Solution: How to keep "Lock" from activating while

Finally!!!!
I finally figured out a solution that will work for any GPS Application (actually, ANY Application) that you want to "Keep Alive". The long and the short of it is this:
When you upgrade your WM5 ROM with the MSFP addition, the “Password” application (under START -> SETTING -> PERSONAL -> PASSWORD”) has been replaced by “LOCK”. This new application is part of the MSFP and is designed to give you greater protection for your data stored on your device. If enabled, this will “LOCK” your device if it doesn’t receive any input from the user. The real problem lies if you have your device set up to receive “Push Email” from an Exchange Server. The “Lock Settings” (i.e. how long your device will wait for user input until it “locks” the device) is established by your Exchange Server Administrator. If he/she has enabled the “Lock” feature to activate in 5 minutes, then your device will lock after 5 minutes of no user input. What’s worse is, as a user, YOU CANNOT CHANGE this setting. It has to be done on the Exchange Server side (i.e. your Exchange Server Administrator must change it).
There is good news and bad news.
First the bad news:
You must own or purchase a copy of SKScheMa (by SKTools (http://s-k-tools.com)). Cost is $9.60 at www.pocketgear.com
Now the good news: There’s a fix!
This is a three step process:
1) Install the software and configure it properly.
2) Add a script
3) Add a “Watch” Function
Step 1:
a) Download and install SKScheMa. I would recommend installing it to Main Memory (this is what I did and it works). NOTE: I got an email from the developer that THE INSTALL PROCESS MAY NOT COMPLETE ALL THE WAY. Once you install the program from AS, you need to go into "File Explorer" and double-click on the following icon: sksw.exe (under the \windows directory). This will finish the install. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE "WATCH FUNCTION". THE WATCH FUNCTION MUST BE ACTIVATED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SCREEN FROM LOOKING UP.
b) Open the software.
c) The first thing we need to do is to enable “Watch Mode”. Click on “Tools -> Settings-> General” and look for “Watch Mode”. By default, it is turned off. To turn it on, just click on the box “Watch Mode” to highlight it, and in the top box (above where you clicked), use the pull down menu to select “On”.
d) Now click on the box just below the “Watch Mode” (it’s titled “Make a shortcut for any saved script in …”). We want to turn this off, so once you’ve click on the box, use the pull down menu in the upper most box to select “No”.
We’re done with Step 1! Click “OK” using the left soft key and we’re moving onto Step #2
Note: To make sure you’ve successfully turned on “Watch Mode”, use the right soft key and select “Tools -> Queue”. In the “tool bar” on the main screen, you should see:
“Queue | Watch On”.
If you don’t, you didn’t enable “Watch Mode”. Head back to the beginning of step one and make sure you enable “Watch Mode”.
-----------------------------------------------------
Step #2
a) Copy the following into Notepad (on your computer):
#r(#label) #p(whilerunning)
#r(#sendkey) #p(#H)
#r(#0) #sleep(58000)
#r(#chkprocess) #p(TomTom Navigator.exe)
#r(#iftrue) #p(whilerunning)
#r(#label) #p(end)
b) On notepad, select “File -> Save As”. THIS FILE MUST BE SAVED WITH A “.sksc” EXTENTION (i.e. TOMTOM.sksc). To do this from the “Save As” window, use the “Save As Type” pull down menu and select “All Files” (NOT .TXT!!!!). Once you’ve selected “Save As Type”, type the name of the file AND THE EXTENTION next to “File Name:” (i.e. type in TomTom.sksc). Now just click “Save”.
d) Copy this file to the following directory on your PPC:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts
e) Proceed to Step 3.
------------------------------------------------------
Step #3
----------------------------------------------------
Method 1 (Longer):
a) Using the right soft key, select “Tools –> Watch”.
b) Using the left soft key, select “New”.
c) Scroll through the various fields and enter in the following information:
“Watch for” : Select from the pull down menu “Windows”
“Window title” : Type in “TomTom Navigator.exe” (without the quotes)
“To execute If the Window is Activated” : Type in “:SKSCHM” (without the quotes)
“with parameters” :
#r(#script) #p(\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts\TomTom.sksc) #onlyrun
(The above should all be on one line)
d) When done, use the “Left Soft Key” to select “OK”. You should see your “Watch Function” listed. Use your stylus to click “OK” in the upper right hand corner. Now whenever TomTom is launched, it will be “kept alive” with this program.
----------------------------------------------------
Method 2 (shorter):
a) Copy the following into Notepad (on your computer):
#c[TomTom Navigator.exe] #a[:SKSCHM] #ap[#r(#script) #p(\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts\TomTom.sksc) #onlyrun]
(This should be one long line)
b) On notepad, select “File -> Save As”. THIS FILE MUST BE SAVED WITH A “.sksw” EXTENTION (i.e. TOMTOM.sksw). NOTE: THIS IS A DIFFERENT FILE EXTENTION THAN THE SCRIPT FILE WE JUST CREATED. To do this from the “Save As” window, use the “Save As Type” pull down menu and select “All Files” (NOT .TXT!!!!). Once you’ve selected “Save As Type”, type the name of the file AND THE EXTENTION next to “File Name:” (i.e. type in TomTom.sksw). Now just click “Save”.
c) Copy this file to the following directory on your PPC:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts
d) On your PPC and using the right soft key, select “Tools –> Watch”.
e) Now select “Tools -> Context menu -> Load from File…”
f) Select the directory you just copied our “Watch Function” to (i.e. (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\sScripts\) and select the file you just copied over (i.e. TOMTOM.sksw) by highlighting and clicking “OK” with the left soft key.
g) You should see your “Watch Function” listed. Use your stylus to click “OK” in the upper right hand corner. Now whenever TomTom is launched, it will be “kept alive” with this program.
It sounds more complicated than it really is. Let me know if you some questions.
--------------------------------------------
A few comments on the script file:
#r(#label) #p(whilerunning)
% Creates a label for your "While Loop"; "whilerunning" Label
#r(#sendkey) #p(#H)
% Simulates the depression of the "Home Key"
#r(#0) #sleep(15000)
% This is a counter for 15 seconds (i.e. 15000 ms). You can increase this as necessary.
#r(#chkprocess) #p(TomTom Navigator.exe)
% Checks to see if the following process is running (i.e. TomTom Navigator.exe) You can modify this line for any application you want to keep alive.
#r(#iftrue) #p(whilerunning)
% If the process is running, return to label above marked as "whilerunning" (This is your "while loop")
#r(#label) #p(end) % end of "While Loop"
Hope this helps!
EDIT:
IMPORTANT UPDATE: For this to work properly, you must be using an English ROM. Thanks Rogier for the tip!

Ooooooo YES!!!!!
I am a Happy Man. This works now.
Seems the German Version of the Utility does not liked the script or so.
On an Englisch ROM all seems to work fine.
Thanks a lot for your help.ö

AMAZING!

cycle through brightness levels

Hi eveybody.
i'm looking for a little piece of software which i can use to cycle through the different brightness levels. Just as i can do it with the htc home plugin.
but this plugin is too big for me. i'd love to put it into wisbars system tray or make have it in any other home plugin.
i tried the search but didn't find anything.
hopefully i just tried the wrong terms for my search and you can tell me lots of applications
thanks...

i've tried the search on this many times. would love to get that HTC Home plugin brightness icon mapped to a hardware button. no luck yet.

what a shame...
anybody else? any ideas?

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379270

thanks!
will try....
hm... seems i'm too stupid to do it right. i don't know how i need to configure and which program i should start to cycle.
can you help m with this?

MVbklight for polaris:
- install MVbklight.1.4.1.cab
- unzip and copy to program folder (\Program Files\MalVal\MVBklight\)
- i have problems with today plugin, then delete MVBklight.dll after disable it in Settings>Today
- run Cfg.exe (MVBklCfg from Programs)
- on the second tab, first item language (set MUI), next OK
- run Cfg again
- on the first tab set "Settings for" to Manual, OK
- run Cfg again
- set "Device type" to WM5/WM6
- set "Battery DeviceIoControl code" to 0x7
- set "Power DeviceIoControl code" to 0x8
- Apply and OK
Now for cycle backlight run (from program folder):
Cmd.exe 0 2 5 7 10
or try Bklight_cycle.lnk
(cycle through 2 5 7 10, for other cycle try different numbers between 0-10)

SPB Mobile Shell 2 has what you're looking for: When the mobile shell comes up there are three screens. On mine, the brightness icon, a yellow light bulb with a dashed line below it, is in the very top left of the center screen, the one with all the program and setting icons, and allows you to cycle thru brightness levels while you're using it. I love it. I couldn't find the icon anywhere else in the shell, tho... Good luck.

Try to find ComManagerPlus developed by me
This programm can do this thing and many more. Freeware. Link later.

GREAT!
Thanks a lot!!!
Works wonderful.
you made me happy

I copied the .lnk file to the Start Menu -> Programs folder and I mapped it to a hardware button. Works like a champ.

1. Unpack CommManagerPlus_0.7.5.ZIP.
2. Install CommManagerPlus.cab from WM5WM6 directory on device.
3. Soft Reset device.
4. Place files from directory Lnk on device. (i.e \Programm Files\CommManagerPlus\)
5. Run CommManagerPlus.
6. Go to the Brightness tab.
7. In Brigtness Registry Section select - BackLight.
8. In ACBrightness or Single key select – ACBrightness
9. In Battery brightness key select – Brightness
10. In Mode Section check DeviceIoControl.
11. In dwIoControlCodeAC enter 8
12. In dwIoControlCodeBatt enter 7
13. InBrightness min and max set step to 2.
14. In min enter 1
15. In max enter 10
16. Tap Ok.
17. Tap Cancel.
18. Use brigtness.lnk installed from Lnk as you want.
19. Check another *.lnk

i must say that it worked like a champ (see my previous post) but I found my device a bit sluggish so I ended up removing MVBklight. How's CommManagerPlus performance wise?

That was (almost!) exactly what I was looking for, now mapped to the pointless (for me) Orbit's Windows button.
I did change a couple of things so it mimics the way the button in the HTC Home plugin works - changed STEP to 3, and MAX to 11 (just like Spinal Tap!)
Cheers.

unable to reliably verify your location - can't watch video with wwe network app

Hello,
I always get the error code "unable to reliably verify your location" on the wwe network app when I try to watch a video. With my Galaxy S3 (WWE App), Amazon Fire TV Stick (WWE App) and with Internet Explorer (website) on Windows 10 everything works fine.
I have already contacted Samsung and WWE. WWE says I should talk with the phone manufacturer and Samsung says I should talk to the app developer.
For Android prior version 6 WWE sent me the following solution:
Please follow the steps below for Android Troubleshooting:
Force Stop and Restart
1. Navigate to your home screen.
2. Tap on the Menu key.
3. Tap on Settings
4. Tap on Applications
5. Tap on Manage Applications
6. Tap on the application to close.
7. Tap on Force stop
8. Tap the Home key to return to your home screen.
9. Restart the device.
Enable Location Settings
1. Tap on device Settings icon
2. Tap on Location access
3. Make sure all location services are checked or enabled
4. Tap the Back icon
5. Tap on Developer Options
6. If Developer Options is not visible, do the following to enable
7. Tap on About phone or About tablet
8. Tap on Build Number seven times to unlock 9. Developer Options
10. Tap the Back key
11. Tap on Developer Options
12. Make sure the toggle in the upper right is set to On
13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked
14. Tap the Back icon
15. Tap on Apps
16. Tap on the WWE App application
17. Tap on Force stop
18. Relaunch App and Try to Watch
However this doesn't function with Android 6.0.1 and the S7 / S7 edge because number "13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked" isn't available anymore on the S7.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thank you very much

[Q] T95Q Android 8.1.0 enter key not working correctly

The enter key sends the currently selected character on the virtual keyboard instead of enter. I notice /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl already contains "key 28 ENTER" which is the normal fix I see for this issue. What could be wrong? It's still acting like DPAD_CENTER.

and restart
do the same for the file in
vendo/usr/keyboard
don't forget to restart after you have changed both files!
go to settings for this to change the behavior of the power button.
use the setings below and not the one above on the tile. this gives another access to the settings
