Pattern-based screenlocks?

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.

[APP] TF3D Landscapefix

Hey guys,
Here is the promised fix for the TF3D landscapemode. This is for english ROMs only. For any other language you have to fix the Program Files paths.
This SHOULD work on any english ROM with TF3D.
1. Install cmEXlandscape.cab
2. Install SecondToday.cab
3. Softreset
Note that this is only a WORKAROUND, so there may be minor bugs, but in general it should work fine.
http://rapidshare.com/files/183521003/cmEX_landscape_WWE.rar
---> Don't close Second Today. Best if you add it to the exclusive list of the HTC Taskmanager.
bye

Ah, that's interesting indeed... Will try it out. Thanks

what exactly does this workaround?
tnx for your work

A step in the right direction anyway...works reasonably well.

Very Nice!
I'll give it a shot later today

ehm... I mean what tecnically does. How it works

running secondtoday with rltoday in background. mortscripts makes it active windows when device is put into landscape and minimized when going back to portrait.

What happens when I will minimize all windows (red button press)?? What if I am not using the TF3D Panel (for whatever reason)

It will minimize SecondToday if you press the HangUp button. Not running TF3D won't run the script at all.

No, TF3D is running all the time.
Slow? Not really. Not much slower than on a Touch Pro.

Perfect Works like a charm!
I find myself sliding my keyboard out much more often now. Heh
EDIT: Donation sent =)

first of all sorry for my english
and this is a great application!!
i added second today in exclusive task manager list,
But.. every time i slide out the keyboard to landscape mode it always kick back to portrait mode.
i soft reset then tried again and it works in landscape (but sometimes still kick back to portrait) and when i slide in back to portrait it show me a weird today screen (see attached file)
could u help me to find the solution chalid?
thanks in advance
cheers

I may be wrong, but it looks like you don't have TouchFLO 3D running in the background, you need it running.

Understood.
Is it possible that Jack's V1.06 ROM does not work with this workaround?
If anyone is using these .cabs with Jack's, please shout it out! We'd most likely have an answer then.

This does not work with the TF3D Panel... does it?

[APP] Instant Screen Off (for rooted phones only)

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed

Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.

Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo

Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta

here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...

Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!

Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

In the Pie Control application, there is a option to set a button as the menu key(it requires root access). So you could create a fourth button in the pie controls app or you could even set one of your pre-set buttons to execute the menu key when a long-press is detected on it

Cool is there a way to show the stock menu softkey without using pie?

Turn of hardware buttons on Droid Turbo?

Does anyone know how I can turn off the hardware buttons on the Droid Turbo? I want to completely disable them so I can use the UI buttons on the Bliss ROM I am currently running. If anyone knows please share with me how you do it. Thank you!!

It would be a ROM setting. In settings search for navigation buttons? That's what it's called in another ROM, Resurrection Remix. Make sure you have the software buttons turned on before you turn off your hardware (capacative) buttons, otherwise you will have nothing.
Also, you would probably get a better answer in the ROM thread itself.

I tried that but there's no option in there. Just for the on screen buttons.

What I'm trying to do is turn off the actual hardware buttons so that I can turn on the on screen buttons and use those instead.

Try asking in the ROM thread. The dev can tell you if it's possible. Like this question and answer?
carlos67 said:
Quick question.
I'm seriously thinking of trying this rom but need to know if the 3 capacitive buttons can be disabled and an on-screen lollipop style back/home/recents software nav bar put in its place?
If not possible in the rom, what about an exposed module that does this?
Would appreciate any helpful responses

Even if you turn them off, you will still be able to "see" them as the white paint outlines them. You will not reclaim that screen space. They are permanently there, you will just have software keys to use instead.
Hide the hardware keys?
https://www.reddit.com/r/droidturbo/comments/3v89fu/hide_the_hardware_keys/
No. The outlines are painted behind the glass. If your unlocked and running a custom ROM, you can disable the capacitive keys, but they will still be visible because there physically outlined behind the glass.

Aside from a front glass skin (if there are any that mask the buttons) I don't think there's any easy and appealing way to "make them disappear." It might be possible to disassemble the front glass and black them out, but I think that's too risky of a procedure just to hide them.
