Stock task manager

I am wondering about the stock task manager. I have a prevail and i used the task manager that came with it as well as another program. My TU does not have one and I was hoping that it would be included in one of the packages that I could install. At first I was impressed that there wasnt really anything extra installed on the phone.
Now I am quite annoyed that it is not there. Am I the only one that this is the case? And if anyone got a Transform Ultra with one, is there any way that it could be sent my way? Please?

Oh and thank you Interdpth for the rooting of both my phones. I know my android experience would not have been the same without you, shabby, and others :).

Its called job manager. I tried pulling it from my prevail but I'm not sure how to get it to work. I put the apk and the odex file in there but the .apk says cannot parse package or something to that effect. And when I try to run it from other places it says install failed. Any ideas?

Did some digging around on my samsung mezmerize running 2.3.4. Its got the job manager app too. I like it better than the prevails' version. I have attached the apk and odex files as well as the com... folder. I tried installing it but had the same results as with the files from the prevail. Is there any way to modify the androidmanifest.xml? if so where would that be? Thats an error that I was getting when I was using an app called super manager. Pretty nifty app.
I'd upload some screen shots of the errors but I dont know how to upload them on here yet...

Hey, now that there are some more devs on this forum, do any of you think this would be possible? I still have hope for this and would try to help out as much as I could. I really don't know much but I'm willing to learn :)
I know that this is a minor thing in comparison to getting cm7 or cm9 out or Odin working but it is a nice little app that would be IMO awesome to have again.

but i figured i could take another stab at it...
when trying to push a deodexed jobmanager.apk to the TU, i get a

C:\Users\J\Downloads\Phones\Samsung Prevail\Root\adb install Jobmanager.apk
2267 KB/s (204384 bytes in 0.088s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/JobManager.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

I have to look into the no certificates thing some more but any help would be much appreciated :)
