As Close to WebOS as Omnia is Going To Get (At The Moment) Animated Task View

[MrOmnia81]

ok so I tested out the latest Task Facade 4.0 and I like it. It's highly customizable. Although, unless i'm doing something wrong (and I doubt it) I am unable to close the task for some reason.. Maybe it's just my phone.. Anyway, this program is worth trying out. I've attached screen shot's showing what I was able to do with it. I also attached the latest version of Task Facade.

Just swipe your finger from where it says "Samsung" to about halfway up the screen to bring up the built in task switcher (portrait mode). This works in almost every program, if not all.

I decided to check the themes out and tried to make my own theme and it works.. So you also can create your own themes.. This is the LCD TV theme that I created.

Ive been trying to get Adryn to use this instead of the standard omnia task switcher for a while now. BTW, to close an app hold it for a few seconds then release, an "X" will appear on it, then, when you choose a task to switch to, it closes all apps you have got an X on.

Anyhow if anyone is interested, heres how to use it as the omnia taskswitcher (so you can swipe up to open.)

Install TaskFacade to My Storage

Change the name of TaskFakade to TaskSwitcher

Open the setings.xml file and change the theme directory from "Themes" to
TFThemes". Now change the theme folder name to match. (this will prevent future issues)

Create a shortcut to the new taskswitcher in your startup folder and delete the taskfacade.lnk thats there.

move the entire contents of your Taskfakade folder to the windows directory overwriting the current taskswitcher

Launch taskfacade and use the D pad to select any process you dont want to show up (Taskfacade, Activesync, and device are the ones i hide) then click on the blank part of the screen click processes in the menu that apears and hide.

Enjoy

(maybe if enough of us ask nicely well get Adryn to add it to the base or vanilla roms)

that would be awesome if he included it... I use the samsung switch all the time... but it would def be great if i could swipe and task facade came up...

its really not hard to make any rom do it, just follow the directions i posted. Ive run it on mine for some time now.

It's there. Just swipe your finger up the screen from bottom to top to pull it up (except on Titanium screen). Or you can assign a button to open it in Settings -> Personal -> Buttons

Ya i know how to do that... what i am trying to figure out is he said to rename the TaskSwitcher and overwrite that in the windows folder... there is no taskswitcher in the windows folder at all...

Ok so i am stupid and i found it... now it wont let me overwrite the file... is there like a run as Admin option or something?

I don't know if I got a bad version of this program or not, but it constantly gives me an exception error and needs to close. I have MS3 and Pocket CM which is usually when it seems to crash. Anyone else having issues?
