I tested wm5.0 rom on my xda-2 and but have degraded it to WM2003SE because it was too slow in my device. I like the simple but nice "Today Screen Plugin" on wm5.0 to lock and unlocked device. I've looked for this kind of software to lock my device for a long time. But no one can be as good as the one in wm5.0. So does somebody can draw it out from wm5.0 rom or can advice me a software with similar function worked in WM2003SE platform?

First, I don't have the locking software you are looking for.
But, why do you want to 'lock' it? As a matter of fact, I'm using WM5 and one of the very first thing I deemed useless if the 'lock' features. That is, whenever, I want to 'lock' the device, I just switch it off to 'ready' mode and switch it on whenever necessary.
BTW, there are a few security software that is able to 'lock' your device with a password, do those software fit your bill?
Also, see if this helps

To avoid to call out by careless touch the dialpad in my bag, I wish to find a simple but useful software to lock the screen and key. And easy to unlock the device without input password. So I feel that today plugin in wm5.0 satisfy my need.

is there any way to password lock the phone by pressing power button? maybe registry settings, application, or other way? if some1 can explain how, it'll be really great.
tray icon application will be fine too.
If you enable the password feature, and set the time-out to 0, it should ask for a password every time you turn it on.
no, its not suits me, i have 2 minutes phone turn off setting, and i dont want phone to be locked in 2 minutes. all i need is to lock it with power button and auto lock set to 15 minutes.

Try this:
Kai's Device PIN on/off 1.2
Application Description
Do you protect your device with a password? Then you need this program. Assign it to a button and switch the device PIN comfortably on an off.
User-friendly in 3 steps explained
Deposit (save) the password (encrypted)
Recall by hardwarebutton: ON/OFF of device PIN (without new entering)
Example of use:
You were the hole day away on business and your device PIN is activated. When you get home and you do not want to enter always the device PIN . With this progam you can switch off the PIN easily and quick. On the next day, when you got to work, activate the PIN comfortably by a keystroke without reentering the PIN.
System requirements:
System: Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003, 2003 SE, WM 5, WM 6
Screen: 240x320 Pixel or higher
Processors: Samsung, Intel® PXA XScale, StrongARM, OMAP
Its cheap, less than $5.
If it does not power the device off you could use mortscript to run this .exe & a power off .exe & map a script link to a button or an icon or voice command.
Hope this helps.

This program would meet your requirements by having a tray icon or launcher icon.
Mapping it to the power button may not be possible but it could be mapped to any other button if wanted.
This is the only password auto locking software using the standard device lock available.
Your only other option is to create a password on/off MortScript to run Settings/Password and auto input your 4 digit code,tick the required boxes & then run a device off.exe, done this on my old Magician a few years back., works well but its a bit crude compared to Kia's software.
i've download similar application(PSShut XP), but this app doing same as u describe, its runs settings\password lock, and then password promt appears, and u can simply click menue\cancel ). maybe this was working in windows 2003 or wm5, but im using wm6. only thing i've found for that case is vb function SHDeviceLockAndPrompt(), and i need to download SDK and compile an .exe, but im looking easier solution for that problem
clarification
I believe I am also looking for the same functionality:
-scenario: you power off the phone via hardware button and put it in your pocket. In your poocket, the button is pressed accidentally, and because the password lock has not yet auto-activated, the screen is active and you accidentally call your boss, or a total stranger
If this is your scenario, there is a 'screen saver' called MortSaver that can prevent this situation: it requires you to press a 2nd hardware button (user defined) to fully close the screensaver. unfortunately it will not instantly enable the password lock.
this does seem like nothing more than a simple api call, but i would be surprised if there isnt an .exe somewhere to do it aready. will have a look around.

I know S2U2, but it's "too big" for my artemis! I'm looking for a small tool. And I want the device locked securely. Slide is not enough.

S2U2 has a PIN lock, but yes it is a tad on the big side.
I really hoped I would be out of unlocking problems with my new Touch Cruise. But no! And I cannot find any usefull help. So I turn to this site for help.
Even when I soft-lock the Cruise and after that push the power button, it will automatically unlock by calls, received messages and agenda reminders.
Since I use the agenda very frequently, it unlocks and then drops the agenda item that he was reminding me of. Or it opens the agenda after an unnoticed received call, since the agenda button is at the left bottom of the screen and drops an upcoming item.
Recently I looked at my phone and it opened a picture by itself.
When I lock the device, I want it to stay locked until I tell it to unlock.
I found S2U2, but only 0.98 for WM5. Can anybody help me to solve this disturbing problem?
Okay, after I found out that S2U2 WM5 does work on WM6 and I found out how to unzip the rar files (I used 7-zip), I was able to install S2U2 on my Polaris. And it seems to work (at least with agenda items).
You can also try pocket secure, a very useful application
http://www.totalpocketpc.com/ps5web/index.html
is here any developer or someone who is able to create a programm that just unlocks the xda when i push the button. s2u2 is nice but it starts problems though.
(my music is disturbed by that as long as it is switched on)
my phone is allowed to make sounds, but not to unlock when i get a call or a reminder.
who ever solves this problem is supposed to be one of the greatest

if I have not understood badly, you can resolve your problem planning a device password.
(in my italian Touch Cruise: >Impostazioni>Blocca
in English I believe:
>Setting>lock
and set time to sleep and password.
When the device is locked if you receive a call you can only to answer and if you do not introduce your password you cannot do anything.
Try, I use so my Touch Cruise
nice idea , tough i think this is unhandy...
this is what i imagine:
the button on the top right corner at the orbit2 makes the screen light up and unlocks all buttons.
and sometimes (a phone call, a reminder) the screen lights up and unlocks the buttons too. i don't like that (starts other programms and so on). i just want the phone to "screen lights up and unlocks the buttons" when i push the button on the top right corner. (the phone is still allowed to make sounds ^^)
i bet you know what i mean. (s2u2 is ok, but not perfect.)
or how can i contact the people developping the software for the phone to ask them?
thank you
PS: yeah, i want what jan wants too ^^
I tryed the sensor lock and I was at first impressed with it but as soon as I had to soft reset the Pro, Sensorlock starting to vibrate alot!
I couldn't unlock the phone at all, not even enter my pin. The only way I could get in to my phone was by putting in the USB cabel, and uninstall the sensorlock. So I won't try that again. Stylus lock looks neat but having to remove the stylus from the phone just to be able to answer a call aint what I'm looking for.
I'm hoping that someone here can rip out the locking function from the Kaiser and make it useable on the Pro. That program was really good and simple.
hope someone can help me find what I want.
you should read the readme or use the search engine in this forum. i guess some devices are just not compatible at this time with the vibrate function. wating for 0.3, it should be fixed.

Yeah I had the same problem!
My touch pro was spaaacing. He was vibrating the whole time....
So the uninstall was very quick with this one
oh seems 0.3.1 is out, bug is gone for me.
for your information ahorn I did use the search function and I did read the readme file..
But sensorlock wasn't my question... I was mearly wondering if someone could make the screen/button lock from kaiser to work in the Raphael... since I had problems with the other.
I had SensorLock installed since yesterday and had no problem at all. In fact I am liking it over another product. Maybe you need change your settings.
My only qualms is that it does not have a unique gesture.
I still got problems with sensorlock, so I'm not gonna use that.
I would like a more simple locking program like the one on Kaiser. Easy and fully functional.
Phone Lock
Sensor Lock would be great for me if I shouldn’t have to rotate the phone like a weird maniac pretending a magician or something - looks extremely funny when it doesn’t unlock and you’re in a meeting with business partners. Like I’m really desperate to impress the party this way …
Would be lovely if instead of rotating the thing we could use a sequence combination of pressing hard buttons. Like “Power, + Back” toggling “Lock Everything”, though this diminishes its name “SensorLock”, I would be gratefully thankful if this option would be kindly implemented by the developer.
i use vjdevice lock and remaped it to the left soft key, works great, one touch screen lock and power off. Big thanks to Vjay555 for this one.
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock
Security lock from the Tornado smartphone is another good one. I hope someone will be able to rip it off for the TouchPro.
If you are looking to disable the on-screen answer keys only, the answerkeys disabler works perfectly for me...
I just flashed my HTC Touch Pro with the latest generic HTC ROM (5.05.405.1 WWE, 03/04/09, radio version 1.11.25.01, protocol version 52.58.25.30U) with the aid of a friend as I'm new to the whole flashing bit, and now I can't lock my screen. Long press end key now just flashes the screen black for a second then goes back to being unlocked. The same thing happens if I configure long press end to pop up a list, and then select lock from there.
Help?
s2u2......
Thanks for the suggestion, and it's definitely not a bad workaround... I was just hoping that someone would have a fix so I can quickly lock it with the button again.
I had the same problem. You can use Spb Mobile Shell. It has a part program name 'Lock Device'
Me too with the new ROM.
But I noticed it after I installed lots of software.
However, if I disable the TF3D and enable the device lock from setting>today, I still able to lock the device from the screen.
Wonder is it:
1) Problem with TF3D in new ROM
2) Software incompatibility causing "long press end key" unable to lock
I use search for the keylock but can't find.
Any genius to help out? Thanx...
Same problem here. With the new ROM it's not locking anymore as it was first possible. I dont want to use another software, this should work!
I personally never use the hard call button to make a call, and it is still often a source of accidental calls.
I use Exidler's Hd2ProximityScreenOff, so i don't need in theory a screen lock. Very, very usefull. Some accidental calls have been made though.
Here is what i found so far :
- Vangrieg InCall Lock is great, but works only when a call is received.
- Aebutton plus doesn't help for long press on call button.
- I searched on whole registry for "cprog.exe" (The dialer processus) without interesting founds.
I would be so grateful if someone find a way to remove this call function when pressing the button, if possible using with no process in background ...
Why dont you just enable the lock screen that way you cant accidentally make a call when it comes on.
thank for your reply optiknerv.
with hd2proximityscreenoff, I think we are in a new and intuitive way to use phones, something apple did not patent already ! ;-)
we dont need anymore a screen lock, but kind of key lock can be, in very rare cases, useful.
I guess it is impossible to map this button ...
Have you ever tried AEBPlus??
It locks every kind of key - software keys too - and make them addressable to other application
You'll find it on http://ae.inc.ru

Why insist to map the button? Screen lock solves your problem. Try S2U2 or TLP. They will make sure you don't press the green hard key by accident. If you use proximity to auto unlock, there is no extra action on your side. The green hard key (and the phone) is locked whenever the phone is in your bag or pocket.
thanks you very much alex. touch lock pro solved my problem and can use well proximity sensor after some settings.
