Is there any way to change the Windows Lock Screen to S2U2?
I am using Exchnage server and Activesync all my stuffs from Exchange server. The Exchange Server has to enforce the password lock screen policy. It is becuase the default windows lock screen is so ugly and I want to use S2U2.
I tried to install S2U2. It will lock the screen but Windows default lock screen kick in too. (double locked)
I tried to disable Windows default lock screen but not success (Maybe Exchange ploicy is in placed). Do anyone has any idea?
<<HERE YOU GO>>.
Enjoy...
Please abide by forum rules and post in correct forum. I've moved thread to General discussion
when I use the hard key to activate the lock screen. It still bring up the windows default lock screen.
When I use lock screen buttom from HTC sence 2.5. It also bring up the windows default lock screen,.
Did you do this in the right order?
• install cab
• soft reset
• then install S2U2
• soft reset again

thanks to SMYKUL in this post, who gave me this workaround. here's a step-by-step workaround for those who are not familiar with notification queue.
IMPORTANT: this workaround can be used only when the "Lock when device wakes up" S2U2 option is turned on
launch Task Manager
--> goto Notifications tab
--> click "add" toolbar (i.e. the second toolbar button)
--> fill in notification details as:
type = Application
app = \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
argument = <blank>
type = CNT_EVENT
event = The device woke up
--> soft reset

i don't really understand what this workround is for ! What do you mean by return from suspend ? I've no issue on my device : when I press power button, SU2U is here.
me too
the symtom is, sometimes S2U2 is brought to front when resume from suspend mode, but sometimes not. i noticed that the longer time my touch dual remained in suspend mode, relatively higher chance for having Today screen placed on top of the S2U2 screen. sometimes when not that severe, only top Start bar of the Today screen placed on top of S2U2, but not the full Today screen. i read some posts from the S2U2 thread and also a local forum that the same problem not only happens on my device, but some others... while obviously not every, which sounds very odd. when S2U2 not on the front, a symptom is, S2U2 can be found from the HTC Task Manager program list, meaning the S2U2 already brought to visible by iLock2 but not being on topmost due to unknown reason.
the workaround here is for sharing with those who suffers from the same problem while really like to use S2U2.

Hi.
I've seen somthing like that on my Niki.
I've notist that PIE was open, so i closed it and tried again. And bingo, there was S2U2 running.
I think there was other programs, that stopped S2U2 from running(On resume from suspend mode), but i cant remember other than PIE atm.
It seems that PIE just need to be running to stop S2U2, even minimized it still prevents S2U2 from resuming.
But you can still launch S2U2 manually, even if PIE is running, and then goto suspend mode.

a pity that it is not my case. the case you mentioned was when any S2U2-excepted programs (determined by S2U2 EXE1-9 registry keys) are running. in this case, S2U2.exe is not turned to visible at all. (symptom: S2U2 cannot be found from the HTC Task Manager program list)
in my case, i could see S2U2 being launched first, then in a flash the Today screen overlays on it. in some cases only the top Start bar overlays on S2U2, in some other cases the whole Today screen overlays on S2U2. (symptom: S2U2 can be found from the HTC Task Manager program list)
i suspect it's because i've modified the GLYPHCACHE size or any other system tweaks that makes the Today screen taking longer than usual to be redrawn, resulting in a later point of time than S2U2.
That's what I want only backwards!
I would like s2u2 to lock my phone but be able to see the today screen (in the background) is there any way to do that??
hi, i saw this odd behaviour on my polaris, was quite annoying, not to mention making my phone look like a dog's dinner!!
Hi all, happy New Year!
New to this forum and the Pure and have some questions.
I can't seem to find out how to do this with the phone. I want it to go to a home screen that shows time/date or something like that, after a period of time. In the windows app list I can press the lock button and it gets me to something acceptable, so I thought that might be an option. All settings for the lock require a PIN and I don't want to mess with that (at least right now).
Is this possible?
Another question, is it possible to integrate the installed apps into Manila, rather than having to go to the programs list? (Makes me feel like it's the main folder in Windows 3.x )
Is there a way I can back up the default configuration (ROM, etc) of the phone so if I hack it up too bad I can restore it?
Thanks for any help, still learning how to tweak this thing...

For the autolock change this register value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable; from 0 to 1
You can use total commander its freeware
No! but if you flash ROM with manilla 2.5 you can have up to 20 shortcuts on home screen with mods
Another option for the screen lock is to get csdevctrl:

You can have it autolock the screen after time, or if you press the power button. As for the programs, you can add more shortcuts with this:

Thanks guys!
I will look into both options.
Now to figure out how to get programs down to it and edit the registry!
Lost "Phone" and "Menu" softkeys in bottom taskbar on startscreen after setup ExServe
Hello all,
after setting up my companies exchange server I somehow lost the "phone" and the "menu" softkeys in the bottom taskbar on the startscreen (refer to attached picture). On all other screens like "email", "camera", "twitter", a.s.o. the softkeys appear normal and work fine.
As a sidenotice: The exchange server forces the phone to set up a device lock (4 digit passcode, whenever the phone the risen from sleep mode).
When I kill the outlook email account and disable the device lock, the home screen returns to "normal", meaning the softkeys again are available.
It seems to me, that somehow the forced device lock is causing the startscreen, and only the startscreen, to loose the link to the normally assigned softkeys.
Is it possible to set up the softkeys on the bottom taskbar manually? I am no expert in this and approach you kind guys with a lot of hope that someone can help me as I am really lost in what to do in that case. Spent already hours on different forums searching, but did not find something really helpfull .
Thank you so much!
Matri *just lost*
I tried to bring back the softkeys by using BSBTweaks 1.6. Asigning the left softkey to e.g. evernotes did not yield any results on the startkeys.
Also modification of the registry keys did not lead to success. When I look u the respective keys in HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ there is the correct entry for the left softkey. The values for the right softkey were blank. I tried to change them like this:
HomeLSKText: Rechner
HomeLSKPath: \Windows\calc.exe
No results unfortunatelly after softreset.
I really do not know what is going on there.
After endless testing it became very apparent, that the problem is caused only after the reboot of the HD2. The encoding of the phone due to to forced policy seems to change the homescreen slighly and makes it buggy.
Still do not now how to solve the issue. Webadming of my company is lost, too. Disableing the enforcing of the policy for me is - obviously - no option. Contacted HTC for support.
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
Good evening, Does Anybody know how to set the button so as to block lock and unlock the OMNIA 2;; thanks
Is simply, in configuration->general->button you can set button function. Here you can change button1 function to lock, if you no find the lock command, you can use other program like SPB Mobile shell, this include a link to lock and you can set this to the button1. Maybe can find the lock windows aplication on other site like windows folder, I don't now.
