I noticed that I can't create shortcuts with drag and drop on home screens. I restart the device then I am able to do it, but after some time it will not work and I have to restart again. Anyone has the same problem?

I have a Kaiser, and there's nothing more irritating than accidentally bumping a button while having the phone in your pocket, then having random things in your pocket scroll through your address book until it calls someone. Or opens up IE and finds a high-bandwidth website. When you don't have a data plan.
Things like this hurt. I've been trying to find a solution to it, and I happened to stumble upon an olllllld application on another forum. It's called AutoLock. I found it Here.
Anyways, long story short, it uses the built-in Windows Mobile screen lock and turns it on whenever the phone's screen turns on. So hitting the power button is enough to lock your phone. It's super convenient, and for the most part, it's not too buggy.
I've been using this for probably over a month now. It's a lifesaver. I had the .exe on my SD card, and every time I reflashed, I had to make a new shortcut and place it into the startup folder. So tonight, I made a CAB file out of it.
I hope you guys get as much use out of it as I do.
A quick note: It runs in the background. Terminating it will not allow it to function. The CAB will add a shortcut to the startup folder, so a soft reset will start it. Otherwise you can start it from the shortcut in the Programs folder.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is there a way to disable the program window that pops up after a soft-reset?
A: There is no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
Q: When receiving a call, does the answer button and screen stay locked?
A: The answer button and the screen both unlock when the phone is ringing. If the call is answered/ignored/stops ringing, the screen will be re-locked.
Q: Will it work with my phone?
A: This program has been confirmed to work on a few models. I believe that it should work on pretty much any touchscreen device running Windows Mobile. Please, try it and tell me if it works!
Tested Phones:
Kaiser (ATT Tilt)
Touch Pro (Fuze)
Xperia

this is a very usefull program.is there anyway to disable message screen when program start after softreset?thanks a lot in advance
It's unfortunate that I didn't create this program. I only found it through about six months of searching on the internet. Maybe a friendly XDA-Developer could write a similar program and keep it updated with new features!
As far as I know, there's no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
As for if it works on a Diamond... go try it and tell me how it works!
Awesome program! Thanks
Looks interesting. Thx for sharing!

So what happens when a call comes? Does it lock the answer button too? And the screen?

Since it's the inbuilt Windows Mobile locking setup, when a call comes in, the phone is still locked, but the answer skin floats above the lock. So the screen "unlocks" so you can answer or reject the call, but it locks as soon as you answer or ignore it again.
I've discovered, using my Jade, that you can do the same thing by just setting the built-in Windows Mobile device lock to 0 minutes... You'd need to provide a password, though...
First press of the power button puts the phone to sleep... Press it again, it will ask for your password to unlock...
I have problem with my Touch Dual. When I start the phone I get the alignment screen I press the cross and it moves to next corner. But when all is done it starts again I cant came thru this screen.
If I press Windows buttom I get the start menu but when I select one of them the phone goes back to welcome menu.
I have tried with hard rest with no success. I have search in this forum but I cant find any similar faults. Any hints please.

I have the same "issue" with Insomnia ROM.
Installed it and the alignment restarted itself.
I tried it 5-6 times then it closes. Same thing happens when Screen alignment is launched from the system tools.
Did you try to do it quite often? (more than 6 times in a row)

thanks very very much very helpfull program now i can use my htc
My lock screen was working fine (I would press the red button and it would lock it... same as stock)...then I accidentally installed dinik lock screen and uninstalled it,..now my HD2 does this - when I press the red button it locks it, but its not the lock screen anymore -it shows the last screen I had open and it says "unlock" on the bottom left...now the problem is when I press any button (even on accident) it unlocks it -leaving me calling and pressing things I dont even know about while the phone is in my pocket...
anyone else with this issue? any know how I can get it back to how it used to be without any dramatic changes (such as re installing the rom, hard reset etc...?
edit: I reinstalled the dinik lockscreen and it works...but I miss the stock lockscreen, maybe I will try looking for the stock lockscreen cab file to see if that works....but I dont understand -it must have uninstalled it automatically when I first installed the dinik lockscreen.
Check to see if \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceKeyLock and DeviceLockWhenSuspend are set to 1 in the registry.

I uninstalled S2U2 and now mine is missing as well.

Yes they both are set to 1.
Please elaborate this for me...
I wanted to get rid of the lock functionality, so I set them to 0. I hoped yours had gotten switched, but having 1 is correct. So its another issue.

yea ive seen this. annoying, cos as you noted any hard button unlocks it.
Happened to me when i was messing with the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr file, guess it got corrupted.
Heres an original. unzip it, drop it in windows/lockscreen and soft reset.

I cannot find this directory ? Nevermind sorry, I found it through my phone, but from my PC's side I could not find it.... ?
on the pc you need to open file manager click tools folder optionssecond tab (not at a pc so can't say exactly what it says) and tick show hidden files and folders, un tick hide file extensions, tick show projected operating system files.apply, and choose apply to all folders. now you will see everything.
to be honest its really slow browsing the phones windows folder from the pc. I just copy to sd card then move it from the phone.
Hello,
I installed yesterday AmeriCanDroid on sd. It is a really good build.
I'm having only one problem: yesterday everything was perfect, but today I'm unable to add and remove widget form home by tapping on the screen. I can't also move the widget that are already on the home.
To add them, I have to click o tne "function" button and then click "add". Can't find a way to remove or move them.
Can you help me?
Thank you
Ehm... sorry... it was my fault... Solved.
