SLock - New X1 Screen Lock - Check out the latest version- its an X1 must have !!!! - XPERIA X1 General

SLock
Does what is says on the tin, it locks the screen, not any of the hardware buttons. Its a lite lock.
I created this because the native lock used by the X1 needs to be enabled with a Today screen plug-in, which takes up too much space on your Home Screen. Also when not being used it doesn't run on in the background, affecting performnace and using resources. Its just on or off.
How to use SLock.
Unzip and copy to your X1. Tap the file and your screen locks.

Tap the screen anywhere, the unlock symbol appears, tap it and the screen unlocks.

Simple....SLock.
Any calls, texts or emails that come through to your phone with Slock on can be handled in the normal way, it does not interfere with any phone functions whatsoever, it simply locks the screen.
I have a shortcut to SLock on my Today screen, one tap I know my screen is locked, 2 taps and its unlocked.
SLock is provided as Freeware and is for personal use.

Also S2U Lock runs in the background when not being used affecting performance slightly.
How to use SLock.
1) After youve unzipped the download, copy anywhere on your X1.
2) If you have Pocket Plus 4, or other program launcher, just paste a link to SLock on your Home Screen for an easy, one tap lock.
3) When activated with a tap a locked symbol appears on your phone to confrim the screen is locked, then fades away to leave a black screen, to prevent screen burn and save battery resources.

If you have your X1 set to auto dim that will also kick on and completely turn the screen off as normal. Turn on again with quick press of power button as per normal.
To unlock simply tap the screen anywhere to bring up the unlock symbol, tap the unlock symbol, SLock ends quickly, your phone is ready to use.

There is only a powerpoint file in the zip file?

ET- Tap the file and your screen locks, tap the screen and tap the unlock symbol and the screen unlocks.
This is an example of how easy it is to customise SLock with your own background screen to make it your own.

You'll be tapping your screen on and off all day
Enjoy !
( I hope this passes the censors, iv seen worse on Strictly Come Dancin )
To celebrate the launch of SLock on the X1 the first 3 members to post pictures on this thread I will custmise SLock with there photo and post it back on this thread for them to use free of charge.

My native lock work just fine without enabling the today plugin, just hold red button(hang up) for a while and its lock ^^

GOF007 - Thanks for sharing, I didn't know this, that is useful. Its given me an idea of mapping SLock to a hardware button.

It is good to have a graphical lock screen ^^. The original one is very plain and cannot be customize.
SLock would do a great job if it highly customizable in term of layout and background, and work in place of native lock(on the holding red button).

"Mini S2U"

Source Code Finally Posted...
Sorry it took so long to post the source. I haven't been monitoring this thread for some time due to other time demands. A recent email reminded me that I promised to release the source, so here ya go...
Release 6 Notes Below...
About a week ago, I was looking for an app that would lock my wizard when it came out of suspend. I use a bluetooth headset for all my calls, so I rarely remove my phone from its carrier. However, while talking, I tend to move around and frequently the hang-up button would be pressed resulting in a disconnect.
Frustrated, I looked at a few apps. I really like the "Slide to Unlock" feature in the iPhone-like app S2U. It more or less suited my needs. However, my bluetooth headset wouldn't work with S2U installed.
Thus I set about writing an app that would "lock" the phone whenever it came out of suspend mode. The result is the app, LockDown, attached to this post. Once run, LockDown sits in the background waiting for "resume" event. At this time, it locks all keys and prevents any stylus events save one - a "Slide right to unlock" slider control. As with S2U, once the thumb tab is slid all the way to the right, the keys are unlocked and the unit once again responds to the stylus. Also note that LockDown only takes up 5k of memory.
LockDown has been tested on TNT.1933 (WM6) for the Wizard. It's compiled as a PPC 2003 app, so in theory it should also work on WM5 and any PPC 2003 devices. I've tested it with my Visual Studio WM5 and PPC emulators, and it worked fine. However, it couldn't test it on the real deals.
It's a new app. While I'm not experiencing any problems, please consider it beta for now. As such, don't wire it up as an auto-start link until you've run with it awhile and are certain it works as advertised. For now, I suggest just copying it to your \windows folder and linking to it there. If you have any problems, please report them, and I'll address them ASAP.
Release 6 Notes
The slider bug was fixed.
The Message option was fixed.
Application Invocation
Lockdown [-lock] [-close]
With the -lock parameter, the application starts in lock mode.
With the -close parameter, the application is removed from memory (if running).
Registry Options in Folder \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lockdown\Slider
Position (DWORD, 0):
If set to 0, the slider is centered.
If > 0, the slider is positioned X pixels below the "Top Taskbar".
If < 0, the slider is positioned X pixels above the "Bottom Taskbar".
Padding (DWORD, 2):
Pixel offsets for slider arrow from the left and right edges of the slider window.
Message (String, "Slide right to unlock.")
The text message displayed in the slider window.
TextColor (DWORD, 00FFFFFF hex):
Color of slider message. Note that the HEX color format is 00BBGGRR where BB is blue, GG is green, and RR is red.
FontPoint (DWORD, 16):
The font size of the slider message.
PenColor (DWORD, 00F04050 hex):
Color of the slider arrow.
BackgroundColor (DWORD, 00CCCCCC hex):
Color of the slider background.
WidthMultiplier (String, .92):
Must be a floating point value. Multiply this value with the lesser value of the desktop height or width (in pixels) to determine the slider width.
For example: If the desktop display is 240 by 320 and the WidthMultiplier is 0.9, the slider width is 216 (240 X .9) pixels.
HeightMultiplier (String, .22):
Must be a floating point value. Multiply this value with the lesser value of the desktop height or width (in pixels) to determine the slider height.
TabWidthMultiplier (String, 1.5):
Must be a floating point value. Multiply this value with the calculated slider height to determine the width of the slider arrow.
Note that the height of the arrow is always equal to the height of the slider.
EnableAnswer (DWORD, 1):
If set to 1, the answer button is enabled during an incoming call period (while the phone is ringing).
If set to 0, the answer button is always disabled.
EnableIgnore (DWORD, 1):
If set to 1, the ignore button is enabled during an incoming call period (while the phone is ringing).
If set to 0, the ignore button is always disabled.
After the installation, only the Position key will be present in the registry. I figure that most users will only tweak this value.
To modify the other parameters, add the appropriate keys with the defined types as shown in parenthesis. The default values are also listed in the parenthesis.
If you decide to tweak these parameters, please remove any shortcut to Lockdown from the StartUp folder. While I've taken steps to prevent "bad" values in these parameters, I still suggest this precaution.
Please note that Lockdown must be terminated and restarted before any changes to registry settings take effect.
As always, if you have any issues, please let me know.

Very Great app...im sure many will find it useful
Does not work on my CDMA Touch
Tried it out but does not run on my CDMA touch.

today plugin s2u
it was a dream cam true if was a today plugin, to the left...lock, to the right ...unlock, but in the today,
I use my standard windows lock today plugin, without the lock buttons, so when i touch any buttom , the backlight goes on (to see the clock and appointments in one clic).
today plugin s2u is the rigth way.

as he said...it sits behind the screen..and waits for the resume event
Here's a screen shot as per request. It's very plain jane. I wasn't looking for the beauty of something like S2U. I merely wanted a functional app that didn't take up much real estate (5kb).
Once it's gone through the paces and looks to be bug-free, I'll release the code and you can tweak to meet your needs.
It gives a black screen with white text in the center of screen saying "Slide right to unlock." There is a box with a plain white slider. You cannot see your today screen.
edit: Sorry, had the page open while I tested it and did not notice your reply before posting.
is it me or do we really need another "slide to unlock" app to mimic the iphone. There's already S2U Pro & S2U2.
What's funny, is that yeah these are cool but are they really needed? If you setup the device button lock correctly, then what's the point of a S2U app? All it does is add one more step to getting to your today page....

To each his own, but i run S2U2 because it allows me to operate my phone via bluetooth while the buttons are locked. The builtin lock doesn't let me do that.

Hmm, never had that problem with bulit-in lock. Yes, to each their own. I've installed/uninstalled S2U2 soooo many times. I love the app but end up finding that it serves me no real purpose (other then eye candy) and it gets uninstalled. New version comes out, installed for a about 3-4 hours, then uninstalled again.
Very Nice...can i Request something?
Hi
Thanks for the nice application
very small, problem free so far (on Eten M700 with WM6) & useful
Can i have 3 requests please:
1- can you make the slider spring back to the left if it was accidentaly moved to the right, right now it stays half way & i think if you make it spring back it will be more safe as a lock & it will look better too
2- can you make the slider button wider (double) so i can catch it with my fat fingers
3- can you add an icon, so i may put it in my today launcher list & it would look better than the plain white square, something like a lock or key or a hand can do.
I also noticed that sometimes as i come out of the suspend mode, the slider is either late to appear (1-2 sec) & may remain unresponsive for two or three trys to slide it to right (stays in place)
Once started i couldn't figure how to get rid of it & seems that only way is to soft reset to go back to normal wake up without locking
Hope these comments help..thanks again for nice work

Those apps you mentioned take a ****load of memory and add to battery drain because of all the animations and graphics. His is a simple slide function that sips memory and battery life. Very useful IMO. Sliding is good cuz I find unlocking the WM way to be annoying. I have to touch an icon to lock. Then to unlock, I have to press two buttons. With sliding, it locks automatically and unlocking is accompished in one simple motion.
You're right that there's already enough S2U programs.
I also think S2U2 is an awesome balance between beauty and speed/mem cost. For people who have only tried S2U, you really need to change to S2U2... WAY faster and stable!
In most cases, yes S2U isn't that necessary, as it's similar an extra step to get to your today page, but I need it because:
1) My alarms don't wake if the phone is on standby, so I put it onto S2U2 mode when I sleep
2) My audio manager doesn't go to the next song if the phone is on standby, so I have to lock my phone while listening using S2U2
I question how good it'll be to have Slide 2 Lock as a today plugin, since I don't need some extra waste of space. What I do is set the gesture right-to-left (using FTouchFlo) to execute S2U2 so when I slide right to left, it opens S2U2, then sliding left to right, unlocks it. Love it!

I hate to say it, but that's not quite true. If you setup the lock all buttons, sure you won't accidentally turn it on, but if you get a phone call, it doesn't just power right off (at least my 6700 doesn't) - it can and has made phone calls like that...
And as for the S2U/2 - they use quite a bit more memory than this. A 5k program use is great, although I won't use it because I like the clock on s2u2.
Great App
This is all I ever really wanted. Just a very simple slide unlock. simple.
Excellent.
thanks.
This simple slide to unlock app is perfect for my needs...Thanks!
The point here is WJames created an application for his own use and shared it with everybody. If someone think that it is not req. they might not use it. Anyway thanks for the nice little app.
Thanks! Great small app. Would be fantastic with a simple white clock above the lock bar though, so we could check the time on the phone without unlocking it. Thanks a bunch!

[REQ] Disable Touch Panel from shortcut

I have tried to make this myself but im not the best at c# I was hoping someone would like to write a small app that disables and enables the touch panel without using the gsensor or light sensor or nav sensor. i want to use this with a mort script so it would launch the app to disable touch panel then run the rest of the script then launch the app to enable it. i don't care if its two separate apps. if someone can help i would appreciate it so much. thanks
This isn't an actual shortcut, its a bit better than that if you ask me.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-sensorlock.html
Basically you just spin the phone in your hands and it will lock, watch the video, it shows what to do
I've also found an application called sleep, I used that for a while but now I'm on WinMo 6.5 and I just use the lock button instead. Just do a quick google for a program called sleep, shouldn't be too hard to find.
And also there is an inbuilt lock thingie where you can set your phone to lock the screen if you hold down the end call button for like 5 seconds but that one is a bit of a pain cause you gotta hold it for ages before it locks and then when you try to unlock it is hard especially if youre outside with the sun shining.

question about SIP default
i know this may not be the most appropriate thread to put this question on, my apologies. From the title I thought it may be. Anyhow, I installed phm registry editor and am trying to learn to use it, but not sure how to find something im wanting to change. My SIP default seems to be that anytime i open my sms inbox, or email, etc, my keyboard pops up without me selecting it to do so. I want to change it so it only pops up when I select the little tab/icon to MAKE it pop up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance.

WM6.5 lock screen delay fix

I want to start this threat to put together information in order to sort out why the device lock delay (see below) appears and how to solve it.
wm6.5 device lock app has changed from "tap here and next there" to a slider style like app you know from s2u2.
problem:
device lock is enabled
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable=1
wake up the device by short pressing the power button
device lock screen is displayed instantly
it takes ~2 seconds until the slider of the device lock screen is activated and can be slided.
if you use device lock it becomes really annyoing.
there are some threads about this like this one, but the solution is not working on a Touch HD.
can anybody sched some light onthe problem why and where it appears or maybe someone already found a solution.
please post any useful information.
please do not post tips like use s2u2 or any other locking app - I do not want to use them.
the only thing i can thing of is use s2u2 or any other locking app

latest build 23001 still has this annoying delay
Iv noticed this too... The biggest annoyance for me is you turn the device on and the backlight isnt very bright, makes it near impossible to see the screen in daylight. Is it possible to have the backlight come on full when you press the power button?
i have this problem too. i think it is a serious bug of wm6.5
just hoping it will be fixed when the official release come out.
god i thought i was the only one, something about my config...
and i was exited about the new 6.5 lock screen,
but then it works like all the other M$ 6.5 sh!t, it doesn't
had to switch away from it

thanks for your help - but that was the solution i am talking about in my first post and unfortunately does not work.
also find this intensely annoying! if you look, on my hd, in the top left corner a small windows flag appears to indicate that the slider is locked, it disappears once the slider is active, and there is a definite exact time out, i dont think its random or a load time
hope this is sorted cos its rubbish!

What I've done that got rid of most of the delays regarding the lock screen on my Xperia:
I got 6 cpr files from my device's /Windows directory: LS_LockScene_xxxxxxx.cpr, LS_AlarmScene_xxxxxxx.cpr and LS_PhoneAlertScene_xxxxxxx.cpr. Get files that fit the resolution of your device, they are in pairs for portrait and landscape
opened each one of them in a text editor (they are XMLs inside)
removed all "ControlSequence" sections from them (those sections are small (like 4 entries) and big (up to 21 entries). These sections are animations of arrows. Arrows will still be there after that, they just won't animate.
uploaded cpr files back to /Windows, overwriting originals
soft-reseted.
Hope it works on your devices too

yeah. and with 6.5 23003 onwards in the top right corner an "X" (for close) appears. only when it goes off you can access the slider.
it seems as if an app is started.

great. that helped a lot!
now the lock screen is flickering shortly and the whole lock screen slides in once more from the bottom to the top but then the slider is instantly accessible.
from a time perspective a great improvement!
update:
basically you can delete the whole layer
Code:
<Layer ID="SlidePath" >
...
</Layer>
which removes the animation of the arrows and the arrows themselves.
do not delete this section if you do not know in which direction to slide the button
however, the delay is still ~1 second. but i think i can live with that allthough it is annoying to wait one stupid second to proceed
the delay you get when recieving a call with lockscreen on is caused by the slide to answer feature of alot of the new dialers. it conflicts with the popup call answer screen with wm 6.5. to fix this can find a dialer that doesnt have slide to answer feature. the backlight problem came from backlight.dll in the kaiser, using a new one from stock rom now and it works perfect
If you enable the enter a pin number after slide, there is no delay at all. I know this isnt a solution i hate entering a pin. however, i have a felling the pin app is running in the background and thus you dont get the flicker where it flicks from Start menu back to the lock app. Hence if you could create a dummy pin app, it could work to stop the delay.

that's true. i replaced LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr with an empty one and allthough not using pinlock, the lock app did not work at all.
What if we designed something where when you slide it calls a mortscript or something and enters 0000+OK to by pass the pin screen (assuming you set pin to 0000). Then you edit the Pin screen so it is just a clear page, so you dont even see the pin screen flash up.
Not sure if this is at all possible as im not a programmer. Just a thought

good idea. maybe someone can change LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr so that it does not expect the pin from screen but is embedded directly into the cpr file?
can anybody who has a better understanding of cpr files or the lock app give us some tips?

Screen Unlocking without pressing Home Button or Side Button Questions

Figured a way to unlock the screen without pressing the home or side button by going into settings > accessibility > dexterity and interaction > air wake up > on
3 questions
1) Does this functionality drain the battery considerably?
2) Is there an alternate way of waking up the phone without pressing the home and side button? Since this way it must start off on a flat surface?
3) Is there a way to getting to the homescreen without pressing the home button?
You can wake the device with Google Now or S Voice. This shouldnt drain the battery much.
You can add an assistant menu with the home key, back key and recent apps key onscreen, which is you can move around at your convenience.

hi ,
to me the easy way/fastest is to use a S view cover
Also i found in my past devices ( Note 3 and Note 2 with flip cover )
that S view could protect your device and you don't need a screenprotector !!
I set my N4 in Settings /Accessories if i open Sview cover, it unlocks lockscreen ,automatic
( For logical reasons it will only work if, none , swipe to unlock etc ..is enabled , not secure lock etc !)
See screenshot attached
i used air wake but it would sometimes pick up a wakelock and drain battery
To get to home screen i use a gesture app "GMD Gesture control "
Very good app and you can use any gesture (you register in app )
eg To open" Setting page " i just draw a "S" gesture any where on screen
the For "Home screen gesture" see the other screenshot
(But Yes unfortunately you need root for this ! )
good luck

No so sure I agree. I got the S View on release day as a hold over until I found a case I liked that was available. 1) when you have the cover opened, you can still accidentally scratch you screen (2) if you get dirt (even fine dirt) under the cover, you will rub it across your screen creating hairline scratches and swirls. Also, the S View leaves the top, bottom and side exposed a bit more than I was comfortable with.

You can wake the device with Google Now or S Voice. This shouldnt drain the battery much.
You can add an assistant menu with the home key, back key and recent apps key onscreen, which is you can move around at your convenience.

Thanks for the answer.
Don't like pressing the home button - Love the phone though.
I wish the battery doesn't get affected by either with the air wakeup or Google Now. I disabled S Voice (for speed and battery reasons), so most likely the waking up the device wont work.
It doesn't have a big impact on battery at all to leave either of them able to wake your device.

hi ,
i respect your viewpoint ,but if you read my post#3
i stated "that S view could protect your device and you don't need a screenprotector !!"
i used the word " could " i did not state " would/shall etc . protect your device !! "
I also realize that a hundred and one scenario's could happend to your device ?
Further each member " looks /cares " for there devices in different ways ?
I for one have it in S view case and if i go somewhere i place it in my moonbag with my wallet !
i am quite happy with this and if you feel you need screenprotecor ,no problem do it !!
I have used screen protectors years back ( eg htc "tynt and htc desire hd, samsung devices )
but on newer devices i am quite happy the the way i "carry it "
bottom line ,
at least your post shows to me, you also care about your device !!
Good luck

The air wakeup definitely drains a ton of battery x_x;; it kept my phone always awake.. however.. s-voice wakeup seems to be battery friendly! :3

Honor 7 features

Top 9: Features of Honor 7 do you know
1) knuckles EMUI3.1 screenshots is a highlight function, using the knuckles, double-click the interception of the full screen, or draw a closed pattern intercepts all screens.
2) Rapid capture : Speaking of screenshots, I must mention the rapid capture, these two functions in EMUI3.0 already have. Under black state, double-click the volume down button to capture successful time in about one second, the focus imaging is also very clear.
3) drop-down at the top of the screen - Open the "switch" - Long press a switch will be able to enter the function settings interface is really practical and easy to do.
4) the main screen or blank screen, you can open the search function down, and it will list the eight most recently used application.
5) double-click function. In Settings - gesture control - Double-click to open.
6) painting the letters to open applications, experience super like it! For example, under the black screen, the screen will be able to draw the letter M to open the music it!
7) long press the navigation bar small box "key task", recently used application will switch turns friends. Before you find this feature yet?
8) want to clean up the background, but do not want to clean up all at once, a separate clean-up and too much trouble. Do not upset, I'll give you Weapon! Just slide down the application in recent tab list and clear, that slide down application will be locked
