¸¸.•*¨*•.¸¸ screen activation option with BT ear set - HD2 General

Is there a way in which I can keep the screen locked while a BlueTooth ear set is being used in order to keep the active screen from opening other programs and calling others while in my pocket?

I believe if you hit the settings menue at the bottom left corner it says "LOCK SCREEN"

I'm failing to find "lockscreen"
clicking the "menu" button under the settings tab only brings up "all settings"
Is there another way to find lockscreen or did you, by chance, leave out a few steps?

Screen Taps

Does anyone know how to turn off the annoying "tap" sound when you select the start menu? I don't want to disable any other sounds just the annoying tap when you use the stylus to tap the screen.

k-jam "device unlock" function

has anybody yet found a way to move the "device unlock" function from the today screen to a hard button?
to remove it from the today screen you go to:
Start>settings>Today then items on the bottom and then uncheck device lock.
to move it to a button, i dont know, but what i do is press the power button once and its locked.. just make sure you go to start>settings>buttons then lock on the bottom right and select "lock all buttons except power button"
also theres a way you can do it so it prompts you for a password after you press the power button.
i know how to remove it from the today screen, thanks
but your way turns off the display,
the whole point of the "device unlock" function is the screen is locked but the display still on.
This has been discussed in a few other posts.
I recently looked into this and from the look of it, the functionality is built into the WM5 ROM as it looks like there is no specific exe file that matches the today screen lock function.
Theres a few reg keys that look like they're related to this but none of them have an exe file associated, only dll's.

Vario: Is there a way to autolock the keypad

say like after 5 minutes of inactivity?
Just dont want my new phone to start dialling people when the phone is in my pocket, like my old e200 did all the time.
TIA

Start - Settings - On the Personal tab click "Today" - Go to the "Items" tab and put a check mark on "Device Lock" I don't know if it auto-locks at a certain amount of time, as I rather use the "Lock all buttons except Power Button" setting in "Buttons" . If you wanted to lock automatically your gonna have to punch in your password from the "Lock" setting everytime you bring it out of stand by..... annoying.

Volume on Today Screen

Rather than the little speaker at the top, is there a plugin for the today screen to just tap "ringer on / vibrate / ringer off" ?
I know there is one in the HTC Home plugin, but that takes up a large amount of space on the today screen, and would rather not have that showing.
Thanks for the help.
If you goto Settings > System > End Key, you can set it to Vibrate/Ringer On. It's a handy feature, don't know if it'll be exactly what you want though.

How to (sort of) get OK Google back on any screen

For some reason OK Google Everywhere stopped functioning on my Tmobile Gs5. Even rolling back to older versions of Google's apps didn't help. I did find a kind of work around though by installing Xposed Additions and setting up a long press on the home key to bring up Google Search. Once that screen comes up you can use the "OK Google" phrase and do your search. NOTE: you must be rooted for this and have Xposed Installer installed, of course.
Xposed Additions is a bit complex, so here's how I set mine up:
download Xposed Additions, install and enable it.
Open Xposed Additions.
Select Buttons.
Select Add New Key.
Press the key you want to program (in this case, the home key).
click OK.
Under "keys" you will see "home" added.
Select Home.
Select Add New Condition.
Select Screen On.
Under conditions, you will now see Screen On, with the note under it "no active actions".
Select Screen On.
On the screen that pops up, select Single Action, Long Press.
I don't know why "disabled" comes on, just ignore it.
Now do a long press on "long press".
The "Add new Action" screen will come up.
Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select "Load application list"
Now scroll to "google search" and select it.
You will now be returned to the "Screen On" screen and see that the action for Google Search has been added for screen On Single Action Click.
Press your return key to go to the previous screen. You now see that "screen on" has "1 active action".
Press the return key again. You will return to the Buttons screen and see that Home has 1 condition.
Press return again to return to the Xposed Additions main screen.
You're done.
