TL_UnlockRunEXE

Worked great Grondinm, thanks! I trimmed it down a bit, as the shortcut generation isn't needed (S2U2 accepts the path of the .mscr file) and my paths are fixed...

Hopefully, this functionality, along with other features, will appear in a future update, once APBilbo has released ThrottleLauncher 0.9.4. My biggest issue is the lag when it first starts up as it is quite easily bypassed...

Run("\Program Files\ThrottleLock\ThrottleLock.exe")

Waitfor("ThrottleLock", 1000)

While(wndactive("ThrottleLock"))
Sleep(500)
EndWhile

Run("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\menulauncher.exe", "-now")

Hmmm, I'd noticed that my alarms weren't sounding the past couple days... Must be something with 0.3c as they were working before IIRC...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djdavid:
ThrottleLock suck so many battery!

Have you notice it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'll try to check all that bugs for next release. I'm currently working 150% with throttlelauncher... BTW alarms do work for me perfectly... :-S.. but I'll check the code though ;-).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeveB:
Thanks for trying to help me.. I did it myself, yes! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grondinm:
i had tried it with s2u2 linking right to the mscr and it had not worked...maybe a spelling mistake on my part...glad i could help tho...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matthy_47:
Hi APBilbo,

First thank you very much for the nice appl.

On my Diamond the Flip2mute option doesn.t work, when Throttlelock is active.

A Slide 2 answer option would really be nice.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
This looks good but I think it needs some dev. Is there a way to throw some information on the program like a clock and weather? Like when you on the device you see a clock and a weather icon or something. That could be transparent or timed to disappear after 5 seconds. Either that or when you start doing your code the clock and weather disappear and you can see the lock. If you stop for about 5 seconds the clock and weather show up in front again. get what I mean?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brshk1:
I have also found a problem with my alarm. It worked perfectly last Tuesday, but today my kaiser remained silent until I switched on the screen to check the time :eek:. BTW, on Tuesday the phone was plugged to the AC charger and in suspended mode.

An a request for a future release: is it possible to prevent throttlelock from locking the phone during a call? My screen goes off to prevent unwanted "ear pressed" keys and that locks it.

Friday update: Being AC plugged means no difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beast84:
I can't mute incoming calls when this is active. It locks the scroll wheel on the side, not allowing me to mute calls when I can't take them. Is there a fix for this in the config file? If so, what should I change? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dewydewy:
hello APBilbo, I greatly appreciate your talented work!

I am not sure whether the issue has been raised by other ppl. But my lock is somehow laggy and slow when it is active in the front. And I also experienced the double-unlock issue as well as #421. Could you please fix the problem in the next release? Thanks a bundle!!!

**bug**

This program dos not work wen media player is active.

I got my phone out of sleep modus when i was listening to some music and i didnt get the "enter code" screen and i could use my buttons with pushing any code.

If mediaplayer is off, then it works great.

Question tho:

Will this lock me out of my htc diamond if i use this and the program called sensorlock, at the same time???

Cos i cant use any buttons if sensorlock is active ...

Also how do i change the password pattern??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matthy_47:
Hi APBilbo,

do you plan any update?

M.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
As far as I understood APBildo is hard working on ThrottleLauncher :). I think this app will be updated after ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Untouchab1e:
This app looks great, but I cant download it. Your website is broken, at least from here..

EDIT: Solved, I just went to the main site first instead of the direct links posted in the first post.. gonna try it now on my Touch Pro!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Untouchab1e:
Great app! Its awesome! I actually prefer this rather then S2U2 due to its simplicity!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Will you add support of the S2U2 system top bar? Would look great! I'm using ThrottleLock together with S2U2!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ccvv:
i was wondering if you could share lock and background for this set up

i was wondering if you could share this lock and the background for this set up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ccvv:
has anyone figured out how to get this to properly work with s2u2 caller id. it doesnt allow you to answer the call when device wakes up after puttin in your pattern
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
I set ThrottleLock to start as UnlockRunEXE by unlocking S2U2. The only thing is, that you delete the startup file in autostart. This way it works awesome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hood.racer:
not Valid?

would any one know why i get this pop up that says "thorttlelock is not a valid ppc Aplication"?? - i also tryed a sft reset :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
this is a definately a must have app! great work APBilbo :)

are there any features you plan to include in the next version after you finished working on the next version of TL?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!!

Thanks ;). I've to do some searching arround the forum as I have forgoted all the requests X-D... But the change will be:

- Enable volume changing while locked.

- Make skining more flexible (more like ThrottleLauncher is ;) ).

- Include the png rendering engine that I've developed for ThrottleLauncher (that will make it run fast as hell!!)

- Improve responsiveness.

- Add analog clock support.

much more!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
this sounds so great! i'm already refreshing this thread every 5 seconds :P

hopefully you're progressing well on the new version TLauncher so you can focus again on TLock :)))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cpt.bert:
Whats the eta on this promiss? just wondering... but it sounds great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Sorry... I haven't even started to do it... so I don't know when I will finish X-D....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] expo7:
Nice, like your app. Wait for the new release :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2241Alexanders:
Great app

I really like this way of unlocking my phone!

I have the impression that responsiveness can be improved, but for me it's allready a must have.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr.Mazika:
what about true transparent background
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
That's not possible in Windows Mobile as far as I know :(. Areas behind a window do not update or change and WMobile does not support the WM_PRINT message... If any one knows how to do it I'll gladly give it a try :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grumps:
Lovely

Like this app but as said before on the diamond it kills all my hardware buttons upon wakeup after entering the code
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2241Alexanders:
Safety?

Hmmm, I have something for the wishlist:

When Throttlelock is active I can power my phone down and restart ... (unlocked then)

Is it possible to counterpart that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grumps:
Shouldnt matter because if you add the shortcut to windows startup then it will load automatically when you switch the phone on again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2241Alexanders:
Windows\startup

@Gumps:

Yeah that's what I tried, but didn't work.

I have reinstalled and throttlelock still won't show up on startup.

Also I have one other strange thing: I allways have to unlock twice.

Since you bring this up I presume it has something to do with my phone/rom and not with throttle lock. Bad luck for me.

Anyway, thanks for your fast reaction.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] szymcio2001:
Problem with incomming calls

When the call is incomming and the device is locked I cannot see who is calling and unlocking the device does not work. After inputing the correct pattern the ThrottleLock window is still visible. I use Touch Pro. Maybe Autounlock on incomming call option that can be set in config.xml i a good idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grumps:
It doesnt get set automatically. Copy throttlelock.exe from \program files\throttlelock\throttlelock.exe and paste a shortcut to \windows\startup
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Krzysiec:
Can anyone upload the installer of newest version here ? Because links in first post are dead and can`t download it :/

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cpt.bert:
APBilbo got any updates for us?

btw does anybody know how to make it "hide" when you get a call? because i have the new canvas dialer with fullscreen caller id and throttlelock hides that so i first have to unlock the phone..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
would be cool to add some sound to this??? maybe NICE..... cool key sounds, or an alarm if the password was wrong...... i think alot can be done with this lock ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
APBilbo: did you start working on a new version of TLock or are you still busy with TLauncher mate? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'm still working in ThrottleLauncher... But ThrottleLock will benefit of what I'm doing for Launcher ;)... I think I'm near the end of the new version of ThrottleLauncher so I'll be able to mess with ThrottleLock soon ;).

Thanks for your interest and patience :).

VGA skin (optimised for Diamonds)

Don't forget to change VGA compatibility to false in the config file...

Theme uses steel balls, with red ones if you enter it wrong.

Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
oh wow...... this version is soooo good so far...... i'd rather not know whats new with the new version..... i like surprises :D

can't wait
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cpt.bert:
APbilbo can you implement a option for tl to not show up when receiving a call? i think its really anoying to have to unlock the phone first and then answering again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike711:
Made up some skins.

QVGA.

Although backgrounds suit portrait and landscape alignment, they were made for portraits mainly.

Also my config is made for 4×4 pattern.

The main limit is - long phrases won't fit.

!!! Don't forget to change pattern to 1st dot only before installation.

You'll need skin-basic and one of elements zip files.

Extract them to ThrottleLock and replace your files (or backup them)

PS. thanks to ivosiliev and GODZSON for their skins and of course, to APBilbo - the author of ThrottleLock))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Srem:
just my opinion.....i have to disagree. one of the biggest problems with diamond is accidentally pressing accept or reject whilst fumbling phone around in pocket. the only reason i use TLock is to stop this!

great work on the app, love it. my main request for next update would be a large clock. please!

also dunno if im doing it right but i cant seem to change the 'texts'. i just get a load of boxes appear where the original txt was (it doesnt reflect my changes to the file?!)

KUTGW
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Great work!! I love it!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks! :)

The app definately needs a configuration tool. All that options can be added there so anyone can have what he want's ;). I agree with you though. ThrottleLock target is to provide some security so no one can unlock your device...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fontanini:
i wanted to try this piece of software but i get an error "ID does not exist" on the website.

anyone a mirror?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0rgul:
thanks, looking very good on screenshot, but unfortunately not good on vga :mad:

If you can make a VGA version of your skin, that'd be great indeed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Srem:
on the latest version on stock o2 xda ignito...when i receive a call the caller ID with accept and decline comes up over the top of TLock. i think its because the caller ID loads up after TLock is already there. any way of switching the accept/decline screen behind TLock?

edit: also i cant seem to unlock whilst a default windows alarm is ringing. is there a way to disable TLock when the phone is woken by the alarm?

edit2: actually ive tried the alarm a few times and it seems that my diamond is just struggling a bit. it kinda works ;) still if you could somehow disable for windows alarms that would be great

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Parg:
Hi, is it possible to have the clock a little bit bigger? Istead of the "Enter pattern"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
VERY NICE! Now, if we can get an update to TL to make it more responsive and not so easily bypassed, I'll be ready to re-install it. For now, I'm using just S2U2, but would really prefer using both for greater security...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
+1 on the VGA version, so I can install it on my (soon to be acquired) new Touch Pro... ;)

Wow, i luv this program thanks so much

Hello,

I would love to try this app but when trying to install the cabs i keep getting "Installation of ThrottleLockCAB.CAB was unsuccessful" and ideas on what could be preventing it from installing and what I should try?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Parg:
Somehow I can't search this thread for a special word, so I have to make a post: Has anyone noticed, that ThrottleLock needs a lot of battery. I went to bed at 11:35 pm (81% Battery) and woke up at 6:45 am (71%). Can someone confirm that?

I will do a little testing. 1 hour with bluetooth, Manila2D and ThrottleLock. And than one hour without ThrottleLock

Btw: A "Disable" function would be nice. It's a little complicated to unistall it everytime when I don't want to use it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the guitarist:
hi there, i tried the skin on the touch pro but it was really messy and the background very small and didn't fill the screen ... does this theme supports VGA screens ?!...plz help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike711:
oops, sorry - made it for my QVGA touch

I just don't know - hope APBilbo will tell me - if I'll make elements (ex. backgrounds) like 640x480 - will they be scaled down to my 320x240? (and I'll have to take into acc. they'll be twice bigger, so loading longer :confused:)

Anyway, I'm ready to re-make those skins for VGA. I'll just need VGA owners' help - screenshots from their devices with my skins applied.

I think it'd be better to send them to my e-mail...

The good point is - more pretty details can be added ;)

2 APBilbo

[bug] sometimes, when WADesktop and AlReader are active, when I unlock, lock screen pops up again - I have to unlock for the second time

[question] only pngs can be used for skinning? jpeg, gif? mng, animated gifs? (mng's or any animation could be nice ;) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djdavid:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Parg:
As I already said: Somehow I can't sears for a special word in this thread.

Thx for your Confirmation
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0rgul:
About vga version, no need for a special skin version, just edit config.xml and change param "VGACompatibility" value to "true". Sorry, my bad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
Awesome app!

I know it's been mentioned before, but if it could be disabled during a phone call that would be great. If the screen blanks (I have it set to always blank with S2U2) then it is a pain to have to unlock the device with Throttlelock to be able to enter digits with the keypad.

Also, there's some significant latency or delay from the time you turn on the device till the time ThrottleLock actually runs. This makes it possible for someone to quickly view a text message or something. Can the delay be improved?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tenchi4U:
great app, I needed a replacement for s2u2 (which is also a great app, but not as secure and way to buggy on my Mogul).

The only thing I would ask for are caller id when locked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evojulz:
Taken form another thread…….

It also doesn't stop a thief from taking out your storage card or hard resetting the device.

To view the file that shows the unlock code on my device by plugging it into a PC, you would have to also set up an active sync connection requiring a screen tap behind the locked screen.

This works great at keeping nosey friends out of my phone but no, it’s not bulletproof. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Security

Also the easiest way to circumvent most locking programs is to reset the phone. At least the locks I've tried, will be unlocked after a soft reset.

I like the throttle lock for being simple, and having the possibility of being transparent. That way I don't need to unlock my phone all the time when looking at my grocery list, but I'm still prevented from clicking anything accidentally.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
hey mate!

i don't wanna bug you, but is there a chance to worm some details about the new version out of you? ;)

Mike did an incredible job with those skins, you're planing to implement them by default in the next version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi everybody!

I have started developing a little bit over ThrottleLock and here you have a little preview of the results ;).

Improvements:

- Lots faster (implemented with the new ThrottleLauncher png rendering engine based on libpng and zlib).

- Lighter, as now it's faster to paint when it deactivates it can free all the graphics info without drawback on startup time.

- Caller id popup showing who's calling and who are you talking to.

- New Layout based on the design by Aldur (thanks pal!).

Hope you like what you see ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
Hi APBilbo

I'm using your lock program , previous version (and this of csstavrou LOL)

I've changed your main screen to be more transparent , I think it is better

here it is , what do you think about ?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeSchmoe22:
I can't wait!!! Just what I need! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
This is excellent news! Can't wait to try it.

Is there an option not to popup the caller id, for those that want to simply use the lock feature?

Also, can an add an option not to lock while a call is in progress? Currently it will lock even when in the middle of a call and this can be difficult to maneuver when needing to make key presses in the middle of a call.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] natefish:
This is great...I smell skinning for this in the future? Keep up the GREAT work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derekwilkinson:
I hope a new version comes out soon :)

I would like to use this software, but it is too slow currently...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
As promissed :). Here there you have 0.4 version!! :).

Hope you like it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crm4:
Thanks! Best lock program around :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Creutz:
Will definately download it! Really like all of your work. However APBilbo, it's the November 2nd not 11th, maybe you should change the topic;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ubhishek:
May be he meant in roman numerals :D

It looks really good. Will give this a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
anyone have a screenie of what the caller id looks like?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evojulz:
Awsome! Thanks APBilbo!!

Will try now :D :D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Ooops... you're right:o. Changed . thanks!!

I'll update the first post screeny ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
APBilbo...awesome update. It definitely renders far faster now. I'm running it on my Touch Diamond, and here are my impressions and suggestions.

1.) The caller ID screen is a bit cluttered at the top-right with the name and number shown.

2.) Still would prefer an option to simply blank the screen, rather than lock, during a call. This makes it far easier to change to speaker phone in the middle of a call, or access the keypad to input numbers.

3.) Seems a little slow to respond to key presses when inputting the pattern at times.

Otherwise it's a great app that is a excellent alternative to S2U2 for the simple fact that this actually offers some locking security.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
looks great!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!!

Thanks for the quick feedback :). Thanks to that I've uploaded an updated version with number 1 solved ;) (download and install the cab again please...). About the other two:

2) What do you mean? You can always disable the lock on talking.... The target of locking the screen is to prevent unwanted "cheek" touches of the screen :P.

3) Can you figure out a walkthrough to reproduce that problem?

Thanks!
