Guys, it appears, that in all 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) ROMs I've tried so far the option in the subject (Lock phone after) is missing. As a result, if you set a PIN or lock pattern, it is requested every time you lock your phone. The setting is available in HTC Sense ROMs.
This seems like a pretty basic security feature. Moreover, it is apparently present in Android since 2.2 (Froyo). Any idea why it's not in many ROMs? Is there a 2.3.2 ROM which has it?

bump - I'm interested as well, as this is one of the few things which hold me back from using gingerbread

very odd indeed. I do know its been included in every CM7 rom i've used in the past month. theres probably an app for it too. any reason you havent tried a cm7 rom?
CM7 or MccM HD v4.5.... these two ROM both have the patterns lock you want..
Give it a try.... You will fall in love with it...

To be honest I've just flashed my son's wildfire with a CM7 rom and it has it also, you're right...
It was a built-in feature in Windows (up until 6.5 - I don't know about 7) then HTC trasferred it to Android if Sense installed...

it's not the pattern lock we're after but the ability to delay the lock (3-5-10-15 minutes) after you switched off your phone - so when you switch it back on (within the set time) you do not have to unlock it
you can have a strong password but you don't have to apply it every time just when you leave it alone for a longer period of time
Wierd... The imilka Gingerbread with sense (in my signature) has got the option to set lock time to immediately, 3 min, 5 min or 10 min (Exchange ActiveSync-policy)
And yes, i use it as a daily build, and with Exchange at my work...

no it's not wierd - it's a htc sense rom so it has it (whether it's eclair, froyo or gb)
the only - big - problem with imilka's gb rom that it's quite experimental yet
I found it on CM7(7.0.2.1)!

That's not good enough. The option sets the timeout for lockscreen - the slider (or other obstacle) you need to move before you can access the main screen. It doesn't control the security lock separately from the lockscreen. Sense builds have this option, apparently they were modified from the original Android sources to support this.
In both the shiftpda boyppc rom and hyperdroid CM7 I have seen the option to pick how long it takes before the pin lock is activated. Its in the CM options on the settings screen.

Ironically, DramatikBeats is correct. Was wrong at the time but is correct now, provided a CM 7.1 build from 27 July 2011 or later is used. You can trust me about this because I know where I put the controls for the new feature (haha).

Can anyone confirm that this awesome little app will break your installs.
I installed it then locked the screen and It wouldnt come back on although i could hear sounds
I am using darkstone's froyo v1 with the 03 cotulla zimage.
thanks.
Reopened thread, OP believes this is not build specific let the dev discussion begin
Just looking for experience's with this app It is a paid App and I wouldnt want anyone to get stuck with it if it causes problems specific to our ports!
I'm the dev of WidgetLocker. I use it on Froyo on my Nexus One and on my Droid Incredible. However I don't have an HD2. I'd be surprised if it's causing this problem but I'm happy to support it/fix a bug if there is one. The current release does sometimes leave the system keyguard in a weird state.
hazard99, shoot me an email (or PM but include your email address) if you want to be a beta tester. I'm planning on releasing it in a day or two anyway, but it'd be nice to add an HD2 user to the beta team.
Will do I look forward to beta testing as a avid member of the hd2 Android community. I will email u in the am as it is 10: 00 pm here and I am at work. This is a great honor

hmm, I've got the Market-paid version of Widget Locker (was for my Milestone). Might give it a go on my darkstone-based froyo build on my Euro HD2 and see what happens.
EDIT: Just tested, could not replicate the issue described by hazard99. Only issue I had was that the standard froyo lockscreen would popup instead of the WidgetLocker lockscreen for the first few times I pressed a button to wake the phone, but afterwards that went away. Tested with both Easy Wake option enabled and disabled, version 1.0 of WidgetLocker. Default options (ie. unchecked) for everything else. I'm also using Darkstone v1 with 03/08 cotulla kernel.
I have no trouble using WidgetLocker on my HD2. Works exactly the same as on my Desire.

Hmm ill have to check again cause it went nuts with no image.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I just had the same experience - blank screen but the phone was responding.
Then I remembered that DroidExplorer on the PC has a tool called ScreenCast. Using it I was able to operate the phone and realise that WidgetLocker set the screen brightness to 0.. Strange that. Re-set it to auto and all is well now.
Maybe disable auto brightness if you got it on.
Regards Hieu.
Can one of you check if it's the brightness slider that sets the brightness to zero on the HD2? (I assume when trying to set it to dim). If this is the case I can increase the value for DIM when on the HD2.
With the first semi stable builds of android for our beloved cat i had no issues with STK (i need it to recharge my pay-as-you-go sub). In the last builds it's not working at all. I guess it's a package wich is not included in the builds available now. I'm a bit uncertain wether or not it worked with the Sense builds, but i've tried so many i've lost track. I'm now using mattc N1 stock Froyo (I think!) or at least a clean Froyo with a very fresh kernel.
Any thoughts out there?
I rarely make new threads, but hope i won't get flamed (since some members are generally quite hostile these days because of the noob-flood)

It really appears, and it is very useful!
any updates on this? I'm having the same problem, now with the Gingerbread release. I need the STK to switch my sim cards (Magic Sim 26th 3G cut adapter), I can get into the menu, but the menu itself doesn't work.
For example, when I press Sim2 (to switch to sim 2) I see the "busy symbol" (circle of dots), but nothing happens.
I tried the above tip, but still nothing..
Hi,
Sorry for opening a new thread about this one but it is like most of us with CM6 based build are having issue where in the wallpaper doesn't change or if it changes the lockerscreen is left out. I just saw this fix in a different forum.
What to do:
-go to CM settings>Performance settings>(tick) Lock home in memory

And I've tested it a couple of times. Maybe with some it will/will not work.
please delete or lock this thread. it doesnt make sense anymore.
the biggest problem i had with the XXJPM was the battery drain so i switched to XWJPF which i think is a recent release but i am not so sure. i did not have any issues with the GPS but the sound lag was there when the screen is on sleep mode.
i installed the fugumod kernel and set the minimum core speed to 333 so it does not fall below that. and never had any sound issues and sound was great too. u can also set the core to performance (OC 800 kernel version and the speed stays at 800 all the time) but that will drain your battery in no time. just my experience
i tried kyrillos and its an awesome ROM, the only con was that i could not change themes. i am yet to try the INDROID but as always i dont like a lot of apps in any custom ROM so i remove them. kyrillos only had a few but looks like indroid has a whole load of em
i'd like to see someone build a rom with the
original theme (but able to install themes)
basic apps
newer market
newer map app
deodexed
a2sd
lagfree
CWM recovery
5 lockscreen mod
and all the function that comes with building a custom rom
the rest can be achieved with a custom kernel i guess
this would be awesome!!!!
p.s. the dev's at xda are doing an awesome job keeping us happy, they deserve a lot more than thank you's and i believe we are here today coz the devs here are doing something extraodinary thant the devs at samsung.
you guys are the best of the best.
hmm, interesting, a found a lot of people have trouble about clicking sound when making conversation. OC is ok, but.. why do that, processor itself will work how it must, i mean, if overclock it will drain too much battery, if underclock it will be slow. i only expirienced delay problem when receiving incoming call, it's a little bit slow, but else is ok.
today i got official upgrade for my galaxy 3. it was jp9, 2.2, not 2.2.1. i have problems now with back button when in contacts and when unlocking the phone. i have to press back or menu key few times to turn on the screen, but home key works fine. strange thing.. why they put bugged version of froyo to official update over kies..

I agree with Clarkkov..I too have been using XXJPM for about 2 months now & there are no problems..the battery life is great..I easily get 3 days usage on a full charge. The 2 small issues I saw are:
1. Camera app. sometimes crashes.
2. Back button does not work in Contacts app., you have to click Home button to close it.
Does XXJPN resolve these issues..?

The camera thing is a known issue (there is also a fixed camera.apk without that problem in the apps section). It has to do with gps/location as it tries to geotag the pictures you take.
I also can't confirm the back-buttons issue. I've been running XXJPM for a while and back button works just fine! Try a wipe (or at least clear cache) and see if that makes a difference...

Are you using Launcher Pro?
If yes kill the Contacts app ,and add again the shortcut in your launcher by long-pressing the icon.
Now when you open the app it must work normally.

New kernel [LV 0.6.2] download it from here
Thanks go to erasmux and riemer for the kernel work
Hallo, this rom is really fast, light and very minimalistic and the best for me is that colorize widgets work with the stock launcher! In this configuration its superfast with all widgets i need.
But i have a problem with my signal. Everytime when i hold the hero in my hands, the signal drop down to zero. Its like the bug on Iphone 4g.
a second bug is when i chose the cyan theme, the signal bar switches between white and cyan all the time.
I tested it with the stock kernel of this rom and with las venturas 0.5.
Im on O2 Germany and i have the latest radio
I just remembered this thread. When I was using this rom (yesterday) the market wouldn't show certain apps, e.g. Tweet Deck, and Catch That Bus

The color thing is with every theme u use...i personally use the same theme because i like the color, but i don't experience the same problem with the network loss...you can have this problems because u use a 3G connection and if it runs out of signal it switches back to 2g and that not so bad for talking..but it's bad when using the internet...
If you don't use a data connection all the time to watch youtube or other things...switch to 2g and see after that
Keep me in touch if you have any other problems and i will try to help you
Stefan
Thanks for your reply!
When i switch to wifi i have the same problem that i lose the signal. So i think its not a problem of switching between 2g and 3g.
In the developing area, there was another guy who had the same problem.
Im now on Floyo1.4 the bug is gone
But i will come back to this rom because its so minimalistic as no other one and thats what i want!
Try this

i sometimes have the same problem... but the phone rings and stuff like that... i think it's sometimes from the thickness of my apartment walls... but outside i don't have any problems
test the phone: if you're in WiFi and the phone rings... If yes that means that the widget has a problem, if you can't be contacted then it means you loose signal
PS: do you keep your phone in a case (like a silicone one or things like ) to protect the phone?
My phone isnt in a case.
Im now on Floyo, but i will move back and test a little bit.
The main reason that i changed was that im searching for a new job and my phone has to work 100%. If a possible new Company want to call me and my phone doesnt work
i will give a feedback soon

Running Google Navigation the GPS looses lock after 10 minutes, have to restart application to get it lock again for about 10 more minutes.

0.5 seconds is almost ahead of time when being used to Hero...
For me it takes at least 10 seconds before the display is lit, very annoying. I am using SetCPU 352/614.
Nom is here for instance https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wsl.noom&feature=search_result
STHLM Traveling is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.markupartist.sthlmtraveling&feature=search_result
Both shows as not compatible with HTC Hero in Android market on the web too. But worked fine in Elelinux 7.3 v3.2 GB-ROM.
Is there some way to see exactly why they are not compatible?

Ok...google maps has the same problem...you got to search them on google as STHLM.apk download ; and you install them from the SD card, that is the sollution.
Ele mad a thing and tweaked something in a script and the market works with everything...but it's not so hard to google an app and put it on your sd card
and i recommend flashing the ROM again...maybe there is a problem, i still use the 1.2 version, kind of lazy to update))), ohh and set SetCpu with 691 max and 176 min and tell me if you still have the problem with the answering
Keep me in touch of you manage to resolve the problem,
