Favourite Trinity Program

[MontAlbert]

My phone company, 3, have just released these finally in Oz and am heading out to get one tomorrow.

Now is the best time to ask everyone what are their favourite programs they have installed on the Trinity? Saves me searching around forever.... :D

I need one that closes all programs totally (so they dont continue to run in the background), switches what hard buttons do (unless you can do that automatically), plus whatever else people think i need......

I thought this would be a good thread for all newbies and others who want to know what are the best ways to pimp up their Trinity.

thanks

You can stop all running programs from Start button->Settings->System->Memory.
Also the new ROM i got has an option somewhere with the ability to change the behaviour on the closebutton.. It says HTC menu util or something similar.

Get magicbutton (for the task closing), its free and works fine....

It's under START->Settings->System->Task Manager.
It has 2 options;
1) End programs by tapping X
2) End programs by taping and holding X

MagicButton sucks pretty hard, the last version has some issues with the telephone application (it doesnt close it).

The most kick ass application you'll ever get for your trin is this one:

Spb Mobile Shell: This a pretty good application that enhance your today screen with tabbed menus and give you alot of nice features like enhanced menus, task manager and alot of other cool features.

Another kick ass application that it's a must is this one:

SKTools v3.1.3: I think it's self explanatory.

My 2 cents :)

Thank you for the attention.

thanks for that. what are the programs down the bottom where you can have all the shortcuts on the today page? The one with the tabs for Big,Apps, Car,etc plus the little icons below that....... same program?

That is my only shortfall of this beautiful phone- the lack of shortcuts i can program.

Matterhorn, it looks like you would benefit in battery time and also speed, by using the option to properly close your apps rather than minimise them when pressing the X button. I am judging this by all the apps that appear to be open in the bottom of your today screen.

The apps at the bottom of the screen are all just shortcuts, they aren't running. The program iLauncher allows you to make shortcuts at the bottom of the today screen. These are the apps that I use very often and don't want look for them. The other groups of shortcuts "Big", "Apps" etc. are also part of iLauncher and I make the icons big so I can use my fingers to launch the apps. I have iLauncher programmed to close some apps with the X while other programs are not allowed to be closed with the X, such as Messaging, Mortplayer, IE etc. I use the "close all" option when I really want a clean system. Believe me, I don't let apps run unless I need them running :) .

how do you make it so the ilauncher bar is all the way down the bottom of the screen? mine sits about halfway up....

Montalbert,

Go to start>settings>today>items select program shown and select move up or down!

It is a bit tricky because when you have items in your calendar plug-in it moves the whole today screen up and down. That is why I use TodayAgenda instead, it is an app that allows you to set the length of your Task and Calendar list. This way you only scroll within TodayAgenda and not the whole screen. This makes it possible to make the iLauncher stay at the bottom. You just have to set iLauncher to manual height and experiment until you get the proper height for your today screen.
I hope that helps :)
