I've been reading in posts that SPB Pocket Plus might cause a few problems with the IIs.. I actually only use the battery bar and the "close really means close" part of the program..
I'd really like to uninstall it to increase performance, but I need software to reaplce it - anyone got any good suggestions for a battery meter (that is small and runs on the task bar thing) and a "close really means close" program?
try MTUX SysPack 2.30 for SideX 2.30

Hi all,
I've searched both here and google for a plugin to meet my requirements. I'm after a small footprint battery monitor which will sit either in the today screen section of my Orbit or ideally in the same bar as the start button. I've seen a lot that will work but they either seem to be large footprint or just downright ugly. Is there an elegant solution to this problem?
Cheers in advance,
Ben
*edit* I know the stock O2 software comes with a mini battery icon but I stopped the Orbit from installing all of the O2 software because I found it made the device really slow and unresponsive, so i'm running WM6 stock with the HTC settings for O2 MMS/GPRS installed. *edit*
Battery Monitor
Try Batti - nice little app that sits on top of the Start bar and can be customised to different colours etc.

Thank you! Thats exactly what I'm after, the version notes for the most recent version only specify compatibility up to WM5 though, but i'll give it a go and if it works i'll post back.
Thanks again,
Ben
I can confirm that Batti v2.1 works for WM6 even though it's not listed as being compatible on the Batti site.
One comment, it seems if you have the battery info pane turned on for when you tap the battery indicator icon, the calendar button on the bottom left of your today screen is replaced with a notification button that when you press brings up the battery info pane.
I've not experimented to see if turning of the info pane on icon tap will remove the notification button and restore the calendar button.

Try this one:
Should work also on WM6.

I've tried to use the task manager Wktaskl 1.2 on my HD with Rom DIB 1.1, but I've this problem of a grey band on top of the screen. How can I do to solve??
That looks like a battery meter. Maybe there is an possibility to disable it in application.
it IS the battery meter and it can be disabled
Inside settings, in 'General2' tab, disable "Show Battery Gauge on the upper bar"
Many many thanks, you have solved!! I like very much this task manager and I hope it'll be in every ROM. Now my HD is better than my PC.
I tried pocketplus but it seemed to really have an issue on my phone, so much that I had to hard reset.
I am just looking to get the time (always) up top and the battery level too. Titanium only, no Manilla or Flo.
Any suggestions for a stock romer?
what kitchen are you using?

Battclock works well for me. Do a search.

I am using a stock rom, no kitchens, just looking for .cabs that will help this out.
I will try the search for the Battclock, sounds prefect!
I personally use the battery bar app (it always displays a bar accross the top of your screen to represent your batteryb life)
then I go to my clocks and alarms setting and have the menu bar display the time.
this will allow both to be displayed at the same time.

I was using SPB PocketPlus which has an included battery bar, so I set it up the same as you describe. It seems though that Pocketplus (the version I have) doesn't play nicely with wm 6.5 and I end up with wonky problems. I did however install X Button and Battery Bar from SPB Pocketplus at the same time.
I will find that battery bar app.
Thanks!
not a problem buddy.
it is called battlineSvc. I got it from the Omarket.
Hi all!
I'm trying to make a ROM mainly for myself based on tomme45i's kitchen. I've gone pretty far with it, and I'll maybe publish it if anyone interested.
BUT now I'm having some problems with the ROM.
1. I've played with the settings of the clock/battery display on the tray. On other ROMs if I tapped on the battery, it opened the Power Settings window. Here I can't manage it. Same problem, if the clock is shown instead of the battery. Also as you can see, the battery icon is placed a little too close to the edge. Any ideas where can I adjust it?
2. Start menu. Exactly my problem is that the icons are not highlighted, so if I'm using the jog wheel for scrolling, I can't see which icon is selected (for better explanation see screenshot).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

One of them fixed
Okay, I've managed to fix the Start Menu issue, a file was missing.
But the battery/clock tap-thing is still a question.
it's getting worse
Okay. I've managed some things to work, but now nothing happens if I tap on the tray icons. Only the start menu and the X-button works...
Something went wrong, but I can't find it...
Can someone help me with these issues?
Getting closer.
Okay, tray icon problem solved, the HTC X-button 1.5 was the problem. I uninstalled it, now the icons work normally.
BUT:
I've tried HTC Task Manager 2.0 ripped from a Hermes ROM, and it doesn't work at all.
Any ideas,why?
Hi guys,
Im really new to Android since Note 2 is my 1st android phone (i juz have bought it for 2 days).
I have read several articles over internet which say that shouldn't use the Task killer application (3rd party app) but how about the task manager in Note 2, which provide us some functions like clear ram and end active application?
Should we use this task manager to clear up ram or kill the running app?
Thank you so much
You really shouldn't need a task manager. A few updates ago Android integrated a feature that closes running programs once memory is low. Not to mention the fact that with 2gb ram I don't you will experience lag due to too many running applications.

You never know when you'll need to close a bad app, or see if a process has gone nuts. I use SystemPanel and highly recommend it.
Thank you so much
Another question is when i hold the home button, there is a dustbin icon so what is the function of this one?
And i still dont understand about 2 things in task manager. 1 is end the active app and another is clear ram. What is the difference between those 2?
When you hold the home button from the home screen and see the garbage can icon that is the task killer. I use it all the time as draw something and maybe words with friends use alot of battery. Plus draw something locks up all the time and I need to kill it. U can also individually kill apps by swiping the ones that show up in the list when you press and hold the home button.
