If you are fine with StylusLock 1.7, just keep using it. However, because StylusLock 1.7 is integrated in TouchLockPro, new developments within StylusLock 1.7 are not expected. So keep your eye on the new thread (you can even subscribe to it, via the "Thread tools" feature of XDA).

There are already a lot of applications to disable touchpanel and/or hardware keys for the Touch Diamond. I added another simple one:
StylusLock
Youtube video StylusLock in action on wmpoweruser.com. Note that this video is version 1.1. New version 1.2 onwards has a StylusLock indicator and vibration is different
Version 1.6 onwards has a BattClock, indicating the locked status

Locked:
Features:
* Great to have *ANY* application locked, e.g. GPS navigation, Music player, Home screen, so you do not accidentally press touchpanel/hardware buttons.
* Works with Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.
* Be able to put the Touch Diamond in your pocket with touchpanel and all hardware buttons locked.
* Taking out the TD from your pocket: the touchpanel or a hardware button cannot be accidentally pressed when locked.
* Avoid missed calls, by accidentally pressing the TouchPanel and/or hardware buttons.
* With Bluethooth headset still incoming calls can be answered, although it is locked (confirmed by others)
* No effect on Battery life.
* Consumes no CPU cycles (only in case of an Stylus/Power event, no polling). Check it with a Task Manager!!
* Use Stylus for locking/unlocking
* Clock and battery percentage indicates Locked/Unlocked, pressing the indicator enables "Stylus lock mode" (version 1.6 onwards)
* Unlocked when on AC or USB power
* Vibration when changing lock state to locked
* Not having the Vibration bug of "SensorLock"
* Go to Suspend when locked and the backlight goes off (v1.3 onwards)
* Possibility to overrule default behaviour (v1.4 onwards)
What does it do:
* There are 2 modes, "stylus lock mode" enabled and disabled
- Mode 1 - enabled - stylus in = phone locked
- Mode 2 - disabled - stylus in = phone not locked
* You can enable "stylus lock mode" by pressing the BattClock (version 1.6 onwards)
* You can toggle the "stylus lock mode", by taking OUT the Stylus and putting it back IN within 1 second (3 seconds in versions before 1.4)
* In fact the second mode permits not to use the lock functionality, in order to use your fingers on the touchpanel and hardware buttons, rather than the stylus.
* On startup/boot/reset it will be always unlocked and "stylus lock mode" is disabled
* It will always be unlocked, when the Stylus is OUT
* It will always be unlocked, when on ACPower/USB power
* It will always be unlocked, when the program is exited
* In "stylus lock mode 1", putting the Stylus IN and on battery-power, the touchpanel and all hardware keys will be locked
* In "stylus lock mode 1", when switching to battery-power and the Stylus is IN, the touchpanel and all hardware keys will be locked
* Vibrate once when switching to unlocked state (till version 1.1, version 1.2 onwards does not vibrate anymore, because there is a StylusLock indicator when locked, saves battery)
* Vibrate when switching to locked state and/or "stylus lock mode" enabled
How to install:
* Deinstall the previous version of StylusLock and/or other locking programs
* Copy the StylusLock.x.x.CAB file from your computer to the Touch Diamond or Touch Pro Memory card
* Go via the explorer of the Touch Diamond or Touch Pro to the location where you copied the .CAB file and click on it to start installation
* Advice is to install it to the Phone memory and not to the Memory card, StylusLock is very small and so it also works in "DiskDrive" mode
How to use:
* Choose your "stylus lock mode", by using the method above (toggle the "stylus lock mode", by taking OUT the Stylus and putting it back IN within 1 second)
- e.g. if you want to put the TD in your pocket, enable "stylus lock mode"
- e.g. if you have your TD lying on the table, disable "stylus lock mode"
- e.g. you can also use always the "stylus lock mode" when your are fine to take out the stylus for unlocking (you do not need to operate the Power button anymore)
How to go to sleep mode immediately AND locking the phone when in "stylus lock mode"
Press the Power button and insert the Stylus. You will feel a vibration when the phone gets locked. In this way you do not rely in the Windows settings for going to sleep, it will go to sleep immediately.
Version 1.7
* Possibility to disable BattClock press via registry setting ClockClickable
Version 1.6
* Instead of the locked notification icon, now a Clock with Battery percentage is shown on the position of the battery icon
* When pressing the Clock, the "stylus lock mode" will be enabled
* When the phone is locked, the Clock will swap the background and foreground color, to indicate it is locked
* The default position of the BatteryClock can be overruled
* BattClock takes into account portrait and landscape mode (a negative value of ClockX position will count relative from the right, instead of from the left)
* The default foreground and background colors of the clock can be overruled
* StylusLock will become active after 30 seconds instead of 5 seconds, so the phone has time to start up
* Still Stylus(BattC)lock does consume no extra battery/CPU
Note that I hope that people having problems with the locked notification icon, do no longer suffer problems with this approach. Please let me know if this is solved now. Be sure not to run in 1.1 compatibility mode, though.
How to overrule default settings:
It is possible to overrule the default settings via registry HKCU\Software\ZuinigeRijder\LockSettings
Please use a registry editor to create the DWORD values, e.g. PHM RegEdit.
A value of 0 means No and a value of 1 means Yes. The default DWORD value is also mentioned. Please make sure to do a soft reset after adding the appropriate overrule settings.
* lockTouchPanelOnly = 0
* vibrate = 1
* beep = 0
* lockIndicator = 1
* clockClickable = 1
* suspendOnBacklightOff = 1
* unlockOnACPower = 1
* stylusAlwaysControl = 0
* stylusOutInToggleTime = 1000 decimal or 3E8 hexadecimal
* ClockX = -96 decimal, corresponds to unsigned 4294967200 decimal or FFFFFFA0 hexadecimal // minus means relative to the right
* ClockY = 0
* ClockWidth = 48 decimal or 30 hexadecimal
* ClockHeight = 48 decimal or 30 hexadecimal
* ClockBackground = 0 // Black, RGB(0,0,0)
* ClockForeground = 16777215 decimal or FFFFFF hexadecimal // White RGB(255,255,255)
You only need to define the values you want to overrule.
How to Use
Unlocking use case when "stylus lock mode" is enabled and e.g. a phone call is coming in.
* Option 1 (when you want to use the Stylus or have place to put it somewhere):
- Take the stylus OUT and keep it out
- Answer/Reject the call with the TouchPanel or Hardware keys
- When done with the call, put back the stylus IN
* Option 2 (if you do not want to use the Stylus and have no place to put it):
- Take the stylus OUT and put it back IN within 3 seconds ("stylus lock mode" disabled)
- Answer/Reject the call with the TouchPanel or Hardware keys
- When done with the call, Take the stylus OUT and put it back IN within 1 second ("stylus lock mode" enabled) (3 seconds for versions before 1.4).
Unlocking use case when "stylus lock mode" is disabled and e.g. a phone call is coming in.
- Answer/Reject the call with the TouchPanel or Hardware keys, because they are not disabled
I would like to thank surfsmurf for his SensorLock software which made it possible for me to have a quick start in programming Windows Mobile and the trick of locking the touchpanel and hardware keys.
Version 1.5.2
* Reverted back to version 1.5 (1.5.1 did not solve the crashes and gave other problems)
* Fixed bug with lockTouchPanelOnly = 1 (version 1.5 did not work with this setting)
* There can be occasional lockups, when using the lock indicator. You can disable the lock indicator with setting lockIndicator = 0 or use version 1.1.
Version 1.5.1
* Reverted lock code, because the 1.5 version did not work with lockTouchPanelOnly = 1
* lock indicator is now added/removed in Window callback
* Again an attempt to solve the reported crashes
Version 1.5
* Integrated latest lock code from SensorLock 0.3.4
* Maybe this solves the reported crashes
Version 1.4.1
* Fixed bug when lockTouchPanelOnly = 1 was set and a call comes in, the TouchPanel was unlocked. Now I reapply the lock on resume.
* Because of the complaints of crashes, I now do the Add/Remove of the lock icon in the background.
* Also there is a delay of 1 second before the icon gets added or removed and the lock status has not changed in that time.
* However, I do not know if this solves the crashes, but you can give it a try.
Version 1.4
* Solved the rarely occurring lockup bug
* Changed the Stylus Out/In time from 3 seconds to 1 seconds
* Made it possible to overrule the default settings via registry HKCU\Software\ZuinigeRijder\LockSettings
Version 1.3
* Go to Suspend when locked and the backlight goes off (v1.3) (saves again extra battery automatically)
* You can control this duration time via Windows Mobile power setting "backlight off time"
* This way someone can also quickly put on the phone with the Power button to check e.g. the time. It will now fall earlier to sleep
* So you do not need to wait too long for putting the Stylus back, if you do not want to toggle.
* Again did some measures for preventing rarely occurring lockups. I am convinced the problem is not fully solved though
Version 1.2.2
No longer vibrate when the backlight is on and it goes to locked, because the intention of StylusLock is to use no real extra battery:
* Added that StylusLock will no longer vibrate when the backlight is on and it goes to locked. The visual icon is good enough in that case.
* But if you put the TD to sleep first by using the power button or the backlight is off and thereafter locking the TD, then it will still vibrate for non-visual feedback.
* Also did some measures for preventing rarely occurring lockups.
Hope these improvement are liked, otherwise keep version 1.2.1.
Version 1.2.1
* Found the problem why the icon was disappearing. So now I do not need to redo the locked icon each 55 seconds. No CPU usage again.
* Apply the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really locked
* Remove the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really unlocked
* I had a lockup of the TD today (with version 1.2), so I do not hope this version is buggy
* Added the missing sources (forgot to put under source control)
Version 1.2
* Added StylusLock indicator when locked. Works for TouchFlo3D screen as well as other Today screens.
* Because the StylusLock indicator is now visible if locked, it no longer vibrates when unlocked (saves extra battery)
* Kept StylusLock as simple and small as possible (only 1Kb in memory) and does still consume no CPU (check with Task Manager!!).
* v1.2 is even a bit smaller then v1.1, although the StylusLock indicator has been added.
Version 1.1
When the stylus is put inside it will only vibrate if "stylus Lock mode" gets enabled and/or the phone is getting locked. If there is no vibration, you know the phone is not locked and "stylus Lock mode" is disabled. Added source code.
Version 1.0
First released version
FAQ
Q: Why do you not shutdown the power (go to sleep) when locking is enabled
A: Dependent of the usage, e.g. using GPS navigation or in a call, you do not want to go to sleep mode, because you still want to see the screen or operate. Now the sleep mode is just triggered by Windows Mobile settings, which should be convenient enough. But if you want to go to sleep mode immediately, press the Power Button and insert the Stylus IN. A double vibration will be felt, if the phone is locked.
In version 1.3 onwards it will go to sleep when in styluslockmode and the backlight goes off. Make sure that your GPS software does not trigger the backlight off. I use OziExplorer and IGO 8, and there this works. In TomTom, the backlight goes off, so I do not know if there is a setting to disable that. If you do not want the phone to go to sleep when the backlight goes off, you can overrule the setting suspendOnBacklightOff in version 1.4.
Q: Can you add a lock/unlock indication
A:Added in version 1.2.
Q: Can you add a method for locking by pressing a (TouchPanel) button
A: I am looking into the NavSensor to unlock or lock possibility in addition of Stylus control.
Q: Why do you not make it possible to disable only the TouchPanel
A: In my opinion, only locking the TouchPanel will not avoid e.g. missed calls, because also the hardware keys can be accidently pressed (although a little bit less likely). There are also problems reported that it unlocks, when you do not answer a call. This version (also locking hardware keys) does not have this problem. However, I added the possibility in version 1.4 to overrule this via setting lockTouchPanelOnly.
Q: Why do you not lock when going to/resuming from sleep mode
A: When you are in "stylus lock mode" it will be locked already if the stylus is IN. Otherwise you have decided not to use the "stylus lock" feature. You just can put the TD on a table and do as if StylusLock was not active when "stylus lock mode" is disabled.
Q: Why is this version better than SensorLock
A: The GSENSOR gestures in SensorLock uses CPU by polling (and takes also more battery). Also the way of turning is not so easy always (drop your TD). StylusLock does not have the vibrate bug. Accidently turning may lock/unlock the TD. Stylus control is the simplest way to operate your locking, why need an extra method for it?
Q: Is the Vibrate bug of SensorLock solved in StylusLock
A: Yes, the vibrate bug does not appear in StylusLock.
Q: Can you change the Vibrate into Beeps
A: In version 1.4 you can overrule the default setting. Even you can use both or none.
Q: Why is StylusLock better than other solutions?
A: It consumes no extra battery/CPU and is as simple as possible but still powerful. It can be used in conjunction with other software and does not interfere with e.g. GSENSOR applications.
Q: Can you please add this or that feature?
A: The intention is that the program must be lean and mean and still be easy to operate. So yes, you can ask for features and I will consider them, if it is easy to do (complexity) and does not influence battery usage. In version 1.4 default settings can be overruled. If you need more advanced features or more control, take a look at other applications.
Q: Which other solutions exist
A: This is a list of other solutions

Very Nice >>
Nice one. The techniques for locking and polling are becoming pretty obvious now, and some great ideas are being implemented!
However, when on my bike (yeah we Dutchies ride them continuously ) and a call comes in, I'd have to let go of both hands... Hmmm..
Anyway, congratulations with an application that does NOT eat your battery! Job well done

Ah, just a reason to stop when someone calls
Is also safer.
Man...you did a great job....another dimension of locking your device with the stylus has born.....thanxx for this great app
Thanks for your work.
Thanks for the work. Going to give this one a try.

Sweet! I'm glad SensorLock got you started.
As for trying to fix the vibration bug, what have you done exactly? The vibration notifications look similar, is the vibration based on the SensorLock one?
any youtube about styluslock for me?

There are a couple of measures which can contribute to not having the vibration bug in StylusLock:
- I sleep 5 seconds, before doing some stuff, when started StylusLock first time
- I start always forced unlocked, when just started (so when it is vibrating, it maybe stops then)
- I do not use it in combination with the GSENSOR (maybe that can cause problems)
- Soft Resetting is normally done unlocked (because the Stylus is out ;-)
- I lock both the TouchPanel as the hardware keys (like in SensorLock 0.1)
- I vibrate only when not locked (so just before locking, and just after unlocking)
- I do not lock on PBT_RESUME
- I always unlock when I exit StylusLock
However, I am not sure it will be solved with the above things and which one is responsible for solving the vibrate bug.
Especially, because I did not having encountered this bug, also not with SensorLock.
Hope this gives you some clues/ideas.
But I am not sure my approach solves the vibration bug.
I think it is too early to conclude on that, let people try StylusLock.
Great job! Would you be kind enough to share the code?

Thanks for sharing, there's some interesting points in that list.
Personally I think the vibration bug in SensorLock is caused by bogus results from the G-Sensor, causing bogus gestures to be detected continually. The vibration code itself is SO simple I simply cannot see where a bug might be hiding in it.
I doubt very much that StylusLock would be suffering from the same problem, but as I said, it's an interesting list of points.
hi,
i am currently using answerkeys disabler, does this drain battery?
second question, am i correct in thinking, that with auto-lock enabled the only way to answer a call is to press the hardware answer key?
would this be a better app than answerkeys disabler to stop answering calls in my pocket?
Answerkeys Disabler does not drain power. StylusLock doesn't either. SensorLock a little more, but still nothing compared to S2U2.
I love it !
A few days ago i discoverd SensorLock.
I ran through the vibrating bug and others disadvantage (i lose the transcriber*).
With the version 0.3.0 of SensorLock, i was able to 'play' with it and i was kind of deceive :
The g-sensor-phone-360° thing was a good idea but finally it's not convenient as you said in the faq.
So i tried your application : great !
And it does not consume power at all, cool !
Like the 0.3.0 version of SensorLock, no vibrating bug anymore at start in your program.
Your tutorial is good but don't explain the auto lock mode stuff for beginners, i would have say something like :
There is 2 mode :
1 - stylus in = phone locked
2 - stylus in = phone not locked
In fact the second mode permit not to use the lock functionnality, in order to use your fingers on the touchpanel, rather than the sytlus.
Moreover : nothing happens 'automatically' after some time, so the words 'auto lock mode' is kinda wrong.
Last thing :
when switching to auto lock mode or not, there is no differences
maybe 3 short vibrations when switching to no auto lock mode ?
or just a different icon in the upcoming systray icon ?
Personnaly i don't need a systray icon but why not...
* For those concerned : I didn't reinstall my rom to get it back, i just desinstall SensorLock
Great app. Tkx
looking good, one add on suggestion, after watching the sprint diamond review, i saw that the sprint version turns on the the device when you pull the stylus out. maybe something you might be interested in looking at.

READ ME FIRST
=============================
S2U2 is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device.
THIS VERSION DOES NOT HAVE THE CALLER ID FUNCTION YET!
Prerequisition:
===============
- WM5 or 6 devices
- free RAM: ~ 1M for QVGA; ~ 3M for VGA
Installation:
=============
- If you have Slide2Unlock installed, please uninstall it first & then soft-reset.
- After installation, there are 2 shortcuts created under \Program Files\S2U2:
iLock2.lnk - start/stop ilock2.exe (on the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock2 & S2U2)
S2U2.lnk - manually start S2U2 (be sure iLock2 is running in the background, otherwise the Battery status will not be updated)
- A shortcut for iLock2.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
- Installation on Storage Card is not supported (for the sake of stability).
- There are 2 clock font files for selection - clock.zip (default) & clockH.zip. How to use?
1. stop iLock2
2. delete those files under \GFX\Clock (under the installed folder)
3. copy the extracted files to \GFX\Clock
4. start iLock2 & S2U2
- For hi-res devices, please extract files (follow the above steps) from either vclock.zip or vclockH.zip & copy them to \GFX\Clock under the installed path. Otherwise the clock will be shown as half-sized.
Configuration: (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. Please remember to RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings changed, otherwise it won't work):
=================================================================================
- The Date & Time format can be customized by changing the keys DateFormat & TimeFormat:
Date:
d Day of month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit days.
dd Day of month as digits with leading zero for single-digit days.
ddd Day of week as a three-letter abbreviation.
dddd Day of week as its full name.
M Month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit months.
MM Month as digits with leading zero for single-digit months.
MMM Month as a three-letter abbreviation.
MMMM Month as its full name.
y Year as last two digits, but with no leading zero for years less than 10.
yy Year as last two digits, but with leading zero for years less than 10.
yyyy Year represented by full four or five digits, depending on the calendar used. Thai Buddhist and Korean calendars both have five digit years. The "yyyy" pattern will show five digits for these two calendars, and four digits for all other supported calendars.
yyyyy Identical to "yyyy".
For example, to get the date displays "Wed, Aug 31 94"
set DateFormat to ddd',' MMM dd yy
Time:
h Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours; 12-hour clock.
hh Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours; 12-hour clock.
H Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours; 24-hour clock.
HH Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours; 24-hour clock.
m Minutes with no leading zero for single-digit minutes.
mm Minutes with leading zero for single-digit minutes.
s Seconds with no leading zero for single-digit seconds.
ss Seconds with leading zero for single-digit seconds.
t One character time marker string, such as A or P.
tt Multicharacter time marker string, such as AM or PM.
For example, to get the time displays "11:29:40 PM"
set TimeFormat to hh':'mm':'ss tt
- If you want to "auto start" S2U2 when the device is woke up, set:
Autostart to 1 (0 to disable)
- To turn off the LCD by S2U2, you may specify:
OffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
- When the OffLCD is enabled, you may specify whether the device is suspended or remain active but with LCD turned off:
BlankScreen set to 0 or 1 (0 to suspend the device; 1 to turn off the LCD only)
- For devices with the capability to turn off the backlight, you may set S2U2 to start automatically when the device's backlight is turned off by:
IdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
- Similar to IdleStart, ACIdleStart has the same function when the device is charging:
ACIdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
- Similar to OffLCD, ACOffLCD has the same function when the device is charging:
ACOffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
- Similar to BlankScreen, ACBlankScreen has the same function when the device is charging:
ACBlankScreen set to 0 to suspend the device; or 1 to turn off the LCD only
- If you want to install S2U2 to other folders or the storage card, please update the key:
S2U2Path to "the new full path"
- To turn off the LCD during a phone talk, set the key:
BlankOnTalk to 1 (0 to disable)
- To enable D-Pad input, set the key:
DpadOn to 1 (0 to disable)
- To show the Appointment information shown at Today's screen, set the key:
ShowAppointment to 1 (0 to disable)
- To change the format of Appointment's time, change the key:
AppointmentTimeFormat (use the same syntax as TimeFormat)
- Not to display the total no. of "Active Task", set:
ShowTask to 0 (1 to enable)
- To show the coming system alarm info, set the key:
ShowAlarm to 1 (0 to disable)
Only use the following 2 settings if your device have any abnormal behaviour:
- When NoPowerSuspend is set to 1, the OffLCD & ACOffLCD will be disabled. It'll untouch the Power Management and leave it back to the OS.
- When SafeMode is set to 1, iLock2 will not enter the "Unattended mode" (this is a special mode for the background jobs to run but without turning the LCD on). The device may need to soft-reset for SafeMode to be enabled.
- The default values are added on the first run of iLock2:
ACBlankScreen=0
ACIdleStart=0
ACOffLCD=0
AppointmentTimeFormat=h':'mmt
Autostart=1
BlankOnTalk=0
BlankScreen=0
DateFormat=dddd', 'd MMMM
DpadOn=0
IdleStart=0
NoPowerSuspend=0
OffLCD=0
SafeMode=0
ShowAlarm=1
ShowAppointment=0
ShowTask=1
S2U2Path="\Program Files\S2U2"
TimeFormat=H':'mm
Command Switch of iLock2:
=========================
iLock2.exe accepts the following command switches:
-slide to start/invoke S2U2
-nomsg to not to show any message even it closes itself & S2U2
-refresh to close S2U2 & reload the registry settings
Known limitations & FAQs:
=========================
- How to change wallpaper? Create a jpg file with resolution the same as your device (QVGA is 240 x 320; VGA is 480 x 640); rename it to "wallpaper.jpg"; copy it to the gfx folder (default is \program files\s2u2\gfx\); restart iLock2. And the file "wallpaperL.jpg" is for the Landscape mode.
- How to edit the registry? You need 3rd party software like "Task Manager" & "Total Commander". Try to google them & they are very user friendly apps.
- After changing the registry settings, iLock2/S2U2 do not behave as instructed?? Pls RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings is made.
- If "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at wake up, S2U2 may cause the screen flicker. Pls disable these functions.
- My device's special Keys are not blocked by S2U2?! (e.g. HTC Touch) This is a device specific problem that cannot be resolved.
- Error: UserNotification has too much records?
That means the notification database contains more than 500 records. It'll ruin the Autostart of S2U2. Pls use other s/w to clean it up first.
- NOT Compatible devices: SX66, Xda IIs (Blue Angel)
Trouble shooting:
=================
If you find your device is hang with a blank screen or no response with any key or screen-touch, you may not need to reset it. Please follow these steps if your device has a camera button:
- press the camera button to invoke the built-in camera program
- press the end call button to go back to Today screen
- use Task Manager (a third party freeware; highly recommended) to close the S2U2.EXE
Special Thanks:

Hello A_C. I Love your Program! (Sorry for my very bad english)
I have a Question, it is possible to add a new notification or appointment, i mean the Alarm Clock like SPM Mobile Shell.
I want to view in how many hours the Alarmclock starts and on what Day.
I hope you can unterstand me.
Example:
Next Alarm On Fri 12.10.2007 at 06.00 (20h 30min)
That is very fine when you can do it.
And when I receive a MMS than comes the Icon for E-Mails. Can you make a Extra Icon for MMS?
Example:
1 MMS ; 2 SMS ; 5 E-Mails
Thank you, i donate you Now with 10 € for your very good Program!!!
hi A_C.. nice app.. i've been following and using s2u and s2u2 for months now..
the update is very nice.. especially the quick transition from landscape to portrait and back..
a problem though and an annoyance.. when my device goes to sleepmode/suspend (blankscreen=0 , offlcd=5).. i can't make my screen active again (to show the slide to unlock) by any keypress except the power button.. under settings>buttons>lock, i've already set When device is Off: Do not lock buttons
i'm using a case on my wizard and accessing the power button is very difficult.. that is why i have s2us as a launcher icon on my today screen to lock buttons and turn off the device.. but going back from sleep is very difficult now.. i need to remove my phone from the case first, press the power button, return it to the case, then slide to unlock.. and if i'm not fast enough, 5 seconds lapse, phone goes back to sleep, and i need to press the power button again..
on previous versions (even on S2U), all i need is to press the red button (call end), or any hardware key, to activate screen then unlock by sliding the arrow..
also, my other device.. a blue angel.. has a broken power button.. and once it goes to sleep (same settings: When Device is off: Do not lock).. it won't wake up unless i poke on the reset hole.. it's becomming an annoyance now.. that i'm thinking of going back to s2u2 v0.3 for the meantime..
i know this mode saves power preventing screen activation via ANY accidental keypress except power .. but this setting is already handled by the settings>button>lock applet.. maybe you can just remove that bug/feature on s2u2 or just let s2u2 follow the mode set in the settings.. so those with power button problems won't have a phone-in-comatose every time s2u2 kicks in..
i hope my problem is properly addressed on future updates..
thanks.
Thanxs nic work
Just installed it - it runs very smoothly on my MDA Vario/Qtek9100/Wizard.
Switching to landscape mode works very fast! Appointments are shown correctly, sms-notification works perfect, just like the tasks-icon.
You did a very nice job with version 0.5! It's lightning fast, and the animation stop should save even some more memory usage - thanx!
I hope the weather icons are next on the to-do list for version 0.6! Keep up the very nice work...

Hi A_C
Great work on this new version!
Am excited to see each of the previous features are now being implemented! However, I realise S2U2 v0.5 doesn't support other means of powering off the PPC.
With v0.5, when I off my PPC using the on-screen shortcut and when I switch on my PPC again, S2U2 is not activated. S2U2 seems to be activated if only I off my device using the 'power' button.
Basically, I like to switch off my PPC (i.e. device off, not just the screen) using on-screen shortcut icon, instead of the 'Power' button (try to preserve/lengthen the lifespan of my hard button).
I remember at one point you've remove this feature, and upon my (and some others most probably) request, you have included it back. May I know whether it's possible to include this feature back again?
Or... is this feature (removal) intended in the first place.. which then, make this a 'bug'??
Switching back to v0.3 for the time being.
Answers
Thanks @dodo-dk. The alarm notification is quite interesting. But I would like to fix the bugs first. I'll think about it later.
For the MMS notification, actually there is already an icon made for it. But it's found that different OEM or Service provider had implement this part quite different and do not follow what Microsoft's SNAPI's requirements. So in your case, it seems that part is broken & S2U2 could not display the proper numbers.
@ytsejam_
Pls try the option NoPowerSuspend (set to 1) & let me know does it work. Sorry that I made a mistake in the readme. The NoSuspendMode should be treated as NoPowerSuspend. You need to rename the key NoSuspendMode to NoPowerSuspend.
(just corrected them & re-uploaded)
@whisper
I have reservation to recover the weather icon as it seems to have many problems.
@Sian
Your case should be same as Cobra2, pls read your PM.
i've upx unpacked and disassembled to remove the 's2u2 v0.5 by A_C' message at the start,
as it kinda ruins the iphone effect imo. same reason i didn't put any credits in my slider app.
hope you don't mind.
can upload here if you want to have two versions
(one that supports giving you credit, another for people who don't like the message on there).
or you could have the message on by default, but allow people to set an option in the config to turn it off.
some other bugs (and this is getting really picky..):
1. the arrow's graphics movement on vga devices is still a bit laggy. might need to increase the buffer if it's detected it's a vga device.
2. the slideback movement is also a fair bit faster than the iphone. (only mention this because it effects the functionality of being easily able to grab it when it's sliding back that the iphone has)
there are some people that like it springing back to the start really fast and some that don't.
a config option to set the slideback speed could be an idea.
3. grabbing it when it comes back makes it go another 2x faster when you let it go again.
i've come across this problem in my .net and javascript slider versions.
the reason it goes 2x faster every time is because it's using the old slideback timer which is already moving the pixels back, and then it's trying to do that again at the same time.
the way to overcome it is to turn off and reset your timer for the 'slideback' every time you get the mousedown event.
then when it slides back on the mouseup event it will do it the same way as it did the first time.
should be the same to fix in c++. i assume you must use a timer for the slideback etc. as there aren't many different ways you can code it.
hi,
the new version is out, look here.
Original PoinUI files attached on this post.
Code:
New Features
* Smartphone support
* PDA's (without phone) support
* Voice mail count is now displayed under the missed call count for those with phone networks supporting this feature.
* Lock screen will fade back to Home screen to allow you to see all of the status information even when device is locked.
* Translation support - see the forums for more information.
* New customise option: can choose digital or analog clock.
* New customise option: Lock Device, Show Home, or Show Home Screen when device is switched on.
* New customise option: automatically switch bluetooth on only during phone calls and switch off at the end of the call (not supported on all devices). The idea behind this is that if you only use bluetooth during phonecalls for headset etc and don't need it on all the time, then this option could be useful to you. It will turn bluetooth on as soon as an incoming/outgoing call is detected, and turn it off when you hang up.
* New customise option: can choose to use Home's comm manager or system default if supported.
* New customise option: can choose to not show screenshots in Currently Running screen (if your device has issues showing the screenshots).
* New customise option: can choose to Show Home, Show Call Summary Screen, or Do Nothing when call is finished.
* New customise option: can choose to use Home's task bar or standard system task bar.
* The list of applications now merges the list of favorites so you can view the entire list together
* Call summary screen added to display who was called and how long call lasted for at end of call.
* Lock screen can now be used on smartphones - you press up then down on dpad.
* You now have an additional option to "Lock Device" on power on.
* Battery saving - now only uses marginally more battery power than normal - smartphone users should notice a big difference (of course this is dependent on how excessive you are with using it).
Changes
* Taskbar in all other standard apps is no longer changed except for the Start button area which still takes you to Home's Task Menu.
* Windows Media icon has been replaced with Favorites.
* Appointments summary shows only the next 7 days of appointments.
* Tasks summary no longer shows completed tasks.
* Force close now returns focus back to Home.
* Ringer volume and profile button on sound screen for non-phone devices are no longer displayed.
* Appointments now display all day events in bold and should not display events that have been completed for the day.
* "Today" and "Tomorrow" in appointments also now show the date after them
* Smartphones no longer have a Windows Mobile section as it's not relevant.
* Shortcut no longer includes "." at start which was causing issues for button mapping.
* Soft key on Today screen no longer overridden. (NOTE: you will need to reset it back to what it was manually if you have a previous version installed).
Bug Fixes
* Many bugs fixed!
* Memory leak issues fixed.
* Lock screen locks keys as well, and when orientation changed while locked the keys remain locked.
* Recurring appointments now displayed.
* Hardware buttons now working.
* Volume controls now working.
* Volume controls support stereo.
* Control panel applets have had a number of bug fixes. They still are only categorised correctly for English ROMS unless you use a translated terms file as described in the forums.
* Battery shouldn't show 255% any more but some devices for some reason do not report the correct % when asked and can take a while before they report it successfully.
* The speed that tasks load has been improved and should no longer cause freezes.
* Currently Running screen causing device to freeze has been fixed on most devices, but still is problematic with some devices in which case you need to switch off the screenshots option.
* Closing home sometimes caused it to freeze needing soft reset issue has been fixed.
Known Issues
* See the forums for more details.

Add links to the \Windows\Start folder.
Ok am I missing something or is there still no way to reverse the slide up and down and side to side? Its backwards from every other finger sliding program I have used and it just makes it feel wrong.
Man I can't believe they still haven't made this an option.
Can I use this one for VGA? because I ever tried using the previous version but can not display well
just edit your Menu under Settings
i have folders in the \windows\start menu folders such as '\Office 2007' and '\Accessories'
how can i access them?? i hope favorites can also support folders in the future version.. i kind of like the way PoinUI is right now (optional top bar, optional homescreen).. because i only want PointUI to be an Application Launcher of some sort and not a complete overall UI..
also, can the scroll function be reversed? i mean an option to do so? because i use FtouchFLO and TouchFLO for general OS and application navigation and it's scroll/finger swipe function is when you swipe up, list scrolls down.. and a swipe down does the opposite direction (list goes up)
it is a bit disorienting to have a different/reversed swipe/finger scroll direction in PointUI other that what the whole OS has..
besides those requests.. i'm enjoying the launcher 100%
dont know what happened....phone froze during a phone call...uninstalling
screnshoot please
This is pretty good. Have decided to give it a go now that you aren't stuck with that hideous blue!
Just one question - how do you go straight into Contacts to make a phone call. I have been using pocketcm which is great, but now have to go looking for it as an application, instead of just hitting the soft button.
Or am I missing something?
still no way of changing which email account to use from the main page i see (defaults to outlook/exchange) even though i've not got that set up at the moment and have done with the windows live mail
that and the backward touch scrolling is making it hard to use this program which does look really good.
it just needs its own email/sms reader and contacts just like its got with the recent calls list.

TouchLockPro tries to identify your phone type now automatically and disables not available sensors
I discovered that the HTCSmartTouchDll window is also available on Diamond and Touch Pro, so now I only subclass for ZoomBar when PhoneType is Diamond2 or Touch Pro2
Added PhoneType configuration possibility in Index Settings screen, best is to first select your PhoneType before changing other settings and soft reset after changing your phone type and settings.
Added BootDelay registry key, if you want to change it, you need to do that via the registry, but be sure to know what you are doing. Default it is 60000 (60 seconds)
Version 2.9 (17-12-2009) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, *NEW* ZoomBar unlock
Thanks to Cobaltikus for providing the solution!
Added ZoomBar unlock for Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2
Slide the Zoombar left or right to unlock
Triple touch the Zoombar to unlock, if you want different behaviour, change CapacitiveTouchesSequence (CapacitiveTouchesSequence = 222)
Version 2.8.2 (09-11-2009) for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones
Solved InCallTweak related bug
Create new log file, when no debug logging, instead of appending
Solved problem of screen off after call ended (InCallTweak related)
Lock already at power off when AutoLockOnPowerOn = 1 and HTCLOCKAPI = 0 is used
Reintroduce and fixed Screen Off to Screen On, which was disabled in 2.8.1
Delayed Power On to Screen On when possible, so when the phone awakes without screen on (e.g. checking mail), no extra CPU is used by TouchLockPro which saves a bit power
Made it possible to use HTCLOCKAPI = 1 in general and only at incoming call lock keys only with the general keyboard hook
Improved HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive
Made Bluetooth status detection event driven instead of polling on need and added debug logging for state changes
Version 2.8.1 (28-10-2009) now with improved GSENSOR and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones
Made HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive = 0 the default, so only the people who want to answer with the bluetooth answer button can enable it.
Disabled feature, till further investigated: change from screen off to screen on as power on and lock appropriate
Version 2.8 (27-10-2009) now with improved GSENSOR and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones
Also see change from screen off to screen on as power on and lock appropriate, so when not going into a deep sleep and screen goes on, it will lock appropriate.
InCallTweak: also screenoff when reverselandscape is detected
Added setting HTCLockAPIWhenBluetoothActive to use HTCLockAPI when bluetooth is active, so you can use the general keyboard hook locking method when no bluetooth is active.
Improved GSENSOR
Compute orientation instead of using the HTC orientation field for better accuracy
Poll GSENSOR now once per 100 ms for greater sensitivity
At boot also open GSENSOR (only after first power off GSENSOR was activated)
Closing the GSENSOR when going to deep sleep (and setting the orientation to unknown)
Start/stop the GSENSOR service
added GSENSOR debug logging to GSENSOR Settings screen when debug is on
Version 2.7.6 (06-10-2009) now with InCallTweak and for all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones
Added !IDLE command
SUSPEND problem: request immediately deep sleep (POWER_STATE_SUSPEND) instead of screen off (POWER_STATE_IDLE)
Added InCallTweak option instead of ScreenOffWhenConnected: GSENSOR portrait: screen off, otherwise screen on
Redo screen off with above option, when backlight goes on again
!BACKLIGHTOFF and !SCREENOFF do no longer by default !KEEPALIVEON, to avoid unintended battery drainage
Changed NavSensor settings to execute !KEEPALIVEON with !BACKLIGHTOFF and !SCREENON (old behaviour, to correct above change)

Great job!
My only (stupid?) concern is that by using your (otherwise nice) "BattClock" we miss custom battery indicators.
You will say that, then we should disable this. But then (a) you still get it when device is locked (why we HAVE to see the valid taps after we get used to them?) and (b) you have one less method to lock the device from the very few: just two - i.e. one left.
This comes to the second thing. Why not also lock it with other method?
I can think of: (a) Touching the capacitive area one right, one middle (action button), one left.... in fact you could even UNLOCK by doing the opposite. (b) Using some program shortcut (for some of us is enough to lock the device by running a shortcut in TF3D or some today manager like SPB Pocket Plus or even changing a default action in TF3D via SSMaPa)...
The best way would be to still use the area of the battclock but WITHOUT changing whatever the user has there (is there such a thing like a transparent window?)...
Another way would be to auto-lock after some timeout (which in fact is also the most common method among smartphones too) or configurable if the power button is pressed.
For example in my case pressing the power button to sleep the device exactly means I don't want the screen functioning (so lock it if something else turns it on - like a call), while if I leave the device to sleep by timeout, I probably mean I have it on my desk and don't care or need to lock it.
Sorry for the brainstorm, I hope it gives you some ideas.
Seems to be working fine so far....but I have one problem;
I'm using wisbar so your battery indicator does not show on the screen when the phone is unlocked. This means I have to lock the phone by using the stylus. The indicator does however appear when the phone is locked.
Is there no way to correct this, or make a shortcut for locking instead?
can i set this app to only lock the screen on incomming phone call and unlock it by tapping 3 times on the capacitive area?
something like the answerkeys disabler did before uninstalling...

You can position the BattClock over the Windows Start logo, at the left side of the Start bar. You can still go to Programs, just by pressing the Start text then.

Yes, the BattClock must be visible AND have focus to get the capacitive touches. So moving to another position is the only option, if you want to use the triple touches approach to unlock.

I can only get keyboard/sensitive touches when my battClock has focus. And when there is another program in front, I cannot get them.
I am working on an Action screen addin for TouchLockPro. It will be activated by pressing the BattClock OR you can start the program by a shortcut, because it is a separate program. But be patient, working on that......I even want it possible by other programs to lock the device, just by writing some registry key.

To my knowledge, there is no real transparant window possible, you can just not draw the background. But the underlying windows will not update. Or does someone know this is possible?

flickering clock white/black
Hey ZuinigeRijder!!
thanxx again for your new app TouchLockPro 1.0!!
so far I have it on my diamond it's working ok, but I noticed one thing...when my screen is on standby f.e. see my clock etc...I saw that the clock/batt indicator is contantly flickering white/black....just like it's locked...unlocked....locked...unlocked...
Do you know what I mean or do I have to be more specific??
Maybe you did it on purpose....
Just wanted to report it to you...neways... thanxx man!!

I do not know wisbar, but apparently this is a FullScreen app, so the BattClock will not be visible.
As written as answer in my previous post:
I can only get keyboard/sensitive touches when my battClock has focus. And when there is another program in front, I cannot get them. This cause me also some serious thinking, how to solve this. I found a method, as described here:

That is one of the magic tricks I needed to do, to get the focus to the BattClock, for getting the capacitive touches. I will only get those events, when a Form is in the foreground. And that is normally another application
When e.g. an incoming call is coming in, it will get the focus, because that is the foreground application. Or if you have a Full Screen application, the BattClock will even not be visible. But I discovered, when I make a Child Window at the start-bar as WS_POPUP, it will get focus, when created.
But damned, it will not keep focus, if another application regains focus
So how to solve this problem
The only solution, I could think of, was regularly recreate the WS_POPUP child window, and in between I switch back to another BattClock. At the same time, this 'flashing' indicates the system is accepting capacitive touches. So 4 seconds we have the WS_POPUP BattClock and 1 second the 'normal' BattClock. So actually I switch between 2 clocks.

Unfortunately not (yet).
I did not yet included specific code for detecting incoming calls, I just made a generic solution. But it might be something for the future.......
I think more people would like a general solution to distinguish when they press themselves the power button to awake the phone and when this is done by an application. For the latter, they would like it locked, on their initiative, they would like it automatically unlocked.
But still, in your pocket you can also accidently press the Power button, although less likely. But of sure you never want missed calls!
So I will think about it......

Right! Well....I also see that actually the device itself stays locked, so I'm not so worried.....
on the other hand...I can imagine you would like to solve tis problem just like it was on StylusLock v1.6, because that one didn't had that issue...
To be honest...I really would like to help you, but I don't know how...I don't have any programming experience, so i'm sorry man
n e way...if I can help you with something else...please let me know!
Cheers
Jeroen
ok something else then
since this small window is the trick to make it work, I wonder (sorry I could probably find my self, but haven't installed yet) if we could just move the whole rectangle to... the BOTTOM bar (!), just left of the keyboard icon!
also change the battclock to a small lock (locked and unlocked) now THAT would make great sense AND not mess with our customisations
this looks nice, stylus lock 1.6 was impressive, i cant wait to try this!!
flashing a new rom tonight, ill be sure to install this first!!
thanks
Thanks for this great app!
One thing: When phone goes to suspend, approximately in the next 20 seconds i cant turn the screen on by pressing the power button. Only stylus-out turns the screen on. After 20 seconds everything runs fine.
Furthermore an option to also lock the phone when the screen switches off by pressing the power button would be very nice.

Hi guys, this is my first time to post here
keyx has found a registry tweak that can fix the backlight off issue!
Click here to #94 for more details
This fix has been integrated to Backlight Controller since v0.9.5.3
[ Description rewrited on 11-Apr-2009 ]
The brightness settings in WM6 is so difficult to use with fingers. Also there is a known bug of 612c that the LCD backlight cannot be turned off by most of the software like WMP...
But Backlight Controller can solve all this problem
The interface is simple (Simple is beautiful), a very big slider that is so easy to use with your fingers.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Backlight Controller will detect AC status automatically and modify the corresponding backlight settings, that's why there is only 1 slider for both AC and Battery mode, when the AC power plugged in / removed, the icon at the top left corner will change:
Landscape mode is supported too:
The most important feature - Toggle Screen
Since the LCD backlight of 612c cannot be turned off by standard API, the toggle screen feature of music players like WMP, Core Player has no use on 612c. Just run Backlight Controller and select Toggle Screen, 612c LCD backlight will be turned off completely and save your battery power!
Apart from selecting Toggle Screen from softkey menu, press "ENTER" on 612c keypad or use command line switch (/togglescreen) can also activate Toggle Screen.
***When Toggle Screen is activated, the screen and keypad will be Locked! you can only unlock 612c by pressing "ENTER". If you forgot how to unlock, just power Off and On (press power button 2 times), the backlight will on and screen will display "Press ENTER to unlock"
Command Line Switch Summary:

Command Line Switch Example:
WM6_612C_Backlight.exe /togglemax
- Set brightness to maximum, call this again will roll back to original brightness level
WM6_612C_Backlight.exe /setlevel 3
- Set brightness level to 3
WM6_612C_Backlight.exe /togglescreen
- Turn off LCD and backlight, and device will be locked. To exit, press "ENTER" on your keypad. (Also, turning your device off and on, you will see the unlock screen)
I hope you all will enjoy this.

yes the background I can make it to use bmp file so that you can use any image for it.

Have you ever used the Toggle Screen feature in Windows Media Player? Normally, it will turn off the LCD and backlight and continue to play the music, but it doesn't work on our iPAQ 612c. After toggle screen (Not my app, is WMP), the LCD becomes blank, but the backlight is still on! (You can try this in a dark place, look at the edge of the LCD screen and you will find that the backlight is on).
But yea, you may say that we can press Power button and the Music is still playing~ But this is not supposed to be a Power button feature of a Normal PPC... and also, this trick only works on WMP, but not others like CorePlayer.
Let me show you an example and you will see the difference:
Connect 612c with your PC thru ActiveSync, press Power button, the connection will lost.
But, if you use Toggle Screen of my app, the connection is still there, just the LCD and backlight turns off , device is still running.
Hope this information is useful for you~

Hi All,
Updates for G-Trigger (v0.9.0+ beta):
First is, you can shake your device to change wallpaper of Today/Manila/S2U2, second is, save a screenshot and third to show/hide SIP (As suggested by tevike)
I have lowered the threshold value up to 5 for front-back action as some people find it very hard to shake. Although lower value less than 10 does not work on my device. If you find hard to shake try setting threshold value for front-back lesser than 10 and uncheck option "Discard accidental shakes".
I have added priorities to profiles in this version. It is useful in combination with Auto-Trigger profile option. If you have one or more profile which satisfies auto-trigger option for current device state, then higher priority profile will be selected to trigger an action.
This version 0.9.0 beta seems to be pretty stable. Hope it works fine for all.
For updated features from v0.8.0 onwards look here.
G-Trigger website: http://g-trigger.kneps.com
Thanks,
Krupal Desai

Action Media Control "Stop" does not work for all players
Media controls for "Pocket Player" works till it's window is active or minimized (not working when in notification mode)
Further development:
Display configured actions as OSD when device is lightly shaked
Add more actions like "Navigate Manila Page", "Open Quick Launch" etc on shaking
It is developed for HTC Touch Diamond. I have not tested it on any other device. Let me know if you try it on other device.

Quick guide to Auto Trigger:
If you want G-Trigger to behave differently for different active program, it's now possible. For example, you want left to right for playing next track, right to left for playing previous track, only if Windows Media Player is active then create a new profile, assign left to right for next track, right to left for previous track and check "Auto Trigger" with program name as wmplayer.exe. Bingo!!! Its done.
How G-Trigger works:
G-TriggerService.exe application runs all the time and polls the G-Sensor to get current position of the device. It polls G-Sensor for about 10 times a second and observes the positions of the device. It keeps track of last 5 positions and scans all the 5 positions and checks if any shake is detected. If shake is detected it looks for action and triggers an action.
FAQ:
1. Does polling of G-Sensor all the time damages it?
-It does not seems to damage sensor by polling but I don’t take any responsibility in a case. Use it at your own risk!
2. Does G-TriggerService impacts my device’s battery power?
-Yes! It runs all the time as soon as your device is awake and it keeps on polling the G-Sensor, so it will consume some battery power. Although, I am running it all the time since I developed, I don’t see any legible battery consumption. Though you need to benchmark if you want to see exact battery consumption.
3.How much memory does G-TriggerService eats?
-G-TriggerService takes around 500KB when OSD is off and takes around 1MB if OSD is on.

Not got the time to test this right now, but can this app answer/end calls with a shake? or task switch? or end a running program? if not, then is it a possibility for future releases?
In pipeline

Currently not supported. But task switch & close foreground app are in pipeline.. though.. it will take some time . Thanks for idea about answer/end calls.
Working on HTC Touch HD!!
This will be such a great app. Does it auto start with windows??

Great !! i will test now and report any bugs
Ok just tested a few programs, found windows media player doesnt respond to any shakes, no message appears to come up so it registers the shake and program but fails to open winsows media player, anybody else have the same issue??
EDIT: got media player working! dont select the windows media player option from program files, instead goto the windows folder and select 'wmplayer.exe'
Sorry about triple posting lol
I have also found in order to register a 'left to right' shake you have to start by shaking your phone to the right. Start by shaking your phone to the left for a 'Right to left' shake. If i shake my phone 'right to left' once, it opens the 'left to right' application. Hope this is clear.
'My documents' doesnt work with 'left to right' shake from what i have tried
Great app any way im sure once bugs are fixed this will be great
Did anyone try this during car use? I mean, there is some g-force involved, in driving... steer, brake, accelerate, bumps...

I havnt tried it during driving but im sure braking, steering and accelerating will have no effect although a big and i mean a big bump or bang may just shake the device abit
You need a quick, hard shake for it to register as a shake

G-forces aren't significant unless you're at Canada's Wonderland on the Bumper Cars ride.....
Nifty Program, Great Job! ...
Really a great program! Works like a charm.
One proposal: An exception list for some programs are running would be good (some needs the shake like Shake'n'save) - but especially S2U2 is a problem - because when device is locked with S2U2 - the shake still works - and opens the programs - with some indifferences with S2U2.
Keep up this real good work

It requires hard shake to detect an event so I don't think it gets an effect of bumps . Although you can increase threshold to make it even harder.

Yes I have observed this issue. I am working on exceptions thing, so it could be overridden when S2U2 is in foreground. Will have to wait for some time..
