Hi Guys, I'd like to have the HTC task manager in the top right of every program (except full screen obviously) in place of the "X". If I want to exit a program, I usually press the hardware "ok" button and keep it running in the background for fast loading later and keep an eye on memory usage with the top right menu. Is it possible to have the task manager always on in place of the cross?
Yes, that would be great. I did not find anything to get what we want, so far.
As a workaround, I used WkTask (http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) which works well, and allows to switch easily from one running program to the other.
Waiting for a better solution, hope that this helps.

Best program iv found by a long way is Showcase. Works like a charm and looks pretty!
SPB Pocket Plus and SBSH both do as you ask... but the come at a premium
pbar works for me. "pBar is able to override the behaviour of the "X" button just like other task managers. In addition, there are a couple of handy shortcuts found on the popup menu. You can even add shortcuts of a couple ..."

Up through WM5, I used xBar as a task-manager, great program:
http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar 2#
It doesn't get along so well with WM6. Hasn't been an update for quite a while, the author doesn't respond to emails about whether an update is coming. He also hasn't posted a message in his own forums for ages.
Does anyone know of anything similar? If you're not familiar with xBar, it's a 'always there' task manager that lets you quickly see which programs are running, switch to them, or close them, just by pressing and holding the center navigation button.
Chaz, why not use the built-in HTC Task Manager? You can assign one of the Dash (the T-zones) key to it to have it launch instantly. It works great!
quick question
how did you remap the t-zones key to open the task manager ?

Check the stuff under the 'Recommended Remaps' heading.
I use celetask, it seems to work well under WM6.

Hey all, I can't seem to figure out how to display the tasks on the today screen (instead of just the number, the actual task list). Anybody know how, or know of a cheap/free plugin that'll do it? Thanks!
Nevermind on this, found a great free plugin: TasksPlus 1.4.
Works great with WM6
Default task list dont display the actual task names and stuff...you can also try todayagenda...i perdonally like that as it displays calender appointments along with tasks and many other things.

AM Task Plus (and also Calendar+) are one of the most usefull pluging I ever use. A must in my Today screen.

I don't like the applications running background and close them all using taskmanager is a burden for me, is there a way to close the current application completely using an End button?
also would it be possible to start the wifi automatically without going thru the commmanager to turn the wifi on everytime I restart the phone?
thx in advance.

You can use the <-- (back button underneath the right soft key) to close most of the apps.. as you press the button it will cycle through the open apps and close them. But a Task manager is the only real way of terminating applications with no exit menu option. I use celetask, a much better program then the built in task man.
Another option you have is getting CHome configurator if you have WM 6.1 - and create a standalone slide menu that only has the task manager. If anything - it just makes it easier to get into the task manager faster.
BTW: Windows Mobile is notorious for this problem and memory leaks. Another option is to go with a Blackberry ;-)

lol Crackberries have their fair share of issues... dont get me started on the pros and cons of Wm vs Crackbery trust me you will lose the debate lol
i am using nsffan's 6.5 rom. When I run TOMTOM, everythings fine, but when I hit the 'end' button to go back to the today screen, there is no sign of the program running anywhere (by this i mean that when i press the top right corner, it shows other programs that are currently running, but Navigator is not there). I then tried going to to Task manager, and it doesn't show it there either. But if I go into file explorer, and click on the link to launch TomTom, it just instantly opens, and was running the whole time! what the heck...
Just to add...TomTom doesn't show up as a progra anywhere (if I bring up list of programs to add to quick menu, EVERYTHING is there, but not TOMTOM. How can I make it an actual program? The only way to open it is to go into the 'navigator' folder in Program files, and then click on the tomtom launcher icon. any ideas????thank you!!!

I'll assume that you are running TT7. There are several different versions out there & two different ways they are installed. 1.There a cab's that install directly to you device. 2. There is also just a folder with the files that you copy to your device. Option number 2 you do have to run the program from the file explorer. You could also create a shortcut of the .exe & copy it to your start menu.
I am not sure what ROM you are using but I don't have the task manager in the upper right corner. If you are using a 6.5 Rom & using the default today screen then there is a small application app you can run. It will add an applications panel.
I can send you the TT7 cab if needed & the app file.
It's simply that Tomtom is minimised. You would see the icon on the main screen if you didn't have Touchflo or Titanium enabled.
I do not see it either in the task manager. It has always been like that for me, no matter if i was on 6.1 or 6.5. Must be a small bug in Tomtom. No real consequence, really!
To end the Tomtom program completely, you must end the program trough Tomtom (3rd page in the main menu).

I always see TomTom in the task manager. It seems that some of the newer 6.5 builds don't have the pull down task manager in the upper right corner on the screen. When I open the task manager from the start menu TomTom is listed.
You are right though without Touchflo, Manilla, or Titanium there would be an icon on the today screen on the lower right corner.
I am looking for a better method for multitasking on my Touch Pro 2. I hate having to return to the home screen before I can access the task manager dropdown and select another program. Is there a way to always display the task manager dropdown (except for when an 'OK' needs to be displayed) in all programs? Or can somebody recommend a better way to switch between programs without having to return to the home screen each time? Thanks!
spb alt tab
spb alt tab is great. i have it installed and assigned the push to talk button to run it. it's just like alt tab in windows xp. i forget where i got the cab from, but here it is. enjoy
Thank, I'll give it a shot. I'm trying out Task Facade right now, but it seems like its slowing down my device.
Facade rocks .. its a little slow .. but works great
I Use WkTask and its working pretty good with my TP2. Strongly recomended.
Im however curious about the SPB Alt tab, I installed it and got it working.
But the problem with my TP2 is that I only can program one button, the HOLD+(talk) button on the device for a task. I Do however got 4 other button on the front and Im wondering if there is a way to to select\choose one of these button to a particular task, in this case (Spb alt tab)?
