[WythDryden]

Coming as a vogue owner, what I did was place a blank white image (set to the size and resolution of the screen) in the programs folder and had it set to open with htc album. I assigned it to a hardware key (in my case it was the camera button if you held it, rather than just pressing it). I know it's not nearly the same, but it's about the best you can do, at least until the hardware hacks come into play.
