Use Smartskey to lock device with VoiceDial button?

Is it possible to remap my voice-dial button to use as a device lock button?
Or any other way (without using extra programs) to achieve this?

yes it is, check out the thread named "Yet another device lock application" or search for amstrong, he made such an app. It calls the device lock today-plug-in, but you can disable the plug-in from the today screen and the app will continue to work. I use AEBPlus to bind it to my comm manager button, double clicking the button will lock the device. Binding it to your voice dial button is also possible with AEBPlus. I'll attach both files here.

Great stuff Koksie.
Thanks a lot!

One thing I discovered, instead of AEBplus you can also use the "buttons" option in the settings to map Device Lock to a hardware button.

Yes, you can of course do it that way, but then you loose the original functionality of that button. With AEBPlus I just bind the devicelock to a double click on my Comm manager button. One click still brings up the original Comm Manager. In this way I can bind apps to buttons and still leave the original button set-up as it came out of the box.

That's true, but I never use VoiceDialing so it's no problem for me

What is different with Device Lock on Today?And how to turn off backlight except Power button?It's mean like Nokia.When you in key lock mode,you can't turn on backlight excep press unlock keypad.

the basic function is the same as the today plug-in. By using this app, you don't have to use the touch screen to lock your device and you can remove the plug-in from your today screen, thereby freeing up space on the screen.
I don't really understand your other question. If you mean that you want the backlight off untill you unlock the device, that is not possible with this app, since to unlock you need the touchscreen and therefore the backlight comes on.

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 .....

[Q] Key mapping for Motorola Milestone

Hello,
I would like to ask, is there any possibility to change the key functions in Motorola Milestone?
I would like to change the camera button into a power button. I don't like the idea of pushing power button to turn on the display when the phone is locked. I would like to do it with camera button. It would be much easier. I know apps like Screen Mode Widget but they only allow to instantly unlock the phone with camera button and I would like only to turn the display on and than to unlock the phone by myself with sliders on the screen.
Can anyone help me?

Use nova launcher double tap to sleep gesture or smart launcher 5 double tap to sleep gesture

I use this one dynalogix.screenoff.ultra.quick.timeout and it works quite well, it is using time-out technique, no admin permission is required, hence you can still use fingerprint to unlock.
You can either 1) place the screen-off shortcut on the desktop, 2) place the shortcut in Quick Settings, or 3) assign the shortcut to launcher that support [double tap] gesture. I'm using this with Nova Launcher.

Remove lock screen

Hello
I have a Huawei P9 Plus running Android 7.0. When I push the power button the lock screen appears. I was able to remove the password protection but still after pressing the power button a screen appears where I have to swipe.
How can I remove that lock screen so that after pressing the power button I am directly in the phone?

Have u installed other lock screen apps???

No, I have not.
