Actually ... I followed what you were saying from your description! This is similar to WB's suggestion of looking into OrganicLock. It already does something similar to this. I haven't gotten a chance to check it out just yet. My understanding so far, is that it kicks in as soon as the standard device lock is disabled. If that's the case ... then TFloCtrl will work with it, in that you would do a slide gesture to unlock the standard device lock and bring the screen to normal brightness. Then you would have to perform the OrganicLock function to further access the device. I need to run some tests to confirm.

I know that sounds like an extra step is in there ... but that's how it would work *with* the normal device lock. There are risks in implementing your own device locking ... and it's proved tricky in the past for others to account for all scenarios.

It is theoretically possible to implement an OrganicLock type of unlock, that could accept a pattern and then trigger the automatic unlock of the standard device lock like what I've done so far does ... but it would require tighter integration between FTouchFlo and my app, or foregoing FTouchFlo, and implementing it's touch interface into my app altogether. That would be a huge time/effort investment ... that's not likely to happen.

Thanks for the suggestions though ... keep 'em coming, because even if I think a particular thought or feature is outside of reasonable effort, it might trigger another idea by myself or others. In other words . .. brainstorming is good :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ufufu:
Ah, I did read that your implementation used fTouchFlo, but I forgot about it afterwards... Sorry! You are right, it would require you to code gesture recognition too. Would be interesting though, I will read up more on OrganicLock (thought it was some sort of fake fingerprint scanner from the name, like for example a program that associates each user with his thumb "keypress" on the screen, that would be nice too)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marcelvanblankers:
How is development going. i would really love this on my kaiser, functionality above all.. plz let us know how its going.

greetings
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marcelvanblankers:
not a lot of interest for this superb idea?

i don't get it,

like to hear more about this program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
A beta release cab installer should be coming this week. I've got about 3 different projects I'm splitting time between right now ... and that's not including my "normal" day job!

Plus, this past weekend was Independence Day for the US ... so I did more eating BBQ rather than building cab installers :)

I wasn't sure what kind of interest there would be ... I think some people are kind of over the whole "Slide to Unlock" concept. Still, this functionality is useful to me ... so I thought I'd put it out there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
i have slide to lock done with ftouchsl.

but i cant see how to get a gesture to work while the screen is locked..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marcelvanblankers:
Take your time kona, just wanted to let u know there is interest (by me anyways)

thnx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yesod7:
You should check out csdevctrl, another screen-locking program offered by chrisstavrou. It is very good, and looks to be getting even better. My problem, before using this prog, was in-call locking: during a call on bluetooth, my phone buttons would still be operational, for purposes of putting the call on hold, adjusting the volume, etc. Csdevctrl solved that, and offers many options I had not thought of.

I, too, am interested in your program's possibilities, as well!:):):)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Grondinm:
i can't wait to see this work....i assume it will require me to install a few things since i have HTC touch flow...or will it work with this as well...i have been looking for something like this for a while now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Yes ... efrost added "lock device" as one of his system plug-in options. However, the true *magic* is to get the device to unlock with the same (or different) gesture. :)

I have to have further talks with efrost to determine if what I've done is going to be possible with FTouchSL and his plug-in architecture. Although I think my current approach might still apply ... I'd rather implement it as a plug-in with FTouchSL. More on that probably once I release the cab with the original FTouchFlo, and get back in touch with efrost.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
!Beta Release!

Check the first post. I worked hard and lost more sleep to get this out ... hopefully it works well for others as it does for me.

I've still got plans to add more features, and make the config a bit easier.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Organic Lock Compatibility

Good news! As predicted, Organic Lock is behaving the way I thought that it would based on the descriptions I read. And therefore, it is working well with my "Slide to Unlock" as well.

I'll post more later ... but for now, know that it works ... although I had to change the speed to the highest setting for it to respond like I thought it should, only the static picture mode seems useful to me, and I had to add it as an FTouchFlo exclusion, or else you were able to get around it by using FTouchFlo to trigger other things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Hey Kona,

About to download and test. Anyway the real point of this post is go get some sleep. If you are tired you will make mistakes and get cheesed off with the project! :)

I will report back once tested.

Good job, well done!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Hi Kona,

Long ago, I stopped using Ftouchflo and Tflocubectrl because I started using S2U2 and Sclpc++ instead of the biotouch cube. (I wanted the 4th face and if you remember, we couldn't get it to work on my Blue Angel). Way back then, I had a problem that every time my BA would go into standby, the time to backlight off would change to 10sec on wakeup. I would reset it to 3min and after sleep, it would be back at 10sec :confused:. Turns out that it must have been related to ftouchflo/Tflocubectrl, because after installing this new version, the 10sec problem is back. I uninstalled and the problem went away. Could you please have a look and see if the problem is in your ctrl prgram or in the ftouchflo program?

Other than this, the new lock / unlock feature is working very well.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hey Moti, how are you!

Hmm ... that's very intriguing. I haven't heard of anyone reporting this before ... but then again, perhaps no one linked it with FTouchFlo+TFloCubeCtrl. Off the top of my head ... I can't think of any reason that TFloControl (or the old TFloCubeCtrl) would be causing this issue. Just the same, I'm trying to run some tests now to see if I can replicate your experience.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fuller45:
pictures please?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
That's an interesting question. So far ... I've just been extending the functionality of my original TFloCubeCtrl application, which was originally acting as an interface between FTouchFlo and Biotouch (essentially the HTC Cube). We needed something to bridge the gap on our non-Touch devices ... because the version of Touch.dll on an HTC Touch device handles this interaction with the biotouch app automatically.

Now, if you following any of that ... that leaves you in an interesting spot. I'm not sure what putting FTouchFlo on an HTC Touch (Elf) or Touch Dual would do.

Of course ... in re-reading your post, I'm starting to wonder if this is what you meant at all! Does your phrase "i have HTC touch flow" mean you have an Elf or other "HTC Touch" device?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I've thought about this ... as I usually like to see screenshots of the app to decide if it's worth installing. The thing is, static screenshots aren't going to tell you much. I could post a screenshot of my HTC Home screen, and then of the screen after it's been locked ... but it'll just be the standard WinMo device lock! That's kind of the whole point ... it's not a separate lock application that I've built here, but just a more convenient way to lock/unlock without requiring you to see the screen at all.

I could make some video ... but that would require a camera and such. I'm focusing more on the app for now. If someone who has it installed wants to post a video, I'll link from one of the first posts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
can we get it to unlock a little faster?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
oh i can make a video of it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Well, how slow is it is the question. It runs pretty fast on my Kaiser ... I don't even ever see the gray "Tap Unlock or Press *" screen when I unlock. But I figure that this is really going to be device-dependent.

There's a small delay in my auto-unlock sequence, that it seemed needed to be there or else it would "miss" the second step of the unlock process. It's currently set to a 50ms delay, but it seems to work on my Kaiser with as little as 10ms delay. In the FTouchFlo.config file, it's the 50 that's at the end of the line:

"LeftRightAppCmdLine: spinRight lock-unlock home 50"

Try changing it to something smaller, such as 10 ... might help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
yeah worked like a charm, thanks.

oh and im uploading the video to youtube right now.

i think it might be frozen though :/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Hi Kona, welcome back!! We've all missed you.:) I'm just fine. yourself?

I played around a bit more by installing just Ftouchflo by itself and the backlight timing change does not happen, using it to lauch SCLPC++ and other programs. As soon as I try Tflocontrol, it starts again, so the bug is definitely in the tflocontrol program. It may not actually be a bug, it may just be some weird interaction, but it only happens with your program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fuller45:
Gotchya, thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
i uploaded the video to youtube

PS: i did not tap the screen hard it just sounds like it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjPxHroy9VU
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xboxhaxorz:
screenshots would be great on main post
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
just look at the video

screenshots wont do any good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
You're now "immortalized" on the first post :D Thanks for the video ... it's tricky to get them to look nice.

PS - I find it helps with getting the gesture to recognize if I start with my finger on the edge of the case, just off the screen ... then swipe with a constant motion all the way across the screen. I can get a hit almost every time that way (I noticed you "missed" a couple of times :P) I sort of got the idea from watching video of the HTC Elf, where they had this little graphic on the front just below the screen where they showed the user starting from when sliding their finger up the screen to open the cube. Maybe that's not really how it's done on the Elf, but it seems to work well for me!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
So, does this mean that changing that delay value from 50ms to 10ms actually yielded a visible difference to you? I'm not doubting it ... just want to clarify because I don't really "see" much difference on my Kaiser, but I figured devices with slower processors or less memory might react differently ... which is why I made it configurable in the first place! Just want to confirm whether it made a difference ... and in the end, I'd like to see if I can just set it to something really small (like 5 or 10ms) by default and have it work for most everyone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
yeah well i dont have a 400mhz processor like your kaiser so thats most likely it.

but yeah the video was at 50 still. as you can still see the grey unlock screen.

oh and i got the sliding down. i can get everytime now :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Sweet! Now ... for extra credit, you can make a video that includes OrganicLock as well, as I think there are some people that are interested in it. I suggest using a static image though ... makes more sense to me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
i dont know how to use organic lock.

i tried it and it didnt work.

a static image?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I had to SR to get it to work right after install. It relies on a startup app to register a notification so that it can catch when you unlock your device from the standard device lock. After SR, you use the "Technic" app in Programs to configure the pattern you want to use. There are a few choices for "Unlocker" ... but the others make you specify a pattern without seeing the image on the screen. With the static image one ... it displays the image, and you can pick out points in the image to click on. After saving, you lock your device. When you try to unlock ... you'll see the image again, with a Letter in the upper-left of the screen. You click on the points in order again ... and then it'll unlock.

I also suggest turning Accuracy down towards the bottom of the scale, and Speed all the way up. At least for my Kaiser ... it makes it work pretty well. Watch for the letter to change so you know it recorded the "press". With the speed set lower, it didn't seem like it was recognizing my presses very well.

Anyways, no worries if it doesn't work for you ... someone else may have it running and like it, and they can post video.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
It Works!

Kona,

Just loaded this up and......it works.....perfectly.

Need to setup some exclusions in Ftouchflo config and then we are good.

Excellent, well done.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Timb320:
This is great. Works perfectly after installing Cab on Kiazer with WM6.1..

I do have a feature request that might be cool/easy to code.

I do use the PIN lock feature with WM due to my Co's Exchange Security requirements, I wonder if could code and option so that when you slide to unlock when using PIN option that it auto enters the PIN and unlocks the device, the PIN itself could be configured in the configureation file for the user edit. Further you could setup a timer to only auto unload via PIN 1) if setting specified in config file, 2) Only within say a user specified time, after which it would be time locked i.e. you would have to enter the PIN manually (as normal) after said time; Example I may configure it to allow auto PIN Unlock within say 8 hours (just an example of a 8 hour work day) from the time the device was locked, this way If I left my device at work after this period, it cannot be auto unlocked.. Of course I may opt to set it to say 2 hours - user configurable.

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Hmm ... an interesting request. At first, I was thinking why even use the PIN lock, if you're just going to defeat it with an auto-unlock. But then your mention of co security requirements makes sense. My next plan with this is to update the parameter-passing to it, so that I can add more, and be more flexible with them. I'll add your thoughts to the feature list ... thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
not get it to work with fltouchsl :(

it will lock and suspend screen but it wont unlock :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I take it that you tried to map my TFloControl app to the gestures in FTouchSL configuration, as I have in FTouchFlo? I had a little bit of a concern that it might not work ... since it's a bit of a hole that I'm exploiting. One might argue that FTouchFlo should know that the device is locked, and therefore disallow all gestures. The original FTouchFlo did not, and that is why I was able to get my "slide to unlock" to work. However, I thought that they might have "fixed" that in FTouchSL, so that if you swipe when the device is locked, FTouchSL does not invoke the app linked to the gesture.

I might have to chat with efrost and see if there's anything we can do about that. Maybe a configuration option that will allow certain gestures even when the device is locked?

Of course, I haven't gotten around to testing this myself ... so it's all conjecture at this point. kidnamedAlbert, please let us all know if what I'm saying makes sense based on your testing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motisu:
Makes perfect sense:). I also tried it with Ftouchsl V2.5 and had the same results. lock works, unlock doesn't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Thanks for the confirmation. Hmm ... that's a bit disappointing. I'll have to shoot an email to efrost and see if there's anything we can do about that to make it work with FTouchSL. I'll let you all know if I find anything out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
kay. ftouchsl does support lock device already included but ftouchflo(like you said) ignored the lock screen.

i found out that the lock screen is a .dll file but ftouchsl doesnt have the option to add a .dll to the exception list.

ill keep trying. thanks.
