Hi all,
WM 6.5.x is really nice to use but as a big lack of task manager.
As I couldn't find anything that works well I gave a shot at WKtask, thinking it wouldn't work... I WAS WRONG !
I already posted this on the Diamond BSB Rom thread, but I thought I'd share it for people with other devices. Hope this helps some people !
WKtask creates somekind of virtual OK button where it used to be on WM older builds. It can be set to various actions (OK/Close, Minimise, Launcher, etc...). That button is skinnable but unfortunatly covers up the last 2 digits of the time... so we make it transparent.
By changing, the position, the skin, Icon style and colors you will be able to adapt it to you're theme. (Use the settings in the posted screenshots to get what I did or play around to adapt it your way)
What do we get after this ?
If you use the same settings than mine, what you'll get is :
- A windows pc style taskbar.
- WM OK button, minimise applications and works simply as defined.
- WKtask invisible virtual OK is set to terminate applications
I haven't tested all the functions but everything seems to work ok, i tested :
- battery Gauge
- launcher
- hiding applications status
- exceptions
- skinning
It seems that WKTask disables the new WM6.5.x top ruban with Battery, network, etc icons... personaly I don't care but for those who do...
Thanks to Waku for a great little tool : WKTask Homepage

This is such a shame!! i would have loved to try this, but if it disabled the Topbar i cant use the WM Notification Manager as i have removed the HTC Enhanced Notifications!!
Is there anyway to get this to work as it is not really a solution if it breaks something else!
Really nice idea tho, i would love to have a try with it!
Can i ask, what version of total commander are you using in the screenshots? all the versions i have tryed are really hard to use on the HD2!!
thanks for your work and answers in advance

Did not help much it is covering icons

I no longer use BSB G Rom, I now use Benko's Ultra Light
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606064
Some small things are not working fine on BSB'G... and this rom is tiny -50Mo
And, thanx to YOU, I use Sashimi so it really doesn't take long to flash and be up and running...
Anyways, by settings the right offset to half the screen if I press anywhere on the icons the rubbon seems to work (for now)
Another "kind of" workaround would be by using the WKTask launcher to access the functions you normally get with the rubbon.
On other this about Benko's Rom is that it includes a basic but perfectly working task manager and associated to Ameba a long press on the start button brings it up
See screenshot
As from Totalcommander it's 2.52 beta 2 available here

Sashimi rocks!!! best auto installer available!! shame the dev got permanent ban from this site for making it!
Apparently it is warez! It uses a trial version of SKTools through the command line and because of that its warez.

Hello everyone! Saw this video of the Android 2.3 screen fade out animation, and thought I could maybe cook something up for Windows Mobile. Here's what I came up with.
Granted, it's fairly useless, but it sure does look cool. Tested on my HTC HD2.
Instructions
Just install the cab file and (if you want) set Send Key to turnOffAnimation.lnk, and you're set.
Note this will not replace anything on your device, so it should be safe. Let me know what you think!
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPEbC_dzdWg
Download: http://windowsphonehacker.com/crt_screen_fade_out_animation_on_windows_mobile-11-17-10.php
Testing it out now. Looks nice man. Good job.
**EDIT**
Ok, so it works well on the TP2 also, but a bit slower then on HD2 of course.
Great work, but not really practical for slower devices I guess.
Unless one doesn't mind the extra wait.
Anyhow, very nice implementation of a useless(as you say), but very cool feature. Nice work.
This is totally useless, but very cool!
It's a pity that on my TP2 at the end of the animation it gives back an error.
Please see attachment.
Anyway thanks!
Sweet thing! But I use pocketshield lockscreen and the HD2 does not get locked when using this. It just turns off the screen. Could just be a setting in PS i guess. Anyway, thanks!

P.S.: You're on the news:
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/android-23-gingerbread-screen-off-animation-for-windows-mobile
Cool feature.
Thanks!
After receiving some feedback, I want to know: Is there demand for a version with faster animation?
I played with the settings for a while, and couldn't decide if I wanted it more noticeable, or simply faster.
Also, this would probably help performance on non-snapdragon device. If there's demand for it, let me know, and I'll release a second cab today. No time to make a settings dialog, sorry.
On my TP2 (non-snapdragon device) a faster animation would be welcome!
@Jaxbot:
Useless so as you say , but really cool.
I have added your exe file to the CHT_softkey_lock. Also the original image for the softkey is used and i have a new way to set my phone in standby mode. This is done very easy with the CHTEditor from the CHT Suite. It can be added to the functions of CHTScheduler. Very nice done...
This is NOT useless, it is a gimmik what brings more fun... thank you for sharing this useless thing with us
Looks awesome on my HD2!
Would be cool to have it replace the default screen off button

Jaxbot,
Great little app, but sadly does not work on my Omnia Pro B7610, i also get the error message.
So please do faster animation if possible so it can work!
thanks

I would certainly welcome a little faster animation. Thank you so much Jaxbot. This app is simple and Fantastic!
cool app!
waiting for fix on the glitch.
Trying to find the best way to dispose of the used Bitmap objects in the program. Strangely, bmp.Dispose(); simply crashes with an ObjectDisposedException, and setting it to null doesn't help the memory problem (Which is why it crashes sometimes, by the way.)
If anyone has some suggestions, let me know. The app is written in C#, fyi
Updated version, should run faster on older devices and clean up some memory bugs:
http://windowsphonehacker.com/files/crtanimation_fast.cab
Thank you!
It's working great on my TP2. This was a great idea.
May i sugest another useless idea:
when we rotate from portrait to landscape and vice-versa, it would be cool that during the time that the device takes to change, we could see some sort of animation.
Once again thank you for sharing youre work.
TurnOnAnimation...???
Thanks for new version!
Please, let me make a suggestion, for a turnOnAnimation...
What I mean is an animation when we open applications that we have selected to have this animation (in some kind of turnOnAnimation Configurator, or using the turnOnAnimation before opening the application using something like mortscript)
Hi Jaxbot,
there is fast c solution to resize images in different directions. I have found this for meltwaters RSS tab. Please ask him for the source, because he have done more work on it to make it perfect. Possible there is also a solution, or to do some tests....
Really fast on my Omnia
A little glitch is at the wake up, i seeing the end of the animation a bit.
Thanks
So, this here would be my very first post to XDA Forums! With that being said, I think it's safe to say I'm somewhat, if not very much a noob.
But let's get into it shall we?
I recently (2 days ago) flashed the Liberty 1.5 Rom onto my D2. Previous to that I rooted my phone about two months prior using the Z4 easy root app, but shortly after realized I didn't really know what I was doing (all I wanted to do was delete, what I now know is called 'bloatware' apps off of my phone) Then I found Liberty. so beautiful! .. so I figured out how to flash it easily by dl it from my pc and copy and pasting it to my sd card then loading using D2 Bootstrap Recovery.
Okay okay, now REALLY getting to what this is all about..
I saw, and fell in love with the Kovicon Hybrid icon pack. I want it!.. I just don't know how to go about getting it! I already dl'd it onto my pc from a Droid Forum site droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/48683-release-kovicon-hybrid-icon-pack.html to be exact. And now I'm not sure where to go from there. Do I use MetaMorph, do I unload the .zip file from Bootstarp Recovery?
Please help!! I'd be eternally grateful!!
Thanks for bearing with my, how you say, noob..ie..ness?
It's all good. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I glanced over the article, and it looks like you'd use Metamorph. I am, honestly, to lazy to type up a full set of instructions, so if you will forgive that short falling, I will direct you over to a set of pretyped instructions:
http://droidpirate.com/2010/08/18/installing-custom-metamorph-theme/
If ya have any further questions, encounter any problems, need some elaboration, etc feel free to ask.
Oh, I understand, I too suffer from said laziness .. Okay, I am looking into it now! This may take some time ha Thanks for responding in the first place! :-D
Omgosh!!! I did it!!! Thank you sooooooo much!!! this is awesome .. now I just need to find out how to change the launcher thing, the thing that normally has the app list button, and phone button and browser .. do you have any idea how to do that???
Congradulations. And, I prob do (or atleast can find instructions if i dont), but I am not sure what you are wanting to change? To a diffrent launcher? Change the buttons that are there? Change the look/background? Something else entirely? Give me alittle more info, and I'll do my best to find you the info you need.
hahah alright, well I tried posting a rather amazing picture that summed it up completely, but since I am so new it wouldn't let me .. Okay, it's the button(s) on your main screen. The one that is normally in the middle, if you tap it, it brings up all your apps. And then next to it usually on the left is the phone button to dial numbers. Then usually on the right is a button for a browser or sms! .. Ya know???
That's usually how it is by default? Unless you mean you wanna apply a new theme to it?
Maybe try PMing me the pic/link?
Sorry to get back like a whole day later! .. I found out it's called a dock. And yeah I was just wondering if I could custom theme that, and where to find different dock icons and such .. I know I could always use Adw Launcher, but I can never really get into that.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I dont really think you can theme the stock launcher that much. Though custom launchers - such as ADW, Launcher Pro, etc - have a wide variety of customization options.
Gilgamesh, you are pretty wrong. You CAN theme launcher2.apk
If you look at my pink steel theme it is completely different from other launcher2s. It has 4 shortcuts at the bottom 6 items in the menu and a 3d app drawer. I could even make the dock invisible if I wanted to. You can't do as much to the stock launcher (launcher2) but you can still do a bunch of customization.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Didn't say you couldn't do it at all, just was saying the options were more limited compared to the other launchers. Being that the other launchers have far more options, far more information, imo are easier to theme, and again imo preform allot better; it would, as always, imo, make the OPs life allot easier if he focused on the other launchers.
Hey Friends,

Check it out in my 1st Post...
the best rom.... for the last two years
I have tested many roms, over the last two years and this rom is head and shoulders, above the rest for many reasons.
The reception is great - which should be a given, when developers create roms
The battery life is great, testing this rom on the 1st day, i thought there was a disparity, between this rom and the tmobile 1.33.110.2 by about 15%, but the next day everyhing has leveled out, and if there's any disparity it maybe about 5%
Using the internet for 1 hour and writing, copying and pasting using notes you loose approx 10% of the batteyr life - which is on par with the stock rom
Listening to music, using the more memory intensive windows media player, for 90 minutes [music videos] - i also lost 10% - audio manager missing, but a simply search in the forum and voila....
The lock screen is much better than the one, that comes with the stock rom
Wifi an bluetooth works
Memory
Storage is 300mb + if you remove, ringtones and other jpgs found in my documents.
Programs with internet sharing active [handset as a modem], the memory in use is 66mb and free is 106mb
In idle state approx 45mb in use
The only issue i have found and i can live with is, when the phone boots up, the phonepad software intializes, and the window remains open, instead of closing and reverting back to the today screen.
I really hope in future, you take alot of the great and good from this rom, and don't be swayed to just throw, gimmicks into your rom, which run in the background and just kill the battery life and cause network issues, programs such as arkswitch, gfx, slide to unlock to name a few.
Great piece of work......... and thank you very much
Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm bought this phone recently and my previous one was a galaxy S5.
So when I moved to poco f1 a lot of features were missing so I have several problems:
1. I noticed that I can't see notifications (like whatsapp) in the notifications bar AND in the lock screen.
2. I can't open new folder in the launcher (only in the home screen).
3. notch disable.
Can I fix these problems somehow? (New rom?something else?)
please help me! I'm getting frustrated with this phone and I just bought it...
Thank you!

Yes for 1 and 3
Dont know for 2 but you get a laucher that alows that if the default one doesnt (I am on Pixel Experience so I can not check it)
Yeah Lineage OS fixes all the issues. You get notifications on the lockscreen and you get the icon for the first notification, after a 2nd notification comes in, it will change to a dot to show that you have multiple notifications. You can disable the notch by going to developer options and look for 'Simulate a display with a cutout' and select 'Hide'. I dont use the launcher that comes with it, I always install Nova Launcher, I've been using that launcher on all my phones for years. The free version is still very good, no need to buy the premium version. The included launcher with Lineage can probably handle folders normally, ive just never used it long enough to know if it does.
