is there screen lock software for xdaiis

is there any software to lock screen for blue angel? thanks

Yes there is...
I just found an excellent program called "ScreenLock". It turns the screen off and locks all the buttons. The only way to unlock the screen is to press button 1 and button 4 together (on the XDAIIs this is the Calender and messenging buttons) or do a soft reset. This program is perfect for listening to music and also save battery life too.
The cab file is attached below. Drag it to your device and run it from there.
Hope this helps.
Dom

Cheers for this!

xdadom - top app, thanks

Yep, leapt straight in to my "must have" list.
Fantastic little tool!

The best thing I found to do was assign it a button like the "Record" button which I never used! You can then lock the screen with one touch.
Great when playing MP3s and beats paying loads of dosh for an iPod!

There's also MortSaver

Thanks XDADOM, works on XDA1 as well.

On my QTEK 9090:
START --> Settings --> System (folder) --> Button lock
No need of 3rd party software.

button lock doesn't work if you want to keep on playing music.

problems with screenlock
Installed screenlock on my blue angel (SX66). When I launch it from the program panel, the screen goes black and then a moment later it flashes, the black then flashes. This continues until I manage to get a screen press in during the momentary flash at which time the screen then remains on and active. Not sure what is happening, anyone else see this or am I trying to use it incorrectly.
Thanks
David

is there anyway to change the unlock key(use other key except calender and message?) how?

I think they're the only keys that you can use. I expect that they are coded into the software itself.

on my imate
START --> Settings --> System (folder) --> Button lock
never the less, good aplication
tnx

i think you might installed it the storage card. i have same experience as you when i first time install it, you should install it to the default directory.

psShutXP
Try psShutXP, excellent freeware with lot of functionality

Do you guys use media player for playing mp3s? Cause it's pretty damn easy to configure a button to toggle the screen off. And you can still keep your buttons free for song functions like previous, next or volume up/down.

just tried memmaid and it worked !
thanks !

what i did was...
1. press and hold record and camera button
2. press the reset (still holding record and camera button)
3. release the press on reset (still holding record and camera button)
4. after that, options will appear on screen. cant really remember the words but my response is...
NO
YES
YES
it work like a charm!
warning though, it will delete everything on your phone, i suggest backing up everything first before doing this. goodluck!

I always have Today screen after turn-on PDA

Hello,
I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .
Anybody can help me?
Thanks!
Sesaru
UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.​
Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!

Sesaru,
Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.

You need the software X-Button
It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.
When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.
It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.

I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.
handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;
I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).
The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal )
After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...
I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!

Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.
Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?

This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.
If not then you're SOL (just like me).

that´s sounds really bad or not?

Ummm, careful Kc SN ... I see you haven't posted much, but you should get into the habit of reading the entire thread before you start to type. Otherwise, the foot can easily wind up in the mouth, as is evidenced here.

S2P...Will it work on Dash?

Hey guys, Ok I know that S2u2 and S2P are intended for touch screens. However, I was able to get S2u2 to work perfectly with a few minor registry changes. I would like to use S2P (another one of A_C programs), but I have not been able to get it to work. I am using version .40 and have found no registry keys that can help. Does anyone have any ideas? It looks like a cool program to incorportate with S2u2. Thanks for the advise.

How did you get s2u2 to work exactly, can you share which version you used and the reg settings? If i can get that going, I'll try to help you with the s2p.

The version of S2u2 is v1.01. When I first installed it it seemed to work but the default setting is to shut the phone off after 30 seconds of being locked so I changed that setting
hkey current user\ Software\ A_C\ S2u2\ OffLCD=17
OffLCD should be 0
THe other settings are just cosmetic. I changed the clock setting to "h" instead of "HH" so it wouldnt show military time. And I changed the file path in hkey current user\ Software\ A_C\ S2u2\ wallpaper to point to .gif files for animated wallpaper.
Thanks a bunch for the help. I really like the look of s2u2 and I think that you will to.

I also got S2U2 to work. The only problem,,,, and this is a BIG problem for me, is that the S2U2 "screensaver" would not stay on infinitely for me. If i had the phone setting there for a while and "woke up" the screen i saw that the s2U2's program was not running in the foreground and showed me the default homescreen. It was still running, however, in the background since i saw it in task manager. If i clicked on it again in task manager, the program started right back up. I'm not sure if this is a conflict of another program ( like smarttoolkit, or the weather app, or photo contacts pro) or if it's because it wasn't made for smartphones. I would love to get a fully ported version for WM 6.1 standard though.

I am still running 6.0. This could be why I have had a different result with
S2u2.

why don't u guys post what others ppc apps that works on dash??

I tried the s2u2 v 1.05 and my phone doesn't like it, maybe i had the settings wrong. I installed and then tried to run ilock, and got error. I could run s2u2 and start the lock manually though. Once i locked it, if i pressed any key, the display would light up. If i was on battery power and pressed the center key to wake it up, then the display would not come on at all , but my keypad lights would and it would lock up my phone and get stuck like that until i removed the battery. I thought I disabled it, but then I got a phone call and the slide to answer screen came up(without the slide though) and then i couldn't unlock the phone and had to pull the battery again. I finally uninstalled. Is there some reg settings that are mandatory to get it to work or is it just that buggy on smartphones?

The only reg change thats manditor is the offlcd=0. I am using V1.01. I wonder if that could be part of the issue. It never did that for me but I am on the old 6.0.

yeah, I did the offlcd=0, because without it when I manually ran it, it turned power completely off, like you said earlier. I couldn't find the 1.01 version.

pm me...i have 1.01 if you want it

Ok, got 101, now no more glitches, so it was problems caused by 1.05. But s2p doesn't seem to have a chance without dpad controls available. On the s2u2, how come it doesn't autoset when display turns off? Is there a reg setting for this? And is it just me, or is the display supposed to light up whenever a key is pressed. I still have to unlock for the key to work, but I can't have the display turning on whenever I accidentally touch a key.

Is this possible? Completely lock the screen with the Power button

(This is my first post, so I'm very sorry if I screw something up...I've been reading the XDA forums for quite some time now, so I hope I've got it right... Also, this is my very first WinMo device, so I apologize if the solution is something really stupid and easy.)
Hello guys,
I just got the TP2 about three days ago, and I SPLed it and installed WM6.5 on it. I've got the EnergyROM_RHODIUM_20091007_Titanium ROM on it right now.
However, there's something that's been annoying me. Whenever I hit the power button on the top of the TP2 to deactivate the screen, the screen will turn on if an incoming text or email should come in while the screen is off.
The only way it won't do this is if I lock it from the Honeycomb menu, then turn off the screen via the power button.
Is there a way to make the power button lock the phone and shut off the screen so it will not wake up when a text comes in?
If someone could tell me a way to do this, I'd very much appreciate it!
Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention this is a T-Mobile USA Pro2.

seems this software should satisfy you :
LockDevice: Another great application that locks the device with the tap of the power button. Uses the standard windows lockscreen, very lightweight. (freeware) ~ Thanks thierry2064

If you have the WVGA(HD) Tweak tool (should be under All Programs), it has a setting that disables Wake on SMS -- it's setting 2.2.
I don't know about a setting specifically pertaining to e-mail...my very-similar setup doesn't wake up as yours does.

That's a very nice lock, I use it myself, but it's for WM 6.1.
For WM 6.5 use SmartLock.

I installed SmartLock, then, when I went looking for the WVGA Tweak Tool, it was there. I thought I didn't see it, but, oh well. I checked it and it said that Wake on SMS was disabled (default).
Maybe SmartLock did that? I'm not sure. I'm testing it right now. Thanks for all the help so far.
EDIT: IT DID WORK! Thanks so much! (Definitely makes me feel better about selecting the TP2 to replace my iPhone 3GS )

Just to make clear: LockDevice works perfectly for WM6.5. I use it myself a long time now with different 6.5 ROMs.
