Disable Devicelock on the menu
Hello I would like to activate the screen lock on my HD2 after 20 seconds, and I want to disable this menu item, because I do'nt want that the user can disable this in the menu.
Have someone a idee, how I can make this?

Put "Hide"=1 as a dword in the control panel registry key for the device lock.
How come you don't want users to be able to disable it? That kind of sucks for the user, doesn't it?

Is there a way to change the behavior of the Start Menu Button? Basically i'd rather have it simply show the today screen rather than the actual menu. Alternatively i'd even prefer that it ignore the press and not show the menu. With many of us already having application launchers on the today screen, the start menu is redundant.
I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate for this forum.
To avoid not being able to access the start menu at all, you could enable it with a long key press of the start menu button.
Tap = return to Today Screen
Hold = show Start Menu
This would seem like a nice thing to have. Is such a thing possible? Perhaps with Mortscript?
What PDA do you have?
If you have a PDA/phone you just do a single press of the "hang up" button?
WM itself doesn't allow to change the start menu action. However, it's possible to put another app on top, like WisBar Advance, SKMenu, and similar tools do. But I don't know of any free and lightwight app which only replaces the start menu button.

I agree! Have searched this for a long time, but it seems it can't be done.
I would love if Visual Task Manager started when i press the windows icon.
Please return if you find a application to replace the start menu button. Thanks, i offer a kiss in payment
This program will do it. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gspocketmagic-v1-32-19.html
Just that the icon becomes so ugly but i think it's worth it

Haven't tried this, but I believe if you install Smartlock you can then select which lock you want to use. Simply open smartlock and select S2U2
Thanks, But that doesnt work. I dont have s2u2 to choose.
Any other solution?
You shouldn't have to replace the wm lockscreen in order to use S2U2. I'm running S2U2. Do you have the WM lockscreen to enable at power off? What are your settings for the lockscreen that have it interfering with S2U2? Unless you have tweaked the registry or installed a program to enable the WM lockscreen at power off or you are tapping the lock soft button in the programs menu, the lockscreen shouldn't be activating. In other words, you should be able to install S2U2 and run it without wm lockscreen interfering.
I only want to open s2u2 when i press on the "lock" button in start menu. Autolock is perfect with s2u2.

I want the same too.
I know there's a way in the Registry to map the "Lock" softkey in Start Menu to activate S2U2 instead of WM6.5 Lock, but don't know which is the trick.
Does somebody know which is the Registry Key for this ? I'm searching 1 during week about this !
Hi guys
Me too ... I want
Spent a couple of hours on several websites to find the trick ... nothing !
I have also opened a thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551185
Don't understand why you would want this? Why not just install S2U2 and use its features? i.e. when you press the power button it will lock the device using S2U2, or when it times out (after a set amount of time) it will lock using S2U2??
If all you want is the 'lock' command on the start menu to use S2U2 rather than the standard windows lockscreen, it makes no sense as pressing the power button is far faster at locking in S2U2 compared to going start --> lock.
Unlock
Hi guys,,,
I have a problem unlocking the keypads in the start menu after I accidentally press the lock softkeys in start menu,,,, in wm6.5
Is there anyway to make a shortcut to "lock" in Start --> lock ? No app works fine for me, so I have to do it manualy. Thanks
Several options:
1. Set your long press end-key to map to lock.
2. If you use WinMo 6.5, the left soft key in the start menu is for lock.
3. Try this.
I got another question... is there anyway to change START --> LOCK to a different program?
I use S2U2 and I would like to have the LOCK soft key after going into the Start Menu to point to S2U2 instead of the default lock application.

Tap the power button, it locks. Works great. I hated this phone until I got that app, because I kept calling people for no reason.

i just edited a registry setting for it to automatically lock when i hit the suspend button.
Hello. I was trying to disable Auto Screen Lock on that way
27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But there is no such reg entry Is there any other way to disable that function?
create the entry my friend. i.e. new......dword.....name it DeviceLockWhenSuspend nd set value to 0. restart. done
Thanks man. Now it's working
But there is still the problem with double locking if you press "end call" button when using s2u2. Anyone has a solution for that?
I have done a lot of searching and found numerous ways to disable the double-Menu press from bypassing the slide screen.
What I want to know is...how can I disable the Menu button from waking up the phone in the first place?? Is it possible?
Thanks!

Yes but you must be rooted to do it.

I am rooted. I have seen that post and it only mentions the following:
EDIT 3: I have also modified the HtcLockScreen apk to disable the 'Menu' key for unlocking the screen

Please note that I am already running this "fix". It does solve the menu button unlocking the screen BUT it does NOT prevent the screen from coming on when the menu button is pressed, which is what I am looking for.
