I've searched all night and installed and uninstalled nearly 1/2 dozen apps and can't find what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to find a simple task manager like switcherbar.exe on WM2003 or WM2005 for my Sprint HTC Touch Pro2. I don't want icons, fancy displays etc or a bunch of other unrelated features that consume memory or processor. I just want a simple clean tool that does the job as well as it did on my Dell Axim 50v WM2005. It should reside is a small icon in the task bar and display the running applications when I tap on it. I tap the app to change to it, or tap end app to close it.

Yes I know it's boring, but it's efficient, stable, and takes virtually no memory.

I've tried Magic Button, and pBar (the closest so far) but can't find anything that actually as simple and intuitive as the old switcher bar. I've even tried copying the file from my dell to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

wktask ... also try ae button plus and set a hard key to alt-tab
[General Topics] cmstackar:
On my blueangel i have the windows media player button set to launch the default task manager. Not pretty by any means, but it works well and is fairly fast after it is loaded into memory
[General Topics] djstern:
switcherbar.exe replacement.

wktask has an button for each running program and also changes the behavior of the X button. If I have more than a few programs running it obliterates the icons on my task bar blocking the icons there (signal strength, bluetooth etc). If I reduce the size of the buttons enough then their not finger friendly at all.

I'm trying to find a simple replacement that's a simple icon where I tap it to see the list of running programs with the option to close the active program or all programs like switcherbar.exe did. I don't want program launchers and I really don't want to remap my buttons. I like them the way they are. Actually my phone only allows me to remap my talk button anyhow.

If I could get switcherbar.exe to work on my Touch Pro2 I would be absolutely thrilled!

Maybe I named the topic of this thread wrong. I should have called it "Looking for a switcherbar.exe replacement".

I guess I'm looking for something too simple in a world where everyone like bells and whistles.
[General Topics] ZaxXx:
I use Wisbar Advance, it shows icons of running programs right on the taskbar, so I use my Touch HD like it's a desktop PC :D . And I also use Alt-tab from SPB Pocket Plus mapped to HW button :) not exactly what you described (and not freeware), but it's the best multitasking experience I've ever had ;)
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
AE Button has a nice task switcher; assign a button to it, and you're good to go. It doesn't alter the function of the 'x' button or the task bar. You need to pony up 7 bucks, though.
[General Topics] stowee-1:
I bought SPB pocket plus a while back (then later switched to something else). I copied out the standalone alt-tab.exe program that installs with the package. I just made a shortcut to this executable and then assigned a button. Worked fine even after uninstalling pocket plus. It doesn't reside in memory, it only functions when called upon.
[General Topics] galaxys:
I always liked the task manger in Homescreen Plus Plus.
[General Topics] djstern:
I wish there was a way to put a small icon up on the task bar at the top of the screen linking to the HTC task manager. Very finger friendly, but not very accessible. You have to leave your program and go launch it. Kinda defeats the point of a task manager.

In the mean time I think I've finally found a program that I can use. It's called HandySwitcher. The icons are a bit small and it's not the most finger friendly app out there, but it's always available, takes little memory, doesn't require button remapping to function and it just works. Maybe some day a more finger friendly program like that will be made. A link on the top bar to the HTC task manager or something similar for those that don't have a HTC would be perfect.

Thanks for the input.

Hi guys,... Im quite new around here.

Just wanted some advice regarding radio updates.

In my Settings -> About phone -> Baseband Version

It states: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

I have flashed the Modaco 3.2 ROM, do i need to update the radio aswel?

is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 the latest one and would it be compatable with my rom?

and lastly, to install it, do I just download it, change the name to 'update.zip' then install it through the recovery thing like i did the custom ROM?

Please help me.

Thank you.

---------------------------

Also,... Can the radio be 'rolled back' should i face any issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] andy9:
You can, but don't have to flash a newer radio athough it is allway recommended to have the newest radio installed.

You don't have to a wipe before flashing a new radio.

You do not have to rename the radio.zip to update.zip but can also flash it under its original name.

Be shure to use a newer recovery such as the ones pubished by Amon-RA (newest: RA-hero-v1.6.2) since they allow to do a full wipe which is allways recommended prior to ROM-flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
and do not pull the battery during the process, it takes a few minutes and restarts several times.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Thank you both.

So the radio is always done after the new ROM is installed right?

So do it in this order yeah,...

1,... Install the custom recovery (Amon RA)

2,... Do full wipe, (Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe SD)

3,... Flash custom ROM

4,... Boot up.

5,... Format SD card on phone.

6,... Re-boot.

7,... Put new radio on SD. Turn off.

8,.. Go into recovery again to install radio.

Is that about right?

Will i be able to roll back the radio if needed?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] andy9:
5 is optional but if done, then best before 3 or even before 2.

roll back the radio: yes you can!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Thank you,... I've just done it,... And my network signal is alot better, i was only getting 2bars, 3 at best, i assumed it was due to me using a rebel sim but now with the updated radio im getting full signal!!

Thank you.

Hello people,

As we all know, hd2 or Manila 2.5 comes with a twitter tab which allows users to view their tweets and update your status. I am wondering if anyone would be able to extract this htc peep application so that we would be able to use it with manila 2.1 and other versions of manila. I really like the usability of the htc peep as compared to many other twitter apps on the market today.

Also, i think it is possible to extract the htc peep as the htc ebook reader has also been extracted from the manila 2.5!

Thank you!

Im planning to buy HD2! i already own a kaiser.

1)most of them say that winmo is the only problem, but i love winmo!

2)and i there was some 3d driver problem in hd2? (already kaiser doesnt have proper drivers)

if that is a big issue please let me know.

3) how are games in hd2?

4)music audio quality

5)call quality

6)last but not least! TF3d is not lagging?

Please suggest me! thanks in advance

[HD2 General] sonngx:
U will love it like i do

I was worried about win-mo too, but after i got the hd2 i love it so much.

The only thing I don't like about it is the battery life, can't even last for 1 day :o. Other than that it's a perfect phone. U can use it for like almost everything.

I believe u would like it too :)
[HD2 General] jenod:
Thanks you! :-) gonna buy it tomorrow!
[HD2 General] jenod:
Now all i want to know is how it handles 3d apps and games!! and those driver issue! anyone suggest please
[HD2 General] elburna:
Till now i can say, that i tried EVERY (quality) game out there. None of them was able to slow down the HD2 or make it stutter or something (even though the drivers are really crappy as confirmed by many many chefs ;) You can get a clue of the quality of the drivers, if you try a 3D-Benchmark (sorry got no link at the moment). But just as i said, theres is acually no software/game that really stresses the HD2 apart from HD-Videos...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] N4rc071x:
Hi everyone,

Sorry for sounding like a total noob, but today I was trying to flash my phone to "SUPER-HERO" rom. but first I needed to update the radio and hboot.

I went into recovery mode with "fastboot boot recovery.img".

Updated to radio image

6.35.08.29

And rebooted.... my phone showed up an HTC boot screen (probably was doing some updating) and then the problem started..

My phone is now booting through the vodafone logo then the HTC Magic logo (usb sound on my laptop for a second) and reboot.

No key combination is working except for the action button which shows up a blue LED.

Anyone can help?

My phone is an HTC Magic 32A (Vodafone Branded).

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] merlos:
You must to revert to old radio, when you update to new radio you need to install a rom/kernel port that works with new radio.

I can't reach fastboot I don't know why.. fastboot usually gets launched as soon as I press back + power.. I just get the vodafone logo then the HTC logo right after that.. and then it restarts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
If you flashed an incorrect radio or recovery (flashing the wrong radio is a surefire way to get bricked), and as a result are not able to get to fastboot or recovery, then you're bricked and as a result need a new phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] N4rc071x:
I managed to get the phone to fastboot but when I load the recovery ROM the phone just resets.

What can I do in fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You can flash a new (Correct) radio and/or recovery rom, or even a new SPL. Course reason instructions carefully for whatever you grab.

i havn't been on the website in a long time and really love all the option you guys put up here. i will be receivin my tp2 come monday and really interested in using the HDWall, but has anyone created a software were it allows you to use a video or .gif file? i have tons of pics to choose from 1 for portriat and 1 for landscape but what about video? granted these phones prob are not made to handle constant video or i could be wrong, but a program that lets you compress a video or use a .gif and if possible run of a memory card would be a plus to minimize the use of the rom. am i making any sence, i think it would be cool. how long should it run, how big a file size it can be, i wish i was a programmer/dev. anyone can tell how i go about that, can it be self taught or a course is required.

I have a small problem. I use a netbook (Asus Eee PC 1005HA-H, Atom N280) for my computering. However sometimes I need to have acces to a PC while I'm on the go. I know there is a Remote Desktop program in my HD2, but here's the problem: I use Windows XP Home edition. Which does not have an RDP server in it. There is no way I can use Remote desktop for my laptop sadly.

I do have good experiences with VNC applications such as RealVNC.

So logically, I am now looking for a good, finger-friendly app for my HD2. I am using Google to find more information, but all I seem to find is applications that are from 2005 and VGA, or offers for Viagra.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

dude the other thread was closed to encourage more reading and searching and to reduce clutter and redundant threads...

by replying to this thread (especially with false information) with information regarding a closed thread you are eroding the whole purpose.

the radio you mentioned (1.27.14.09) is NOT a WM6.1 radio.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
No to encourage is what denco7 said in the other thread providing an answer along with a reason why people should use the search, XDA is not spoonfeed centre but a knowledge of information you can find very easily and the constant questions being asked repetitively only lead to more confusion and a messy XDA.........

So if you start the process quick towards searching\reading

i imagine the word missing is help :D

Actually there was no word missing, the space was left for the quote I had.

Hi all

Ive downloaded a few games like Worms on my HD2 that seem to work great jut wondering if there is a generic controller that i can download to play games ?

whethr it be faintly over the game screen or whatever ?

thanks

Jack
[HD2 General] elburna:
I use this one here. Im not sure about the compatibility to all the games out there (was designed for worms classic --> the FAR BETTER WORMS BY THE WAY ;), but im sure they need to support onscreen gamepads to work properly (p.ex. in worms you could/had to assign the keys to the functions of the pad) and unfortunately have to be in/support vga. You need to start the exe inside always before you want to play a game or even better: make a short mortscript which always starts both - the game and the keypad. Enjoy and maybe you want to tell us if it works for other games as well.

EDIT - One thing: the "X" always closes the keypad-application

Already tried it some time ago and didnt really like it ;) Classic Worms World Party is still my favorite --> Close to PC-Version, better movement if you ask me, more configurable things and in my eyes still the cuter graphics (apart from the fact, that in worms 2010 even the wvga version is still pixulated which would not have been necessary as the game doesnt need a lot of hardware power)... But thats a matter of taste... :)

Good Day All,

After usign my LEO for few months without the HTC TASK MANAGER, I looked for a decent task manager to be used, I really liked the old HTC TASK MANAGER on me BLACKSTONE before, but unfortunately it didn't run well on LEO, so, from my point of viewm I realized that the best match was the X2 TASK MANAGER, installed it, I had its nw icon on the upper right corner, runs well, closes programs BUT, I lost the new notification screen of WM 6.5 !, uninstalled it, and I regained it back ! so I realaized that it was the culprit.

Any idea, or any other modified X2 TaskManager without this problem ?

Thanx ............
