I am using windows 6.5 which has this 'iphone' type slide to unlock, but it only goes on if i lock it through the start menu. On my stock telus rom it auto locked and had you tap 'unlock' and confirm, which was annoying but turns out useful. In my pocket my phone now seems to like to call people and take pictures, so I'm forced to lock it, which is fine, but i wish it would auto lock everytime i put it into standby, is there a way to do this, but not the pin # lock, the slide the bar lock screen?

There is a setting in the S2U2 that will enable the lock when the backlight goes off... also you can edit the registry so that the autolock will come up like it did on 6.1.
I assume you like the wm6.5 automatic lock when suspend. If that is the case download smart lock

and set the setting wm6.5 lock and and suspend lock. after configured, hold end key for 10 seconds to activate it first time.

I installed the cab, but i dont see the application anywhere, its not in my list of apps, nor can i find it through file explorer...any help?
If you installed Smart Lock it will show up in Settings>System>Smart Lock. I know took me a while before I figured that one.
i got it. but it never does anything...
goto the registry and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1... that will enable the windows lock when you press the button at the top of the phone.
It is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
Make sure your reset your phone after you make the change.
sorry, I'm new to WinMo, what's a program I can use to edit my registry
Resco file explorer has a great reg editor!

Hi AstronusX
Do you know where else smartlock can be downloaded from, mirrors perhaps?
The link posted wont allow me to download for some reason.
I got smartlock also and edited the registry settings but still nothing happens. Any ideas?
Map the top key to launch DeviceLock.exe in the Windows folder using this program:

It will still retain the screen shutoff function, but will also activate the lock.

I just installed smartlock without registry edit, and it works fine on my HD2.
(Only changed the settings in program itself). Maybe the combination the problem

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
So I have the LockBot Pro on my HTC Hero and was loving it over the last few weeks as I have start customizing my phone (Non-Root.) I have been using the option to swipe and then enter a 4 character numerical code to unlock the phone.
Today I happen to notice that when I bring up the lock screen where you either have to swipe and/or enter the code, instead of doing either, if I just hit the call button, it bypasses it all, therefore making the purpose of the lock screen pointless. I wanted the lock screen with the numerical pin code for security purposes, and hitting the call button to bypass is not acceptable to me.
Do I maybe have an option set incorrectly that is allowing this to occur or is this a bug in the program?
Can anyone recommend me a good, sorry, a great Lock Screen APP (Preferably) one where you can set some kind of code you must enter to unlock the phone?
Thank you,
Whiteice
Hey there,
Probably a stupid question but when I add a pattern lock to my phone I lose the default lock screen.
When pressing the unlock button:
Without pattern lock - there are two sliders, unlock and sound on/off
With pattern lock - it goes straight the enter pattern thing.
I want to have a pattern, but also have the sliders, how can I do this?
Cheers!
I don't think you can.
i don't think you can either.. guess you must make a sacrifice
Hi guys, I am wondering if it is only me having this particular problem.
I have set a PIN for the screen lock. When I key in the PIN after dragging the camera icon on the lockscreen to the circle, THE MENU FOR THE CAMERA DOESN'T SHOW UP, I CAN'T EVEN PRESS THE 'BACK' BUTTON. IT JUST SHOWS ME WHAT THE CAMERA SEES AND I CANNOT TAKE PICTURE OR ANYTHING!
I have tried with the Pattern and Password, they did not work as well! But then when I set None for the screen lock, the problem doesn't exist and the menu pops up as it should normally.
FYI, I have done a factory reset and it didn't help.
Please help as I love this phone and I want it to be perfect. I think this is an awesome and beautiful handset.
Thx for ur replies!
