If I am using any program, say Calendar, and I put the Mogul to sleep with the power switch, then wake it up a few minutes later with the power switch, the phone always reverts back to the Today screen. I want to put it to sleep with my Calendar showing, and wake it up right where I left off (NOT taking me back to the Today screen.
Is this a bug, or is there a way I can set the device to always wake up at the same place it went to sleep?
Thanks.
I dont personally have Titan but there are 3 options:
1. Check Settings->Today->Items. Check if the Today timeout is turned on.
2. You have battery status app installed? Check the options for the Today screen wake up.
3. Check Settings->System tab->Power. Something about Today screen after wake up.
Good luck.

It's not a bug, simply enable the "Today Timeout" on your phone like vlodeck suggested.
Another option is to enable the "calendar" item to appear on the Today screen. If you're unhappy with lack of detailed information the "calendar" item provides when enabled, you may want to check out TodayAgenda. It's a free application that allows more customization, etc.... you can find it at http://www.tiews.info/index.php?show=&lang=en
On my HTC Touch, if you have a security password set it will always revert to the Today screen. Try disabling your password.

Thanks for your help. I have run all of these suggestions and found the answer.
1. Changing the Today timeout setting had absolutely no effect. Regardless of whether it was set on or off the screen went back to Today every time I woke it up.
2. I have no battery app installed. There is no Today setting under Power.
3. Calendar is enabled on my Today screen. This had no effect on reverting to Today when it wakes up.
4. The answer - Security Password. If a Password is enabled it reverts to Today every time it wakes up, but - weirdly enough - only if the password timeout has not expired. In other words, if you turn it on and don't need to put in your password yet it goes back to Today. If you do need to put in your password it goes back to where it was and not to Today. If no Password is set at all the screen wakes up where it left off.
This I do consider a Bug and I will be looking for a new Security Password program. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Glad you were able to figure it out. If you find that having your device password protected all together is just a hassle, you may want to try setting the phone up without the default settings. Basically, when you turned your phone on for the first time there were three applications that automatically ran during the setup process. Bypassing these three programs during the initial setup of your phone will eliminate the password protection altogether. It will also allow your phone to boot-up much quicker when soft-resetting, etc.... and possibly free more memory.
In order to bypass these installations you would have to hard reset your device. After hard resetting a small dialog box pops up stating something along the line of "your device will continue the setup in 3 seconds". If you allow the device to continue it will then install these three programs i've mentioned. To bypass their installation, simply do a soft reset before the 3 second dialog box disappears. Then go into windows/startup folder and delete all three entries.
Thanks, I'll work on it this weekend. Will I lose any other functionality than password protection? What do those three programs do?
Meantime, I do need a Security Password - I have too many sensitive items on my PDA for it to fall into the wrong hands. Obviously the WM6 Security Password has been a problem for me. Anyone used a third party security code that worked well?
Hi
Thanks to the forum, I have rooted my Nook touch. I can access my emails and the market. But nothing is protected.
Is it a way to add a password to the Nook? or how can I set up the apps so they asked for a password.
Thanks
Secure your hacked Nook
There seems no solution to this at this moment but there are some workaround security mitigations.
1. Do not connect public Wifi to use your Nook. Use your own private Wifi and turn on AP isolation (i.e. Wifi clients on the same WLAN are isolated)
2. Install on Nook adbWireless and control adb ON/OFF over wireless

Securing after TouchNooter 1.6.24
Would reverting to the original uRamdisk of the stock Nook touch make it secure?... i know it would make adb over wifi unavailable but if that is fine with me...
Somewhere on the forum is attached ramdisk that should enable adb over usb. The topic is something like "adb over usb"..
If you wish to lock single apps, I have had great luck with Protector. You can define any apps you want to be locked and when you try to open these apps, they ask for a password.

I have not tried it on the new Nook myself but give it a try.
Lock
Use GoLocker
Go locker does really add number lock (iphone style) or connect-the-dots lock (android style) but they tend to leave a shadow on the screen, which was bothersome enough for me to stop using, and the number lock would show the number before becoming a *, so someone could look over your shoulder and pick it up...
Almost good! But the best choice so far for entire NST locking so far!
GO Locker: so far, little luck
Downloaded Go Locker.
It detected an outdated Go Launcher; I approved the download.
Enabled Go Locker and specified a PIN.
Cycled power on the Nook.
Behavior change: I can select among Go Launcher, Go Locker and Home when I press the Home soft button on the right of the screen. Makes sense.
But no request for a PIN.
Perhaps I missed one or more configurations steps?
Any suggestions?
Best regards,

You need to set GO Locker as the default so you can't just press home to bypass the lock, and when you reboot it doesn't start immediately unfortunately. But next time you lock the screen it should be there.
Thanks. I set the Go Locker as the default, but I did not see the locking work after reboot, nor how to lock the screen manually.
But my main concern is that approximately 40% of the screen was going grey, making icons and text in that area unusable.
So I removed Go Locker for now.
Is documentation available somewhere? With a quick check of the developer site I did not see enough.

In this Noob Series we explore How To Change the Kindle Fire Lock Screen and Eliminate the Annoying Double Lock Screen. When you complete this Tutorial you will be able to have the Lock Screen look the way you want it to look. The software we use to replace the Kindle Fire Lock Screen is Magic Locker. We decided on Magic Locker since it is well supported and it offers several hundres Themes, so the Lock Screen can look the way you want it to look. If you do not like to work on the Kindle, our new software, Kindle Fire First Aide will automate this process in the next version - Production Version 4.2.4. You can obtain a copy of the software here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 - Version 4.2.4 will Root your Kindle Fire, Install Google Play, Install Google Apps, Install this Custom Locker, Automated ADB Driver Install and an Additional 40 other Automated Operations! We attempt to keep this tutorial updated regularly - adding information from the end users experience. We have recently upgraded the storage servers to increase uptime, you now have two options for the downloads both are ad free. Option one is a Dropbox Storage Server and Option two is a Ubuntu One Storage Server, if one is under maintenance you may use the other download link. When you are done with the tutorial, please take the time to post feedback, this is very important to us - without your feedback, we have no way of knowing if we are doing our job. Finally, if you feel we did a decent job, please think about donating to us using the "Donate to Me" button - this is how we make a living, without your kind donations we would no longer be able to do this for a living.
If you prefer and are into your own custom Photos you may edit the photos in the original Kindle Fire HD and 2 Lock Screen. This requires a solid knowledge of Photoshop or some other picture editor like GIMP that can change the photo size to 1280x800. If this is your preference, move down to Post #2 below. Post #1 will allow you to do just about anything to the Locker and you do not need Photo Editor knowledge plus Post #1 supports over 1000 Themes.
Prerequisites:
1. Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire HD 8.9" or Kindle Fire 2
2. Rooted Kindle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
3. Google Play: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
Custom Locker Step 1. Using Google Play, search for "No Lock". Download and Install No Lock - You may use this link to verify the software: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
Custom Locker Step 2: DO NOT Open No Lock, it will fail. Next, go to the Kindle, open up ES File Explorer or Root Explorer
Custom Locker Step 3: Be sure to enable Superuser on ES File Explorer. Navigate to /data/app, find org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk - long press on the APK, select Move or Move To. Next, Move org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app.
Custom Locker Step 4: Next find org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk in /system/app. Long press and Choose Permissions (on Root Explorer) or Properties (on ES File Explorer). Change the Permissions to: Owner: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read - Click OK to apply the Permissions.
Custom Locker Step 5: DO NOT Open No Lock. Pull down the Upper Status Bar, Select More+, Select Sounds & Display and change the Screen Timeout to: Never and then reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 6: Once the Kindle is back to the desktop, open No Lock which is found in the Kindle Apps, select "Locking disabled".
Custom Locker Step 7: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Main which you can find here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker - Download and Install Magic Locker Main
Custom Locker Step 8: Be sure to enable Superuser on ES File Explorer. Navigate to /data/app, find mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk - long press on the APK, select Move or Move To. Next, Move mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app.
Custom Locker Step 9: Next find mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk in /system/app. Long press and Choose Permissions (on Root Explorer) or Properties (on ES File Explorer). Change the Permissions to: Owner: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read - Click OK to apply the Permissions.
Custom Locker Step 10: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Theme - Download and Install a few Themes that interest you. I use Starry lock screen and Jelly Bean lock screen.
Custom Locker Step 11: Launch MagicLocker Main, click on Next, Next, Next - You will now see a popup, click Next and choose Clear Defaults until it Grays Out, click on the picture of a house (Home Button), you will be asked which Launcher to Use, you choose MagicLocker Main <Select Default>.
Custom Locker Step 12: Launch MagicLocker Main, sometimes you are taken to your regular Launcher App, if this happens repeat Step 11. Select "Lost Robot Music" and click Apply. Next MagicLocker applies the Theme and asks if you would like to Customize it, answer Yes or No depending on your interests. I selected No so we can move on. You can always customize it latter.
Custom Locker Step 13: Next MagicLocker will show you an example of the Theme. Unlock it by pulling down the circle in the Android Picture.
Custom Locker Step 14: Now we need to customize the way MagicLocker reacts when you unlock to the Left which is a Phone Call and when you unlock to the Right which is a SMS Application. Unlock straight down just unlocks the screen.
Custom Locker Step 15: OK, lock the Kindle by depressing the Power Button for 1 brief Second until the screen turns black. Depress the Power Button briefly again, you will see the lock Screen. Unlock to the Right, next you are asked which is your SMS Software, I use Go SMS Pro. Check the Box to "Always use this application". Unlock to the Left, next you are asked which is your Phone Software, I use Google Voice and Groove. Check the Box to "Always use this application".
Custom Locker Step 16: Next, let's install the Themes. Find the name of the Themes you downloaded in Step 8. In this example we picked Starry lock screen and Jelly Bean lock screen. So go into the Apps. Find Starry lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install this theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the MagicLocker main Theme Menu. Exit MagicLocker, then go to Apps, find Jelly Bean lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install this theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the MagicLocker main Theme Menu.
Custom Locker Step 17: Now we need to let MagicLocker know what is your Default Launcher, so launch MagicLocker, find Preferred Home Launcher, click on Preferred Home Launcher and select your Launcher, we use Nova Launcher Prime.
Custom Locker Step 18: Let's eliminate the Ads from ever appearing again. Open either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app find the dtcp_apk.ap, long press dtcp_apk.apk select Rename. Rename dtcp_apk.apk to dtcp_apk.old.
Custom Locker Step 19: Reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 20: Whenever you reboot, the Kindle Fire Framework starts before anything else, so you may see the Kindle lock screen at Reboot IF you do not let everything start. If you can not wait 5 to 10 minutes, unlock it and let all the services start, usually 10 minutes is sufficient. Once you unlock it, you will notice there are no more Ads! After 10 minutes No Lock Service kicks in and disables the Kindle Fire Lock Screen. We have attempted to play with the start-up timing and ended up with Framework missing, so Amazon was smart when they thought out this function. Also, the service that controls the lock screen is part of the same group that displays the Kindle Framework when you unlock it. Finally, if you do wait 10 minutes you will never see the old Kindle Fire Lock Screen!
That is it! Next we will offer you a solution with the stock lock screen but you will need high resolution photos to make it function properly. Be sure to look at our new Backup and Recovery Software for the Kindle Fire Series: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Thank you for the tutorial, ill give it a whack tomorrow. The slide lock doesnt bother me much,i actually prefer it... but i wanna disable it just because i wanna have full control of my device. Take that amazon!
please delete. question was answered already once reread.
Thank you for this guide. I took the Golocker instead of the Magiclocker and it worked as a charm as well.
The only issue I still have, is the “star“ favorite button in the lower right corner. Although the “home“ button has been disabled within the locker software, the star is still active. Think, it's the same with Magiclocker, isn't it?

Yes, I am referring to the lower right soft key. But - I'm glad with it (honestly I'm used to it) and don't want to change the bar.
A possible solution is to empty the favorite function, but maybe there is another one...
Gave this a whirl last night. Sweet. Thanks for this tutorial. After following the instructions in the OP I waited at least ten minutes for all the services to start. I am finding during a reboot the Kindle lockscreen appears; no ads. Unlock and use as normal. It is after the Kindle enters sleep mode then the Magiclocker lockscreen appears and I never see the Kindle lockscreen. Is this functioning correctly. I may have mis-read but thought the Kindle lockscreen will never appear (presumed this to be true after rebooting as well).

There's a chance that on reboot the original lock screen will appear. You should see it when the dpi is below 180.
Way to still view offers without lock screen
This worked great for me thanks. I am wondering though if there is a way to view offers under the offers section with the amazon launcher, but not in the lock screen. I wouldn't mind knowing some of the special offers when they are books.

Callum77,
Yes, we are aware of this problem. If you Open Magic locker before we instruct you to do so, it breaks Magic Locker. This is why we state to NOT open Magic Locker until we instruct you to open it. We use Nova Launcher as well, it works beautifully with Nova Launcher.
Please DO NOT open Magic Locker until you are instructed to open the application.

I am glad you used this thread with your preferred software. That is the idea, to spark someone to do something different.
I do have to say, Magic Locker will force the Kindle locker to diable, I am not sure if Go Locker will perform the same task. Post your results when done.
No, Magic Locker does not disable the Home button. Magic locker uses the Home button directly and routes your Launcher through Magic Locker.

I have been thinking about it, Go Locker will not work like Magic Locker. You see, Magic Locker manages the overall Framework, thus Blacklisting any application from attempting to lock the screen. Maybe you can integrate the Home button into Go Locker? Magic Locker leaves the Home button in tact.:good:

blklab49,
The Kindle Lock screen will appear on the first boot if you quickly unlock it, after this first reboot Magic Locker takes over and you should never see the Kindle Lock screen unless you quickly unlock it after a reboot. Magic Locker is a service, so it has to initialize which take a few seconds after startup. Having said this, if you reboot and quickly (1-2 seconds) attempt to unlock the Kindle you may see the old lock screen. After my first reboot, I never saw the Kindle Lock screen again, it is gone!
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments.
