@everyone:

Here you have a little patch to get it working better on 6.5.5 ROMs (hopefully).

It will:

- Look the start button when locked to desktop

- Ensure that TLock is the active application if the device is locked.

- Solve the exception error reported by claus1953

To install:

- Open "Config ThrottleLock" and hit save. (this will make ThrottleLock close)

- Copy the ThrottleLock.exe file to your device overriding the file at \Program Files\ThrottleLock\ThrottleLock.exe.

Let me know if it works better :).

Thanks!

I've looking arround and it doesn't seem to be any other way of intercepting the hardware buttons :(. Though, please try using the attached file following the instructions above.

Thanks!

I can tell you that I've been using ThrottleLock on my HD2 synce I have it without experimenting any problems :). Also my girlfriend has it on his Touch2 and neved had problems with alarms (wich he uses very often). Tough, as this WM world is very wide I cannot grant you will not found any problems :(... We will not know until you give it a try ;).

Thanks for taking the time to report you thouhgts. They are much appreciated.

Thank you for the detailed report :). Please try the patched version following the instructions above.

Weird :(. 0.7.1 was using a very "dirty" method to update the screen. Is might be faster sometimes but it was definatelly worse responsive and buggy... I'll have another look at the code to see if I can improve the speed.... Wich device are you using? (Sorry if you already answer thsi question...)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
the new version works great on my hd2 with artemis rom v18 :)

i'd like to make some feature requests if you don't mind.

1. the possibility of removing the clock for minimalistic people as i am :)

2. possibility to choose between the tlock and wm taskbar.

3. the default taskbar icons of tlock seem to be kinda low resolution.

4. and for me the most important: maybe just patterns with a transparent background so you're able to see desktop/sense all the time ... kind of integrating tlock into manila sense like co0kiemonster does with his variations of lockscreens: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625483

gonna take v0.9 for a ride and keep you updated if i discover any bugs :)

thanks once again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
CDMA Rhodium. Sorry, I'd neglected to mention that. But, yeah, on my device, v0.7.1 flies. Btw, I'm talking about the actual lockscreen, specifically. "Invalid pattern. Please try again" could allow me to "try again" quicker, though. 'Always, felt that message was displayed a li'l too long. But, other than, I can swipe my somewhat complicated 4 X 5 grid pattern pretty quick and with little pressure.

@everyone:

Here you have another patch to increase speed (a lot!!! :D) .

To install:

- Open "Config ThrottleLock" and hit save. (this will make ThrottleLock close)

- Copy the ThrottleLock.exe file to your device overriding the file at \Program Files\ThrottleLock\ThrottleLock.exe.

Well... any way I've to thank you for making me review the code :). I've found a lilttle problem in the updating process and now TLock is lightspeed fast even in my old herald :).

Also reduced the time for retry to 500ms.

Please install the attached FP2 patch.

Thanks!

What about the cpu usage of this app? 0,00% ? (with Task Manager v3.3)

Less than 1Mo in Ram? :D (i've a very old device)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

I've tested it on my herald (very very old device, 850 OMAP 201 Mhz and 64MB of RAM) and it uses arround 1.5 MB (but it depends on the amount of graphics displayed). About the CPU it ofocurse uses some when you're using the app, but when it's on the background it uses 0.00% ;).

Let me know if you give it a try.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
I've a vga device, that's why i asked you this question. S2U2 needs more ram on a vga device. So TL needs 1,5 Mo? Waw!

And my last question before install it : i've a WinMo 6.1 device, can it be uninstalled correctly ? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
If it's a VGA device it definatelly not an old device... let's call it, a little bit outdated :P. My herald is a 4 years old qVGA device... THAT'S an old device :P.

Well it may take a little bit more memory if it's VGA, though, it will never reach the 2.5 MB that it uses on my wVGA HD2.

It will work in Windows mobile 5.0 / 6.0 / 6.1 and / 6.5 without any problems ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
thanks, is there a way to remove the tlock taskbar too? :) (ok, figured it out by myself) but an option for it would be nice for lazy people like me :D

if you're changing the wallpapers quite often, it would be lovely if tlock would memorize the path of the folder where the wallpapers are stored in. it's a pain to navigate to that folder each time you want to change the wp.

installed your skin (without clock) and fp2 and each time i'm accessing tlock config, the bottom bar is showing save and exit on the pattern window. i was able to exit config before entering the pattern.

edit: was checking the time it takes until the screen turns off when desktop/sense is showing. it takes 30 seconds until the screen is dimmed and another 30 until the screen turns completely off. maybe you could include some options in tlock config to set those values by yourself? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
More than 3 years, for me it's an old device : it's not a HD2 with wm6.5.3 and snapdragon, so... :D

By the way, i'll make a try of TL. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
could some one try to reproduce this bug?

when phone is locked and in desktop view, connect your phone to your pc and wait for the options to sync with active sync, use it as storage or modem. leave it and hit unlock instead. i see the default skin with blue wallpaper of tlock even when i chose a different background before! the grid size is reverting back to 3x3 instead of 3x5 as saved before. after unplugging and unlocking my settings are back again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'm not able to reproduce it.. The dialog to choose connection type is locked when it pops up... Also if I unlock everything seems normal... Could you reproduce the problem anytime? If so, please reproduce it and send me the ThrottleLock.txt file (it's the log).

I'll add the top bar too for next version ;).

For the bottom bar when entering the config.... I noticed that too on my Herald, but I take it as a minor bug as it still doesn't let you access the config settings ;).

The dimmed time and the off time are controlled by the OS, not by TLock... I think you can change those settings in the Power options of your device (at least it's there in my HD2)..

Thanks!

Hehehe, ok :). Let me know how it works :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
don't know what happened. got a sms and sense was gone after i was trying to unlock my phone. had to reset my phone because i only could access the start menu from that point :/

after resetting my phone tlock first showed up, but then got covered by the keypad for pin entry. had to do if first until i was able to unlock my phone. log is on it's way to you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ams1576:
Set it as default LOCK in 6.5.x

Can u add an option to set this as the default lock in 6.5.x?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hazard99:
Works great now that i realize the 3d tracking was a feature. I dont really care for that so i disable it.

None of the skins install on the latest version. they cause an error for me.

I cant load a background image as it gets stretched and looks terrible.

Other than that thank you for you work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Haven't tried the new v0.9_FP2 yet, but...

I've gotta say, kudos to you APBilbo. Never have I seen a dev so involved and receptive to the input of his fans. If only more devs were like you, and dare I even say commercial devs? ::gasp:: :O 'Can't wait to try the new vers. THANKS!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Now it works very nice and smoothly without any of the previous problems.

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
I'll check the logs ASAP (I'm at work right now ;) ).

BTW, note that you can always hit a hardware button (like the back or the startmenu) and it should bring TLock up theorically.

Thanks!

It should replace the lock that pops up when you turn into sleep mode. But you're right that it will not replace the lock button in the startmenu :(. I don't know how to do that :P. I'll try it though..

thanks!

Thank you very much! ;).

Great! :).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
i think tlock is starting to mess around with me ... when deactivating exit on hibernate, tlock config is starting without entering the security pattern. exit on hibernate function seems not to work here. am i the only one with those problems? :(

i'm almost at that point to hardreset my phone and install everything from scratch again:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
@APlibo,

0.9 going live on the portal at 18:00 EST ;)

Nice touch with the 3D effect, btw. I will try it in my HD2 later today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thank you very much!! :). I really apreciate it. Let me know what you think if you give it a try.

Please, update to fp3 (already on the web). There where some mayor issues in fp2 :(...

Thanks!

Random question, what is the 3d Gsensor thing? I have an I920 Omnia 2 and turn it on, but I don't see what the effect is...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
tried fp3 now. patterns entry pops up everytime when hiting the phone hardwarebutton even when screen is already unlocked! (really annoying when trying to make a phonecall).

i still can enter tlock config without entering security patterns. the patterns are still visible in background though. i can't remove the top bar and clock anymore ... tried to switch back to an old skin without them but the graphics get messed up somehow, still beeing able to see a misplaced clock :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
It worked with i900 but I'm not sure about OmniaII :(. It supposed to make the 3D effect. It should

Uploaded FP4 for the phone button thing and the clock hiding... please try it... sorry for the error :(. BTW, if you edit the skin.xml file (in your PC with notepad for example) and set the TopBarHeight to 0 the top bar will disapear too :).

You're not supposed to enter the config without entering the security code ;). What if someones changes it? He will hijack your phone. That check is there for security purposes.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
i know, that's the part where you seem to misunderstand me ... the fp3 and fp2 version allow access to the config without entering the security code because the config i poping up in front of the screen while you'Re still able to see the patterns in the background...

i'll give fp4 tomorrow a shot. don't have the time right now to take a closer look at it.

thanks!

edit: tried fp4 now. phonebutton lock is gone now, thanks! :) entering config without security code entry worked on the first time after installing tlock. opening config a second time it popped up as before beeing accessible without entering the security code :(

lock automatically,lock on startup,shwo desktop while locked,exit on hibernate are the only active options here. and i changed the background image. that's all... maybe there's a bug hidden in those options?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
hmm how does it work on i900 when there is no accelerated graphics??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dendrobium123:
i'm using CHT 1.8.5 and i can't disable the default lock screen so both is coming up right now.

i did a quick search through this forum and i can't find a solution. (maybe i such as searching)

but can anyone help me? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fxdadbrowser:
try disabling thru CHT Editor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dendrobium123:
can't, he disabled the option in the editor. so it's either his lock screen or the default one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
I'd recommend trying the following reg edit...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"AutoDeviceLockEnable"=dword:00000000

And, @APBilbo, I don't know what it is, but you're startin' to lose it again. v0.9_fp2&3'd felt more responsive and required less pressure, and seemed to keep up with my swipe better. Anyway, still leaps & bounds ahead of v0.8 & v0.9.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
I had FP2, but I will try FP3 tomorrow. Not bad, but the 3D effect could be done a bit better... I think that the biggest problem is the background not giving you the full 3D feeling... but it is very good... this has been getting better and better as years went by :)

Sorry about the title of the article. I ended up posting it as ThrottleLauncher instead of ThrottleLock... Luckily someone caught it and let me know almost at the time it got posted :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Better make that v0.9_fp4, mon ami.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
okay, got the 3D thing working on my i920 Omnia 2...see this thread for fix...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] G-ThGraf:
bug repport

Your application is really cool, really better than the 0.8, more smooth and clean! Nice one, Thanks!

Bug i repport you a small bug... (On my HD2 my own rom)

I set see desktop after 10s.... The first time i launch Throttle, the lockscreen pattern appears->10s after, my desktop appears! -->No bugs!

If i launch again Throttle, i don't see the pattern... It shows me dirrectly my desktop...

Maybe be it's just a settings... ??

Have a nice day!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Aaah! I think I know what it's happening :). I think you have not closed the settings application, it's running in the background... That's probably why when you "start it up" again it just pop's up. Please try hitting the exit button and launching the settings again :).

I works great! :). ThrottleLock doesn't use Hardware acceleration ;)... So it's even slower in (w)VGA and wVGa devices than in (w)qVGA ;).

Please try the regedit by kain144000 and let me know if it works :).

Thank you for the reg. I'll check it and may be include it in further versions by default or like a checkbox in the config.

About the responsivenes... you mean that FP2 or greatter is getting a lot better, right? I've got a little bit confused about the "lose" thing (didn't get if it's positive or negative :P ).

Nothing to sorry about... I make that same mistake everytime :D.

About the 3D thing.. I will think in a way to improve it for further versions :).

Thanks!

Great!! Thanks for the link! :).

Thanks for the report! :)

You're right... There's a little inconsistence there... When TLock startsup it covers the screen, but when it's already start, but in the background, it goes to the desktop lock... Wich of both actions do you feel more conftable with?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] G-ThGraf:
i prefer return to pattern screen personnaly! But i need that he return to Hoescreen after 10s :D

But don't worrie, i shall become used
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Ok ;). I will take that into account for further versions ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] G-ThGraf:
thanks for great support! (After 28 June i will take my chance for customise Throttle lock :D)

You one question, how to backup settings? Because i'm using my own ROM so i cook in all the settings :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
That would be great!! :)

All the settings are stored inside the config.xml file :). Only thing that is not stored there are the lnk files at \Windows\Startup ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] G-ThGraf:
Thanks dude!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
i'm using the exit button everytime mate :(

sorry for causing so much trouble in here!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bvv21:
Great app! But, for some reason the notifications will not show up on my device. I have a hd2 and I'm running LEO Max Sense rom build june 11. Anyone any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xep624:
wow...

Great 3d effect. If you could port THAT to sense.... :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bvv21:
Never mind. Figured it out. What isn't working correctly is the displayed time of my next appointment (24h format). Any ideas on that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JeffATL:
I am new to Throttlelock using .9 with TP2, latest versions of Cookie,CHTEditor 1.85 and MightyRom 6/19.

I am having difficulty answering calls. The S2A does not respond to answer. I have it set to lock in the Throttlelock settings on answer call. Is the regedit my issue too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smartboy03332:
wow

working good in my xperia x1 but themes is not well in ma xperia :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Unfortunately, I'd meant in a negative connotation. I was saying v0.9_fp2 & fp3 were more responsive than fp_4. Also, I hope you do understand what I mean by responsive. The actual lockscreen coming up isn't the issue, but how quickly it responds to user contact. So, by this I mean, the pressure necessary, how fast ThrotteLock draws the touches, and how quickly it takes the input, as I swipe my pattern pretty fast, which v0.7.1 had no problem picking up. Also, I've noticed that when the device wakes up suspend for an incoming call, ThrottleLock (which I've set to Do nothing) does not allow me to mute the ringer with volume keys nor with Mute Ring on the HTC incoming call screen. Also, the screen fluctuates between ThrottleLock and the incoming call dialog whenever I press the on-screen Mute Ring button. Lastly, although Show slide to answer is disabled, ThrottleLock is still trying to display the incoming caller. I'd recommend removing all call related features when Show slide to answer is disabled to avoid conflicts with the user's actual incoming call dialog, which should just be brought to the top, with TLock just under it. And, if I do answer the call, perhaps you should implement a TLock screen that has call options that still allow NO access to the phone, such as Speaker, Mute, and perhaps even a Volume slider so that you can adjust volume on-screen, or at least see where your volume is if using volume buttons. These options added coupled with the Tlock screen sensitivity issue would DEFINITELY make ThrottleLock very for primetime... v1.0, perhaps. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] G-ThGraf:
@APBilbo

A new little, but very little bug:

When phone is locked on home screen page the windows softbutton (in softbutton keybar) works, we can open start menu and close it with home hardware button :D

PS: Now i'm loving to go directly to Homescreen and not pattern screen!

Have a nice day dude!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GODZSON:
Updates

Well done sir, It's been awhile but I truly like the updates you've done to your app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omega Ra:
I had a issue this morning answering a phone call with your slide to answer. I could slide it but it wouldn't answer, and even though I set it to lock all keys but phone buttons it wouldn't answer with the phone button either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JeffATL:
Any help on above issue? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andresi:
The 3D effekt are awesome
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] travis610:
works great!

this is working amazing and its really smooth!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sturgie:
Hi, great app, works perfectly on my Toshiba TG01

it would be better if the 3D effect worked on my TG01. only fault i can find is that there is no haptic feedback, even when the box has been checked.

thanks for your work, i would love to see this app grow :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pawjas21:
Hey,

installed the app today. It is great. But can u please make a functionality that locks the screen again after ending an incoming call? I mean, is there possibility to normally answer an incoming call (with standard view and answer/ignore buttons), without unlocking the device and after incoming call ends, automatically lock the device again to be safe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bvv21:
Anyone any ideas? Would make this great app even greater.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
The time shown in the appointment is formatter acording to the regional settings of your device ;). If you change the regional settings to display 12 hour format and softreset TLock will display it that way :).

Mmmm.... it's supposed to work that way ;). I will check it.

Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback!

I don't have a way to access the TG01 GSens API :(. I will check anyway.

About the haptic feedback, I will add some options in further versions to override the vibrate LED and the vibrate time ;).

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it :).

Thank you!

I'll check it.

Thanks!

Thank you! I'm glad to see you arround here :).

Yes :(. I've to check that one on ROMs with the startmenu in the bottombar....

That's really really weird... I'll check it. You're not causing trouble, you're just a good bug haunter.

Thank you! I'm sorry but I don't even know how to start doing that on sense :).

I will check it. You mean that you slide to the answer position, but the phone is not answered, right?... I have a friend with the same issue...

Wich themes are you trying?

That's weird.... FP4 only had some mods in the functionality but not in the graphics...

The volume keys is actually an issue, I have to change that for next version.

For the call related function, you can disable the "Override notifications" option and even set the action when a call comesin to "Unlock" so you get clear path to answer ;). You're right about the phone options... I already thought for that but I will have to work on it when the core is stable enough.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bvv21:
My device is configured to 24h format. Still in the appointments it shows a 12h format. Besides that there's a typo: next sppointment should be next appointment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lp894:
Slight Issue

I notice that when this lock is enabled, my alarm clock will NOT sound. It will "go off". And I'll get the notification that it "went off" but it makes no sound. I tried unchecking the "override notifications" box, but still no luck. Either way, I thought I might let you know.(and I'll go back and read the first few posts to see if it's in there, I'll admit I haven't done that yet but I'm on my phone and...well...yea lol)

P.S. - I'm using an HD2(T-Mo US)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] black07tc:
Alarm not working

I also have a T-Mobile HD2 and I'm having the same problem where the alarm does not work. It tries to go off, the screen turns on and then it seems as if throttlelock kills it. Other than that, I have found no problems and love it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Don't forget, the on-screen Mute Call button in the HTC incoming call dialog doesn't work either. And, I actually have all of the "Advanced Options" disabled. More importantly regarding the phone is the screen fluctuation, ThrottleLock trying to come to the front. Again, with no phone options enabled, ThrottleLock should just allow only the incoming call dialog to go to front (can't think of the word for it, I know it's not maximize, but you know what I mean :)). Lastly, setting the "When [incoming] call..." option to unlock leaves the device unlocked once the call's completed. Perhaps, you could make the (or an) option where the device is unlocked for an incoming call, but upon any attempt to change the screen from "Phone" (or cprog.exe), ThrottleLock should be activated. This way, you could use all of Phone's functions, but anything else (opening "Contacts", minimizing "Phone" to access the device, etc.) would not be possible without first unlocking the device. C'mon, I can't leave my device unprotected ... I'm a super secret agent SUPERHERO. ::shhh:: :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sturgie:
is there anyway i could help with that ?
