when you uninstall it while it is set to lock automatically it will start complaining about demonlock.exe upon startup. should probably make it so that it gets rid of that reg edit during uninstall.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
apbilbo, i've seen you've been working on tlauncher lately. are you still working on tlock?

maybe you have some good news for us? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gerald_s:
I'm using TL since a long time without any problems. Today I made a hardreset, after installing TL again I noticed that its not auto locking anymore. I'm using V 0.7 and I used exactly this one before. Very strange, I have no idea why it happened.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I've already done some improvements to TLock. But I wan't to make some more taking advantage of some of the code used in the last ThrottleLauncher version ;).

Have you softreseted after the install? Also check that you have the autolock enabled in the config dialog...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gerald_s:
Sure, everything is enabled and I did a softreset after installation. Its not a big deal because I'm using V0.6 now which is working flawlessly. But of course I'm very happy to here that you are working on a new version :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillysquid:
Try turning up the 'idle time before lock' up from 0. Then exit the settings program then go back in and move the slider back to 0.

This has worked for me in the past.

(no need to reset)

p.s. I had previously been using this on wm6.1 and experienced the occasional crash ... now using it on wm 6.5.5 (Christians rom) and I've had no issues at all :)

glad to hear your still developing it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
i'm happy to see that you're still working on it ;)

i surely can't imagine to use another app for locking!

if you need a tester for vga devices, let me know...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] depawlur:
OK here's what i figured out(on HD2 US version):

1. the Tlock was locking automatically but the second locking app was appearing HTC s2u thing. When i disabled it in the registry Tlock was also not locking automatically. I softreseted a few times turning it off and on, it started to work. I have no idea what was the reason

2. I created my own skin, with 480x800 back.png and it's showing only 240x320 top left side of my creation. I checked all other skins and they have small resolution png's. I found nothing about scaling to the resolution in the xml file also. P

3. 3d effect is working slow and stops working at all. But it works after I tap at the screen, also the background is moving in 3d also.

please help me with the wVGA backgrounds
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigeneral:
hi APBilbo,

thanks for the great app, i love it at first slight.

i have one of these problems, maybe i don't know how to setup it up properly.

i'm using the cookie home tab with wm6.5, i have disable the wm default lock function. everything seem to be working fine, except when i'm receiving call.

the slide bar didn't show up, so i have to unlock with my pattern first, before i can answer phone call.

i prefer the windows default slide bar in the middle of the screen instead of the slide bar on top of the page, any suggestion / help how should i setup my setting in both TL and cookie home tab preference?

thanks a million
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Enkidu-:
Amazing product thank you very much.

I second the idea to hide the blue line until after you've entered an incorrect pattern.

can't get it to autolock my HD2

Hi.

I love the concept of this application and was eager to try it but I can't seem to get it to auto-lock my HD2 when the screen is manually turned off with the call end button.

Thanks,

-Mike

Still supported?

Is this app still being supported and developed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptit developer:
For me, this application runs with no problems.

ThrottleLock v0.7

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I haven't had to much time (this last year... :o) to work on this project... But here you have an upgrade!! Please give it a try and let me know if you like it :).

Thanks and sorry for the delay!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
It's solved in 0.8, please give a try :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Anyone has some feedback for me? I see 150 downloads already and I don't even know if it's working :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
working great on my hd2 :)

1. there's still a typo when accessing appointments. it says "Weiter sppointment" wich should be "Nächster Termin" if it's supposed to mean "next appointment" in german.

2. lock on startup isn't always on top as it sould be. it gets covered by sense, saying it's starting... you need to turn the screen off and on again to gain access to tlock.

been playing for 5 minutes yet ... maybe i'll find some more...

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thank you very much! :)

1. Is solved for next version. You can use the attached file also wich has the typo corrected. (override the one in ThrottleLock instalation folder)

2. I will check it :). Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdster:
HD2 ok but chewing the battery

Have installed on my hd2 and appears to be working great except battery life seems to be much shorter.

Unlike .7 it now autolocks :)

The other thing is I have to double unlike, once in windows (cant seem to turn this off) and then in TL.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

thank you very much for the feedback. About the issues:

1. Do you have the 3D effect on? That does consume some battery indeed... Also try turning of the haptic feedback, it will also save battery.

2. For the double unlock, have you softreseted after the instalation of ThrottleLock? It theorically disables the WM6.5 lock, but you have to softreset for that to work.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
is there a way to make tlock transparent or sth like that? i'd love beeing still able to take a look at the manila start screen with weatherinfo etc ... kinda like a partly integration into manila home screen ... any plans to do sth like that in future`?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
French support?

What about cpu consumption? 0%?

Possible to install it on winmo 6.1 safely? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I've been experimenting with a way to show the today screen while the device is locked.... though it still needs some work :(.

- It does support french :)

- CPU usage is 0% unless when you're drawing the pattern and when the time or other notification changes that it hit's a little bit the CPU.

- AFAIK it's safe to install in any WinMo device :)

Thanks for your interest!

cannot uninstall

Hi. I have tried v0.8 for about 30 minutes, and now I cannot uninstall it.

First I installed v0.7 , then I realized that v0.8 was out, so I uninstalled 0.7 and installed 0.8.

I am on a htc touch pro 2, with an energy rom, and cookies HTeditor.

Throttlelock itself seems to work ok, and its a nice program all in all. But for me its not the right thing, so I want to uninstall.

But uninstalling fails!

If I uninstall with "remove programs", the phone either hangs, or it seems to uninstall normally and rebooting automatically . but the program still stays there.

How can I uninstall it please?

thanks,

sig
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
First of all, it's really weird the uninstalation is not working for you... I've tried it on WM5, WM6.1, WM6.5 and WM6.5.3 and it works perfectly always... Have installed the app to an storage card or something similar?

Anyway, please try the following:

- Open ThrottleLock settings. Disable the lock on startup and the autolock check boxes. Hit save.

- Softreset

- Try uninstalling again.

If that doesn't work do the following:

- Launch the instalation again.

- It will as to remove the previous version, hit yes

- When you get asked for the media to install hit cancel

If it still doesn't work remove the folder \ProgramFiles\ThrottleLock\... You will still get the item in the uninstalation list, but it will not take any memory/storage space. You can use memmaid to remove the application for the uninstalation list.

If you want to get back the default WM6.5 lock you will have to set the following entry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend = 1

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sigaam:
uninstalling 0.8

I installed to internal memory.

Disabled autolock and lock on startup, rebooted, and still cannot uninstall.

The phone now hangs, (wait animation runs but i cannot do anything).

so I hit the resetbutton. When I run the installer again it just throws the message "Installation of throttlelock0.8.cab was unsuccessful" before the installer starts.

So something fishy here.. I tried reinstalling earlier , I was then asked "do you want to remove the installed app first" , I answered "yes" and then an error came "cannot unsinstall application".

So I'll go for the registry removal.

Thanks for the quick support and giving the registry paths.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdster:
Hi.

1. No I haven't tried the 3d effect on .8, the haptic is on by default, so I will try turning that off and let you know.

2. Yes I have soft reset after the install and several times since, however, I still have the double unlock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Sorry to hear that :(. BTW, I've been researching about the issue and I've been able to reproduce it on my WM6.5.3 Herald... I've been doing some tries and this worked for me:

- Download the attached zip file and extract the SetupDll.dll file included.

- Open in ActiveSync your device on the path "\Windows\AppMgr\Alfonso Presa ThrottleLock".

- There should be a dll there with a name like "STPXXX.dll". Rename you SetupDLL.dll file to be named exactly as the other one and then override the one in your device with it.

- Try to uninstall.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Wich version of WM are you using? Please check that the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend

equals to '0'

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o.moe:
Hi,

first of all: great app, tried the .7 version earlier this year. I like the "unlock by pattern" idea very much and now that I've seen you are still supporting this software here's an idea/request from a CHT user's point of view:

could you provide a version that is only doing the "unlock by pattern" in fullscreen w/o the clock, top bar and all the previews (of text msg, calls etc.)?

For me, I'm using CHT's lockscreen because of its capabilities to be customized with all its widgets. But I'm still missing an "eye-candy" way to have my cell protected after unlocking. So a kind of double unlock feature is desired, first CHT lockscreen (which is using the WinMo 6.5 lock mechanism) and then your special and clean "unlock by pattern"-only version.

Or mybe there's a way to merge your two great software apps because CHT is still missing a convenient way of protecting a cell imho.

Just a thougt you might want to think over...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
what you wrote on first post was catching, "if you didn't install it, tell me why", that was a very appreciated example of opennes :)

I've noticed throttle lock before, and I liked very much the g-sensor support for eyetracking effect.

I also like the fact that it implements a "analog password" which is even unintuitiv to strangers, so that's a pro.

Yet it lacks two things that S2U2 has and that I have grown to absolutely need:

1) Proximity sensor screen off function, since the phone can always get turned oin by accident in he pockets and the lit display consumes power

2) data displayed on the screen. I know that the main feature of the program is to provide a safe way of unlocking, and thus it needs the whole screen to do that, but maybe there could be a way to leave space to display upcoming appointments/tasks, missed calls and whatever the user may be needed to check even without having to unlock
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

Thank you very much for the feedback!! :). I really apreciate your comments and I'm already thinking of some way to solve your "requests". About the secconds on... it's already possible :). Check this picture out (the red dot represents the finger).

Though I'm thinking of a cleaner way to show them for a further version.

About the proximity sensor (I guess you mean the light sensor), I will think of it :).

Thank you!

Hi!

Thank you for your comments. You will like to know that in next version you will be able to see your home screen even when the device is locked by Tlock. By pressing any button TLock will jump to the front allowing you to unlock. About a cleaner Locking... I think it's possible by tweaking the Skin... almost all of the elements are optional ;). Just by removing the adecuate png files and changing some heights in the skin.xml file you can get rid of anything different than the dots.

Great work!!

Please check your PM :).

Really weird.... Wich lock screen are you seen? The windows mobile old one or the one with the slider at the top?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
great news that you're still working on this one besides tlauncher :)

tlock was for me the most important app for diamond in first place because of sense 2.1.

switching to hd2 with sense 2.5 i felt the unlocking design of manila more comfortable...but on the other hand you don't have any security by just pushing an unlockbutton to the side :P

a combination of those two ideas would be just perfect! integration into manila and security patterns of tlock :) but this would probably mean that you're forced to completely redisign this masterpeace of software ... and i'm not quite sure if you actually wanna do this.

can't wait to see future releases of it ... let me know if you need a tester :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aoakes:
I like this idea, and I have been waiting for something since i dont have the skills to program. I just switched from my Touch Pro 2 to the Tmous Leo 1024 sense 2.5 manila 2012 and i"m using the lastest Cookies HT 1.8.

I definitely like the idea for security to keep noisy people out of my phone, from reading my tmobile company emails or text messages, or even going thru my pictures. trust me theres stuff you don't want to show off, its private. i've noticed that wm 6.5 has very little security to prevent others from just picking up your phone and helping themselves to your phonebook.

well i read something about integrating your software into Cookies HT. I mean I think the best way to do this is to allow the user to slide the bar at the lock screen, either the mini hd by sliding downwards or the orginal one to the side. * enable this feature to show your Swipe unlock style screen to appear.

[ the problem with swipe pattern is that someone doesn't have to look directly at you do this, just copying the pattern will allow anyone access, plus without any knowledge how difficult is it to guess the swipe pattern. I think if you enabled a multi tap pattern without numbers just circles you'd please alot of people. just create a options to engage one style over the other, and how the user wants the interface, behind unlock slide or placed as the actual lock screen.

just some ideas. thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdster:
I am using the slider. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still the same.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] o.moe:
This would be even better... then no other lockscreen will be needed IF the homescreen will be updated as if the device was unlocked?!

If this feature will work flawlessly I would even pay 9.99 for your app :D

I'm not very familiar with skinning you tlock software, maybe there's s.o. that may want to try a skin that gets rid of all stuff other than the unlock pattern dots?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
As far as v0.8 goes...

@APBilbo

I, personally, find v0.8 to be less responsive than v0.7.1. As result, I was forced to downgrade. Also, in my uninstalls, one'd taken forever, but succeeded, and another installation just absolutely WOULD NOT uninstall. Hopefully, your next ver (possibly a jump to v1.0, who knows?) will be ... perfect.

Uninstall Issues

Need Assistance: I tried the application(0.8), I liked it but at this point I decided to remove it from my phone (Tilt-2 w/ WM6.5).

Well that's when the fun starts, cannot uninstall the program, it locks during the removal process and I cannot remove the entry from the app remove list.

1st WinMo app I've used that I've had such problems.

Any thoughts???

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] suyama8:
Problem... no is compatible con Best Reminder, phone restart always.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
It's probably an incompatibility with the hide notifications feature... you can try disabling it in the config app.

Hi!

Please chec the end of the first post. There was an issue with uninstall some days ago. When did you downloaded the app?

Hi!

The uninstall thing is probably the same problem that the poster above. Please check the first post for the link with the patch.

About the speed... I feel 0.8 faster than the previous one... Though I'm already working on some improvements for next release ;).

I've that feature already working for next release :). You're actually seeing your home screen updating as usual. It's just that it's locked and you cannot interact with it ;).

Thanks for your comments :). I will thing about the multitouch thing.. though TLock it's supposed to work in any device ;), and only the HD2 AFAIK has multitouch support.

About the Cookies HT integration, I don't think that can be done cleanly. Cookies HT takes control of the full device when locked so there's not any integration posibility :(. What I'm going to try is to make the home screen visible while the device is locked.

I've already done some improvements to make sense 2.5 the topmost app, but disable the interaction with the user, so you can only see information.

Thanks!

Hi Alfonso.

I installed it and it was very prommising at the beegining but I found it hard to enter a key path easily in nomal daily use conditions. It isn't smooth at all even if it is a simple line because it doesn't respond as fast as it is required to read my finger movement. I had to get back to S2U2 which I don't really like but it is quite smooth.

Saludos.

Nitrogen Plugin

I think I read somewhere on the forum that a nitrogen plugin was possible to do. Are there any plans to create one? Because the only reason I still use s2u2 is because of its integration with s2p. I would love to use throttle lock instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi Jaime!

thanks for the feedback :). Please try the new 0.9 version. It works a lot faster in old and in new devices.

Hi!

I think you've missunderstood that plugin thing ;). It was for ThrottleLauncher not for ThrottleLock... Though it might be possible in the future to control S2P and nitrogen forn TLock ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsta1423:
has anybody made a gtx themed skin for throttlelock?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beefheart:
Is there any way of stopping the home button on the Leo bringing up the Manila home screen despite the lock screen being activated? It effectively renders this application useless which is a shame.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Not that I know :(.

It locks the home button on my HD2.... Wich ROM and WM build do you have?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beefheart:
UDT Black Series - DSE V7 WWE and WM 6.5.5.

Actually, come to think of it, the same thing happens with Pocketshield so maybe it is a rom thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Sorry... I didn't saw your signature :o... My appologies.

ThrottleLock uses a method to lock the hardware buttons based on a Windows Mobile private API... I don't know if they may have changed something on WM 6.5.5 causing that method not to work :(. I don't know any other way to do it... so may be PocketShield is using the same method and that's why it doesn't work.

For me, using the stock WM 6.5 rom is working perfectly... I'll do some researchs ;).

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beefheart:
That would be brilliant thanks as I would love to get this working.

I have just tried it on another version of 6.5.5 and the home button still brings up the Manila screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
I tried different lock screen applications including throttle lock and s2u2 and I turned back to the standard lock screen every time. The reason is simple : although at first everything is very smooth, after a few days the apps managed to frustrate me. :( Either the alarm (Klaxon, G-Alarm) did not fire up one morning, or it was impossible to stop the alarm sound (because the lock screen somehow decided to ignore my touches:mad:).

I have not tried the recent versions, maybe these issues are gone forever now. I will try when I have my phone back from repair. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
The lockscreen turns into my home screen in a few seconds, that works great. When clicking unlock the lockscreen appears and it can be unlocked correctly, ok too. Only thing is that i have to draw my pattern slowly, otherwise it does not take.

When home screen is showing and i click the windows logo, on the bottom left, the start menu comes up and the phone locks up, have to reset. Also when home screen is showing and i click on the green talk button, the lower taskbar of my home screen shows up and goes not away anymore, so i cannot unlock anymore, soft reset again.

When lock screen is showing and i click on the windows logo or the green talk button, an error message comes up (see enclosure) and the phone locks up again, soft reset to get out.

I have a Samsung Omnia i900L with a 6.5.5 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
I LOVE the direction that ThrottleLock is goin' in, but...

@APBilbo

ThrottleLock v0.9's introduced some really *****in' features. However, although more responsive than v0.8, it does not reach the responsiveness (or speed or sensitivity) of v0.7.1, which I still find myself reverting back to. I don't know what magic you'd sprinkled into that version, but v0.9.1 (or, whatever the next iteration is) could really use a schtikel of it. Please, please, PLEASE let that version be the one.
