Y-Tasks is actually a suite of utilities and diagnostic tools that are sure to please even the most advanced S60 user. In this review I’ll go through each of the seven components that make up the Y-Tasks suite and show you why this new freeware app is a must-have.

Filetypes
The Filetypes component allows you to view all recorded filetypes on our device and change file associations. How is that useful? Well just one example is MP3s. By default MP3 files will open in the integrated music player but now you can easily change the mapping so that they will open in a third-party player like MyStrands Social Player instead.


Apps & Tasks
This is the actual task manager component in the app. Apps & Tasks will allow to to view installed apps and running tasks and display info about each item. Beyond that you can also easily bring running tasks to the forefront and even close or kill them as you wish.


Processes
The Processes component allows you to browse through all of the processes and threads running on your device. You can view detailed info on each list item including IDs and capabilities, and you can also kill items from the main Options menu.


Crash Monitor
Here’s where Y-Tasks gets even more unique. The Crash monitor can be set to run in the background even while Y-Tasks is closed and allows you to keep a detailed record of every crash and closure that takes place on your device. This is a very useful tool, especially if you are experiencing problems with any apps on your device.

With regard to the ability to run certain components of Y-Tasks in the background, in the first screenshot at the top of this post (The Y-Tasks home screen) you can see that two icons are ‘illuminated’ in green. This indicates that they are currently running in the background and will continue to run even after Y-Tasks is exited.


Memory status
Memory status gives you a real-time view of the memory state of each drive on your device, as well as RAM. There is also a unique option to “Reserve memory”. This will reserve a block of RAM (any size you wish) and prevent it from being occupied by any app.


Trace
The Trace component is a great tool that gives you a graphical monitor of your RAM and c: drive memory status. Just like the Crash monitor, Trace can be set to run in the background even after closing Y-Tasks and will keep a continuously updated graphical consumption chart. This is a great tool for analyzing the performance effects of individual apps and really does come in handy!


Fonts
The last component in the initial Y-Tasks offering is a viewer that allows you to sample each and every font on your device. To use it you can add text manually or from a file/clipboard. Then you can access all of your existing fonts and apply them from the Options menu.

Will give it a try...;)

Very very nice app...:partyman:

Seems to be very, very interesting...thx for the post mate!!!

i have installed these but cannot see them in the menu..

Whch fone r u hvn?

It creates separate folder where you can find y tasks and when you open it(the program) you see all the plug-ins inside.

Nokia N80.. I had signed the Ytasks as well..

As per valuz u didnt find the folder???

on my n95 i dont see anything in menu of programm!

yes.. I cannot find the folder.. nor can i find the app in Handy taskman app search.. it is present when i open app manager though.. weird.. NP any inputs?

Must b a prob at ur end:(.... I can c the prog on my fone:)

NP, did u sign the ytask main server before installation.. or used the self signed one

I also have N80 used the selfsigned vrsion and everything works perfect.
Its maybe because of FW version.I still use 4.0632.0.38

Ok.. i had signed before installation.. I do not see it.. selfsigned has lot of limitations..
mine firmware is v5

Self signd 1 bro:)

And what are these limitations of the selfsigned?

No idea bou d limitations:( ... U can ask sum1 else...

you must sign it with developer certificate instead of using the self signed version.. then you can kill task and change font and what not.. but I cannot even see my options

I can still kill tasks with selfsigned version so I dont think thers difference.Thanx anyway.

quoting Dr Jukka as mentioned in his site
"Y-Tasks application and plug-in modules are all self-signed, thus they are missing some important functionalities. The main server is made to implement these functionalities, which currently include process & tasks Killing and changing file type mappings with Filetypes plug-in module. This sis file is unsigned and you are required to sign it with your own developer certificate.."

wow very very nice appz!!!!!

very good app!!!

got a fix for the disappearance.. guys.. first install the self signed one to see the icons, then update the existing one with the developer signed one to get more features.. nice app.. enjoy

how do you sign it when simbiansigned is not workin at the moment?
