Kudos to vp3G for this newer cab

Thanks to Kipe.

[caliplaya209]

can there be a button assigned to close apps with this program? like the ptt button...i will get rid of pocket plus if there can be

[TBCompDesign]

It doesnot look like there is. unless the application can be "launched" with a switch. Creating a shortcut to the app with the switch in the command would work.

Does anyone know if this is this or the previous version of the software can do this?

What's the name of the file? I can't locate it in the Uploads folder.

[Pumpiron579]

Will it overwrite Version 1.0?

[Vinger]

This task manager already part of LVSW 3.30.09:)

[Pumpiron579]

Black 3.0.1 has the older version. Just wondering if it will over write the files or give me 2 versions... Done that before

[kipe]

Wiki updated!!! :D

thanks bro.. was about to do the same.. u beat me to that :D

[Marc83]

Thanks alot for posting, but how do I add programs to the exclusive list? All I see is a greyed out "remove" button!

[lpsi2000]

Nice, very much appreciate.

[randomelements]

Nice one, thanks :D

[moutheater]

Anyone figure out how to put programs in the Exclusive Programs List yet? I got a couple I would like it to ignore.

[Mark Crouch]

What's the name of the file? I can't locate it in the Uploads folder.

OK, so it's in /Uploads/Upload - or >HERE< (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Upload/HTC-X-Button1.5.cab) - it's called "HTC-X-Button1.5.cab"

Mark.

[TheGenix]

I don't see the task manager part of this when I install it.

[senergy]

Its called X-button in settings.
As for the exculsive list. There is a reg key called "StopExclusive" in HKCU/Software/HTC/TaskManager
But im not sure what to put in there to add a program to the Exclusive list.

[jk30213]

This is awesome... I loved the first one soooo much, and I didn't think it could get better

[sherpa]

OK, so it's in /Uploads/Upload - or >HERE< (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Upload/HTC-X-Button1.5.cab) - it's called "HTC-X-Button1.5.cab"

Mark.

Man, I swear that it was not there when I looked earlier! :D

[senergy]

Figured out the exclusive list
Need to add some registry settings in
HKCU/Software/HTC/TaskManager/StopExclusive/

Add a String with
Name=(the executable)
String=Program Name

Eg:
Name: MobileCalculator
String:Calculator

This then adds Calculator to the exclusive list and off the running programs list.

[Huey85]

omg thats mad stuff. thanks for this!

[hshortt]

This is a handy utility. I've just stopped using SPB Pocket Plus for the first time in years, I was only using it for this utility!

[nologin]

Is it possible to assign a hardware button to call up the program list? This makes it more convenient to switch between task, without having to go back to today screen.

Thank you.

[shogunmark]

has anyone had a problem with this app?? i installed it on my device and now i have a battery meter that covers up the time on my top bar... i uninstalled it and now it wont go away... i checked all the reg settings in the cab, everything appears ok... i also check out the normal reg keys and still cant anything to make it go away.. anyone else experience this?

Sorry, but i have installed over Black 3.0.1 without any modification over time indicator on the top bar, and works fine.

I suppose you have modify the clock on the top bar and this are given you the issue.

..I did installed the apps to black 3.01 & despite regedit the top bar to show battery meter and the single line date to show the clock in it, no problem with the task manager bro.. showing as it should, working flawlessly too..

[rockky]

I'd like these functions mapped to OK.

hey
I have the 'In Close Mobile X' program.......mapped to the side press button.
It seems to do the same thing, I believe...

[IronManDS]

Anyone else having problems with spb Weather and this program when the Today feature is enabled? When I enable the Today feature, the program changes the font color of Weather to black, thereby making it impossible to see against my black background.

Any help would be, um, helpful.

No, I have Weather in PB tab and for some reason it works. I am having problem with SPB Time. The font turned black after installing this cab(X-button).

i actually didnt modify the clock, etc, just installed this cab... i did finally make it go away though... after i un-installed the cab it was still there.. which is when i checked the registry and everything was cool, even soft reset 3 times... so finally, i went into the settings menu, went to clock&alarms, i unchecked the "display clock in title bar", then powered the phone off using the power button, after i powered it back on the battery meter was gone, i went back in and checked to show the clock and all is fine now...

[eaglesrest]

hi,

anyone figured out how to exclude messaging?

i think the exe's are tmail.exe and poutlook.exe but the program name changes depending on which account is selected.

ta

[eaglesrest]

ok, figured it....

value name: Tmail.exe
data: anything, e.g. Messaging

this stops duplicate text messages from being sent when you close messaging before the text message is actually sent!

[rockky]

can't remember where I got the program (freeware somewhere)...but it has the same menu as far as I can see as Htc....and XLauncher, btw)
and is in the buttons menu and I assigned it to the side press button.

Hey how do you get the sub-menu with the Activiate/Add Exclusive option?

[ronfin44]

This app was buggy for me and wouldn't shut down "messaging". Kept saying it was busy. Uninstalled it, and everythings back to workin a 100%. I'm running Black 1.2 :)

[senergy]

derkie: i think yours is actually working correctly and the rest of ours isnt. I cant get the submenu to come up at all, no holding/selecting/jumping up and down will bring it up.

What ROM are you running?

[kipe]

guys.. to activate and includes running progs just click once in the running prog list..

[senergy]

Kipe: taping once does nothing for me.
Obviously it is working for you, what ROM are you using?

I'm using LVSW 3.30.0.9 ROM.

Guys, don't know where you are getting all the new great program updates from HTC. But... can anyone post the HTC Plus! today plugin recently released with HTC P3350 (Love). It should be much better than current e-mail today plugin.

[esseff]

What is everyone raving about!

I can't believe this has been release by HTC. Certainly seems like some beta or alpha build.

Icon is flakey as hell (sometimes OK sometimes X and sometimes the new icon) and the Exclusions list doesn't even work!

Blah keep it.

[bvdorsten]

Hi All,

It's very easy to add programs to the exclusive list.
Start the program you want te exclude
Go to X-Button options (trough today-icon, or Settings => System => X-Button
Go to the Running tab
Tap on the name of the program you want te exclude
Choose Add Exclusive
Very easy!

Enjoy!

Figured out the exclusive list
Need to add some registry settings in
HKCU/Software/HTC/TaskManager/StopExclusive/

Add a String with
Name=(the executable)
String=Program Name

Eg:
Name: MobileCalculator
String:Calculator

This then adds Calculator to the exclusive list and off the running programs list.

But this isn't working for users on different rom versions. The 'tapping' doesn't produce the option to add exclusive.

cheers

[rjgarcia]

Hi,

It works for me, but after some tries. Perhaps you, as me at the beginning, are thinking about tap&hold the application name you want to exclude to bring the menu (the usual way), no, it's only a tap and the menu brings.

Dosn't work for me. Tap only one or tap&hold or tap while selected or tap&hold while selected makes ths same result: nothing...

I have Black 3.0.1 now.

[kipe]

I have Black 3.0.1 now.

maybe there is a need to uninstall and/or manually delete (completely) the built-in task manager in black ROM before proceeding with installing this version of HTC X-Button.. unfortunately can't try that since I am back on LVSW 3.30.0.9..

[PuckX]

Dude this is fricken awsome, compliments my Black 3.01 nicely! You and JJ are my heroes.

[Jygar]

OMG this is amazing, I used to use InClose Mobile Express (4Mb install!), but now that this has the same functionality I have made the full switch.

Its frickin cool!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[truciet]

I've removed it from my TyTN, and I'm sticking with the Pocket Plus Close Button.

[kadooosh]

nvm fixed it

[nispen]

Could it be that installing 1.5 OVER 1 causes the tap submenu not to function? I upgraded that way, and I do not get the submenu.

[crazyC]

Anyone solved the issue with SPB weather font going black?
If not I will try and look at it over the next day or two - presumably it changes a default font colour somewhere.

[crazyC]

Actually, it seems JJ is excluding this from Black 3.5 so I will put looking for a fix onto the back burner.
Should anyone beat me to it, please do share however.....

[The Lazy Slug]

Anyone solved the issue with SPB weather font going black?

Try http://www.softspb.com/downloads/weather/SpbWeather767_setup.exe

Its a build mentioned in the SPB Weather forum http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3393

It sorted out the problem for me.

[marscandybars]

Sorry folks, but i need a lil help. This has been driving me crazy. I'm assuming that in the X-button options, the "exclusive programs list" are the programs that will stay open after you press the x button (an exception list if u will)

I want to set it so when i click x, it will close the programs immediately. I was able to do that, but i want to add "exceptions" to this rule. For example, i want the text msg/e-mail program to stay open at all times, cuz it takes bout 3 seconds or so to load up every time if it is completely closed.

My question is, how do you add programs to the exclusive list? I have been trying to figure this out for some time now...

Any help would be appreciated :)

Does not work with 2.15.502.3 where HTC X Button version 1.0 build 2766 is already installed. Cab install fine but it does not change version number after succefull installtion. Any one have any idea how get version 1.0 out?

[Scrog]

I've had this issue through several ROM's since installing this (or if it came with the ROM): Changes to the Today screen require a soft reset to register: change in the order of apps or removing/adding a today plug in. Seen in Black 2.5 and 3.0; Custel 1.3, 2.5 and Elf's (LVSW) ROM.

Anybody else having this issue

Anybody else having this issue

In the Sleuth255 LVSW version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308019 he says:

Here are the known issues:
* when you delete the last note in OneNote it doesn't refresh the list and the note appears to not be deleted until you restart OneNote again.
* On the Today screen, X-Box changes the font on SPB weather and SPB Time to Black (only happens if "Enable Today X button" is selected). SPB has posted a fix for SPBWeather here
* Unable to add programs to the X-Box exclusive list without reghacks.
* If only the "Enable the X button to end running programs" option is checked int X-Button, the today screen won't refresh when you change the items unless you SR. The today items work normally if any other combination is selected in the button tab.

The last issue can be the solution for the XButton issue with Today Themes...

Regards.

[arnev]

This is a great tool, thx for sharing this :)

[bfjosue]

Here is another version of X-Button... tested on my Wizard and Exclusive list works from end programs window.

[vp3G]

That cab contains a few superfluous files, although it definitely has the correct resource file needed for the Exclusive menu to function. :)

[stan23]

Right, the CAB from post #85 is working on Black 3.0, although being the same build as the one postet before (1.5.29196).

Here is another version of X-Button... tested on my Wizard and Exclusive list works from end programs window.

Good job bro.. will add this to 1st post! :D Kudos!

[cuccureddu]

Well, if anyone is still having problems with the HTC app, here is an alternative I am using (also mentioned in an earlier post, but no CAB).

This is the old freeware version of InClose (no longer available, I believe)

It's got everything the HTC app has, but also adds screen rotate and reset functions in the drop-down task list menu.

I've mapped it to the voice recorder button and it works very well. I've not tested it on the latest WM6 ROMs (still using one of the first ones - works for me...).

I would post screenshots but no time right now. Anyway, just something to try for those of you with the today screen and SPB weather issues.

if your on about the app that shows you what programs are running, then that is the htc x-button, you need to open htc x -button, go to button, and then tick enable x=button on today screen

if your on about the app that shows you what programs are running, then that is the htc x-button, you need to open htc x -button, go to button, and then tick enable x=button on today screen

I've found that when running, it interferes with Spb Weather: it actually prevents the city names from showing up. Disabling it immediately resolves the problem.

I have Spb Weather and this does not cause a problem. I am using both just fine.

[LordDeath]

i had a similar problem and told this on an other forum. they gave me a link to spb weather 1.7.0 build 767, which fixed this bug. but i don't have the link anymore :(

edit: i don't like the new build. it shows entry like "desktop" or "programs" and if i try to close one of them, the device has to softreset.
btw, there is a newer build within this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316617)

If your country code is 0409:
1. Before install X-Button, use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui.bak
2. Install X-Button, restart

If your country code is not 0409 (0404 for example):
1. Install X-Button , DO NOT restart yet!
2. Use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui.bak
3. Use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui
4. Restart

43682 43683 43684

And X-Button version 1.5 should be fine.

If you dunno what's your country code, just go check \windows\WLanMgr.exe.****.mui
That **** will be your country code then.

Good Luck!:)

Partly solved, it draws the screen properly, but it still soft resets. If you use stop all, somehow x-button 1.51 dies and you get the standard x, then if attempt to kill a running program you get an error that leads to soft reset.

[cafpeter]

Just tried "kill all" with one excluded by myself, no problem at all.
How about reinstall 1.5 (not 1.51)?

[simple]

1.5 works for me!!

[anon730]

Really thanks!

[kipe]

been running vp3G's 1.50 version (not the latest 1.51 even) with the latest Dopod ROM ..no problem at all, the task manager is working like it shud.. see screenshots below

[qbom]

Hi
I´am using x-button v1.51 till now no problem all ok, and working 100%.

A question to the developer of this app is it possible put working a cascading menu for Start menu, if that append with this stabillity we have a 200% app.

Thanks in advance
Jorge

I'm running Version 1.5 (Build 29196) but am having a problem that I didn't notice until I went to try to make a program exclusive... tapping and holding does not bring up the drop down menu nor is there a softkey "menu" button in the lower left of my screen.

Anyone have an idea what I've boned up now?

Thanks.

never mind, for some reason my computer made it seem as a zip file, and i extracted it

[steb0ne]

v1.5 Working fine on my Mogul too

[stoker1]

After making a phone call, I use X button (on any version) and I can't seem to close out the "phone" using the 'X" button. This happened with all sorts of Roms that I have tried. Can anyone tell me if they have the same problem? The dial pad disappears by using ok or end button, but the Red X with phone beside it is still there, and x'ing it doesn't work.Any solutions welcome.thx

[Melie19]

Hey yall,
I'm new to the forum and the mogul and i realize that this is a non techie question so please bear with me:
How, pray tell, do i download the cab? Do i save it to the mogul and then sync and then open it? please treat me like a 5 year old and walk me through it; b/c all the applications running at the same time and me having to constantly go to memory to shut em down is a bit ridiculous.

Appreciate any and all comments. Thanks much:D

[Hai-zi]

FYI:
HTC_X-Button v1.50 worked flawlessly but v1.51 was not handled well on my PocketPC. It gives me a "Shell" pop-up windows stating An unhandled error has occurred in the shell. Attempting to restart the shell.

[HunterST]

I'm running 1.51 as part of VP3G's most excellent wm6 ROM - runs great, I can add excludes and close whatever whenever.

But it doesn't work with the 5-way navigator buttons - tap the "x" on the today screen, down arrow doesn't do anything). Is this the case for everyone else too?

Hey, I have been using X-Button for awhile now but stumbled and switched to this new app...called SmallMenuPlus. This acts as a task manager with animated menus, cascading menus, you can keeps your regular start menu as well, power off button function, and also can be mapped to a hardware button so that it can be called up anytime. The best thing about is it takes up only 59.5kb.

I don't think I can live without this app anymore....SOOO GOOD! Give it a try!!!

I have been using this app for years. The problem is, it does not automatically close an application when you hit the X - unless I have not been using it properly.

[Hagow]

I use it in conjunction with X-Button. I don't enable the X-Button menu icon but I set it so that it closes programs when I tap and hold down "X". Along with SmallMenuPlus it works wonders.

Or you can set it just in SmallMenuPlus to only allow any number of programs to run at any given time, otherwise it will close them.

I use it the way you are suggesting. It is quite a nice application.

Just installed HTC_X-Button v1.51 and it is working great. Very convenient program manager!

Finally I have someone to confirm the "unable to close phone app" due to the HTC X program. I had that problem too in all the Universal WM5 or WM6 ROM's until I figured out that it was the program causing the problem.

Been running without it for 5 days now & the problem seems solved. Thanks stoker1 for bringing up this issue .

Each of these tends to point toward missing registry entries with the 1.51 version, however it's hard to say for sure without knowing the build numbers.

[HerrVorragend]

If your country code is 0409:
1. Before install X-Button, use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui.bak
2. Install X-Button, restart

If your country code is not 0409 (0404 for example):
1. Install X-Button , DO NOT restart yet!
2. Use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui.bak
3. Use Resco Explorer to change \windows\taskmgrres.dll.0409.mui to taskmgrres.dll.0404.mui
4. Restart

43682 43683 43684

And X-Button version 1.5 should be fine.

If you dunno what's your country code, just go check \windows\WLanMgr.exe.****.mui
That **** will be your country code then.

Good Luck!:)

thanks for that informatione... but when i try to rename or delete the original file (0407) resco-explorer says, that the file is part of the rom and can not be deleted... what can I do now?

Real sweet, thanks for this handy hack, kipe!;)

[akcrosby815]

[sanwijay]

Guysss can someone confirm that x-button worked in XDA ZINC ? TIA.

[Mika7012]

Where can i found HTC X-Button V2 , Oem or Cab ???

[Ch@rly]

Does the last version (v1.5?) make it possible to close the programs while pressing on key “OK”?
Thank you

Where can i found HTC X-Button V2 , Oem or Cab ???HTX X-Button 2.0 Build 30487 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330046)

[stoker1]

I have tried numerous "X" button programs, and I have the same problem with all of them, including the last one 2 version, even after after hard reset. The X button has either an extremely hard time closing down the Phone Dial pad app. (the one that comes up when you press the green talk button), or minimum, if it does manage to close, you still see the Phone app. in the X button menu that is still there, but no X beside it. You don't really know if it is still using resources by sitting there. I use Schaps 3.54C now, and as I said, have great difficulty closing down the dial pad. The OK button does a more reliable job in actually making the Dialpad screen go away, but the menu item showing phone still is showing up.. Sometimes, you can see , after hitting the X button, by either way,hold or tick, you can see the Xbutton appl over and over again trying to shut down the phone, sometimes 10 or more times, before the phone pad screen is taken off to show the Today screen. I would like to know if anyone else has similar problem, and what corrective measure they might have taken. Thx

I use X Button 1.51, an excellent utility, but I have noticed an apparent anomaly.

Using X Button, I can close down all of my running programs, or so I think, so that none show on the X Button drop down menu. But, if I go to System, Running Programs, I see that Comm Manager is still running! I can only close down the Comm Manager through Running Programs as it never appears as an active program on X Button.

There are no programs in my Exclusive List.

Any ideas guys?

Just confirmed the above issue also exists in X-Button Version 2.0. Why?

There's an internal exclusion list at [HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\APPS].

:D

Thanks, vp3g, but this doesn't appear to be the answer.
I have edited the exclusion list in the registry, in my case Item 8, Comm Manager. After a soft reset, Comm Manager still does not appear in the X Button menu, but does in Running Programs. I have confirmed that it no longer exists in HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\APPS.

[vp3G]

I haven't had any luck editing the list either, HS. Not sure what the reg key's purpose is, quite frankly.

I am somewhat amazed at the attention given to this app when it seems, at best, to be a second rate task switcher.

Why would anyone bother with this? Other than being able to set [X] to close instead of minimise it seems to be a fairly useless app.

It is only functional as a task manager when you are at the Today screen, and inaccessible when you are in any other app (unless I have missed something).

Why would you use this when you could use any of the other free task managers, that have far more functionality? e.g:
PBar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284952
TMan - http://pda.jasnapaka.com/tman/releases/0.9.8.php
SmartTask - http://www.fraganestis.com/chthon/software/SmartTask/
WKTask - http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html

Given the time and commitment these authors have given to their apps they would seem to be far more worthy of the attention being shown here than HTC X-Button is.

Just thoughts, please do not read this as flame bait as that is not the intention. I do want to know if I have seriously missed something.

Cheers,
JC

You are quite right. PBar is a superior task manager in every respect, but X-Button is in most ROMs released by the chefs, and cannot easily be removed. For us poor 'users' rather than 'developers', we are stuck with X-Button, and are trying to make it work.

[jgermuga]

So several people have asked but I see no answer. Can you map this to a hardware button? Not the full task manager with the check boxes, but the small upper right hand corner list.

I used to use Inclose on WM5, and it works great, but with WM6, it seems this is included in the ROM and conflicts with Inclose.

If all you really want to do is make the X button close, then just unzip the attached file anywhere and execute smclose.exe (click on it again to close it). If you want to set and forget, then create a shortcut to smclose.exe in the Windows\StartUp folder.

At only 8kb, the exe doesn't take up much space or resources and your system doesn't slow down a bit. This puts the HTC app to shame (a 243kb cab that does such a simple thing is a pretty extreme example of bloat if you ask me).

All the credit goes to Y. Nagamidori of GSPlayer fame.

I also think X-Button is a bit overrated. I think another good one missing in jcrayon's overview is the Close Button in Spb Pocket plus, it does about the same, but it allows you to use hold or guestures to show the task manager or minimize the app.

[S.V.I]

Yes you can. go to start/settings/personal tab/ buttons/ set wahtever button you desire to <OK/Close> it is almost at the top of the list uder Assign Program.


As far as using anything but X-Button1.51: most other programs take up space and reasourses... and ram... and startup time... and etc.

The way you make today screen button active to stop certain programs is:
Start/Today - - - - You now have acces to the taskmanager on your today screen without having quit any programs.
Hope that helps. Have a nice day:)

Close button in SPB Pocket plus is good, I just don't like SPB Pocket plus!!
