Can i move the lock screen slider from the top to the bottom somehow?
And before teh "use s2u2" replies start, i have tried it but i just find it too bloated and i like the standard MS lock screen. I just want to move the slider to the bottom of the screen.
Thanks
EDIT: See my last post for my lockscreen file and howto.
So...
So how'd you move the slider to the bottom? I can't belive it's placed at the top originally, it's a bit of a reach and doesn't exactly increase comfort on this huge device.
try to change <Text ID="TapOrSlide" ... > and <Text ID="SlideToUnlock" ...>

I have tried editing various tags in the LS-Lockscreen file but with no luck in changing that slide text.

There's a CAB here to move the slider to the bottom of the screen here
http://www.cabcache.com/cabs.asp?cab=22
makes a lot more sense having the slider lower down the screen. at the top of the screen you need spindly super thumbs.
having just tried the cab to move the slider down i didnt like where it put it so i uninstalled it and now i have no slide to unlock screen at all! i just get the left softkey saying unlock and that takes you to the grey screen with another unlock button which is the old windows style i think... how can i get it back?
THe way i moved the slider down was to copy
LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr
from \windows\lockscreen
to the SD card. I then edited that on my my pc to change the "top" setting to 450
<Form Width="480" Height="800">
<LS_LockScene ID="Scene">
<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="450" .............
This places the slider just above the appointments when you have them. Copy the file back into \windows\lockscreen and soft reset.
I will play with the text parameters mentioned above and see if i can get them to move down as well.
EDIT: Sorted thanks, got the text at the right place as well now!!
Ive attached my settings file if anyone wants to give it a try. You will just have to rename the extension from .txt to .cpr then copy it to your \windows\lockscreen folder. (Clearly might be worth making a backup first of your original file incase you want to move the slider back).
Thanks for the good idea
Here are the aditional changes based on your post I made for moving some text in the lock screen:
in the same file LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr
find: <Text ID="SlideToUnlock" Top="90"
and replace "90" with "530"
This will move the text "slide" under the button.
find: <Text ID="TapOrSlide" Top="90"
and replace "90" with "530"
This will move the text "tap or slide" (appears when you have missed calls) under the button.
There is only one thing to move down - the icon for missed calls/sms. But at this time I like it at the top of the screen.
where do i access \windows\lockscreen

Use File Explorer or browse your phone from PC. If you browse from PC you must actvate "show hidden files and folders" on PC because dir "Windows" on HD2 is a hidden folder.

First of all I searched for this answer for hours and didn't find anything.
I installed Wisbar and it had an option so that whenever you held down the stylus over the clock on the task bar it would open "Clocks & Alarms," instead of showing the menu of Analog or Digital.
Basically I want to be able to do this without having to use Wisbar (I uninstalled it already, wasn't for me.) Can anyone help? A registry edit, replacing a file with a shortcut, I dunno something. It doesn't have to be the hold option, it could just be the single tap.
Thanks in advance!
Uuuhhhhh....enable the Date Plug-in on the Today Screen and tap it?
Thanks for the fast reply but I don't use the "Date" Today plug-in. I use the tweak that displays the date and time in the task bar.
If you want to make a link use my fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57134&highlight=

Make a shortcut on your PDA using something like GSFinder and edit it to say:
Code:
"ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,16
Otherwise use notepad on your PC, and type:
Code:
27#"ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,16
Save it as clocks.lnk, copy onto your PDA and run it.

Do I copy clocks.lnk into a specific folder on my pda?
THank you very much vijay555
Edit: I put clocks.lnk into My Documents and nothing happened it just sent me to the start of file explorer. What does this exactly do?
you need to put it in /windows/start menu/ and then it will show up when u hit start.
gtdRR: apologies, I've edited the post above to clarify - if you're using gsfinder, then make the shortcut described, but if you're using Notepad to make the .lnk (which is the easiest way, copy and paste on your PC then sync it over to your PDA) then use the 27#.... method I've posted.
You can stick it anywhere, doesn't have to be in \windows\

Thanks once again vijay555, that will be very useful but I would still like to find out if the shortcut can be enabled like it was when I had WisBar. Through the clock on the taskbar.
THANKS FOR ALL THE FAST REPLIES!
I found another way to get to Clock & Alarms. Hold the action button on the D-Pad and then click and hold the clock in the task bar. With practice this can be done in 2 sec. When you let go a menu pops up and then you just choose Clock.

I don't use that program.
samans wm5newmenu can set clocks&alarms as an item under the left or right softkey, or buttons.
Anyway the device lock be mapped to a soft key instead of a hard key? I have it mapped to the messaging button, but would rather have it at the calendar or contacts button.

A little program called WM5NewMenu should do it. It's free, just put it into a google search.

Thx, but all this did was to let me rename the word "calendar" to "device lock", with the actual calendar program still assigned to the left softkey.

I'm trying to get some directions for the program, from doing a little research on google it looks like you can reassign the button with that program, just have to figure out how. I'll look for some direction on the program.
Ok, I figured it out.
Goto WM5newmenu, under "launch by:" select "Left Softkey" Then under "Soft Key Label:" enter your label (ie. "Lock")
Then goto the "items" tab. select "new" then select the little box next to "parameters:" select "windows" then ""go into" at the bottom.
Scroll over to "BSDeviceLock.exe" then hit "select"
Then enter "lock" or whatever you want under "item label:"
You will see the new entry on the left side of the screen, you may have to scroll down a little. You can uncheck all of the other items and just leave the new "Lock" item you created. After that select ok and do a soft reset.
After it resets, hit your left sofkey, you will see your newly created lock pop up. Then just hit the center button on the pad! It locks!! I just did this and it works!!
Hope this helps,
Just found this, it's even better then WM5newmenu:
Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application
Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)
Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” ( you would enter “Windows/BSdevicelock.exe”)
Perform a soft reset
Look in your windows folder to see if you have BSdevicelock.exe if you don't let me know and i'll get it to you.

I did the registry edit, and when I tap the left soft key, I get "the file device lock cannot be opened due to an untrusted certificate, or one of its components is missing." I could NOT find BSdevicelock.exe in the Windows folder. Where in windows should this file be located?
I would like that BSdevicelock as well, if I could.
Its in the root windows folder, you probably don't have it.
I'll attach it as soon as I get home from work tonight!
Just copy it into your windows directory.
BSDevicelock
Just unzip this and place it in your windows folder with the registry change.
Hope this helps!

Got it good buddy! I kept the other items in WM5NewMenu and labeled the softkey "Menu", and changed BSdevicelock in the label box to Device Lock. Now all I do is hit the new softkey "Menu", scroll to device lock, hit the center button on the D pad. Device locks like you said it would! I was able to do this after extracting the BSdevicelock.zip to my Windows folder. Excellent instructions! Thx a MILL! If you discover anything else that's appealing, let me in on it..o.k.? Just found out I could move Device Lock to the top. Now I don't have to scroll down.

I use MortSaver (Phone Edition) which locks and blanks screen and relocks/blanks screen after calls/reminders etc..
guys you seem to me to be making this quite hard for yourselves
use this softkey app to change the softkeys (3rd post)
use this device lock app.
go to start/settings/system/softkey and select the device lock app
and soft reset, softkey changes generally don't occur until after

None of your "this" links worked for me. Besides, I'm content now.
My old simple Nokia 6200 had a feature whereby the keypad was locked automatically without need for a PIN three minutes (selectable) after a call when there was no activity.
Is there any easy way to implement this ? I can map H/W keys (thanks to Molski) but this isn't quite the same.

Is BSdevicelock better than the lock app already on the device in the Windows folder??
The app im talking about is called devicelock.exe on my device. I have an HTC Wizard
I did not have devicelock.exe in my windows folder originally. BSdevicelock is just a little program that simply locks the device. I don't have devicelock.exe, but I imagine they probably do the same thing. I think BSdevicelock is actually installed by the BatteryStatus program. If you have a later version of Battery Status, you should have BSdevicelock.
Hi guys, how can we change the "Phone" and "Contacts" buttons at the bottom of the screen? At Helmi-the greatest-'s WM5 ROM there were little programs to do so.
Anyway, there were lots of little programs and settings at Helmi's WM5 ROM. Where can we find them for WM6 ROM?
here you go...
Thank you raymonds and of course baniaczek.

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help. In the SBP panel there's a nice 'rotate screen' button under the tool menu.
Now i've got TFL3D installed and would like a quick way to rotate screen (I use TomTom7 and the phone is held in a generic car holder horizontally)
I liked to rotate the screen quickly then start up tom tom (As the onscreen keyboard is thumbable when horizontal)
Now using TFL3D there's no quick way (you have to goto start menu/settings/system/screen)
I was wondering is there anyway it can be installed as a program somehow and added to the program page?....Thoughts?
Thanking you in advance.
What I did is I made one of my silver hard buttons be a Portrait/Landscape toggle button.
To do this, go to Start --> Settings --> Personal tab --> Buttons
Now you can choose the left or right silver key, and under "Assign a program" you can pick "<Rotate Screen>".
By pressing it and re-orienting the phone at the same time, I accidentally fooled a friend into thinking that it has an accelerometer lol cuz he didn't notice me pressing it.
too bad we can only map 2 keys... I want to remap camera and panel button

Yeh, I did think of that, but I prefer the mappings of my hard buttons to be 'more useful' i.e. something that I use all the time, rather than the rotate function.
I was primarily asking if an .exe could be written that would rotate the screen, I then could install it as a program and add to the program screen.
Does any of the programmers here think that's possible? (I'm gonna admit that this is kind of a begging post)

Regesteryyyy?
so..nobody has any ideas then?
I use AE Button Plus to map double clicking the camera button (pressed just lightly, not enough to take a picture) to rotate the screen.
The line in AEBPlus.cfg is
Key 00c5 a0000 a0015 a0000 a0000
...though you can also go through the File menu and select Add button.
The default action for the button is nothing, so it's a good choice for something like this.

First, download and install Mortscript via http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Second, create a file tomtom.mscr that contains the following script:
Code:
If ( ProcExists("TomTom Navigator.exe") )
Show("TomTom Navigator")
Else
Run( "\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" )
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
If (ExternalPowered())
Rotate 270
EndIf
Third, create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs to this tomtom.mscr file.
And if you want a nice TomTom-icon for your shortcut, change the shortcut file to:
Code:
24#"\My Documents\tomtom.mscr"?\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-0
(my tomtom.mscr is in \My Documents)
After this you have a shortcut to start TomTom if not started yet, to quickly show TomTom if already started, and it will automatically rotate the screen if it is charging in your car holder.

Awesome! Works a treat, thank you so much
This thread is for those who use the HTC Lockscreen and who:
A) Like the slider at the top of the screen, but are looking for a fix for that pesky 3-4 second delay before it becomes responsive. For this method, you can either apply the reg edit below in "UPDATED FIX 1-Dec-2010 Registry Edit Fix", install the attached cab and follow the instructions in the "UPDATE 1-Jan-2010 paragraph" or install the startup exe. as per UPDATE 30-March-2010;
and for those who...
B) would like to flip the slider from the top to the bottom. For this, I highly recommend HeartofWolf's Lockscreen fix located here http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363. There are plenty of mods that move the slider to the bottom, but the benefit of his cab is that the calendar notification icon disappears once a calendar event has expired. The downside for me is that the slider is resized a bit too skinny. If you install the cab and find the slider to be too small and would prefer the slider to be the normal oem size, I have modified the LS_Lockscene_480x800.cpr to do just that. Further in the mod, I have moved the slider up from the bottom to be at approximately thumb height. To install the modified LS_Lockscene_480x800.cpr:
1)You will first need to install HeartofWolf's Lockscreen fix V4, if you haven't already.
2)Download and unzip the LS_Scene_480x800_modification file below.
3) Move the LS_Scene_480x800.cpr file to your device and copy and paste it into the lockscreen folder located in File Explorer->Windows->Lockscreen.
4) Soft-Reset. You're done.
Note: If you install HeartofWolf's cab, there is no need to install the registry delay fix. Flipping the slider from top to bottom solves the delay. If you later uninstall the cab, you may lose the lockscreen. If that happens, no problem, just copy the original lockscreen files also attached below back into the Lockscreen file in File Explorer->Windows and soft-reset.
TIP: Slider Notifications
If you use the notification sliders to access missed calls, voicemail, email etc. , but wished the voicemail slider called your voicemail instead of taking you to your dialpad or the email slider went to your inbox instead of the manila tab, then take a look at the following thread by Da_G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
___________________________________________
History and Updates
UPDATED 21-April-2010 Fixed each of the notification sliders' position in LS_Lockscene 480x800 so as not to overlap the unlock slider. When I moved the unlock slider up further from the bottom to be at approximate thumb height, I did not adjust the notification sliders up along with it. So, when you had more than one notification and the sliders dropped down, one or two would overlap the unlockslider. That has been adjusted.
UPDATED 30-March-2010 Thanks and big credits to Trueg who created a start up exe. that will run the reg edit at start up. The beauty of his exe is that in the past if you realigned your screen, on your next softreset, the delay would return, at which point you would have to reinstall the cab or reapply the reg edit and soft reset. What Trueg's exe. does is run the reg edit on each start-up. So each time you reset your phone, the reg edit that solves the delay automatically runs.
To install:
1. Download and unzip the "setFirstCal" file below.
2. Copy and paste the setFirstCal.exe inside your "StartUp" folder located in File Explorer->Windows->StartUp.
3. Softreset. Done.
If you choose this method, there is no need to install the cab or apply the reg edit. This will take care of everything for you.
UPDATED 1-Jan-2010 Cab file for Registry Edit is now available below. Credit and thanks to cduijker. After installing, please remember to soft reset. If for some reason the cab does not work for you, check to see if you have the registry setting as discussed below in the "UPDATED FIX 12/1/09". If you do not have the setting then it appears this fix is not the solution for you.
UPDATED 1-Dec-2010 Registry Edit Fix
For those who would like to fix the lockscreen delay, but would prefer to do so without having to hardreset or reflash, I have the fix for you. Before I begin I would like to give a BIG thanks and credit to kieboy for testing this edit and providing feedback!
Open your favorite registry editor and navigate to:
1) HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd
2) look for the entry named: FirstCalibration
3) If it's there, you can do one of two things 1) delete it or 2) as suggested to me by kieboy, you can change the dword value from 1 to 0.
4) softreset. To be sure, I recommend a manual softreset using your stylus opposed to a softreset program. I've tested this fix on a couple of roms and one of the softreset programs would not allow the fix to take.
5) bring up the lockscreen in "start", push the power button to turn the screen off (standby) and then back on. The slider should immedietely respond.
If it doesn't work, you can always realign your screen and the deleted or changed value should reappear after a softreset.
Please note: From time to time you may need to realign your screen. If you do, remember to go back into the registry and perform the edit again. The reason being is that manually aligning the screen creates the value "FirstCalibration", which appears, at least in part, to be the culprit causing the delay.
Also note that on occassion the slider gets stuck on one side or the other depending on which way you slide it. If it sticks, just tap the slider and it will unlock. Doesn't happen very ofter, but it does happen.
If you would like to solve the delay by avoiding the screen alignment process altogether after each hard reset or flash, please continue reading below.
November 22, 2009 Alternative Solution
The lockscreen delay is nothing new and has been defined around the forum as a 2-3 second delay between the time the device is woken up from standby and the time the slider becomes responsive to either unlock the device or access the slider notifications. Indeed, in the past there have been some excellent fixes: mindfrost82, tommy34 and heartofwolf, just to name a few. By in large, these fixes are edits to .Cpr files and in most cases no longer work, except for heartofwolf, on the newer manila 2.1 and 2.5 roms with the HTC Lockscreen. The heartofwolf fix, however, resizes the slider and puts it at the bottom of the screen, which at the time was the known protocol to fix the delay. It should be noted that using a password to unlock is a fix too. Some are not bothered by the delay while others are. I myself like the slider instantly responsive and accesible once the screen is on. If you fall into the latter category I may have a fix.
I believe the slider delay is the direct result of manual screen calibration or aligning the screen during initial set up after either a new rom flash or hard reset. If you skip the "welcome" process, i.e. screen alignment, date and time setting etc. you will also skip the process that creates the delay. What in manual screen alignment is linked to the delay is something I am looking into.
The solution, as I see it for now, is to skip or bypass the screen alignment process altogether. Some Chefs do this already, namely Dutty, to among other things speed up the set up process.
How to do it: there are a couple of ways you can find in the forum, however, one way is to:
1) Create a blank text file on your PC and name it, welcome.not Be sure it does not save as welcome.not.txt or it won't work. If so, remove the .txt.
2) Next, place the text file in the root of your storage card.
3) Now, flash a new rom or hard reset and you're done.
Another way:
1) Open file explorer on your device.
2) Go to the root directory of your storage card.
3) With your stylus or finger, tap and hold the screen and wait for the menu to pop open.
4) from th menu create a new file and name it welcome.not
5) Now you can hard reset or flash a new rom.
It's up to you whether you leave your SD in during flash. I do not. If you do not, after the rom flash, stick your SD in and hard reset. If all goes to plan, the "welcome" phase will be bypassed, and you will not be prompted to align the screen or set the date, location, time etc.
To test and see if there is no delay, once the device is set up, go to the start menu, press the lock button at the bottom of the screen. When the lock pops up, turn your screen off. Wait a second or two and turn it back on. The slider should respond instantly. NOTE: if you go into settings and manually align the screen, upon soft reset, the delay will be back.
The screen coordinates should load automatically after the bypass. If for any reason you need them, here are the Blackstone alignment coordinates from HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Touch/ Calibrationdata:
511,542 183,881 183,198 834,197 883,880.
S3
Thanks for the useful info!
I also don't like the delay in lockscreen slider, so at next flash I will test it.
EDIT: I tested it and works great!!!
Thanks!!!
I stopped calibrating my screen, because it seemed unnecessary. My screen seems to work flawlessly without it.
Btw - I'm using LIA 13.5 MobileShell version without manila. I didn't calibrate and I have no delay when it wakes up. You might be onto something!

@jolas, Excellent! Did you use a blank text file or a blank file folder inside the SD root?
@Rob, I was hoping someone who did this as a matter of course would post!

The file needs to be named welcome.not instead of welcome.not.txt. Just remove the .txt and you should be good to go.

the file is already named welcome.not. the ".txt" was to show that its a text file...
Edit: ok, you were right. now i removed the .txt bit.
gonna try again tomorrow.
Hope you can find the culprit for this delay for someone like me who cannot afford to do a hard reset..so troublesome. Thanks for the tip though.
I think I found it. See Edit at the top of post #1.
i don't have that key on my Hong Kong machine english rom.... I have done a calibration before and did it once more but it is still not there.. and yes i have about a 1 to 2 seconds delay... cheers...

Are you using an HD, HD2 or other? If HD, what rom are you using and what is the winmo and manila build? If you get a chance, could you list the keys that you do have?
good stuff - props given and sticky requested!
this definitly works....good work...should be added to the wiki
