HTC Task Manager icon missing

Hi. I'm running Manila 2D 19 and I have HTC boot launcher, task manager, and quick menu installed. I believe those are all the programs I need for it to work, but the top right corner is just blank.
I did a search and found people referring to an option under settings --> task manager --> buttons --> enable in quick menu? But I don't have that option.
Weird thing is that it works fine with Manila 2D 22. Any suggestions? Thx.

I have the same problem, I searched alot in the forms for a solution without getting good resluts. Can anyone help with this issue?
I have HTC Cruise 2 with WM6.1.

I had the same problem. Installed some kind of HTC taskmanager (Google helps) and after that witk SKTools changed back to original ROM files (look for *task* in the listing in SKTools). Now I have the icon bac on its place and working.

Solution
Normally you can find in your HTC Phone the following setting:
Settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X".
if you cannot find task manager in Settings/system/,that's because the chef didnt cook it into the rom.
The solution for missing Task Manger Setting:
if there is no Task Manager setting,then you need to download Touch X Taskmanager.cab,install,use resco explorer to search TaskManagerApp.exe in Windows (in my wm6.1,the shortcut dont appear in Startup menu),open it,and in Buttons,enable end programs by tapping "X".
Need to reset to take effect.
Touch X Taskmanager.cab can be downloaded in this thread:

Works now!

Softkeys..

Hey all,
I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..
I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.
Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..
Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you used advanced config?

My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing .

Sounds like you are using WM6.5.
The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.
The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.
If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.

he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.

Thanks for that! I found it in the registry.. the only thing is.. how do i create a URL for the program that i want to run when i click that softkey?

How to point to a folder instead of program in Start menu?

HI
When one clicks the Start Menu/button in TF3D, a page with programs will open up instead of the WM start menu drop down.
My question is how does one assign one of the buttons to point to open a folder (eg Games Folder) instead of a program?
Thanks for reading and your help

Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. All is done manually but it didn't take so much time.

Thanks for your help.....
Will try it out....
Another thing - anyway to turn off the TF3D start menu and reactivate the standard WM dropdown start menu?
Thanks

I am not sure to understand exactly what you want.
If you want to unload tf3d please go in setup => personal => today => then in element unselect TouchFlo3D.
My Rom is in french so I am not sure about the translation. I attached some screenshot : it will be easier

he does not want to disable touchflo3d, when he goes to the touchflo3d startmenu he wants to assign one of the buttons there to open a map(out of the box you can only open programs in the start menu of touchflo3d))

It's easy
- Open your registry editor;
- HKLM - Software - HTC - EnlargeMenu - EnableManilaStartMenu (Change "1" to "0")
- Soft reset...
That's it No need to install any .cab or smthing...

Yes, it will be great if we can have both where Start menu still can be active w/ drop menu and the Windows key button still can be a short cut to program short cut menu.
Anyway to get both of this together since the Diamond2 tf3d menu does not have Program SHORT CUT menu but using the windows start function.

Is there any way to keep the WIndows button as the Program shortcut key & the WIndows Start menu as Drop-down menu.
If I change the value from 1 to 0, the program shortcut function under window button does not work anymore/
Pls help

Task manager

I have bought my HTC HD2 and i cant activate the task manager on the main screen....any help ? idea ?

Yeah pin the Task Manager to the quick links.
HTC Task Manager is disabled on HD2 probably because it slows Sense down

Don't know how to pin it
can't find it

HTC Task
Tried the latest I found (HTC Tachi TaskManager 2.1.37655.1.cab),
but it does not work for me...
Simply everything I try does not work

Have You tried to pin the standard windows task manager to, for example, the answer call hardware key? I've done that in my TD2. You should be able to do this via phone settings->buttons or something (haven't seen wm6.5 yet)

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.

Wow, that is brilliant indeed.
Had no idea that particular task manager was even there or existed.
Nice find.

Damn, that's a nice find, tried the one from dutty but also without any result.
Thanks a million : )

very annoing this find, can not activate my progs. used this trick this weekend.
Dutty's Taskmanager works for me in combination with the brian's taskbar.

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.

not sure the M2.1 is the same with M2.5, in M2.5,
Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager, switch to the 'Button' tab, choose 'Enable the X button to end running programs', select the 1st one 'Eng programs by tapping X'
enjoy

I don't know anything about the ROM you are using but if it's based on WM 6.5 then this X button setting might not exist anymore. Try out AMeBa!

Try searching for your answer.

thanks for the answers, they are useful also for me. In fact I had installed task manager (Duttys), because it was not included in Sense 2.5, but I did not know that with task manager it was possible set the X button to close apps

Wisbar Advance will do the trick.

Ameba and Ameba Settings will be just fine
you can also set longpress on startbutton launching WM TaskManager (/windows/taskmgr.exe)

thanks guys
