I was wondering if anyone can help..........
I have been looking for a decent screen lock for sometime, something a bit like the iphone, where you have to slide your finger across the screen to unlock it.
i have searched for this, and it has come to no avail. So i wanted to be pointed in the right direction.
thanks

As the subjects states, is there a registry edit that will move the scroll bar from the right hand side of the screen to the left? Being left handed, it is quite a pain to cover the screen with my hand when scrolling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Bump - Anyone? Any ideas?
This is a possible deal breaker for me.
I think I just saw this feature in 8125. You could change the layout so that the scroll bar is on the left side and not right.
Check Display...
I've got two ideas - not exactly what you want, but hopefully better. One should work. One should be very very cool. But time frame is some way off - I'm working on one or two urgent things first. I apologise
But I'll be working on this once I clear my decks a little.

Thanks for your assistance. The 8125 does have a "Left Hand" mode, but only for Landscape. Since I use my 8125 90% of the time in portrait, it makes it very difficult for web browsing and scrolling email.
Thanks everyone for your help. I look forward to any ideas that you come up with (anything will be better)
General question: do you guys use your scrollbar with a stylus or thumb?
V
Thumb. Mostly because my stylus falls out if i put one in, so I just dont even bring one with me anymore.
Stylus
I ask because at some point I'm considering a third party solution to the problem, and I need to think about how big to make it graphically.
Evidently both thumb and stylus need to be considered.
V
Yeah, I gotta imagine there are alot of other Lefty's out there like myself that are running into the same issue. A 3rd party application sounds like it would be very useful.
hey everyone,
i saw this and did some searching but wasnt able to come up with much, i was just wondering if anyone had seen, heard or has this interesting software anyway heres the link to see it in action

Fake. This has already been brought up.
It slide 2 lock with a skin and a little modification.
Look at his left thumb. when his right thumb presses down.
Also you cant use finger print reading software on you ppc.
The screen is not capable of reading fingers.
If you put you finger on you T.V all you would get is a smudge. Same thing on ppc.
if anyone knows how to edit the image of the unlock portion of batterystatus. Than the fingerprint would be a piece of cake to put in
Hello all,
I like having my phone locked on the Windows Classic lock screen, as it means I can see the Manila homescreen when the screen is locked (unlike the slide to unlock of the Windows Default screen).
However, when I receive and incoming call on the Windows Classic lock screen, I am first asked to unlock the device, before I can answer the call with the Manila answer slider.
This isn't the case with the default lock screen.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this? Or some fix?
Or do I just need to get used to the Windows Default slide to unlock screen?
Thanks ^^
Anyone got any ideas if there anything we can do about this?
80 page views and no one has any ideas.
Hey again guys,
Sorry to bump this, but I was wondering if anyone knew/knows of a way around this. Basically, what happens, is this:
When the phone uses the Windows Classic lock screen (ie what it used to have on WinMo 6.1, not slide to unlock) when someone phones me, the phone brings up the unlock button to press, before I can use the slider to answer the call.
As far as I remember, it only did this on my X1 when I switched to itjes Leo 10 version, which had the Manila version our phones had.
It's a bit annoying, as I like to have my phone locked on the Manila home screen, but having to unlock the phone before answering a call is very annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea of a fix, or a work around to stop it bringing up the unlock button?
Hum and what if you just press the real physical answer button ?

I could do that yes. But the screen stays locked with the unlock button on the screen. So it still doesn't really fix anything other than being able to answer the phone.
I was wondering why it does this (always used to bring up the slider on Manila 2.1 on my X1) just wondering why it doesn't with WinMo 6.5 and HTC Sense on.
Anyone managed to get this to work yet?
Can't get the screen to auto-unlock when someone phones =(
Still having to use the slide-to-unlock slider. Oh well.
I like the windows slide to unlock feature.
But I hate the location of it? What's the point of putting it right at the top of the screen
If you've got the phone in your right hand it's almost impossible to slide it around (not that I'm complaining about the screen being too big )

I have the slider on the bottom of the screen. I installed 3 cabs for the lockscreen. One of these put the slider on the bottom of the screen. The 3 cabs I used are Dusk_6.5_Lockscreen_v3.0.CAB, HeartofWolf Lockscreen fix v4 transparent.cab and tommy34_fix_2_not_disappear_(W(Q))(Q)VGA.cab. Found them on htcpedia (heartofwolf you can find here http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363)

OK, don't bother. I tried it and it looks good. Seems to do exactly what I want.
hmm, maybe can skip s2u2 then, since having not so big hand sliding all the way up with one hand was kinda hard
thanks
Why not use your right hand thumb to unlock it?
I can do it with no problem when I'm holding the HD2 in my right hand.
I searched, perhaps not hard enough, but - if I'm in an application such as Opera and I'm holding the phone sideways, and I hit the Home button, I get a the home screen is clearly sideways BUT it's solid black and doesn't respond except for "Phone" "Menu" and the taskbar at the top... If I lock the phone while in landscape mode, the Lock screen is sideways but the slider sometimes doesn't respond and the background is tiled.
Is there a registry setting or cab that will allow the Home and Lock screens to auto rotate (and function normally)? In fact if I could somehow just use the phone entirely in landscape mode that would be perfect I've found older threads that say it's not possible with sense 2.5. Guess I'm just looking for clarification.
I would like to know how to do this also. I have been looking for hours and I cant find anything on it. let me know please if you find anything, and I will do the same for you.
I tried bsb tweaks and it rotates the home screen, but the background doesn't display properly and I can't click anything until I rotate it back the right way.
I could have sworn I saw someone mention on here or another site how to do this but I can't remember who or where. oh well.
thanks,
michael
Found it
I found what we were looking for. I was searching the wrong forum.
The posts title is: Manila 2.5.1922: BG4All LANDSCAPE
The post is in the HTC Leo Apps and Themes sub-forum.
Would post a link, but it won't let me.
It's a manilla modification, and I think it may require certain ROMs. I have not read through the whole thing yet just wanted to post this to you because I said I would.
I have been searching for hours in the wrong forum. Oh well at least I found it.
Later,
Michael
