Is there any way to have the device auto lock once it goes into sleep mode so that i have to unlock it when i wake it up?
how about searching first? http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
if you did, you would find a ton of info, like changing the registry setting for that, or using advanced config / diamondtweaks to do that or using a program like sensorlock...
I did search before posting this, however, it was only in the diamond section - dont know what i was thinking
Am a newbie to WM, but already have advanced config (and i did look in there but evidentally not hard enough) - found it now, so thanks for the input tuem.
I will search the full forum in future.
For reference, if anyone wants this, its in Advanced Configuration Tool under Screen >> Auto Device Lock
sensor lock
I think i know what you mean. try sensorlock. what this will do is lock your device as soon as it goes to standby or the screen is locked. hope this helps.

Hi, the Diamond returns itself to the Today Screen (with the huge clock) every time the device locks itself. I did the registry hack "AutoDeviceLockEnable" to lock itself after it goes to standby (40 sec.). This also happens when LONG pressing the right phone button.
I like to stay in my apps after switching the device off.
I have NO PASSWORD policy on the device (I know there are other articles which claim password policy is the reason)
Is this Windows 6.0/6.1 generic or a "special feature" in co with the TouchFlo interface?
Maybe someone knows a reg-key to turn that off.
Would be a great help!
Yours B.
Untick the today timeout in settings > today.
??? This setting is to return to today screen after 4 hours of usage, that doesn't help!
pushing it up, can't believe no one has an idea!?
Annoying for me too. The other day I was editing some settings, left the phone for 30s so it locked and went to the today screen which messed my TFL3D for a little while.
Anybody have a solution please?
Has this been solved yet.
As I want to put device on lock with the application in use screen still displayed
still nothing?
This is standard WM behaviour, it returns to the Today screen upon locking. In my opinion, your options are (1) use a different lock or (2) use a task manager to easily switch back to the required program.
I don't use TF3D so it's easy for me to select the required program using a simple task manager at the top of the today screen. I use DevState 1.5, configured to show just a row of big task icons. This works really well in combination with SPB Pocket Plus, like so:

You can try TouchLockPro
This is special made for locking/unlocking with an running application active.
Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been posted already but I can't seem to find it through search.
Is there a tweak where the backlight can come on when your trying to unlock the phone, it's a tad dark and if the light is bad it's impossible.
Cheers
Mark
Look at Diamond tweaks or config programs, from memory one of them allows you to set the backlight to full on when unlocking
had the same problem. the solution is simple
uncheck at backlight settings: dim the backlight if the device is locked
the backight will come on on lowlevel when you activatethe phone. you know you have to press the unlock in leftbottom corner. when pressed the light comes on full to press the second unlock in the middleof the screen.
regards W
I think they are referring to password locked. The screen starts dim and stays that way till unlocked. In bright sunlight you cannot see the numbers to enter the unlock code to unlock the device
I've found the Backlight Lockout setting in one of the config tools, it works perfectly until I soft reset. Any ideas how to get it to stay put?
In registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight
DimBKLinUnlockScreen set to 0
Or use the cab i created.
THANK YOU!!! Adding this value to reg was exactly what the Dr ordered!! Much much appreciated Surf!
bookmarked and b back l8er,i need more info,
Hi all
I've had a look around the forums, and i cant seem to find a definitive answer to what im looking for, and im certain ive seen it in a rom somewhere
what im looking for is the following:
A program which allows me to change the orientation of the screen by means of a start menu shortcut (not the one which normally be in the settings -> screen -> orientation, that menu seems to be missing on my rom)
does anyone know of a program (preferably free), that is small, and lightweight that can do this?
many thanks
Search for Gsen or Gyrator in forum.
ive done the searches, ive used gsen/gyrator, those are automatic screen rotators which change the orientation of the screen using the inbuilt accelorometer
i am looking for someting which i can use to manually change the orientation of the screen, a bit like the orientation switcher which was built into the screen settings menu
nobody?
surely someone must know of a program that can do this
ScreenRotator
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Saerch for the freeware ScreenRotator.net at this site.
QuickMenu has that feature which will replace your Start Menu. you can do that by tapping an menu item then.
Unless I misunderstand, install AEbutton and map one of your buttons to screen orientation.
Hey Stix,
To enable the screen rotation icon from the Settings>Screen menu, edit the registry: "HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" and change the value to 0. Go to the Screen page and you'll see the Portrait/Landscape option.
After enabling the screen rotation option, you can map the talk button to rotate the screen with a long press. Start>Settings>Buttons; just look for the <Rotate Screen> option from the pull down menu.
You don't have to go to the Start menu, doesn't use resources (I'm guessing) and it's free!
Hope this helps.
TF3D doesn't rotate even when you select the <Rotate Screen> option (unless the keyboard is popped out, obviously). Only applications and the Windows menus will rotate if you manually rotate the screen.
thank you very much my good man!
this is perfect, i use my raphael to read a lot of pdf's and docs, and i recently discovered documents to go which does everything i want except change the orientation!
many thanks asdfjklqwerty!
I use this, AAHRotate0-90.CAB or AAHRotate0-270.CAB on my Touch Pro.

I just searched for these cabs. I can only find them on a Chinese website which I can't read. It requires login to download the files. Does anyone have these cabs and could they be posted please.
Thanks

Hi,
you can try this attached cab. Hope it's what you're looking for.
P.S. Cab file extracted from ROMeOS v1.95.4.
Excellent! Works like a charm on my HTC Vox. I know this forum is for Touch Pro, but since I found the software here...

I do it with AE Button, but if you have SK Tools, these shortcuts will also do it (use the shortcut manager if you want; these probably work with the free version, too):
Code:
Portrait:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_P
Landscape:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_L
I am currently running itje's wm 6.5 rom. I wanted to know if there was a .cab or registry tweak avaliable for using the WM lock screen when the phone wakes.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Hi matey
you dont need a cab
heres what you do
go into settings > Lock
tick where it says promt if the phone is not used for >> and change that to 0 minutes
then set ur self a 4 digi pin
now when either u press the power button to wake ur phone it will take you to the locked screen.
how ever when you slide the lock you will be promted by for the 4 digi pin you setup.
Sorry mate if you wanted it to lock but not promt you for a pin- i dont belive you can do that with the default options on WM.
good luck in finding another solution if the above does not help keep this thread updated, others may find it usefull

hm... I had this on my own rom.
I mean that I turn on the Screen and the Lock Screen appears.
I think that was luck because now that you've asked that I realize, that I've never heard this before.
Think there will be a Solution in the Registry.
1. Anyone knows how to setup auto lock on X1 when screen turned off (in standby)?
2. Is it possible to setup incoming call not to unlock but to let me have the ability to unlock and then take the call ?
There are several apps on the development and hacking section of the forum for autolock.
I use SmartLock 1.7E with WM6.5 and it's perfect. As soon as you press the power button to turn off the screen, the phone gets locked. I only check the option "Standby lock" for this. Don't know about keeping the lock while the phone is ringing, but there are a few options, you can try that. I have the Rhodium dialer so it has slide to answer...
Search for it, it's on this forum somewhere.
