[APP][Update 07-11-08] LockDown, keeping stuff private

Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone
they usually go right to your SMS inbox?
jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null

Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

Thanks, trying it now

works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!

great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long

This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox

sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Not yet, but is planned for future versions, I'll add it to the todo list.

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

hmmm, not sure i know what you mean. But basically, as it is now, I can't go direct to the inbox of sms using your lockdown? \o?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

bLEhg! lol, ok, will look into that (scratches head )
some novelty things to add: skins, mask input with '*', maybe use symbols instead of numbers, 'jumble' keypad/symbols random for added security (if using symbols )
thanks for infos and keep up the good work

Skinning was already on my list great minds ....
input mask is also a good one

Any chance you can re-scale the images to fit a 240x240 screen res?
Can test it you want.
Cheers, Mike.

@ the rest
there are 4 basic resolutions right?
320 X 240
320 X 320
240 X 240
640 X 480
the rest is pretty exotic (Omni & X1)

is this possible on htm files?
Hi Mr_Gee, thanks for sharing
I have an couple of offline files I would also like to lockdown. Is it possible to lockdown those htm files as well? tia.

have you tried entering them in the FileList.ini file?

currently not working on html files

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...

Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..

I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!

I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.

How to enlarge reply box in threaded SMS screen?

Someone has asked this before but I can't find the thread with the answer in...
There's a way of enlarging the edit box above the keyboard when typing a new SMS in threaded mode so that you can see more than two lines at once.
I think I remember that the solution involves editing one of the .htm files in the Windows folder (or something like that).
Can anybody tell me which file I must edit please?

Disable wake up on new SMS

Is it possible to disable phone wake up when a new message comes in? I want wake up to be enabled when a call is coming, but not for text messages. I think there are some "scripts" in the registry to control the ringing-behaviour and these involve wake up. Is it possible to modify this setting specifically for SMS/MMS?

What does it do to achieve it? I don't like XperiaTweak too much, I don't think it's a very good piece of SW. And it means one app more.

it does what you have asked.

Doesn't sound like it's working well for them. Are you sure this is the same thing that XperiaTweak does?

Have you tried applying the registry tweak mentioned in the threads? It was what you were looking for, wasn't it?
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Select "New" D_Word and you will be asked to enter the details :
Top portion just enter : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
and bottom portion just enter the value : 1

[Request] Auto text on missed call?

Hey, guys. I'm wondering if there's such a way that I can set my phone to auto text someone when A call is missed?
My phone: HTC TOUCH PRO2 (T-Mobile USA)
My phone has a deny with text message feature, but I just want one for when calls are missed.
Mainly want one that can have customize text, so that I can edit it for the different things I'm doing. ( or maybe the auto text message is different according to your profile (IE: in school, it will give a text message saying that I'm in school, or Meeting, ect. )
Just a suggestion, not only for me, but I thought some people would find it useful.

Sorry if there's a Rule Against Grave-Digging. Didn't see anything in the rules about it.
It would be cool if you there's an app that you can set the text messages according to schedual. If I miss calles from 7am-3pm it'll send a text message saying that I'm in school, ect.

[EMAIL] Mark All as read ???

Hey guys,
Is there a way I can select all the emails and mark them all as READ.
I dont want to scroll through 20 unread emails one by one to mark them read :S
How can I do that ?
Oh something just came in mind, its another question which I think is a waste to create a whole new thread for ..
I installed a new ROM update, everything was reset. Do I need to install the camera hotfix as well as other SMS fixes and such ? Or are they included in the latest ROM update (1.66)
Thanks

It tells you on each hotfix what ROM version they apply to. I don't think any are needed with 1.66, but check anyway.
