[Resolved]Task Manager/App Switcher

[CripledCyclone]

ArkSwitch, and HTC Taskmanager; neither worked, and Ark almost bricked my phone, is there one for WinMo 6.5 that will let me switch from app to app, and also kill unwanted process/apps?

stock 6.5 rom? try this. native winmo drop down task manager to the top corner of the screen where the "x" is.

The only way to brick one of these htc phones is to flash a GSM/other device radio to your CDMA device or 'unlock' your CDMA phone with the GSM unlocker. There's no way arkswitch (which is made for 6.5.x mostly) could brick your phone...

Just use htc taskmanager or xperia x2 taskmanager or resco taskmanger or etc. etc.

Or just use the built-in Task Manger with a shortcut in whichever screen you prefer.

See images

I can see why you might still want the old drop-down manager if you are in an application and can't switch to the Home screen, but you can always hit the "Start" soft-key or the Windows hard key to access your programs.

Just my $0.02 YMMV

you can assign the "built in" taskmanager to the long press of the send key if you dont currently use that for anything, but the op said he didnt like the htc taskmanager or "built in" as you refered to it.

JDs slow your device when loading... you can literally watch sense load, and still have to wait till you see the drop down in the corner b4 you can use your phone at all... not cool..

DOT FRED TASK MANAGER..attached.. no cab, just an exe you can run from sd or device... shows EVERTHING!!

Oh aha, I never even saw the task manager in there before.
And what I mean by bricked is that when I had it installed it wouldn't load past the WinMo Flag screen.

How would I go about assigning it to the long send key?

[austin420]

start menu > settings > personal >buttons > program buttons.
if youve never been there before send key will be the first option. just assign the program there.
