Believe me, I've tried EVERY viable solution out there, as I explained in my thread here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...45#post1321945

The best solution remains mapping the built in task manager (one that most people don't even know exists, and honestly neither did I) to a hard button.

Here is how you do it step by step:

1. Open File Explorer
2. Select "View Options"
3. Select "Show All Files"
4. Go to \Windows folder on Device
5. Find the file called "taskmgr" (it is 29.3K in size)
Not TaskMan
Not TaskManager
Not TaskManagerApp
Not TaskManagerLite
Not TaskMgr

It has to be "taskmgr" ... It's there believe me:

6. Press down on this file for about 2-3 seconds so the file menu opens and select copy

7. Go to "My Device\Windows\Startmenu\Programs

8. Click on Menu -> Edit -> Paste Shortcut

PART 1 DONE

Now Map it to a hard button for quick access

1. Click on Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons

2. All we need to do now is assign the Send Key(Hold) to "taskmgr"

3. So in other words, anytime we hold down on the Talk button for ~2 seconds or so, instead of making a phone call or flipping the screen orientation, it will launch the above task manager instead.
(you can still make phone calls of course by just hitting the talk button normally, i.e. no long hold)

PART 2 DONE

That's it.

Showcase or HTC task manager?

Options are different on some taskbars and that is probably why it now shows it.

Is the GF taskbar working better for the batter issue?
Should be spot on I think.

well I dont know how well its working for the battery issue, as when I click on the battery on the taskbar it brings up the notification screen and just shows the one percentage with a little green battery to the right of it, which is fine. but like i said it messes up the notification screen some by putting a white line between the sprint and battery notification, and theres a shadow of the close button that is superimpossed (sp?) behind the battery notification, hope this makes sense lol. I'll try to uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes it.

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. :)
