On the stock TP rom from Verizon there's a little app called "Long Press End" that allows you to lock the phone if you hold down the end key. Does anyone have a cab for it? I could always install S2U2 but it's heavy and these phones are gimped as it is.

The man behind this rom, swinn, got me started on this small app called DeviceLock. It works great and does just what it needs to do, starts the built in Lock from WM6.5. I map it to my left softkey, but you can map it to whatever you want really.

From what I've seen, locking is the default action of the long press end key in 6.5 and requires no extra software. Try this:

1. Go to Settings->System->Keyboard Config
2. Click and hold on "NAVI_END" and select "Edit"
3. Where it says "Event", select "Long Press"
4. Where is says "Action", click the button that looks like "..."
5. Change the action type to "Default key action" and enable "Extended emulation"
6. Click OK, OK, then click the left soft key to update changes.
7. Exit Keyboard Config and test the long press end key.

Another option is to use DeviceLock which is a small program that you can assign to any button or whatever to lock the device.

Maybe I should cook it into the ROM and assign it to the end key so it would work more like the default behavior.

I think that's a good idea.

Are there other dialer skins that work well with this version of WM? I tried a Taichi (sp?) dialer skin that someone cabbed.. and it left my phone in a horrible state and I had to hard reset. Any other popular dialers?

I've done this.. however it doesn't lock the phone.

I've used this one without any problems on this rom.

I have my end key hold mapped to task manager. . . I guess locking my phone would prevent pocket activation. I like my music and all, but it's weird when it starts playing at seemingly random times-- which isn't so bad except I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to the rest of the song. You know how it is.

Maybe cold weather + crummy screen protector = UI fail for me. I did have my phone out in 12 F during a run and I swear the thing literally froze.

I've been training myself to use the hardware buttons, lately.
