Hi,

Since SPB Pocket Plus is not really working with the Shadow, I decided to reflash from scratch and not to use it anymore. I got everything I need from other apps, exept for one very important function.

SPB Pocket Plus has a [Close] function that you can map to a button and it actually closes the app not just sends it in the background. I use the HTC task manager to do that on the screen, but I want to map it to a button button 5 to be exact I been searching for few hours now to no avail.

Basicly to review I need to be able to close (really close) apps with a hardware button (button 5). Please help. THank you.

I use WisBar Lite for that, it works well

Yes you can

does wisbar seem to run slow on shadow for you? I stopped running it because I thought it was quite slow.

@yozh
you can also do some cool stuff with mortscript

It is bit slow the 1st time to bring up the start menu after a SR, after that seems ok.

@yozh
I mean Wisbar Lite, not Wizbar Advanced/desktop. you can't run that iphone theme with wisbar lite.
Another option (to map the CLOSE function) is AEB plus.

mortscript is a little too heavy for me

I'd recommend AE Button Plus, but I wrote VJOkButt to do this and some other stuff too.

I hope so... but remember, AE Button Plus does much more and is highly recommende.

But VJOkButt is a very focused app, for one (and a bit) functions only.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who has the actual '<close>' option in buttons in my Start>settings>buttons option? Has anyone looked?

That is what I use so I have it mapped to the usual CommManager wasted button since if you want CommManager you can simply keep the silly thing in your bar at the bottom.

Hi vijay555,
