Tried to search this board for such an app but had no luck.
Is there an app that does a similar function to the power button (lock the screen etc) ? So just clicking the app icon switches off the screen and puts the phone to sleep. Want to save me pressing the power button.
+1. Would come very handy to have it. Whenever boss comes around, and I push the off button, I usually end up pushing "vol up" as well, or somehow drop the phone.
check out Screen Off.. its a paid app though

+1 for screen off ( invisible widget)
Also if you have adw launcher just go to options and select this app or any switch off app for "swype up"...just swype up your finger on the screen and it closes phone...

Wouldn't know. But maybe you should apply some kind of market enabler if the above app can't be installed (countless instructions to be found in this forum).
Cheers.
I can download and install other apps from the market place.. but the lock screen one, it cant seem to find it... even when i bar code it.
will try the other suggestion... cheers
I am lost as to why I cant find this.
I keep getting this error :
"There are no matches in Android Market for the search: pname:com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget"

Is it possible to get weather on the lock screen? I see all this wasted space at the top and seems like something should go there.

Ya I saw that. Not sure I like it. Sometimes the normal lockscreen comes up then the flyscreen. ANd I like the swipe to unlock not pressing a key.
This Flyscreen is great! However, now it unlocks too easily. Just thinking, would we get it so that only 2xhome-button triggers it.. or maybe iphoneesque swipe bar would fit there nicely.
Good app but I hate the menu to unlock, should be a swipe, but also wished the press menu button to unlock was taken out because A) I already know what button it is and B) if someone picks my phone up, then they won't know how to unlock it etc!
Simples.
Swipe at least for our own enjoyment (yes it's not secure but it's fun) Menu bit out as it's well a little too duh!
Good app though!
Another thing I'd like to see on this after using it for past day is the actual scrolling across to be more flowing, at moment it's more stuttering to each tab / news feed. - Oh and the Weather feed should update so the previous days are replaced for forthcoming days, rather than one standard weekly thing.
Does anyone know how to launch the Home Long Press via a shortcut?
Such as the direct "Activity" or "Intent"?
Or even a "Launcher Pro Shortcut"?
I belive the home long press is inaccesible to regular apps.
It's a system function.

The latest ADW launcher lets you crate a 'custom shortcut'. Not only to customize the icon, but it lets you pick from all callable activities it sees. Even specific activities inside an apk. Try looking through those to see if the recent activities activity is there.

What about for LauncherPro?
You can try Visual Task Switcher from the market. There is a free ad supported and paid ad-free version. You can set that app on your homescreen and when you click it it comes up on your screen with your opened apps... and if you have more than 9 opened you can scroll to the side to see more. It's not perfect, but I think if the dev keeps working on it, it's a great option.

Way ahead of you Tried it, but didn't like it. (link)
For those of us who prefer the stock-ish experience and get frustrated by the inability to hold down home for app switching, AppBrain turned me on to a nifty little free app called Perfect Task Switcher. It runs well with TNT 3389+performance pack. You can also lets you select which home screen (classic or TNT) you want to go to when you do the 2x press on home.

I applied the home long press fix and now I can use the home button to access recent apps. It is very easy to apply. Would you like the link?

Thanks for the offer. I saw that a bit back but didn't apply it for some reason. I'm sure it is very easy to apply, but Perfect Task Switcher works and won't be replaced (likely) by a firmware update. Also, it has task-killing functionality built into it, so that's a nice little bonus.

Hi , can you give me the link please? Tks !
What's a best app/widget to put a power button on your homescreen that'll put your tab to sleep? The ones that I've seen mentioned so far are Tap Tap App, Screen Off and Lock, AnyUnlock and Screen Off.
Any thoughts on which one is the best? Also, being able to wake it up with the volume rocker would be a nice option.

Quick boot.
Widgetsoid includes a nice lock widget and a reboot widget, I haven't seen anything that's expressly sleep though.
I am using button savior.

LockMyDroid
You could always use MY app, LockMyDroid.
The advantages are that it's an app instead of a widget so it offers many more ways to lock your screen. Examples:
Set it as the 'Action' for the Clock Tap in FancyWidgets
Add a shortcut to your homescreen
Hold the Home button, if it was one of the last 8 apps used (always is for me) you can lock your phone from that menu
Long-press the 'Search' button on your phone
Launch from app drawer and lock your phone

While you're at it, you could try the new Live Wallpaper that I just put on the market which I fashioned from my failed Google I/O contest entry

But Quick Boot doesn't have an option to make it sleep right? It just reboots or powers off unless I'm missing something.
Advanced Power Control is great

That's the name of it? I can't find it in the market.
I use minimalistic text to call on screen off and lock.
So I touch the word lock and the screen goes out with an old TV tube animation, gingerbread style on froyo.

Hi,
My P7 does not have lock screen, instead of this, loads an annoying app called P7 (which comes with stock ROM).
Any of you have an idea to enable lock screen? In settings->security->lock screen, option appears in grey and it is unselectable
I have updated to B126 to check if there was an issue with my stock rom, but it is the same.
Thank you

I'll take a guess here that you have the default magazine slideshow lock.
Go into the theme app and click customize them you can change the lockscreen style to one that allows widgets etc.
It took me a little to figure it out also when I got my phone.

No, i dont have any lock screen. When i press power off button to go to lockscreen, by default, the P7 app appears with a lot of spam about huawei. If i disable this app by settings->applications->p7->disable, when i press power button, screen goes black and when i press again, instead of see the typical lock screen, i see the desktop directly

Please take a screenshot of what you mean.
This was already discussed before, use the search button next time.
Your phone is in demo mode, used for demostration in shops.
Try method post #20 first, if it doesn't work do the steps in post #18.

Not at all, but I learnt about demo mode, and I was able to find the app in /cust/hw/demo, so I removed this and then I did a factory reset
