stuff like that in the forum, sry if there is ... i'm new here.

You can visit the official page or download the cab from the attachment .-

[MOD] HTC Task Manager link in Notification Enhancement WM6.5(.X) [May/26/2010]

Alright guys it's been a while since I contributed much of anything to the forum but I'm feeling generous today.
What we have here is a way to use the HTC Task Manager with WM6.5.X. (WILL also work with WM6.5 - See post 3)
In the HTC Huashan OEM Package leak, the newer Notification Enhancement package has a link to the MS Task Manager built into it. This enables you to quickly access the MS Task Manager without having to browse through the settings on your device.
What I did:
1. Opened up notificationmanager.dll with a hex editor.
2. Searched for "taskmgr.exe(MS Task Manager)" and change it to TaskApp.exe
3. Searched for "Task Manager" string and "Broke" the checksum for the HTC Task Manager(this allows for the Task Manager link in the notification enhancement to exist even if HTC Task Manager is present)
4. Made a duplicate of TaskManagerApp.exe from HTC Task Manager and renamed it to "TaskApp.exe"
5. Added "TaskApp.exe" to system exclusive in HTC Task Manager
6. Disabled "TodayX" so task manager will not overlap clock on today screen
The result - You click the title bar on your device to launch the Notification Enhancement and now when you click on "Task Manager" you will launch the HTC Task Manager instead of the MS task manager. This allows you to add apps to exclusive and also set apps to close when you hit the X or back button on your device instead of just minimizing them.
After I was finished making all the changes, I cooked them in to test. Success!! Everything worked exactly as I expected it to.
Seeing as how pleased I am with my results, I present to you, my modded packages to be cooked into your ROMS.
CAB FILE RELEASE NOTES::
I also uploaded 2 separate cab files. One for WM6.5 and one for WM6.5.x. Please be sure to download the correct version for the ROM you're using.
If either Notification Enhancement or HTC Task Manager already exists in the ROM you're using then installation might fail. This happens because the Notification Enhancement or Task Manager Services may already be running. If this happens, you'll have to do the following:
1. Delete the following keys from the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\TaskManager]
2. Soft-reset your device
3. Try reinstalling the cab again.
______________________________________________________________
I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor just as I have. You can find everything attached below.
(Special Thanks goes out to kimi_sae_ireba who helped to better explain the hex editor)

It'll work on WM6.5 as well but you'll need to change:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]
"EnableTodayX"=dword:00000000
to
"EnableTodayX"=dword:00000001

Cabs posted. Be sure to read the release notes for the cab files.

Installed the 6.5 cab on miris 6.5 ROM. The HTC taskmanager is accesable using the quick menu on the today screen however it breaks the notification manager and only default windows bubbles pop up when pressing the task bar. Uninstalled it and everything is back.

Uninstall - Read the release notes for the cab installs and then re-attempt.
If this still doesn't work, Contact your chef to find out what version of the Notification Enhancement they're using in their ROMs and then post back here and we'll see if we can't get it fixed.

Can you please post some screenshots? I have installed the cab, but there is no task manager shown in the notification. Is it supposed to work like Win 6.5.3 on HD mini? Did I miss out anything?

So what this registry change does is allow the quick link to be on the top right corner but invisible?
If so that's great! That would make the task manager fully functional!!
I might just try this now. As a test. If it works then I'll update the EXT packages and add an add-on cab for this mod.
