[Help]looking for a software to lock device

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.

TouchFLO-Once closed, It wont Re-Open unless I reboot phone. Any ideas?

Hey guys
New to TouchFlo - got it installed yesterday.
Having an issue though.
When I open it, by clicking the taskbar button, or in Start, it opens up.
When i want to go back to Today screen, I swipe up on it to toss it away, or even if i hold the right taskbar button to close it, it goes away.
If i try to access it again, nothing happens. screen stays on Today, but is not functional unless i press the END key, as if an invisible FLO is over the screen
Whats up here?
here is what i flashed yesterday
T-Mobile 2.26 ROM : MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly

running old AT&T blue network on 8125
installed apps:
A_C Slide2Unlock
Xplore Keyboard
Today Agenda
Pocket Alarm
Nyx Password
Device Lock
Contact Manager
MhoairSofa Calendar+ Today Plugin

I had the iphone phonepad and stuff installed, but i couldnt figure out how to switch back to the Today screen without clicking SETTINGS, and still having iphone running. it was slow and laggy. any way around this?
thanks

I had same issue, only solution for me, was to stop using TouchFlo

Touchflo will only pull itself up the first time period...
Afterwards when you push the button to access it, it will appear nothing will happen... however if you swipe your finger as if you were turning the cube, it will infact go to the next page..... try it out

that is stupid!
any hopes of a fix?

The various versions of touchflo on wizard require you to press a button before getting touch to work. Depending on the ROM, this could be button 4 or left softkey.
HTC Tocuh has a video of Touch phone on their website. I see that even here, a button is pressed every time the touch features are accessed. This may be a feature of touch itself, rather than a bug in the way touchflo works on wizard.

Key Lock With Power Button

When I had the Romeos 1.40.1 ROM I had setup my phone (Using advanced config and perhaps a registry tweak, I can't remember) to lock itself when I press the power button.
Now with the proven ROM 1.0.4 my phone doesn't lock at all. The power button just turns the screen off, and when I press it again it just shows my password lock, not the actual device keylock which I want. Also, sometimes after I unlock the password lock, the backlight is still dimmed until I lock and unlock the phone again.
Perhaps it's because the ROM has advanced config and Diamond Tweak.
My question is, how can I get it working so when I press the power button, the device is keylocked, and after a timer of say, 30 seconds, the device is auto keylocked. I know I did this without some special software such as S2U2 or PocketShield. I want it setup how I had it before without that.
Regards

Apply the tweak again?
Keylocking is really problematic with TP. I've tried Sensorlock, Pocketshield but software keylockers get slow sometimes, especially when I am recieving a call. This makes no sense because using a PocketPC as a phone is preferable option . So I'd also prefer original keylocker but it locks always during a call so I dont get instant access to calendar which is my main goal of using a smart phone btw...

touchpro made easier?

hey,
a few issues i have with the phone, one being the fact that to turn on the wifi, i have to go to settings and manually turn it on, which isnt that big of a deal, but then when i want to turn it off, i have to repeat these steps.
Is there anyway to have a shortcut button for turning the wifi on or off.
as well, sometimes when i push the calander button on the home screen, it doesnt register , at least not until 5 more presses. Is this something to do with the performance?
I recently posted on the tweaks thread, asking exactly how i can apply the performance tweaks, so if those tweaks would help in any way, it would help alot to have some guidance on how to apply them.
thanks alot. hope to hear.

well ive run into another wall.... i found the advanced config app, as well as gyrator 2, but when i try to open them after installation, it tells me i need a newer version of wondows net compact framework. I downloaded version 3.5, and when i tried opening it, it told me a newer version exists and needs to be uninstalled first.
if there is a newer version already on the phone, then why dont the above mentioned apps work?
i appreciate the previous response, but this seems to be the route of my problem....any help?>
thanks again.

You could edit the registry to change the left or right soft keys to point to the comm manager, or you could install this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2581729
I use version 5.1. It's great : ) Once installed it will be assigned to the left soft key of the home tab. When you activate it, a nine button menu pops up giving access to common tasks, two of which are to toggle bluetooth and wifi on and off : )
Give it a go....

thanks ouzo, that worked incredibly!!
The only remaining issue i have is not being able to download advanced config, due to a problem with outdated microsoft framework..... which version should i get so that everything will work fine?

Remove pressing MENU after standby.

Wanted to know if anyone has found the source to do this yet the guy who made lock2.0 He has done it.http://groups.google.com/group/lock2/browse_thread/thread/13c69be014e196ac

Have you tried rebooting after installing? Other users are reporting success after doing that.

Donate version only has the menu screen removed. Works great on my phone. Worth the donation. At least until A_C starts developing for android.

it works, donated version thought. and now has a password feature, its beta right now..

Maybe I'm a little confused here, but here goes.
I've tried downloading the free version just to see how it works, but I have NO idea where the heck to get different skins for this app?
Am I just a bit "slow?"

FWIW, how would you have it so that you don't press menu in order to get the swipe screen up? You would need to have the screen on at all times.
The difference between the paid/free versions are a nag screen. That's it.

Can't find it myself. There's talks of a "Skin Manager" - but I can't find it.
I should note that the Free version removes the menu as well now. He's doing the free versions 1-update behind the donate version. I didn't need to reboot, it worked instantly.

Power button. Iirc (don't feel like changing it back). Menu or power take you to the locked screen, this just swaps that screen for a slide-to-unlock.

Right, but this was a question for aad4321. Either the free or paid versions allow you to press any key to get to the swipe screen.

So I managed to get the different zip files with the backgrounds and whatnot onto my SD card and still no love when I attempt to change the theme or battery logo.
It says that it was successfully changed, then nothing happens. i've tried rebooting since then with no success either.
I was really looking forward to this type of app, I just don't dig the skull screen and grey swipe bar.

Lock 2.0 is a neat idea, but currently pointless graphical fluff as you can bypass the slide to unlock simply by hitting the home key. So pressing any button on the phone (home, send, end, back, or menu), pressing menu, and pressing home unlocks the phone.
If you were to take out the G1 default "press menu to unlock" screen, then pressing home twice would unlock the phone even with lock 2.0 installed.
Not to mention the fact that right now, the lock 2.0 home screen doesn't show signal (or even whether you have phone service at all), and doesn't show notifications. So I'd still want the option of bringing up the default G1 "press menu to unlock screen" until that's remedied by Lock 2.0

Mine shows the signal (upper corner) and currently activated devices (cell location / etc).
My procedure for unlock is:
Power Button to turn screen on > Slide to Unlock
Now mind you, I could very easily do Menu > Menu with the default G1. But I like to turn my phone on to see the time. The fact the default G1 doesn't allow for a background (a feature that I thought they definately should have included) on the lock screen kinda gives this program a boost for usage.
As far as I know, that is the same procedure the iPhone has (you press the one circle button at the bottom).
Seems like you guys want the screen itself to turn on to the Slide-to-Unlock screen by the sense of touch ..?

Those buttons don't have that same feature for me (I'm using the free version). The most I get when pressing a button from the lock screen is a popup that says "Free Version". I have to slide to get to the home screen, or hit Menu > Home Screen.

hmmm.. that does not happens to me.. i just tried pressing home twice and it does not unlock.. im using the donated version maybe happens with the free? :/

Looks good, but definitely has a lot of room for improvement. The menu still comes up for me, so I have to press menu, then do the slide to get out. I don't need an extra keyguard screen... :/
*Edit: The version on the market is newer than that on the site, I just tried and the market one fixes this problem.
HOWEVER, there is one other problem keeping me from installing it permanently-- the screen doesn't stay off, it turns itself back on by flashing the "Free version" notification -.-
Once I get a new credit card I'll try the donation version, pretty sure that will fix the problem since it will not be "free".

With the latest version there is an option for a password lock. You have to enter the password to access the menu too. Right now the password is 1234 only for now but once it gets updated it could lock your phone safer than the normal android lock.

Don't talk unless you have tried the newest version, which fixes all of these issues.
