this is what i have been looking for for days!

thanks mate
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] amm009uk:
Thankyou!

Something so obvious and MS still forget it - thankyou for making it so.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KukurikU:
thanks! i was really missing it. a good task manager really make life easier!:)

on my HD2 the only sign it's existence is a small dot in the right corner. love it. and it works! almost no delay at opening!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bossihab:
hey

can you provide a QVGA task manager ???

thanks by advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dirtytwo:
thanks M8. will give this a try .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I didn't create the taskmanager. It is just a little modification of an existing taskmanager that was extracted from the Xperia X2 rom. Maybey someone has modified it already for QVGA screens?

Good luck searching
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
If you are running a stock rom, or any other rom with Windows Mobile 6.5 installed you can also use the standard X2 taskmanger. Look for it here This one is for windows mobile 6.5.3 (with the startbutton and ok/x buttons at the bottom of the screen).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
appelflap, I already have one version which is working for me, and it has nicer UI(at least for me), bet I need help with hiding the icon of the task manager which is covering the clock.

Do u think its possble to hide the icon by some registry tweak?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
You mean this version?

View attachment 265334View attachment 265335

If you want I can look up the registry changes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
Yep, thats the one. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ab4nk:
tried on diamond2

Have any one tried om diamond2 with clean ram 1.9.3 ? After using it and apply clean ram, when clean ram finished it's job, unable to open task mgr by tapping on the right corner, it's seem lack or something.. :(, setting up the clean ram config by including task mgr on the exception list, still no effect...

any one could help please... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zaharakis:
thanks for sharing mate ;)

nice work,it'll help a lot of people:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] P-A-L-A-D-I-N:
The taskmanager v2 works fine under HTC HD2 1.48, but unfortunately the icon cannot be seen. There is just a black gap with a little white spot - nut no icon. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gabbs:
thanks mate..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
Its mainly because this is a version for 6.5.3 roms that have clock in the right corner. There are other versions with icons, just use the search button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] P-A-L-A-D-I-N:
There are versions with a clock that have a clock in the right corner...? :) Ok, I see. I wanted to use only this version because it has this little picture of the Leo while others just have a simplified smarthphone icon. Ok, I have to commit that this is a bit girlish in some ways but I wanted the tasmanager to fit the phone - the same as women want their handbags fit to their shoes. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
U can try this version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] P-A-L-A-D-I-N:
That is exactly what I have been looking for and works perfectly - thank you very much!! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nalab1:
Will this work on a stock WinMo release for Leo - 21869.5.0.82?

Regards,

Alan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I've added a link to a version that will run on the Windows Mobile Stock version to the first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
The thanks should go to someone else, but I cant remember from where I got the cab, just to let you know that its not my work. But thanks. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tribianni:
good tools,I like it.fit for core 28205.thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Guys, is there still no way to add exclusions for this X2 task manager?

What a pity.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
u have to edit the registry
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yes, we can :)

Pick up a registry-editor and go to:

HKCU\Software\SonyEricsson\TaskManagerQuickWindow\ProcessFilter\System

and add a DWORD slot with the name of the executable you want to exclude and set the value to 0 (default)

The added program will not close when you tap-and-hold the clock and it will not show up in the running programs list.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Well, I even don't have to edit it, I have to add keys, which no one knows what they must be :)

There is nothing in the registry mentioning this task manager ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Wow! That was fast! :) Thanks a lot!

However, I had to remove this TM, as it definitely doesn't play nice with HTC Notifications Manager :(

PS: I am on a 6.5 ROM (Topix).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Did you download the one Mikulec was pointing to (see also first post). If so, let me know, so I will addapt that one also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Dmitry, try this one and let me know if it works for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
The only difference between the two versions (yours and the one that I posted) is the yours dont have a icon in the top right corner. The one that I posted worked fine for me on 6.5 roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
+ i've added this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\TaskManager]

BTW The disappearance of the icon at the top-right is done by setting "TaskbarIconBottomIndent" in the SonyEricsson\Options key to 50.

:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Yes, the one Mikulec posted. I will try the updated one now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
BTW. I didnt know that by holding the top right corner u can close apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Nope. Tapping the volume icon shows HTC Volume Control. Tapping one of the other 2 icons (connections) shows the standard WM bubble.

PS: Before I tried this X2 task manager, I had the HTC one installed (build 1920.3822), if it matters.

And of course, I SR after each uninstallation and installation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I will check it the next time I make a stop at a stock rom before I flash a custom rom.

But do I understand you right? You don't tap on the rightmost icon? If I remember well, there is a little icon in the form of a raster in the upper right corner of the homescreen (sense).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nalab1:
Cheers! Will try it and see what it is like!

Alan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
Well, sometimes I DO tap on that icon :) Only when I need to see the drop down task list.

But if I tap on the taskbar (or the other icons, if one can differ taps on icons and the space between them :))) , HTC Notifications Manager is not shown.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
I can confirm that, I flashed stock 1.61 rom and the notif. man. is disabled.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Always tap the top-rightmost icon, never tap on the others :)

But ok, the modified version disabled the HTC Notification window. No thanks, did it with pleasure :) But then the first version, the one of Mikulec must work for you, or? I have to admit, tapping on the X2 icon requires some practice. You have to get the hang of it. (For example under WM 6.5.3 it refuses to show up when you want to activate it quickly again right after you have closed it. Probably because manily is reactivated)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
BTW how is this version working out on the WM 6.5.0 platform? I think this one must work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
No, thanks, I quit :) I'll stick to the HTC one for a while...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] :
It works like a charme. Thanks very much. Just want to know how to map the return button to this app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mpis:
Hi appelflap,

Taskmanager is very nice in WM6.5.3. Thank.

But i have small problem with him.

Shall I running for axample five programs. When be in today, taskmanager works well. But when is any program up, so taskmanager nondisplay up and I cannot switch between running programs.

There has been some solving?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That's part of the normal functionality of this taskmanager though. I have to agree that this is a big shortcomming. It would be nicer to have this kind of functionality:

tap: show list with running programs

tap-and-hold: close app.

I don't know why they designed it that way in the first place. The HTC taskmanager has the same shortcomming on the 6.5 and lower platform.

I suspect that it is a legacy problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Not in a standard way, as far as I know. The manager is only activated by screen-tap events. Maybe there's a way to build a script with for example mortscript and map that script to a button?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nalab1:
Tried the 6.5.1 version for stock cabs and it works like a charm! Thank-you!

Regards,

Alan
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
This is the reason I didn't give this taskmanager a second look (I even removed the ROM that uses it).

SPB Pocketplus works way better in that respect (although less finger friendly).

Hope they fix this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I agree that the "close button enhancement of PocketPlus is (qua functionality) way better then the X2 taskmanager or the HTC taskmanager. But besides that it hates fat fingers though, it doesn't run on the bottom-button WM. So unfortunately it isn't really an option.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mayen:
Thanks!!!

Works great with

NhatHoa Rom Version 6.5.3.11.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] barbapappa_86:
Anyone able to skin it? I dont like the blueish color. Would be neat if it was more HTCish :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gianton:
The blue changes accordingly to what theme you are using. It will change to green, black etc. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
The color is depending on the theme you've installed. Try the HTC Black theme for a more "quietly brilliant" color.

EDIT: the question is already answered :) thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
I am experiencing a weird funny thing. I have installed secondtoday app(for switching to today agenda[tasks manager]) and if secondtoday is running in the backgroud and I hit the top right button to show the running apps, the X2 task manager is showing "please wait..." instead of showing the running apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I've seen that "please wait..." message when an app. was claiming to much processor-time.

BTW Mikulec, I've removed the link to the other x2 manager, because with that version two dll's are installed which are already part of the core system. (i.e. NotificationManager.dll and NotificationManager.dll.0410.mui.) That can't be good :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
No problem mate, as I said before, it was not my cabaj, I was just sharing it.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gridfire:
How much will this slow down

in other words is there a significant ram usage?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Ram usage as reported by DevHealth:

Process: TaskManagerQuickWindow.exe Heaps: 1

Heap: 0x2e050000 Size: 90016 Alloc: 75520

375 block(s) address: 0x2e050060 - 0x2e065fff

Total for: TaskManagerQuickWindow.exe Size: 90016 Alloc: 75520

Resident in Ram it uses only 90 kb. That would be almost neglectable I say.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sternas:
Thanks for your work, Sir
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Appearently, much users are in search for a taskmanager for WM 6.5.1 and above.

Although I love the X2 taskmanager it misses some functionality that I like to see in a taskmanager, namely to have a list of running programs at your disposal from within an active application. Fortunately, a xda-developer has developed a new taskmanager for WM 6.5.x (x <> 0) which has precisely this functionality. It has a finger friendly layout like showcase and can be assigned to a hardware button. It is currently a beta app, but it looks like it is very stable.

Look for it here:

ArkSwitch - easy task manager specifically for WM6.5.x

I currently use it together with the X2 taskmanager because ArkSwitch hasn't (yet) the functionality to close an app directly and to close all apps at once.

Just thought it was worthwhile to share it in this thread
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mamv:
Arkswitch is amazing, really fingerfriendly.

I'm not able to use the X2 taskmanager you posted, it's not working for me on Miri 1.1 v1.2 and on Freyberry v5.3.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Well, I recently discovered a mysterious ad-hoc problem with the installation of the cab files myself. Not that it is a severe problem, but it is puzzling me. Sometimes the registry isn't updated with the installation as it is supposed to be. That means that sometimes the installation will just plain fail, even though the necessary files are installed. I really don't know what is going on there :)

Not to worry though, it just means that sometimes the taskmanager will indeed not install. That's a pitty. Just uninstall it and everything is ok.

But if it installs correctly it works without any probs.

(Meanwhile, I will look into this)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mamv:
Tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and didn't help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
I am using presently Ameba and WM task manager which opens by holding of Windows Start button on left down corner. So how to open X2 TaskManager by holding of Start button? I really do not like to press the upper right corner which seems very inconvenient. So please advise how to integrate X2 TaskManager with Ameba?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I'm afraid that it isn't possible. But maybe you like this taskmanager. With that taskmanager it is possible to make an integration with Ameba.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matt_jackson:
Hey m8 !

Thx 4 release and ur n1 work !

It is a wonderfull and fingerfriendly work with ur app.

One question:

I use X2 TaskManager WM 6.5.0 LEO-stock.cab on my Leo and would be like edit ur 2 taskicons ;)

I look in ur TaskManagerGraphics.dll but found no icons in this file...

It is possible 2 edit this 2 icons matched with the rest of my taskbar icons?

MaTT

edit: I use a wrong dll editor. @ home I use a another editor and found the icons in TaskManagerGraphics.dll ;)

Thx!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yep, bitmaps 152 and 153. Maybe you can share your artistic modifications for the LEO stock WM version! If you don't mind, I will convert them then to WM 6.5.x.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matt_jackson:
kk

152 and 153 are these one:

but I search about this 2 up right icon in taskbar (arrow up, arrow down) look @ today screenpic
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matt_jackson:
Her this 3 icons are all the same but I dont find it.

I look the last hour all png, bmp, gif and *.dll´s but I dont find it :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] str0g:
Some improvements to x2 taskbar (pocketrar required).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bennec83:
Hey,

I have tryed both task managers, and i think the one you have made is much nicer graphically, but is there any way to get it to react to the same area as the new task manager?

thanks in advance

B83
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
It would really make me feel proud to be the developer of this lovely taskmanager. But i am not :o I only tweaked the registry a bit so that it could work on the WM 6.latest builds. (Then again, I had to do some research and a lot of soft-resets :-) to make it work, so I feel a little bit proud...)

The reason that I keep responding here is that I want to keep this thread alive so that in a joint effort we maybe can come-up with a ideal task-manager for WM 6.latest. That means that suggestions for other taskmanagers are also very welcome and suggestions for new functionality of this taskmanager.

I don't know what the outcome will be. Maybe it will lead to nothing....

And now an answer to your question: I don't know how to do that :) , but I plan to update my development skills in the near future, so maybe in the future I can drill this lovely taskmanager to do some amazing stuff. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That stinks :) I will also try a little search.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That's no good. Those registry-modifications restore the initial top-right icon settings, so you have basically the WM 6.5 taskmanager back again. Won't work for WM 6.latest

The Leo-stock version attached to the first posting has those settings as default.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] str0g:
strange it's my registery entries backup made after modding, I allready used it yesterday and it work with resco for sure.

-position fix.

-few apps removed from hidden list.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
For a powerful alternative look here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hanskl:
On my stock 1.48.409 NOR ROM the "X2 TaskManager WM 6.5.0 LEO-stock.cab" does not work... What do I have to do to make it work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That's strange. It worked on the 1.61 stock rom

Ok, not helping, but maybe you can do something with it. I have had some problems with registry updating on WM with different applications, including this one. What helped was to uninstall an application and to do a soft reset twice.

You can look under HKCU/Software/ . If there's no SonyEricsson key, you have the same problems I had.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hanskl:
Yeaah, I looked under HKCU/Software/ and there was no SonyEricsson entry.. Tried installing and softreseting several times too.. :p Just another 1.48 rom bug? Guess i'll just have to wait for a new official release
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DrBasem:
Thank you so much appelflap for this brilliant piece of application

and many sincere thanks for the WM 6.5.3 compatible version

I have a question though, doesn't this always-up application have a negative toll on the battery life?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks

I haven't seen any noticable battery drain while running this taskmanager. For all I know, it doesn't anything on the background. It is just hooked up to the taskbar and when a user tap on it's icon or hit-and-hold the clock it wakes up and does it's job.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zenkle:
Thanks for your great app mate!

it worked like a charm on 6.5.3.

However, now i updated to 6.5.5/stock 1.66, the task manager does not seem to work anymore.... sad.... wondering would you spare some time to update it....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] php-resource.de:
many thanks for WM 6.5.0 LEO-stock.cab.

Works 100% :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gianton:
Have you installed "X2 TaskManager WM 6.5.0 LEO-stock.cab"?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Using 6.5 Stock cab and it is working very well, have nice icon in the top right corner and notifications aren't broken.

Thanks very much for your hard work :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 1xinfusion:

rom: |JAN 24|Duttys H-Grail R7.2||Manila 2_5_19223829|WWE|FRA|GER|ITA|NLD|PTG|NOR|SVE|SPA|

installs fine

icon is there

click on icon shows task manager for 1 second

notification menu pops up
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Take a look in the registry-key HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services.

Can you find a registry-key called "Taskmanager" ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 1xinfusion:
inside HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services i see 4 folders and 1 file:

htcsensor -folder

htcusbtopcppopup -folder

navipanel -folder

quickgps -folder

(default) - file

:( no taskmanager key
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
There you go... That's a general WM bug. Take a look at the first post. I've made an update in blue.

What you can do is to uninstall the X2 taskmanger and sofreset your device two(!) times. Then try to install it again.

Please report back if this has worked for you (I like to know if this workaround is working for this bug)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 1xinfusion:
problem was:

notification menu keeps popping up after clicking on icon

i uninstalled and reset twice.

then i reinstalled and

icon correctly pops up task manager and other areas pop up the notification menu

success !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks for reporting! I will update the first post with this workaround. Now I can quietly leave this thread and leave it alone :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hanskl:
Finally i got it to work :D

Nevertheless, i have a request. Can you please make a second version with some simple icons where you choose between tasks and memory, like in the taskmanager in wm 6.1? Not images of some cellphone, just icons. I think that would be much more Aesthetically apropriate.

A second request would be if u we're able to implement the memory usage in percent in the tab you choose between the tasks.

Just my 2 cents on what would be the ultimate taskmanager.

Cheeers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
cent 1:

You can do that yourself. Download one of WM 6.5.3 taskmanagers you like, install them on your WM 6.5 system and change the value of following registry-slot

\HKCU\SonyEricsson\TaskManagerQuickWindow\Options\TaskbarIconBottomIndent

from 50 to 10.

(If i have some time i will add some extra flavors for both wm 6.5.3/5 and wm 6.5)

cent 2:

I think you have to contact SonyEricsson for that :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Mod, is it possible to move this thread to the leo app/themes forum?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hanskl:
Ahh crap, thanks for answer anyway.. But the value of the string u mentioned is 10 by default.. Changed to 50, just for fun, made a soft reset and noticed nothings changed. Took a look in the registry, and the key's been reverted back to 10.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
.... in the WM 6.5.3 versions (see first post) the value is set to 50. You can download the first version and then you have the icons you searched for. But in order to have the icon back in the top-right corner you have to change the registry the way I described it.

----

Mod, can you move this thread to the app/themes section of the HD2 fora?

Hi,

I have one ROM with 576Mb Hack in HD2, but this TaskManager only see 459Mb.

Its normal or need one change for view all memory?

(sorry for my bad inglish :( )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
that's pretty much :) I usually get between 456 and 458.

No that's normal. Not all RAM memory is reserved for program memory. Check out the screen shots from the first post. There you see what I did get back in the days of yore without the 576 Mb enabled. :D
