ROM that can lock with Password set?

I am a noob to all of this. I have tried a couple of different ROMs (Mighty and KK) and both were really excellent. But I have went back to a stock ROM because I can not lock the phone if I have a password set. I usually set a simple password and then set the long press end key to use as lock.

But I found (on both) that if you have a password set, you can not manually lock the phone. As I would really like to be able to set a password, this is a deal breaker for me. But I really like the cooked ROMs.

Does anyone know a ROM that can have a password set and can be manually locked easily? Rather than having to try and flash every ROM and see if it works.

Thanks in advance.

Re: ROM that can lock with Password set?

No, it will not lock except with the time limit (e.g. lock after 15 min). Also, if I disable the password, the long press end key will then lock the phone. Therefore the feature is still there. Sorry if I was not clear before.

But, thank you for the reply.

I understand what your saying, just tried what you're talking about.

But can't you just use the power key to turn the phone off and it locks with the password? Thats working for me. I don't have the auto lock set to lock at 15 minutes, rather at 0 minutes. So when I turn the phone off it locks with the passcode.
