Is there any other program out there besides throttlelock? The only real complaint I have with throttlelock is the lack of diagonal pattern support.

Thats a pretty poor complaint considering the amount of combinations you can have on ThrottleLock lol AND its free

Fantastic program mate
Only thing I have noticed is that when I get an incoming call (im using HDIII with the opal dialer) the caller id screen from the dialer pops up instead of the throttlelock incoming call screen. It looks like your screen is in the background but the opal screen is ontop of it. Any ideas how to be able to toggle your incoming call screen on/off so that its either ontop of the opal dialer or off completely??

Thanks!
That's something I'm working on right now . The replacement is done but there are some collateral issues that need to be fixed .... I'll also add the option to unlock on call... but that's a security leak...

Looks great cant wait for the new version to come out. I love the bigger clock on the lock screen. I just use a black background to keep prying eyes away . Not so sure about the option to unlock on a call for a security program it would leave the phone wide open lol. Thats just my opinion but I would leave that out unless its been requested alot. Nice work I always put it on my phone after I flash a new rom. Wish I could write programs like that

It just gets better and better!! Hey, I just thought of a nice feature for maybe 0.6...I just don't know how to explain it very well. Your pattern doesn't have to use adjacent dots? Does that make sense? For example, in a 3x3 grid, the top left dot can connect to the bottom middle or even the middle right dot. Its just an idea I had, let me know what you think.
Can this be run with S2U2? What would be cool would be if the S2U2 app ran and once you slid to unlock you had to do the pattern unlock. So basically S2U2 is used for style and interface and the pattern unlock is used for security.

I'm not to sure. Give it a try! If it doesn't work, then just uninstall it. Let us know how it goes.
It is alright. I have to enable Throttlelock explicitly and then S2U2 is enabled on when my phone powers off. Then I had to unlock with Throttlelock before S2U2 which is reverse of what I prefer.

Sounds like alot of work to get your phone unlocked lol. Plus ThrottleLock is fully skinnable so you can make it look great with any background you want. Its better than S2U2 in my opinion.

Everytime I switch on my phone, the keypad locks up. I have to press the "Unlock" menu on the bottom left of the screen and then hit unlock again. I find this to be annoying. Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks a million.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> TODAY -> ITEMS and uncheck "Device Lock" I believe if you don't have it as an item on your today screen, it won't boot up. However, don't take my word for it 100% , I never had this problem.

I ran into this same problem i was about to do something unholy to it! So yes check the battery status plug in..LOL
I use S2U2 for a keyboard lock.. It's nice and pretty, and has some nice previews of upcoming appointments, etc, but it's pretty heavy on ram. But I haven't seen anything as quick to unlock.
CSDEVCTRL by chrisstavrou is a great locking program. It is excellent for in-call locking and temporary unlocking during the call. It locks ALL buttons during a call, unlike many other lockers, so that when you're on a call and your phone is in your holster or pocket, it doesn't hang up by accident.
It has three different ways to unlock the screen: a tapping sequence, slide-to-unlock, and a button sequence. The slide and tap features can also be set to do up to four different things, such as slide-to-unlock, slide-to-hang-up, slide-to-open-speaker, slide-to-go-to-today.
It also offers many small bonuses, like a simple call blocker, bluetooth tweaks, backlight tweaks, and carrier name tweaks.

It's not like S2U2 in the sense that it doesn't have any sort of screen saver or visible skin. When I look at my phone, I see the same thing whether or not it is locked (I use SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, so I see the "Now" screen.)
Just go to the link I posted earlier, and you'll find all the info there!
You have to try those to believe how good the Winterface application is. I saw the review on Tiltsite.com today, downloaded it and immediately loved it. It is extremely finger friendly, the interface is very intuitive and beautifully designed. It also uses minimum amount of system resource thus is very efficient.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Their FunContacts is also a gem to have. Extremly finger friendly, smooth scrolling of the contact list like the iPhone. It absolutely replaces the old school "stylus-required" contact application included in WM6.1.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/contact-manager.html
I've also tried their Zoomboard application, I think it's a good concept, however there is room for improvement. It is still quite slow to type on the Zoomboard application. However the accuracy of the text is improved dramatically because of the zoomed in text let you see what you've pressed on the screen. But it still can't beat Kaiser/Tilt's excellent keyboard for typing.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/onscreen-keyboard.html
Enough said, I strongly encourage people to try it out. It will be a investment well spend. They also have a whole lot of other nicely designed applications on their webpage, check them out too.

seems like alot to spend on a couple of good apps that already exist freely...iContact, HTC album (for the photo thing) and even the (Samsung Glyde copy) button interface all exist free of charge. I'd have to see better to be convinced to put down $40 for 2 apps.
how do you install over an existing GUI... today screen , start menu, taskbar, etc???..
does it wipe them all out?
can you go back easily?

You slide your finger in an arc to enable the interface from your home screen or anywhere else. You can click okay button and easily go back to normal interface if you choose to do so.
When phone is unlocked in Winterface, you can "slide to unlock" the phone with a touch of a finger.
I installed this over Garmin's DK1 WM6.1 cooked rom, so far everything works smooth as silk. Garmin's DK1 includes HTC Home v2.0.1812282.1 that I enabled in my home screen. This app run dependent of HTC Home plugin so there is no problems that I found.
In my opinion this app totally replaces HTC Home just because it is much more intuitive (it displays # of new message you got or # of missed calls you have and stuff like that). Couple finger movement after you can reach almost any application on the phone.
I don't work for this company or anything... Just think it's a really cool app to try.
And after couple hours of useage, here is a little short list of pros and rooms for improvement:
Pro -
Extremly finger friendly, smooth flow, elegant design layout.
Low memory useage, fast start up anywhere in the OS.
Very intuitive interface, texts under icons are extremely useful, compare to some other apps who only incorporated icons.
Love to be able to mix and match the apps I need and put them in order I want.
Room for improvement -
Slide to unlock button will disappear if a phone call caused the phone to lock itself, the phone would also lock itself unwanted after a phone call is in progress. It is annoying because when you want to press the keys on the screen, you find the phone locked with slide to unlock.
Contrast of the default icons are rather low (The whites are a bit above mid gray color)
Would be nice to flip from first page to last and then from last to first in one direction.
Would be nice to have option to display non-clear type fonts, my eye don't see well under clear type fonts.
Too bad SMS-Chat and FunContact have problem displaying typed text in landscape orientation in windows mobile 6.1 device (no problem in 6.0 though), or they would work great alone side Winterface.

so, how do i get that display of clock and slide to unlock?
edit :: wait, i get it.. this doesnt come w/anything else..
i like it -- really fast and nice to look at..
thanx..
Hmm,
I found quirks about the FunContact... Clear Type fonts used in that application will make all the typed in text display go blank when viewed in landscape mode... not recommended......

I think it does, the system wouldn't even let me enable clear type on landscape mode... Maybe that's why all those apps that use cleartype in landscape mode would not display typed text properly

I personally LOVE the Zoomboard because of it's accuracy when typing one-handed (usually while driving). Obviously, I also prefer the regular hard keyboard, but we all know that's not always an option.
What free software that is similar to Zoomboard are you talking about?
Does anyone know how to change the skin of the automated windows lock screen?? the default one is ugly...
+ 1 to that! Anyone?
Organic Lock
I know about a tools named Organic Lock (or something like that)
But I'd like to know if any of you has a more "sweet" lock screen. Some sort of S2U2 but when a "Password".
ya, just a better skin for the windows password would be great i was using omega 1, 1-pass before, but it is not compatible with windows mobile 5 and 6
Nthing this request - that lousy PIN screen has been like that for god knows how many versions of WM, anyone know if its skinnable, etc?
anyone??
Anyone managed to find this file?
Basically i was just hoping to invert the colours so that it is black rather than white.
Come on?
Anyone? Please! It looks so damn awful in comparison to the TouchFLO screens.
I use Sensor lock instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422871
As i could not believe how ugly the default unlock is.
I think there is a slide to unlock app, looking like the iphone one
SensorLock Pin?
Thanks for your reply rscreen but is there a way to pin protect with SensorLock? My main reason for not using SensorLock is that it's OK to lock the buttons but if I leave my Diamond laying around anyone could pick it up and unlock it without the use of a PIN? I'd just like to "theme" the PIN screen.
You could give this one a go:-

Bump please anyone ? Su2u is very ugly and wm lock also
This would be nice
bump!
Anyone have a nicer skin or a way to apply a nicer skin to the default windows pin pad.
I am required to use the pin due to exchange policies so I cant use the other apps.
Any help is much appreciated.

hey you think it works fine.... it is supposed to be bigger..... i adjusted it but it is difficult.... notice on yours the dots are very small and far apart from each other...
what about S2U2 with android unlock pattern ?
i think it would be really cool if the android unlock pattern can be combined with the S2U2 app.
coz, i've tried both.
and the throttle lock only lock the screen, unlike the S2U2 that also lock the button..
so, i think it would be awesome to have S2U2 with slide pattern to do the unlock action..
just my opinion, but i'll be really glad if the dev. implement it..
hi.
i had two Diamonds and both of them had same problem with throttle lock - if phone is not used for a long time (ex 8 hours) lock system is gone, it doesn't work anymore + start bar is gone too. Maybe somebody had similar problem? 1,93 and 2,03 soft's (stock).
Hi all,
Just a quick question. I tried S2U2, and I like the principle, but I don't like the slide thing as I don't like the smudges it causes on the screen. That's why I am not a fan of Touchflo etc etc etc
Is there a similar programme that you can just touch/tap the screen once (instead of sliding finger all across the screen) or use the D-Pad?
What interests me is the ability of the programe to use animated gifs, clock etc.
Many thanks in advance.
Did I search? hmmmmm.......

Go to the S2u2 settings and turn the D-pad ON and then you can use the D-pad.

You might want to have a look to Sunscape too, you can unlock the screen by finger or D-PAD, the mechnism is basically the same but the idea behind is really cool.

Thank you!!! I am going to try it out. I found that S2U2 crashes my Homescreen (Batterystatus) programme so I had to uninstall unfortunately as I like Homescreen ++.
