Easy & Effective lock ? - XPERIA X1 General

Hey guyz,
I've been searching on this forum and others on the net and i can't find a useful, stupid simple lock.
Anything simple like lock when sleeping and unlock when waking without any extra options like S2U2 will do.
How come it isn't already in X1... shame.
Any idea ?
Thanks...

USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION !
There are multiple threads regarding this on XDA.....
My fav is :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451

im trying to write my own locker. but it is very hard to learn c++ : )

personally i used slideaction and s2u2 combination.. but if you dont like s2u2 just use slideaction, set the x1 to lock and off when it slider is closed, then unlock it when it is open. s2u2 also can unlock when u change orientation, so i just let s2u2 handles that while slideaction handles the only the switch off screen part..

Well I used it... This thread is more like a request.
We need that Lock. I find S2U2 weird and too powerful for what I (we ?) need.

Thanks !! TL seems great. I'll give it a try.

Well finally tried them all and uninstalled them.
Some are not compatible with alarms clocks and I was worried it crashes my alarm and make me go late to work and others were turning off my phone too soon (S2U2 shuts down my screen after 3 secs... wtf ?).
So I'm back to square one !

Sometimes the home-tab shows appointment from past (the day before) .
If I edit an appointment in the calender, the appointment on the home tab refresh and everything is correct .
Im using original HTC-Rom 1.93 GER with some own graphics-manila-files created with Manila editor.
Any idea?

Try TodayAgenda V1.1.0 - at http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1475.
It is a great today plugin which shows appointments, tasks - Very customizeable and I have mine showing appointments up to a week in advance. It work's very well on my HTC Touch Elf WM 6.0. I added the RL Calendar to the same page so that I have a calender above it and appointments showing beneath. All as one page in ultimateLaunch.
I see a lot of smarties here trying to be all ^%$%.
What he is asking for, as well as I need, is to be able to see more upcoming appointments while the TF3D is ON .... got it. Please read before you guys get all smart.
The apps you suggested do not work work, well they do, but do not show up with TF3D ON.
Perhaps there is some registry tweak that can allow to see like today+next 7 days appointments.

Hey buddy. There is no need to get rude. Everyone here is just trying to be helpful, geez. What is your problem.
By the way, the original question was not asking specifically for something that would work while TF3D is on specifically and since I do not have a Diamond, I would have no way of knowing what would work for you or not. I was only pointing to a possible sollution as I am sure everyone else was. Notice in my post I actually metioned working on HTC TOUCH ELF WM 6.0.
Anyway, Good Luck finding what you need.

Anybody knows the answer? Maybe only HTC staff knows. Second Today works but it is just a workaround by adding a today screen so as to avoid the TF3D screen. Like the 2USU thing (a workaround for locking the screen with incoming calls), it's not a clean solution. I don't know what other fellow diamondiers feel, but I want a clear cut solution direct from TF3D, not to switch to another screen/program/interface to get around (and I want to see everything from the TF3D screen even when it's locked and backlight is off and I don't need to unlock the screen and then press another button to see it). But yes, this has been a F-Q but still no A (as in FAQ) yet. It seems to be a real simple issue that most of us will come across and intuitively think it's easy to solve (by a registry tweak or so) but yet no solution comes up yet. It's a bit frustrating....

You seen the movie Tropic Thunder? You know Tom Cruises' part in that, when he talks to the Flaming Dragon guys for the first time through the phone? Well, that's what I'd love to do to you now.
Yes, maybe there is a tweek (sic) that can do that with "TF3D ON" (did you know that the word 'on' is officially written uncapitalised?), and yes, Second Today is a workaround (which by the way, works with TF3D "ON"); however, since topics requesting this functionality for TF3D started back in 1931 you would think that if such a tweek (sic) existed, somebody smarter than you would've found it by now. And seeing this forum now has 869015 members, that makes 869014 members smarter than you - and none of them has ever found this elusive 'tweek' since 1931.
So, yeah, maybe there is. Go find it!

It seems to be spanish and the idea is to use SecondToday from http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm.
How about making an app that changes the today screen when you rotate the device?
So when it's in portrait you have TF3d and when it's in landscape you can have Calendar+ or whatever other plugins you want?

Bad English, but I hope you understand.
I need a keylock to my phone.
So I can lock/unlock it. ( Like Iphone)

The phone has one as standard.
If you want one like the iPhone, search for S2U2.

I guess you don't bother searching or reading, do you? There's a link on the developer's page saying "Read me first". If you click that then you'll find full instructions.
If you do not want to use 3rd party software, I suggest you use the built-in one.
Just hold the most right button a few seconds... (or read also the manual of the phone)
I also use this method, it is fine and I can preserve more power.
Before that, I also use S2U2, and I remove it after 1 day trail.
When I put the machine aside, HD will lock after 30s, then the screen will goes off in another 30s, the beautiful S2U2 screen saver will only survive for no more than 1 minutes.
When I pull the stylus out, it will automatically unlock, so I got no point to use S2U2......and most important, after using it, the battery goes very fast.
I have a full charge before sleep (100%), when I wake up in the next day, only 89% battery left......

I have also used S2U2 and had problem with the power leak but then switched to pocket shield which was great, I even wrote a post about it somwhere in this forum... but after some time with pocket shiel it showed 2 very annoying problems. One was that somehow it totally messed up my galarm application to the point it didn't ring the phone alarm at all (I was very pissed of). Since I am a good man I decided to give it one more chance so I uninstalled galarm and used standard windows alarm app... unforutnately this misworked same way- no alarm, this time i was smart enough to test it. Second thing was that pocket shield was messing start menu in my phone - making it disapear until restart, whenever appointment reminder would start...so this is why I dumped pocket shield and moved back to the simplest standard windows lock function
using s2u2, I like the feature, "keylock: do not lock buttons." I installed keylock.cab, but no effect. There is another way?

LOL
cant believe! hilarious!

www.ac-s2.com
hey did you read his post? he says all lock apps are unattractive. Apparently the Iphone lock looks waaaaay better than S2u2. I mean the iphone lock cant be customized so its waaaay more attractive than s2u2 that can look like anything.
S2u2
Pocketshield
Throttlelock
These are all customizable therefore potentally infinitely more attractive
I posted the Wrong URL i meant to paste this http://iphone3g-india.com/password-protect-your-applications-sms-pictures-in-iphone/
and i said "App Lock" Not Device Lock
Now back to the matter Can someone help me out here with a link or developing something like that
Ok if your are looking for a program that unlocks individual programs and areas of your phone you may have to wait. In the mean time tell us what type of phone you have. You dont go to an engineer and ask him to make an engine then walk away.
Otherwise download the latest version of S2u2 it has a password mode. It locks everything but its the closest thing you will find. If you dont like the way it looks (i dont know why, since the application you linked to is hideous) you can always customize it

I have been searching for an application locker for WM6 too, but without success. I'm running an Xperia by the way...
Palm had AppLock, Symbian S60v3 has Advanced Device Locks, so what has WM6 got? Nothing as far as I can tell.
I'm not looking for something that is bombproof, just something to deter the casual observer. I'd like to specify which applications to protect, and when someone runs one of those applications it pops up a 'please enter password' request - enter the right password and the application launches, enter the wrong password and the application doesn't launch.
Then, if I give my phone to someone to play with, I know they can't go poking around at things I don't want them to see...but they CAN see the device in action for themselves...
I've never figured out why such a thing doesn't exist - I'd have thought it would be a popular thing to want...
I knows it so easy to develop a app like this with all the new apps out no one still havent made a good enough app lock

Slide to unlock - But not S2U(2)

I'm looking for a slide-to-unlock solution for my X1. It should NOT come with any additional features (as S2U2 unfortunately does). I don't need to lock it for incoming calls, my phone software does this by itself. I only need an app which will lock the device on wakeup so I have to slide to unlock. Nothing more and nothing less. The best thing would be a Today-plugin.
One more question: If such a software does not exist, how hard would it be to create one? I am an experienced programmer in VB, JavaScript and PHP, so I don't think I would have to learn a lot. The question is just whether the process of locking/unlocking the phone and capturing the wakup-event etc. is actually easy to program. I don't want to write more than 50 lines of code for this and it has to work very well with that. Do you think this is possible?

As I don't know how screen slides are registered, I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine it'd need more than 100 lines.
Things you have to keep in mind that it has to be full-screen, always on top, locking hardware buttons as well etc.
If you manage to get this to work, I'd be very much obliged, as I'm looking for the exact same thing!
My advice: Make it semi-transparant and add an easy to modify image (png) that tells you to slide, which turns from red to green when you're set and then disappears.
I recommend making it fullscreen slide, the way lockmelite does, but then with the image added.
Nice to know that I'm not the only one looking for it
So you would propose a transparent fullscreen app? I would prefer using the Windows-lock, but I think once it's in, the only way to unlock is through the standard procedure. Can anyone confirm this? What other ways are there to lock the touchscreen? Is there a way to keep a transparent windows always on top? And an easy function to lock the hw-keys? Would you just set up a sort of hook and don't pass the keypress event? Is there a way to ensure that the event will not be passed on to other apps such as AEButtons? I really need some serious information on this before I start reading tutorials and organizing compilers etc.
simple screen lock that works
I came across this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419525
Works well, I had to set "on call unlolck" and switch of it's "slide to answer" function to prevent issues with my current ROM.
works a charm on my X1 using TouchIT 4.5 !
tried a few others out, but all had one or another issue. For more, search for "screen lock" in main forum search.

Yeah, first monthly registration sucks and I don't like the software. I've had it installed twice and I'm not satisfied (R2A ROM though). Performance is bad, many mismatches because of this. Application always comes in to protect, for example at boot - but it's completely useless because you can blast it away if you know enough to install it in the first place. deifnitely a no-go for me.

I think it might be alot harder then you imagine. Programming in PHP is very, very easy. The best option is probably try to find one of the eary s2u2 cabs. Maybe A_C has some tips for you
For Dev... MSDN may have the answer
If you are looking for examples of how to program the slide yourself, there's a good sample on codeproject:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/IPhoneUI.aspx
It's written in C#.NET but if you can program VB.NET you should be able to read through and vaguely understand what's going on.
The sample is an iPhone clone UI, not just the slide-to-unlock bit and I think the sample is QVGA. Either way, its better than having to work it all out from scratch ;o)
I've been meaning to write something similar but unfortunately life isn't giving up the time at the moment. If I get around to it I'll post it on XDA for everyone else to enjoy!

Damn, this program is nice!
I always have problems with S2U2 because it's slow, often incoming calls messes the screen so I'm not able to answer and sometimes the color depth of the screen changes to approx. 5 colors after unlocking and only a softreset helps.
PocketShield seems to be cut to the essential: locking and unlocking.
I'll try it a bit more

It does, but with not all of its features. PocketShield has 3 essential ways to unlock: light, slide and gestures.
X1 does not have a G-sensor, so gestures unlock won’t be available.
It does has a light sensor but apparently it is very difficult for 3rd apps to access it, so light unlock will neither be available.
Only “slide to unlock” will work. And due to this a special deal has been made for the Xperia community… You might be interested: http://www.pocketshield.net/Xperia

HD2: Can the lock slider change to bottom?

Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.
It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].
! It's in German.

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.
