Lock Unlock gripe

Yup. Forget S2U2. Here's the best solution I've found (and I've searched high and low):

TouchLockPro + Keyboard Config =

The former can be Googled, and the latter (incredibly useful program) can be found here: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=401 or at XDA.

This combination is the ONLY way I've found to effectively lock / unlock my device. And it's COMPLETELY customizable. It's also very memory efficient and reliable.

I won't detail my own configuration but in short, I used the keyboard config application to assign one of my hard keys to trigger TouchLockPro to unlock.

Read the manuals, then go play.

Keyboard Config is definitely by tarkim from XDA

Good to know. Thanks for the correction!

It sounds like a good setup, but PocketShield is 100% dependable in my VZ TP2.

When I push the top button, it shuts off the screen & locks it automatically. Pushing the button a second time causes it to unlock with the light sensor (usually so fast you don't even see the lock screen)

Hi John -

Yep. Tried PocketShield (good little program) but I had issues with the light sensor not being sensitive enough to unlock my device a lot of the time (a common issue for TP users apparently). Tried tweaking the program as well to no avail.

If you live/work in a bright enough place, PocketShield is a good solution in my opinion. Just no luck with it over here. TouchLockPro seems to be a very lightweight program as well (I recall it being more memory efficient than PocketShield, so that's a plus too).

Mine unlocks in almost no light at all after it's calibrated correctly & f it is outside at night a simple finger swipe unlocks it (there are about 8 other ways it will unlock also depending on how you set it up)

Here's what I would LOVE: if somebody could find a way to use the PROXIMITY SENSOR to lock/unlock the device... now THAT would be fantastic.

ie. as soon as you put the device in your case (or pocket), it locks up automatically (and otherwise it stays unlocked while it's on your desk, for instance).

This would be similar to how Blackberrys lock/unlock (except better, as those devices rely on magnets sewn into cases/pouches).

I've searched for this type of solution, but haven't found anything yet. Anyone else?
