iLock like application for the standard keylock

Just wondering..
Is there an iLock (from Slide2Unlock) like application available that will use the standard keylock feature rather than the slide.exe..
I tried using vjdevicelock with the -pwfoff flag and it works great... but I can't assign that to the power button on my hermes..
What I'm after is a way to have the standard keylock come on automatically as soon as I press the power button to send the phone to sleep. I realise this has probably been done before but all the apps i've tried dont work exactly as ilock does.. (ie sitting in the background and activating on power button tap - this is perfect)
Im thinking that I can probably create my own slide.exe to trick ilock.exe into running it and have that call vj's util with the right shortcut.. but thats a hassle when i'm sure its already been done.. (if it hasnt and anyone wants it ill make one though as id love this feature)
Cheers,
Sam

All sounds wrong to me - you want to just use something like SK Tools or basically anything that lets you create notifications (or use code!).
Create a notification that loads whatever.exe on power on, so as soon as the system powers on (ie after you've powered it off previously), notification is received and whatever.exe is launched.
You don't need to spoof VJDeviceLock etc.

PS Maybe I read wrong. VJDeviceLock works on my Hermes. I use v0.3 and use the -install command line option to install the above notification. It automagically locks my hermes on power on.

Check out Device Lock.

I am at work so I can't really take a look at it, but I second the idea of keeping the issue simple. Just just SK Tools, and do a bit of searching in the \windows folder.
There should be a *.exe that activates the lock feature. Then you can map it to a button. That is how I have setup the Memory Manager to a key so that way I do not need to download a task manager per se, or what I do not is that I have the task mananer.exe that comes with Black Shadow... etc.
The point is that it should be able to be done. Just take a look.

I don't think there is a specific .exe to active keylock - some phones do have one, but I can't remember if HTCs do.
It's technically an API call, but there are other ways to activate it too.

Editing the Start Button

I use SPB Mobile Shell and I would like to make it so "SPB Menu" comes up when I press the Start button on the top left hand corner.
Is there a way to do this?

I dont think this is possible, but why would you want to do that, a pop up menu is great in my opinion.
I recommend you to assign the spb menu to one of your hardware keys, like the camera key or something like that,

It is possible - for example QuickMenu can replace the start menu with itself. HTC EnlargeStart Menu does the same. Maybe it needs some kind of registry hack.

I LOVE the SPB Menu and since I use my fingers 99% of the time on my Touch I don't really have a use for the built in Start menu.
I know there has to be a way to do this, I just hope it is a easy one.

I looked through my registry a bit but I didn't see anything that would change this.
It has to be possible.
Is there a way to do a registry dump, perform the HTC Start Menu Tweak and then perform another dump and somehow compare them to see what has changed?

With Wisbar Advance 3 you can map the start button to anything you want.

I installed Wisbar Advance Desktop to play around with when I first got my Touch. I uninstalled it because I didn't like the functionality. After the uninstall I still have Wisbar icons showing up in some of my menu's. There is no way I am going to install one of their bloated products just to do one simple function.

Hi, i am looking for the same Startbutton tweak.
I want to remove the Startbutton AND the word "Start" right to the button.
Wisbar Lite Taskmanager does remove the word "Start".
I'd like to know how this works, and somehow it must be possible to remove or reassign the Startbutton without installing WAD or WA3, a megapackage for only one function.

If someone has the skills to do this and/or write a simple program to make this happen I wouldn't mind compensating them. Either in $$ or Webhosting!

Nothing is being removed in most of these cases, the start button and or title bar is being covered up.

I don't want anything removed, I just want to change the link on the Start menu to point to something else.

bump it up!

I compared the registry with the large menu on and off and this is all I found. Not much help (for me anyway).
BIG START MENU
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"DropDown"=dword:00000000
"Enable"=dword:00000001
LITTLE START MENU
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
"DropDown"=dword:00000000

He says that it's not a registry tweak... maybe those programs relocate the title bar and put themselves in that positions looking similar with different functions... That is the way that evb used to work fullscreen (relocating the title bar, sip and taskbar)...

I finally gave in and reinstalled Wisbar Advance. I would rather accomplish this without using Wisbar but for now it will work.

Need help customizing SmartPhone Shortcut Menu!!!

I have a WM6 SmartPhone and I'm trying to figure out where in the registry that I control the shortcut list that is displayed on the home screen.
First off, I don't want the list updated based on which applications are most recently used. I don't want it updated at all!
Second, I want to specify EXACTLY which 6 shortcuts I want displayed and I also want to control what order they are in.
Can someone please point me towards which registry keys I should be looking for then I can go from there....
Thanks!

Modding the SMS\MMS Screen

Does anyone know how I might be able to change the default lower toolbar buttons in the SMS\MMS screen? At present the options are "Delete" & "Menu" and I want the 'delete' to be replaced with 'New SMS', it seems daft to have a 3 stage process just to send a quick SMS. A new message menu would be an acceptable compromise but I'd prefer a direct link to an SMS since I use those the most by far.
Are there any registry mods that I can implement to do this?
I'm using the official 6.1 WWE rom by the way.

I use a program called WM5 New Menu and used M2DC to make my left soft key launch it from the today screen. Basically it allows me in one press to create new SMS, Appointment, Contact etc. Its quite configurable.

i know what he wants, and that's not it. isn't there some way to change it within the program?

Disable End Key Lock

I've been scouring the forums with no luck so far, I need a way to disable the lock that is attached to a short press of the End Key on my Touch 2's.
Reg Tweak, app any suggestions welcome, its causing me quite a problem, I want to roll these out for a corporate app and the kiosk I use is not blocking this operation.
Cheers - Sam

i m also searching for the same solution , any help ?

if you search by google you can find solution. For this time i write solution but in future search first with google or in this forum with search tools
For disable lockscreen you can modify this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen:Enable "0"
You can use ceregedit (with pc) or PHM registry editor

Dude,
I've tried doin that but all u're gonna do is invoke the old lockscreen from previous WM version... I think what the other guy wants is totally no lockscreen at all =)

yep
tried that, we really need the lock and screenlock removing so this button does nothing at all

lockscreen dll?
I think that the function is given by dll lockscreen.dll. Tonight I try to replace it and see what happens. We'll let you know later.

hi, I was trying some software in my Touch and I got myself into situation where my phone did not lock up after pressing "power off" button but I was still able to lock the screen using Lock software button/icon. It was simply result of installing S2U2 and configuring it as default lockscreen.
If you perform these steps only known way to return to default state is hard reset!
Install S2U2.
right after installation goto start menu > directory s2u2 > click on S2U2 and it should se itself.
Uninstalll S2U2
in settings > lock set your default lock screen

Well you can recover the original lock screen and everything by downloading this file http://acs2.mstreme.com/download/RestoreWM65DeviceLock.cab.
For more info check s2u2's FAQ, under WM 6.5, "Q. How to restore the WM6.5 built-in lock?", here http://67.43.3.117/~acs2co/S2U2-faq.html

disable in WM6.5 the Key Lock / Keylock at Standby
I find a possibility to deactivate the Key lock in standby at Windows Mobile 6.5 :
with this registry key:
Add a new "DWORD" value
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Keybd
Name: DeviceLockWhenSuspend
Value: 0
after this take a softreset and have fun
