Hi, with my XDA 2 if i press the center button on my D-Pad and the calender button (top right) it brings up the screen calibration screen, is there a way to disable this? as it keeps interupting my gameplay when i am using emulators or playing games.
Thanks in advance!
I've written the app VJCalibrula for this, but I think the released version is rom specific and may not work on your device. I've re-written it to hopefully support any of our devices, but that version is not being released immediately, but will be in the near future.

i tried the current version and it gives a ' 'vjcalibruawizard' is not a valid pocket pc application ' error.
Maybe there could be an option to disable the centre button on the d-pad while games are played. That could be a temporary solution.
Lol. it's wm5 only right now i guess. if you can decompile a rom, we can have a chat. otherwise point me towards a rom and if i get time i'll decompile it. but i'm under a bit of time pressure right now on other stuff.
And like i said, i've written a hopefully universal version to release some time.

Usually when a call comes and the phone is inside the pouch (good for protection), there are several ways of messing up by accepting or rejecting the call even b4 its completely out of the pouch as blelow:
On screen:
1) U can press the on screen message but which will send an auto sms to the caller and end the call
2) U can press the answer key
3) U can press the ignore key
Off screen (hardware)
4) U press the answer key
5) U can press the end key
Incredibly, all 5 options are simultaneously active. The screen can be locked by S2U2 etc. but I cannot find any option of locking the hardware keys.
Any help will be appreciated
Firstly thanks for Omnia i8000 support on XDA..
Now I feel secure..
Secondly even I'll lyk to disable my hardware keys for call ans/end..
is there a registry tweak or something we can do to disable it..
s2u2 has that option... go settings/phone and u have S2A Hard ans/end key...
Search 542482 - there's an app for that over in the Mobile Apps & Games forum
Solution found!!!!
The issue was really troubling me and I finally found a solution. Install a small program called Incall lock which locks the call & end key. But that will totally disable u from accepting calls under WM6.1. So install s2u2 and enable screen response and voila!! U have. Both these are available elsewhere in this lovely forum.
Note:- The whole process during inplementation is quite messy as u will first have to install .net compact & samsung SDK software (both freely available).
4 software to do a simple thing which should have been taken care of by the OS. That's life under our billy, the goat.
Hope this help. I would be glad to give something back to this site, i have greatly benefited from.
TouchLockPro works great.
(I can't post a link yet...search for it in the Omnia 2 section at Modaco).

I tried tpro but it did not work for me. I am using wm6.1 under samsung touchwiz. Cud it b because of that ?
TouchLockPro is the answer, however, if both touch screen and the keys are locked on all in-coming calls, how the hell do you answer the phone? First to unlock it then answer it? A bit troublesome.

See, even if no software was there u wud have to press a key or tap something to answer anyway. With S2U2 and incall lock, the only point of access is the slider (in my case) with which i can either accept or reject calls. So if i swipe to ans, the lock opens and i can straight away start talking. So there really is no extra step involved. Whereas, if I do not lock the key, I will have to be careful not to press the keys accidentally which is difficult as I often put it in my pocket and more so inside the pouch. I think the swipe to answer is the killer option.

Slide to Answer is great option to traditional Click to Answer, that is very true, however, that option has been adopted in 6.5 and some 3rd parties phone app as well, so if in i8000 case, the phone interface can be omitted and use the 6.5 or simply use those better and more feature phone apps

Well, as I said I hv 6.1 & 6.5 not yet available in my country. so...
Hi,
I installed Throttle Lock.. Nice lock... it has slide to answer..
secondly it does not interfere with the touch player, lyk s2u2 does..
Are you using Omnia II with WM6.1 ?
Because throttle lock is not saving the settings on my phone. And yes, I am clicking the "ok" button at the top right and getting a message "changes saved". And my slide to answer is ON but no slide is displayed. All I can see is the default lock screen which opens when I click on a button on screen but that certainly does not solve my problem. Using ver .07 (latest).
I have even registered myself. Hell, the config.xml file shows Calllock is on but its not even locking when the call comes. That should be the very basic default function. Sorry, back to s2u2.
I am using WinMo 6.1 original Rom...
I installed it on Storage memory.. and its workign fine.. It does interfere with the Samsund dialer when the call comes in... but I will try disabling the samsung dialer and check... back to your issue.. Try re-installing it.. and it should work.. iam able to save all my settings..
And when the call comes in My hardware keys are lock as well and I get option to Slide to Answer or reject..

Thanks. I unistalled S2u2 and installed again. Still no. Yet the program was working when I clicked on it. So, luckily having some working knowledge of windows, I found that the program is not putting a link in the start menu or start up folder. This I had to do manually. But thats unclean.
And what happens when a call comes is funny. There is a brief fight between the throttle default , the windows splash & the lock screen itself. Luckily, the lock screen is winning every time. But again unclean or is it the links I have placed.
Currenly, I have links to both thottlelock & throttlelockdemon in the startup & lockdemon in the start menu. How is it with u?
Also in the setting under samsung default setup, the options like lock mode & incoming are white on white. What are your current settings ?
Think this program was designed for HTC. But is definitly smaller and though not neat...working. Thanks
I have mapped it to a hardware key, so when I want to lock I press the hardware key..

Use incall lock for locking the keys when call comes. Works perfectly.
Tried the throttlelock for 2 days. Sometimes, the default wm screen was coming up and the look is messy. So more experiements......but till date s2u2+incall lock looks the cleanest. Will keep looking...

I'm using TouchLockPro. It's much faster and less memory consuming than S2U2 and it has multiple ways to unlock your phone!
In the newest version, you can unlock your phone by using the proximity sensor (and our Omnia II has one )
So if your phone wakes up in your pocket our pouch, it won't unlock, but if it wakes up in your hand or on your desk, it will unlock immediately!
Consequently, if you have an incoming call and the phone is in your pocket: It will remain locked until it's out of your pocket so you don't have to manually unlock before answering
I love it!

I hv omnia 2 with wm6.1. Tried touchlockpro and was absolutely useless. How is it possible ?
Can u plz put in the download link.. Iam sure its somewhere on XDA itself, but I am kinda lazy to search today.... I'll download it once I reach home..
Hey !!! I need unlock screens for windows mobile. is it possible that we collect all the links here! I'm looking for the nicest one. anyone can help me out ? im using windows mobile 6.1. I can't seem to find a nice unlock screen. pls help out thx
I'm by no means and expert, but a number of months back I did a big search for the best lock screen for me. After a lot of looking, I eventually stuck with the default lock screen in WM. The reason being that this was the only one that prevented holding down the red button from turning off the screen. I kept accidentally turning off my phone when it was in my holster. I did add a small program that automatically locks my TouchPro2 when I hit the power button.
The other two major contenders that I tried:
S2U2 = Slide to Unlock ver. 2. Great program... very customizable and lot of features. But as I mentioned, it wouldn't prevent the power off for my device.
ThrottleLock. Another nice program. Unlike the many slide to unlock, this one you have to "type" in a quick pattern that you set in order to unlock your phone. Gives you a bit of password protection along with making it easy to lock/unlock. Again, wouldn't prevent power for me.
use those alternatives, or use wm 6.5
Hello
I managed to upgrade my phone to Froyo 2.2 JPF fw using ODIN and the files supplyed in the upgrade thread / development forum.
Now my problem is that i can only "unlock" the blank screen only with the "home" button then i need to slide the screen.
Isnt there any setup to tell my phone to use all buttons ... give me a visible screen for all buttons or something like that ?
I fear that my "home" button will wear off

You can unlock the screen also with double-click of "back" and "menu" buttons
Yep true.
I somehow figured out that but thanks
The question now remains ... what can i do with my superoneclick 1.5.5 rooted froyo 2.2 upgraded lagfixv2 fixed phone (gps fix remains still) ?
Why is now my phone a better one then it was with the 2.1 ?
What apps are there to be installed that couldnt be installed without rooting ?
Anyone can give me some tips / tricks ?
Can i somehow change the way it feels/looks ?
I want something more easy to use / more fancy
I saw videos of cyanogenmod that looks a bit better
Also the white stripe on the top of the screen vs the black of the samsung is much much better looking ... Just give me some starting point on what to do with your rooted samsung galaxy 3
especially when connected to Power cable i would prefer when screen would be rotated by 180°.
Yes i know there is auto rotation but this does not concern the lock screen an also some apps are ignoring this feature. Also the home screen is set to 0° after unlocking.
I'seen in different threads, that it is possible in CM7 to flip the screen my default but it is allways mentioned to consult the rom developer and never sayed ho to do this.
can anyone help ?
are you talking about cm7 or stock rom ?
in stock you can lock the screen by tapping the status bar and select unlocked
this will not affect the lock screen but my launcher (go launcher)
i'm about cm7.
maybe ther might be settings for one or the other launcher but i want to flip the screen globally so that it affects every app including the lock screen.
edit: i assume this must be done by configuring the graphics driver
I agree. It would be nice to keep power button on top.

i think to remember that there is a setting for this in /system/build.prop
found:
ro.sf.hwrotation=270
where you change the 270 into either 180, 90, or 0....
!!! but use at your own risk !!!
yes thats it man.
but now i habe to find a way to rotate the touchscreen as well
you will have to rotate the touchscreen and the accelerometer as well
i think that will not be so easy because it's compiled or linked in the souce code
sorry ...
yes this seems to be hard coded and needs a patch. I've never built android from source so i will no gonna put my hands on.
could anybody please place this as a feature request to the developpers. I've no permission to post in the devs forum.
well, i've 9 posts. including this one it will be 10
