wm2003 registry edit to lock all buttons except power - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

In wm2002 there was an option under Phone-tools-options-more. In there was an option to lock all buttons when turned off (except power) for carrying it in your pocket..etc
This is missing on wm2003 (my version anyway). Is there a registry edit that can be made to do the same ?
David
XDA 1
4.00.11
4.16.00

Try this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\KeyLock]
"KeyLock"=dword:00000001

That worked a treat.
Thanks.

special tweak: lock buttons

hello all,
im a frequent to this site, although i dont own a xda.. but i like what you guys accomplished till now ...
now.. my question is: in jeff's kitchen, there is an option "Lock all keys except power button while off " which works for pp2k2 devices.
anyone can tell me how this tweak works? is it a special programm or what?
thanks in advance, banshee
No, it is not a special programm, but you can also set it manualy in your settings of the xda. I think it will only set a Option in the registry...
Regards
Stefan
It's a registry setting. "Funny" thing is that WM2003 stores the setting in the same place in the registry, but somehow resets this registry value to its default when it cold-boots, which is why I made the setting "PPC2002 only".
hmm thats a pitty... i would have liked to enable the same setting on my ipaq...
could you show me where this is located?
im not in the position to create my own roms at the moment - but id still like to try it
As the "Lock Buttons" facility is under MORE on PHONE>OPTIONS in PPC2002 (along with auto-answer) and MORE does not exist under WM2003 (at least not with a 4.00.11/4.21 combination) is it possible to manually add a setting in the registry to activate auto-answer? If so, what? What is the entry for PPC2002? Could we try that?

Rotate your WM2003SE screen from start menu.

For all of those who are now running SE thanks to dcs and others. Just download this little app, unzip it, run setup when connected via activesync and then add it to your start menu. Works like a charm and saves having to hard map a button to rotate your screen we are already limited to buttons as it is. I just put it at the top of my start menu and can use from any application of course. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.
not bad at all. but what i did was use phm plus; it gives you the short cut icons to the items in the settings folder (like bt, clock, input, etc). in this case i copied the "screen" shortcut and had it appear in the today screen using tdlaunch. just click on the icon and the option for landscape or portrait comes up.
cheers
thanks .. that was a very nice utility ..
Cool, another way is to assign it a hardware button, very easy t flip on the fly.
RE
Hi ZeroXtreme!
If you'll to assign the RotateSE to a hardware button its slower than the default Rotate Screen because of the rotating circle.
I think creating a shotcut on the Today screen launcher program is still a better choice and it can also relieves one of the hardware buttons for other use.
Thnx
Works as intended...
thats weird :? ...
does'nt WM2003SE has a <Rotate Screen> at "Assign a program:" list in Buttons section ?! :?:
in my i-mate JAM i can rotate the screen between 'Portrait' and 'Landscape(right-handed)' by pressing "Record" button
i wonder if xda2 wm2003se has it or not, coz mine gone junk while i'm upgrading to chines rom SE
later 8)
@NightmarE
Yes, it does have the hardware button assignment, the problem is that most of us have already used all the hardware buttons for other tasks, so a Start menu option is a nice solution...
I agree I have upgraded to the blue angel but having it in the start menu is much better than hardmapping it to a button, I posted the app for those who want a different option, if you want to waste a button on just rotation then be my guest but some of like myself don't use screen rotation that often then it is better in the start menu and not on a button that I need, considering I use alot of apps like Microsoft Voice Command.
It os better to have it in the Start Menu than in a Today Screen, if you are in the middle of a app it is easier to just open the Start Menu and rotate than go through settings->screen or close then today then back to the app...
I'm using SPB Pocket Plus and add "rotate screen to the right" to close/minimize dialog ... That's just how I do it. Free Up start menu slot for my other frequently used apps.
Right now I'm quite a happy XDA2 user
use PHM utility to add a shortcut of RotatSE in Task bar near by bluetooth icon it will be like i-mate Jam icon 8) ...
laters :lol:
I assinged one hardware button to flip the screenand made the flipting system easily and fast...
Works great on the Treo 700wx. Thanks!
Hi, is ROM version 1.66.00WWE a wm2003SE?
Just tried the software a while ago but it didn't work.
Is there a version of this working on wm2003? just found out that my phone is not wm2003SE version but a wm2003, software not compatible with wm2003. :c
Works ok, but...
Hi.
It works fine, but how I configure it to rotate to the other side (clockwise) ??
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Need help with side button assigment.

Dear friends!
Does anyone know how to bind the side button (volume) under WM2003SE on Wallaby? Under PPC2002 and WM2003 it's work fine, but now...
Or, if someone has Wallaby runing WM2003 or PPC2002, can you take a look in registry key HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys and write here it's subkeys?
I have 40C1 and 40C2, meaning 0xC1 (button 1) and 0xC2 (button 2), that's all.

I have exactly the same problem
Doesn't AEButton Plus work?
V
How do I inderstand, AEButton Plus made for other devices and shouldn't work on Wallaby. It's couse the codes of slider buttons of Himalaya (something like 0x74 and 0x75) are different from volume button on Wallaby (0x87).
2 andrespeng: Under 2003SE in some applications this button works as ESCape.
So: if someone has Wallaby runing WM2003 or PPC2002, can you take a look in registry key HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys and write here it's subkeys?
I go back for wm2003 final
I am not using wm2003SEC any more, I go back for wm2003...the 2003SEC give too much trouble, and it is slow....now my Walby is working perfectly..........I donĀ“t have any registry editor, so I can not see the registry you ask, may be later I will download a registry editor from the internet,,,... i tell you later
download mapvolumese.exe from this thread

Re: Need help with side button assigment
My Wallaby running PPC2002 has the same two subkeys: 40C1 and 40C2.

Nice work.
Great work.
Nice work, thanks! Works on my HTC_Test AKU3.3 rom.
thanks kyphur!
How did you lose this feature, or did you make this for no AKU 3 users?
Does not work for me.
Running HTC AKU 2.3 (old) ROM with Green CommManager theme...
Do you have any idea why this is not working?

Yes this is for Roms other than the Cingular AKU 3.3 (such as AKU 2.x & Crossbow)

It wont even istall on my TyTn with Swedish ROM 1.18.263.2.
After executing the cab I get this message:
Comm-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.CAB was not installed.
Any way to fix it??
Works great! But I have one question: when App is activated and "on vibrate" mode is activated, a special icon is displayed on today's bottom tray. Is there any way to remove it/nto allow to show? I don't really have any space on today my screen for it...
Doesn't work on my Vario II :/ I'm using the rom it was shipped with (but unlocked radio stack).
nice work, thanks
Didn't work on my TyTN....original ship rom
Just checking to see if people did a soft reset / power off after installing. That was required for me.
I tried both a soft reset and a power on/off with no luck on my original ship rom.
does it work on the trinity as well? i'm using the last Dopod GPS rom (AKU 3.3 afaik)
thanks, very good idea

I second that, any reg key we can modify?

Some newbie 6.1 reviews....

I tried a few upgrade files here recently -
6.1 standard - Russian - Great looking Home Screen, sliding window 'frame' grows to allow access to apps from home screen, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
6.1 pro - Russian - Looks great, system seems to need touch screen, Number buttons do not selct and run program, 'Back arrow' button only works for text edits, not manuvering, Some of the speed increase is an overclocking I couldn't fugure how to cut off - wasn't a problem, just couldn't navigate to selections.
6.1 standard - 'OEM Cingular bloat'- Looks and works just like OEM WM5, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
I settled on 6.1 Standard - Russian - looks great and I can operate WMP from the home screen - I play a lot of podcasts. I would love to see a help with the xT9 problem - I would love to just type and have no help at all.
In going back and forth to try them all and the OEM from Cingular/HTC: had to re-'unlock app' after HTC/Cing OEM reload, and then re-spl in root after that.
2 notes, the OEM wrote right over the spl and replaced it with its own - maybe all could do that?
The other is for novice users - the mobile device shows up in Sync/Explore at an imaginary root (like a Desktop display in Explorer) named 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device'. You have to enter that fake root to get to the real root, that is labeled only '\'at the top of the window - that is the real root of the device, not the software 'root'.
What are the 'excel x' files? Are they just different templates?
How can I change what is listed at the home screen? (not photos, but camera for instance)?
Thanks for the work, everything worked even when not to my personal tastes.
Edits...
found out the 'x' office files are compatible with office 2007 and later, xlsx, docx, and so forth
found out holding the * key gives me a menu to turn off xt9 (hallelulah!)
still hoping to edit what's in home panels...
