Ok im sorry if someones mentioned this already, its just that i noticed it now and thought id let everyone know just incase no ones tripped over the idea.
as we all know, when S2U2 is installed on the diamond, pressing the power button on the top locks the phone and puts it into the slide to unlock interface, however alot of people have noticed that by pressing the home button, it takes you to tflow3d thus the S2U2 lock becomes useless on the diamond as you can easily and accidently press the home key while the phone is in your pocket.
N e ways back to the "revelation",
i was playing around with secondtoday, where i used the standard wm lock, and then pressed the power key to put it into the S2U2 interface, i now realised that the phone was trully locked, and nothing would happen when you press the home key.
n e ways, i just thought wouldnt it be possible to make it so that by pressing the power button, both the S2U2 and wm lock start at the the same time, and then when u slide to unlock the standard wm lock is also disabled.
im sure some1's thought of this, but i just had to share my thought just incase
Or you can use the new 1.13 version of S2U2, I think it solves this?

And you enabled the key lock? It's disabled by default.
I thought the new "Key Hook" feature did it. I don't have a Diamond, so I can't confirm.

Sure I came along this idea long time ago when there are so many other lock programs flowing around.
Technically, there are a few issues:
- the lock & unlock process of S2U2 & the device lock has to be in-sync;
- S2U2 has always be on top of the device lock when locked;
- automate the device lock & unlock (most other lock programs have done this part);
- take care of the CallerID.
Recently this idea came across my mind again, as you said, because of the "Home" button of the Diamond... On the other hand, there is a "long press end key" function in the Diamond for activating the device lock. It looks like very suitable testing bed is right on my hand... so let's see...
P.S. The latest version do try to fix the "Home" button but in another way. You may read HERE for more.
im sure youl figure it out A_C, take your time.
Thanks for what youv done so far

hello, just about all of the user from my work are recalling the last person they called. so i have been looking for a program to lock it with a hardware button. i found that and now i am trying to look for one that will not only lock it with one button but unlock it with one button also.
i have tryed looking around for it all over with no luck. Does anyone know of a program that we can use to be able to do this,
thanks again for all your help
There are 2 programs devicelock and deltalock and few others. Map them to hard button using settings\buttons or wm5 newmenu or other ways.
see thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50798
You can also try Mortsaver http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1437
You can assign it to a button, set it to also turn off the device (just like pushing the power button), and it locks the screen and buttons when activated.
hello mates,
is there any autolocking program like it goes on after 1 minutes?
Use devicelock - install it and under start menu\settings\devicelock there is an option to lock on wakeup. So if you device is set to suspend in one minute - it will lock when any attempt is made to wake the device up.

Hello guys,
As U all know, S2U2 and S2P is in fully progress. And a good program developed to a nice looking unlock plugin. So I used this program since beta. And I thought to make this unlock program much easier in use by just tapping a 'single button' to unlock to the Today screen. That why I called it Press to Unlock.
We can make this by simple config files and use other (animated buttons) instead of the common slider button. AND THAT makes this unlock program much easier in use. A nice look with an 'animated' button. A simple lazy unlock plugin.
Are there people who are in it? Or willing to develop this idea? I think quite simple, but there will be a NEED for this idea.
So who's in??
Why not just an option within S2U2?
Wouldn't said button be easier to accidently unlock phone with? Defeating the purpose of a lock program in the first place? Maybe I am wrong.
You do know there is an option to do this in S2U2...right?
All you do is enable d-pad and then you can use the right d-pad button to slide the slider as well.
if all you want is a button to unlock the device, the BUILT IN device lock today plugin will do that for you. you have to press the left soft key then tap a button on the screen and it will unlock. it may not be skinable like S2U2 but its already in the device, so why not use it?
For the life of me I can't find the device lock in settings, you know the one that gives you the option to lock all buttons except power button on device lock.
I would like to be able to turn the machine on by pressing something other than the power button but it seems it cannot be done.
Am I missing something?

I have managed to use the HTC lock but don't know how i did it. I do think that a good lock would be a plus for this phone.

What do you mean by 'HTC lock'? Where did you find this on the HD? I'm looking for the setting where you specify whether you want to lock all buttons or not?
In Settings > Buttons, go to the End Key tab and select the action you want when holding the End key. You can mae it pop up a menu if you want...
One of the options is Lock device.

hmm, yes, i found this but that is to lock the device using the long press end key.
What I am looking for is the setting where (at least on the diamond) you specify that the device locks all the buttons a) all the time b) none of the time or c) only when device is locked. i'm sure it was called button lock or similar.
That´s my problem, too. I would like to power on my HTC by using the volume buttons because the "power on" button is so small. Too small for my fingers
This = power on the HTC by using the volume button = is a possible option on the HTC Kaiser und Diamond.
Another question: Does a registry key for the button lock exist?
Thanks in advance
is there an app that locks the screen AT THE SAME TIME with the locking of the screen with the button on the top of HD?

Various apps for doing this including Smartlock (which I use), HD Tweak, LockMeLite and various others apps.
Once you've installed it Smartlock, go to Settings > system > smartlock and make sure 'suspend lock' is enabled. Now each time you turn on/off device using top button device will lock
thank you.can one of these programs UNLOCK the screen AT THE SAME TIME that the light goes ON?

Sorry don't follow you. You want a lock which unlocks device when the light comes on after pushing power button??
Putting phone into standby by pressing button will lock device if you use one of apps attached, but when you press power button again you'll need to unlock device by swiping finger across screen

i installed smart lock ,i see it in "remove programs" but i cannot find it anywhere!
well i mean it is in the path you gave me but not in the same position in the spb shell..anyway works great thank you!
what i meant with a preivious question is if it possible like when i press once the power button and display goes off AND device is locked,i want when the phone is like that to press the power button and the 1--display to light(as it does ) BUT also 2-- the display to UNLOCK also at once!
Pocketshield...
The app you're looking for is Pocketshield. It can unlock based on the light sensor...so if there's enough light touching the screen then it will unlock! It also does many other options too. Its not free but you can try it first...google it for their website
Yeah, sounds like pocketshield is the answer for you as none of the ones I mentioned has the light sensor option so you'd have to turn on device and then unlock it.

Guys,
Just taken delivery of my first Android handset - nice to be back on here, spent years on here when I ran WM! Anyway, I've been looking for and haven't found an app that'll let me wake the phone by pressing any button, rather than just the power button. Seen stuff for WM, but not Android.
Can anyone help?

to be honest having used the htc hero I was always getting frustrated cause everytime I took out the phone from my pocket I found it had unlocked cause the minute you pressed any of the home search , menu buttons the phone would unlock and it could then even make unwanted phone calls but as for the desire it only wakes when u press the power button which I think is great just my own opinion.
Try this one on the market :
http://apps.doubletwist.com/No-Lock/-2216879159323801559
When you'll hit any key, no more "slide to unlock", phoen wake up direct to home screen
Having used the HD2 I too miss this feature. Not necessarily pressing a key to unlock the device, but simply to bring up the 'drag down to unlock' screen.

Here is this one also - http://apps.doubletwist.com/Screen-ON-widget/6251491150679267019
These 2 apps replace the need to "slide-to-unlock", but wouldn't you still have to press down the "power" button to actually turn on the screen?
I too have found this a little annoying. I think this may be a feature that can be changed once rooting of the phone starts.
Sort of like re-mapping the hardware buttons to where all you have to do is hit the trackpad or MENU button to activate the screen.
Application like this?
http://apps.doubletwist.com/HeroKey-(root)/1990841848356448722
No this would be interesting to possibly get for the Desire. Allows you to remap the hardware buttons. Too bad it is -
1 - For the Hero
2 - Requires root
After pressing the power key, mine unlocks by pressing just the menu button as well, FWIW.

For now i've installed MyLock. It removes the lockscreen completely. Now i just press power once.

that's a bonus, thanks.
what would be even nicer would be if the screen woke up (to lockscreen is fine) on a press of any hardware button. guess it'll need root.
just figured out how i am using 2 programs one is nolock and seccond is Widget Locker. nolock wakes up the phone with any key and by default unlocks the phone BUT if you have Widget Locker installed it prevents from unlocking so that way you have your phone with any-button wake and still locked,tested with my LG 2x ,first app is lightweight and dont consume much battery.. i dont know if i made my self clear im italian email me if you want the link or any question
