Hello guys
is there a possibility to make a programm to lock a screen just as you would do on your PC after pressing win+L?
You know, there would be an (customizable) icon in the middle of the screen with currently logged in user and you would tap the icon a nd type in some password....or some gesture like circle or triangle or whatever...
There could also be a possibility to change backgrounds (just like you had a program for win Logon Loader)...
What do you think?
I personally don't like Slide to unlock since I am used to it from my ipod touch - but I don't like having it on blackstone...kinda sucks...
apple is apple htc is htc!
So what do you XdaLords think of such a lockscreen?
Thanks
hi, you know, if you press long the "shut conversation" button, then it locks the screen. it's the original lock, doesn't look so nice, but it's very efficient.. otherwise, the lock idea with the gesture is quite good, something like in winterface.. don't know, perhaps someone knows something similar greets^^
I dont have blacsktone yet...
I just had an idea based on communication here in the forums
ooooo i am so lookig forward to have one...hurray
I use sensorlock. You just spin the pone clockwise and it locks using g-sensor. Anticlockwise unlocks it.
stunning
Guys, this program is simply stunning !!!!!!
why dont HTC release this with the phone in the first place!!!!

Hi all
Have now virtually achievd my perfect TODAY screen, but for ONE problem. It is just SLIGHTLY too large, thus bringing up a scroll bar on the right hand side- with around 1mm of scroll!!
I have done all I can to shrink and move things, and I believe I now have 2 options left- neither of which I know how to do......
1) Slightly reduce font size on owner information (which I want to keep), AND?OR get the phone no. oto the same line as my name.
2) I wish to keep the screen lock option that appears on today by default (the padlock that stops any screen activations in your pocket). Am wondering if I can add this to one of my SPB PocketPlus tabs as a shortcut- but have no idea where the .exe file is to point to.
Any help much appreciated,
Justin
Why dont you post screenshots. More great suggestions will come in for sure.
Yer tiz.......
Don't laugh- but I love the colouration of the guava theme with the black of the orbit! - just don't like black with black
You can just.... see the tip of the "device unlock" padlock at the bottom of the screen. All is adjusted to optimum (as far as I can tell)- apart from the 2 points I mentioned at the start of the thread- owner info, and device lock shortcut.
Thanks again
Justin

Hi bro,
If you made some search through the net you would find the solution. I've made search, I've found the souliton.
Just try the attached file, I think that's exactly what you need...
Cheers,

cant you make the size of pocketbreeze plugin a little smaller?
Or just reduce the size of SPB Diary... in worst case there appears a scroll bar in the Diary window...
SPB diary, and pocket plus have been made as small as possible. The scroll bar to the right is what I am trying to get rid of, ans the today screen extends down too far.
zsitvayb- thanks mate- that zip file has allowed me to shortcut the device lock onto the spb tabs. This has reduced the info at the bottom, and lost me the scroll bar. Can now see 5 days of wether- not 4!!
Would still be interested though in any way of tinkering with the owner info appearance on the today screen....
Remove your soft keys
I use wisbar advanced3, it has the option of removing the soft keys from the today screen, then using AEButton plus I made the soft key buttons have the same function as they originally did, soft key/1 press, contacts/long press, and I have lost no functionallity at all with a bit more real estate. Hope that makes sense. Also the features of WA3 are great and your today screen would look even better with some nice WA3 icons on the taskbar. If only it was free.
Thanks unique boy (tempted to call you uniqua- but unless you have young kids, or are a student you may not know the "backyardigans"!!).
Understand what you are saying- interesting idea. Does the wisbar affect speed at all??

That's not quite true. Remove one of the tabs (in Diary settings). After that you can decrease the height by another 20 picsels or so.
But this would then lose the fuctionality that I built up???
Use this cab to remove soft keys

If you are using SPB 2.5.5 you can make the tabs horizontal and then add a custom tab and inside the custom TAB move the weather or any other today plugin...!
Like what I have done on my screen...
cheers
Have you tried using slide to unlock.
I find this great and you wouldnt need the lock icon on the screen.
Just a though and help you need pm me
WA3
As far as I can tell WA3 does not slow down my artemis. The skin I use is called "reflections" it can be found on lakeridge's forum. Nice new wait cursor, lovely cascading menus, float window. I like it.
Thanks to all- certainly a few ideas there to try.
Keep up the good work- invaluable resource!!!!!!

Looks great, will give it a try (and your carbon theme) when i finish with all the family Christmas fun.
Hopefully i will get some free time soon to get stuck into themes myself. Need to send the wife and kid on holiday for any chance of that though!
lol metal thats funny. Well when you get the chance please report back what you liked and what you didn't like about the install instructions, theme functionality and anything else you think I could have done better.
best of luck with the family and happy holidays!!
Just had a quick (i mean quick as well) look at the ipod theme.
GREAT THEME
Just a couple of things for the install instructions that might help people new to WAD.
You may not hace a themes folder in Wisbar folder, just create one.
To get to seetings in point 1, touch and hold anywhere on the screen.
Can i confirm that to unlock you just slide left to right. It got me sweating a bit when i thought my phone was locked with no way to get in. Tapping the screen like a nutter
Just going to have a look at your other theme now.
Would these be easy enough to make as a landscape version as well?
great feedback!!!!! updated the install instructions in post 1 and in the download.
Iphone theme
Hi Mallman
greatlooking theme - I am very new to WAD2 it looks like its got an amazing amount to give to HD owners.
How can I change the links to my own programs ie tomtom etc want to keep the icons but keep getting an error, did I say I was NEW to this !!
cheers
Jon
JPW,
If you access the menu (tap and hold on screen) and select 'author mode'
After that, tap and hold over the icon you want to change and change the link it has to the program

exactly right, and actions assigned to icons, text or anything else are known as "scripts". added to FAQ by the way
Great work on this and other themes Mallman! A question though, it seemed that the 'lock' button just refers to a page with a lock on it, and this page in turn refers back to the starting page of the theme.
Is it possible to have this button actually lock your device? Because locking my device also locks my volume buttons because I got so anoyed with constantly changing volume while i carry the device around.
Thx again for the work you are putting into this!

it probably is. In fact if you are running S2U2 (which I am not and dont really like) you could link the red lock icon to S2u2 and eliminate that start page altogether. Let me go see what can be done using only windows locking function. I just dont like using third party locking programs. Seem to cause me more headache than anything for answering the phone lol.
ps. thanks for your kind words as well.
Yeah I don't like the third party locking either. And although you can lock the phone with the powerbutton for some reason i also want the option to use the default software lock.
When i have some time on my hands I will venture into WAD2 themes myself, I'm decent with designing and so far understand the things possible with WAD2 (quite alot!).
Also something you might want to include in your starting posts is that these themes are made for WWE roms. I'm running a Dutch rom myself so basicly not a single button works on installation, not that i mind because its quite easy to replace them with the 'dutch links'.

ok after much research, the only thing I can get to work without using a third party locking app is to lock the device my shutting the screen off. This serves the exact purpose you are referencing. What it doesn't do is require an unlock, just have to press the top power button to turn on. I really love this feature now and it keeps the door open for those who want to install the third party apps. I have delete the lock page now so version 1.3 will have this feature with the useless lock page deleted. thanks for the input
and for everyone's knowledge, You cant call the lock function of the phone with an executable file. Seems it is in a dll somewhere and i just dont feel like messing with all of that
In addition to this and the Carbon Fibre themes, because I moved all of the exe's from the Programs folder into sub folders such as Entertainment, System Tools, Productivity, then none of the start links work. However, if you go into Author mode, press and hold, then select Properties, you can change the script application/link and Bob is your Aunt's husband
Good work.

lmoa, bob...
yes that is correct. I will be releasing a new version of Carbon Fiber tonight with a new system sliding doc attached to the start button instead of the start menu. this eliminates the dependency on WA3. I have also removed the "locked" page because 2 new buttons appear on the slider which can lock/turn off your screen and soft reset. A new analog vs digital clock function has been installed which makes the clock act as the TF3D clock does when you slide your finger up or down (switching from analog to digital). But look for that tonight
Excellent. I have now managed to change the order of the pages Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home which means the most used pages are a single slide left or right from the front page.
You are right about putting things down on paper otherwise it turns into a nightmare trying to work out where you are. Several times I got caught in a loop and had to use the 'home' button to get back to the desktop.
Regards
Hi,
Very nice theme !!
Gloc, how do you can for that that tips Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home ?
Best regards

So my friend was raving about this lock screen she saw once and it was a puzzle, I believe it came from a Samsung Galaxy, anyone have any ideas on how to obtain said lock screen?
Strange
would love to have puzzle lock
You mean like 9 dots you have to connect in some order?
Thats already built-in in my Desire.
No its literally like a puzzle. Like pieces you move around. Not the Dot lock screen
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App
+1 I have been using my backup Captivate due to power button issues (anyone know of an app to bring up the power menu for proper shutdowns?) and I do like the puzzle lock too... Anything I can provide for someone who knows what to do?
Hi all , i'm a new windows phone user and i'd like to have an a call reminder app like bln on my samsung galaxy s.
This app it simply let the buttons to light up when you receive a new text, email, or missed call, which means you won’t need to unlock the screen to discover a notification.
If this is not possible maybe you can develop an app that will make the phone ring every tot minutes.
Unfortunately i'm not a devloper and i'm not enought skilled to help... give you an idea is the only thing that i can do !
I think this would be a top seller app !
Is it really that hard to look at your lockscreen? Every new notification is on it!
I know, that this kind of app is a must need at Android, but at WP every new notification is showing clearly at the lockscreen - you don't need to unlock it, just look at it...

i don't understand becouse u have to make polemics... if you are not interested simply don't answear to the post.
Anyway this is the only feature that i miss and well is not the same thing as u described , with this app you can simply watch the phone wherever it is and see if there is some miss notification instead to take the phone and push the button !
that kind of replies I believe it's useless. Anyway, I agree with you. In the dark it is very usefull and even in the daylight. What I thought about, since I have a optimus 7 witch doesn't have lights under phisical buttons, is that a corner of the screen could be highlighted, or even different corners, so that you don't have to lighten your screen every time, especialy when you are in a meeting or something.
it would be nice if we have sound call reminder

there is a similar app on android called no led, i tried it but it was a battery drain becouse even if you light only a screen corner all the screen is on!
yes, I can't believe a call reminder app is not available till now. How can one use the phone without it? even WM6.5 have it, how can a supposedly 'improved' WP system not have it? a sound reminder every few minutes will be fine, I won't be checking on the lock screen every few minutes just to see if I have any missed calls!!

I realise that the sense lock screen seems to run interdependently from the ICS lock screen. Which means I can disable the ICS lock screen, but I will still encounter the sense lock screen. That kinda sucks.
I have used apps like "No Lock" but it takes ages to wake up the device and is buggy.
Any guys have any idea? I'm not really keen not having any lock screen...
Thanks for reading!
dun think u can do it yet...
I agree, that's just an idiotic design. If I use any method of securing my phone, it takes three tasks to get in:
* Press power button
* Drag silly ring around
* Perform ICS unlock task (face, pin, whatever)
That's just daft. HTC, if you're listening, you need to provide a way to disable your lock screen.
for all there want theres lockscreen gone get
