Yes, I soft reset and now it is not doing it. There must be something else that is triggering this bug I'm seeing with the double lock. Funny thing is disabling the X enhancement seemed to fix it at the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
Thanks for the suggestions, but the problems I experienced while using e-Natives Showcase 1.0.1b caused me to look around for an alternative, and that is when I discovered that Microsoft replaced the task manager with one that is VERY finger friendly, and provides more information than e-Natives. Therefore I honestly don't see the value added that e-Natives provides me (even if it worked properly) vs. the native task manager of later (23034) builds of WM 6.5; in fact e-Natives provides less information and therefore it would seem to be a step back for me.

Am I missing the point? Is there some functionality of e-Natives that is not available with the Microsoft Task Manager, which would be the reason to really want to use e-Natives. Please let me know, perhaps I missed it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Well, I've been using the X Enhancement to actually close apps because the X button in WM 6.5 just minimises, the HTC task manager addin doesn't work anymore and I don't want to wait for a task manager app to load just to close something. Not saying u shouldn't use the MS task manager or anything, of course.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hamidxa:
Wow this thing is both slick and super fast.

Tested 2 touch Pro's, one with the HTC task manager and the other with Showcase.

Showcase would shut (X) down apps almost twice as fast, plus it's much more finger friendly than the default HTC one.

Also, running a 23016 build of WM 6.5, so no conflicts there.

Excellent app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
Thanks. That's a good point, but that feature doesn't work for me (as discussed before); so that is why I don't see any benefits of showcase vs. the regular task manager (not the HTC task manager, the Windows 6.5 task manager).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santoya:
doesn't work anymore

BEST TASK MANAGER EVER!

it works well on my Kaiser and on my brother's Omnia ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clausg:
Congrats

I must agree, this taskmanager really rocks and works almost always flawlessly. Very nicely designed. One of the best applications out there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DatDereX1:
nice program. takes too long to start though. 5-10 secs on xperia x1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chalid:
<1 sec on my X1 ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
just noticed something weird. ive tried opening multiple apps and i definitely dont have xbutton set to close them. but, once i run enative, the other apps shutdown and only the last app i was just in from shows running in the task manager. or is it just me:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Showcase "NOT" disturbing or change any system or other application behaviour and settings. Showcase not even touch any registry.

Showcase only use default "EnumWindows" for enumerating window.

may be you need to wait for next version which support excluding applications..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
yep, ur right. i switched to just the regular task mgr and noticed the same thing. wonder whats causing it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] criminalogic:
How can I map this to tha top task bar?

kinda pointless going into programs just to run this.. don't have a key to map it to....

Overall grate app tho, I really like it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louie1215:
Working great on my Diamond. Change skin to match my theme.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoyBawang2:
Works as described in my Samsung i780. This is the task switcher i've been looking for. But there is a minor glitch but not serious. It seems there's a very slight delay before running the desired application. Infact the background app go visible for few milliseconds before desired app covers it. Other switchers I know launches the desired app immediately. But this is still currently the best task switcher so i can't complain much

thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] duhhh:
instal, but don't work on Qtek 9100 wm6.5 :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccione:
I agree!

For now i've put the link of this great app in START, but I would be happier if we could overwrite HTC x button. :rolleyes:

Anyway, works perfect on Diamond.

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgduris:
Nice App! But way too slow on my Fuze. Sometimes it jumps right up (I've linked it to the PTT button). Sometimes it takes over 10 seconds. I wonder if it is measuring memory in that time and waiting for another process to complete. I don't care about the memory bit. I replaced ISS Task Switcher with this because it is finger friendly and beautiful to look at. I just wish it was faster.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] forumx:
Nice app! I really enjoy your program but have some suggestions:

I map the app to a button and when the app is launched, I would prefer to keep pressing the button to switch between the running app. This way, it save me the hassle of having to move my finger from the button to the screen.

Also it would be nice to have a timeout feature if one accidentally launched the app, it will automatically go back to the original screen if no action is taken.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] branedge:
great app...works great on my tilt. anyway of hiding apps that will always be running like ActiveSync

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NRGZ28:
Amarullz.... If you could make it display an icon in the top right corner like the default htc task manager does, we could finally replace the hTC one with something worthwhile !! Please consider it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Yeah, I too have the same request. :)

I have found a minor problem, not sure if anyone has reported this before.

Close all button isn't working. I mean showcase closes but others will be still running. :confused:

I think it closes itself before attempting to close others. It should be hold'ed until all others are closed. However, I'm low knowledge in programming. :)

BTW; Is it possible to add exclude list? which should not be showed in list?

Thanks for the great app.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Yes... In Progress :D:D

I will check it again in different devices, thanks for your report.

about exclude, yes, will available in next release, but you need to change the registry manually... I will create the settings program latter...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Ok, thanks.

Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it closes itself but other apps will be still running. :confused:

Yes, just as htc task manager which we will place exclude exe's on registry. That would be great. :)

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulojdaniel:
Thanks. It's works great on my prophet (s200).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] svem:
Hello, amarullz.

Your program work good on Qtek s110 (WM6 from Cutula), but can you do this modifications, please:

1) Place button "Close All" under "Close buttons"

2) Do acknowledgement of closing of whole list of programs

3) Do the small arrows or other indicators overhand and from below list if list is not contained on screen and there is possibility its roll..

4) In Memory button show remained memory

5) Through long pressing to button "Memory" switch image with percent on MB (round value) (Or press - switch to Mb, long press - open Memory page)

| | | | | | |

10%

| | | | | | |

| | | | | | |

5.1 Mb

| | | | | | |

Forgive for my terrible english :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
1. You mean change into home button position?

2. :D ok... i don't understand :D

3. I'll try

4/5. That was great idea :eek:, (short tap: Avail % - Avail MB - Used % - Used MB)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] newone757:
Im running showcase on Sprint touch Pro (JD's 23041 rom) perfectly.

Only "gripe" i have is of course the clock and taskbar icon now overlap, so i need help on how to edit the taskbar icon for it (i want to make it transparent/blank). If anyone could actually do this for me i'd be REALLY appreciative.!!

was skeptacle at first but this is a GREAT finger friendly and easy task manager, makes HTc task manager look pretty bad. thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
uhh.. go to showcase settings and check hide homescreen icon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vua777:
work great with touch hd wm6.5, super gui touch friendly

thanks, bookmarked
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
After reloading my 23037 ROM I decided to follow your advise. Not so much because I need a task manager replacement (particularly since I find the Windows Mobile 6.5 task manager to be quite good), but because I hate the fact that the 'X' in windows mobile 6.5 only minimizes the application and doesn't close it.

So, this timee-Natives showcase worked. I guess something was wrong with my previous build; and that caused the problem. The only problem that I am still facing is that the minimize choice on Showcase doesn't do anything at all. The other two buttons on the "Top X Enhancement" bar (the one that opens up showcase and the one that closes applications) work OK.

Is it a known fact that the minimize button doesn't work on new build of WM 6.5 or is the problem only evident in my system?

Before I get people complaining that this issue was already discussed (bla, bla, bla), last time I mentioned a problem about Showcase people said that it was known that the whole bar didn't work. That is clearly not the case. So that is why I am asking for clarification on this particular button (the minimize button).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, minimize doesn't work; but you can use the Windows X button for that :rolleyes:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] newone757:
lmao wow. forgive me, i thought that option would disable the homescreen icon (like you can with htc task manager) lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] konrad.schafers:
It looks like there are now significant problems with the latest 'testbuild' maybe you could provide a new cab and update the thread title?

That would be great cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
OK so e-Natives Showcase works on my WM 6.5 23409 build (except for the minimize function on the top bar).

However has anybody been able to get the e-Natives showplace application to work with their finger?

For me it only works if I use the stylus on my Kaiser. I can't get it to open up if I use my finger, not even if I try to use my nail.

Given that Microsoft is moving towards a finger friendly environment, and this application IS finger friendly in its interface; perhaps somebody could share a tip on how to launch this application from the tasskbar (top bar) with a finger.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fards:
yeah it works fine for me with a finger on my HD in 23409
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
I have no issues using it with my finger. I'm running build 23409.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yamato-san:
Great application! I have only a minor problem, more aesthetic than functional: for some reason, Pocket Word, when a word file is opened, shown in Showcase twice. Same with Pocket Excel ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
So how do you launch e-natives with your finger under 23409?

Can you check if you have the same options selected in settings as I do? I have the following:

Stop X Enhancement - Status RUN.

Close Button on Right - Selected

Small Tap Area - NOT selected

Hide Homescreen Icon - Selected
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmur:
I don't know what you are doing, however it runs perfectly on my TP with 23409 using the exact same settings. I would suggest a hard reset and try again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimmur:
No problem on my TP only one instance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I found the source of the problem....my fingers! They are too thick. e-Natives Showcase uses a trigger area that is very narrow (just like the taskbar itself). Therefore people with thick fingers will have to either wait until e-Natives comes up with a version of showcase that is friendly for all people, even those of us with thick fingers; OR you can use a workaround that I found with a lot of practice.

Basically you can trigger e-natives Showcase by using your pinky finger (little finger) when you select the top right hand corner of the screen); or if you insist in using your thumb there is two ways to get it to work.

- You have to put your thump really straight (90 degrees) and use the tip of it only.

- You can use the thumb facing downwards (iow where the nail faces the screen, while the rest of the thumb touches the ATT logo (or the HTC logo); and select the top right hand corner that way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
hi dude !:D

Any updates or even ETA for the new version ? :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fards:
nah you just need a proper sized screen :p

there's a reason I have a HD and an advantage.. bass players fingers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Just wait for some weeks :D .. I already use new WM Build for daily use ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
oki doki ! :cool:

Let's wait & See :D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] simbadogg:
here's a request i have for the program. so far i love it, and have been using it for a few weeks now, but one of my biggest annoyances is the showcase settings no saving any of the changes you make. for example, when i click "stop the X enhancement" it automatically resumes again when restarting the device, and i have to go into the settings everytime and stop it. this is a big problem for me on my fuze because i have noticed that i can click the notification bar w/out the X enhancement popping up. Even though the notification area is nowhere near the X button. even when i was trying to hit the Windows icon (upper left) it was still bringing up the x enhancement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zoltair Wright:
Devious use of x-button enhancement...

I really love this program, but Showcase took almost forever to show up after hitting the taskbar on the home screen. I wanted to keep the x-button enhancement but replace Showcase. I did something tricky: I replaced Showcase with another program! Turns out you can use VJBrisk to replace Showcase.exe and you can run pretty much any program you like. I have it running MortButtons' task list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mysterd:
Concerning the delay in showcase showing up, maybe there's a conflict with another application.

I have the problem when using ageye G-Profile for example. When I disable it, showcase (and other task managers) just show up instantly.

Showcase is a really fast piece of software on my diamond...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Could I also request for a future version that you can select to see processes as well as running applications? I still have to use DotFred Taskmanager to close a lot of stuff that does not show on showcase. Hopefully the next version can go more in depth. Showcase is great, but it doesnt show a lot of stuff that really should show in order to be a full fledged taskmanager. Thanks for all your hard work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I think this is a great idea, which I hope the developer of showcase will take into consideration. Howe about making showcase a true task manager replacement; so we don't have to have two different software packages installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kasush:
This has been asked several times and so far it has not been added so I assume he is not really interested in adding processes. In addition I would point out that this is a "task switcher" not a task manager as stated in the thread title. For me the only thing I could request is to improve the response time. With many different pieces of software running there exists a situation where showcase responds more slowly. Not sure if it is a memory issue or what, but that is the only shortcoming I find. I use showcase for my switching and if I need to kill a proc then I open dotfreds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
installation drive?

I really want to try this. Have read whole thread (even that nasty bit ;b )I hate to install anything to precious device storage on diamond. I have installed most all programs to internal storage (even phm reged etc). Csn I install this to Internal Storage, or must it go to limited device storage memory?

p.s. amrullz thank you much for all your amazing effort.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
conflicts with changescreen...

ok, I never got any response about installing to internal storage or device storage, so I tried intetnal storage. Showcase conflicts with changeScreen (by 600GOL @ xda). Interestong because changeScreen also interferes with dotFreds, ALSO, (I've read) g-profile interferes with dotFreds and this. A lot of pieces to fit together and find common cause...?

Anyhow, I'm trying to uninstall this so I can try to reinnstall to device storage and see if interference continues... but I can't UNINSTALL. I go to settings/system/remove programs and highlight to uninstall, but after 5 seconds it just hangs and I have to soft reset.

Anyone got any ideas...please?

Thanks

Excuse me how i activate it, how can i put a icon in the wm6.5 bar?

Thank you so much! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nikec:
One question. Is there any taskmanager that supports the new X layout in WM 6.5.1 ? By that I mean if I press the X button it closes the app.

Thanks for your answers.

uninstsall!!!?,?

Let me start with, This is an awesome beautiful program- but it is forcing me to choose between this and my other #1 program (changeScreen by 600gol auto screen rotate app)

I've been so impressed by the smount of assistanceand effort, but I'm sure hoping someone will respond to my posts. (Don't worry about 6.5 right now- it's NOT EVEN RELEASED!)

Anyhow, Noone has replied eith suggestions to uninstall

It's a beautiful and needed program, but i wish I could get some help to uninstall it.

I've seen kind of a workaround. if my auto-rotate is disabled, showcase works flawlessly and beautiful.

Amsrullz, if youre willing to look into this, here's info. If changeScreen is enabled showcase does not open at all after clicking icon. If I click icon, nothing happens until I rotate my phone 90°. Then showcase opens but IN PORTRAIT on left side of screen and eliminates bottom icons of showcase. If i click icon, showcase doesnt open UNTIL I ROTATE, like showcase & changeScreen were competing. Please take a look, and why cant i uninstall?! anybody?!

Try to stop X Enhancement in Showcase Settings before you unistall it.

About change screen/orientation it has been fixed with test file [ DOWNLOAD HEDE ], replace Showcase.exe and Showcase_X.exe to install dir.

Tried to install Showcase on Dutty´s R12 Revised.

After installation, Showcase works normal. But after Softreset, it´s not possible to open showcase anymore, and the X-Enhancemant doesn´t work too.

U can open Showcase Settings an Stop X.., but this doens´t change anything.

Tested with version 1.0.1b...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
to no avail...

Amarullz, I tried the exe files you pointed me to. Still didn't work if my auto-rotate program (changeScreen) was enabled. I dragged the 2 existing exe files out of directory, then extracted the new ones ro existing/old directory, even tried several soft-resets. Strangely, they seemed less responsive than the first ones I had -- it woulsn''t even open WRONG after a rotate. I tried using the ''exceptions'' list on both programs.

Maybe this will not be fixable??

((FWIW, I been choosing to disable changeScreen cuz I like your program so much -- I just hate to have to choose between THESE two))

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gambit727:
I just wanted to confirm that the solution posted to fix the volume control works for the physical volume button on the phone and not just the on-screen speaker icon in the top Window bar.

When I saw the solution to enable the Small Tap Area it sounded like this would only fix the problem when tapping the on-screen speaker icon so I did not try it right away, but it does indeed fix the problem for the actual physical phone volume slider/button as well. I'm not sure if this was made clear in the earlier posts.

Open "Programs" > "Showcase Settings".

Check the "Small Tap Area" checkbox.

I also soft-reset, although I don't know if this is required.

Thanks for a very useful app!

Currently I am on coding the new Task Switcher for WM6.5.x BUILD 23049+ ( addicted to the new WM :D ).

It will have new name "e-Natives Suite" with goals: new idea, new concept, easier to use, faster, good looking, resource friendly and New WM Compatibility. :D

And sorry for old BUILD, I will pending any Showcase development until I finished my new project :D, because I only had 1 device, 2 Hands, and 1 Brain :D :D :D.

(There is some new fix for showcase but not too significant so don't know when I will share it for you, many fix was also for new WM build compatibility, so It useless to share it into old WM Build :P )

Sounds good :) I was just thinking about a feature suggestion. Would it be cool to have long press on an item(probably a bit long to avoid mistakes like 2000ms) to add to the item to the exception list?
