I want the OK button to EXIT apps!

---

Does anyone know how to ALWAYS make the "ok" hardware button exit any running applications? I basically never want to have to use my thumb to touch the X onscreen to close an app ever again.

By default all Windows Mobile devices leave applications running when you press X. I turned on HTC's Task Manager so that when I clikc the X it exits the app. But even with the HTC task manager setting on, if you use the hardware "ok" button the app is still running in the background.

Is there a way to edit the registry or something to make the hardware "ok" button always EXIT whatever app I'm running??

You can assing Software to the hardwarebuttons by "start - settings - buttons" then choose OK-button and assinge HTC X-Button to it.

Try AEButton Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) to connect the button to an "real exit"-Application, like VJok-Button (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt)

Have you even TRIED what you're suggesting? This does not work. The HTC exit button program is not in the list, because it's not a normal program, it's like an addition to the windows mobile OS. HTC task manager isn't' a program that stays running. it's a setting, so it ain't in the list.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finallly!!! Thank you so much!!! This works perfectly. I only needed VJok-button, not the other app. Now this makes operating the phone with one hand sooooo much easier.


Thanks again!!

Indeed - i never uses HTC taskman. I´m using I launcher. But there are 100 programs for closing apps that you can assing to the hardwarebutton. VJ is one of them.

And no. I didn´t try it before posting - because my Terra is dead.

But I wanted to give you the hint that there is a possibility to assing different programs to the OK. button.

lol


And thanks for the explanation of HTC taskmanager...

The mother of Task Manager software & Button3.

1. Task Manager
   • Pretty.
   • Clean.
   • Don't show big options item menu.
   • Can add some addition item menu or none.
   • Click [x] button to really exit application.
   • Show real icon from running application.
2. Hardware button (Button3) can really exit application.
   • [ok] is ok.
   • [x] is really exit application.

I can sleep tight now after reaserch 8 hrs. and reading many articles here.
