EmpiROM - Featuring TellMe & WM6.5.1 - Fast, Stable, Sleek. For Touch Pro.

[AkumaX]

this is one stable rom. i've done a lot of flashing in the past few weeks, and will probably stay on this one for a while, lol

Why do all that when the task manager is already set for long key press on the talk button?
This method brings up the same option but uses 10 times the amount of resources to use.
I guess I don't really get it.

I'm downloading now to give it a shot. For you verizon users how is your memory usage on this? Is opera usable without getting "out of memory" errors constantly? I've tried several 6.5/6.5.1 roms and keep going back to 6.1 due to memory usage.

You see there is nothing showing on my home tab about the taskbar.


Here is QuickMenu main menu with closing app options.


QuickMenu program menu


I did map it to the long key press and it is fast and smooth.

It has a recent option to open app you have used and it has.
Basically it has almost ever menu option your home PC has plus options to close running apps.

Oh yeah, if you click the Close Program with the arrow it has an option to open the same task manager.

I've tried that, it's just too small and cumbersome, and it doesn't respond as well as I would like.

Personally, whenever I use taskmgr, I never see it hit 1MB of RAM usage.

It always hovers around 150-200K.

And whenever Im done using it, I just execute a "close all apps" which closes the taskmgr as well, and thus releases any RAM it may have consumed in the process.

Open the default mapped task manager and it uses around 144k or so.
Open the taskmanager the way you mapped it and it uses aver 1 meg.
That is a huge difference in resources for no real difference in options.

The QuickMenu I posted can also be mapped to the long key press I guess and it has options to close running apps as well as a full program menu.

Showcase 1.0.1b is another good option as the new versions as you already know are a pain for the new rom builds.

I will ry to post a QuickMenu sceenshot in a few.

Root,

I investigated what you were talking about more thoroughly and Im sure of it that you're confusing one task manager for the other.

Look for yourself.
Here is what happens when I map taskmgr to my long talk key and open it up:



As you can see, it consumes a mere 152K, that's it.

What you are confusing it for is this OTHER task manager,


That one consume over 1MB, look:


They are 2 COMPLETELY different and distinct task managers that have nothing to do with one another.
The icons even appear different, and the path is completely different.

My method recommended on the previous page doesn't consume 1MB, it only consumes ~ 150K-170K
Oh, and the CPU usage is only ~ 1% (it only spiked up during the screenshot, then went back to throttling between 0 and 1%)

Also, I personally found quickmenu to be a bit on the cumbersome side and unfortunately not very finger friendly. It almost demands the use of the stylus in some scenarios.
taskmgr is perfect for quick task switching, app killing, and it once more consumes little more than 150K.

I understand that there are two different taskmanager options in WM.
Will check to see if your option consumes less ram when mapped.
If you just open it then it does take up a lot more resources.
Maybe when it is mapped it works different.

I do know the difference in the two task manager options though, just to be clear.

Also if you ever open the registry editor you will see the exact same task manager options as you are talking about.
Well, you will see processes and CPU Usage as well there.

Showcase 1.0.1b works for me as it does what it's supposed to do while keeping it simple.

[rootlinux]

Yeah the older 1.0.1b works fine.

weird, now that I installed that GF Round Taskbar WM 6.5 I can get to the task manager when I click on the clock in the taskbar, it drops down. the thing that happened when I installed that new taskbar is that it messes up the notifications area some but it's not a big deal since the battery meters match now and plus I can get to the task manager so I guess it's a trade off I can live with.
