How to: Device/Key Lock (4 Different Ways!)

[Malatesta]

Just a quick update: I put back up Jusi77 device lock. I've been running since Sunday and have no more issues--so I'm attributing the problem to another program (probably SPB Imageer).

Quick question--there's a Buttons Settings that locks all buttons except Power when the device is off. What's the purpose of the Today screen device locks?

Some times, like if you miss a phone call, the PPC can come on in the case. If it is unlocked the PPC screen can be taped opening applications and even make phone calls without your knowledge. Hope this helps

Indeed you do need the ROM upgrade in order to do any of these--they all play off of the built in device lock that comes with AKU 2+.

it's been looked at but I don't think it has happened/can be done. You can search around at the XDA forums for something:

Correction: You can do a lock without the ROM uprgrade. Get a program called pLock and you'll be all set. It's bastically the same thing.
