lock tweak

I am looking for a lock feature that locks the phone simply when you depress the power button. I have come accross all sorts of fancy ways of locking the phone, but not this.
Can someone please point me to this tweak (if it is indeed available)

Try the Advanced Settings of Sensorlock.

Ther is a option in AdvancedConfig, to do exaxtly that

Not free, but I'm using Pocket Shield, and they have a trial you could try.

S2U2 does this and it's a free download.

Which one and version please? Thanks

ok - installed. seems to be what I want. Thanks!

If I don't want to enable that feature in Advanced Configuration tool, is there another way to get to it? Or is there a Cab/App That I can use to lock unlock my phone? I like that ACT lets you lock the screen by pushine the power button, but sometime I just want to turn off the screen not lock it,,,

I can't seem to find this option in Advanced Config 3.3 either.
I'm sure it's probably a well known tip but I only just found it out (Got my Touch Pro yesterday) that you can hold the call end key to lock the device, which is better than nothing but I'd still rather have a way of making the power button do this too.

Thanx

Search for
CSDEVCTRL
from the forums here and use it ;-)

Ok, another question on the topic is there a way to add a lock button to the touchflo homepage?

Full Lock???
I have this thing that is bothering me.
When I have my Fuze on my belt ( screen locked using S2U2 ) and I activate Voice Command to make a call or just answer a call using my BT Headset the phone menu will come on with a big end call button in the middle.
Without fail I would move around and nudge the phone with the right force through the case and hang up on whoever I was talking to.
Is there an option in the S2U2 or another way of locking the phone so that when the screen is locked it's really locked?
thanks!

I reflashed and now can't get my device to lock when I press the power button. The device won't lock at all, even when I hold the end key.
How did you get it to lock when you press the power button?

Lock screen gone after ROM update

I just downloaded and installed the ROM update(1.48.409) and SD card, Calendar view, SMS function, and digital Picture enchantment hotfixes.
The problem is that my Lock screen/slide to unlock screen is now gone.
I can press any of the physical buttons, and my device turns on.
This is very annoying when I have the device in my pocket.
Could anyone tell me how to get the Slide to unlock screen back?
Thanks!

YES lol
You could have first searched the forums, saved yourself a post, and not created ANOTHER redundant thread, but here's what you do...
Go to the start menu, select lock (bottom left softkey).
It works after you do that.
Incidentally, if you ever have it that you press an email preview in the email tab, and it doesn't open the email, this is the same problem. The fix applies to both issues.

Well, I did try to search the forum, but didn't find anything
Anyway, thanks!

No problem

I had the same problem.
Start and then press lock!
After that it started to work properly again

So, basically, the suggestion from above works?

U can just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).

Pattern lock without the slide/menu unlock

Hi,
I have the latest Fresh ROM on my hero, and setup a pattern unlock screen.
when I wake my phone up I either have to slide the time down, or hit the menu button before enter the pattern to unlock the phone.
Now this is kinda a pain, is their a way to skip the menu/slide part, so when I wake up the phone I just can enter the pattern?
Thanks

you could delete the lockscreeen. i remember reading a post that showed you how to delete it. search for it. im sure u will find it

rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

Well I tried removing HtcLockScreen.apk
and it now loads up the android lock screen.
I'm looking for a tweak to remove the whole thing completely and the phone not ask for it. is this possible?
I know its not a windows phone (thats what i just left behind) but I guess what im looking for is somethign like a registry hack to remove it, if their is such a thing.

sorry, i must have misunderstood your question..
from what i've read the menu menu is built into android. all android phones.. we need the source to change that.
here are a few links just from the CDMA forums... i searched "menu unlock"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584343&highlight=menu+unlock
this one is three pages long...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582315&highlight=menu+unlock
p.s. you know you can just press menu to wake the phone up right?
just double-tap menu its much faster that way.

There has gotta be a way to mod the apk for lockbot to just disable the lock screen altogether but allow the pattern lock.... just a thought.

This shouldn't be a cdma specific issue, any sense Rom should have this. You could try posting elsewhere on this site, android apps, hero apps hero Rom development, or even other Android sites, modaco, android.org, maybe post on flipz site.. just a thought

Unlock phone with soft keys?

First of all, is it even possible to assign soft keys to unlock the phone?
I've tried adding "WAKE_DROPPED" to "key 102 HOME" in "pyramid-keypad.kl" but the home button doesn't unlock the phone even after a restart. I've also tried pulling/pushing the file via adb in recovery mode.

Bumping...

My first post here (and unfortunately, not such a useful one), but here goes a soft bump from me too
Please... can someone shed some light on this? I just don't want to use the Home or Power button(s) to unlock my SGS2. Shake or Voice (LOL) or Soft Keys would be cool... B-)
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Oops, just realised it's a thread for HTC Sensation :dumb me:

There is a kernal mod out there I think for hd2 where you swipe the soft keys and will unlock and lock

Lol, hd2 doesn't have soft keys.
But you are.correct, its kernel mod. Show considered doing it but changed his.mind IIRC.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

i want this feature too!!! anyone can enlighten us???

I had completely forgotten about this thread.. I found an app which allows you to unlock with the proximity sensor. But I haven't used it since starting this thread so I can't remember the name. I quit using it because it would unlock when I put it in my pocket.

^^ Haha yea, I can understand. It might have gotten more painful than a solution really. But, please interrogate your neurons... and try to recollect the name of the app. Please please please. Thanks

i can see that this mod would be kinda cool, however u realise that it would mean keeping the capacitive soft buttons powered on all the time ready for input, basiclly it would stop deep sleep and keep the soft keys draining the battery non stop...

[Q] volume button wake up?

Hi,
I have seen this tweak/app to wake phone by using volume button mentioned a few times but no instructions on how set it. Any information that can be shared on how to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

that would be a nice option to have. sometimes the phone feels "too tall" to reach the power button and pressing the side button while it lays on a table is much easier too.

Also looking for this mod - the Sense ROM forum mentions that it is something to do with android.policy.jar?

Leedroid ROM has this.

I know this is a late reply but I found that the tap tap app works well.
I combined it with no lock, so i can just wave my hand and it'll go right to home screen, bypassing the need to use power button, moving the htc ring and pattern lock.

I would highly recommend avoiding this app. I installed, played with for a few minutes then put in my pocket for the drive home from work. When I got home, my phone was locked up, too hot to hold and upon reboot, I had no data connection. Literally nothing I tried returned my data until I did a full wipe and nandroid restore losing a week of data. The app didn't even work reliably in the first place...maybe 1/3 times would it unlock as promised.

Ok, I'll experiment it later with my jeans. Do you remember the settings for your sensor? (sensitivity, how long will sensor be on). Can you suggest an alternative to wake up the phone w/o using power button?
Some say no lock can wake phones via volume key but that doesn't work on my one s.

Brief instructions
It's quite easy actually. Here is a very brief overview.
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Install a recovery
3. Install something like SuperSu
4. In /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8960.kl, replace the "key 114 .... " line with "key 114 POWER WAKE". Voila! Now it works, but not when it goes to deep sleep to fix that
5. do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038726.
If you need a more detailed answer or encounter some difficulties, don't hesitate to ask.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Indeed, a button won't fulfil 2 purposes at the same time. What I do when I want to lower the volume is press the volume_up button. At this point a scroll bar appears on the screen. I then lower the volume by sliding the bar
