best task manager software

Hi all,
I am looking for a task manager software for closing applications or pending process. which one do you suggest?

Fewbits Application Manager. Easy to use. Free of cost. Effective!

thank you very much, I'll test it.

Application Manager
i have found SmartToolkit (www.e-natives.com) does everything u want and more !!
It is also free and skins and more !!!
check it out......
Use RC08 for VOX as latest RC09 still in development

celetask for me..

I have to agree with prajith... I think I've tried them all but Celetask is still the #1 task manager for me...

AE Button Plus has a nice built in task manager. I personally just use the one that comes with SmartToolKit.

I am using the one that is coming with wm 6.1, mapped with SmartToolKit on long press to the center dpad key.

Use of new applications/tweaks/patches in Vox

Recently, I bumped into a chinese site and found some Chinese ROMs being available for Vox and other phones.
Anyway I'm not interested in their ROM's as most of them are OverClocked...After some google translation, i noticed some new "terms" in their applications list like...
Backup Wizard
fCal Scientific Calculator
Notepad jot

Energy patch
Calls attribution
Home button definition: a single by the desktop, has a long half-light, double-click the Task Manager, Explorer 3, hit-driven camera is turned on, boot about 26.6MB of available memory, 36.4MB storage
Can anybody check where we can get these applications/patches/tweaks...whatever you call
...I guess the names sounds truly promising...

Must-Have apps

can we use this thread for useful applications.
whether its tools to customize or certain programms. There are a lot of people who didn't own one of the latest HTC devices, thus they don't have a clue about the names of certain apps.
Those who do, could help them to install the right tools for their needs.

Too Right
we need load of appz for this phone like the iphone has. we must use the multitouch on board and develop loads of application for the HD2. So all you programmers out there get busy when the device comes out and give us some mega apps for this mega phone

the only MUST-HAVE app for me (and I've always had a few that I really like to have) is PhoneAlarm,
this is the best program I have ever found for conserving that all important battery life.
it allows you to set profiles and then switch to these profile based on time, gps location etc. The result is that you can switch things on and off as you need them (bluetooth, wifi, etc etc) which results in minimal power being used when you don't need the things turned on. for example, I have mine set to switch to flight mode at 12pm and then turns back on at 6.30am, this means my phone is effectively off at night (using virtually no power) and switches back on in the morning without me having to do anything. Why not just turn the phone off I hear you ask, well because if I did that I couldn't use the alarm to wake me up in the morning, and I would have to suffer the reboot time (which, lets be honest, isn't great is it)
and it's cheap to buy,

Please developers can we have an app like painting. an app that lets you paint like on the iphone, my little girl is crazy for that. I think the app is called "Brushes" just take a look at theses pics
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...i-masterpieces-finger-painting-new-level.html

I can realy seccond that!
My brother who is a iPhone user showed me lots and lots of nice apps making life easier and fun.
Prisjakt för example is a nice app that scans the thing you want to buy in a store and tells you the best price close to where you are.
Many many apps like this made me a bit confused wither i should still go WM or go over to the dark side... nah...
And why not a Mafia Wars app for WM as well?

Also include Sprite Backup for any kind of backups we may perform on our Leo's prior to flashing

Essentials for me are:
Resco contact manager (dont know with the new sense)
Pocket irc
SPB pocket plus & spb weather (dont know with the new sense)
Mypersonaldiet & MyPersonalTraining (Gym rat)
Resco explorer, because the WM explorer is a ****.
pocket player (good music player)
HiCalc
Tomeraider 3 (wikipedia offline)
Lexisgoo dictionary
ThumbCal
Coreplayer
Vito Audio Notes
Touch Pal (the best keyboard)
Pocket clock pro (best alarm and date/hour software so far)
SpaceTime 3.0 (maths)
PhatPad (to take notes, but I think that will be unusable in a capacitive screen)
SkyFire

Background all tabs...
I had touch hd and all tabs background was a very good app!
Thank's!

two apps I'd love are an ebay app and sky TV app....but no sign of such things anywhere...except on the iphone and since I can't wait to get rid of the stupid thing, I will have to suffer the lack of these two.
I also will have
Resco Registry Editor
Resco Explorer
Schapps Advanced config (assuing it will work on the HD2)
SPB Wireless (for tracking my internet usage)
SPB Time (as silly as it sounds, I found the snooze on WM too small when I'm half awake in the morning)
Resco Photo viewer (for editing images so I can send them via MMS)

I'd add Total Commander, enabling to change/overwrite system-files (such as the weather_cities.xml for other locations)
Generally I'd also really like to see such an variety of free apps for HTC devices as for the iPhone, cos I really don't want to buy such a piece of fruit, but the advantages keep growing...
I'm a Touch Cruise user, and really reading with suspense the first user-reports on the HD2, hoping it'll not be such a disappointment than my TC, but I fear I'll be disillusionned again from what I'm reading till now...

the sad thing is, there are a whole bunch of apps on the iphone that are free, and yet I would gladly PAY for them if they were on WM.

Cool needed Apps
okey, here we go,
Paint like VS paint or Vs Note pad,
Media like Core player, SPB TV or Dimond TV,
Games like Sky force, and Emulators like nes snes + Roms
barcode reader + step counter or pedometer etc...

Comic Reader Mobi
My single favourite app is Comicreader Mobi which makes comics look bloody awesome on the HD2!
I also use Kinoma Play.

* Resco Keyboard Pro.
Improves typing A LOT on the sensitive HD2 screen (due to the fact that it doesn't allow to change a character once you pressed one on the keyboard)
* Pocket Player with this skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563410
(no more fooling around with the buggy "Audio Booster", ust use the built-in EQ of Pocket Player. Better liberary browsing etc. )

Finger Keyboard 2.1 *free*
Batti 2.1 *free* (I love to be able to see my battery level as a thin bar on the top of the screen)
HTCaddicts CleanRAM 1.8 *free* The best RAM cleaner there is
Microsoft Voice Command (incredibly useful when driving)
SPB Newsbreak (Using this allows me to save so much time as opposed to using a browser alone)
TouchOff 0.5.0 *free* (For simple soft rests)
Touch response *free* (To enable more haptic feedback options)
SPB Traveller (For conversions, currency rates, etc)
Crackwhore's old style snooze options *free* (cause I simply cant use one fixed snooze alarm... this takes it back to the old style of being able to set the set the snooze length of time)
Coreplayer
Advanced Config Tool 3.3 *free*
Dutty's HTC task manager *free*(I really still cant let go of hit x to close apps)
Ewallet (for easy secure access to all my passwords, logins and other sensitive info)
Thanks to the others that have posted, I am keen to check out Comicreader Mobi too and a couple of other apps.

Sorry! Double post!

Must-haves for anybody:
SPB Shell
SPB Keyboard
One of: Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or similar
SPB Keyboard fixes all problems with HD2 keyboards, and SPB Shell is more practical IMO than the TouchFlo 3D interface.
Must haves for tweakers:
SKTools
Advanced Configuration
There's a lot of other good software I could list (e.g. TCPMP), but not everyone wants or needs them, so I don't consider them "must haves".

Do you know of any free alternative to that comic book reader app. I`d love to be able to read comics on my HD2 (for which I`m waiting eagerly(I`m from Romania btw)).

for me: Zooomer - I really like this tool

Trust me, none of them match up to this. It's worth the cost to be able to view the whole page full screen and tap on a bubble to zoom it to readable size! Plus, there's a free desktop version!

Your Top 5 3rd Party Apps for Leo?

Hi folks,
Like the title says,
I'm new to winmo after a hiatus of over 4 years. Loving my HD2/Leo (after sorting out some teething problems!).
I know there are hundreds if not thousands of apps that will work with the Leo but I would love to hear from seasoned winmo users; what are the first 5 3rd party apps you load up on your new device ......and more importantly, why?
Freeware is always good but I don't mind spending money on an application that does the job right.
So, what are your "Desert Island Apps"?
The apps you can't live without?
The apps that show off the functionality of Windows Mobile?
The apps that just "get things done" & of course the apps that are good for relaxation/entertainment..
Do tell!
Cheers,
wab.

Resco explorer, Skype, Palringo, SPB Traveler, Pocketmusic, iGO8, Opera, CorePlayer

Thanks for the quick first response, just like your name
Why those apps? Why Pocketmusic over HD2's built in one for example (though I think I know the answer to that!).
Didn't know skype app worked on the Hd2. Must investigate!
Cheers,
wab

hi
1) Resco explorer - best file explorer
2) Core player - best divx, flv, avi media player
3) Igo8 - my fav satnav
4) Spb backup - name says all
5) Experiment 13, Resco bubbles - gaming

I have just 1 app. which has travelled with me for a long, long time and has seen many devices, started with the old Windows CE Philips Velo: PhatNotes.
Oh yeah, and ListPro (of cause ...)
The rest is subject to changes. Changes that are mainly influenced by the device I'm using. Right now, I'm trying to substitute as many apps as possible for finger-friendly apps.

Cheers folks. Yes, Finger Friendly is good!! I like how the new 1.48 ROM seems to have pinch/zoom in more old apps. PhatNotes and List Pro I have to check out!
Keep 'em coming.
For me right now
1 - Mobipocket Reader/AlReader - For eBooks
2 - Pocket Informant - For PIM and GTD
3 - The Channer/CorePlayer - For Watching TV (when it works) and Media files
4 - Sugarsync - For Files on the go/sync'd to work computer
5 - YoMo Media - For RSS feeds
Above list subject to dramatic change based on suggestions in this thread!

Of cause, how could I forget Mobipocket. A pity though that browsing by tapping on the screen is such a hassle with the responsive screen of the HD2. Although I defined a big margin, I couldn't help selecting text so now and then instead of tapping to go page up or down.
But don't let me kidnap this thread... keep the suggestions comming

Just on that appelflap, in mobipocket, if you go to menu>options>general and under "Default selection action" change that to "None", its then a lot easier to change pages.
I've mine set up with the orientation and full screen icons visible at the bottom on app start (uncheck "Use Windows Mobile 2005 Softkeys" in toolbars tab to see these).
I then use icons to rotate screen and then enable full screen and then it works fine.
I can't go back to "normal screen" from here but its easy to hit the home button and open app again to get back to non full screen mode. I usually just hit home when I finish reading anyway and leave it in the background until I get a chance to read again.
Hope that makes sense and helps!
But anyway, on with the indispensible app finding!
Like appelflap said, keep those suggestions coming, especially for noobies (and there are a lot I think since Leo came out!!).

Resco Explorer - best explorer for me
Alreader2 - for .fb2 books
Navitel - for navigation
PhatPad - for notes

More or less these are my top 5:
1. Resco Expolrer - Best file explorer for me
2. CorePlayer - Plays most videos decently
3. iGo - For navigation
4. MobiReader - Best ebook reader overall. Desperately needs update.
5. Sentry 2020 - Fast encryption software.

Ok here's mine..:
1)Resco Explorer~far the best
2)iGo8~for satnav
3)CorePlayer~for playing most video formats(Althought i think the WMP is better for just playing a video on MPEG format,it has better viewing quality)
4)SpriteBackup~backup prog works very well for me
5)e-Natives Showcase~The best taskmanager for the one that is missing on the Leo!

1. iGO8 for SatNav
2. Pocket Informant as PIM
3. Resco Explorer with Reco Registry Plugin as File explorer
4. Pocket Mechanic to defrag Storage Card
5. The New Resco Photo Manager to resize, correct, enhance your pics before sending...

1. Rungps
2. Mortplayer
3. Resco explorer
4. Opera

Resco Photo Manager looks great! nice one!

Interesting find!!

TURNS OUT:
1.3.6 is not designed for use in a Snap Dragon CPU.
Core Player opens up, but pressing the Play button causes a total freeze "of the entire unit, then only a soft reset the unit back to life.
tHIS DOES HAPPEN..twice to me, and removed it..reportedly the community is wating for the release of Coreplayer 2.0, said to take care of the incompatabilities with 1.36. Guess I am waiting too...
Actually I opted to can Core playerand got Kinoma Play.
I'd used and liked Wisbar 3 but not in the HD2! Turns out that Lakeridge is beta testing version 4 for WM 6.5 right now.
Mine are:
eWallet
Resco Explorer
Pocket Informant
Phat Notes
Sprite Backup Full Version 6.5.5 bld 1
Sorry 'bout all the added info but there's my 5.
Take Care

I've been using Coreplayer v1.3.5 build 7340.
Never had any freezes or had to soft reset.

What's your recommended killer app for Leo ?

As per the title, what's the killer app(s) you recommend for Leo please?

Would a Mod class as an App? If so, Co0kies home tab!

coOkies - and now the thread can be closed best app ever

- Sprite Backup (the most important app!)
- Cookie's Home Tab
- BsB Tweaks (even though I don't use it )
- WiFi toggle cab
- Bluetooth toggle cab
- CorePlayer
- any registry editor
- SkyFire browser
- PhoneAlarm 2.32
These are the must-haves to start with IMO.

Thanks for the input folks, i have to say co0kie's really is the business, even though it's an interface mod as opposed to an app, and i just love it, but my question relates strictly to 'apps'
Appreciate everyone's taste and opinion on what they class as a killer app...
I'll be checking out the ones i've not tried
Thanks

hmmmmm.... yeh ok m8

Ok, strickly apps...
BsB Tweaks
Opera Mobile 10
Resco File Explorer
G-Alarm

Fpsece, I just can't stop playing Street Fighter EX2 . Other suggestions:
co0kie's mod
Swype with Lesscro skin
iGo8
G-profile
In fact there are loads of things on my HD2 which I think are killer and as a bonus it makes and receives phone calls, yes phone calls how amazing is that lol.

Fpsece 0.10 (supporter version for maximum impressiveness)
Crayon Physics
Pocket Sand (dont like to use on HD2 as much as I did on HD, stylus owns)
Opera 10
Resco Suite

Oh yea, and Swype. Funny because I thought it was a stupid concept at first, but after using it, I can't use anything else haha.

The best app on my Device is that i can Phone with it
No, Cookie´s is the best!

Netflix
If you have a netflix account i would say that Netflix Mobile is a great app to manage your Q and it even lets you see previews of the movies right on the phone

LMT - Gesture Launcher - best app for task switching and various other functions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263
S2U2 & S2P
APMobile
Resco Photo Manager (paid)
SPB Time (paid)

I second LMT Launcher and add GarishKernels Egress 4.1 (RSS reader)

FpseCE best app ever!

It does bug me that most of the killer apps people mention are tweaks and mods over useful/fun apps, still...
s2p player as a music player
G-Remote as a remote control for my Media Server TV
CorePlayer (altho a similar app really should have come included)
AlReader - ebook reader

HD2tweak
Chainfire 3d patch
Freda
S2U2+s2p
tcpmp
Cookies
garmin/igo/copilot/tomtom/navigon all great on hd2, just pick your one.
oh yeah -phone.exe and htc_messaging with exchange support

Reading this has actually made me realise I don't actually have many apps at all!
But the ones I use most and couldn't live without are...
TomTom Navigator 7
Skyfire (with tvcatchup.com bookmarked for Freeview on the go! (I'm sure O2 will be telling me to moderate my data usage soon!))
UK Live Rail Departures (for my job!)
Nanogroove/Scilor's GrooveMobile
YouTube (even though it's built in...use it all the time!)
WebVideoDownloader (WVD)
WinMobile Torrent
And that built in "cprog.exe" process is quite good because it enables you to make calls on it as well....I know, shocking! But try it, it works. Press the send key and a keypad comes up with the numbers of all you friends and you can speak to them with it. But don't go telling everyone. It's a big secret.

Here are my must-haves that have been with me since my HP PDA:
eWallet
TomTom
ListPro
PhatNotes
1Calc
I'm not counting utilities like PocketMechanic and others. Necessary though they may be, I figured you were talking about productivity, not maintenance.

I'd opened a similar thread, but most of the wm apps is for customizing the phone.

Thanks for the replies guys, keep 'em coming please... all welcome
Some of these i'm aware of but i haven't tried many at all yet. I'd much rather get decent experienced opinions first instead of whacking allsorts on my HD2, only to uninstall later...
I see no-one has mentioned MSS Converter, which I myself class as a killer. The amount of conversions this app can do is just excellent. A must have AFAIC
Thanks again
