Hi there,
Can someone tell me if there is an application that just a replacement for the lock\unlock feature on Touch HD when you hold down the end Call button for 3seconds.
I know the closest thing to this is the S2U2 app but i don't want to replace my screen with the S2U2 Screen (S2U2 is a cool app with lots of fucntions!)
So instead of pressing the unlock (bottom Left) just use the slider to unlock if i need to use the phone.
At the same time, maybe have options so that when a call is received, the TouchHD Answer\Reject appears but everything is locked so the call can't be answered accidentally.
??
Thanks!
Change S2U2 Wallpaper's files with your screen background ^^ then you can cut off the virtual HW key to Answer/Reject in S2U2's settings

Hi everybody,
Every time i want to switch between applications on my HD, i go to the home screen, then i press the upper right icon and i select my app.
But i was wondering if there is a way to press a button for a longer period of time and to have on the screen a choice of the running apps.
Anybody knows if there exists?
Thanks in advanced!

wktask is also good
AEButton + has this feature embedded into a selection for hard button remap. I have my end call button open a little running apps window at the swift double tap.
IMO, Wktask is the best of them all. It works exactly like on your PC. All running program appears on the taskbar. To switch, simply touch it. No need to press another button to see what's running. No need to go to home screen. To close, press and hold on that button.
I think you can't get any simpler than that
wktask is ok... but I think it looks untidy in portrai - some of the text conflicts with the status icons.
Quickmenu has a built in task manager - that's the one I use.

Not really. If you know how to adjust the other aspect of the device such as whether or not you want battery rather than date to appear, etc. I always hide my battery and use the battery meter by wktask, therefore the difference between the battery and time width does not cause inconsistent appearance at all. Mine is very tidy on every page. Whether in landscape of portrait mode, my icon positions always starts from immediately after the window start button, and end just before the H icon. The only thing is I have to hide the message bubble and let the icon come just close to the H icon. I further configure wktask such that if there is no task, then the message bubble would become visible - a small price to pay.

Fair enough, mate... everyone is different and I use the message bubble often as well as bluetooth recieve and send and I find if I have wireless and bluetooth enabled then I can lose an icon or two. Maybe the next version will have an autofit function. Who knows.
actually I use wktask and i do agree it looks a little messy.
The messy things are:
1. when you click the start button, the white glow shows up behind the wktask bar and because wktask bar is not transparent, you see a bit black box over it.
2. You can see the txt sticking out the side from under the wktask bar of some programs with long names.
3. Sometimes it hides icons.
4. I think the battery bar looks ugly. (i disabled it in mine)
These haven't stopped me using it. The Launcher is quick to load a quick list of programs you can load. I hate the tf3d task manager drop down as it is soooo laggy.
Auto resize would fix half the uglyness but i'm not holding my breath for that.

The general (1) settings permit moving the task bar size to the right & left. Personally, I hide the start menu, (setting to 0 left) because I never use it. Then, you can adjust the right size to cover text.
The best think about wktask IMHO is the icons in the task bar....switch between apps and close by clicking "x" or other options available in settings.

1. The glow is only on the window start button, not on the task icon. that is if you adjust the left edge of the wktask to touch the window start button.
2 Choose PC style in the design tab to avoid this problem.
3. I adjust the right edge of task icon to touch the H icon. Yes, it covers the notification icons but I also specify in the first tab that it should hide task list when there is no task, so that I can still see eye them by closing all task. I configured such that click and hold of x button closes all tasks so it is very easy to check if there is any notification behind the task list.
Hope this helps
Had my Touch Pro2 for about a week now, and I'm loving it (coming from a TyTN II) I've found a ROM I like, set it up the way I want it, and I'm very happy apart from a couple of little niggles. It's so fast and smooth compared to my old phone!! And the screen is gorgeous
Anyway, I've been a member of these fantastic forums for a long time now, and I don't ask many questions, since usually I can find the answers I am looking for (I like figuring things out for myself!) but I have searched and searched for an answer to these questions to no avail.
So, here goes:
1. Is there any way to disable the transparency of the task bar and soft key bar on the start menu? It annoys me having the background show through. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and don't like the fact that it's the ONLY place where it happens, I'd like a consistent experience Why on earth did Microsoft decide to do this? If it's going to be transparent then apply it everywhere! It looks a little weird since the ROM I am using (which is awesome, btw ) has custom task bar icons, and little squares show up around them when the task bar goes transparent. I guess I'm just being picky but if anyone knows a reg tweak or some other way of doing this that would be great!
2. Has anybody found any way to change tracks in WMP without taking the device out of your pocket? On my old phone, when using WMP's Toggle Screen feature, I could feel for and use the DPad in my pocket to change tracks and volume without the device waking up. On the TP2 I can change the volume using the volume keys but changing tracks causes it to wake up and go crazy in my pocket! (I've used advanced keyboard config to assign the windows key and back key to DPad left and right, since I find having both hardware and software buttons in WM6.5.X a little pointless). If I lock the phone, then the volume keys still work, which is very useful, but obviously non of the other keys do so no track changing.
I know there is a program that allows you to use the voice command button on the HTC headphones to change tracks on the HTC music tab, but I have to use custom headphones because my ears are a funny shape and normal headphones don't stay in xD Also I don't like the music tab, it seems slow and doesn't show all the album art properly. I actually like WMP, it's always worked fine for me, don't know why everyone hates it so much BTW I've disabled the standard 6.5 lockscreen and am just using the soft key unlock like in 6.1
Sorry for the epic long post and thanks in advance!
Hey guys, I am curious to know if there is a shortcut I can create to open my Notification bar, I am going for a minimalist look and I don't want the bar showing at the top of the screen, however it would be nice to see it at the click of a button from time to time.
I know I can press the Menu button and it will side down, but I was looking for something a little more in keeping with my tidy homescreen. Is it even possible to do that?
*Edit* I worked it out, there is an option in LauncherPro under Bahavior Settings/Home key action. Must have missed that one.
Hello, I am sorry I didn't have time to read everything so I might have overlooked this information
I have just flashed my HTC TP2 with the EnergyRom and after setting up my wallpapaer i also did a reskin of the taskbar and softmenu keys and I hate the way it looks now and no matter what I do from the personalization folder ( whichever wallpaper i choose ) it wont be like before when it had a background and some gloss over it
Is there any way to reset the theme on this rom ? or to get the taskbar and softkey buttons to have a gloss over like before ?
Well, stating the obvious here but a reflash will certainly get you back to how it looked in the beginning.
I rather I leave it the way it is then to reflash ... was hoping for some setting somewhere
Without knowing which EnergyROM version you have, I can't tell you what the default theme is. However, if you unskin your taskbar and softkeys, you should be able to go to Settings -> Home -> Appearance menu and select from the different themes on your device (one of which will be the default Energy theme for your particular version).
If that doesn't work, PIMBackup your contacts, messages, etc. and do a hard reset (you don't have to reflash).
In case you don't know how to hard reset, turn the phone off. Hold down the Send and End buttons (phone cradle icons), and then push the power button and hold it down as well. Keep pressing all three buttons until you see a message about restoring your device. Press the Volume Up rocker key to reset, and again to boot when the reset is done. THIS WILL ERASE ALL INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE and take it back to a "first boot" state - that's why I recommend you backup anything important first.
Hope this helps.
