On my old Hermes, with VJay's lock app, when i put the device to sleep (short press the pwr button or left to time out to sleep), when i woke the device all the apps would be minimised. When i first had this it annoyed me! but now on my Kieser i miss it!
I have a task manager so i can easily open the "old" running tasks if required, but like the today screen when i wake my phone.
I now use S2U2 as a lock.
Is there a way to minimise all apps on sleep or wake in either WM6 or S2U2, or a seperate app which will help me?
Thanks for the info

Is it possible to remap my voice-dial button to use as a device lock button?
Or any other way (without using extra programs) to achieve this?
yes it is, check out the thread named "Yet another device lock application" or search for amstrong, he made such an app. It calls the device lock today-plug-in, but you can disable the plug-in from the today screen and the app will continue to work. I use AEBPlus to bind it to my comm manager button, double clicking the button will lock the device. Binding it to your voice dial button is also possible with AEBPlus. I'll attach both files here.
Great stuff Koksie.
Thanks a lot!
One thing I discovered, instead of AEBplus you can also use the "buttons" option in the settings to map Device Lock to a hardware button.
Yes, you can of course do it that way, but then you loose the original functionality of that button. With AEBPlus I just bind the devicelock to a double click on my Comm manager button. One click still brings up the original Comm Manager. In this way I can bind apps to buttons and still leave the original button set-up as it came out of the box.
That's true, but I never use VoiceDialing so it's no problem for me
What is different with Device Lock on Today?And how to turn off backlight except Power button?It's mean like Nokia.When you in key lock mode,you can't turn on backlight excep press unlock keypad.
the basic function is the same as the today plug-in. By using this app, you don't have to use the touch screen to lock your device and you can remove the plug-in from your today screen, thereby freeing up space on the screen.
I don't really understand your other question. If you mean that you want the backlight off untill you unlock the device, that is not possible with this app, since to unlock you need the touchscreen and therefore the backlight comes on.

Is there a way to use it to unlock as well? I'd like to use the button to lock and unlock without touching the device
These two programs have been killing me lately. The biggest problem (and the one I didnt see anything on when I searched) is with S2U2. My problem is that pressing the end key on my Verizon Touch Pro seems to stop S2U2 and puts me on the home screen. This is a problem because I installed S2U2 so that I wouldnt accidentally call people when the phone is in my pocket. The only reason I posted this is because I accidentally called someone today because of this problem. Is there any fix that will stop S2U2 from ending when the end key is accidentally pressed? Right now I am locking the keys using windows built in key lock and then using S2U2. This takes much more time than just pressing the power button and letting S2U2 kick in when it wakes up. If I could get the built in keylock to kick in on wakeup also or if I could get S2U2 to not respond to the end key, my problem would be fixed.
My second problem is with HTC's Task Manager in the top righthand corner of touchflo. Every once and awhile it will just disappear. I searched for this and came up with a couple of solutions that didnt work. I tried checking and unchecking the box in the buttons section that says "Enable quick menu on today screen." The only way to get it to reappear is to do a soft reset. Thats really frustrating. So is there any real fix for that? If not, what would you suggest for a replacement task manager that blends in with touchflo? I really just want something simple like HTC's task manager where it shows my tasks in a drop down and I can exit out of each one just like I do now. I really like how HTC's task manager is setup, but I cant deal with it disappearing.
Hi, im quite new to the Touch Diamond Pro. Is there a program that displays on the main screen a button to lock the Touch pro (Raphael) ?
I found some programs to turn and it locks, to take out the styles and put it back in it locks, but nowhere a simple program that had a button (for instance next to the time...) that displays a lock icon, wich is pressed and the Diamond is locked.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks
The default Windows Mobile home screen(Today screen with TF3D turned OFF) has an option for this under Settings>Today>Items.
Don't know about similar option/program when TF3D is ON.
Hold the end key for 3 seconds and you should get a menu including a lock option. You can set this program to automatically lock without showing the menu.
The program that makes this work is Windows\Endkey.exe so you can assign this program to your left soft key for quick access.
Since updating to FroYo I keep thinking my phone is broken because it won't wake up, but then I realize I have to wake via power button now...
any root apps to re-enable this until CM6 is out?
there's menu unlock by teamdouche; it uses the menu button instead of trackball to unlock, but you still need to press the power button to wake the phone
Hmm, sorta pointless for me. I can deal with slide to unlock, I just hate power to wake.
I'd like the same ... it's annoying to have to go back to using the power button.
Anyone?
Isn't it possible to just extract the function from a recent CM build and make a installable package to use until CM 6?
Need trackball wake!
I find myself pressing the trackball multiple times before realizing I have to use the power button again . Pressing that power button sucks when you have a gel case. Trackball wake is needed!
i wish to have it as well. froyo doesn't bring it .
Until it is effectively ported, you guys are welcome to using a lockscreen replacement.
Just discovered a way to have trackball wakeup on the N1 running fro-yo!
Install an app called screen mode and set it on your home screen as a widget. Switch to Awake stay mode and voila! Trackball wake up! I tried tinkering with it and if you set it to regular mode the trackball wake up won't work. Have been using this app for a long time now and never realized that it does this lol.

Well it works. It doesn't turn the screen back off but I assume that people just want the wakeup feature.
What does awake stay mode do?

Awesome. Works, but yes what is stay awake mode? Does is not sleep meaning using battery?
It's a good app but I preffer the slide to unlock protection after trackball press instead of jumping directly to the menu. Pressing volume or trackball buttons by error will open the screen.
I think we don't have other solutions than wait for an Enom or CM roms
Keyguard Disabler works perfect on 2.2. Once installed goto shortcuts and set it to "disable".

I think Google needs to release the source code for 2.2 before this is possible.
Any updates?
Use "No Lock" (free in market) in combination with "FlyScreen" (free on market).
Wakes phone with trackball and brings you to a customizable lock screen that looks almost like the stock 2.1 lock screen. I'm using this and love it.
Hey,
somebody know an app when you press the button on home screen device is going standby and next time waking up with fingerprint or iris or face recognition still work? Same function the hardware power button does.
Thanks
I an using Nova Launcher and set a gesture for screen off. Perhaps you want to try that as well.
Or you can use greenify and set swiping up of an ICON (mine is app drawer) to go to hibernate and sleep
