Re: What is everyone using to switch between task ?

aebutton plus works really well for me for this task.. (I've got it configured so that I tap the end button twice, it pulls up a list of tasks that I can select from..)

Re: What is everyone using to switch between task ?

I just started using WKTask today. Although it's not the fastest, it's the best looking!

What task manager are you using? Aebutton plus let's you have a hardware button (end button twice in your case) open an app. Which app are you using to pull up that list of tasks?

That worked! I tried Total Commander first but that did not work. Resco Explorer took about 10 to 15 seconds but it did it!

Thanks!

Re: What is everyone using to switch between task ?

I too use quickmenu. I used AEbutton Plus to assign my end key with 2 presses to launch it. Use the Dpad to switch apps. No more tapping the top left of the screen which 50% of the time, I'd have to tap a few times. I also added the Reset App to the bottom of my qmenu list so I can easily reset the phone if needed.

Re: What is everyone using to switch between task ?

Tried WKTASK and it's nice but not my cup of tea (too cluttered to show all running apps) ... anyone using anything else they can recommend?

Task Facade suggested by Orlando is pretty cool. You can also try Magic Button (freeware) and HandySwitcher. They pretty do the same thing as the included HTC Task Manager that the Touch Pro has. Magic Button is like WkTask, but is a much smaller program. HandySwitcher display 'drop down' menu style for open application and its icon can be position anywhere on the start menu taskbar (just be aware if you do not disable "Show System Status screen" in TouchFlo settings, that can override HandySwitcher icon depending on its position). I have included the link to Magic Button below. Though, I currently do not use either of these programs and have just been using AE Button Plus.

If you are going to use AE Button Plus too, you probably do not need any of the application switcher programs. AE Button Plus allows you to map any hardware button to an application. So you can just configure one of the button to run Window Mobile's "Task Manager" (recommend using either double press or long press, so you will not have to give up existing single button press mappings that phone has as default). The Task Manager allows you to switch between open applications as well as close them. It's pretty much the same thing as the HTC Task Manger.

Here's link to Magic Button, if you want to try:
