Hello, I have the HTC Touch Pro with an WM 6.5 Ecorom
Is there a way to have the hardware buttons locked (except the power button)?
I already have Smart Lock, but when I touch the volume buttons..my phone rejects the call unwanted?
In WM 6.1 there was that option standard
Thank you

I've noticed since installing Kavana's 6.1 ROM (great ROM, btw), that I can no longer use my red disconnect button as a shortcut to lock my phone.
In the past, I would just depress the red disconnect button for a few seconds and it would lock the phone, now I can only do this by hitting the left side power button to bring up the quick menu to do this.
Is there a way to get the shortcut back?
Thank you,
Tim
Locking Dash
I have always held down the z key to lock my phone. This works for me in WM6.1
Thank you, never tried that method, the key is smaller than the red disconnect button, but it'll do. - Tim
Strange. It works for me by default and I am using this ROM:
RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080320_WWE.exe
(apparently this is the same as the 080318 ROM, but with the defaults that he said were turned off actually turned off).
Strange it's working for me now as well.... but yesterday depressing the key would do nothing. Being a Windows OS I should have known I'd need to reboot. ;-)
False Alarm

when in doubt.... Reboot!!!!!!!
Is there an auto key lock function or application available for WM 6.1?

Hi,
I have a German htc Touch Pro 2 (from O2) and I am still using the ROM it came with.
After a bit of tweaking, it is working great and there are a few minor tweaks I have not worked out how to do yet even after searching this forum.
1. After previously having the Hermes (Trion) and Artemis (Orbit) phones with lots of programmable keys, I find it a setback to only have one such key on the TP2 (hold call button). I am looking for a way of at least adding the Windows key to the list of programmable buttons (preferably both normal and hold modes). Being able to reprogramme the up/down buttons would be great as well (with hold mode).
2. On the main keyboard, the Ctrl key appears to me to be underused. I would like to use ctrl-T (or ctrl-messaging) as a tab-key - a button sadly omitted on the otherwise excellent keyboard.
Is there a registry hack to do this?
I currently have the hold phone key mapped to "messaging" so that I can easily switch messaging accounts when viewing my email. Holding the Windows key would be used by me to activate Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.
Additionally, I noticed that htc has omitted the Google Maps page on Touch Flow. Can this be hacked back in?
Regards
Peter
Good question
I was looking for this answer myself. So far I haven't found anything, but I'm still looking.
I am in the need of something like that, too.
I have a German-Version of Touch Pro2, everything is standard. The only thing I want this device to do is to type in russian (with the hardware keyboard).
But I guess thats not really your concern, Peter Walker.
However, I would appreciate any help.

You could try the Rhodium Keyboard Controller found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240. It lets you reconfigure all hardware keys.
When I was using 6.5 ROMs the Volume keys would be disabled if the device is locked but with 6.5.1 the are not. So every time I put it on vibrate it eventually comes out of vibrate when the buttons get pressed in my pocket or in my holster. Does anyone know of any registry keys to edit to disabled them when the phone is locked. Locked meaning when I hold the End Key down for a few seconds to lock the device. Thanks in advance.
I tried this which I found in the Touch Pro forum:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DisableVolumeKeyDuringLock"=dword:1
It failed. And I agree, that is a frustrating aspect of new 6.5.1 roms. That and so many of them have that lame old WM5 volume graphic installed on them.

I'm talking about the keylock where if I press any certain key it will wake the device. AKA unlock/lock keys when device is off.
I know I had a Touch Diamond 6.5 ROM with that option in it. Whether/how it was added I don't know. Is there a cab with that option to bring back to 6.5?
Thanks.
Maybe this would help, you know that pressing the home/end call button for 1 second or so lock's the phone? But for unlock you have to slide.
That is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how the keys are locked when the device is off. Whereas I can not turn on the device by pressing a button other than the power button. On 6.1 there is a keylock option. Not on 6.5, however I have seen it on some ROMS...
Anyone?
You can turn on the device (when it is completely off) by pressing on any button other than On/Off button?
I'm looking for this too. It was on my Kaiser 6.5 software but not on my Touch Pro 2. Different threads have said you can do it with HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd/DefaultKeyLock = 0, then soft reset but that didn't seem to do anything for me.
The answer is... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then soft reset. Works like a charm.
I have recently upgraded frm wm 6.1 HTC Tytn II to HTC Touch Pro 2 6.5
I like the new phone but I do not like 6.5 operating system.
The biggest thing that annoys me is that my my 6.1 had "key lock" in settings.
This allowed me to turn on the device by pressing a button other than the power button. I can't do this in 6.5. I dont even have the option. I have to press the power button everytime to wake up the phone. Can someone out there please help me!!! Is there a fix for this somewhere in the registry? If not,
i might consider going back to my solid and more stable kaiser.
Look forward to hearing from you
I think that this program will do the trick. It will let you remap all your hardware keys to the action that you want.
