I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?
the new version gives u an option to run at start up
Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now
i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous
Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..
Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe
Runs fine on my G1
if you don't know what you doing or if u move file that u don't know what they do, don't come crying here asking for help + saying that the app don't work

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen
i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.
this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!
Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.
Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.
lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

Not sure why my original thread was taken down but if it was because of "warez" it's crap. Go take down every other rom (including the sprint hero dump) that's "illegally" distributing apps and EVERY single windows mobile rom.
heres the goods:
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4746727&postcount=110
Btw if any mod feels the need to pull this thread again please pm a reason to why it was pulled.
DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR THESE APPS
search around for them!!!
i believe it WAS taken down because you've kept the original provider in the app names. i'm not a mod or whoever took it down so i dont know but thatd be my best guess. i remember seeing in the previous thread, i could quote someone saying "it's just a matter of time but good job till then!" or something along those lines. good job indeed! and so glad this is back up.
with that said i have an issue with the navigator:
i have it said on full audio, but theres no TURN voices. JUST STREET names. its really accurate on the street names. and the directions are perfect. but is is just me, or is the audio missing turn direction voices????

Anything special you have to do to get the tv app to work or is there something temporarily wrong with the connection right now? thanks
Sprint TV does work...
Its has been my experience (1 whole day) that the sprint tv stops working when you take the widget off the main home page. as long as I keep the widget on the main page, my tv has been working.
try that. might take a reset, erase widget and replace, and another reset, but it worked everytime the tv stopped working. ever since I left the widget on the main home screen it has been working fine.

Tried this a couple times to no avail. keep getting "channel listing is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
edit: saw the other thread on this. moving over there.
for me what i did was simply download, install, put widget on screen, reboot, works. but use the widget to get to the app. meaning click on the widget and it should take you to the tv app. if it still doesnt work, too bad. seems to be working at different times for people, and since tmobile networks sucks sometimes, could be that. idk lol!
so should i download tv widget .apk or tv apk or both ????? just want to do it right the first time...lol

sounds like both since it seems you need the widget.
TV works. Like everyone else said put the widget on your screen. Even after I did that it took a day for the TV to start working so be patient it's worth it.

To be honest once I got home I forgot all bout it. I just tried it this morning and it worked.

I will, I will. I'm on my phone right now.
Well it did a pop-up, showed the quick text box, and if you started to type, it would let you and then lock your phone back up after.
And if you didn't want to text back, it locked back up in 10 seconds (or whatever you set it to).
You can't exit out of the quick text box without the phone locking back up... really nice actually

I've recently switched to this app as well. must faster and lighter than handcent- but I'm having one issue.
I have it set to unlock the phone when a message comes in. If I receive a popup notification for a message and immediately take my phone out of my pocket, sometimes the screen orientation will change and this will dismiss the popup. the message disappears from my notification tray and everything. has anyone else experienced this?

Some ROMs are configured with the Answer key as some kind of headset key, so you can use it to answer/hang up/play/pause. This could be quite annoying since you can accidentally hit the button when you have the phone in a pocket.
This "app" clears your playlist, so hitting the play button doesn't do anything. Instead of using volume->pause to stop music you just pin the app to the homescreen and tap on it. To resume you'll have to go back into Zune and start a playlist.
Update 2011-09-01: I've updated the xap package to support Mango. I've also removed all unnecessary permissions from the app manifest.

Thanks m8, will check it out
Great job, the app does what it is supposed to do, but...
I get an error about DRM-stuff etc.
It works, but it would be great if the error cold be lost
Sounds good, I have this problem with my current ROM (Back to the Future v2 Mango ROM) as I did with the previous one. I think that I like the use of the button but just wish it didn't work while the phone was locked. I found myself restarting the phone to clear the music so nothing was playing just to get around this issue.
I'm updating my Windows Phone Developer Tool to 7.1 Beta hoping that this will enable me to sideload XAPs (currently I'm on dev tools 7.0 and it isn't working). I shall report back if I can actually install this XAP and if it does what I need it to do. Thanks for creating this
Damn, the XAP installer isn't working for me (Tom's XAP installer 1.2) despite updating the Windows Phone 7 developer tools. I now read a reset of the device once getting to build 7720 may resolve this issue but that would mean setting the phone up again Oh well, I'll try the app as soon as I get to the bottom of the XAP issue.
It's a good idea, but it keeps crashing with DRM error after doing its job.

I've updated the xap in the first post. It should now support Mango.
I figured out that resetting the phone would allow XAP installation so got around that issue last night when I completely wiped my HD2 and flashed the new v2 with updated radio onto my phone. I was hoping I wouldn't have to reset after spending ages setting the phone up but never mind.
I can confirm the new version of this app does exactly what it says on the tin I had issues with the older version as already reported when running on Mango, the new version works with no errors and clears the playlist which prevents any resuming of music from my pocket (running build 7720).
Thank you Ooije
One thing that pisses me off, if Im done listening to a podcast or a song when I press back and go back to the homescreen, if I change the volume the Play Rewind and FastForward buttons are all still there.
When I am in lock screen they are also all still there. (Sometimes I hit end button and then the play button gets hit on the screen in my pocket)
Is there anyway to get rid of those buttons, like closing the zune player so its not running in background even when you hit the back button on it.

That's exactly what this app does . I just tried it with a podcast using build 7712 and it's working properly. Since you wrote in this thread I assume it didn't work for you? If so, which OS version are you using?
New version works great! Error which I reported earlier is now fixed! Now let's hope that Microsoft will implement such a feature in a next update.
Excellent job Ooije, works a treat!
Its good to have the functionality of the hard button, but better to be able to switch it off!

It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

All you had to do to get that line was navigate to /data/app with root explorer and find SMS popup.
net.everythingandroid.smspopup-1.apk
Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.
Edit: either you posted that while I was typing or im blind. I actually tried that my device just showed smspopup.apk I thank you very much sir.

Just upgraded to Android 4.3 (stock HTC ROM) and there must be a bug because I can no longer disable the lock screen. I'm not talking about the pin/pattern lock screen but the swipe up to unlock lock screen (with the icons in the bottom). If I go to Settings > Security and chose to disable the lock screen it doesn't make any difference.
Can someone else please confirm that this is a bug before I wipe my phone?
Doesn't look like a bug, looks like HTC is being responsible and not allowing a phone to not have any security on it. Makes sense IMO

Oh, I see what you meant above now.. But the point is, for a lot of folks the lock screen is pointless. It's just an uneccesary extra step to get to what you want on your phone. Especially now that most phones have pocket detection so there's no worries of pocket dialing anymore. I personally find it annoying and not at all needed. Just one less thing to waste my time and battery.
I guess i can see the usefulness of it though in some situations, I.E. Nosy girlfriend/boyfriend mainly. Lol

Oh, I see what you meant above now.. But the point is, for a lot of folks the lock screen is pointless. It's just an uneccesary extra step to get to what you want on your phone.

I understand what you're saying, and I don't use any sort of security on my phone, but I'd still prefer to have the slide to unlock as opposed to nothing at all. I suppose it's each to their own but IMO HTC have decided to take the option out to possibly cover themselves from unhappy customers - I dunno...
HTC_001 just got the update and now being forced to have a lock screen when it doesn't add any security seems a waste of time, everyone knows how to unlock a phone so it's not going to stop anyone getting in, the choice should be left up to the end user, default it to on and that should cover them enough. Next they'll force everyone to have a pin to unlock their phone.
No Lock app works fine and the fact 1-5mill people have downloaded it shows that they have made a mistake here.
No lock, no thanks
Works awful. Just used it for about 5 minutes and it made my phone behave erratically. Seeing as it hasn't been updated for years, it's no surprise. Good luck with it...couldn't even launch apps from the notifications screen without it loading the home screen, locking it and then turning the screen off. Disabled it and then removed it and all is right again on my phone.
Why not accept peoples wish
No lock works fine - and about the security issues people have here:
I never lock my phone with a pattern, pin, code or something.
If you keep sensitive data on it - your fault. You know that it is public if it is on your phone (as we learned from the NSA).
If you don't, leaving your phone unlocked gives you at least the chance that if you loose it and an honest person finds it, he or she will be able to return it to you by contacting "Mum" or "Sweety" from the Contacts. An unhonest person would simply factory-reset it. Right?

I'm sure it will suck for many people. Look at the date on the app you guys... How well do you expect it to work, honestly?

Been working perfect on my phone (and others members here) for months. There's no need to update an app often when it does such a simple task. Does exactly what it says. Couldn't ask for anything more from it.

You obviously don't program. And it's great that it works for you, however it is apparent from the thread and the comments in the play store that the app has issues. The app certainly doesn't work for me on multiple devices. So I could certainly ask for more, seeing that it simply doesn't work reliably at all in my testing. But since it looks to be abandoned it's not something I expect. That's not a big deal for me at all because it's an app I simply tried but not one I plan on using.
