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.

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.

Official Roms and incoming call's audio level

I cant get to put the incoming voice level to completely minimum , or may be level 1 or 2, its always in level 3 and can increase it to max. is this new officil rom bug, or something wrong with my phone's hardware. which by the way was working perfectly with black majik rom.

did you install any applications? like phone alarm??
i have an idea to make sure the problem is not from the rom do hardreset and directly make phone call to see if this problem there or not!!

I had installed but removed it

I haven't notice that kind of bug (I can change volume from the bottom till top), but this is true that new ROM has much louder in-call volume, even with minimum level. I've pointed that already in some other thread.

But can u make it completely zero

What do you mean by 'zero volume'? Scroll the volume bar to the bottom, or mute volume completely? I can do both, actually, however muting is done by tapping a button on the screen.

I cant do that

this is what i mean i can scroll down to the end but the volume still remains as if its on level 3. i know i can mute with button, but i need to control the incoming volume while talking

I've just checked, and it is changing a volume while going down to the bottom, and I can hear a difference between level 3 and 0...

After reflashin rom still problem
i re-flashed the official extract rom from dopod, still the problem persists, of controlling minimum volume of coming call. it just doesnt go to the mininum volume of zero level.

I've the same problem. The volume slide can go up or down during calls but doesn't seem to have any effect to the volume that's coming thru the phone.

WM6/HTC Home volume setting keeps getting reset

Hi,
Anybody have probs with a Vario II/Hermes and WM6 whereby you set the ringer mode to "vibrate only" in the HTC Home application, but then randomly throughout the day it resets itself to the default 50% on both sliders?
When I check the HTC Home app it still thinks that I'm on "vibrate only" but the icon in the titlebar says otherwise. I can either set the sliders manually, or just press the "vibrate only" button in the HTC Home app to correct it, but I'm fed up with having to do it several times a day.
The speaker is pretty loud on these so it's annoying when I get an email and the entire building can hear it...

1. which HTC Home version are you using?
2. which rom you are using?
3. did you hard reset you device manually after upgrade?
4. try to flash rom with HTC home built if you wish to have that.
Enjoy ~~~~

Hi, thanks for the response! Answers below:
1. There's no version number that I can see - I downloaded it from here though.
2. The ROM is from the T-Mobile UK "upgrade your phone" page - it doesn't come with the HTC stuff on it as standard so I installed them from the downloads posted here. I chose it because it makes it semi-official, and I thought that I'm more likely to get help if I brick the phone...
3. Yup. In fact, for various reasons the device has been reset a number of times, and I've even done a hard-reset and re-installed all the HTC stuff to try to fix it.
4. Is this a known problem then? Do I need a non-official ROM with HTC Home installed to make it work?
I have actually taken to using the main volume control in the top bar to set my phone to "vibrate", but it still has this odd behaviour of randomly reverting to a loud setting. I'm wondering now if the HTC Home app is a red herring, and that something else (ActiveSync? Meeting reminders?) could be overriding my volume setting? I never user the phone as a phone - it's just my email device so there's never a requirement for it to have the ringer volume up higher than "vibrate"!

HTC Phone Lock (Transparent)

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get this working on our beloved HD's? I hate the way the screen goes completely black during a call, we can't use the light sensor to tell the phone that the call has finished and it is away from your ear (so screen comes back on a la iphone), and i keep doing things during a call with my ear!!
So this seems like the ideal solution - but i can't get it to work!!
I've copied over the file to the windows folder, then soft reset. Changed the registry entry for phoneLockEnable to 1 in HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone but still no joy!
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
DF

Beside this transparent canvas, where can I get the orginal canvas?
I am using a offical ROM but I don't see this function!

that's interesting, because my screen doesn't go blank during calls and it happens quite often that i accidently disconnect a call (i suppose because i hit a button with my ear).
so in search for i solution i found in Advanced config a tab Light sensor > Light sensor polling which i set enabled. the explanation says "uses light sensor to automatically turn screen off when the phone come near from your ear to answer a call". so this should set it like the i-phone does, right?
hence when i tested it, the screen still was on, even when i put my thumb onto the light-sensor.
is this because i don't have a stock rom (i use Duttys HD V1.9b XTREME) or is there something i can do about it.
it would be really nice to have the screen locked when i answer a call and to outomatically unlock it if i remove it from my head to use some function on the screen..

Hi take55,
Yes, i'm aware of the advanced config tweak (also in HD Tweak), and as you correctly state, the screen should/will go blank on call connection (i'm running kwbr's A Touch Of HD 3.3.4 and mine doesn't, even with tweak applied!!).
Unfortunately, when the call ends and you move the phone away from your ear, the screen still stays blank????? I've read somewhere on these forums that it never will work like the iphone (not sure why, as the light sensor should recognise that we've moved the phone away from our ears).
So that is why i'm trying to get this other method to work. What i have noticed is that with the bmp copied over to the windows folder or with a cab i found by A-Math installed, my dialler locks up after every call (as if the transparent phone lock is in place) but i can't actually see it. None of the screen works and i have to soft reset. Maybe something is stopping the bmp to show on the phone....who knows.
It also might be the fact that this was designed for the Diamond (found the cab on the Diamond forums).
Just hoping some genius here might now how to sort this.
I've attached the cab file i've found, give it a try and see if you have the same issue as me.
Regards
DF

It has nothing to do with the BMPs but with the registry setting that the CAB also makes. It sets HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\PhoneLockEnable to 1, in wich case you'll have to press the power button to unock (no need to soft reset). For the BMP to work the phone/dialer software will have to support it, otherwise it just locks the phone in the usual way: black screen, power button to unlock.

tks but your cab only for the canvas skin only, do not contain the original software (slidable canvas), anyway, tks for your help

I've also found this problem to be quite annoying during a phone call but have found some sort of way to deal with it.
Firstly my ROM isn't tweaked, its just the basic one already installed.
After a call is connected, the screen switches off. But if you need to access the screen again during a call, I just press the "Back Arrow" key, one of the four hard buttons on the bottom which brings the screen back up again.
If you press the phone button instead whilst the screen is off, the screen lights up again but it puts the call on hold.
This probably isn't the best way to deal with this, but it seems to work for me for the time being, hope this helps anyone else here.

Useful info - I found this particularly annoying yesterday during a ouple of calls.
Also discovered Gyrator tries to turn the phone screen and was laggy - which was even more annoying!

Everyone!!!
CHECK THIS OUT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489034
Answer to all our prayers - a screen lock which uses the g-sensor and not the light sensor.
Now, when a call is connected, holding the phone to the ear blacks the screen, but when you bring the phone down (to use the keypad or something), THE SCREEN COMES BACK ON!!!!!!!
Tried and tested on kwbr's A Touch Of HD v3.3.4 (probably the best manila2 ROM out there!)

[UTIL]In Call Screen Lock Like Omnia

This tool acts like a screen locker during all call.

It locks only screen and does not turn off the screen.
This one is very useful to see how call going but dont have any troubles about accident screen taps. And every moment you can unlock screen to press something. Hardware buttons does not locked.
Warning
This util hooking touch screen driver.
So you need first install SDKCERTS.CAB from attach
Also, if something will wrong with this hooking, you can return full functionality to touchscreen only by disabling tool touchscreen driver.
You can do it, using PC tool pregutil from XdaUtils.
You need to make ActiveSync connection with phone and then run:
Code:
pregutl.exe -d HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH :DriverName
then SoftReset the phone.
In any case, Hard Reset will restore your phone.
Problems with installing driver make that touch screen will not have any response for taps.
I have using this tool on Polaris,Diamond and Blackstone. I have not any problems.
BUT: you are using this tool at YOUR OWN RISK
Instructions
0. Make a backup of your phone
1. Install SDKCERTS.CAB
2. Install HtcExtFun-0.3.cab from attach
3. Soft reset
Features

- Lock screen during all call
- Change alerting of new sms recieved event
- Alert about missed calls and messages
- Turn off screen when call connected
- Vibrate when call connected
- Vibrate every n-th second of the call
- Simple redialing of current call if connection does not reached
- Screen off during dialing when phone flicked. Used g-sensor
- Change SIP (software on screen keyboard) when stylus in/out
All settings in registry. HKCU\Software\HtcExtFun
Registry keys description included in install folder.
To apply changing settings need restart program: run HtcExtFun.exe from install folder and say YES, then run program again.

Nice soft but if the key doesn't lock there is still a high chance to press the end call button by accident. There is absolutely no way at all to lock keys as well ?
