Can anyone recommend a good tasr switcher/closer that actually works on the PDA2K.
I've tried vBaar (used on XDA2) but will not work in 2003SE.
Magic Buttons - great but screws up when the phone is on.
Any suggestions?
Mike
I use Pocket Plus, no problems yet.
wisbar and wisbar advanced are doing great too...
pocket plus seems to make my bluetooth headset to stop working...wisbar advance makes your phone unable to show incoming calls if the phone app is not initialized. I use handy switcher, it's ok.
Try using wisbar advance from www.lakeridgesoftware.com

I use Magic Button and it works ok. I do change it from on to off to get the notifications to work though (but all you have to do it tap/hold the icon).

I use handyswitcher and it is ok. I like to use my device one-handed, however, when I click on close all applications, it resets the phone. Instead I have to go to the phone screen and select close all except active. There is no option to just close the active program. I have mapped handy switcher to one of my hardware keys. If someone has something better where you can map it to a hardware button and close or switch programs let me know.
I use handy switcher and when i chose close all it works fine. No reset.

It does work much better than the previous version, but still doesn't handle screen rotation very well.

As mentioned by other writer, WA hides all phone and signal strength icons. Plus I had trouble receiving incoming ph calls. Chris is working on a PPC phone edition version which I understand is almost ready for Beta testing. SPB Plus 2.2 version is working ok here.

I use SPB Pocket Plus... it isn't freeware, but it is absolutely the best task managing app I've found for the PPC.

Hi Mike,
Just tried this program, it's great speedy program. I am not sure why, but the front in smallmenu comes out quite big (unlike the one in their website). I looked everywhere to see if I can reduce the front size. Any suggestion?

Okay, so this is the problem now. I finally found the program and installed it. Now i Can't seem to connect online via USB. Is there a problem with the program? I uninstalled the program and still can't connect online via USB. Any leads? I was able to connect only just before installing the program.

I can't reproduce your problem. My device networks fine via USB after using the webcam software.
I have activesync installed, but don't have it set up with a partnership for my device (using oggsync instead). Does your activesync sync with your device?
Anything unusual in your network connections settings?
Have you tried a system restore to an earlier point?
HTH.
i had purchased the software and e mailed the company for unlock code.
Given my device id to them but the cab doesnt work.
i had changed my rom with black 2.0 and my radio is 1.4
any idea what could be wrong?

Do you mean that you changed the rom after emailing your device ID? If so, it could well be that your device ID has changed - have a look in your system info screen (as directed by ateksoft) to see if it matches what you sent them.
I had similar issue after changing roms - they sent me a new code.

The smaller the resolution that faster you will get... but by fast ... i mean 7 fps ... LOL
The framerate depends on the resolution and quality settings you are running at, if you turn the quality and resolution down you can get a good frame rate.
I run the resoultion at 640 x 480 and quality 70/E and the frame rate is fine.
I know this has been asked many times about remapping of ok button on front of hermes .....i also have reassigned the ok button to close instead of minimize using ae button plus 2.52 but long press function of ae on OK button doesnt work....
i want that when i long press the OK button spb pocket plus menu opens whereas when i press OK button it closes the running application.
Thx in advance

got it after my xams as birthday gift....sold magician quite a time ago.now running black 4 and the ok button is really irritating me .....plz help
There are a number of threads about remapping the ok button. However, I've not seen any about the press and hold.
AE Button Plus is the best app I know/knew of for remapping. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work I'm afraid. Speak to the author of the app specifically to see if it's a known issue.

try handy switcher v3.0, it works for me
Dear Vijay555,
glad to see you somewhere in hermes forum, about ok button mapping, i know you already give us VJOkButt. your tools is my choice.
is it possible to write a tini app that simulate the click at the top corner x button so it does close running app via HTC-xbutton, and we safe to close everything phone,activesync..? or this is useless?
thanks Vijay
VJOkButt already has a mode to emulate clicking the top right close button I think -
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt
-justclick
simply click the existing ok button (for compatibility with other task managers)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
VJOkButt has code built in to not close various important apps that would crash the system. But closing things like the phone is possible,
-phclose
will force the phone to close, not minimise, to save extra memory (but will cause minor incompatibility with dialing from contacts - reload with VJTogglePhone or launching cprog.exe)

With so many 6.5 ROM's coming out now I'm curious if anyone uses MS Voice Command with a BT headset?
Theres quite a few versions available on the internet and I have found one that works and works with a BT headset. I use the Jabra BT8010 but I would imagine it will work with any headset.
I attached a screen shot of my version number so you can search for it..
I can't live without my MS VC and so far this version has worked with every 6.5 ROM I have loaded.

It has no Live Wallpaper support because it's still alpha release.
And this feature has lower priority than other stuff that have to be fixed.

It won't have live wallpaper anytime soon. They are not worth fixing because they drain battery crazy fast and are darn slow on our devices. I think they were disabled on purpose in FroYo.

Hi, dedalum!
On Blackstone BT does not work, wifi and data works, camera.... I'll test it! (I think it wont work) --Tested, but the news are bad!
The old kernels does not work with Gingerbread, so camera does not work, yet!
I tried two different kernels, for the camera testing and for the anti-audio stuttering MOD, in the both cases it cant reach the homescreen.
As nasko_spasko mentioned, camera seems out of reach for the moment...
I also asked in VirusCrazy's camera testing thread, and he also gives Gingerbread "low chance", something for the future...
But I should add that there is (probably more than one) kernel out here that fixes audio stuttering, I'm using Gingerbread with a modified 1253 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11169582&postcount=76
Audio and Wifi great, battery life ~ 20-30 hours (using periodic data for ClockSynch and some weather sync, but nothing else)
Cheers,
Robbert

The audio is the most important issue for me.
I have GBX0A running with 1255 kernel. It's the only one that doesn't give me audio-stuttering since Gingerbread won't boot with the 1498 kernel.
The latest kernels 1260/1262 both work but give audio-stutter.
Only thing i'd like is a new rootfs with keymapping for Blackstone like in the rootfs from 2011-01-31.

Keyboard is a known issue.
Recommendation: get Thumb keyboard from Market. It's free and has different layouts and looks.
Fix for alignment squares: use old ts-calibration file from another build, or use the one attached below. Just remove the extension and put it in the same folder as haret and startup.

Use build in Japan IME. It has Latin characters on the numeric keyboard (like in non touchscreen phones). Should be enough to log into market and download gingerbread keyboard.
