Thanks for this version, looks real nice!

I've got some issues though, i dont know whether its because ive got a small screen (240x240), but the dots are really small. (and the clocks huge [in comparison])

Should i just be resizing the clock, and making the dots bigger? (as i assume the program isnt resolution aware?)

Posted a screenie:

Cheers, Mike.

EDIT: Just seen that VGA compatibility is enabled by default?

Ill try resizing the images also. And changing the font sizes.

EDIT2: After changing the top margin a bit, as well as the clock font size it seems to be usable now.

Thanks for a great program! :)

Will test callerID and the notifications now.

Is there any way to shift the graphics up a bit?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spupuz:
wonderful now it's a valid choice with s2u2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
Thanks for the quick fix to #1.

What I mean about #2 is that it's likely good enough to simply turn off the screen to prevent accidental cheek touches, rather than requiring one to input the pattern to unlock the screen while in the middle of a call. Because it is inconvenient to have to input the pattern to access the keypad if one needs to input a number key while in a call or one wants to toggle speaker phone. Rather, you could just automatically blank or turn off the screen, and if someone needs to access the keypad, they simply need to turn on the screen rather than having to input the pattern. This would only apply while in the middle of a call. Are you saying that there is an option to disable locking during calls?

As for #3, it seems that I have to very slowly and deliberately put in my pattern, otherwise it may take my motion as a diagonal press. Perhaps you can make an option to ignore diagonals.

Thanks!

I've just installed it and works great on my Polaris. Thanks a lot!

esp: Acabo de instalarlo y va fenomenal. Muy buen trabajo como siempre, muchas gracias!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Gracias! (Thanks!)

Yes, there's an option to disable lock on call in the config app ;). About the 3rd... that's something I've already though about ;).

Thanks!!

Attached you have my best try to make it work on 240x240... I'm not very good at graphics. To install uncompress it to the skins folder and then select it on the skin combo in the config app....

Edit: you can also try using a 2x4 grid instead of the 3x3....

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onlinespending:
OK, then it appears that option does not work as I would expect. I have it unchecked and while in the middle of a call, if the device turns off, ThrottleLock is still activated when I turn the screen back on. This is despite me being in the middle of a call. I would expect that this option disable ThrottleLock while a call is in progress.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GODZSON:
Thx

Thx for the credits.. Well done bro.. and to APBilbo your doing an awsome job my friend keep it up, and thx to all for the creativity and fellowship.

Great update. Really appreciated. Best lock program out there.

Question- Is there a way to change the clock to a 12-hour clock?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solomhamada:
great update . .thanks very much

cant wait the skins!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
open up the config xml in the skin folder and find the line for the clock

change HH:mm

....H:mm will give you 12 hour clock

....adding tt to the end of it will give you AM or PM

btw.. is it possible to have lowercase AM and PM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
may i suggest something?

i have made a real looking android skin and i would to see some features like position where you want what to go.

like the time on the top bar to the far left corner, battery to the left of it, signal to left of battery, and then notifications to left of signal.

thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeSchmoe22:
Caller ID disabled

When you do block or disable the default caller ID, then there will be no way to accidentally touch the touch panel and answer the phone...right? :confused:

The problem I have right now is that I am using ThrottleLock but I have still accidentally answered incoming calls.

Is there an ETA on disabling the default caller ID?

Thanks for the work!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
my current setup using 0.3

see how much better it looks with the clock on top :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Very nice and clean look. Could you post your files to get this configuration?

[FR] Lock only if unused for xx minutes/hours

APBilbo,

Nice job on the latest update.

Any ETA on when or if you'll be adding in time-out functionality similar to the built-in lock app, i.e., Lock if device unused for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hours, etc.???

I really like TL, but don't want to have to enter the pattern each and every time I turn on my device but only if it's been awhile, like an hour, since I last used it. Would provide some security while still providing quick access during the day when I use my device the most.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Ok, now I understand what you mean... that option is there to force a lock even if your device is not locked when you receive or start a call.... I'll check your request as seem's to have sense... Though it will not unlock your device if it was locked as that will make unlocking the device as simple as calling to it instead of entering the patter ;).

That's right!. For lower case AM PM change it on your WM regional settings ;)

Try to set the lock to "All buttons" instead of "All buttons but phone". Till I completly replace the called id, you can check the Omnia (I think it's omnia's) called id, it has an slide to answer function ;-).

That looks great!! :). Please PM (or post here) your graphics and I'll try to achieve something similar with the current layout ;).

Mmmm.... seems to have sense.... I'll check it, but can't give ane ETA right now.... sorry...

Exception

Please how to make an exception for alarm or wakeup applications to be not locked so we can snooze directly. thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jambaj0e:
I would love it you can offer a "lite" version, which just have the lock, and a "full feature" version that can show the next appointment, missed calls, sms, emails, etc.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aldur:
hi APBilbo,

latest build is fast&nearly perfect... the only thing I am missing is that

it does not lock the device when the backlight turns off...

btw: working on a skin :)

edit: when device is locked "when backlight turns off" it would be usefull if you could set throttlelock to turn off device after xx minutes

thanks,

aldur
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
That's a good idea ;). Written in the TODO list :P

That will be possible when advanced skining is available....

Not posible right now... But it's a good idea ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
New Skin!

Here you have a new skin (with a layout similar to the one requested by kidnamedalbert). To install it do the following:

1. Close the config app if you have it opened.

2. Uncompress the zip file to your skins folder.

3. Open Config ThrottleLock (@ StartMenu>Programs).

4. Select the new skin in the combo.

Hope you like it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derekwilkinson:
It still starts up too slow for me. It takes about 5-8 seconds. Would it be possible to make it activate when you turn off the device, instead of when it is turned on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
It turns on when you turn off the device. But when the device is turned off, it doesn't do any operation to save up battery, so when you turn it on the process continues where it was. Although, it should appear quickly after the first startup. If it's slow for you you probably have a ROM with some kind of autohibernate installed. Open the config ThrottleLock app and uncheck the exit on hibernate option. Then click save and softreset. Now check if after the first startup (that may take 5-8 secconds) it appears quicker ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paul_Days:
Hello

I am running Onyx 3.1.2 and when I switch off my device and back on, it won't lock. How do I configure this app. Have searched throttlelauncher website and forum, but no luck.

Great App by the way.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Have you softreseted after instalation? If no try one ;).

Thanks!

Hi APBilbo,

thanks for the great uodate!!!

One question, if I get a call on my Diamond, the screen ist locked at the first ring, and then the Diamond phone skin comes up and I can answer the phone without using a pattern.

I tried with "lock on call on or off and both modes "all buttons" and "all but phone button". Its all the same.

Can you help me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fak3z:
No problem, just do it.

Real Devicelock

Hey,

great work. Its nice to use...

but a question to your tool:

I have a Artemis. If i lock with your programm my phone and do it to my bag, after i look for my phone, i see its shutdown.

I realized, that if my phone locked(with your tool), the on/off button locks my device:) --> but --> if i press longer the on/off button --> he pop up a window, that ask me for shutdown my phone.

And you allright --> in my bag/jeans --> i tap "yes"....

Can you fix that bug??

at batterystatus(homescreen ++), my device lock full...

But i wann yours --> its safety vs stranger + looks cool

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
APBilio sorry to post the images a million years later.

its hard since were in sifferent time zones.

well here it is.

PLEASE edit it so i can have clock on top(black)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derekwilkinson:
I installed it, and for awhile, it would open as soon as the device turned on. However, after about 5 minutes, it would start opening up slow again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shifuej:
same here! even after unchecking exit on hibernate. theres enough time for me to tap on anything on the screen but then TL kicks in and now i gotta unlock and re-tap

android like skin2

made a skin using notifications&battery from fak3z...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
On my device it works.... :-S.... I'll check it in code though ;-).

Here you have the zip attached ;-). Also with a screenshot... I've modified the dot's and lines to make them look more "android"

@Shifuej & derekwilkinson

That's really strange.... On my herald if I poweroff the screen and turn it back on in 2 seconds the lock is right there.... Could it be ROM related? Wich device and ROM please?

Also are you using any taskmanager option like kill all process or similar? Maybe it's killing the ThrottleLock background process...

Great one!! :). Thanks!

I've moded the diagonals as they are causing some pixeling as they where oversized ;). Here you have the zip and a screeny :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Can you explain the different settings in the skin.xml file.

Top margin and top bar height?

Whats the differences?

Im looking to edit one of the skins that you posted (default2), and just want the top signal, time, battery and notifications, then the locking dots straight underneath it, but cant seem to acheive it at all :P

I've deleted the rows in the texts file, but there still seems to be a gap where the program thinks the text should go..

Cheers, Mike.

Also, is there a relatively easy way to find out how many pixels a size 8 font would be (for example, and im hoping its really not 8 :P)

When i seem to change the values of the top bar and margin, the text at the top dissapears.

I dont want the operator/signal/battery (but id like the notifications)

Heres my skin.xml:

<root>
<param name="FontColor" value="128,128,128" />
<param name="Font" value="12,false" />
<param name="TopMargin" value="10" />
<param name="VGACompatibility" value="true" />
<param name="FullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="ShowTopBar" value="true" />
<param name="TopBarHeight" value="10" />
<param name="ClockFont" value="14,false" />
<param name="OperatorFont" value="0,false" />
<param name="ClockFormat" value="HH:mm" />
</root>

Any help?

Cheers.

This happens on my ELFin aswell, stock T-Mobile UK ROM. No taskmanager installed which kills background processes.

Have you disabled the close on hibernate option? If not please try ;).

Here you are ;). Just uploaded it to the wiki so everyone can find it ;).

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/wiki/index.php/ThrottleLock_Skinning
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Thanks for clearing that up.

Using this skin.xml:

<root>
<param name="FontColor" value="196,196,196" />
<param name="Font" value="12,false" />
<param name="TopMargin" value="0" />
<param name="VGACompatibility" value="true" />
<param name="FullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="ShowTopBar" value="true" />
<param name="TopBarHeight" value="25" />
<param name="ClockFont" value="14,false" />
<param name="OperatorFont" value="0,false" />
<param name="ClockFormat" value="HH:mm" />
</root>

Im still getting the same problem, the clock does not appear (like in my previous screenshot).

The size 14 font should fit in the 25 pixel space that ive set (top bar height).

Any help?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
You cannot set the font size to be 0.... I think it kills the painting... Try to set it to 6 and check if that way it renders correctly...

edit: Confirmed... set OperatorFont to 1,false...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Tried that.

Ive now got the battery and signal back, but the clock still doesnt appear.

Looks like this now:

<root>
<param name="FontColor" value="196,196,196" />
<param name="Font" value="12,false" />
<param name="TopMargin" value="0" />
<param name="VGACompatibility" value="true" />
<param name="FullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="ShowTopBar" value="true" />
<param name="TopBarHeight" value="25" />
<param name="ClockFont" value="12,false" />
<param name="OperatorFont" value="10,false" />
<param name="ClockFormat" value="HH:mm" />
</root>

Thanks for the help BTW!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Try this one ;)

<root>
<param name="FontColor" value="196,196,196" />
<param name="Font" value="12,false" />
<param name="TopMargin" value="15" />
<param name="VGACompatibility" value="true" />
<param name="FullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="ShowTopBar" value="true" />
<param name="TopBarHeight" value="10" />
<param name="ClockFont" value="12,false" />
<param name="OperatorFont" value="10,false" />
<param name="ClockFormat" value="HH:mm" />
</root>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Genius!

That's sorted, just need to change the font colour, and im good to go :)

So the top margin and top bar height need to be set?

Thanks for the help mate ;)

Real good locking app.

That last mod seems to have knocked off you name from the bottom? :P I changed the font to black.

Mike.

Would be nice to have the possibility to start it manualy.

Now the program locks the phone every time I puch the power button; that is not alway wanted.

I only need to lock it securely in certain occasions ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Do you have any advanced task manager like TaskMgr? If so please check if the ThrottleLock process is running in the background after you've unlocked the device.... If it's running turn the screen off and check if it locks quickly (it must).....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yshaikh01:
Uninstalled TL, reinstalled disabled S2U2 and now it works instant! Thanks. btw TL processes were always running when I checked taskmanager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
So... you needed to disable S2U2 for ThrottleLock to launch fast?... May be is related with the turn on event queu.... I'll check it as some people are using S2U2 in combo with TL ;). Thank you very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yshaikh01:
I now have put S2U2 as my fullscreen caller ID and it asks me to unlock before I can answer the call, is this the correct function? Can it be changed?

btw it is running fast now even with S2U2 caller ID enabled.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paul_Days:
Update

OK, I am using TL with S2U2. I am using S2U2 for it's Full Screen Caller ID, not for it's locking capabilities.

My problem: the Phone rings, and I get a "stuck phase" I see the full screen caller ID and the soft buttons, the first time TL showed upfront, but as i did my patterns, it was slow and sluggish and coundn't unlock the phone, it would skip lines in the pattern, etc. Second Time the call came in, TL did not property launch and the caller ID from S2U2 displayed fully with soft buttons, but it was unoperational, even the hard buttons didn't work.

In the meantime, I have to uninstall TL :(

Any suggestions?

I just discovered your app and it rocks.

Easy lock and unlock.

I run it on my diamond but I have one issue. It doesn't lock the screen answer.

When the phone rings on the diamond, you can take the call by the physical button or by pressing the touch screen but throttleLock doesn't block the screen.

Any way of adding this feature?

I tried MODE: ALL BUTTONS and LOCK ON CALL but still no way.

It's based on 'smilies' :) and does not use text since the smilies say it all for you!

Could anyone tell me hoe to take my skin editing further? how do I edit things like the colour of the copyright text etc? Thanks...
