Screen lock during video playing - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi
I am still getting used to the my new touch hd phone. I've been playing with the screen lock tools available here but can't seem to find the right one for my needs. I want to be able to lock the screen during full screen video playback so it won't jump back to the portrait mode with an accidental touch on the screen (or keys). Either a slide or a long key press can return back to the portrait mode. Any ideas how I can achieve this?
Thx.

TF3D launches at startup but have to tap screen to display home screen.

When I boot up after reset or power off, the homescreen displays top task bar, bottom soft keys, and displays "launching TouchFlo3D..." and then... nothing. The screen stays like this until I tap it, and then it displays the home screen. Anybody else seeing this?
Even when just switching it on from a while on standby, I get a black screen.
I press the home or start buttons, and the home screen comes on ...... when it feels like it
I have never got no one to answer a question on here good luck...

Does touching the screen make it start?
I know that not turning off TF3D before installing some cabs can make it behave oddly- TF3D restarts, fails to launch at boot, etc...
Mine does the same thing except its just a plain screen until I touch it then it says launching tflo
Might have something to do with locking the device with a PIN/password. Try to disable that and see if many of your problems go away (switching to home screen on coming out of sleep or turning the screen on when in call and taking the phone away from the ear etc).

It has something to do with the PIN lock code, you're right.. now we just need someone to look into this further who knows how to troubleshoot these issues from the back-end.
Bump for more answers!

so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile

Lock Screen and Turn off LCD at the same time

Hey so I've tried all the different music players and I'm back to WMP as my favorite.
My question is, how can I lock the screen and shut off the lcd at the same time?
I bike with it in my jersey pocket and the screen is sensitive enough that it needs to be locked, but I'd also like to turn off the LCD.
Lock is programed as long hold of the end key, and I remapped the windows button while in WMP to shut off the lcd (used the keyboard mapper posted in these forums to do that).
Is it possible to use the powerbutton on the top, and keep the music playing?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How to toggle screen in WMP without hardware buttons?

Does anyone have an easy recommendation on how I can toggle the screen on/off without interfering with music playback in WMP since the Rhodium lacks mapable hardware buttons?
I was hoping turning it face down would do the trick, but that doesnt seem to do anything. Any way I can get it to toggle the screen when I flip it face down? Would I have to use Gyrator or a similar program to do it?

there is a reg edit for this so the power/standby button doesnt stop playback. But you can also use keyboard control to map the mute key if you have a tilt2.
I mapped the mute button to:
1 press: S2U2 Lock
2 press: S2U2 lock and turn of the screen light
3 press: Soft Reset

the easiest thing to do is install psshutxp. it is a great app. when you hold your power button it gives you option of screen off, turn phone off, or reset. the screen off works great for wmp playback
Hey why don't you use free key mapping utility by tarkim, I am using the same, it lets you map any hardware key 3 times. Check out the following link

[Q] Disable Capacitive Back And Menu Buttons in Landscape

Hi everyone,
First off, forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
I was wondering if there is something that enables the user to disable the Capacitive Back And Menu Buttons in Landscape mode. I have searched through the forum and could not find anything. I find it annoying playing a game or watching a video in landscape, because I keep on touching these capacitive buttons.
Thanks! :good:

Locking the phone

my 10 month old likes to watch a youtube video but of course ends up touching the screen or pushing the home button. Is there a way to lock the screen so its not touch sensitive and disable the home button ? thanks
