Workaround for P910,SMan and SE Desktop
Hi
I had a problem with SMan crashing when using SE Desktop on my p910. This is how I fixed it.
1. Use some file manager (qfileman) and rename or remove the file c:\system\apps\SMan\SMan.snp. This makes it possible to start SMan again..
2. Restart the phone to flush unecessary tasks.
3. Start SMan and kill the task Desktop
4. Take a new snapshot and configure SMan to load at startup (with flipclose flush too).
This seems to work for me.
Best regards
mattiL

@all:
An update to SMan. We are busy working on SMan v1.4 and things are starting to pick up speed. The only thing I can update you on now is...
SMan v1.4
1. There are three new modules in SMan, the modules also better integrate with each other (you'll know why when you see v1.4).
2. We have also added made one of the modules work in flipclose mode.
3. We have enhanced 3 of the existing modules with newer features.
4. A92x user reporting that some options are grayed out when they were able to use them in earlier builds have been fixed.
5. A1000 users reporting the they can't use bluetooth in v1.3 has been fixed.
On top of that, we will be releasing SMan v1.3d while we work on v1.4. This version will:
1. Fix the SE Desktop application from crashing the P910.
2. The P910 customized by Orange/O2/Vodafone crashing with SMan has been fixed.
The A92x and A1000 fixes are only found in v1.4 and not v1.3 as we had to re-code quite a bit of SMan to get those issues resolved.
The v1.4 feature set I mentioned are either done or being developed now, this may change as we may add a few more modules before release. More specific details will be published closed to release date.
Before anybody asks when we will release v1.4? The answer to that is "when it is ready."

Tip for Orange UK branded P910i users:
As you may be aware, some users with branded phones have experienced problems with Sman 1.3 whereby the application crashes with a kernel error when performing certain functions, notably closing down apps in flip open mode and when using the flip close flush function.
I've found that updating the firmware to the latest available version using the official SE site seems to have stopped both of those problems. I've reinstalled all of the apps that I had on there before and Sman still works ok, so I'm pretty sure that the problem is caused by a firmware / branding issue rather than other apps.
So if you have an orange branded phone and you're feeling brave (!) you might like to give it a go
Let us know if you do because it would be interesting to see if my experience was just a one-off.

It's interesting you know: Before getting a P910i, I had a a P900 and before that a P800. On both the latter phones, Sman was a must to shut down memory-hoggig apps. Now, on the P910i, however, I haven't opened Sman in about three weeks, as it's pretty much impossible to run out of memory. OK, so you still *should* need it for file-management, but to be honest I haven't been doing much of that wither sinced using a P910i. I think that as devices become more enhanced, they will become easier to operate, and the need for applications like Sman will decrease. This is, btw, a Good Thing, as a phone should just WORK instead of requiring the user to change the execution permissions on bla_bla.cfg.
Anyways, not to discourage Ajack et al. doing development work on an app that's still ver useful to very many people.

Maybe...
@lozishere:
Thanks for the comments, but SMan is more that a task manager plus the fact that even if you have lots of memory, the fact remains that running apps eat battery and the P910i's battery isn't exactly famous for it's long running times.
Like I said earlier, there is more to SMan than just a task manager and will get even more functionality in the next release...
