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

Hey guys hope everyone is doing ok today, just got a quick question about the soft keys. I have just flashed my ROM to RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE its an excellent rom and would recommend it!
Just one thing tho i have CoPilot the sat nav prog on here and i like to set it to the left soft key so i can just load it quickly. Since i flashed the ROM when i press the left soft key it says "error opening shortcut or locating target filename" just wondering if anyone knows how i could fix this?
Many thanks
More info required.
How to you set the softkey? program or via registry hack? value?
well i set the softkey through the little softkey thing in settings and co pilot was in the list ok it just doesn't seem to work when i click the softkey. Is it a reg setting i need to change?
That is weird, the softkey software should work perfectly. Unless you move the thing away from the application start menu.
Anyway, take a look at the wiki at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
On the section "Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys"
For your case, set it up using the Softkey application, and go into the registry (with any reg edit software) and look at the value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open
See what is the value being set to.
If it is set to the shortcut, try setting it to the exact EXE file.
Hey Folks...
do somebody of you know which registry Hack must be set to avoid Device Lock via long pressed End-Key?
no reg hack required. you can change the function of the long press on the end key via the BUTTONS option in advanced settings, have a scroll through the options at the bottom.
Yeah, i saw this solution before in another thread....
Thx so far for your tipps
Hi,
copy the attached cpl file to windows directory and makes soft reset.
Then you have control panel long press end key in your system settings.

Hi,
i save the landscape mode on the right hardware key (Bildschirm drehen).
After every reboot this setting is gone and i must save it new. After reboot there is "today screen" saved on the right key...
Is it a bug or a feature? Or i am too stupid
X1, german version without branding. I have installed the blackstone TF3 and a few other Programs...but i dont think thats the problem, is it?
Sorry for bad english, only school english (i am german)
Grüße
Flatie
I also assigned the "Bildschirm drehen" to "rotate screen" (left is "start")
Mine does the same:
Normal behavior after a soft reset
PS: after some persistance (manually changing it again and again after every soft reset) it looks like it is not changing back to the "today" default anymore
UPS !!
It was not my "persistance", I got the trick:
I was using TF3D...
After removing TF3D my X1 isn't auto-remapping the right softkey to "home" anymore
Are you using TF3D ??
on left Key i have save "messaging" <-- this setting dont change after reboot automatically. Only the right key change allway to "Today screen"
@gtrab
yes, i use this (from blackstone project)
TF3D will always auto-remap your right softkey to "home"
There's no way to fight against it, unless you install a third-party key remapping app
I have SKTools.
But the problem is the same.
Can I change the Software Button to rotate screen?? I need a path to the "exe" but i dont know..
ups...sorry..but tf3d change the software buttons in every view..so it cant help me...
Guys,
Just used "Search" button, but didn`t find any clue.
I am a proud user of S2U2, and it`s a great software (freeware).
There`s a great option in it - "turn of software buttons", so you can have a clean screen and only clock on it. Unlocking by pressing the Right D-Pad.
Since our device has no D-Pad, I was wondering, if it is possible to assign, i.e. EndCall button long-press for unlocking.
Those button changing apps, didn`t help. Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
Cmon, Guys! Maybe it is possible to do with the prog TopazKbdControl_GSM_1.3.2? Some argument for the iLock.exe file?
I think this might be the wrong thread for this questions.
You sure will get a quick answer if you post a reply in A_C's S2U2 thread here!
Maybe you just missed a setting or trick...
Already reposted there a couple of days ago, but no answers. All I wanna do is make the option of "hide all softkeys" in S2U2 available on our device. Did not find anything in the S2U2 settings...

The option you are looking for is in S2U2 Settings -> Appearance
Maybe S2U2 Settings -> Advanced -> "Don't use keyboard hook" or S2U2 Settings -> Others -> "Directional PAD" is worth a try...
If I understand you right, you should search for gfx that is transparent. You could set them as buttons or slider, can't be seen, but is still functional?
No its actually pretty easy. Performing a Long press on the End key launches "Endkey.exe" from the Windows folder.
I did this for setting up Comm Manager to the the End key.
I just don't know if you can do it if S2U2 installs to another folder outside of windows. You can try making a copy of S2U2's exe file, renaming it to "EndKey.exe" and copying it to the Windows folder.
Some apps will run from any folder.
I've also seem people make a little program that would run, launch another program, then close. I think Opera does that in Manila (OperaL.exe).
You can also try creating a shortcut... and changing the extension from ".lnk" to ".exe". Extensions are really useless, mostly for humans to keep files organized. Might not work on WM but worth a shot.
yeah, that`s true. Thank you! But what special argument should I add to the *.exe, or *.lnk file to perform "unlock"?
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...
-P
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
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!
