Hi everyone
Is there a way to create a shortcut to DEVICE LOCK? I'd like to put a shortcut as a quick launch but I've searched the whole device and don't seem to see an actual executable to launch the lock screen. Is this possible at all somehow?
Thanks very much in advance for the advice!
I know this may not be what you are after,
however, if i put my device into standby (short press hang up key) it locks the device
also im not sure if it is ROM specific but on Miri 15.1 if you enter the start menu there is a lock icon on the bottom left...
Sorry if i couldnt help

I've got the Left SoftKey on the Homescreen set as "Lock" which simply links to a lockscreen.exe program. So from the home screen I just press Lock, instead of using the "Start Menu/Lock" option.
If you want to configure something like this drop the Lockscreen.exe into the Windows folder and then configure the Left SoftKey to point to it.
Alternatively, you could add it as a QuickLaunch link if you prefer that for some reason.

I am using S2U2, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668415 as my choice of lockscreen. It has settings that allow one to lock the screen when it goes blank/black.
So when I press the End/Power On button i.e. the extreme right button, it blanks the screen and S2U2 will kick in in the background.
For the left hand button, I have assigned it for rotating the screen to landscape.

To set the Lock (or any Link) as the Left Soft-Key on the Homescreen, change the following key in the Registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Default: Lock
Open: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\LockScreen.lnk
(or wherever you have the Link)
You could also use the Cookie home tab app. Besides the many other options it provides, you can add a lock screen button on the main screen and even modify your actual lockscreen.

I know this and have used it a lot. Not anymore though, since I don't really need it.

Nice, but I have no "\Keys\112" in there. I looked with Resco Registry. Thanks anyway!
+1 for S2U2
Hey I want to know if their is a way I can remove the sense 3.0 lockscreen shortcuts & keep it with just the ring like the mytouch 4g slide.

just hold a blank portion of the screen - go to personalize - lockscreen and you can change how you want the lockscreen to appear; there's an option for just the lockscreen without any shortcuts.

I want to change the color of some icons on Nox. For example the Phone icon is blue on my home screen dock,Nox has many colors of that same icon. How do I apply new color to that icon? I long pressed that icon and selected "edit" then tapped picture of icon in that same "Edit Shortcut" window and that brought me to the Nox entire list of icons. I scolled down to that same Phone icon, but different color. What is the next step?? By the way can you apply any Nox icon to any App or are they mostly App specific? Thanks,BB.

just tap on the icon you want and it should bring you back to the "edit" menu. click the ok/apply button there and it should stick.
The icons are not app specific

Thanks alot maaximal.
Is it possible? It's always the same, no matter what wallpaper I select in the launcher.
Click the little arrow in the top left and then select home and lock screen on the drop down menu
Nevermind, I just found it.

just try tap and hold on home screen and it will show you menu on bottom, select "wallpaper" after selecting your chosen pic, it will ask you if this will be applied to home, lock screen or both.
