Great
10x this works great and I can not belice I spend half a day searching.
One more question:
As I put some many programs on my Tytn I think it is getting slow, any solutions?

Nope, tytn has a samsung cpu. XCPUScalar is only valid for xscale processors.
There is not yet a working overclocking solution for the TyTN.

Pocket Hack Master
The last version has been completely rewritten and it handles SAMSUNG processors...
Supports Intel PXA210/PXA250/PXA255/PXA261/PXA263/PXA270/PXA271/PXA272 and Samsung S3C2410/S3C2410A/S3C2440/S3C2440A/S3C2442 processors!

Yes, but it doesn't work on the Hermes, you can overclock and underclock it, but it will hardreset and become unstable after a while. I tried with both production and preproduction (300Mhz samsung) versions of the Hermes with the same results.
wtf...."my tytn is slowing down" solution "overclock it", who brought the crack today?
First thing would be to see how much crap you have in start up, and how much junk you have on your today screen constantly refreshing, I have 30 applications installed on my tytn, and NO slowdown.
I should have ignored this thread, but working in the pc tech help for many years...I never would have imagined to tell someone to OC their pc if it was slow, same applies to this device, this isn't the Omap processor, as you all know...the tytn is actually fairly quick, if you don't muck it all up with memory resident poop.
Also, why anyone would bother with an app to change the softbuttons is beyond me, it just takes a couple minutes with a registry editor, which equals less junk installed on your tytn.
edit: sorry I was a bit surly this morning, and I couldn't stfu...it just looks to me that vid200 is a bit of a novice from his initial question (sorry if I am wrong, no offence meant vid200) by the nature of it and that the answer is easily found on google and the wiki.
I can understand pointing someone out the app to easily change the softkeys..it saves trying to teach someone about registry editing, but to tell that same person to OC their ppc when they haven't even really dug into manually tweaking it is just nutty, you have to crawl before you can walk.
vid200, if you don't have it, I suggest you give memmaid a try, and see what is slowin you down, also I don't know if the softbutton app you have permits it, but if you manually change the softkeys with a registry editor, you can link them to .cpl files, for example the taskman.cpl file found on this forum, and easily bring up the oem taskmanager, or any other control panel apps...battery..memory..there is a .zip floating around with most all the .cpl files in it, and when you stick with the oem monitors it helps with speed and battery life just less polling and memory usage, also just throwin the tip out there, some people might not know they can link to cpl's.
the only things that have slowed down my tytn are the wisbar advance (all of em) and Pocket PC PhoneAlarm,
I don't recommend both of them as they are resource hogs and have memory leaks,
aside from those two I have 30 so apllications and tons of today plugins and my device is fast and very responsive.
Hello all,
Need your help for the following:
I am trying to use left sofkey to lock pda, like we use on a nokia phone (left key + * to lock phone).
I have used SoftkeyAppletEx (Thanks Dotfred!), but i still could not find the correct block keys file to link to softkey.
For sure this is not impossible, as we can put that option on today screen.
Anyone could help to identify that file???
“Also, why anyone would bother with an app to change the softbuttons is beyond me, it just takes a couple minutes with a registry editor, which equals less junk installed on your tytn.
edit: sorry I was a bit surly this morning, and I couldn't stfu...it just looks to me that vid200 is a bit of a novice from his initial question (sorry if I am wrong, no offence meant vid200) by the nature of it and that the answer is easily found on google and the wiki.”
No offence taken, and yes I am a novice and I never messed up with registry before. Belive me I have searched and read forums and google, but softkey change just did not work on my device since all the other registry changes I made did work.. So I asked for help.
I will start the oem taskmanager and see if there is a problem.
10x for the advice
P.S.ne more question: where and how can I change the tone for messages, I can't find the folder to copy the ring tone in to.

You're not offensed, but I am. This so called 'ChaoticDruid' guy has no respect for the work made by others. I surely won't use 'Druid', because he has no wisdom being so pretentious, and I wouldn't use Chaotic but more 'Causing chaos'...
Surely, he's so clever that he advices a novice to play with the registry, this is very wise indeed. Furthermore, I didn't know that a Control Panel Applet could cause the slow down of a machine, but yes he has so many years of experience that he doesn't even know that. And I would add that not everybody wants to take a couple of minutes (I wish it was true if you don't know what you're looking for) to dig in the registry, if it can be done in two seconds.

Ok
I understand your point of view,
But this is a forum so I suggest we keep discussing things not arguing.
Well, so I read on other topics that SPB pocket plus is a slow down application and I have to admit I am using it so I am thinking of changing it maybe with some other programs.
Any suggestions, I would like to make my today screen like this:
Connection manager
GPRS counter,
Whether report
Messages (lsit all unread emails and tekst messages)
Tasks
Calendar
And Icons for the applications in tray bar.
I would also like to put new message (and have a choice: text, email or MMS) to the left soft key, but I do not know how.
BUT since I am a newbie I can only admire your today screens and hope I will find out somewhere how you did it.
I would like to ask how to change the ring for incoming message,
I would like to ask how to put icons in the bottom right corner in a tray bar where already the icon for emoze push mail is.
1) And for all of you out there thanks for the help you give me
2) I have the device for 4 days and my girlfriend says it is all I have been doing for the past 4 days so don’t even thing I’m not spending hours and reading forums and searching.

PHM Tray Launcher allows you to add a tray icon in the taskbar.
I also use SPB Pocket Plus, so for another "today manager" ask to others, this one is enough for me.
Use Tweaks2k2.Net
There is a specific tweak to override the sofkeys' setings.
You can replace key caption or programs, for instance you can remove "Calendar" and set "Agenda" and so on for Contacts
Change your Left/Right Today softkeys
Here is the registry tweak you requested -
================================================
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
=================================================
Actually, you can select any name or app on the Left /Right softkey. Test the length of the word (make sure it fits all on the bar). You may get the application ".exe" from /windows folder of your device.
I would advise though not to fiddle on the right key as that is a bit complicated.
For example, mine I used on the Left softkey the name "Phone Pad" and used "VTKey.exe" (without the quotes) instead of Calendar and Calendar.exe. It worked perfectly well on my Imate Jasjar with no problem at all on portrait/landscape orientation. Hoped it does, too, on your device.
Cheers !!!
Look for SoftKeyAppletEx to remap your softkeys ..
Hi dual-owners,
Anyone has a problem where when typing using the keypad (slideout keypad) you cant use the navigate button (left/right) to select the predictive word options.
U will need to touch the word option instead.
I think there was only one time where I could successfully use the navigation to select the words when typing?
Is this a common problem??
Thanks

Not me. I always navigate right and left with the button... Have you tried a soft-reset?
still a problem
Yes Sir,
I tried many soft resets - seemed weird at 1st but thought thats the best they (HTC)could do with a slide out keypad.
The navigation button to select word option works when ur not using the keypad (slid back in) but once u start to use it - the navigation button just wont work for me. have to reach up and select a tiny word option (which most of the time i miss) ..
This is my 1st PPC (sold my slow n95) and i love it except for this little annoyance + no wifi
So fellow PPC owners- if anyone has a solution i'll be grateful.
cheers
try hard resetting your device, (note not a soft reset.)
as it works fine on my orange branded touch dual.
it could be related to the operator rom that is on it, but i wouldn;t expect so.
Hi there,
I also have the same problem.
I also tried many soft reset but is the same.
I found PQz II Keyboard has an issue with this problem.
After uninstalling it, actually I had a hard reset and then install software one by one, the problem has gone.
Hope this help.
Yup thanks! all!
Did a hard reset and everything is back to normal (all workin fine now)- oh yeah the blank notification thingy is also gone -
Be AWARE: prior to hard reset make sure ur files in the storage arent encrypted and at least back em up somewhere. Cause my files (pics and music etc) became unreadable after the hard reset . (this is due to the encryption key that was auto-set by the phoneware on my "phone-state" prior to hard reset.)
Cheers

this seems to be a great idea! I copied it to my memory card and couldn't run it cause I don't have .net 3.5.
I'm not interested in installing it cause it would take to much memory for other installs(waiting for a cooked 3.5 rom).
Try making a 2.0 compatible version of technic.exe first.
But this one is a good software to look up to. I use s2u2 as my locker and I miss configurable gestures to unlock.
Organic lock is going to be great! no doubt about it!
looking forward for:
1 - 2.0 compatible technic.exe
2 - full gesture control(i'm guessing this version allows only the click of the "checkpoint" and not the gesture)
3 - locking sequence not explicit(as for only owner knows it.. if not done yet)
Thumbs up to your work!
philocritus,
I didn't quite understand the 3rd point. Could you explain?
Made Technic compatible with .NET CF 2.0. Check new archive.
I can't seem to put in a gesture on my Kaiser. It doesn't detect any strokes of mine unless I make them very quick and very hard and even then, the strokes aren't the ones that I made, they seem pretty arbitrary.
I have to use the "Blind" option....lol

You have to tap the moving "lava" parts when you tap the black area your hit is not registered. So you basically have to tap the lava as it passes your pre-determined point.
I mean when I'm trying to define my gesture.
Excellent!
A new idea...wow!
Tested it out, and it works as it should....though I do have a few suggestions:
1)Instead of the 'lava' theme, try a easier theme....like dragging around a block in a grid would be an easier metaphor...like those picture puzzles!
2)kinda resource-hogging...slim down maybe?
Overall, a 5/5

Thanks Rev! I'll check it out and send you the results
as for the 3rd point I'm talking about having a static image as background and only the user knows where to touch to unlock. any other guy can't unlock it that way(kinda like a organic password)
Nice work.
But here, with lock enabled, phone doesn't ring.
Bye
This didn't work with my touch when I ran organic-panic. I opened that .exe, and my screen froze. I turned off the phone and turned it back on. I finally saw the lava screen and the little pockethal logo on the bottom right but the screen was still frozen. Is this running in DirectDraw? Last time this kind of thing happened is S2U2 v.93 or something and I think it was due to DD.
Interesting new idea. Subscribing to keep an eye on the progress.
ok rev here are the results on my trinity:
organic and organic-panic both run and respond only to the cancel button. couldn't unlock it...
when the display went off it never came back on...
maybe a .net 2.0 problem? or am I getting something wrong?
my perception is that there is no response to touch screen...
See these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375294&highlight=gesture
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362231&highlight=gesture
Others who put some thought and effort into something like this. I think it would be great. I added my ideas in those threads. I still wish it could be a "Gesture 2 Action" module, that could be integrated with S2U2 at some point cuz S2U2 has pretty much all the "locking and unlocking" functions down. It is evolved enough to handle almost all the use cases with notifications, locking buttons, and what not. All we'd be adding is a different "trigger" to initiate the unlock. I'm not saying its easy, but its gotta be easier than trying to redevelop all the code to do all the other functions, when all this is really adding is the gesture part.
Again, MHO.
New version.
0.8 (latest):
- Using GAPI instead of closed PocketHAL libs (so you need gx.dll)
- Removed both locker screens
- Added another unlocker screen (Checkers)
- Works with standard screen locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). This needs to be checked with other lockers' authors (in future version).
- Number of points can now be from 5 to 10.
- Installable .cab instead of .zip
See first post for .cab
If you can combine the functionality of S2U2 (notifications, time, now playing, etc)... this would be one of the top 5 best apps for WM6 available, period.
Yes, It does work on my prophet
I ,however, don't how to use even I read the instruction
May you record a live teaching video?
it's locking me all the way..
Very interesting idea that I want to see succeed. Subscribing to monitor progress/development.
WB
New version - 0.8.0.2:
- Slightly different Checkers unlocker
- Accuracy (difficulty) increased
- Device is now automatically locked after soft-reset
It works well on my prophet! However, I dislike it locking instantly on a soft reset, although this is just my preference...
This thread can be closed.
I am able to reproduce this situation, but extrangely, my 20 keys keyboard acts as a 16 one (my error, downloaded the wrong cab).
Will update with the right one.
Edit:
Installed the QVGA_CpKbd cab and the bug still exists. This situation happens whilst using abc mode. With T9, a weirder thing happens. Typing for "holy" (4 key press) and hitting backspace, instead of deleting a letter, it changes the word to "gole" (still 4 letters). Same thing happens on the soft keyboard, but the abc "problem" is fully solved.
If you need further information, dont doubt in asking.
As side information, im on great hellonasty´s Mary 6.1 OS 5.2.20753

Thanks a lot for testing it.
Now, a list of questions that might seems weird or even deserve an obvious answer, but that are of utmost importance.
1] Your rom is WWE based ?
2] Are you experiencing the issue using the english language ?
3] The T9 english dictionary doesn't have a 'gole' word. Could you launch eT9MyWords from the Programs folder, and check if it has been added as a custom word ? If yes, could you delete it and make the T9 test again ? This doesn't seem to be an hardware issue like the first - it might be unrelated.
4] you say that the backspace issue happens only in ABC mode. Please open the T9 settings and uncheck the "Word Completion in ABC mode" checkbox and the "Spell Correction" one. I don't know if you can set these options even when using the hardware keyboard, but just try. Then, try to see if the backspace issue is still there.
I'm sorry to overwhelm you with questions, but I have just a Kaiser, and I can't reproduce the issues here, first of all because my hardware mapping files are different.
If you can help, your support will be greatly appreciated. If not by the other 'get it and run' users, at least by me and a small good bunch of fellows (who are too timid to post their reports ).
Thanks !!
1] I believe it is, but cant assure it. The rommaker post is this
2]yes, the language was set in english
3]I have seen gole was added to eT9MyWords. Deleting the word, seems T9 works as expected.
4]removing autocomplete in abc mode keeps the disfuntion. Uncheking spell correction and auto-substitution wont solve this issue. Also tried uncheking T9 word completion without success
Ps:
Been trying with all T9 settings checked (spell correction, completion in T9, completion in abc and auto-substitution) and the problem gets fixed. When I tested the first time, spell correction wasnt checked. This makes some changes, as the whole last word keeps "selected", instead of the last word. This could work as a workaround.
Weird thing is that I cant manage to keep T9 mode on. Each time I try to write a new sms, it defaults to abc.
Dont worry if you need more tests, or even installing a debug version (or whatever you would need)

Uhmm... another rom with the Opal EzInput installed. So far all the cooked roms have been using a pre-release version which doesn't include the fix that you can find on my thread. See, basically, HTC manages HW layouts in four different ways, and the settings extracted from the Opal rom are those for phones without keyboards. You can't imagine how many issues are related to this mixed configuration. I don't think this is the case, but only our tests will be able to tell the truth.

Good move, very good move. But the fact is that if you unselect one option - I suppose - the issue reappears.
I can't understand what's happening. Actually, what's the difference between the correct behaviour and this one ?
In ABC mode, does the last letter always gets selected when you type ?
I thought that the letter was reappearing because the ABC autocomplete option or the spell check were trying to correct it.
So, if you write just a bunch of meaningless letters, and then delete the last, does it reappear ?
After these tests, if you have a registry editor, could you try to delete this key, to see if it helps ? You should soft reset, after that.
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KdbFiles/07FF
It's an empty keyvalue.
Weird thing is that I cant manage to keep T9 mode on. Each time I try to write a new sms, it defaults to abc.

We can probably fix this one.
You can change this value:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/CarrierDefaultTextMode
from 0 to 1. Soft reset after that.
This should give you T9 as default. Do you mean that this should be the default mode, on the Dual ? I've read elsewhere that HTC has made a fix to set ABC as default. Weird.
Dont worry if you need more tests, or even installing a debug version (or whatever you would need)

I might ask you to uninstall my cab and delete all the keys used by the application, to be sure to avoid any misconfiguration chance, but this would mean that you would have to hard rest the device to bring them back.
I know that Manila2D users should be prepared to make an hard reset for each build, but it's a bit too 'destructive'. But we might proceed to do it the next time you're going to do it anyway, right ?
The fact is that I'm walking in the dark, and everyone seems interested just in his phone. Quite embarrassing for the whole forum, if it were not for the few users willing to help, like you.
Thanks a lot for your great support.
Well, i have unchecked every setting (spell correction, completion in T9, completion in abc and auto-substitution) and the problem keeps appearing. What I have seen is that you have to press backspace really quick, as the selected letter goes deselected in just a second.
In ABC mode, does the last letter always gets selected when you type ?

Thats it, in abc mode, with spell correction unchecked, only the last letter keeps selected. Otherwise, is the last whole word the one selected.

Yes, its certainly the spell checking the step causing the issue.
Have deleted HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KdbFiles/07FF (and also edit HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/CarrierDefaultTextMode, thanks for that) and softresetted. Now the problem only can be reproduced when checking Auto-substitution (the other three options unchecked), but still exists.
I will hardreset if you need it (it´s not a big deal), and maybe its a rom-related error, as Manilla is still beta. Maybe I wont be able to do it as quick as changing some reg keys, but will definetly do it.
PS: The CarrierDefaultTextMode hasnt changed the T9-default-behaviour. I´m not sure if HTC wants abc as default, but i believe each user should be able to choose and mantain it. The funny thing is that I don`t use the hard keyboard at all, as I just my Nike to call and get called.
Sorry for my probably frequent engrish

You're then saying that deletion of that key actually changes something.
Well, at least I can remove it safely. I though that it was just an error in one of the fixes made by HTC, and it seems I was right. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be enough.

No, there's no need to hurry. I've asked to 16keys users to test it, too, and they report the same issue. Chances that everyone is using a wrong rom are low, quite low. But whe you will be ready, we can give it a try...

You're right, and this is a bug that we'll try to solve.
It's quite strange that the setting doesn't work, but I'll try with the other users, and I'll let you know as soon as I'll discover something about it.
Your support has been great, there are no words to thank-you. But if you'd like to get something fixed on this package, your request will always get a good psotion in the list.

Well, whenever you need something to test, dont doubt in pming me
Hi,
installed (on my 16 Key Nike) newest Lily Rom (without Keyboard) and use your cab file. Hardware Keyboard is working
For me it seems the Keyboard has a little lag, but nothing to be worry about.
If you need some further information or some testing, i can do it for you
Thanks for your great work!
//Update:
Your new Version Beta 1.1 seems to work better, or at least i feel so *gg*

Your new Version Beta 1.1 seems to work better, or at least i feel so *gg*

Well, I fear that you're just too kind
Others are reporting the same issue, so something needs to be fixed.
But the registry settings that I've put in the Nike cabs are exactly the ones that come from the stock roms and the keyboard hotfixes from HTC, so it could be a problem related to the fact that HTC is no longer developing for the Nike form factor.
I know that this is better than nothing, but all the time I'm spending on it just for a "better than nothing" is not a good thing...
Anyway, I almost missed your post - could you come back to the official thread ? A least I'll have more time to debug that damned cab...
Thanks,
BJK

I would like to see swedish language support. Reason: IMO I think quite a lot of swedes use these devices.
Using BJK's packaged I had two differences to the reg settings above:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9]
"HTCStyleSelectionList" was set to 1
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"3PartyIME" was set to 1
There are other values in place as his package is for 5 languages.
Regardless of whether these values were set to 1 or 0 the backspace issue as mentioned above always occurs.

You'll see it, but after the main bugs will be solved.
Swedish is still missing some files that have to be rebuilt from scratch, and obviously the support has to go first to the problems that are affecting all users...

Thanks but... which issue are you talking about ? The Backspace issue, or the T9 not set as default method ? They are the only ones we're talking about, but if you have discovered something else, it would be good to know !
Thanks,
BJK
On WM6.5 and WM6.5.x you have the option of using the new sliding lock screen. I for one prefer to use the old 'Windows Classic' lock screen (i.e. the one where you have to tap the soft key then an unlock button like in WM6.1, see images), as it uses less memory and allows me to see the today screen. However, on many ROMs for HTC phones, even stock ROMs, it doesn't seem to work properly with regards to incoming calls.
When you receive an incoming call, the lock screen pops up asking you to tap unlock, but it is unresponsive and obscures the caller ID screen, meaning you can't see who's calling you or the accept / reject slider. On phones / ROMs were it does work properly, you sometimes still have to press the unlock button manually before you can do anything.
This had annoyed me for ages and I couldn't find a solution, so since I am learning C++ at uni, I decided to try and teach myself Win32 programming and create a a program to fix it. The result was this little utility, my first windows mobile app
The program basically just sits and waits for an incoming call, and when the system notifies it of one, if the device is locked it waits for the unlock screen to pop up and then very quickly presses the '*' key. The result is that the device unlocks before the screen messes up, allowing you to see the dialler! The app is very lightweight (executable is only ~6KB), fast (native code), and does not use the CPU whilst idle since it makes use of the windows messaging notification system. Should theoretically work on any resolution on any device, but I've only tested it on my Touch Pro2 (WVGA).
I originally made this just for myself, but XDA Developers has been so useful to me over the years I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys For this reason it is provided as is, I may or may not add to it. I'll try and fix any bugs and stuff if they arise, but I'd like to keep it a simple, lightweight app.
[size=+1]VERSION HISTORY:[/size]
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Multilingual support. If v1.0 works for you, you don't have to upgrade but you can if you like.
Fixed the bug that causes program to crash if not using an English ROM.
Removed message box that tells you you're using the sliding lock. Program now just exits silently.
CAB file now changes the registry key to disable the sliding lock screen for you.
[size=+1]INSTALLATION:[/size]
I've attached the EXE in a zip file, simply unzip, place it on your device somewhere and run it to activate the program. Run it again to exit the program. You might like to place a shortcut in \Windows\Startup. The program will not run if you have the WM6.5 sliding lock enabled, you need to have set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen] "Enable"= dword:00000000 (obviously).
I've also made a cab file which just simply places the EXE in \Program Files\DeviceLockXT, and creates a startup shortcut and the reg key for you, if you prefer
If you already have DeviceLockXT installed and are installing a newer version, you probably need to stop the old one from running first, and you should probably uninstall the old CAB before installing the new one. I don't know what difference it will make if any.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: In the unlikely event that this program damages your device / causes you to lose data / kills your cat / whatever, I am not responsible. Use at your own risk.
Feel free to include it in a custom ROM if you like!
This looks interesting. Like you, I also do not like the latest lock screen (I've been searching forever for a better one). Does yours support PIN lock? And if you wouldn't mind, I think it'd be cool to see a screenshot (or just a google image), I'm not sure if I remember the classic lock screen you are referring to...
Certainly! Images added & first post updated
The reason I like it is that it isn't a lock screen as such, more of a lock softkey. This allows you to see through to the lovely HTC flip clock when the phone is locked / you turn it on to see the time. You only see the rather ugly looking grey screen when you want to unlock the device.
The program will run if you have PIN lock enabled, but there is no need to use the program in this case, it will literally sit there doing nothing. If you are using the PIN lock then the dialler screen works fine, at least on my phone anyway
To use the Windows Classic Lock Screen with a PIN just set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
Then enable a PIN in Settings > Lock and you're good to go! No need to install my program You can also set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"ShowLockScreenPicker"=dword:00000001
To get an extra tab in Settings > Lock which lets you change lock screen without editing the registry.
EDIT: There is not supposed to be a space between the c and r in LockScreen in the reg keys, don't know why the forum does that.
I'm also a fan of the "Windows Classic Lock Screen", and have encountered the same problem that you describe!
So thanks a lot for this great tool, I'm trying it ASAP.
i see your point of locking and seeing at the same time your home screen right there and then and i think i'm liking it. i'll give it a try. any chance to change the "ugly" gray unlock screen to something else? a simple black one would be good for me, or better still to a customized background.
edit: btw, does this work on stock wm 6.5? it says 6.5+ in your post.
Yup, I meant 6.5+ as in 6.5 and above (including both 6.5 and 6.5.x)
Not that I know of, the grey screen is part of the windows mobile locking program itself so I don't think it can be easily changed. On some ROMs I have tried the grey screen is skipped entirely, unlocking straight away when you press the softkey, but this is tied to something at the ROM level I think. So it's possible, but I don't have the time or ability to figure it out
Another way to do it would be to write your own locking program from the ground up that mimics the standard windows classic one, then you could do what you like, which interestingly is what I tried initially. But it was much harder than I thought! Defeats the point of utilising what is already on your phone though, which is what I like to to (minimal 3rd party software).
I repeat my program is NOT a stand alone lockscreen, but a utility to hopefully make the built in one work properly. In my opinion the windows classic lock is fine as it is, apart from the issue my program aims to fix
Great job!
This little app works very well and it does what it promises.
The grey screen is something that I've seached how to change for quite some time, but haven't found nothing. It would be very cool if we could edit it!
This is just awesome...thanks so much for sharing...
What about cooking this program into ROM? Is it fine to do so?
Yeah sure, it says so at the very end of the first post (under 'Disclaimer')
Uch, sorry, I never read disclaimers or other important notes.
Keep up great work. I'll include this software into my ROMs if I don't find anything annoying
thank you very much.this problem is annoying me for a long time,i'll have a try.is this work well,i'll get a reply.wish it work well and jack use it in his roms~
It's work very well in my phone,thank you very much~good job~
Been using this for a day or so now...no complains...works as intended. Thank you!
i find a problem with the app.when i use the app,the screenlight is turn on and turn off,it's change all the time.when i use the swith button to turn off the screen light,the screen light will turn on soon.and if i close the app ,the screen light became well.what's the wrong?can you help me ?
I'm not sure what would be causing that behaviour, what device are you using? What version of windows mobile / ROM are you using? Do you have any other screen lock type apps installed?
It is nice
but unfortunately it works only for WM6.1
i hope i can find one for WM6.5
