How is everyone's battery life with this? Not sure if it's the program or not but my battery life seems to be worse after a full charge after installing it. I took it off the charger this morning and went out for about an hour and when I came back home, it showed 95%. Normally it would be about 98-99%. Did not use the phone at all by the way. Will keep using to see if it gets any better. Wonderful program, hopefully it isn't impacting battery life so I can keep using it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WarlockW:
Wow very cool!

Another +1, this is a great app!

I'd love to see you continue to update this !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAMeingast:
I very much like this app! Using it without any severe problems on my HD2. The only issue I have: It seems the HD2 is far too fast for the animation to be visible: The switch to open apps is instantanous - even if I set the animation frames to 20 (higher values are not possible). Is there anything I can do about this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sperrypc:
Great Apps!

Installed on my Xperia x1i and it rocks :cool:

Thanks to kingofslide54 for the Aurora WVGA theme :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
It needs for launch 1.5-2 seconds

selecting next task take 1 second

why is so slow?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] woaloo:
Really great app

Thanks a lot for this beautiful Task Manager.

It's worrking like a charm on my HD2

It's a bit to fast, I can't see animation !!!

But every thingd seems to be OK, not even a single bug.....

I would like to use this but, I don't understand how. I'm on the TIlt 2 here, so how do I pull up the program without using the start menu? Seems like a waste of time if I can't change the hotkey it uses?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] atjong1:
When I tap TaskFacde4.cab to install it on my HTC HD2 with stock 1.66 Dutch rom it immediately prompts:

"Installation of TaskFacade4.CAB failed." (translated from the Dutch message below)

"Installatie van TaskFacade4.CAB is mislukt."

What's wrong here? How do I install it?

PS: I do have CF 3.5 installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spacepants:
Heh, I have the same problem. Looks like the dev abandoned the project about a year ago, so I decompiled it, increased the max number of frames, and added a sleep statement between frames. 99.9% of the code is by gps dude who wrote it.

Anyway, check it out.

Im looking into getting a hd 2 with my t-mobile upgrade and i was wondering what you have your hot key set up to? and can you set any button to open the app? ie holding windows key??

Themes do not work well with your version though... somehow with my phone.

So I reinstalled the original cab from gps-lover, and replace the taskfacade.exe with your version - and now everything work well!

Probably never... The author hasn't released anything new or posted here in a year... :( Please read spacepants post above!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iBlade67:
Thank you very very much spacepants, works awsome on my HD2 also. Uped up the frames to 80, edited the theme to my liking and it just looks great with a smooth animation.

Also mapped the windows key to taskfacade via aebutton. Thanks to the original developer too.

Guys, look around the thread before you post. Don't think you are the first reporting the dead link. If you are not willing to read the last few posts just use the search feature provided on the top right (3rd option from the right, just under your username).

There is a post a few pages back where Spacepants was nice enough to decompile the abandoned project, update it, and post back a link to the newer application.

Anybody working in the code?

Hi, is anybody working in the code?

As TF4 is open source and the source is available at sourceforge, I downloaded it and I'm taking a look to it in order to implement some ideas on it. As I have no experience on C#, don't expect short term results. However, I do hace experience on C/C++, so I don't thing It'll be too hard. BTW, if anybody else is already working on it -or wants to- please tell me.

how to you configure taskfacade?

i dont see any configuration/settings

how do i remap a different button to launch it/task switch

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iusauser:
TF boosted

For MAX speed, set:

Menu -- Options -- (more>>) -- System -- "Animation frames" -- set: 0

If you don´t see any configuration menu, only tap in a empty area while Taskfacade is open

Important: for the best speed, use Teksoft´s "SpeedBooster" (shareware), set TaskFacade priority 1 step before max priority, and voilá.

If AEButton is used to remap and invoque TF, set it also at high priority (in my TP1, TF runs with the Enter button [double click]

Use Spacepant´s TaskFacade 4.02 mood

This may have been asked before, but is there any way to add a TaskFacade icon to the menubar for quick launch? I'm not a fan of gestures and I don'' have any hardware buttons on my phone (TG01).

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Hey gps-lover. New version is much better, but still some issues. It updates photos now which is great. I still get some funky issues with the wait cursor being on for a long time, doesn't seem to be a good reason for it. Also, the doubling issue is better but still not gone. If I have a program open, go to Dynamo, select it, then open up the taskbar, and go to Dynamo, it has now made a new image with the taskbar overlapping the program, but still has the other image too. Tapping either one brings me to the same program. Hope you can get that sorted out.

Also, as somebody mentioned, Dynamo will not pop up when S2V is on screen. Tom Tom does not work either. Dynamo 2 handled these applications perfectly, so I would suggest you look back in the source code for some important code you may have cut out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:

hey BF64,

was waiting for your reply. thanks.

meanwhile, the new release is up.

would be thankful for your prompt opinion...

hahaha my bad, i was so exited about the update that i missed 3.2 from 3.02 DOH!!!

thanx for the update

I deleted the Dynamo folder of the previous version before installing this one.

Edit: Nevermind, 3.2.01 solved that. As for the wait cursor, it doesn't show up anymore when Dynamo starts, and it is not imprinted on any of the screenshots (woohoo!), but for some odd reason whenever I bring up Dynamo after it's already been opened, the wait cursor appears and stays on the screen. The program is still responsive, it just has the wait cursor image on the screen until I click on a thumbnail and open up that window.

Also, and this is a very minor point, I have noticed that when I use Dynamo to go from one program to a new one, the thumbnail zooms in to full screen, then for a split second it shows the old program, and then reverts to the new one. I remember Dynamo 2 did this as well. Not a big issue, but was wondering if there was a fix for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jethro_static:
Yo mr. gps-lover. Is it posible that U can make the apps rotate like a carousel on ur next build? It would be nice. I got the idea from the Nvidia tegra UI and I think it will be awesome. I put the link on the bottom. I don't know if it's ok but I hope it's ok to put a link.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I have also noticed that Tom Tom now works but it takes a while for it to bring the program up. Any chance of making that a little faster.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neotelos_com:
Nice updates, latest is working quite well. :)

Maybe I'll bother looking at the source later and see if I can help out. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neotelos_com:
Ok...I feel really awkward asking this, but what do you use to compile this?

The source given is from a Mac, I'd automatically assume VC++...but then again I haven't gone much beyond command-line C++.

I undestand the code, and wouldn't mind helping...I just don't know where to begin. ;)

I was just skimming through code, I have no idea what you've already changed, but I've noticed a few things that can be either stripped out or optimized.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
don't know what you are talking about.

first, I didn't ask to help me with programming;

second, i didn't publish sources. are you doing reverse engineering? why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
this new version is kind of working better.. but also kind of not

I mapped it to a button just as I did before, by creating a shortcut in programs (that worked last time and is the only way ive gotten it to work)

with the newest version, when it is running it works great (however I changed the exception to INCLUDE programs and settings, but they still dont seem to show up)

hoewver, sometimes Dynamo will activate, but often it wont, when started by pressing a hardware button it is mapped to.. it will work if I open it via Total Commander, but not the hardware button (most times)

basically sometimes it will work through hardware button, but most times it wont

im tired ;)

hopefully this can be addressed in upcoming version?

htanks

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0k0m0k0:
quite perfect

This new version is well working for me, without problem with button mapping...

There is also something said about the config file, which file is it and how to edit config?

It would be nice if we could bypass the "today page" for ex. (users of spb mobileshell for ex dont need to switch to this page anymore...). How to do that?

Thks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
in the folder /Themes, see the Default.txt file. It is commented enough to use it.

To bypass the Today screen, add it to the "banned window names" section as Desktop. I added this feature exactly because of the SPB MS :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] galmok:
version 3.2 doesn't work at all for me. It crashed upon startup.

It crashes in:

Dynamo3.PositionCalculator.CalculateTile(...)

Now I have to find version 3.1.1b that I didn't make a backup copy of. Anyone got it somewhere?

Edit: I managed to start Dynamo 3.2.0.1 by starting it with TotalCommander. My previous attempts was starting Dynamo using a hardware button mappen to Dynamo. This apparently crashes Dynamo.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
please download 3.2.01
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] galmok:
That is what I am using. I was just writing 3.2 but I meant I was using 3.2.0.1 and that is the one crashing. I have not used 3.2.

Also, would it be possible to have Dynamo update its snapshot when switching to an application? Currently that is not possible unless polling is enabled (which it too costly in terms of cpu usage).

When setting "snapshot update rate" to 0, snapshots are never updated. Wouldn't it be nice to have it update once the switched-to application has finished redrawing? Maybe take 1 snapshot 5 seconds after switching to an application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] galmok:
Hmm after having successfully started Dynamo 3.2.0.1 once (using TotalCommander), I am now able to start Dynamo using a hardware button. This is a tad weird...

Also, when starting Dynamo, it cycles through 3 apps, Today, Comm Manager and Total Commander and end up showing only 2 snapshots; one of the Today screen with half of TotalCommander showing as well, and one of TotalCommander. Comm Manager isn't shown, but on the subsequent activation of Dynamo, Comm Manager does show up (3 snapshots showing).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ngl1984:
version 3.2.01 can't make me show Programs and Settings windows,even if i delete them from the banned windows option

And i can't see Messaging windows too,and this is not included in the banned windows option
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
attention!

Programs and Settings (and Games) windows do not have to be shown in the program.

If you removed these from the banned windows list, please put it back.

I will hardcode them and remove them from the settings in the next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Wait, you're hardcoding them to NOT show up? I would like them to be displayed actually unless I specify otherwise in the program settings, especially "messaging".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neotelos_com:
I was refering to the original Dynamo2 (updated) sources.

I don't know why you are being so rude with such a respond, all I did was offer help, you can politely deny it...especially since you didn't even develop the original and the original author was nice enough to supply sources.

*not to mention the thread you got the source from was aimed to be a group effort to update the code.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] galmok:
I agree with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
I agree with Blowfish64.. I would like to have the choice, since I like to have programs, messaging and settings show up if they are open.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ngl1984:
i agree too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Ok, got some more problems. Now when I tried to open Dynamo, it showed up on the taskbar (am using Wisbar Advance 3 which shows open programs on the teaskbar) and it is open in memory when I check the processes running in MemMaid, but it won't pop up on the screen.

Also, when programs are minimized, Dynamo does not initially show them. For instance, I have PocketCM minimized and it does not register. If I bring that program up and THEN activate Dynamo, it will take a snapshot, and work from then on, but not until I've brought the PocketCM screen up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
I am also having issues with Dynamo not popping up when I activate it (or try to activate it)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neotelos_com:
Anyways, I didn't get a response, and I didn't like the way I was treated...

Thus I choose to use my rights as given from the original developer:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributeExtendedBinary

I hereby would like a copy of the modified source code, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
sorry,

the folder windows such as Setings, Programs and Games are the part of the Desktop process.

the program registers and shows one (main) window per process.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
then sorry, did not understand what you have meant...

actually, i've already changed the code completely, so do not know, how you can help me with the old one.

and you are right, lots of things were optimized.

answering your previous question, it's simple c# / .net 2.0 code.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Ok, sorry I'm posting so much, but have another thing to add. I've discovered that the wait cursor problem only happens when I use Wisbar Advance 3 to skin the wait cursor. If that program isn't doing its thing, the wait cursor does not stay on screen. I don't know whose issue that is, but is there anything on your end that you could do to resolve the conflict between the two programs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I'm also seeing Dynamo quit whenever I open ThumbCal. It's fairly specific though. If Dynamo is running and then I open up ThumbCal, if I call up Dynamo I get the shutdown. However, if Dynamo is running, I open up ThumbCal, then go to a different program and call up Dynamo, it works correctly, takes a snapshot of ThumbCal, I can select it, the whole shebang. Weird. Anyway, I get the following error:

I have also seen that S2P is not in the windows list...

And finally as other said it would be better if the program list and config panel were not excluded (hardcoded or hard to code? ... ok thats a feature :D )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
no-no, please go on. your help is very useful and for sure heartily welcome!

you know, IMHO we should first polish the main functionality, not going too deep into one and every special case caused by those quasi-system programs. i mean cursors, shell extenders etc.

when the main thing is done possibly we could go a bit deeper to handle such exceptions.

what do you think on this approach?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I agree that bugs affecting the main functionality should definitely take priority. Especially when it comes to windows not showing up, causing errors, etc. I just want to make sure the special case problems are on the to-do list ;-).
