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
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
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.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eaglesteve:
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 :-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
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.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eaglesteve:
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.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kizmet:
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. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] AvocadoBaby:
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.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] audscott:
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.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eaglesteve:
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

I havent tested it But if you take a wallpaper which has the 1200x2000 resolution, and set it as the background in TF3D --- Then the device doesnt resize them and theyre in really good quality--- could someone upload some hi quality picture which has 1200x2000 resolution (same as the sample pictures in oficial rom, but dont upload sample pics -- need some hi detail pict )

If it works then make a different thread where people upload 1200x2000 wallpapers, not 800x480

On Background4all Tabs the Maximum size is 512*512 because nobody can make a working Header for 800*400, i tried it few times and i get 800*400 hald working, only the large pixel blocks were shifted.

[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
ok, i have searched here and at howardforums to find if anybody has created any custom homescreens. so far i havent been able to find anything except what comes built in to the roms. maybe i dont know exactly what to type in the search but i cant find anything. if this has been asked, could you give me a link atleast? and yeah i am expecting somebody to flame me about this. but maybe somebody will help instead of act all high and mighty
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
It depends what your loking for. First you should specify what rom you're using, WM 5.0, 6.0, 6.1 , Kavana, Rickwatt's, or Rose. Second , Are you looking for custom sliding panels or facade?

Here are some links you should check out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=378000&highlight=today+screen

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413393

You should also check the sticky on how to customize sliding panel homescreen.
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
right now im using the WM 6.1 Kavana Rom. but im thinking of downloading and flashing to the rose rom. and im just looking for custom home screens in general. preferably the sliding panels style
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
ok just installed the Rose rom by ricky. this one is much better and has more homescreen options. this works for now until i get bored
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Glad you like, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=458379 :)
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
I don't think there is anything that you can do to the homescreen on the rose rom that you can't do in the kavana/rickwatt's roms. Stylez can you correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
the Rose rom has better homescreen layouts to choose from. to me they look better.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You get weather and the messaging\call panels are split, there are a couple more panels that Ricky & i made, but pretty simlar, when it comes down to it, you do get the choice of 2 x layout so the Rose & the same as Kavana WM6.1 oh and the Media Top Bar on both.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
so other than additional panels that you guys added with extra stuff on the homescreen, they have the same homescreen options like the windows default, win. music, sliding panel, sliding panel media top bar, win. live default, and colored top bar.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah they very similar bruv, the panel is the new version too, that you would have seen in screeny :)

that's cool, thanks for clearing that up for me.:)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bijdehandje:
Hi all,

My girlfriend has a MDA Vario III with a broken screen. The touchscreen is in tact but the screen itself is broken. Does anyone in Holland knows someone or a (online) shop who can fix this? Or if anyone has a service manual please let me know so i can order a screen and try to fix it myself.

TIA!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snooginsguy:
www.mikechannon.net

It's really easy to open and replace the screen in these. I've opened mine a few times, no problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bijdehandje:
Thanks so much for the manual. It really helps. I think i can do it myself. I have opend and fixed many Nokia phones but never a HTC. With the manual it should work. TNX again ! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fone_fanatic:
Search on ebay and other online places like cnn.cn for the screen and use that manual to replace it. Should be easy if you have experience opening devices.

Good luck and enjoy!

oh also while your at it, you might want to do the "screen hack" which allows you to tilt the screen to a greater angle than normal. I think a guide for it is found in the wiki, if not i remember it being on mike channon's site.

[size=-2]1,000th post :D[/size]
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bijdehandje:
Thanks. I was looking for a screen at the www. This one is cheap also. :D

Can you tell me if this site is safe?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fone_fanatic:
I ordered rom them before and sometimes the shipping is average speed and sometimes its insanely fast (considering its coming from hong kong).

The only issue i had with them is once i ordered a screen for an N82, the package arrived but you can tell it was opened by customs and taped back together. Well they didnt do a good tape job and there was no lcd in it. I emailed cnn.cn several times with no reply, so i just called my bank and reversed my payment. So i guess just buy insurance when you ship it and you'll be fine.
[Advantage X7510 General] Xotic_X_tremist:
I faced a problem with my X7510 touch screen last week,when I was using the program,Notes(in Landscape Mode).

As you see in the picture below,the touch screen doesn't work in a narrow strip in the left side of the screen.(about 3 centimeters)

When I reported this problem to HTC-Company,they told me that all X7510s with original Rom have this problem.

I would appreciate if anyone can test this and inform me about the result.Note that I am using the X7510's original ROM.(sorry for my bad English!!)
[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:

[Advantage X7510 General] cktlcmd:
As you can see. they work just fine either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

Make sure you send them copies of these pictures and send them a copy or link of this thread. Smear it to their faces. :)

If the problem is only found in one application (Notes), then the problem is not your screen. It is probably due to a conflict with one of your application.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
On my O2 XDA Flint with the OS Build 5.2.19217 (19217.1.0.6) I see something similar.

In landscape mode, in Notes/Drawing mode, there is a lag when drawing in the space you mention in the left margin, though it does draw after a delay of about 0.5 seconds.

Typing is not affected

hi,

i can t stand this automatic text completion when you write sms. oonce you start to write a word, it suggest and select some words that in final turn to be a mess and a nightmare.

i didn t find any option for unactive this auto completion.

is it possible to turn it off?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
In your keyboard (if youre using full qwerty) theres a key with a switch abc<-->t9 (between shift and space) click on it so the switch goes to abc side-- now your auto word completion is off --- (auto word completion is named as t9 in winmo--I think :D :D )
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nocomp:
thank you soooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHH :)

worked like a charm

best regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gadgetuk437:
HTC use a flavour of T9 auto-completion called xT9. It is used on all three of the HTC keyboards (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full Qwerty). It's not terrible, but it is a bit quirky. You can get rid of xT9 completely and restore the old T9 auto-completion/correction, which behaves more as you would expect it. Unfortunately the HTC keyboards behave rather unpredictably with the old T9 (the phone keypad just plain won't work!).

Your real alternatives are to stick with xT9 (and turn it to ABC input as necessary) using the HTC input methods... or go back to T9 and use a third party keyboard SIP, or the Windows one.

Does that make it any clearer?
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
Yup, but with any other screen its in 12hr in the upper bar. I dont remember this happening last time I ran this ROM, so Im thinking its something I did. Can anybody direct me how to correct this?

Im not one to post with noob questions, but this time i gotta do it. Thanks for any responses.

Hi all, first time poster, long time reader here. I've gotten many useful info from this forum (updating my 8525, before that, my HP H8315...) and everything has gone without a hiccup, never had a problem since my first PDA phone. However, today as I did a soft-reset on my 8525 (I had Pocket Plus installed, and there's a button to reset). Instead of seeing the usual 3G/ATT screen, there were 4 horizontal bars across the screens. The first bar is red, 2nd is green, 3rd is blue, and last is white. Within the red bar it says:

Herm100

IPL-1.04

Herm100

SPL-2.03

And in the white bar, centered, was the text "Serial"

What's going on? I tried hard-resetting, even taking out the battery, and it still won't boot.

A little background on my PDA phone: I upgraded the ROM a while back, and I also upgraded it to WM6. Nothing was done to it as of recently.

Does anyone know what's up?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rojam_designs:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Baylenthesky:
Hi, thank you for your reply. But I don't quite understand what you meant by "flashing a current ROM"... Can you elaborate further? Thank you!

PS: It is just stuck at that screen forever. Won't even power down or showing a status of it going anywhere. If I lost the sync cable, is there anything else I can do to attempt to revive it or no?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lewnetoons:
try this

try a factory reset, with the phone off, press and hold the a and b buttons, these are the 2 buttons, 1 just above the windows key and 1 just above the ok key, hold these 2 down and power on the phone while holding them, follow the onscreen instructions, remember this will reset all of your info

Hi, thank you for your reply. I tried that and it still went back to the original screen (red green blue white bars).

Thank you very much for all your effort so far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Baylenthesky:
Great news, I just found out that the sync cable is just a standard USB cable. Now that I found the cable, where do I go from here?

I turned on the device and plug it in. The "Serial" text has now changed to "USB", however, ActiveSync hasn't recognized it yet (Not Connected).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WildnMN:
Have you Hard SLP'd your device yet? Read the wiki on the Hermes. It will explain how to flash your device. You will either need to connect to active sync or run the file on your SD card. Check to see if the card is formatted corrected per the wiki. You will need to flash a OEM ROM. Hope that helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HolyAngel:
if you have the mini usb cable, connect it to your pc, activesync wont see it because it's in bootloader mode, activesync doesn't need to see it.

Just download another rom and with the phone connected showing the 'bars' screen, run the RUU program to flash the phone from your pc, it'll automatically see the phone, and just flash it, you should be good from there..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HolyAngel:
yeah, OEM rom for sure

and again, make sure you have HardSPL :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Baylenthesky:
Wow, I just want to say THANKS ALOT to everyone attempted to help. Man that was amazing :)

Anyway back on topic, I have a few questions (I'm kinda slow at these tech things so please bear with me)

1. What kind of ROM (version??, link would be GREATLY appreciated) do I need to flash now?

2. I've read the wiki thing mentioned, but I was not able to see where it shows how to "properly format" my MicroSD card.

3. I haven't "hard SPL" my phone yet (too late now, as it won't boot) so is it safe to flash the ROM? I think the boot-loader screen says my SPL is 2.03 or something (please refer to my original post)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wddpv:
Have same problem w/ my 8525. Plugged in to charger one day and turned on booted up ok. Tried everything before to no avail couldn't get off bootloader screen. Pull out battery to turn off then plug in to charger and turn on should boot properly. I have not been able to get it to boot up properly w/o plugging into a charger 1st. But works fine with this work around. Just make sure don't do soft reset or turn off w/o having charger available or usb cable. Hope works for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Mate, find the shipped stock rom. WM06 upgrade should also work as it should recognise the CID. Do a search on the wiki for "stock hermes roms", you might get lucky. Iy doubtful that you will find it on your carriers site now but if you post what your original carrier was you may find some love.

DON'T USE JUST ANY STOCK ROM.... You require the ROM that has the same CID as your original.

If you find the shipped rom, do as HolyAngel said but make sure its the shipped ROM before you put the Hermes into bootloader (tri-colour screen) the click on the RUU program to flash the phone from your pc. I'd also right click on activesync first and go to connections to untick "Allow USB Connection". Less chance of problems that way.

If you get it up and running (saying goodbye to all your contacts, apps and messages), make sure you download and install Hard SPL V7. Makes it easier to fix if stuff like this happens...
