Ok, right script but it still does not unlock to the Home page.

Here is a step by step of what I did:

Method 1
1. installed via CAB
2. soft reset
3. Tapped the Unlock to Home icon in the Start menu. First message came up and asked that I navigate to the Home page in 5 seconds.
This is where things get confusing. There are few ways to 'navigate' to the Home page. I can X out the Start menu, or use the hard key. I tapped the icon, then used the hard key to return to Home.
4. The second message comes up to try the Unlock to Home
5. I opened the device to my Inbox, let it time out and then lock.
6. I unlock the device, and it remains on the Inbox.

Method 2
Steps 1, 2 and 3 are the same except:
After tapping YES to the first message, I tapped the top bar to go into the Start menu and tapped the HOME icon.
4. Screen jumped to Home a second or two before the second message came up. I figured this worked.
5. I opened up my Calender, then let the device time out and lock.
6. I unlocked the device, and it remained on the Calender.

Ok, what am I doing wrong?

lol uninstall the cab , reinstall , DO NOT SOFT RESET that is not needed . then just tap the unlock to home icon found in the start menu , it SHOULD automatically go back to the home screen . then just let it sit for a little . then after the message says you should try it , then try it .

I followed your instructions exactly but still no good.
Here is what I did.
1. uninstallcab....done
2. reinstall script.....done
3. soft reset....NOPE
4. tapped the Unlock to Home icon. Went to Home screen. So far so good.

I let is sit, and sit. It almost timed out twice (2 mintues). It did not go to the message "to try it". The first message "5 seconds to navigate to home screen" came up. I waited to see if it would go by itself to the second message but it didn't, so I decided to tap YES.
6. It sat for a second or two, THEN the "try it" message came up. I tapped OK.
7. I opened the Inbox, and let it time out on the Inbox as before.
8. Unlocked device and it remained on the Inbox.

I repeated steps 4 to 8 two more times, but no luck.

Back to square one. I think I did exactly as you instructed, but it isn't working as expected. Something is wrong.

You tested it on your HTC TP2 loading Sense and it worked without issue? Strange.
I'll leave this in your capable hands as mine are tied right now.

Keep me posted. I can't thank you enough for the time your putting in to this. Sorry we are not getting the reward as yet.

hmmm when you say inbox what do you mean by that ? if you mean the sense messaging , then it wont go back to the slider tab "home" . open file explorer and try it , it works for me when any app is open on stock 6.5 rom ..

Email Inbox. I slide over to Email, then open the Inbox and leave it that way until it locks.
When I had S2U2 installed, it would return to the Home screen every time. No matter how I left the device, or where, it would always unlock to the Home screen with the clock and weather, Quick links, and slider bar.

.....if you mean the sense messaging , then it wont go back to the slider tab "home" .

Whenever it boots, and after the Windows screen, it says Launching Sense. System information lists Manila ver. 2.5. I am not leaving it on the SMS screen, so it should not be a factor. Right?

......open file explorer and try it , it works for me when any app is open on stock 6.5 rom ..

I tried it with Camera open, File Explorer open, Word Mobile open, a scientific calculator and others. When unlocked, it stays where it was.

We checked the OS and ROM. It's stock, and as I have said, the device is capable of unlocking to the Home screen since S2U2 was able to perform the operation, but had too many other issues.

I wish there was more information that could be provided. Any entries I could check? Diagnostics? Registry entries? Snapshot? (Don't have an app for that yet).

Since you have it working on the stock 6.5 ROM you tired, I'll understand if you don't wish to spend any more time on this. It was worth a try.

All caught up on your 'Thanks'.

this script is so simple i can't believe its not working lol . i will get this working for you !

all the script does is check the registry to see if the device is locked , and if youre using lockdevice it will lock it when it goes into standby . then it checks to see if it has become unlocked , then it opens the window which holds your home screen . there are only 3 things which can go wrong , 1st , its not changing the reg value , 2nd its not noticing the reg change , and 3rd its not getting the window .

we know the script is getting the proper window , and i think the reg values are being read properly , as you said my other script works . ill make a diagnostic script which will log everything . in the mean time , change the "Screen off when locked" delay time to like 5 just to confirm its working properly .
thanks qanda !

I am sure you will but you can stop at any time you feel the effort is too time consuming.

.......all the script does is check the registry to see if the device is locked ,

I checked the "0" (unlocked) and "2" (locked) states and the device state is changing.

.........and if youre using lockdevice it will lock it when it goes into standby .

I am using Lock Device, and it has been working fine.

..... then it checks to see if it has become unlocked , then it opens the window which holds your home screen .

WE know this aint' working.

there are only 3 things which can go wrong , 1st , its not changing the reg value , 2nd its not noticing the reg change , and 3rd its not getting the window .

My bet is on #2. I checked the lock state and it changes as it should. We also know that after I tap the Unlock icon, it jumps to the Home page, so it knows where to go. It may be a question of it not knowing WHEN to go.

Ok, let me know what you wish me to do. I know my way around a registry editor in case you need some values checked.

Screen off when Locked set to 5 seconds. Works fine.

Nahhh it dont bother me , i just wish i had the device next to me so i can see whats going on . id hate to have you hard reset . so i'll make a log script to log everything the program needs .

I checked the "0" (unlocked) and "2" (locked) states and the device state is
changing. I am using Lock Device, and it has been working fine.

Well thats good , hmmmm ....

it changes as it should. We also know that after I tap the Unlock icon, it jumps
to the Home page, so it knows where to go. It may be a question of it not
knowing WHEN to go.

when is based off the reg entries , it has two while statements one checks for when it does lock , then the second checks for when it unlocks . i may need a sleep entry before checking to see if its unlocked , your device may be a split second slower in changing a reg entry then what mortscript can read .

Ok, let me know what you wish me to do. I know my way around a registry
editor in case you need some values checked.

Im glad ! that makes things a tad easier on my end . but everything registry wise is getting set and unset so it seems to be working .

Screen off when Locked set to 5 seconds. Works fine.

well then we know thats good . all the info you just gave me narrows it down to the last while statement and the command to switch windows . i'll start there .

all the cabs i create from here on out , INSTALL WITHOUT UNINSTALLING the original . any cab i creat from here on out will overwrite any files it needs . so just leave my "unlock to home screen" cab installed onto the device .

im not doing much today (other than black ops and battlefield 3 xP) so i can work on it today . im eager to get this working !
