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
Thanks to MiToNiOeS for iPhoneToday : Original thread

That's it ... hope it helps

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 fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.
mrloltime said:

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

Hello guys.
I've got the same problem.
I lost my 4x1 stock power control widget (the one with brightness ctrl) since i have install the damned Xloud.
And i realise i can't put another widget where it was in the past( grey area ).
Where can we download it ?
I also realise i don't have auto brigthness. Is that normale ?
Thanks
I miss the power widget from 2.2.1 ROM
Yeah i miss my power control widget too
Is there a way to get rid of xLoud so i can get the power control widget again?
I was on original S.E. 2.3.3 gingerbread...
I've also rooted it.....
Even more so.. The place where i used to have the power control widget on my homepage.. I can't put anything there now.. and I can't remove it either.... Like If i long press on the place where the power control widget used to be... It says 'Add to Home Screen' but i can't put anything there nor can i put any apps/games on where the old power control widget used to be?
Im on Ericks 2.3.3 ROM so I don't have xloud or know if xloud removes the power control widget.
You could try this and see if it works, if it doesnt maybe try to get rid of xloud and install it.
Just save it to sd card, find it with explorer and launch it, then restart your phone...
It's pretty cool, transparent aswell
Hi.
Unfortunatly i can't install your settings.apk even if i use root explorer or Flashtool
Maybe you can make a settings.zip, So i can install it with xrecovery.
Thanks for your help.
I've also a X10i with 2.3.3 Rom...
Hi, I have the same problem here, Xloud made my Powercontrol Widget disappear!
I can't even place nothing in that place, It's like still locked...
Any help?

Hi guy.
Finally, i use FlashTool cleaner to remove system.apk.
And install the attached one with the FS Apk installer.
After this i reinstall the one in my cleaner list to get back my configuration.
The grey area disappear with that solution...
(Still looking for the stock power control...)
Sorry for my bad English
Bye

Ok..i bought the lumia 800 on 31st jan,2012, since i found it very intresting at gsmarena....first i wanted to get the n9 but its not in our country so den i ditched the idea(regret a bit ) nyways...
Here it is...i have it..lumia 800..and flaws in a new OS are bound to be there..
1. sometimes call doesnt end...it just goes on and on till i hold the power key for about 20-30 secs(just to let ppl know dat this way it restars...cuz i heard some people leave it till battery drains out.. )
2.Battery drain, but a bit of a fix after the new update
im currently on :
OS version : 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number : 1600.2483.8106.11500
bbattery is better dan before...
bdw...i have checked navifirm and hav a firmware downloaded>>
1600.2483.8107.11501 though product code doesnt matter...seems updated...waiting for a go for a flash...lets see..
i will do it as soon as i find a way to back up the apps i downloaded..:/
pls let me knw if der is a way..thanks..
3.External sound seems bad....but i noticed dat a better audio quality actually give better sound...and headset is good as well and bluetooth headset sound quality is super!!
4. Now this is noticeable but come ppl wont complain..i guess it does need a small fix..annoying to me..
so..wen u at ur homescreen press the windows button to make sure all tiles are at default position...now notice dat the 4th tile the Tile name is half CUT..like its going below the display area...now i knw its minor but still...needs a small fix..
5.Search function in music player would hav been awesome!!! Not included!! :/ :/
6.Threads> say we hav text and facebook...thread displays all together..:/
there should hav been different thread for texts and Fb chats...sumtimes confusing..:/
7.this is also a small one...the gallery tile onli give slide show of certain pics in the gallery..:/ wouldnt it b better if we could set our own slideshow? or maybe rotate w whole album der..or mayb default settings to rotate any random pic..not just certain ones??
8.Animated lock screen!!!! would b awesome!!!!!
9.Notification lights for text or call..?? not der..:/
10.Oh and...i hop wifi hotspot will b incuded , its much needed!! as well as bluetooth file transfer!!!
realli bluetooth transfer is needed...i understand cloud but here in our country, being connected is very tough due to bad network service all over da country...very slow internet..:/
3G launched but still no support as yet..:/
bdw..do reply...i would appretiate feedback and also any swears!
bdw..i would love to help in R&D.
#3 Only the 3,5mm jack is affected. An update by Nokia is coming regarding this audio issue.
#4 I don't have that bug at all.
#7 You can set your own slideshow for gallery tile. Add those pics you want to favorites and set "shuffle background" and it will use your favorites only.
super...
ok..will look forward for the update..but wat about taking backup of apps?
i hav tried an app dat i found on the forum..but i hav sum errors..can u help?
also #4 , i will post a pic to show u...
edit :
As for #4: it's quite logic. Your screen has to end somewhere... By simply scrolling down you will be able to see the whole tile.
yeaea...but look at the end...it would b better if the tiles end a bit above the edge...this is like the tile name is half cut below....see..its just a few pixels...

Yes I see, but what would you prefer? A black border? No, that would be ugly, because then the border would have to disappear while you're scrolling. I don't think it's a bug
Ok, I'm probably being a bit slow here... how did you get that background on the tiles? Mine are solid with whatever colour I am using as a theme..

I've got to chime in on the home screen tile placement complaint. As you play with WP7, you'll notice that it's designed to never have scrollable/swipable things fully on the screen. It encourages the user to scroll/swipe and see what else there is. It's kinda like having your hand held without actually realizing it.
I actually like that SMS/facebook threads are continuous. Have you noticed that you can actually switch a conversation between FB and SMS? Having them in the same thread keeps the flow. Or, maybe it doesn't. Guess it depends on how you like it.
If you'd like your gallery live tile to be more specific, set 'favorites' in your albums. Those images are supposed to take priority in the live tile displays.
Dear members,
coming freshly to Android and the Xperia S, I've got some questions for which I didn't find an answer, yet, and hope you can somewhat enlighten me.
The phone is LTi26, running 4.0.4, rooted on a reseller contract of Germany's D2/Vodafone.
regarding the Walkman-App, am I just to blind or noobish, or is there really no option to empty the list of currently playing tracks?
at home, I've got EDGE at best and use WiFi, but on the run, I can get 3G/UMTS. Is there a simple toggle/switcher, I can change networks with a single tap, instead of always digging through the menu?
regarding GPS, if it's off and I turn it on, there's always a window popping up, telling me costs may apply, data may be send, etc. Any way to dismiss this window forever?
is it possible to remap the camera button in certain situations? F.e., when the display is off and locked, I'd love to be able to give it a double-tap and have it turn on the camera's flash. Also, if the currently visible and active app isn't the camera app, it would be nice to use this button as a 'back'-button, so I can easily push it with my pinky.
I've read, that AMOLED displays can save power, when they display mostly dark/black colors, IIRC the Xperia S has no AMOLED, but is there a similar possibility? I'm not interested in fancy wallpapers, so it wouldn't hurt me much.
I'm currently happily using the ssLauncher in replacement of Sony's, but in the widget selection, some things don't show up, f.e. the music widget and the 'extras' (on click toggles). Is this a problem of this particular launcher and is there any way to still use them in this launcher?
I've seen a thread with a video, showing how to prick open the phone and be able to exchange the battery, but are there also compatible batteries available which feature a higher capacity?
I've installed the drobear SSHd (no links for noobs), but I'm not able to connect, it always gets a timeout. Not compatibe/config issue(client in question is my Gentoo desktop)?
Other than that, I must say, I'm currently quite pleased with this phone and Android in general. Coming from Maemo, there are still some things I'd like to be able to, but so far it's a good start and so far I'm glad, I didn't opt for the One S or the Droid.
Thanks for your help, regards,
S.D.R

on Stocklauncher or the most Relpacements you can ad a Aplicationsshortcut to the launcher... an there are many Apps/Widgets in the market to bring you with one click to the Datasettings... but there is, as far as i know no way to switch with one click from 3g fo 4g - only with to clicks... also for WFI an/of you can set a Aplication to Home - the Homelauncher got a Widget for - it works with one klick . also in the Market it will gives many apps/widgets for,

Yeah, I've got NotificationToggle (or something like that) running, which get's the job done, except for GPS.
I need GPS for some things Tasker, if on but inactive GPS doesn't do to much harm, that'll be an option, though imho not perfect.
as far as i not there is at the moment no way for something like that, but i belive must be possible, but needs to root the phone and rewirten the firmware

Someone did some searching on that? I'd think it would be just a case of setting some value somewhere in /sys/ or something.

Thanks. Does that only account for real black (00/00/00, #000) or is it a general fact that say #aaa saves more battery than #bbb?

is this a matter of hiding/making available the widget to other launchers, or a technical problem in that they need some code only provided in Sony's launcher?
as i see, the Battery is a normal fitting Battery from sony, so it shuld give compatible Batteries with more Power

While I'm at it, I'm missing FM transmit functionality, as in I had it with my old phone(N900). As far as I've read, it seems, the chip really only allows receiving in hardware, so not a fully functional module with the transmitting functionality disabled, correct? If that's the case, does someone have experience with fm transmission, as in what pieces of hardware are needed? If it's rather small, I'd love to get on of the bottom pieces, the one with the xperia writing on it, add a 3.5mm jack and the hardware and add it to the top of the phone, but I guess that's wishful thinking?!
