JD'S 6.5 rom. No Task manager on task bar??

boredmug · #1 (**permalink**) 04-15-2009, 05:36 PM

I love his new Rom as it has been very fast and stable for me so far. I've tried Copper and i actually prefer JD's. Only problem is the HTC task manager doesn't show up in the task bar at all. Anyone know what is up?

The version of the taskmanager I used is current however I removed the quick menu due to the lack of space and compatiblity with the taskbar I removed the quickmenu the quickmenu sometime can cause the startmenu to quit working .... and for further info you will need to post a question like this in my thread so that I or someone can give you a better answer

I use wkTask and love it.

It WILL close the Start Menu on Windows Mobile 6.5 by default, but you can configure it not to. Otherwise you'll need to reboot to get the Start Menu back.

I am still trying to find out the path and filename of the program that runs the Start Menu so I can include that in the wkTask exclusion list, but in the meantime you can add programs to the exclusion list by their taskbar titles.

So to make this work with wkTask without knowing the filename you have to add the titles "Start", "Settings", "Connections", "Personal", and "System" to the exclusion list. Then wkTask will not close any program with those taskbar titles and all is well.

It also has an optional battery indicator (I like it - it's color configurable if you donate - gray if you don't)
It also has an optional program launcher app (like it - but don't need it anymore with the new 6.5 Start Menu)
It also has an optional screen dimmer and volume app built in (I like that one for the dimmer but again not really needed any more with the TP's light sensor)

You dont need a taskbar....the touch pro has plenty of memory you dont need it....you probably owned a mogul....you dont need it...just forget it exists and it wont matter anymore...
