Hi guys!
I'm looking for a software for password locking the Touch HD after a defined amount of time (in ex. 5min) of inactivity. The password lock included in windows mobile is too old and ugly for a stylish device like the HD.
Something that looks cool like S2U2 but that also supports password lock. Btw i like the gesture lock that has Android, where yuo have a grid with 25 points and you have to follow a predefined path with your finger in order to unlock the device.
Any idea?
Hello all,
have removed SPB shell yesterday (no support for real vga) and want to get my device running again in the former way. However, it seems to me, that I've lost the possibility to change the software buttons
Who can help ? Is there something to be done in the registry ?
My device is a 7510 with Michylight 6.1 - therefore also 7500/7501 users are welcoome to answer.

You no longer have Settings>Personal>Buttons?
You can try using AE Button Plus: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
I still have settings\personal\buttons but there is only an opportunity to assign programs to the hardware buttons. I want to do it for the software-buttons displayed onscreen.

The SoftKeyAppletEx application is a control panel applet that allows to change the applications linked to the softkeys that you find on the today screen.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/S...trol-Panel-Applet-SoftKeyAppletEx-55572.shtml
RemapSoftkeys allows you to modify the softkey allocation on the Today screen. It only modifies registry entries, so you don't need to keep it installed after you set your new values !

KeySwop is a simple tool for you to remap the softkeys on the today screen.

hope this helps looks like the 1st one would be the best one though
Thanks so far - will test the applications.
Have to reinstall the ROM on my device, seems that ther got more corrupted during SPB de-install. Today my radio didn't work any more...
Let's see whether I get my device running again.

Dear all,
I installed Dusk 6.5 Lockscreen 6.5 but after a while I decided to go back to standard WM6.5 lock screen (the "new" one, with the slider). After uninstalling the Dusk Lockscreen, I cannot get the original Windows lock back. No matter what I set in Settings/Lock/Display, I have the "old & ugly" lock with left soft key.
Can anyone send me or post here the original HTC_LS_LockScene480x800.cpr, HTC_LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr, LS_LockScene480x800.cpr, LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr and all related registry entries for the Windows Lock application?
Many thanks,
Radu
yeah that would be great. i need this, too
Ditto - can't get the original slide to unlock method back either. =(
That's because what you are looking at IS the HTC lockscreen and yes it's mega ugly.
The one you want is the WM/WP lock screen and it is a pain to restore. But here is how you do it:
1. Delete the entire Key: HKLM\Security\Shell\Lock
2. In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\* (SMS,EMAIL, etc)
2.1 Delete each entry for "application command line"
3. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\Notificat ions\SliderFocus, SliderNotif and SliderNotifFocus edited the value to remove 'htc_'
4. Install TPC default_lockscreeen_enable.cab
5. Soft reset
This will get you back to the default Windows screen with the roundish keys and the three radio buttons (unlock, contacts, email).
Hopefully that is what you were looking for.
Credit for this goes to TwoPumpChump (TPC) he found it for me.

thanks a lot
Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

Err, not true. The thread you want is in the Development & Hacking Forum. To download you need to access AC's website (the author) which is one of the download links within the relevant thread.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards
Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.
As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.
Tried but i cant disable the htc hd2 lockscreen.
In omnia i had disabled the wm lockscreen and had the old lock.
Now i disabled the wm lockscreen and have the htc lock.
How can i disable this also?
Thanks in advance!!

how about not cooking the htc lockscreen in your rom? the reg that sets htc lockscreen as a custom lockscreen is here....try deleting the part in red and soft reset, maybe that will work im not sure.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\Lock]
[COLOR="Red"]"CustomLockScreensMask"=dword:00000013
"CustomLockScreensPath"="\\Windows\\LockScreen"[/COLOR]

I did not find these registry settings.
I tried to remove the htc lockscreen by removing the two lockscreen application packages in ext but lockscreen was still there.
Thanks for your reply!!
if you tried removing the htc lockscreen ext pkgs, the one that is still there is the ms 6.5 lockscreen if you want to get rid of it try deleting the cprs out of the ls pkgs in sys and see what happens.
solved
I went to HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/lockscreen
and changed Enable key from 1 to 0.
Now I have old lock style that i want.
Thanks
Is there any way to totally get rid of lock screen?
After having tried the register control settings for lock screen disabling, and PocketShield type lock screen control apps, I am still unable to totally eliminate the HTC HD2 lock screen from coming on when powering up.
Is it possible to totally dump the lock screen? When I power up (or my scheduled app powers up) I do not want anylock screens getting in the way. Does one have to "cook" up special ROMS to get rid of the HTC or Microsoft locking function?
Thanks much.

With the registry edit of the above message you got no lock screen but just the ability to lock the phone.
Pretty good progress!
Thank you for the reply. Maybe I should have started new thread as my need might slightly different.
I am still looking for the total elimination of the lock screen(s) period. But in the mean time took another look at PocketShield. It has a nice configuration feature where one can select specific applications that when launched (in my case by the device OS scheduler) fire up without a lock screen. This is very close to what I need and looks like it will suffice. Thank you PocketShield!

Did you find a way to totaly disable the lockscreen?

Hi,
I also made this, but now not only the appearing "Unlock" Button in the display unlocks the phone -every Hardware-Button (except the "hung-up") unlocks it. Is it possible to deactivate them, too?
kind regards
