IIRC there's a tiny app available called "The magic button".
This closes, rather than minimizes, programs when you close them by clicking on the "x" and it's handy as you tend to assume app's you don't have on screen aren't using resources when in many cases they bloomin' well still are..

Well I finally took the plunge and flashed my HTC HD to a custom ROM. I'm now running windows mobile 6.5 and I'm really impressed with a noticable difference to the phones speed and stability. The process was relatively painless if a little stressful and some of the guides are convoluted so if anyone else fancies doing it I'd be happy to explain in simple terms how I went about it.

Over all I'm chuffed to bits and I can see myself becoming quite addicted to updating it on a regular basis.

edit: I've read since doing it to remove the memory card as people have reported permanent corruption. I didn't and it's ok but I thought it remiss not to mention it.

this:

Update the Vista (Win 7) drivers:

You need to be able to talk to your phone from the SPL multicolour screen.

Use USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...88#post3677388
USPL temporary changes the SPL of your phone so it accepts custom ROMS.

Then flash a standard 1.56 ROM like this one: RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
Get it here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...stone_Ship_exe
This updates the SPL to 1.54.

Then use USPL again.
Then flash a custom ROM. I used Miri's latest v.13.

Then follow 6e of the guide to restore the settings:

"Hard reset afterwards. For instructions on how go to step (6e). Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended.
(6e) Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says..."
