i_m_jughead's answer is your answer, Skywarp (the "Lock Device" program). I use that program, and it adds the functionality you're needing to the pre-existing wm lock screen (the one you access with the end call button).

somehow i remember a program that used the proximity sensor to make sure the screen stayed off in your pocket, don't have it anymore though. anybody know what I'm talking about?

So, I read up on how the screen lock program is supposed to work (which turns out is what I wanted), and mine was not doing it right at all. When I got a call or text, it would unlock and stay unlocked. So, if I missed a call, it would go "back" to the phone app and I would often end up pocket dialing the caller right back from the history. And, as with texts, I would often pull out my phone to find it on some settings page (usually time zone change).

I rebuilt my phone (it was a good time to, anyway), and the lock screen works properly now (re-locks after missed call, stays locked for texts). The screen is obviously still on for some time afterwards, but it stays locked. I think I'll look into that "lock device" app, as well as S2U2.

Thanks guys.

That proximity cab didn't work on mine.

LockDevice, however, is working wonders for me. I'm not going to bother with s2u2 at this point; I think my phone is complete (and I only needed to start one thread on my own! w00t!). I wasn't sure if LockDevice would work at all (Verizon build with no end-key-long-press customizing), but it does the job brilliantly without any delay between screen-off and screen-lock.

Keep up the good work, everybody.

It seemed to be too sensitive on my phone running Co0kie's Home Tab. If I just brushed my thumb over the sensor, the screen would go dark and I had to unlock it.

I'd like to try Lock Device, can someone post a link or CAB?
