close running programs to save battery life

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.

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 do you add icons to your today screen?

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.

i had to do a hard reset.

BatteryStatus on Jwright's latest WM6 causes crashes for me too... pity, as it'sa nice app.

[SOLVED] Remove HTC Volume Control

Edit: See Post #7 for the solution!
This thread was originally posted with this title:
[REQ] Custom ROM without HTC volume control
Hello,
Does anyone have the time or inclination to make a ROM without the volume control? I only ask because I've so far found no way of disabling the program.
Basically I've discovered that the standard WM dialer is more responsive and more intuitive than the Diamond one while using about 8MB less memory. The problem is, the in-call volume won't work unless the HTCVolumeControl can be disabled or removed.
I'm going to follow up this request with a noob question - how easy is it to take an existing cooked ROM and remove applications?
Many thanks

Cooking a ROM without Volume control is easy. Just remove the DIAMOND Volume Control from your kitchen.

Many thanks for the reply! I don't currently have a kitchen.
If I were to find a chef who is willing to let others alter their work, how long would it take a novice to achieve?

Try VIC's ROM for example. Also take a look at: Cooking Guides for Ultimate Noobs.

Thanks again. I've had a look at VIC's ROM, looks good. I'll have a look at that guide when I have some spare time.
How much time would you guess it would take to do the job? I'm a complete noob but fairly quick learner.

Isn't there an option to disable this in one of the tweak progs, either schaps adv. config or diamond tweak, I'm sure one of the two can do this.

This option does exist in Diamond Tweak but it doesn't work.
I've searched the forum and found a manual method that involves stopping a service called HTCVolume, however that service doesn't appear to exist in the latest ROMs. HTC must have changed something which would also explain Diamond Tweak not working.

For me, the 8MB free came when using the standard WM dialer rather than the HTC one. It's not as pretty but it does match my altered windows colour scheme. I'd rather have a phone that works properly than one that just looks nice - which is why I'm not using TouchFlo 3D either.
I would guess I'm getting an additional 1 or 2 MB with the volume control also gone.

Seems the DLL?? messes up the font of the USB PopUp and SIP Selection screen Will try to cook a ROM without the VolumeControl to see if you can disable it without causing trouble to the fonts on the device..

I'm already using a ROM without the HTC Volume Control, Panosha Simple 1.1, so I don't need this cab anymore. It was invaluable before I switched ROMs!
I can confirm that the SIP selection text is already broken, without installing this cab. HTC must have relied on their dialer dll for the fonts on these other menu screens.

Not had that problem, except for the one time mentioned above which was caused by SKTools.
It's a very plain ROM - no Manila, Opera or even MMS! However, it suited my needs and I was able to track down all of the cabs I needed eventually.

comm manager won't load

Hi, I tried many roms and most of them work fine. but I'm always having comm manager issues.
On first boot, comm manager loads fine. but after some use.
whenever i want to use comm manager to load wifi or bt, it won't show up.
I need to reboot the phone and do it.
does anyone know what could be causing this?
thanks

i dont know why it does that but (assuming your using 6.1 and up) you go into the task manager and kill the wrlsmanager process. go back to the home screen and restart the app it should start up now and avoid the reboot.

thanks!
i'll do that when it happens.
so annoying... lol

I had that problem, it was irritating but I just had to make myself press the "Done" button in Comm Manager when I had finished using it, rather than just switching to another app. It always seemed to open fine after I changed my habits! ;-)

it happened again, but this time i don't see wrlsmanager process
and reboot doesn't work.
any other ideas?
thanks

is this an issue in every rom? or could it be hardware?
cuz every rom i'm trying is acting like this.
some don't even load after a reset.
it just shows the color wheel.
i have 19mb free ram. so what gives?
Thanks

I'm not so sure if I am understanding this incorrectly, but is it that Bluetooth and Wifi are greyed out on the comm manager? or will the comm manager just not work?
If it is the prior, then what ROM are you using currently (although you say you have tried many)? If it is Ookba's 3vo V2.5.080809 then he posed a fix on the second post for Wifi issues. I know i had issues where Wifi wouldn't start. I installed the fix, and it did exactly that, it fixed it. Not so sure about bluetooth...
I would go ahead an ask Ookba what he did, because at one point he mentioned suspecting there were hardware differences in some Excalibur units...
If it is that the comm manager wont start up, that is weird. If killing the process doesn't always work, check the sortcut...I know that one or two ROMS that i had used in the past had problems where they accidentally put "commmmanager" or something of the sorts, and most of the time, the phone was unable to interpret that correctly.
If it isnt either of those, then I am sorry I am totally off track haha.
Anyways, hope I helped a bit...

Hi
the comm mananger won't load.
and there is no wrls manager process running.
it doesn't load after a reset sometimes either.
I tried the roms posted in the wiki
most of the wm 6.1 roms posted in the wiki
080408 - Remade By Rickywatt
NRG's 'Rose' ROM ver. 1.4
NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez
and
3VOLUTION series
thanks
what should the comm manager target be?
thanks

Well, i just used a text editor to look at my phone's CommManager link on the start menu ...
Running Ookba's 3VO 2.5 (with the WiFi Patch installed) it says this:
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
?\Windows\SP_ProgramIcon.dll,-110
The second line is for the links icon...the first line points to where the Communications Manager program is...make sure it matches that...
By the way...are you launching comm manager from the start menu or from the CComm panel on the homescreen, or are you using the 'hold down the TZones/Internet button' method implemented in some ROMs?...for any of them there is a way to check the link....
I mentioned above how to check for Start Menu....
For the CComm Panel, go into the registry with a registry editor...Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CComm\ ... in there should be keys named "Page1", Page2 and so on...check each of them for "SK2URL" and make sure that for each the value is "\Windows\CommManager.exe" (no quotes " ")
For the holding down of the TZones/Internet button, go to the windows directory and look for long_IE.lnk (i think that is what it is called, im not sure though...my phone doesnt have that) and make sure it points to the correct file...
That is really all i can think of...hope it helps

thanks,
but how do u check a shortcut on a smartphone, i used to use shortcut creator on the PPC. but it doesn't work for the smartphone.

Do you have Notepad or something on your phone? If not I believe there is a NotePad program on the Development and Hacking sub-forum on XDA, if not you can go to this site, they have a notepad application i belive
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
Use that to open the .lnk file...
And i use Resco RegEdit to edit the registry, but i believe most ROMS have some reg editor built in...

Thanks,
mine says:

For starters, why is it "CommManagerlink.exe", it should just be "CommManager.exe", unless that is how the ROM was cooked.
Okay, try this...
First, go to the WINDOWS directory, and find CommManager.exe, and click it. If it works, then the shortcut is the problem...if so move on to the next 'step'...
Using a file explorer, make a backup copy of the .lnk file (just do a duplicate, or copy and paste into a new folder) just incase something goes wrong.
Now, for the first try, just change "CommManagerlink.exe" to "CommManager.exe" (obviously, no " "). if that doesn't work, do the next method.
If the first method didn't work, try replacing the contents of the .lnk file with
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If that method did not work, then I am really not sure what is wrong. However, i know that some ROM's come cooked with Resco Explorer...and there is a function on one of the menus to "Send to Start Menu as a Shortcut"...that would make it a whole lot easier...since you could just do that instead of making/modifying your own...
Look inside the WINDOWS folder, and look for "CommManagerlink.exe" ... I doubt it exists...but it all depends on what ROM you are using, as I don't know the specifics of EVERY ROM. So what ROM are you currently using?
Hope this helps

Odd, I have both. LOL
CommManagerlink.exe and the non link one.
I'll make 2 short cuts and see which one works better.
I'll report back with results
Thank you for all ur help.

Give me som details about your phone...
Where was it made (China or Taiwan)? (it says behind the battery, on the phone)
What ROM are you running?
How much are you overclocking?
What applications do you have installed?
Are you trying to use the 'NEW' CommManager (the sleek one), or the Old Default (for stock ROMs) that is tacky?
And any other detail you think is important...
From that i may be able to help you more!

Hey,
thanks for helping me out.
I have the Taiwan version and the China version.
both of them are currently using the NRG rose 1.4 rom.
i have programs like,
Sktools, phone alarm, facade and S2u2 installed.
But i had this issues before installing any programs.
it happens on and off. and sometimes a softreset brings it back.
the rom came with the HTC comm manager.
but I switched it to the tacky one cuz it loads up faster and i don't need to scroll.
Thanks

S2U2? Are you even using an Excalibur? If not, you have posted in the wrong thread, as this is for EXCALIBUR phones. Although i guess windows mobile is windows mobile no matter what phone you are on.
I would do some google'ing...search for errors related to programs, bugs, or glitches that might make them interefere with the phone's normal functions. I would try looking at Facade since (if i am correct) that interacts with the homescreen, which i suppose could accidentally screw something up with other system functions.
These are all guesses, and I can't honestly think of anything else...It is really up to good google powers now haha.

Yea I'm using the Tmobile Dash. lol
I use S2u2 as the locking program.
it works well. the old locking program didn't work too well for me.
I had this issue before i knew about facade or installed it.
thanks

Oh, i was under the impression S2U2 was only for TouchScreen. Anyways, so the problem did happen BEFORE using Facade...hmmmm...thinking time!

My current solution...Upgrade to one of the WM6.5 ROMs...they are awesome IMHO and probably give you better battery life...

Enable HTC application launcher

Hi all!
I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..
All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.
Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...
I've searched here but cannot found a solution.
Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?
Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!

I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)
So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...

Personal: This was the problematic skin... ==> [THEME]*Sergio76* [Dark&Light V3.5 Final Uploaded] Full Theme 26/09/09

there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"

Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).

there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"

Thanks for the replay,
I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.
So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.
So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.
Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...
Anybody else a good idea?
Thanks for al your good idea's and help!
I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!

Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that [email protected]#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.
