[DEVELOPED!!] Proximity sensor + Lockscreen = no more button accidents - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

YESSS it's HERE!!!!
All credits to exidler!!!! Thanx man!!
I saw this question somewhere else, but i just could'nt find it. So i thought let's start the idea again...
The idea is to have the proximity sens enabled in the wm6.5 lockscreen! Why? To disable the screen and hard buttons! That way if your HD2 is in your pocket, the screen won't go on if u press hard buttons on accident... see.
This would also be a nice feature if you get an incoming call, it happens to me very often, when i have my HD2 in my jeans and want to pick up a call, i often press the end call when pulling out the HD2 out of the pocket.... very frustrating!!!
Is there someone out there who is able to create an app/ tweak like this???

Thread you mentioned was open by me, but no solution for now. Btw proximity sensor isn't a bad idea, I can code in VB .net, but I don't know how use the sensor with the code! I hope there will be a more skilled programmer here!
The solution for now was called S2U2

yeah... any skilled programmer/ developer over here???

Yep, that's a great idea. Shame I can't do it myself

+1 on that

not that easy mate.. how about the lcd going on all the time in your pocket...

htc just needs to add button lock in there rom.
So you can only poweron poweroff the screen using the power button.

I agree, but only when nothing cover the proximity sensor, otherwise the phone will switch on and off in your pocket a lot of time!!
BTW, tha't incredible!!! Why HTC doesn't implement this basic function in their roms?? Really, I don't know!

hi to all,
I have check, pocketshield (latest beta) S2U2, smartlock and some more other
all of then have the same problem, they can not lock the answer key, so in case you have and incall and the phone is on your pocket you can accidentally pick up the call.
pocketshild developer has tall me that it's waiting for HTC to release a hotfix.
iosub
BTW, if anyone finds a solution please post it here

Good to hear...
But why are they waiting??? is it possible that HTC knows about this prob?? Would be nice if HTC developed this theirselves... prox sensor to switch off the LCD and hard buttons in incall AND in Lockscreen!!!
Or come on XDA Developers!!! One of u guys or galls have the power!!!

I certainly don't like the idea of using a full-blown locker like Pocket Shield or S2U2 for this purpose, so hopefully somebody will come up with a way to trap those darned buttons that can be used outside of those programs. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out why standard hooks fail...

hi
for me the real question is, why the htc dialer does have a slider but it does not lock the answer and end call keys when reciving a call ?
if htc developers didn't think about it why are they going to fix it ? I don't think we will get a hotfix ...
anyway if anyone find a solution .. please post
thanks

I don't think HTC is going to "fix" it, it's not a bug, it's a design [in]decision. It's been the case with all their phones since the times when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

Iosu

someone from HTC stated that they do have an eyes on XDA Dev forum and said "We can't live with them and we can't live without them" referring to XDA-Dev and the like

How to disable startup vibration

Is it possible to disable the startup vibration?
I dont want my Kaiser to vibrate while sitting in its cradle...
good question. interested also in this...

Mee 2 ....
One more...
ok, so maybe is time to start brainstorming except writing "me too"! it is like in the kindergarten
in HKLM/Software/HTC/ are many keys, e.g. StartupAnimation..
i tried to make a new key with StartupVibration/Enable=1
but looks like it does not work. any another ideas?
Umm, if it did work, shouldn't you be setting that value to 0?

In my knowledge, the vibrating on the smart mobility screen, the first on the boot process, is't related to registry, cause the system haven't started yet. So perhaps is a value in the SPL.
I don think you can change into the registry.
did not work even with "0" (as disabled)...
...
if it is a value in the SPL, then no more fight with it...

Why not fight...? we can send a petition to pof to take a look at the HardSPL to see if can find the value (if exist).
i ment not fight with it through registry of course
Why would it vibrate in your cradle? Do you continuously restart your phone in the cradle? Or have an app that restarts your phone often?

I install programs and do regedits while the Kaiser is connected to my PC. Many of these programs & changes needs soft reset.
I see Thanks IsBjorn.
Wish I could help!

It's not a bad idea to let ppl to make contributions of any type. This let ppl learn about other ppl ideas about Kaiser. No one knows what are beside the vibration...
Perhaps this post moves someone to learn something... enough for me to be here...
I personally like this feature since in order to actually power on a Kaiser you have to press/hold the power button until you either see the green light come on or feel the vibration.

I never turn my Kaiser on or off, just soft restarts after and during installations and regedits.
I remember that some of my old mobiles did automaticly disable vibration during charging and when put in a cradle. All this to protect the connectionplug and "chargerport".
(Not that good in writing english; what's the real name on the "chargerport"?)
Charge port = Power jack?
Charge port sounds good to me. =)

shake2unlock with S2U2

Hi.. i was searching for a shake2unlock app... i found 2 on the forums but one does not work for the Omnia and the other didnt have the shake feature as far as i could tell...
So my q:
is there an app that when you shake your phone it also unlocks s2u2?
thx
Simple answer. No I would love this too, but it hasn't been developed yet. I would ask A_C.

Next time, please ask your questions in the Q&A section rather than opening a new thread.
Mods,
Please move to Q&A at your discretion. Thanks.
I think it'll consume a lot of power.

Nah. If you see PocketShield or TouchLockPro. It does not consume that much power.
doesnt that defeat the point...it will just unlock it when you walk or run , which totally defeats the point of a lock
Maybe if you have the ability to program it to unlock by swinging the device in a specific manner, that might overcome that issue (think throttle lock or Android type of lock software).
And unlocking in pocket would not be an issue because you could also use the light sensor. whenever it is dark dont shake 2 unlock
oh and sorry for the bad location of the thread
ah, so it would only unlock by accident if you were running and holding the phone then, or if the screen waking up on an incomming text / call triggered the light sensor, or if the phone was on your car dashboard and you went over a speedbump, or...etc etc etc ... oh and you couldnt unlock your phone at night
sorry, just dont see any practical use for this app and LOTS of potential issues.
up to you if you want to spend weeks coding it of course
Hi there,
at modaco they have kinda something, but they stopped developing it (unfortunatly):

Keyboard sounds?

I'm looking for an app that will add typing sounds of some kind while using the hardware keyboard on my G1. I'm coming from a modded, OpenTouch flashed and overclocked HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing which had the option to add sounds for hardware button presses. I'm a big guy with BIG hands- my two thumbs placed together stretch from the "A" to the "L" on the G1 keyboard. The G1's keys are smaller and don't have the healthy, positive feeling "click" that my old Wing/Herald did, which makes it hard for my big ass thumbs to register if I've depressed the button. I end up backspacing a lot to correct double typed or missed letters. Having sounds would help sooooo much. Even the same sound you can set for screen touches would be perfect.
Does something like this exist? Could an app be made?
~edit~
Just realized I should have posted this in the apps forum....sorry! Move if needed!
hmm good post. I would like to know this as well, would be a great feature addition.
maybe someone can create a sound not when it opens but when ever the screen is rotated?just a thought

no offense, but that wouldn't really help the OP
and it would be a nice feature. god knows how you'd do it though
This would be an absolute must have app for me....I'd pay for it without a second thought.
ttt....
My hope is that some super secret squirrel developer will see this and whip out the appropriate app and beam to my phone in 3.2 seconds. lol
i was wondering about this also!
jealous of my friends sidekick..
i dont care what anyone says i find noises to be entertaining..

Same here.... I was using my buddie's G1 for few min, I had to turn on audible selection. Lack of noise was driving me nuts!!! lol
ttt
10 char
its quite possible to do it. i dont know how though
in the coding, there is a keyboardhidden and keyboardexposed recognization...
we just need to find a dev interested in it
i would like this also!
i love using the on screen keyboard because of all the sounds and the different ones for space and delete and if i could have it on my hard keyboard also i would most definitely pay
You guys know about Haykuros keyboard mod? The one that gives the hard keyboard predictive text? It also gives you key pressing sounds like the VK does.
can you link us to this?
if you use haykuro's HTC IME you can tell it to make typing noises when you click the hardware or software keyboard.

Hope that this helps.

[Q] Vibration pattern

Hi all!
Iam missing every call and sms in silent vibration mode when iam walking in the street... soooo
Can i customise the vibration pattern for incoming calls and sms???
Iam using HyperNonSense ICS 3.32 based.
Maybe some registry hacks?
And not "Tasker" plz...
Thanks in advance!Sry if its nooby
First off, I'm a new member to XDA and others may have better suggestions then myself, but I figure I'd try and help you out.
For the voice calls, when the phone is in vibrate mode there is already a vibrate pattern that the phone uses. As for changing the pattern, I'm not sure how to do this.
For the sms issue, I personally use an app call "Handcent SMS". In the settings for the app, under "Settings->Notification Settings->Notification Settings->Vibrate Pattern->Custom" you can change the pattern.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, hopefully someone else has more information.
Eeeh,its not the way i was looking 4 =) but thanks anyway..
I've found an app called "Smart Vibrator" in market, but it seems do nothing. Iam changing the pattern but it remains the same it was =(
Maybe in XDA were threads with useful apps for such customising?
P.S. is it OK for u all,who read this topic, to have such a badly vibration?
Or u got another methods to improve it?
Or doesnt matter at all 4 u? =)
Write suggestions plz =)

Are you using some kind of cover for the device?
Even with the soft (Silicon) back cover on my phone I can still feel it vibrating in my pocket.

[Q] Activate touchscreen without power-button

Hey folks,
I'm almost going nuts with this topic, can't find anything useful on the internet.
Is there any way to activate the Smartwatch 2 without the power-button? Yes, you can activate the back-light by double-tap, but you can't unlock the display without pushing the power-button (and wiping).
Double-tap and then be able to wipe would be nice. Or if I take a look at the watch the back-light goes on and then I already want to have the possibility to wipe the lock screen away. Is that somehow possible?
Regards

Thanks for the answer, but I don't believe in Santa anymore.
Edit:
But maybe the easter bunny exists and I gave it a try: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wirel...creen-without-power-button/m-p/819109#U819109
i got a few posts on that forum as well, never got a reply from Sony
crossing my fingers the easter bunny will wake up soon
gravity screen is for your phone indeed, not for the watch
