Is anybody know how to open s740 task manager with one button??
Just like S60.
Open task manager in S740 is a little complicated...
Long Press send button can active Voice Commander. But I never use this function. Is possible to modify this button to task manager??
Thanks
Top button on the S740 will give you access to a menu, and on #3 is Task Manager.

LongPressButtons
I think that I might just have the idea that could help you. I made it for Wifi switch ON/OFF because I use it a lot...
The Camera button is only mapped for Short Press. You can easily remap the Long Press Camera Button. (Camera is still working in Short Press Mode)
You can easily remap hardware buttons by creating the follow shortcuts (.lnk) in the \Windows\ directory.
Long_Camera.lnk
Your Shortcut should lead to the Taskmanager in /windows/taskmgr.exe
(or an other Taskmanager, as you wish)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Windows_Mobile_6_Standard
Switch your phone off & on once you have created the shortcut. After that I should be working.
Hope that helps.
I will be using this. Thanks!
I recently linked the Taskmanager to the Short_Power.lnk
Now I'm very happy with that (very very fast access!!!)
Turning of the phone still works with longpress the powerbutten and I use only 2 Profiles (Normal, Vibrate) and switch between them with longpress #-Button.
To lock longpress "HANGUP"-Button.

I've been using the autorotation feature on my x7501 for a while, and it's alright, but definitely not always needed. I'd rather a hardware button initiate rotation.
Is this possible?

Hello.
I use Hbutton application.
With this application, you can assign different applications to the hardware buttons.
For example I use the camera button to star the camera, PocketScreen, and Rotate right.
I'm not sure, but the rotation came with some Home plugging or task managers.
Is just that you explore the software.
just google Hbutton. I use the version 2.3.
Regards.
Thanks, I'll try out Hbutton, I've been wanting to use some of the other buttons for alternate tasks. [The OK button for one]
Under the "Buttons" program in Settings, all you have to do is set one of the buttons to <Rotate Screen>. I didn't see that option previously.
I have changed my Diamond bay a Touch HD and what I miss more is the d-pad.
I really need it because I read a lot on my device and it is necessary to turn pages, etc. So I searched for a solution.
I've using remaping keys programs for some days, but they are big and have some limitations so I've done my own program with a very simple behaviour:
-Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
-If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
-Running the file a second time will close the resident with a small tone.
The program is small (7Kb) and remain resident without making use of CPU, it is simply a keyboard hook.
To install it copy the file werever you want and execute it. If you want it to start automatically after a Soft Reset make a link (DO NOT PUT THE FILE DIRECTLY) under \Windows\Startup or your locale equivalent.

really nice app
but does it work in touch pro 2 ?
I've tested it only on a Diamond and on a Touch HD.
But the technology should be the same for the TP2
well this is brilliant! and it works great on my blackstone.
few suggestions:
- it would be a good idea to have command-line support so that you can turn it on and off easily by creating shortcuts or assigning hardware buttons to enable or disable it, or having a status check so that if it's on, next time you run it will turn it off and vice versa.
-it would be great to have both the "ok" button support and the "hold ok" button support so that you can load "right click" menus.. (you can have the upper vol button function as "ok" and lower vol button function as "hold ok")
wonderful work
it works perfectly on my HD!
Virtual button interrupt on HD?
hi all,
installed this on my HD and it works well, but i notice that when i try to use the virtual button to go <Back> (looks like a left arrow <-- ), now it goes up instead.
anyone else have this issue?
This is a fantastic app, will be useful specially for those who play games on their phone. One query; is there a way to remap the vol key buttons? For example can volume up key be mapped to left key, and volume down key mapped to right key. I say this because in Diamond and Touch Pro the Up and Down key on D-Pad functions normally, its only the left key and the right key that has a problem.
I just check - program works good on samsung i780. Is it possible to disable left/right/return function, but remain only up/down? Could you please add (in future version) any configuration file?
Best regards
Tomasz

Same here on the Diamond 2, otherwise, fantastic stuff! If we can either get the Back Arrow button to act like the OK, or return it to its former glory, we are good to go!
Brillant, and I agree with the ML idea
fantastic. been looking for something like this for my touch hd
Awesome app! It works great with mobipocket. You can easily start/kill it with mortscripts (put links in the start menu, and you can do it with voice command). Edit the path as necessary.
kill("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
run("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
well done job
Nice work thx
vol buttons as a d-pad
Hi....anyone got it working for worms world party?? Kinda miss that game after changing from a kaiser to a blackstone....
thanks in advance.
Great App! Thanks!
Great stuff. I would add my vote to remove the left/right functionality and replace with 'OK' and 'context menu' support. I miss my Kaiser scroll wheel
It is difficult to do smething that will be perfect for all
I'll try to add support for exiting the program (easy) and for context menus (more difficult).
I also revise the issues with the back key.
EDIT: Done
One thing, What context menu can be reached with holding return? I wish to know for testing it
Thanks
Usefull app, I will get use to it.
Does not work for the TG01! After soft-reset it hijacks the bluetooth, switching it on and removing the BT link from the comm manager. It will not allow delete from any folder where it is copied! even the shortcut will not delete. (Had to manually disable the BT, then it auto deletes the shortcut, andyou can delete from a secondary folder. After soft-reset it will again delete from Primary folder, releasing control of the BT!)
I've tried nearly every multitasking switcher on the market and I still cant find one that works correctly. Is there a switcher that goes to ADW on single tap home and goes to the switcher on either long press or double tap?
heres a list of what I've tried (issues are in parentheses)
powerstrip (too small, single tap access)
Quickdesk pro (doesn't work, makes screen flash black and go crazy)
perfect task switcher (single tap access, wonky)
MultiTask Manager (single tap access)
TaskOS (no home button setting)
Underground (takes over the screen, isn't really a task switcher,ugly list)
Appswipe (clunky, ugly, paid to set to home button)
Softkeys- Would be awesome, if I could get the settings to work as advertised (see below)
Prehome (best task switcher BUT single tap access)
Softkeys:
Softkeys has an option for setting single tap home (ADW) and then an option for long press home (PreHome). This would be the perfect solution, but for some reason the long press home doesn't work no matter what I do. Any Ideas?
The Ideal task switcher for me would be anything simple (a bar or box with icons) that could be brought up with double or long click home. If you know of any I'd love to try them out.
I would like to figure this out as well. Haven't seen anything about it around here

Softkeys works for me, I have it set for single tap home and double tap softkeys. I don't believe Softkeys supports long button presses, I think that option is referring to the virtual home button that Softkeys presents on screen when called up.

Yes, it does not support long press on the physical button, that would be nice... As said above, it's a long-tap on the Home button on the popup.
Any ideas if we are using button Savior instead of soft keys?

Powerstrip does single or double tap. I currently have mine setup with ADW EX. Single tap to Homescreen and double tap to invoke.
I might use power strip then, is there a way to make it larger? As for the long press on home, hopefully we'll see cm on the nc
EDIT:
I got powerstrip working pretty well, but as I said before I wouldn't mind it being slightly bigger, also the "recent apps" folder has a few issues of its own. When a large game (or grooveshark) is in the recent apps and you try to launch it you get an "activity no found" error.
I found PreHome to work best.
I have the physical button mapped to PreHome, then when have PreHome open SoftKeys.
I like button savior. It pull the last 6 apps that u have used when you long press the soft home button.

You may want to check out Taskswitcher (free). Once set up it uses single press on physical home key to invoke recent apps list and allows you to set up your own home app for double tap. Long press is not supported I don't think. If anyone knows of apps that allow setting long press actions (recent apps or otherwise) please share. I did notice in the DEV forum that someone made a custom Froyo version with custom home button behavior including long press so maybe someone could share how to set that up in 2.1 if thats possible.

Thanks for this tip! I replaced SK with BS a day or two after rooting, and had no idea this functionality was built into BS!
If you turn off the sk service check mark you can double press the nook button and still use bs

SK Service?

SK Service is the SoftKeys service. If it's running, you get a curly arrow in a circle that allows you to bring up the home, back, menu, and search buttons. It should be installed by default if you autonooter. Otherwise, it's available in the Dev section of the forum.
I removed the jobmanager.apk and wish to remap the Task Manager button that appears when you long press home. Is there any method to change this?
I'm looking for a way to simulate pressing the "Home" hardware key at the bottom, to return to the Sense home tab, without actually pressing that key. I have seen several programs which can take over things like taps on the "X" button or even top taskbar clock, but although they can be set to close or minimize the active program, they don't seem to be able to achieve the same effect as pressing the "Home" key.
The closest I've been able to come is wktask which can assign the "Show Today" action to the "X" soft button, but it doesn't work so well with WM 6.5.X versions due to other glitches and incompatibilities, so is not ideal.
Is there any such program that can simulate the "Show Today" action, ideally by a tap on the top taskbar clock? So that the hardware key can be bypased?
quite easily:
you can create a link to Home link (found in start Menu) which will return to home sence tab.
This can be linked to anything that can select a shortcut as a function.
Example being Utask, this gives extra function to x screen-button & start menu button by long press on these screen buttons, long press mapped to Home.lnk & you got what you want.
Mortscript could also be useful in setting these sort of things up.
Thanks for the reply and advice. However on the rom that I am using (Artemis) there is no "Home" shortcut available via the start menu. In another rom (Energy) I do see this shortcut in the start menu, but am unable to find it as a file in \Windows\Start Menu\ and so I have no way of creating a link to it or pointing to it in the options for uTask.
Can anyone provide instructions for finding or creating this "Home" shortcut so that I can implement it as desired? If anyone is able to locate it as a file/link on their rom, is it possible to upload it here to this thread so that I can copy it onto my device?
Or any other ideas?
The home link is basically a link to: ManilaShortcut.exe
with parameter: home
You can set this up in utask to one of its touch buttons by setting it to launch- ManilaShortcut.exe
found in windows folder & adding parameter- home
If you do not have ManilaShortcut.exe I will upload it & shortcuts I have for it.
Thanks Mister B, the instructions as posted above worked as desired and I am now able to switch back to the Sense Home Tab at any time from any application, by tapping on the top taskbar clock. This is exactly what I wanted to accomplish.
Doing a "minimize" was already possible by default with uTask, but that would not always take you right back Home if you had other apps open and running behind the current foreground one. Now it's one-click to return home while leaving everything open and running.
Very much appreciated.
