Alt Tab + AltF4

Attached zip folder with two files:
1. Alt Tab
2. Alt F4
- Copy the files to your windows folder
- Make a shortcut for each file to the programs folder
- Assign a button to each program
For example I assigned button no.2 (IE) to Alt Tab and button no.5 voice dial to Alt F4
This two small programs work very well
Alt F4 closes programs (Comm. manager too)
Alt Tab switches between open applications (including phone and ActiveSync)
Enjoy

Hi,

Thanks in before, pronor
Edit: Very noob indeed, shame on me... Tatal Commander dit it for me.

Hi edward-riko,
just want to let you know your small apps are excellent, especially the AltF4 is a real "must have" - I wonder why only few are downloading them.
pronor

why few dnld.....
for me I like my IE and Mess buttons. I like you alt tab and alt f4 but don't want to give up any buttons. I need more buttons I guess.....
I may make a cab for this zip for you all though. then the shortcuts would be made automatically.
When I get to the hotel maybe I get bored and make a cab.

Do you mean \windows\"Start Menu"\programs or just \windows\programs
Here is the CAB it places the shortcuts to the \windows\"Start Menu"\programs . Just use settings..buttons and choose which buttons to use.

I have the same problem - not enough buttons - I use IE for AltF4 and didn´t map Alt Tab to any button, cos I use my mess button for Vijay´s Flashlight.
Does anyone know if there is a way to double map buttons? Like button 5 has to functions by using "press and hold" ?

Dear Pronor
you can make the comm manager button double use in order to go from ring to vibrate and visa versa from vibrate to ring
you need to install the attached cab and then power off the device (not soft reset but power off) after you power on and push and hold the comm manager button it will put your device to vibrate , another push and hold back to ring
hope this helps you

Dear edward-rico,
sometimes after I posted something here I become aware of something I forgot before like this time forgot about the CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.cab I´ve installed on my hermes - which exactly does what I was asking for
I guess I will have to learn how to make own cabs, cos if it´s possible with the commButton it should be possible with any button, if one just knows how to do it.
BTW.., since I´m exercising the hardware buttons of my device - is there a big difference between AltF4 and the OK Button on the very bottom right? I think I was never aware of that one before.

i don't know of any other buttons (except comm manager and button no.5) that you can make double use but if you fined something new about another button let me know
PS
didn't understand your question about the AltF4

Forget it - I just tested the OK button with the commManager, which it closes but was not aware that it doesn´t stop a process like your AltF4 does.

with AEButton you can map your Buttons:
"# distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses)."

Auto Rotate HTC Touch HD Screen

I have found an application that automatically rotates the HTC touch HD screen. Works 100% perfect.

I'll try this.Thanks in advance!!!!!!

gsen is an old application already tested many times here!
Conclusion is: the best rotate screen was manually rotate with "press and hold call button"!
BTW, you can found gsen latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939

In registry, find:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI and change the value to 0. No soft reset required. Just go to Settings - Buttons and find the "Rotate Screen"

Despite following exactly the procedures to the registry, the option to rotate is not available in the buttons menu.. any kind souls can help me out here?

Is it possible to switch between apps?

Lets say you have your notes, opera browser and a e-mail message all open. Can you "minimize" them and switch between them. I tried, but it kept closing them. I my previous phone (htc fuze), there was a "home" button on the button that you could hit at any time and it would take you to the main screen, then you could click up on the taskbar at the top and choose what open app you want to go to.
Am I missing something here? How do you do it on this "better" phone.
Thanks.

Go to your Task Manager settings. In the "Button" tab, either select "End programs by tapping and holding "X"" or disable "Enable the "X" button to end running programs".
Or you can just press the Home/EndCall button and then switch to the application you want using the HTC Task Manager.
Personally, I copy the file "TaskMgf.lnk" from the "\Windows\" to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\". And then I map the mute button to this link. So I just press the button when I want to switch between several opened applications.

i use this program...has a really nice and smooth transition between windows...
heres the write and the cab...

Fails to install on my Tilt2 stock ROM (Installation failed). I tried from both the SD and system and I am running .NET 3.5

when you're in those programs, just hit the home botton to get out of it but minimize it. Then you can click on the top right of the screen which is the taskbar, and you see a list of your programs running so you can click on whichever one you want..

Search for a file called ALTTAB.exe.
It will pop u a small window and show an icon where you can click.
It works exactly as it does in Windows, when you press "Alt" + "Tab"

And the "home" button would be which one?

task facade looks cool but how much memory does it use?
i like to keep it simple. I use Spb's Alttab (attached) and have Rhodium Keyboard Controller map my PTT button to alttab.
so when ever i wanna switch apps, just tap the PTT button and icons of all open apps show up on the screen, then either tap on the icon i want to open it, or press the PTT button again for the selection to move over. works perfectly!

Ok, so I opened up Opera and then clicked the "home" button. It shuts down the Opera browser.

Deafcyclist said:
the opera browser is usually still running. it is just hidden from the task list. I remember that there was a registry tweak somewhere to force it visible and some cabs made for it. so you would have to try another programs to test this function.

Yeah, you're right. It actually stays open although you don't see it in the taskbar.

[Q] (Un)wanted popup panel (beginner question)

Open "people" then long press on the menu button ==> open up the keyboard and a transparent panel over the list of people. U can write on panel but not delete. Can someone explain the purpose of panel and how it closes.
Thank you

Thank you for info.
Did not mention. After long press menu button (keyboard appears) and then typing a letter transparent panel appears.
Have you got keyboard after long press menu button?

Yeah if i long press menu i get the keyboard, when i press a letter, the search contacts box appears at the top, maybe you can fix this bug by pushing the htccontacts.apk from another rom and replacing the one you have

I would like to click it instead of the center button to show open apps and close them. Like new android phones do.

Apparentely it's possible to put the virtual buttons inside the phone screen..but not to change the actual touch buttons.
It's a valid alternative, but not what i'm looking for btw thanks for the support @rookie12 !
