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.

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!

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, i know how to change the soft key on the home screen - but does anyone know if and how you can change it so that the soft key just locks the keypad?
thanks

search the internet for the programm "devicelock.cab". Install this programm and change the function of the left softkey to this devicelock-programm. You find in the tweak-section how to change the softkey.
Hope this helps.
Bye
This small app will lock and turn off your phone. Hope this will help you.
If you press an hold on the 'end call' button it locks the phone.
does the lockandoff program work with diamond ?
dat would be awesome not having to wait for it to timeout after locking the keypad

..yes you are right, but not only the lock function, really useful
i also have a question, once the htc is locked can i still answer my phone call in "locked mode" ?
and ..
why not implement in the setup: lock and turn off htc ?

why you just don't try it?

Because its pretty hard to call yourself to test!?
I tried it and when the phone rings it get's unlocked to be able to touch the screen... This program works exaktly as holding down the End Call button.
why not use S2U2 and link a softkey to ilock ?
Tried S2U2 and it works a bit better... To bad the screenbuttons can't be locked while a caller rings the phone. Want to remove any accidently answering/declining when pulling the phone out of the pocket....
That is an option in S2U2. Its exactly why I use it.
thank you mate
Thanks guys for your answers - those of you who said hold down the end key - i should have said - i do know that you can do that, but it just feels way to long winded and i wanted a 1 button press rather than holding the phone for about 5 seconds to lock it. Ive been using the lockandoff.exe, i like it. my only problem is, its starting to bug me that the light is always dim when the phone is locked - i have tried changing this with Advanced Config but it sticks and doesnt work. any guesses?
S2U2 is far and away the best and most comfortable locking solution for wm. in my opinion.
when i lock my HTC with devicelock and a call is coming in it will "UNLOCK" my HTC. I would prefere my HTC will keep locked until i unlock it
what do you think ? can the developer implement / change devicelock or maybe at least let the user choose if he want unlock the phone when a call is coming in or not. It happen already, when my HTC is in my poket and i rush to answer i press the wrong button and maybe close the call
A question: i set my devicelock to lock my HTC when i hold down the Phone OFF key. How to enter devicelock.cab settings if i want to change parameters? default i can enter settings by hold down the Phone OFF key, after i changed i don't know how
I also tried to uninstall devicelock with HTC software remove, it say ...removed but it is still inside because i still can use the"unlock" function. I don't know how to uninstall .....
So...
1. Install S2U2 v.16 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
2. Disable any other locking programs or settings; could be used for autolocking only "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec" on Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced.
3. Install a registry editor (my favorite is SKTools v.4.3.1.2)
4. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone, but nothing is listed there), and write here: \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
5. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText and write here: Lock (or anything you want for the name of the button)
6. Close registry editor and... you could lock your device anytime you want!!! The left soft key that was "Phone" on default TouchFlo 3D is now "Lock" (the Phone key is already present on hardware buttons, so nothing to loose...)
Many thanks for this to A_C and mkhattab.
But this version seems cannot lock the Home key, any idea?
if you press the home button, it will unlock, but only for a second. It then automatically goes back to s2u2 screen. Although it is still possible to use touchscreen during that brief moment..
thnx.. this is a great tweak!
i did the same thing after installing the s2u2 but after a while i realized that this method has 1 disadvantage: anytime you want to lock you have to go "home first" and only in the "home" tab you can lock the device.
how i solved? i used HButton and put the lock on the "call" hardware button.
now, it doesn't matter in witch tab i am..long press on "call" and my diamond is locked.

Guys am i doin something wrong?
I got my HTC Diamond yesterday and been using it for a day now... i just press once on my power button every time i dont use my phone, and in that "mode" my phone is locked and in standby mode too. U cant use any keys apart from power key which brings my phone from "stand by" mode to normal mode?!
Is this way safe? To me, looks ok.
I think my rom is 1.93.0.0. this is original phone rom (not cooked one)?
Any suggestions/advices?

start-settings-system-power-key lock-> check "do not lock buttons" , and after this you could use my instructions on the first post to lock your Diamond with style...
If you want, I could provide you an registry tweek that will lock your phone automatically when the light is dimed. To unlock, you should press a softkey "Unlock device".
Or you could tell me what is your more convenient scenario for lock and unlock and maybe we could help you!

Modify registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable , change from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

1. i just installed S2P, is there any way to quickly lock the phone, instead of waiting 15sec until the backlight goes off?
2. another question, how can i change the quick buttons in the diffrent menues, in the black field, on my home screen it got "show all programs" and "Planet 3" i wanna change Planet 3 to Camera.
3. 3rd question, can i add pocket player instead of the normal music player in the tf3 menu?
4th question, how can i change "port" for outgoing mails? SMTP. there is no settings for changing outgoing port(smtp?) so i cant send any mails.

1. I think you mean S2U2 and you should read the S2U2 Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
What I do to quickly lock my phone is either, shut the screen off using the button on my phone (Which then locks the phone instantly as well) or Create a shortcut to S2U2 Lock to lock the phone, or I can use psshutxp to shut off the screen which also locks the phone instantly.
Sorry I can't help you with your other questions

Ah perfect, didnt know about that exacly what i was looking for
as u all my friends know,there is a configuration for LOCK in control panel of your windows mobile (6.1 PRO ) .you can just set a Count down for autolock your device.
but when you want to leave your phone this really matters coz ur phone is left there unlocked ! and if you put it on 1 minute then you should unlock it every goddamn minute.
is there anyway to lock your phone manually?
just like Nokia S60 phones... LOCK PHONE
Hold down the "end call" key. Depending on how you've got it set up it will either lock straight away, or it'll bring up a menu and lock phone will be one of the options
Bro I don't want to lock my KEYPAD .
