Hello guys,
I'm using the Energy rom with sense 2.5 from march 17
I like very much sense 2.5, but
is there already an easy solution for switching between different programs?
because for example when I'm using Opera 10, I can't use the top left menu for program switching/closing
I'm thinking for holing hardware button may be?
and why most of the programs closed when I press X at bottom right?
my HTC task manager function for auto kill programs is disabled
Thanks

Hi,
ive just received my touch hd and am very pleased so far....
i am not that keen on the task manager tho and have always been a fan of i launcher
has anybody manadged to get iLauncher running and touchflo3d
i seem to get just touchflo running even tho i launcher has been launched
i would like the hold your finger down in top right corner option which brings up the i
launcher menu and task menu
thanks
I am using iLauncher and it works perfectly. Top right corner menu also works (activated by long press and not conflicting with default built-in short-press menu).
But, I've disabled touchflo3d.
I suppose it should work when used together with Second Today. Try using it.
Does anyone know of a util or hack that forces this. When I close something, I want it to close, not minimize.
From the home screen tap the HTC drop down, go to settings, click the button tab, change to "End programs by tapping "X".
Hmm, no dice. I should have said I'm running Valkyrie_v4.8 leo which is sense 2.5 and WM 6.5.1. There is an option under Settings | Task Manager | Button that says "Enable the "X" button to end running programs" which is checked then I checked "End programs by tapping "X"" which is also checked.
Neither option (Ending, or ending on long press) seems to close the program. Really sucks.
You could always try the app e-Natives Showcase. Tapping and holding gives you the option to minimize the window, killing the program, or go to a running programs list.

Another thumbs up for the showcase task manager.
I think I read somewhere that the reason the x doesn't close it is because the new 6.5 interface moved the X to the lower right of the screen, but the default task manager still looks for it in the upper right corner?

That's correct. Hopefully HTC will create another workaround once 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 eventually make it to devices (officially)
Not sure (probably so) if anyone has found or noticed, but the lockscreen is easily bypassed on some builds. My build is HTC TP2(TMO) Energy ROM OS version 5.2.23569(23569.5.5.0), Manilla version 2.5.20121225.0.CFC, ROM version 28.MAY.2010 WWE, Radio 4.49.25.91 . With the latest 1.8.0 CoOKie home tab, plus 1.8 CHT. Upon hitting the power button to turn on the phone and activate the lock screen, you can just "slide" the phone open to expose the keyboard, close it again and...tahdah! You now have access to the Menu button in which you can change lockscreen settings or any other setting for that matter. I am not sure which software is the culprit, just wanted to give a heads up. Kind of defeats the purpose of having the lockscreen at all. Thank you for your time, and great programming work!
Hi
Just got my Desire and I like it so far!
It's a multitasking phone - allegedly! - but I haven't worked out how to have more than one program running and to switch between them. If I fire up the Internet, for example, can I leave it running and open Messages, for example, and then Maps? I realise that widgets are sort of multitasking but what about programs?
Cheers.

Press the Home button to exit an active application and go back to home. You can then open up anything else you like and leave the original processes in the Background. Hold the Home Button to see recent apps and click the one you want to return to (or select the icon in the menu, Either way)

Thanks. But how do I switch between running (open) programs? How do I know what is running? I thought you would be able to use the seven screens for different programs and flick between them.

press and hold the home button to get a list of recently used apps, also u can use a task manager to see what apps are running
Hello, when i hold home key, i just see 6 recent programs, but i want to see all of programs i am using on multitasking menu (like on iphone) is there any way to do that ?
I am sorry but its not possible...It can only display last six recent apps...BTW do you really use more than 6 apps at a time??
In some ROMs like opendesire and cyanogenmod you can set recent apps to 9 etc.. You can also use a task manager with a shortcut to see what's running.
But I do not recommend using a task manager on Android 2.1 or higher.
why ? I saw that on stock samsung galaxy s, when you hold the button it opens multitasking menu with 6 recent apps and under theme there's a link to all running programs
