is there any good program which allows you to quickly close running programs without having to go into settings?
running programs consume battery life.
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2 it is doing a good job for me :wink:

thanks primoz.
where can i download it from and is it free?
will it work on my mda III?
thanks again
Try here ... but unfortunately is not free :roll:

I use a piece of software called PocketNav. All this does is add a lightning bolt Icon to the top right hand side of the screen alongside the normal close and ok buttons. This allows you to click it and a drop down box appears with all running apps listed. From here you can close individual apps or close all apps.
I've attached it below, all you need do is copy it to your PocketPC somewhere (like program files\Pocketnav\), and place a shortcut to this in your startup folder (\windows\startup\) so it starts after Resets.
Hope this helps,

RetiBar
try this software http://www.mail-mobile.it/download.htm
it's free
u can also try this good freeware : "my tools" by micro cheng
RetiBar
Hi, how do I install RetiBar? It's a CAB file with two files in it (0RetiBar.000 and RETIIT~1.001).
Thx
Pocketnav is free and a brilliant simple unobtrusice piece of software that serves its purpose superbly.

Have to agree, but I can't use it anymore. I use maimaich's (I am sure I mispellt his name) contacts program and like the side effect that I can use the Red Exit key to close programs as well, this does not work with most of the task closing programs except "my tools" (so far).
Wish I knew why, because I much prefer PocketNav.
PocketNav is excellent!!! I've yet to find a better program.

Thanks, MiTULSKY, just tried RetiBar and it works great for closing programs and does not affect Maimaich's contacts program using the End key as a close for all other programs. Only wish it I could make it smaller, but it does the trick.
RetiBar
No dude! RetiBar came from lorenzo_bisi. I'm sure it will work great, BUT I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO INSTALL IT!

how woul di do that in wm6,
i would like to add buttons there that i use frequently, like phone, and tcpmp
.. file explorer.. and so on, how would i do that?
For example if u need to put on today screen any programm shortcut, go File explorer-My device-Program Files-Folder of desired programm-.exe of this programm-tap and hold-add on today's screen.
thanks for the reply!!
So i held it down on player.exe of tcpmp using resco file explorer the option it gave me was send to: today screen as plug in.
i choose that, and it's not there!
i'm running jw's wm6 rom.
thanks a lot though, for the help so far!

Well if its prompted you as a today plugin why dint you go to "Settings-Today-Items- and if its listed in the today plugins then tick the box next to it,and it will show on your screen as a pluggin item.I personally use wisbar desktop for that.

I attached a file which creates a kind off desktop like i have.
It also gives you the possibility to overclock your device. USE THIS FUNCTION WISELY. if you do not know how to use this search for: overclock wizard
this should be perfect, it adds icons AND overclocks?! i hope it's compatible with the universal.
thanks so much, you're all great!
i'll try this tonight and reply.
IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
it's awesome,
too add phone into the tray is to add windows/cprog.lnk
this makes it so much better for me, how cool.
thanks guys!
thanks tabasco!
argh!! phone troubles. after the install and a restart now my o2 won't get past the windows mobile welcome screen...
after a hard reset it's fine. this sucks though. cuase that program was awesome.
as awesome and easy as that program was it just wouldn't let me restart if i tried it would hang at the windows mobile screen.
soooo....
this program works but it's a lot more work.
the tray launch program work, but it's so much work!
you have to manually type in the locations of the exes..
"windows/cprog.exe"
for the phone.
and so on.
but at least it work for me on my mobile 6!
i have to open tray launch again if i restart. that sucks.

Can I ask you a favor? Can you please copy and post the .exe file for PHM Tray Launch from the programs folder? I find it too much if I install everything in the CAB file. Too much stuff I don't need. Thanks in advance.
OR would someone be so kind enouigh to post the PHM Tray Launch .exe file?

Thanks for this information. So which application do you use creates a better icon?
this program, once installed can add icons to the tray in the bottom very easily, howver, it causes my exec not to reboot properly.
you may have a different result
i had to do a hard reset.
BatteryStatus on Jwright's latest WM6 causes crashes for me too... pity, as it'sa nice app.

how do i find out how much remaning space i have on my storage card and phone? thanks

Use this very nice freeware utility called BattMemTime:

If you don't want to install something to check this, use the built in Task Manager, press 'Menu' and then 'System Info', it shows up there.

I don't believe that this tools works as it is intended for PPC's Today screen.
But the Excalibur is a smartphone (no touchscreen).

Wow, I think I must have woken up a blond this morning. You are totally right, wth was I thinking
Great program for PPC though. I would love to find just a battery indicator, not for the home screen, but something like ClockonTop that always sits on top and tells me the battery life in percentage.
yeah ClockonTop is great - maybe we should ask the author to extend his tiny little program to show also (optionally?) the battery status in percent...
There is also another little smart program called Vista Hide Battery Gauge - look here (XDA-Developers is simply a great forum )
Hmmm, I tried it but nothing happened
You are right, a great forum.

Why bothered installing additional program ??? ( waste of space and resources )
Can anyone recomend a program for making notes of the today screen (i presume there must be a program for doing this). preferably free too
Cheers,
handwrite memo
Yes, there is, and it's freeware too .
Look here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-hand-write-memo-today-plugin.html
brilliant thanks very much, will try now
-- Doesnt seem to work, downloaded and installed ok, but doesnt do anything... lol
anyone else tried it?
I don't know the program, but maybe you have to activate it in settings - Today? Today-plugins need to be activated through this menu to display them.
had a look there, its not in the today settings anywhere...
I think it should be there in the "items"-tab.
But like I said, I don't have this program, so I don't know for sure...
yeh, it should be, but it aint. ah well. find another prog... cheers anyway
I used to use NotesToday, and made some skins for it.
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5690811
Nice app, but I realised that it gets a bit cramped writing notes on the today screen. That's what the Notes app is for! Also try BugMe, a great app.

Here is the readme file at the site of the developer:
http://home.comcast.net/~cheezsj/pocketpc/handwriteforpokep/english/Readme_English.txt
You have to install the program in main memory, after that the prog can be configured in settings > today > items.
Hope this works for you.

Hi,
I would like to share with You my little app, that I wrote to make using HTC easier and more comfortable. With this app You can assign finger friendly keybord when stylu is In, and small keyboard for stylus when it is out. Unfortunately it works only on devices with stylus sensor like HD, Diamond, Touch Pro, SE X1 (I hope it works, I've tested with BlackStone only). If you have some suggestions, ideas or if You run this app on other devices please let me know.
You can download it from here (Sorry for my English and google translated page).
I've updated apllication to version 1.1.2
New features:
- support landscape mode
- up to four screen keyboard support
I hope it'll be usefull.
nice app...i'm sure it will help me, as it seams that my touch hd keep changing input keybord completely randomly and with no logic whatsoever so will give a try...hope it will bring an law and order to that mess
dobra robota kolego
Uh... I don't think X1 has a stylus sensor...

hi
hi any screenshots available? does it work like sipchange ? able to auto choose which keypad u want after startup ?
I've attached some screens. During system start, application is checking screen oreintation and stylus state and then deciding which keyboard should be used.
Hi, this sounds very interesting. Unfortunatly the link doesn´t work.
Could you just post it here?

Thanks man. It works fine in blackstone.
Link doens't work for me too...
I tried the Cab file above, it really works, meaning it will change the Imput method according to stilus in or out.
But if I closed the phone or make a soft reset, the first time I want to write a message the imput method is still the standard one
You must setup program to start service with Windows.
Do you mean select the option "Run at Start up" ?
Yes I did select it but as I mentionned, after a reset or turning the mobile off, the first message I will write will open with the standard keyboard... I then move stilus in and out and it starts to work correctly until the next reset or turn off
So strange, because program is started. Maybe You are using keyboard which is loaded leter. Uncheck 'run at start' and add shortcut to autostart. After this program should start after all proceses and services.
Good idea, I will have a try...

Hi Nitro, is it possible to launch an application when you take out the stylus? I would love to have Phatpad opened when I do so, to take a quick note.
I won't mind closing it the one time I pull out the stylus in another app.
Hope you can help.
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a ROM out there that offers a tweak that allows the Zoom bar to be used to scroll thru lists like the old TP1. So it will save time with File explore and other apps. Thanks, and i am sorry if i posted this in the wrong place.
Also if there is anyother tweaks for the Zoom bar

Which rom are you using... if the chef is using a smarttouch.dll from another phone ext like leo it will not work... if you open opera or IE it should allow you to zoom in using the phone zoom bar.. the registry containes allot of entries so it should support allot of different applications....
edit: may need a reboot to take effect.

im using fusion rom v5.1 and zoom already works on opera,
will it work on scrolling through contacts on beejive im ?
Ive just started using this tweak and its pretty nice, but im wondering if its possible to reverse the setting. I would rather sliding to the right mean scrolling upward (up dpad) than what it is now. Also take into account that when i expose the keyboard and attempt to to slide to scroll up, i actually have to slide down to scroll up!
can u guys can make 2 work with iris browser that would by nice
