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.

Hi vijay555,
Can I use your app to really close running programs by using the hardware-Ok-Button??
hi..
is there anywhere i can downld htc task manager v1.51..the new version?..i`ve been looking all over but there`s only version 1.5 is available..
thanks in advance..
Hi there,
Is there a really simple FREE low memory program that will allow you to assign a hardware button to toggle the device/key lock on & off?
i.e. pressing & holding the end call softkey rather than hitting the today screen plugin.
Thx,
GW
No-one have a solution for this?
If topic alady covered, apologies. Please direct to post if one is present
Hi Gulioth,
I've tested two solutions for your problem
1. is slide to unlock, also known as SU2
You can start his app by pressing a predefined key.
2. Install the htc home customizer plus htc home. On the tap apps, you can define a shortcut to lock your device. it is the simple WM lock.
For me the last solution appeared to be the best, although you have hit the screen.
If you can't find the apps, post again and I'll try to find the links
Thanks for feedback & suggestions.
I cannot use the htc home customizer plus htc home as it's causes the phone to lag & crash frequently.
Just looked at S2U2 & I think it would do the job however which version would work well with the Artemis/XDA Orbit?
Are there other alternatives?
Anyone help us out here? Just want to know if S2U2 would be the best solution for my query, and if so, which version would work best for this handset? Also any alternative recommended programs out there?
Cheers
hey,
I use S2U2 as screen locking. Currently have the latest version and works fine with the artemis, although sometimes when unlocking, the screen gets locked immediately again.
there are some other apps like throttle lock, but I don't know those can be hooked to a key like you say (i.e. pressing the red button two seconds or so)
such a key-hook would be great!
unfortunately I don't know about programming for WM

Ok thanks I'll give it a go.
One last thing - is it best to install the QVGA or VGA version for the Artemis??!
since the artemis screen is 320x240 which is a quarter of VGA (640x480), QVGA would be the choice

LOL I figured it out cheers
At the risk of being a smarta$$ - wouldn't a quarter of 640x480 be 160x120??!!
640 x 480 = 307 200 pxl
320 x 240 = 76 800 pxl
307 200 / 76 800 = 4
Here is the quarter
I just got a TP2 today, one little annoying thing is that it doesn't wake up when I slide out the keyboard.
There must be a setting for this surely? I can't find one anywhere though!
I have a Vodafone UK handset if this makes a difference, looks like they just skinned the touch flo comparing it to my wwe HD.
my does wake up, so I don't know what yours does not.. think what you've installed.
I've only copied my contacts over and used SMS... That's it nothing installed!
I even did a master reset and it didn't work 'out the box'.
Does the screen auto rotate if you have the phone switched on?
No mine doesn't open when I slide the keyboard out either. Also Vodafone
This is what someone from Voda said on their forum:
Jenny from Vodafone eForum said:
When the phone is in sleep mode, the only way to wake it up is to press the power button. Don’t worry, this is normal and isn’t a fault of any kind with your phone. smile.gif
All the best,
Jenny

I responded saying it was not the case with HTC ROM, waiting for a reply now from them.
Surely there is a registry hack we can do to enable this? It's a really minor thing really but it's occasionally useful.
I noticed there is no YouTube player on the Voda ROM either, they've removed it for some reason!

Yes there is a reg hack.

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?

it worked on my TP!
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

Does anyone has a link for PS shut down?
Anyone know a simle program which can turn on, and turn of the xperia's led light?
The camera software is use a lot's of memory...
Flashlight
Hi!Install the htorch.Be careful with the full brightness because of the plastic melt.
Magyarul:Én a htorch nevü alkalmazást használom.Csak vigyázz vele mert ha a teljes fényerő mód is műküdik akkor 30 másodperc után is kárt tehet a ledben.Alacsony fényerőn viszont tökéletes!
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440405
google: htorch v3.2
Thx a lot, I will test is.
( Éljenek a magyarok! Vicces, hogy egy nemzetközi fórumon épp egy honfitársamtól kapok segítséget. Mégegyszer köszi szépen. )
"Torchbutton" is a more simple program, which works perfect for binding the program to a hardware key, in my case i've set long press of the "OK" button to torchlight, so whenever i need light, i just hold ok for 2-3sec and BAM the led is on =) very handy!
Of course you could just have a shortcut to the program on the start menu,(default) or if you use some today plugin (like SPB pocket plus or most of the dozen popular today-screen programs) you could have a shortcut at the today menu.
Edit: i've also tried hTorch, but i find torchbutton to do the same thing, but only faster, takes less memory/space and overall simpler to handle, it also got a SOS-function, so you don't miss out on that.

Ever heard of a 'search' button?

BTW I test the hTorch and work fine. Exactly that was what I need.
