Is the Treo Pro Task Manager available as a Cab?

[xdalaw]

I have an 800w, and was hoping to find the 320x320 TP HTC task manager.
I've tried the other one's floating around and even some modified to work with Real VGA on a 320x320 screen, but none work with a regular 320x320 screen.

here's the files.
now you just need to make the cab. :)

Actually, you might be able to just copy the attached files to the 800

Thanks Berd.

I wish I knew how to "cab" it up so that if it went awry, I could just uninstall it via add/remove.

I might just dump the files in my Windows directory and see what happens, but I'm not confident that it'll work right if I do it that way.

I was thinking, though. Perhaps I could download and install one of the other HTC TM cabs, and then overwrite the files it installs with these from the Pro. Then, theoretically, an uninstall of the TM might result in uninstalling the replacement files...

Either way, do a Backup first (Sprite or Otherwise).
That way you can always do a Restore and undo any issues that may arise.

Well, I needed to do a real hard reset anyhow, so before I did, I just dumped it all in my Windows folder. No luck.

Perhaps someone else with more knowledge than me can figure this one out.

Thanks again for the ROM dump, Berd. I'm betting some good use will come of it via zbop, hannip, ebag, etc.

Has anyone found a way to activate the HTC Quick Menu from a button? The Task Manager is great for stopping programs but the HTC version also allows switching between running programs. Unfortunately, it requires a thumb press on the screen top right, an awkward place for me to reach as a lefty. I can't seem to find any exe that does that function. Anyone found it?

Thanks,
Mike

For the Palm Treo Pro, press [OPTION]+[OK] to quickly access the task manager

For the Task Manager you are correct. But that only allows you to stop programs. I am looking for a way to start the Quick Menu (a part of the HTC Task Manager package) that allows stopping and switching between programs that is only available from the X close on the today screen. I have tried all the apps that are named quick*, task*, tsk*, qtask*, etc but cannot find the one that runs the drop down Quick Menu. It is possible it is one of the DLL's that can only be started by another app.

Thanks,
Mike

Or just keep the OK button pressed...

Yes you are write. But this opens the Task Manager, not the task manager quick menu.

Thanks.

The Treo Pro has the built-in WM task manager (taskmgr.exe) in the windows directory. I created a shortcut to my programs and use it instead of the HTC provided one and this one workds great.

I'm pretty sure there should be some reg edits associated with this but here is a cab for it.
