Task Manager Suggestions?

[Sideburnt]

I'm looking for a task manager that I can launch with a hard button with the help of AEButton,

in which I can scroll though my open programs using the scroller not the touch screen and close each in turn or close all.

I've tried a lot and they all either;

- They dont have the facility to use the buttons as a scroller, touch only.

- They cant be launched to open using a hardware button, as in the program launches but all I get is the little cross, dot button appear in the top right of my today screen, not actually open the task manager.

- Or they dont have the facility to close all apps.

there must be a simple little program that does this, and im starting to feel like i've tried them all...

I can distantly remember using a version on RomEOS 1.2.1 but cant find any reference to it, it allowied me to 'check' each program and close them, and launched as an actual program, rather than enabling a cross on my today screen. And it wasn;t HTC Taskmanager.

Any suggestions you lovely people? I think one handed PPC use is they way to go and this is frustraiting me.

Install SPB Pocket Plus
Soft reset
Go to Settings-Buttons
Assign "Alt-Tab" on any button you want.
Press button, see all open prg's and scroll with the wheel to the one you want, press wheel and you are there.

Hi,

ever tried WkTask (http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html)(freeware) ?

Quickmenu does the trick for me. Much better than WKTask. Also freeware. X button closes the app, gives a PC feel to menus and you don't ever have to use stylus.

Thanks for the replies

tried both WKTask and Quickmenu, but evenually settles on HandySwitcher, turned out to be a bonus that you can customise the colours, since i have a white background and couldn't read the white text on the menu.

Success!

Why wouldn't you use the task switching part of phoneAlarm?

You can set the default function to the switcher and be managing open tesks with 2 button pushes.

I second Quickmenu. Once you click the exe once it'll auto start after soft resets. Goto the settings and customize the startmenu the way you want. I set mine up to have Running programs first and that set to be shown as submenu and then it allows you the close one or close all feature, quickmenu popout second, then a break and then program, settings, and office folders all set to submenus and then my regular programs as links below. I can control it all with my finger or with the jog dial. Retains your windows TSK theme and if you set it to replace windows start menu it is like the other never existed. Excellent program and very lightweight. To fix the text issue I use UI Tweaker. Also helps me match the color to my TSK better. Just my personal preference.
