Is it possible to unlock device by pressing menu key after waking it up?
I use that on froyo, but now google for such mod and can't find anything.

To lock the keys on the treo 750 you hold the option key then press the red hangup/power button. option+power that is.
Does anyone know how to bind a key so that this will work?
For instance... I currently am using AE Buttons on my treo and want to map the red power button to lock the keys if I press and hold it.
help!
Why wouldn't you just set the keyguard to always lock when power is switched off?
Then it requires no keypresses to lock the device, it always wakes up locked.
Settings-Keyguard-"When power is turned off".
One of my favorite Treo features.
ahh sweet, didnt know that option was there.. thanks
Is there a way to disable the "menu" physical key for unlocking the device? I currently use a security path, but I hate it. I use it because the menu key seems to be quite "sensible" and I unlock the phone many times on my pocket.
The normal "slide to unlock" screen is very nice, but it serves no purpose since it can still be unlocked by pressing the "menu" key.
Is there a way to disable the unlocking by key (forcing you to "slide to unlock" on the screen)?

Currently I have my Android phone setup to use a numeric pin to lock the device. Unfortunately this means everytime the phone goes to idle (or directly by me pressing the power button) I have to enter the pin to use the phone. There are many instances when I don't want to have to do so, such as while driving when I want to be able to quickly and more safely glance at the phone.
Basically I want to lock the phone on an as needed basis, by simply tapping on an app on the homescreen (or perhaps even a different key combination e.g. volume up + power button). Does such a thing exist?
Power Control Plus works exactly as you described. You can toggle the lockscreen with the press of a widget:

Additionally, I like Unlock w/ WiFi, its automated:

Ummm widget locker
I have been using Tap Tap App to do this.
Screen Off and lock is perfect.
But I think there is still a problem when unlocking ur screen, u still need to press the power button...
No Lock can help on keeping ur screen off but not lock, so that u can press other buttons to trigger ur phone. But it seems that after reboot, the app is not working>.<
thanks for the suggestions! I'll give them all a try.
Good day. I am planning to get the Sensation XE. But i have a question regarding the unlocking of the screen. On my xperia arc, in order to unlock, i have the choice of either pressing the power button and swiping to unlock or pressing the home key and then swipe to unlock. For the sensation, do i really need to press the power button then swipe to unlock? Or can the volume key be used to press then swipe to unlock? Is there a software or program that could substitute the power button for the volume rocker button to unlock? I find it a hassle to always reach out on top of the phone just to press the power button. Is there a way to make this easier?
Yup here u go:

By default, you have no option. The only way to wake the phone (turn on the screen) is by pressing the power button.
But as "deadeye0908" linked above, you modify it to use the voume buttons (after S-Off & root).
Hi,
Can anyone please help me with any MOD which will wake the device with Home Key button instead of Power Button?
I have got a thread which talks about the mod but I am not getting the file name mentioned in this thread.

It's not a flashable file....
This is the trick:
It needs just a little tweak of the "/system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl" file, adding the "WAKE_DROPPED" to the end of the line of some other key with which you want to be able to wake up your phone.
Pressing the MENU button now shows the lockscreen and doubletapping it unlocks the device.
