Anyone using Throttle Lock?

I just wanted to get your thoughts on Throttle Lock for what ever version your using and to find out if there is similiar software around. I thought it was ok but uninstalled because I couldn't find out how to change the time from military time (i.e. 16:27) to regular time (4:27). Is there a a newer version out?

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about here is the link and pic below

Have you seen or tried any other programs besides S2U2?

I currently use 3 different locks. I know it sounds rediculous, but I'm very private. heres my setup. S2U2 at all times because it's a great fully functional and regularly updated app. Second, Sensor lock. Another "Well Thought" app. Set it to autolock "everything on wake up and even S2U2 is locked! Love it! Plus, give it a roll on incoming call (as long as it only locks the touchscreen) and you can rest your phone on your shoulder all you want without hitting onscreen buttons (plus you can hang up, and quit to home without rerolling. As long as you have your backlight set to turn off after x amount of seconds, your hardkeys will autolock.) And Lastly, Throttle Lock. A little buggy, but locks using passcode and looks great with my custom themes (and when only used every once in a while). I have Throttle Lock in my start menu and activate it only when in public and/or drinking. If you are 4:20 friendly, if you like skulls, and you use Throttle Lock, then PM me and I'll share my skins :0)

Agreed, I've got mine set to the long right key. Works like a charm!

I tried the throttle lock. It works alright but when someone calls it messes with the stock answer slider so I took it off.

I've used both locks and thought Throttle was more appealing visually but seemed kinda troublesome. I think if more setting options were added along with a cleaner interface, this app would be really worth using.

I used S2U2 1.42 and it was ok but it didn't seem much better than the stock locker except for the fact you can slide. I wouldn't mind going back to it if I knew how to change the clock time to show standard and not military. I know this is probably a easy setting/config change so can someone please help me out? Much Thanks! I alomost forgot, what version of S2U2 should I use, looking for the most solid with the least amount of bugs?
