Hi guys!
Does anyone know of a nice lightweight task switcher i can use with the WM6 ROM
Someting that integrates nicely into the system??
Ive been looking around, but cannot find anything good.
(I found Tman, wich is quite good, but theres a bug in the menu bar!)
Cheers
Try Wisbar advance 3
It may be big but ok without skin!
It does correctly manage tasks.

Good try
DinarSoft HandySwitcher 3.0
Thanks guys!
Ill go and try it out!
pBar 1.4 - it's here at devel forum.
Switched over to dutty's roms, which are great. But I miss the HTC task manager from the stock ATT rom. From what I've heard, the reason why it's not included is that it's kinda buggy and might be the reason for some of the "hangs" that people have noticed.
So I'm looking for a good task manager now, similar functionality as the old HTC one. I found tMan, which isn't bad:
http://freewarepocketpc.org/2008/utilities/tman-v099
But one problem with it is I can't figure out how to make it be black/grey (i.e transparent) vs the ugly red. I know it's a minimal gripe, but it is one.
Any other ideas, or a way to get it to be grey?
Try QuickMenu.
Quick Menu is already included in Dutty's. It is decent but QM is primarily for replicating the Windows "Start Menu".
If you are looking for a dedicated task manager try pBar. It is free and works excellent. It has a lot of nice features while maintaining a very small footprint. A quick search will lead you to it.
I am partial to WkTask. It is free also. Here: http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
In fact, I use WkTask and Quickmenu at the same time. Both are nice and fast.
I also like Wisbar Advance 3, but it is not free and does put more of a load on your device....primarily due to the incredible themes and graphics!!!!

Use the Task Manager that comes with Battery Status plugin.
I use handiswitcher along with aebuttonplus. Both programs together give me a great task manager that can be used with both the stylus and the hardware buttons.
It also has an auto reclaim ram feature so when you close a program it tries to reclaim some of the ram that program used.
Handiswitcher costs I think $10 and aebutton plus is free... but i think you pay to remove the startup screen.
I like the one ilauncher has.
guys stop visit http://freewarepocketpc.org is a poor copy of http://www.freewarepocketpc.net ... they have taken even the title of the site hahahahha
Has anyone gotten 4 sides on the cube working with the wing? I've read something about it somewhere.
I managed to get a 4-sided cube working on my herald.
But it had been a little bit difficult actually. Needed a lot of software to install it.
what software did you need to get? and does it work with carlos's new touch settings?
Here is a link to the 4-sided cube. I don´t know if it is legal to post links to other sites in this forum, so Mods, if it ain´t right to post these links please delete ´em!

Hmmm, I always thought cubes had six sides.....
the current cube is more like a prism it only has 3 sides. i think that adding the HTC Action screen as the 4th "side" would be a great idea, and make the cube a true cube and more useful.
This is the right link. It is developed by xda-dev-user
SCLPF - it is a more comfortable modifying Cube clone...

I think instead of using the cube to launch programs the interface would make an awesome task manager. It would be great flipping through open apps or at least the most common ones like dialer, messaging, comm manager, media player, google maps etc...

Remember we only have 30MB RAM - flipping through this programs would have to open them before.....

Then how about just a Flip through task manager, only flipping through open apps?
Can this cube-extension be installed (and uninstalled) easily on a basic Herald (WM6)-device ?
Hi to all.
I am a new owner of a TyTN II and former owner of 9090 and S710. I would like which is the best calendar and phone manager (missed calls) application?
I don't know about phone manager, but as concerns calendar application, I think that SPB diary is probably the best....
I go with Spb Diary and Spb Phone Suite......
I use Agenda One. For me the best, Great piece of software !
maybe he means phone explorer ( phone manager )
if that is what it means so you have only one choice
resco explorer
I'll throw in the combo I like:
PocketInformant

SBSH PhoneWeaver

SBSH PocketBreeze

Total Commander is a good free alternative for file managing
For calendar, Calendar+ is my preferred Today plugin. I bought pocketbreeze (which is similar to SPB Diary I think) when it was on special offer, but in the end I found I preferred Calendar+. I also tried TodayAgenda and, while it was good, it didn't suit me.
For missed call notifications (which seems to be missing in WM6), you might want to consider PhoneAlarm and SPB Phone Suite.

I've tried both SPB Diary and Pocket Informant. I think the second one is definately more customizable but I don't like the today screen that much and i have some problems with the GREEK language. I like the spb diary today plugin but it doesn't have links for emails and phone numbers on the appointments, so that I can call someone easily. Also when you open the appointment if the title is long you have to scroll with the arrows.. Is there a program that can combine these? I will give Agenda One a try!!
I am testing Agenda One now. It is probably the most useful application available.
I tried Agenda One, but found that it didn't have all of the features I wanted. Agenda Fusion is similar to Agenda One, but has more capabilities. Agenda Fusion is working great for me.
Oooops! I somehow double-posted.
Just curious. What do all these 3rd party calendar software have that Outlook doesn't. I've tried a few, and have always gone back to Outlook. It's nice and simple to use.
I dont call thumbcal the best , but as of now its suit my need. Very simple and finger friendly = what I want from a calendar.

I'm using this exact same set of S/W. Working well for me. PocketInformant has many better calendar views than PocketOutlook. PocketBreeze gives me flexible ways to put my calendar on my homescreen. If you go to a lot of meetings (and/or use Outlook to keep your personal calendar too) these types of views are very helpful.
Hello,
I've just tried Pocket Informant, which is very great, but it seems to not fit my necessity as I was expecting. It has "all" but what I need.
I simply need to set my "class" timetable for university. I don't want to use Excel or something similar. I thought something like pocket informant was the best one to do that, but it seems a little bit complicate. It also maybe I'm not able to use PI very well.
I also want to not use PI to view my contacts. Is there some place where I can select what PI should manage and what not? For example, I don't want Activities to be managed by PI. What to do?
Thanks a lot.
Call Calendar
One of the best ones I use, It logs all calls into your phones calendar, then will put it onto your outlook or exchange server as a private appointment.

Pocket Informant (the newest one) has settings called 'Roles' under which you can choose whether PI is the default app for calendar / tasks / contacts
Thanks a lot aberz! I'll try it as soon as possible!
EDIT: I've just tried it. That's really cool! Thank you!
...
Thank you rabdo, I'm going to look for that "role"... I hope to find it!! There are a lot of possible settings !!!
EDIT: I found it. It works very well now.
Bye!
I love Pocket Breezer, I've always used PB since I had MDA Vario and now I've got MDA Vario III but still using PB.
Does anyone know of an alternative to TouchFlo 3D. I spoke to an HTC technician who told me that he uses a better program for his Diamond that has better response times etc, but he wouldn't say what it was. I was complaining about the response times on the phone.
He probably meant PointUI, SPB Mobile Shell, Winterface or any number of alternatives. Been trying SPB Mobile Shell 3 which is pretty good (there's a free trial) but my fav so far is PointUI (free "light" version) - http://www.pointui.com
There are also a couple of iPhone clone interfaces in the Development and Hacking section.
Thanks a lot for that echolock. I am just downloading the free Pointui to the phone. Do I have to disable TouchPro 3d before loading it or will it do that automatically. I am fairly new to the phone so please excuse my ignorance.
Yes, you have to disable TF3D before using PointUI.
After all, if you decide to keep PointUI instead of TF3D, you have to flash your phone with a naked Rom so you gain space and memory.
Do you know how to disable TF3D. My phone is an Orange branded one if that makes a difference. They use thier own ROM. I can't find a way to disable it anywhere. I have downloaded Pointui directly to the phone but I can't start the program. It isn't in programs. I have found it in my documents. Can you help.
Go to start-settings-today, under items, untick touchflo.
Thanks for that. TF3D is now disabled. Any idea how i load Pointui onto my phone now?
Download the program (which is a .CAB file) to your computer, then copy to the phone (storage card is best area)
Then, using FileExplorer, naviagte on the phone, to the location you saved it, and click on the program, it'll ask a few things, just click the left soft button.
Thanks for that. Installed it and works fine. It does seem beeter than the TF3D.
I use scott seligman's launcher on the standard windows today screen,it just add's program icon's to today screen,one tap open's any application,no sliding this thing here,flipping this there,scrolling up or down.
It's not finger friendly though,unless you have pointy little finger's,or usually use a stylus anyway,but it doesn't get much faster or less resource hungry than this simple app.
WAD from lakeridgesoftware.com is pretty incredible
let me know what you think
