[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Tried it. Don't like it. Sorry.

All I would want is that the task program opens when I click/hold the ok/cross in the corner.

All that clicking and sliding is too much for me.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I am working on configuration, you can set the X button behavior = "simple - just like what you want :D" and "Enhanced - just like current BETA-1", you can also manage the exception list, Showcase Running Mode (background/exit on close), and other useful config...

The configuration tools will also in another process, so you use the ram only when you run the configurator...

Just give me some time to create it :D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Thanks for this. I'll be cooking it into my public ROM. Credit will be given, of course. (:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccione:
Amarullz, you're a genius.

I really like this task manager.

With HTC Xbutton first 52 MB of free RAM, now more than 57!!!

I look forward to the final version!

You are a great man! Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
I also really love this concept !! :eek:

nicely done dude :cool:

I'm also looking forward to the final version and a way to easily fully replace the HTC task manager :D

no volume adjustment

hi

on my diamond WM6.1 OS 21055 (Build 21055.1.6.4) I installed Version 1.0.1b, and while I did not change in call volume from the speaker.

solutions?

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barbapappa_86:
Hi,

first of. Awesome work! :) I´m trying to cook in the Showcase with the positionfix. I´m on ervius kitchen and build 23064. The cab works just fine, but not the OEM. Why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] @antonio@:
possible that there is no solution for this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Actually I have no idea what problem you are reporting:

Makes no sense to me, try wording your problem a different way, perhaps describe what you are doing to see the problem. What, When, How?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] @antonio@:
Sorry for my english;) use the google translator.

the problem that presents itself on the diamond mine is this:

when it is active showcase can not adjust the volume when in call.

If you disable showcase volume adjustment works.

but if I want to adjust the system volume is okay.

I hope you understand

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FurY2007:
It would be great if this app was updated to be used with 6.5.1 ROMs without issue. There's some bugs still and it would be better if its footprint would be less .. but it is a great app and frankly speaking even with the bugs it is the best I could find!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emilio666:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rayman18:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
Has anybody tried the e-Natives showcase with build 23071? Is it still causing the system to freeze up and crash?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I absolutely agree. Build 23071 is in my view perfect. So much so that I have decided to keep this build and stop creating new version of my bare rom. This is a keeper for me, and I have begun the process of re-installing all of my 100 or so programs, configuring them, etc.

So please, could you update showcase to get rid of the bugs reported earlier (freezing of the phone, strange behavior of outlook, etc.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slow88lx:
I have just switched to 23071 and am experiencing 6.5.1 for the first time. I must say I will not go back and this build is ROCK SOLID as far as I can tell. Showcase is that missing piece, I hope we get an update for this build.

Using makeveral's latest ROM and report the same freezing issues :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
yep same here actually got freeze issues since 6.5.1C... and it's even worst since version D...

When pressing start button... the top curtain opens up.

Please fixe this cause there are no taskmgr as handy as yours !

regards and thanx for great app ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PCPhil:
After installing task manager don't reboot.

Go to Windows/startup folder and delete the task manager entry.

Task manager can then be used buy assigning a hardware key or just tapping.

Of course you lose the functionality that it had with the windows icon but you can use it before a fix arrives.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
thanx for that ... actually it's quite pointless if you can't have it running in background... I'll use taskmgr in that case... I'll be good when there will be a new release of showcase ... anyways... BSB D has so much free ram... I don't mind if they keep running in background ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alienao:
Until a new release of suitecase (eagerly waiting for it...), maybe your freezes are related to running ram sweeper/clean RAM. You have to include SuitecaseSuite.exe or Suitecase_X.exe in the exceptions list of any of those...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Montecristo:
For me works fine...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
Don't you have issues when closing Messaging ?

For me it's unsuable on Makeveral BsB 6.5.1 D (23075)

Me too. Never have issues with it. :)

The 1.1.0 is wrong for me. It create ~10 px high line bottom of the Manila 2.5. And sometimes it kill the Manila 2.5. I uninstall the Showcase. :(

The older "X" 1.0.x works fine, but if I link it to any key, the start/pop up of the Showcase window is very very slow.

I can't use it on my HTC Touch Pro2 (AF 6.5 ROM w/ Sense). I'm sorry...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pencilcase:
working fine on 23075 for me, at least with titanium. manila(htc sense) does not boot after installing this. i really love this app :)

Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldnt find any definitive answer: Will Showcase Suite 1.1.0 work in 6.1 running stock ROM and Manila 2.0?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dijor69:
Hello, first of all give you thanks for your dedication.

I was wondering if by SWOC suite 1.1.0 can fix WM6.5.1 position in htc menu enhancement , and if so, how?

thanks for this awesome app amarullz! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyberdyne:
I use a WM6.5 build 23081 ROM and this program works great! Thank you!

But I found one program which could not be closed. It's the HTC SIM-Manager. I tried v6.71 and an older version (6.?). Pressing "X" does nothing. I can tap and hold "X" to minimize or tap and hold the "Start-Button" to bring up ShowCase where I can close SIM-Manager (SIM_MGR.exe). Any other program can be closed by tapping the "X".

Will there be a fix for this "problem" or why is it not possible to close the HTC SIM-Manager?

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blaster00:
Great program. But frozen after closing messaging very often. Looking forward to a fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
Love it...

Amarullz, I have not had the fortune (or misfortune?) of "upgrading" to WinMo6.5, I am still using 6.1 . But I just wanted to shout a "Thank You" to you in here! I've been using Showcase_X 1.01b for 2mo. now, and it is FLAWLESS. I can't imagine NOT having it. ;)

I do not have bank acct or debit card, so no way to make online payments/donations, But just wanted to say, 'if there is an app worth paying for, this is definitely one! Anyhow, a big, big THANKS to you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaBountyHunter:
Went to try this out but seems to be causing problems with Sense 2.5 on Dutty's R0 Topaz. Manilla becomes misaligned after a soft reset than start getting graphical issues had to remove otherwise phone becomes dodgy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
You should know which version compatible for your phone.

* WM6.1 & Old WM6.5 (down from 23017-COM3, or COM2 218xx) use Showcase 1.0.1b. This version have old size of top bar & softkeys (on 192dpi [VGA/WVGA] is 52px)

* New WM6.5.x (up to COM3 2303x+ or COM4 234xx and COM5 235xx) use Showcase Suite 1.1.0. This version have different size of top bar & softkeys (top bar was smaller than softkeys)

Also if you use custom rom with the newer build+manila, you should check the \Windows\StartUp folder, if there is PositionFix shortcut then delete it, reboot and install the showcase suite.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheRem:
is there a cab or OEM file for just the QVGA PositionFix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaBountyHunter:
Thanks trying 1.0.1b now... my only issue is I can't seem to get holding down the windows key to launch the app on my Topaz... I haven't changed the REG key for task manager it's left as blank but should I need to edit this to get Showcase to launch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
hi,

any updates on WM6.5.1 freezing problem with messaging ?

Using BSB 6.5.1E and really wish it would work normally !

I'm sorry to pressure you but if you manage to fixe that annoying issue you will be the only working finger friendly task manager for the new WM...

please ?! ;)

Hello, I installed it on HTC P3600 with windows mobile 5.0 (original latest rom from HTC).

But it doesn't work. It ask me for digital certs.

I already installed sdkcerts.cab since sometimes solve the problem, but not this time.

Was WM5 not supported?

My volume Icon does not display. Shows Windows Logo in White ????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Are you in the right thread? This app should have nothing to do with volume. It is a taskmanager. :confused:

Amarulz, are you going to be updating the software to fix the freezing issues? I had to resort to other means because it froze every time I view email. Sure you are busy, just checking.

Showcase for PNA WinCE 5.0

Has anyone tried it on WinCE 5.0? I was able to extract the cab and create reg key however it's not working. Have tried with various coredll.dll and aygshell.dll but no joy. Any idea to make it run on WinCE 5.0?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emresumengen:
Actually I think showcase does have something to do with volume controls, as it captures them on dialer screen and convert into UP-DOWN arrow action. But this have a negative side effect: You can't change volume during a call :(

It would be awesome if we had an option to turn that feature on or off.

(I'm using Showcase 1.0.1 by the way)

Reading the forum posts, I see there is a fix for that, explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4189469&postcount=440

about SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses

i think i'm doing something wrong...

when i added #NETCF_AGL_BASE_, it only chooses ONE not ALL that uses that window.

this is my SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses... is there something wrong with it, should there be only one instance of #NETCF_AGL_BASE_?

Viigo and Bobble both uses #NETCF_AGL_BASE_ but only ONE of them got the position fixed... in my case, Bobble is the one that is fixed.

I can't try the program yet until my hd2 arrives, but, have this program an option to put an icon when a program is open to launch this and dont need to tap and hold a button to launch?

For example a button next to the OK of the programs to launch directly this or if is not possible, try to asign a key to the program without need to hold it?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] erdoke:
Showcase does not work properly on the HD2. You can't scroll to buttons to the left, only the one in the right corner can be tapped. It is probably an issue with handling the capacitive screen, because operating through PC by Pocket Controller is OK. It is really strange, because I have no similar experience with other applications.

TaskManager Cab

Hello,

is there any download available for the original TaskManager from Win6.51 ?

My rom has showcase and I want to rather use the orig. TM.

I searched but could not find it.

Thanks

PS

I tried the registry enable taskmanager, but did not work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zengyee:
Great App! Cool
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Awesome application, thanks! I think it will be a great replacement for the HTC Task Manager here.

Since you've asked for suggestions, here's one from me:

At some point, WM lost a feature - the Most Recently Used programs list. It was in the old style Start Menu which I don't miss for a second, but with it the very useful feature is gone. If an application like Showcase could have it, I'd be completely happy. It should be fairly easy to implement, the list is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch registry key, all you need is enumerate the values from this key (easy) and get the icons and application names (don't know how to do it, but it also should be possible).

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devmanya:
Good point, good idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sansnil:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vanzelvoul:
Guys I have just bought my HD2!!

Which version should i use? 1.1.0 or 1.0.1b?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TAEL:
If you want to close programs by X button, use 1.1.0 .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vanzelvoul:
yep i installed 1.1.0 but programs dont close just by clicking x! any registry tweaks needed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
The HD2 ships with a COM2 (218XX, 6.5) ROM build, which means you need to use version 1.0.1b, because your ROM has the Start Menu at the top, not the bottom, which is what version 1.1.0 for 6.5.1 builds controls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SOHKis:
did you soft-reset after installation..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TAEL:
You should tap and hold X button to close programs. (just tap, minimizes them).

Or, change this registry entry from 0 to 1 for close programs just by tap.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]
"SUITE_CloseOnTap"=dword:00000001
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TAEL:
Oh, sure! I though he's using latest WM6.5.1 like everyone :D .

He can use HTC Task Manager also, It works fine on COM2 builds.

Thanks for notice captain.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finsmaniac02:
To add to this; Most people have problems with 1.1.0 freezing their phones a lot (on 6.5.1 builds). Maybe this will not be an issue with an HD2 (lucky Beestard lol).

I personally still use 1.0.1b even on 6.5.1 builds and just have the x in the top right (hidden via settings option) there for me to surely close stuff and open showcase.

But, as Cap'n has said... your device shipped shipped with a com2 build and you would want 1.0.1b regardless
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jlavoie:
i have found the freezing on 6.5.1 roms is because of showcase task manager not the showcase suite (close and start button). i change the action for hold start to run a different task manager and never launch showcase task manager. i do not have any freezes and can even use the hold X (can be changed to tap) to close messaging.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blaster00:
I don't think so. I delete the showcase.exe, it still freezing.

Question

This is a great app - working well so far on my Topaz running 6.5.1

Only issue - I tired adding TCPMP_Win to the list to fix the screen size to allow the bottom control bar to show.

What happened is it shows on full screen (which it should not) and does not show when the controls are displayed (which it should).

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omnicronx:
The position fix for WM 6.5.* was part of showcase suite, disabling it also disables the position fix. You can download the standalone position fix app (probably an easy search on xda)

If it is ok with Amarullz, I cabbed up the older version that I have since ShowcaseSuite needs some fixes before I can use it daily(but I dont want to pull him from the Manila 2.5 port :D ). Amarullz, if you want me to remove this just let me know. Thanks for your work.

Noted a bug in Showcase:

When tap&hold the Win Start soft-button the application starts well. after closing it the Win start button remain in pressed condition. So if you tap it nothing happen - it is not opening the start programs page. However the start button is returning to unpressed condition. If you tap it once again start programs page is opening already.

Sometimes Win Start button works from first tap, sometimes from second. This looks rather inconvenient.
