I would like to assign device lock on windows 6.1 to one of the buttons on my Hermes...is this possible?, Where can I find the sctivating program within the file system or is it built into the o/s and unaccessible?
Hopefully somebody can help me with this!
Before you say...I know there are many 3rd party locks like s2u2 that are excellent but i just need to save memory wherever possible and dont want device lock on the screen!
Thanks in advance
I used that program a while ago:

tried a search first but like i said, I dont want 3rd party software but to use the existing windows device lock and asign it to a hardware key.
How else can I get a hearing ear without a new thread but still no result!

can a WHOLE NEW thread be created just for this one question?
i might sound offensive.. i'm sorry....
nope thats not it, thanks anywy though. Any other ideas please??
anyone at all please?
Sounds like you have a 3rd party app like A_C's S2U2 possibly? I don't remember any standard ROM doing what you're describing. Maybe a screen capture so we can see what you're seeing?
i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

Here's to hoping!

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

They'd have to be just about the coolest developer to ever develop!
*hint hint* *nudge nudge*
yes. any developer who could code this what be greatly appreciated and will please a lot of people.
I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.
I've searched the whole forum but didn't find anything that helps.
Every WM6.5 build I've tried has the same problem, they all minimize instead of closing apps.
Does anyone know if it's possible to close apps with x-button at all or is MS holding that function until 6.5 is done?
\m/
I thought that was a standard setting in task manager?
HTC Task manager does this for WM 6.5 if it is set to do so. If you have the drop down icon on the today screen where the "X" should be, click it & than click on settings. This doesn't work if you are using a 6.5.1 Build though. I believe from what I read Showcase Task manager does though.
Hi
It works well in all versions of WIN 6.5 along with Pbar, WKTASK etc.
But in newer versions of WM6.5 like 23053/ 2047 wher the start menu and buttons are placed in lower bar, these task manager fail along with HTC taskmanager.
Pbar somehow with double tapping closes the program, but confusion because of zoom top bar is still there. Unles these taskmanagers are updated to close the progs from lower bar, the problem is here to stay.
PLEASE use search. This topic has been discussed to death! MS never has and never will include app closing with X button. They have a built in memory management system that closes apps when memory is needed. All X button apps are 3rd party and will not work with 6.5.1. You can use the task manager or similar app to close your apps.

Didn't I write that I already tried searching the forums but didn't find anything conclusive?
I appreciate the info, but the tone in your reply was unnecessary.

Yup there is nothing conclusive for the newer 6.5 builds. Use showcase older version, and it should close just fine by tapping on the left upper corner.

There actually is plenty conclusive, including quotes from the MS developement team. This topic is discussed in the main release thread in the Development and Hacking forum, in my ROM thread, and on MANY threads on XDA and other sites.
Don't tell me there is nothing conclusive. There is nothing inconclusive about this topic other than people not understanding how WinMo works and not reading about the sole workaround solution (Showcase) or a task manager like the built in WM one. This is one of the most asked and least searched about question of WM 6.5.1. If you search and read you will see everything I stated in the first page of a google search.
READ!
Anyhow, I am now unsubscribing from this thread, so you won't have to be annoyed by me anymore.
Wow, what an A¤&¤%#&%hole..
The first google hit brought me back here...
So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

Here's one hard-key solution that re-maps the volume keys on the side of the phone:

That's a great tip! I never realized that! You should put that in the wiki!

Thanks to both vigohz and MCBrian!
You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

You seem to be lost...you have a Kaiser, not a Rhodium.
You should be posting in one of the Kaiser sub-forums.

Wow, I did not know either of these two tips, I had been opening the onscreen keypad and using the arrow keys to move down to the message. Thanks to both of you!
I think it`s very useful to show other stuff instead of recent apps only. I can adjust brightness and sound volumn on an ipad. any suggested apps for customizing the home key behaviour?
Install a decent launcher like LauncherPro then you can have it open whatever you want.
Not long-press, it's a core OS function.
@theOP: you may not be able to change the function of a long-press like iOS but, unlike iOS, you can change the function of a short-press, so it kinda evens out.
google should have open it to other apps for replacing or adding new stuff, just like the home screen....
Hi,
I dont like opening older posts, but better than post another new one...
So I undestood, that a home long-press is not possible to redirect as another button (e.g. Search) or to execute some bash scripts?
I am still looking for some task switcher on hw button dependend and with posibility to call it from everywhere (all tas managers using search button, which is not present on X10i). Currently I am using PreHome with home doubleclick, but it is not so good as long press could be...
Or - one question - is it possible to redirect long press on Back button? I Know, that on Camera is this possible...

I think what XperienceD want to say, he like the idea of opening old threads instead of opening new threads...If everyone did that we would not have 500 thousand "my battery is at 0%" threads.
Hi I`d like to reopen this topis
Tomorow I found, that Cyanogenmod ROM`s are able to do this natively!
Anyone using any of these ROM?
I am trying to find out what is this button menu related to migrate this function
