Thanks for the credits and great that it works perfectly for you.
I added to the StylusLock description how to go to sleep immediately, by just pressing the Power Button and inserting the Stylus. But maybe you did know this already.
Thanks ZuinigeRijder, this was answer to all my locking needs!
For GPS purposes, it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock with lets say long keypress (home, back, answer, hangup -key), since its bit tricky on my mount to take out stylus for unlocking.
But anyway, this is best so far. I also love your idea to keep app simple and low resource eater.
(I will post duplicate of this to Diamond side also).

Nice thread
I think will be good to include what ROM you have tested this software from Diamond. This will give us a really good info...
Cheers
So every time you want to make or answer a call you have to remove the stylest?.. Is that right?

No - Every time you want to un-lock the phone with the lock enabled you have to remove the stylus? To re-lock just insert the stylus? You can switch the "software" on and off for when you want it enabled or dissabled?
To me EN4CER69 this is a bit of a "Doh...!!!!" type question? If you didnt have to un-lock before making or answering a call - then the phone wouldnt be locked now would it????? Sigh.....

Been a long day m8... Mushyy
While the software is promising I am not sure how convenient it is to pull the stylus in and out before you can answer a phone call. See the video above for the app in action
I'll have a ponder..

For me its definately worth the effort having in the recent past called people when I shouldnt (pocket called) while talking either about them, or about things I shouldnt - or both, as well as having answered calls by accident in my pocket with the same embarassing results.....
I've been using the sofware for a few days now and have already got used to it..... I'll leave you to "ponder" ......

Stylus Lock
I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.
It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.
My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?
Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.
That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.
So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.

1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.
2. Screen Notification
3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.
Thanks

You can do it like this.
While Stylus Lock enabled you are done with your tasks and want to put device in sleep mode and locked - Press power button and then insert stylus. Device goes to sleep and you feel lock vibration notify. To wake up device, simply pull out stylus and it unlocks also.

StylusLock
Youtube video StylusLock in action on wmpoweruser.com. Note that this video is version 1.1. New version 1.2 has a StylusLock indicator and only vibrates now when locked or Stylus LockMode is enabled. This saves a bit battery.
Version 1.2.1
* Found the problem why the icon was disappearing. So now I do not need to redo the locked icon each 55 seconds No CPU usage again.
* Apply the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really locked
* Remove the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really unlocked
* I had a lockup of the TD today (with version 1.2), so I do not hope this version is buggy
* Added the missing sources (forgot to put under source control
Version 1.2
* Added StylusLock indicator when locked. Works for TouchFlo3D screen as well as other Today screens.
* Because the StylusLock indicator is now visible if locked, it no longer vibrates when unlocked (saves extra battery)
* Kept StylusLock as simple and small as possible (only 1Kb in memory) and does still consume no CPU (check with TaskManager!!).
* v1.2 is even a bit smaller then v1.1, although the StylusLock indicator has been added.
Version 1.1
When the stylus is put inside it will only vibrate if "stylus Lock mode" gets enabled and/or the phone is getting locked. If there is no vibration, you know the phone is not locked and "stylus Lock mode" is disabled. Added source code.

1. Just push the Power button to go to sleep, before inserting the Stylus.
2. This is added in version 1.2.1
3. Although the TouchPanel and Hardware keys are locked, still the hardware buttons area is sensitive. So I am looking into another lock/unlock method in addition to the Stylus.......but be patient......

Hello,
I am looking for a program that automatically locks my touch pro as soon as I put it in standy, with the on/off button. Because normally my phone is on vibrate and when I take him out of my pocket again it has typed text messages, called people etc etc.
Thanks!
Bob
Search for S2U2, Pocketshield, Throttle Lock, Touch Pro Lock... There are plenty of these programs on XDA.
You can also use AdvancedConfig to enable autolock if you don't want to install any 3rd party software.

I hate to report that yes, you are lol. It's under the "Screen" set of options in Advanced Config. Once you enable it, it's exactly wat ur looking for, no need for other battery draining 3rd party apps lol
since this thread is already started, i didn't want to start another one. does anyone know of any way (like tweak) to prevent the built-in autolock feature from minimizing all programs? for example, i'll be on opera, have to get sumwhere quickly so I press the power button to put on standby and enable the autolock, and when I turn teh screen back on, the TF3D Home screen is showing, and opera will be minimized. can get pretty annoying if ur in the middle of doing something important on the phone lol

Whew!! I thought I was going nuts. I was sure that it was not there. I was using NATF's 2.2 ROM and installed ADV config 3.3. There was not an auto lock option. However, this week I flashed to RRE's v4.4 ROM which has adv config preinstalled and there is an option for Auto Lock and to set the delay. I am pretty sure that they were both version 3.3 so i am not sure what happenend.
Oh well. It is there now.

i am using pdacorner rom v17, and in advcfg, there isn't any autolock, in screen, What should i do
In ACT 3.3.0.0 under Screen, the 4th item is called "Auto device lock". Put it in Enable and you have what you want
I'm not seeing the option for 'Auto Device Lock' either, and I'm running Advanced Config 3.3.0.0 as well.
I have downloaded advanced config 3.3 from schaps and it does not give me the option to set the autolock either. I have also used a version packaged with RRE's 4.4 ROM and that did have the option. So I must be doing something wrong but i am not sure what.
But if you want to set it you can always try Diamond Tweak. that gives you the autolock option also.
Hope this helps
cj
Yes, thanks very much for the tip about Diamond Tweak. That worked perfect.
The only problem with this autolock feature is that it's still pretty easy to answer a call inadvertently. Ohter screen locks make it more difficult to answer a call by accident.
I can't get AutoLock Screen v 1.7 to start... I've installed it, soft-reset, made the settings, pressing the "Cancel" button...
...and my OMNIA is getting locked with the "traditional" way, the left bottom button "Locked" appearing and if I'm pressing it another button in the middle of the screen appears.
WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?
Not entirely sure this is "allowed" ...if not, please forgive me, sir moderator, sir...i don't mean any harm!
What i am looking for (perhaps it DOES exist, i'm just to useless to find it) is a wifi AND bluetooth toggling button (that i can use as a shortcut on my home screen)
I currently am using Dutty's Holy Grail R1 ROM and AKToggleWifi with great success! however, of the three icons on my start screen (yes, i haven't got the fourth one to work!?!) i do not have space to spare a seperate bluetooth toggle button.
It doesn't even have to be fancy...something like:
1 push - enable Wifi
2nd push - disable wifi
3rd push - enable bluetooth
4th push - disable bluetooth.
(i can't think of another way of getting it all working without a "hold" mechanism...maybe i am just THAT noob? lol)
I am willing to donate a beer or two (or coca-cola, sprite, hot chocolate, etc) to some1 who can make me a nice little cab...
any1 got any ideas?
I'm using Today Screen Radio Device Toggler which provides single-click interface to toggle your bluetooth/wifi/phone on and off directly from the Today Screen
Get it here;

Browse / search on this site for nice free HTC software. Also take a look at their 'desktop' site.
Have fun

I can give you a complete solution, using the buttons:
Camera button, wifi, bluethout toglle, reset, scroll down/up
app lanch
How's that???
In 4 simple steps:
1 - Install Keyboard Config
2 - Goto Setings
3 - Load My Configuration
4 - Donate to the App Developer His app rocks
YES! franklopez you are CORRECT! that is PERFECT! (also, thank you to Senax, it's nice, but Keyboard Config wins the day!)
I will donate to that man with a plan, tarkim!
GG!
I`m agree with you guys, keyboard config is a great app, it works just perfect on our Diamonds.
To have a shortcut to togle bluetooth/wifi in today screen, helps a lot but normaly when you realise that it is off, you have already the app that needs it open, then you need to go again to today screen to togle, with this app you can toggle bt/wifi, everywhere.
Wouldnt it be great if bluetooth turned on automattically when I put the phone in the car holder(with charge function), and when i pull it out bluetooth turns off.
I Know that Phone alarm can do the trick but i don't need all the extra things that come with phone alarm, it only messes things up.
Is there a simple cab file around who enables this function?
Or if there isnt, could someone make such a cab file? I know a lot of guys who would love to have this working.
I would like it!
i am using phonealarm which also supports this function. Find it at www.pocketmax.net
I know i used it also but it is overkill if i only want to use it for the bluetooth function.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3367344
I installed it, reset my phone but it does not work.
Is this one especially for the hd2?
Oh boy would I like this! It's such an simple and usefull thing, and yet there still is no cab for it.
I'm not a developer, but it seems easy: power on = BT on, power off = BT off. It should be a matter of finding the right trigger for power on, and then combine it with the bluetooth-toggle cab found elsewhere. (See attached)
Who can help!
ps: it's for a HD2, so post mentioned above (bluepower) doesn't work indeed. Probably because of the other BT protocol used.
ps2: the attached Touch X Bluetooth Toggle.cab DOES work on HD2, but manually. If this cab can be changed to toggle BT on power-status in stead of manual input we'd have what we want.
ps3: phonealarm does know how to do the trick, but it's not flawless, and surely overkill. BUT.... the right trigger (powerstatus-on, powerstatus-off) should be in it somewhere... who can find it, and convert the attached BT toggle with it to the wanted function?
would be a nice one to have indeed, hope someone can help!

Yeah, as per the thread I started on a similar subject, I want to do this stuff but like others, Phonealarm is a little bit OTT for what I need, and g-profile just simply doesn't seem to work for some reason.
I set up a bunch of profiles but when you change (either manual or auto) the stuff you set up for the profiles in question just doesn't seem to happen. Hoping I'm just doing something wrong!

Sorry, but the logic is flawed. Some times the user may have BT on when not charging, then start charging. It would be bad to disconnect bt when he or she did not want to charge any more.
I'd do it like this: power on, save bt status, turn on bt regardless of previous state. power off, turn bt to same state as saved. You could possibly ask the user if he or she wanted to disconnect.
That would be an improved functionality indeed. But not needed for me (yet). I only use Bluetooth for connecting to my carkit. The rest of the day it's turned off. So for me power_on=BT_on and power_off=BT_off would be enough.
Your added function makes it even nicer though....
Nobody who can help us?
Bump,
wow this topic goes down fast.
hope someone will pick this up, it's a really good idea
and so simple.... it seems.
I really would like to have it too. I even provided the raw material with the working other programs, now all we need is a Winmo magician who can extract the needed elements, and brew it into a working cab...

Havent used it myself, and it is not clear if this is touchscreen compatible..
I'm currently using S2U2 to blank screen when connected, which works fine, and I use Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5 for all other times.
I think it's memory wasteful to use S2U2 just to turn the screen off during phone calls, and didn't know if anyone knew a way that I could set CHT to turn the screen off, or knew another application that used less memory to perform the same function that S2U2 does.
I don't use S2U2 for unlocking all the time because I like the looks and functionality of CHT's lockscreen better, but I haven't seen a way to do connected/dialing locking with it.
Thanks in Advance.
