[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mail_e36:
Hello folks,

Does anyone know of a way to encrypt the entire Rhodium device? I know we have the ability to encrypt the SD card in WinMo 6.1, but is there a way to encrypt the entire device? In case the device is stolen, it would be great if everything was inaccessible. I believe the company PGP has something like this for the BlackBerry RIM platform as a commercial platform. A solution like TrueCrypt for Windows Mobile would be great (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt).

I know there is a remote 'self destruct' function if your phone is on a corporate Exchange server, but that function only works if your stolen phone has network access. A semi-smart thief would not permit network access of any kind once they 'acquire' the device from you.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sleuth255:
If you have a sufficiently strong password then its pretty academic; the thief would have to remove the RAM chips to pull data. However, security people have narrow vision about what constitutes a security threat and pay little heed to the affects their esoteric thoughts have on usability/productivity and consequently profitability losses. As an example, my company uses Trust Digital to encrypt Windows Mobile phones that they issue. Unfortunately, encryption adds so much overhead that even a TP2 gets sluggish. Manilla is almost unusable on company encrypted devices.

You can use the device lock policy and push it via exchange, you can set the device to wipe after x incorrect PIN entered. They can't access the SD card (because it's encrypted) or main memory (because the device is locked).

In terms of bricking the device, I think HP's iPAQs had a PIN tool that survived a hard reset, and some ROM chefs have offered to cook in Sprite Terminator which will also then survive a hard reset, but nothing can stop people from going into bootloader and reflashing to unbrick the device.

Try googling DOJOCRYPT..

try Utimaco SafeGuard.

they even offer a trial version. however be careful because you cannot uninstall it (only with hard reset)

are you using apps2sd? if so, are you using amon ra's recovery?

if both of your answers are yes, you can back them up to your fat partition on your sd card from recovery. if not, you're going to have to adb pull your /data/app folder.

New Android Build..any interest?

Hi all. I managed to get notime2d8's Froyo build for Universal running on my apache (just running but not really functional; looks great though) I posted in his thread to let him know what a great job he did. He said he may create a test build for apache if there is enough interest. If interested please post in here or you can email me and I can let him know if it is worth it to try (It is to me). Or if there is someone in this thread that can create a build please do. The 1st chillaxin android runs great but is not functional, his M5 build was too complicated for me to figure out how to boot. But it seems as if the groundwork has already been laid.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Some people requested a way to keep the keypad lights on while the display is not in standby. By default the keypad lights turn off after 10 seconds when the device comes out of standby. This little tool keeps the light on while the display is on.

Originating request thread (1): How to force HD2 to backlit buttons...

Originating request thread (2): Keys lit! (always)

Article on pocketnow.com (with pic): Tiny LED Backlight Application for the HD2

Install or upgrade

1) Download the .cab attached to this post, copy to device and run it

2) Restart your device

* It adds the app to your \Windows\Startup dir

* It automatically closes KeypadLedControl during install, so you need to soft-reset even if you upgrade

Version history

v0.4

- Fix issue where keypad light stays on when device enters standby because of timeout.

v0.3

- Add initial support for Rhodium (known issue where keypad light stays on when device enters standby because of timeout in power settings)

v0.2

- Little battery saving

v0.1

- Initial version

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Trevor_g:
Hi NetRipper:

A bunch of us over at PPCGeeks (Rhodium forum) have been looking for a solution as well. Someone stumbled on your post here, and I just tried out the app on my Touch Pro2. Below is my post (I offered to "test" it and report back).

Looks like it's almost there! We're happy you're beginning to support our devices too. Peace!

-----------------------------

No takers? Ha ha. Alright, I'll try it out...

Ok, I've installed it. First impressions: it works. And if you turn the device off as per usual, the lights go off with the power button. However...

One caveat (as per the disclaimer on XDA): if the device goes to sleep itself (ie. after 1 min of activity or whatever you've set that to) the lights DO stay on. This is a pain. For instance, if you get a text message while the device is in your pocket and you don't notice it, those lights will stay on till you do. I would assume this would have an adverse effect on your battery life.

So it's not ready yet. Let's hope NetRipper keeps working at it. I'll post this over at XDA too so he knows we're interested. :)

How much of a drop in battery life would you estimate would result from this?

I'm really annoyed that the lights go off so quickly, but I'm also pretty annoyed with the Leo's battery life, wouldn't want to decrease it even further. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:

Is there a way to temporarily turn off the lights? When watching movies for instance.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fyase:
Thanks for this great app!! In the next release is it possible to have an option to keep the light of the keypad on when only backlight is on?

thank and sorry for my English.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
This is odd. Do you have a Leo? It should initially turn on the lights when it gets out of standby (when caused by keypress). Anyway. This could be fixed when I have a fix for the Rhodium to detect standby (and also detect out-of-standby).

I'm using Visual Studio for this. It's just a copy/paste of the only .cpp file (besides the stdafx).

I do plan on fixing this for Rhodium. I'll update first post when there's a fix.

I estimate a very minimal drop of battery life. When the device is in standby, there shouldn't be any drop as the app is suspended as well. When the device is active, it's only the led that causes battery consume. It should be minimal.

Awesome, thanks!

The keypad should only be on when the LCD is on (also when dimmed, but still on). If the keypad is on while the LCD is off, that's a problem. If you have the Rhodium, it's a known problem. Actually, if it's the Leo, then it should be fixed when it gets fixed for Rhodium as well.

No ETA on the fix for Rhodium yet.

Thank you so much, NetRipper - I am a Tilt2 owner and am looking forward to using your cab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RichardC:
Great app NetRipper, thanks. It is difficult to understand why this functionality is not already built into all phones - it's a no brainer (HTC, are you listening?).

It's probably not possible but it would be a nice feature to dim the leds when the screen is dimmed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Syphon Filter:
Any chance of posting the .exe alone (i.e. not in a .cab) please?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] WarlockW:
HURRY ! lol

Thanks for the feed back netripper!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
I doubt the hardware supports this. :)

You can simply open the .cab with 7-zip, winrar or similar and extract the .exe. Note that wherever you place the .exe, you must start it on every boot (hence I chose \Windows\Startup as it's location). Alternative is putting the .exe in it's own application folder, and creating a shortcut in \Windows\Startup, but as the .exe is only 6k, I didn't bother). :)

And yes I favor inline comments, sometimes even for the obvious things. :) Helps me a year from now to understand why I did some of the stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Syphon Filter:
Hrm,

I tried this but all I could find inside the cab was an xml file and two other files (with extension .000 and .001).

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
The KEYPAD~1.001 is the .exe. The _setup.xml describes these files. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Brilliant work dude!

ill be trying this now!!

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Updated to v0.4. Should fix the issue for Rhodium (and maybe for some with Leo if they also found the keypad light not to go off when device goes into standby).

@Syphon Filter

In the new cab the .exe is the KEYPAD~1.002 :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] corzradio:
my question..is

how to keep the keypad lit ..even when the backlight goes off!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Sorry. On the Leo, this is not possible. The driver turns it off when it goes into standby.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Actually, it is possible (with only a slight modification of the source code of this application), but why on earth would you want to do that? Your battery would drain.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] saumaun:
Thanks NetRipper, I got this working on my Rhodium!

A few questions though:

1. What is the purpose of the setup.dll in the cab? I viewed it and couldn't find any functions in there.

2. Does the app change my backlight timeout settings? After installing, I noticed my battery AND external power timeouts were disabled, meaning my phone stayed on forever :)

3. Would I have any issues if I change the install directory? I organize my Program Files folder and put the .dll inside "\Program Files\System\Keypad LED Control\" but kept the executable in the start folder. Is this alright?

Thanks for your hard work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
The setup.dll was added in v0.4, and sets the event to shut down the currently running KeypadLedControl (in case you had already installed v0.3) as the installer can't overwrite a running .exe.

Here's the code for the setup.dll if you're interested (excluding .def file):

http://netripper.pastebin.com/f31eb8f26

No, no settings are changed at all. This must be coincidence or some other app you installed.

Actually I didn't realise the setup.dll would be installed on the file system. It doesn't need to be. So you may ignore this. Please note that this app puts the .exe into the \Windows\Startup directory. If you want to move it from there too, you should put a shortcut to the new location in \Windows\Startup, otherwise it doesn't start at reboot anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] saumaun:
Thanks for the info! I'll go ahead and keep it in then.

Just did a hard-reset and can confirm it was a coincidence... I only updated Spb Time, so maybe that caused it.

Sorry for not being specific! The setup.dll file isn't installed to the system. The .dll I was referring to was "KeypadLedControlSetupActions.dll" which is installed to "\Program Files\KeypadLedControl\". I changed the folder name and it seems there are no issues, but do you recommend me changing it back? You know best! (I'm not quite experienced at interpreting source code :D )

I already made the shortcut and it works perfectly! All of us appreciate your work (those of us over at PPCGeeks have a thread about this app as well lol).

The only things I can suggest for future updates, if you have time, have been mentioned before:

- reduce/eliminate wakeup delay

- allow buttons to turn off when backlight dims

Still, the app is fairly solid as it is. I'm glad there are developers like you that are willing to write apps like this that make our devices more customizable :) Keep it up!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
Ah. That dll is in fact the same as the setup.dll, just differently named. Somehow the Visual Studio deploy project needs the .dll to be deployed for it to be used as customized setup.dll. It's not needed after installation, nor is it required for anything. You can safely remove or move it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Andy-D:
Excellant app... really useful.

Would there be any way to keep the keypad lights on the basis of external power? When I'm in the car and its sat in its holder I have power applied, after a few minutes the screen switchs off (which is fine) Would be good to be able to see the buttons in the dark.

Just a thought....:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] les_paulde:
Thanks for this brilliant app, really makes life easier! :D

Just a thought, but would it be possible to include light sensor information that it only keeps the buttons backlit when its dark (ie. light input below a certain threshold), this would help keep battery drainage in check I guess as we only need the backlight in the dark...

Thanks again though, excellent stuff! :)

thanks thanks thanks , works exellent, thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] z_rudy:
For the sake of saving battery, would it be better if the lights were turned off when the screen backlight is greater than a certain level? This is because when in a lighted room (or under the sun), the auto backlight feature increases the brightness. In such conditions, the keys probably don't need lighting up anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ImazombieX_x:
Hi, I installed this on my touch diamond and it only works when I turn my phone on, but once I turn the screen off & on again the leds dont come back on.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ahdai:
Trust what we said. The power consumption for the tiny LEDs are negligible. The only battery killer is the radio,CPU and backlight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kalhimeo:
Dear NetRipper,

Thank you very much for the update version for the TP2.

It works quite well, even if there is a slight delay when turning the device ON until the keys light up, but that's ok :)

May I put a small feature request here, it would be nice to have an option to maintain the backlight of the keys only when the device is on AC power.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Precisely. I bought Pink Floyd's Pulse on CD about 15 years and it had a flashing LED on the side of the CD box, obviously powered by a small watch battery embedded in the packaging. It was still flashing about five years later before finally giving up. The power an LED consumes is so small it can be effectively ignored.

A superb little hack by the way, I have always found the buttons powering off annoying.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] J_Hutt:
FYI this works perfectly on the Topaz/Diamond2

A feature I would like to see is the option to turn the button backlights off completely, regardless of whether the screen backlight is on or the button is pressed. I use the buttons for back/forward in Mobibook reader and find that when I press them, the button backlights come on. Now with this app, they will be on all the time. Would prefer them off when I am running this app, and not to come on when buttons are pressed. Could this be accomplished with a -off switch in the shortcut, then when the app is run again it reverts to normal function?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
That's odd. Did you soft-reset after you installed the .cab? It takes a soft reset before it works. You're the first to report this problem. Which makes me think you have a special situation, like a custom rom or something?

KeypadLedControl v0.4

hi .... have tried to use ram sweeper having the device installed in cab

keeps the lights on the pad until you turned off the screen?

I undo the effect of the cab ........ even after a soft reset back after working ...

But unused RAM sweeper.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NetRipper:
I'm sorry. I really don't understand your post. What did you do? What is the problem?

If RAM sweeper somehow disables KeypadLedControl, then that's a problem of RAM sweeper.

[edit]I just checked google for RAM sweeper. It kills every process not in the whitelist.txt. So you have to add KeypadLedControl.exe to whitelist.txt.[/edit]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] manimal666:
@ Netripper - A feature request if I may. Would it be possible to make KeypadLedControl make the button LED's go off after a configurable time but come on again if the screen is touched. I use my SatNav at night and dont want the buttons permanently lit when the screen is on so pushing a button or touching the screen would make them light up again for the configured time.

The time configuation could be set so that 0 turns the LED on permanently for those that want them on all the time when the phone is on, whereas setting another figure could be the number of seconds before it turns off (e.g 30).

I ask this as without having them on permanently, by using KeypadLedControl, the button LEDs only come on if a button is pressed.

Hope that explains and that you can accomodate the request, time permitting of course.
