TouchLockPro v1.8 released 12/9/08
Edited by Big D5
Link to post with 1.8 cab HERE __________________________________________________ __________________________ There are already a lot of applications to disable touchpanel and/or hardware keys for the Touch Diamond and Pro. I added the next step of improvements on top of StylusLock: * lock using the Power button, BattClock and/or Stylus Sensor * auto-unlock by the Light Sensor * unlock using triple touch of the Capacitive Sensor * unlock using Stylus Sensor * unlock when on AC/USB power Great to have *ANY* application locked You do not accidentally press touchpanel/hardware buttons anymore, so you can put the phone safely in your pocket. Examples: * TouchFlo3D or any other Today Screen * GPS applications (Google Maps, Tom Tom, IGO8, OziExplorer) * Music player, Camera, Opera * Incoming call Features * Be able to put the phone in your pocket with touchpanel and all hardware buttons locked. * Avoid missed calls, by accidentally pressing the TouchPanel and hardware buttons. * With Bluethooth headset still incoming calls can be answered, although it is locked. * No effect on Battery life. * Consumes no CPU cycles (only in case of an Capacitive/Stylus/Power event, no polling). Check it with a Task Manager!! * Clock and battery percentage indicates Locked/Unlocked, pressing the indicator enables "lock mode" * The Light Sensor will automatically unlock in not too dark lighting conditions * Triple touch the capacitive hardware area at the same area to unlock, See screenshots * Use Stylus for locking/unlocking * Unlocked when on AC or USB power * Vibration when changing to locked when the screen or backlight is off * Possibility to overrule default behaviour How to install? * Deinstall the previous version of other locking programs (e.g. StylusLock, Answerkey disabler, SensorLock, S2U2) * Copy the TouchLockPro.x.y.CAB file from your computer to the Touch Diamond or Touch Pro Memory card * Go via the explorer of the Touch Diamond or Touch Pro to the location where you copied the .CAB file and click on it to start installation * Advice is to install it to the Phone memory and not to the Memory card, TouchLockPro is very small and so it also works in "DiskDrive" mode How to lock? Prerequisite: Stylus is IN, not on AC/USB power * Press the power button (AutoLockOnPowerOn) * Pressing the BattClock * Take OUT the Stylus and putting it back IN within 1 second How to unlock? * Wait till the Light Sensor unlocks automatically (default 5 seconds) in not too dark lighting conditions * Triple touch the capacitive hardware area at the same area within 3 seconds (the number of valid touches at the same area are shown instead of the battery life percentage) * Take OUT the Stylus * Attach to AC/USB power TouchLockPro is designed for the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, using their unique sensors: * Light Sensor * Capacitive NavSensor * Stylus sensor The Light Sensor will auto-unlock in not too dark conditions, when it senses light for more than 5 seconds. When it is too dark, use the triple capacitive touch approach, see below. The capacitive sensor has 3 main area's, indicated in the above figure, 1, 2, and 3. Some features: * Will not react on non-capacitive touches like Stylus. Nice when in your pocket too. * You only need to gently touch the area's, without pressing the hardware buttons underneath * TouchLockPro uses this feature for unlocking. Gently touch three times at the same area (without touching another area) within 3 seconds, to unlock the phone * With an incoming call, the best is to triple touch the answer area 1, to avoid missed calls when you accidently touch too hard and press the reject hardware button These 4 screenshots, from left to right, top to bottom, show the BattClock in action. * screenshot 1: if the phone is locked, the fore and background are reversed, showing the time and battery life percentage * screenshot 2: One capacitive touch is done and shown, when occurred, instead of the battery life percentage. If the 3 seconds have been elapsed, it is switched back to battery life percentage * screenshot 3: Second capacitive touch is done and shown. * screenshot 4: Third capacitive touch is done at the same place in time and the phone is unlocked. The normal background and forground of the battClock is shown. The locking behaviour can also be controlled with the Stylus sensor: * When the Stylus is out, the phone is always unlocked. * When the stylus is taken OUT and IN within 1 seconds, the "lock mode" is toggled. * When the Stylus is taken out, the phone awakens from sleep (you do not need to press the Power button) I am working now on the TouchLockPro Action Screen. It will be a separate program, for the following reasons: * It can be started via a shortcut, or via a Today Screen, or via Programs * It does not consume extra memory (only shortly, while executing) * It is written in C# (you cannot combine C++ and C# in 1 executable) The meaning of the action buttons, from left to right, top to bottom: First row: * Lock (and keep the display on) * Lock and suspend immediately (Power off) * Exit the Action screen Second row: * Configuration options (so you do not need to use a registry editor anymore, and easily switch between settings) * Show detailed battery details * Free RAM memory (Garbage collect, let other running applications free memory) Third row: * Soft reset your device * Power off the phone completely (you do no longer need to long press Power Off) * About screen Last edited by Big D5; 12-09-2008 at 11:45 PM. |

I agree with you hibby, I would like to be able to customize the clock. Works good, can't wait for the action screen.

im not a fan of the clock and battery meter myself...now that i look it...it displays the clock from this program right over top the clock already on the task bar...not sure why that is...i also like the battery meter with the battery logo and colored percentages better also...that will need to be addressed lol
