Hi folks,
Just wondering if one of the experts can tell me, in the Kaiser rom, what is the actual file that gets executed when you tap on the little padlock on the Today screen, which in turn locks the phone? Not sure if it's even an executable or not, but I'm trying to link an icon to the function in a new skin.
Thanks.
No one knows? I guess I'm not surprised being that I browsed pretty much the entire contents of the phone and didn't see anything.
Mike Channon? You are THE MAN with this stuff... any idea?
keylock.exe
Hidden under Windows Dir keylock.exe
The following command line parameters exist for the backend of Automatic Keylock, Keylock.exe:
/off
This command line switch shuts down Automatic Keylock completely without altering the settings. To enable it again, call Keylock.exe without parameters.
/toggle
This parameter toggles Automatic Keylock between on and off state.
/reload
If Keylock.exe is called with this parameter, the settings are reloaded from registry.

I have tried searching for the answer to this so please do not ridicule me if i missed it!
Is there a way of stopping the screen from being so dim when i press the power button to wake up device if it is locked.
I always lock the device when i am not using it and will quite often press the power button quickly to turn off the display. When i come to use the phone etc i press the power button to get the screen back then press unlock at the bottom of the screen then the unlock half way up the screen, phone unlocked. BUT when the power button is pressed to turn the screen on and the phone is still locked the screen is so dim i cannot see it in bright daylight. Is there a way of making the screen brighter so i can unlock it?
David
simple answer YES!
The registry key here controls the backlight lock level:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
There REG_DWORD Key called LockLevel can be set between 0-10 (0=0%, 10=100% locklevel backlight brightness)
The system defaults this setting to 0, hence the dim lock display.
I have found however that the value does not stick after a soft reset/reboot, and goes back to default, so i have set a startup .lnk file that runs a reg script to set this value silently on boot for me.... you can do this yourself using the latest taskmanager 2.9 from here: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm (/silent command line parameter was only added in v2.9 so i can run a reg script without the prompts!)
I like to have a bright pin/unlock screen as i like to use the screen as a torch/light by just pressing the power button!!
Enjoy.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the answer to that. I too have been having the same problem, and it has bugged the hell out of me, especially on those bright summer days .
Thanks heaps for that!!!
Sorry for the delay, but many thanks for the answer! Damned annoying that was.
Regards
David
How do i make this .lnk file? What should it say? Where do i put it? etc etc. Sorry for the question but not done any of this before. The reg edit was easy enough but now i am lost.

I also would like to do this, but havent figured out how to create a command line with TaskMgr that will execute at startup - would you share how it is done?
Also, when I set locklevel to any number other than 1, no dimming occurs when I lock my Tilt. I experimented because I thought I'd like a little dimming but not as much as the default - but it seems like it's all or nothing.
I hate the way the Kaiser and/or WM6 insists on spoonfeeding some settings to us, no matter how much we would like to permanently alter them!

BUMP - Anyone know how and what to do to make this .lnk file and then how to use it?
David
strange thing. When I adjust this value it messes with my backlight timeout. I normally have this set to 30secs, i.e. the screen goes dimmer after 30 secs. When I adjust the lockout value as described it goes dim after 5-10 seconds. am I doing this right? I wasn't sure if I had adjusted the value correctly.

I have searched all over can someone tell me how to get the \silent to work I have taskmanager v2.9 spent the last 2 hours trying to get this to work please give a bother some help
I think the answer is here...well, not an answer but at least an app that claims to do what you're looking for.
This answer may be too basic, but have you tried changing the registry edit and then NOT doing a soft reset, but instead doing a full power off/on? Some registry entries WON'T stick with a soft-reset, but will with a power cycle. The power cycle gives the OS a heads up that it's being turned off and writes things more permanently...

I always power cycle after a reg change (It forces a registry write and a SR doesn't) but it doesn't matter...this reg change doesn't stick after a power cycle for some reason.
EDIT:
BTW, I loaded BrightLock and it works perfectly.
Excellent seems to do what i needed!!! Cheers

I am experiencing a similar issue. My normal backlight on battery power is set to 1 minute, but after installing brightlock, it keeps changing to 10 seconds. I really like what brightlock does for me, but not at the cost of dimming the screen when I am trying to read something. Is there a configuration I am missing?
I think I got rid of this annoying “dim” problem without .lnk file and scripting.
See my next post.
Is there a way of stopping the screen from being so dim when i press the power button
I think I got rid of this annoying “dim” problem without .lnk file and scripting.
What I did is the following:
1. Downloaded and installed Taskmanager 2.9 from: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
2. Opened Taskmanager and went to Regedit
3. Deleted LockLevel folder from HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
4. Saved
5. Rebooted the phone.
After rebooting, system recreates LockLevel folder, however, “dim” problem is gone.
Unit still dims the screen, but pressing any key triggers the bright display.
Suggestion: Export registry and backup your device before playing with Regedit.
can some one please re-post brightlock? mediafire link seems to be done and this is doing me nutter
Today, I noticed that my remapped PTT button was no longer remapped and I got that annoying message if I want to use PTT. I had it mapped to Vibraswitch and then voice recorder for holding. I looked at my registry settings and they were back to default. And the PTT key was recreated in services/ptt. I redid the settings then soft reset. When I turned it on my changes were once again taken off. Any one else have this issue?

I believe there are some registry changes that get automatically written when doing a soft or hard reset. There are some provxml files that based on their name automatically set certain reg entries. I'm not 100% sure how these work, but it might be your issue.
I would suggest writing a mortscript or something similar to run on startup, that time every time you reboot the script will change the entries back.
I don't know what is this happen! I already install 'Diamond TF3D Config Setup V0.67 & Schaps Advanced Config with Boinger66.
After change setting with advanced config click 'save'. After diamond auto reboot, the color of softkey bar will change from 'black' to 'gray'!
I'm using new rom of RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_1.93.832.2. Version is 5.2.19965 (build 19965.1.2.3)
Anyone can help me? It's always ouccr! Even I hard reset re-install again! My last installation without 'advanced config'
Same thing happens to me with original ROM. It happens after I use the theme feature
are you install mapking ?
Solved the problem but do not know what other effect done to my Touch Pro.
Go to Startup folder in Windows and delete PKG.lnk
Hello.
I got this problem recently and searched for the solution for weeks.. what i did to remedy this was:-
1)Install Dinarsoft Memmaid (u can use any other windows startup manager)
2)In the startup manager, i disabled all items that can be disabled.
3)Soft reset phone.
after the soft reset, i got back my flat black soft key bar. I now have only the things i needed to startup windows, and leave the others disabled. You can try enabling each item 1 by 1 and soft reset, to determine which item is the culprit that is causing this symptom.
I hope this helps someone.
How do I get the flip back? Something happened with something I uninstalled. But now I can't seem to get the phone to mute ringing when I turn it over. Is there a registry that needs to be changed back that the uninstall of the program didn't do? Please help since I keep my phone on in meetings and my family needs to be able to reach me all the time.
Hiya,
You could try checking the following in registry:
Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to "1"
See if this helps.
Cheers,
D.
there's a second value as well. Here's something on it step by step: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=903
