Hi,
Since SPB Pocket Plus is not really working with the Shadow, I decided to reflash from scratch and not to use it anymore. I got everything I need from other apps, exept for one very important function.
SPB Pocket Plus has a [Close] function that you can map to a button and it actually closes the app not just sends it in the background. I use the HTC task manager to do that on the screen, but I want to map it to a button button 5 to be exact I been searching for few hours now to no avail.
Basicly to review I need to be able to close (really close) apps with a hardware button (button 5). Please help. THank you.

does wisbar seem to run slow on shadow for you? I stopped running it because I thought it was quite slow.
@yozh
you can also do some cool stuff with mortscript

It is bit slow the 1st time to bring up the start menu after a SR, after that seems ok.
@yozh
I mean Wisbar Lite, not Wizbar Advanced/desktop. you can't run that iphone theme with wisbar lite.
Another option (to map the CLOSE function) is AEB plus.
mortscript is a little too heavy for me

Yo VIJAY your button is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much
I hope so... but remember, AE Button Plus does much more and is highly recommende.
But VJOkButt is a very focused app, for one (and a bit) functions only.

I just need it to close stuff thats it, simple, and you app also doesnt close activesync and aeb does. so thatnk you again.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who has the actual '<close>' option in buttons in my Start>settings>buttons option? Has anyone looked?
That is what I use so I have it mapped to the usual CommManager wasted button since if you want CommManager you can simply keep the silly thing in your bar at the bottom.

I tried to install Magic Button on my WM6 (LVSW)

Anybody has an idea about how to fix this ? (Or maybe some similar software getting the same job done...)

Anybody has a clue ? What Task manager are you all using under WM6 ?
Pbar settings is pretty good. That is what I am using and I know a lot of members use it as well.
Is low on resources and able to close the phone app. Something I found Magic Button didn't do too well.

Seems to freeze often..
Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I may try Wisbar (Though I'd rather get some freeware !)
Wisbar Lite was just updated for WM6 and has run stable on LVSW WM6Style for four-days now -- mapping it to button 5 gives you one handed task manager control. Remember to turn off buit-in HTC task manager.
Cheers
WBL has a small bug that causes the icons to have a red background in all but the MS default WM6 themes. Other than that it works great.

hello guys, i ve got x - button, i ve sbp pocket plus but they all need screen tap to actually close the application on hermes, so when i press the OK hardware button key it only minimizes any application running infront.
any idea how to actually close application from the hardware button ?
regards,... to you all..
there is another topic thats fairly similar to this. although an EFFECTIVE answer has not been found (well for me anyway)
a program called AE button pluss remaps all the buttons for different purposes. it works very well but im having some problems when trying to remap the OK buttons.
do a search for it. and give it a try. if it works. post back.
I've been using this one...
http://www.dinarsoft.com/handyswitcher/
Its commercial, but closes apps and clears memory as it goes. IMO nice little app.

I try this software and really close the apps with the OK button, and it is not hard to configure the buttos (i found it easy) but when using this app in my TyTN the scrollwheel stop responding... so at the end, it was more important for me use the scrollwheel than customize the hardware buttons so i quit using the AEB software...
I think that other people here has used the AEB app without problems.

Mablan
Thanks for the info guys.. peace ..
well guys, ive tried AEB plus again and after a bit of fiddling around, ive managed to get it to work
naufil, is it working for you?
on that note, i have found a glitch. as soon as i try to map both the side 'OK' button and the front 'OK' button, they dont do anything.....
button #4075 works. but as soon as i map #405C to close active application as well, they both stop working
I have mentioned this app on the Hermes forum but really feel that I should also mention it here too since I have a Trinity and not a Hermes.
I have always used X-Button until I found this app called...
SmallMenuPlus allows you to have animated menus, cascading menus, lets you keep the regular start menu as well, power off functionn, and allows you to map it to a hardware button so it can be called up anytime. It comes with more features if you want to check it out go here. Get all these features at the expense of only 59.5kb.
I can't live without this app now because it really makes one handed operations ALOT easier.
edit: It works with AX3L rom.

Hi everyone
Is there a chance that someone of you guys (your really great in this forum!!!! Have to thank you over and over ) could make a 12 buttons version of the "Action Screen App" released by Fabliv for the Touch Diamond?
See his Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422136
So for exemple there could be buttons for "sighs sorf reset app", a button for the calculator or/and a button for beyondpod or so. I think the possibilities are infinite!
Hope someone can create such a app!
Thanks in advance!
Ascenca
That looks like a really cool app. Would be great to have a main tab in TF3D for it as well, called "Shortcuts" or something.
That's a great idea, I would be very interested if this gets available for the HD! I hereby declare myself available for beta-testing if needed
I was thinking 12 buttons may be a bit much... I thought 9 buttons would fit better (the screen is only 160 pixels longer than the Diamonds VGA display).
However, when I look at the programs tab in TF3D, 12 will probably work fine
Yes it would be amazing have still buton for "soft reset" and maybe "mute","turn orientation screen" for example. I used action with 9 icon in my diamond and now still in my HD. This is very helpfull app.
Hi...
I have a same idea...
but i don't now for the other 3 button...
if you have an idea...
For Example: tom tom, igo ecc....
What we put ourselves in these three new buttons?
Excuse me for my english....
Hi guys
so is there nooone with the knowledge (and the time) to do the mod on the Action Button Program with 9 buttons to a version with 12 buttons?
Think many would appriceate is, most of all me
Ciao
Ascenca
Ps: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
bump please
For those who have tried, can you tell me if the existing 9 button version works with HD?
Would it simply add an extra tab to the TF3D?
Have the version 6.1 installed of Action Button and works perfectly. Doesnt add a tab in TF3D but you it will replace the left softkey button in the today screen of TF3D. Easiest way to start AS!
Amazing program in my opinion!

Hi Asceneca,
where did you find version 6.1? I can only find version 6.
Can you reassign the buttons? Does it run full screen on the HD?
Thanks

Hi tedkopp
the version 6.1 is only a 9 button action screen.
Below I posted links to two threads which point to the 12 button version of AS!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473059
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496759
Hope you will find what you are looking for in those threads.
And yes, the 12 button version runs full screen on the HD.
To reassing the buttons you have to deal with the xml files of action screen. Search for it in the forum.
Hope I could help!

That's exactly what I was looking for.
Looks great on the HD
Thanks Ascenca
if you would use the search button (just click search and write:action screen) you might stumble upon this also:

hi!
I've installed PSShutXP and it works like a charm!
I was wondering how I can change the Power Button settings to assign PSShutXP to Power Button!
Registry? Tweak?
Thanks
I don't know if this would work on the TP2, but for the kaiser, you just go to psshutxp's folder (in program files if it's installed to your device) and copy the .exe, then go to the windows folder and make a shortcut and name it short_power or long_power depending on if you want it for just a short press or a long, delayed press. let me know if this works, I'd like to be able to still do this when I get my TP2
now working!

sorry just to clarify:
the shortcut I offered worked right?? I wanna know so that when I get the TP2 I can use shortcuts like that.
and does the power button actually turn the phone off?? cos when I installed psshutxp on my tilt the power button just turned the screen off. but it didn't turn the PHONE off
You can find an updated PSshutXP cab file that replaces the LongPowerButton press here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475762
Hi, i just looked at the homepage of psshutxp, however i fail to see what additional benefits i get from this program? Anything that this program does seems to be already built into the preinstalled software. Am i missing something here?

with my TP2 I did manually change the shortcut for Long_Power.lnk and worked right away (as long as I unninstalled the HTC Action Screen...).
about power off, it makes display off, not power ((

this is an alternative to psshutxp. I don't know how this version works, but I've used Dave Shaw's previous version of this app, and it works great!! the power icon actually shut down my tilt! just do the same shortcut for it, and it show work!!

oh shoot it never occurred to me that the version you made for the Tilt wasn't the right resolution for the TP2. sorry Deiota!!!
I can't get the skins to work. I copied all the images to the application's folder but still getting the original screen. I even tried rebooting the TP2.
Did I miss a step? Thx
