great app

I used S2U2 before but since a few months I switched to Pocketshield. I can say one thing : it's worth the money for sure.

Easy to use and to customize.

Nice skins.

All the customization I did is working perfectly (e.g. unlocking exceptions, application permissions,...)

There are regularly updates and the lock screen gets more and more developed too (more information).
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
definately feels alot smoother than s2u2 plus other features too. tbh i removed s2u2 because i didnt like the apple iphone aspect of it rather keeo it original..finally agree with price being a issue
[HD2 General] forumx:
I have also tried PocketShield and although it is attractive, I find that its "application exception" is pretty buggy. "Application exception" allows you to specify applications that you do not want to lock the screen, e.g. music player. I find that it will attempt to lock the screen then try to unlock it, which seems to cause some undesirable effect, like freezing the phone.

S2U2 also has this feature and works a lot better as it will not lock the screen at all for applications listed.

I do like the vertical swipe feature of PocketShield which is a lot easier to apply than the iPhone style sideway swipe. Unfortunately this one problem stops me from using it.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I think I will give this a try. Been using s2u2 without complaint, but always looking for something new. If you can just swipe the screen, then that would be an added bonus.
[HD2 General] orouborus:
im currently using it right now. trial version though. :D im having mixed emotions about it though. will still try it for a few more days. it has a lot of nice skins and is very easy to use... but im still hesitant getting it though.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
anyone know how to disable the notifications popups? apparently pocketshield enables them and I have never used them.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
i totaly forgot this one.. looks like it got amazing now

really thinking about buying it this time..
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
nrfitchett4,

have you tried to alter the notifications option in settings?
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
I also used it for a couple of time and paid for it. My problem was the following: appointments haven't updated properly on the PS-lockscreen and so I threw it away for now. Will try again later. :)
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
Does anyone know how to disable the original lockscreen on the device because when I press the power button pocketshield lockscreen appears which is what I want BUT I have just realised when I press start and lock it takes me back to original lockscreen ?! How can I assign pocketshield to this HELP
[HD2 General] J9HOB:
I have tryed and just bought it! Works great on my HD2, I would recomendit very higly but you need to understand how it works to get the best results.
[HD2 General] rkrims:
I also purchased and use PocketShield. It serves me as both lock screen and home screen. It's my biggest must. You also benefit from all the free-lifetime upgrades which is great... it's like having Christmas every month :D

You can install any of the already available at http://www.pocketshield.net/skins and change backgrounds if you don't like the originals.

Or if you have a bit of time you can make your own. It took me a day or so to make each of mine: miniMimic and Executive
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
yeah the skins are pretty cool..how did you disable your orginal lockscreen over the pockshield lockscreen??
[HD2 General] pckshd:
It should be automatic after a softreset. Also make sure to disable Sense settings tab - Security - Lock (uncheck it)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
apparently after you set it up, it changes you popup notifications to on. Just had to go in and turn them off again.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
also make sure you don't have autolock enabled in bsb tweaks.

I just checked and if you use the start menu, lock, mine defaults to the old winmo lock that just turns the left softkey into a lock button. I will check advanced config and see if there is a way to change that softkey.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
soft reset didnt do it for me..when i go to settings>lock there is nothing to untick all i have is password/hint?

bsb tweak auto lock is also off. the phone keeps reverting back to old winmo lockscreen so i have two if choose to lock it via start/lock??.. settingsplus app is really good to assign left/right softkeys just in case
[HD2 General] dbh369:
I've had pretty good results with it except:

IF I was using the proximity detector to unlock it (i.e. when I pulled it out of my pocket), I would often get pocket re-dials shortly after I hang up via bluetooth if the phone is in my pocket, which was the whole point of the software... Sometimes I would get pocket dials after an alarm sounded too. This has been true on three different roms including stock. PS hasn't been able to fix through a few updates. So I don't use proximity sensor to unlock, and I don't have this pocket dials problem. Otherwise happy with it.
[HD2 General] rkrims:
If you call Start > Lock it will always bring WM lock. You need to do Start > Programs > Lock.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
awsome, i bought it yesterday :)))

really love it, its truly better than the standard winmo one xD..

sooo many options, its just awsome =D

gonna make my own skin >=)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
you can always use one of your quicklinks for pocketshield, or can't you have it lock on screen turned off?
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
To be honest if it doesnt replace the original winmo lockscreen when i press start/lock i will be reluctant to make purchase! such a nice app thou
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
it does... xD it would be useless without that lol

well atleast for me it does. it deactivated the standard lockscreen and pocketshield took over..
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
do you think its because im using the trial version>
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
no, never xD

try activate lockscreen with the key besides the check/accept button..
[HD2 General] omershahab:
To disable original WM lockscreen you can use BsBTweaks it has an option.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
bsb tweak "AUto Lock" is OFF - im currently using CHT "hd mini lockscreen " which i think is where the problem lies but having trouble solving it
[HD2 General] rkrims:
To lock I use the "Start"(Windows) hard key instead of Start>Lock. I remapped it at Settings > ^ > System > Map hardware keys. It is faster and easier no matter where you are.

Only drawback is that then you have to use the touch screen to change volume, but Volumex resolves that issue.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
i think i found the culprit..i had downloaded hd mini style lockscreen cab which was installed on the device whixh i believe is the reason why...thannks guys
[HD2 General] nessqn:
I tried pocketshield for a while and then bought it as its such an awesome programme!

Have been using it for a while without any problems.

Even did an update today which went on smoothly.

But u need to tweak the settings a bit for smooth functioning.Initially i had few issues related to call settings but on my HD2,i have kept the following settings now:

All options unticked in "On incoming call" & "During a call"

"Lock when call ends" ticked.Infact its just for this feature i bought this software !

The next 2 settings unticked.

I have given application permissions and screen off only for certain applications and they too work nicely.

Now waiting for a reply from developer whether lock screen notification of IM is possible.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
again a feedback from me, im using full version since some days now.. its amazing. definitely worth the money, trust me :)

i just love to swipe the screen

i just love to read sms on my lockscreen and being directly in my sms app after unlocking, exactly the same for emails and calendar..

i just love the look :))))
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I just bought it as well. Been using it for a couple of days and so far no regrets. I did ask on the pocketshield forum if it was possible to have it create a .reg file with the settings like s2u2 does, for easier importing after flashing.
[HD2 General] rkrims:
They actually added that feature to the requests list http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,9910,9954#msg-9954

Looks like will be coming soon
[HD2 General] rkrims:
Check out my new skin :)

Details at http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?6,10101
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
im using this skin now^^ i like it

but i cant find the background with megan fox ;( i dont have a bg2 in the folder
[HD2 General] hgalanos:
Guys, I have read each and every post.

I have a HTC HD@ with officla 1.72 WWE ROM.

I removed my previous lockscreen (Metro style), soft reset. Installed Pocketshield, configured it, then soft reset.

I love it.

BUT I get the double lock screen. I have tried everything. I removed autolock in BSB, and checked all the settings.

Each time I swipe to unlock, I also get the default WM lockscreen. It's doing my head in

I had to remove pocketshield, but I don't want to as I really like it.

Any advise?
[HD2 General] rkrims:
This worked for me:

* If using CHT, enable CHT lock.

* HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend = 0 (softreset)

* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Enable = 0

* Remove any shortcut at \Windows\Startup having the word "...lock..."

* If having any tweaks app, disable "auto lock"

* Do not lock by doing Start > Lock (to lock use PS icon or power button)

http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,10361,10509#msg-10509
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
or u could just use bsb tweaks and disable the lockscreen option in it. probably the easiest way, search for it in the forum
[HD2 General] hgalanos:
Thanks, those reg changes fixed my unlock issue.

I have another question.

I installed the WP7Lock theme. Works well, however I do not like the fact that on the lock screen when you don't have any appointments you get the text:

No upcoming appointments

(Today and tomorrow agenda)

This is not required. Obviously if the lockscreen is blank, I do not have any appointments, I don't need this text to tell me that.

Is there any way of getting rid of it?
[HD2 General] pckshd:
You can remove it with HKLM\Software\Pocketshield\Skins\1074\Agenda\noAppt=1
[HD2 General] william1980:
I just got my HD2 and installed pocketshield and its great! much better and complete than the standard lock
[HD2 General] sthEn:
Bought it today with 50% sale, great app :)
[HD2 General] MoHed:
Using it for 1 yr on my HD2.

Using it for 1 yr on my HD2. No probs at all.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
hey guys is there a way to assign the CHTv2 Lock softkey to pocketshield??

also are new skins easy to make

as a novice?
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
While Pocketshield was a really nice lockscreen, I had issues using it with Energyroms. When sliding the screen up to unlock, I would still need to press an unlock softkey which defeated the purpose. The Dev was trying to figure out why this was happening, anyone know if it has been corrected?
[HD2 General] rkrims:
These steps have worked for many: http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,10361,10509#msg-10509
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
Are skins easy to make as a novice? I would be interested?
[HD2 General] rkrims:
No need to be an expert. If you know PNG alpha transparency basics you should have no problems.

All the rest is about placing the graphics on the right screen coordinates (X,Y).

You can easily design your skin in Photoshop or any tool, then break the images apart and position them according to http://www.pocketshield.net/PSSDK.htm
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Yes, not hard. You can also get assistance on the skins forum (http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/list.php?6)
[HD2 General] GLO:
Im having the same issue, otherwise its a great app, that i plan to buy shortly!

Any fix so that this doesnt happen?
[HD2 General] pckshd:
notifications

That will only happen when you enable Notification Booster for a specific notification. What PS does is disable the "repeat" feature because Notification Booster will take care of it, otherwise you could suffer a notifications spam.

You can however override it going to Start > System > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications.
[HD2 General] pckshd:
The app is on sale for just $4.99
[HD2 General] GLO:
I highly recommend this app!

The developer is also very responsive and active.

It is my must have app, and is especially useful if you have push email or receive alot of SMS, because the screen activates and i used to accidentally dial in my pocket!

Now that doesnt happen with this app!:D

Infact i bought 2 licences last Xmas for myself and my wifes HD2.
[HD2 General] cariocap:
In my HTC HD2, PockeShield version 3.7.0.8 is crashing a lot.

pckshd.exe crashs every day.

I'm using the latest stock ROM version 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE.

Anyone having similar problem ?
[HD2 General] GLO:
There was a time that i experience hanging and crashing.

In my case the hanging was infact a faulty motherboard, and the crashing was due to a conflict with another app. (from memory, it was voice recorder)
[HD2 General] tunppi:
this is probably the best program for HD2/winmo device!

works flawlessly on newest energy rom, some problems on different custom roms seen.
[EVO 4G General] JMac202:
I really dislike the stock HTC Sense lock screen. I tried widget locker and dont like how the top notification bar still scrolls down when its on the lock screen. Doesnt work for me.

Is there an apk for this or do I need to root (Which is like speaking a foreign language to me) and I dont really need to do. Other than if we can get free hotspot with root then I dont need it.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
With Root you can do both without it you can do neither.

I take that back you can do hotspot for $29.99 a month.
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeterslint:
Hi all,

If anyone wants to play with this and let me know how it works feel free.Its the system directory from an AOSP eclair build using the Samsung Vibrant source download from the opensource website.I have no Vibrant myself I just built this as a test to see if it would build clean with no errors using the samsung files as a test for when the Epic 4g sources get released.Please feel free to use it in a rom or whatever you chose and post back if it works or not.

www[DOT]mediafire[DOT]com/?wytytv44odtdsdx

EDIT: This is not flashable! This is a stock /system filesystem from a build of AOSP android this is the base for a ROM not a complete ROM in itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] psychoace:
Most likely it won't work cause Eugene is working from the aosp but is running into problems getting sound and camera to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeterslint:
I was just surprised it compiled the first run I saw another post where they were getting a lot of errors.And I figured there would be corrupt files I had a hell of a time extracting the archieve.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
Thanks for posting that. I would like to have a look around but I wasn't sure where and what to grab.

Rhcp thanks for reposting a real link kinda sucks not being able to post them.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Not a problem. Post some more so you can update your OP.

Good work on the build. Did you build the kernel too?
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
There is no Kernel in a system image.
[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
just got home, gonna dl and see what cooking
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeterslint:
I haven't tried building the kernel yet but I pulled the intramfs from a vibrant and captivate kernel to compare them togther and see if there are any real differences which it seems there really isn't that I noticed.One thing I did notice though is that the samsung kernel sources don't build the initramfs into the kernel that I noticed.With the Samsung Moment the sources had a file to build the kernel modules and a couple other programs that went into the intramfs and it had the initramfs_list file hidden inside the source somewhere it doesn't seem like they did that with the vibrant kernel source.How do they expect you to build a kernel that requires an initramfs in it and not build it into the kernel during the compile?I am gonna tinker around and probably use the initramfs_list file from the Moment initramfs and just add in all the directorys and files that are in the vibrant/epic/captivated initramfs.
[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
it gets stuck on "installing update"
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
my clockwork does that from time to time with any zip file, just pull the battery and retry
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeterslint:
Thats just a raw /system filesystem it would need to be cooked into a rom for it to be flashable.I threw it up there for someone to try and cook a rom out of it.

Has anyone had the problem when trying to compile a kernel that the suppiled build script doesn't build the modules?I can get the zImage to build but it won't build the modules at all.I would like to at least get it built with the samsung script and get the modules built then use the modules in the initramfs and try to build it with another script with the initramfs in the kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
same problem I had with building the kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeterslint:
The captivate kernel builds with the samsung script with no problem modules and all, used the captivate script with the vibrant kernel source same deal builds the kernel but no modules.

Eugene,

If I'm not mistaken...that's the stock home launcher for 2.2 isn't it? Or are you running adw/launcherpro
[XPERIA X2 General] u.b.o.o.t:
Does anyone know how to change colors of the Xperia Dialer?

It's not affected by WM color schemes.

I didn't manage to find anything in the registry.

My Otterbox Commuter Case broke today. Right on the seam above the volume buttons. Obviously a manufacturer defect, I'll let you know what OtterBox has to say about it.
[Nexus One Accessories] Christopher3712:
If they don't replace it, i've got one i'll sell you for cheap. $10+s&h. I have the impact, commuter, and 2 defenders. Don't ask, long story.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrandonG777:
I didnt even know Defenders were out. If I end up buying another one that'll be what I buy. Make me a good deal on one of those?
[Nexus One Accessories] KNK:
I just got the communicator and I am totally impressed by it. I wish I had this when I bought my Nexus One ... lol.

I hope you get it replaced for free from OtterBox. Good Luck!
[Nexus One Accessories] mkrmec:
are you saying it just broke all on it's own sitting on the table?
[Nexus One Accessories] cmarti:
Probably putting in and removing it from his pocket.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrandonG777:
I carry my phone in my back pocket, so perhaps thats a valid theory. But I believe the way the thing is designed, if you take the case on and off a lot, say to replace/remove the battery frequently, which I do since the battery wont last me a full day, even with SetCPU profiles, it stresses this weak point in the hard shell and will eventually lead to it to breaking. Another bad design and possible cause is that the way it lips over the rubber layer it's possible it got caught on the inside of my back pocket but I never recall feeling it snap or anything. So honestly I dont really know how exactly it broke but I would advise staying away from this particular case. I had the impact case before this and it worked well for just a rubber sleeve. I ordered a Defender case, I'll let you know what I think of it but I already believe I paid too much, even through Buy.com I will say that the Commuter case is still holding up good despite the corner seam issue. BTW Just so everyone knows I'm pretty good with my stuff and I'm not a clutz who drops their phone 20 times a day. Never lost or broken a phone and I didnt start using a case until my iPhone.
[Nexus One Accessories] BrandonG777:
Ok no response from Otterbox. I tried calling them originally and it was like 23 people in front of me so maybe they are overwhelmed ATM. Received my Defender case this morning. Wow. Yeah it's twice the money because it IS twice the case. Yeah it's thicker and I REALLY hate thick cases but I don't think I mind this because it feels good in your hand, it comes with a holster which I think is sorta gay but I'm going to give it a go, since I've missed a lot of calls since getting this phone and I'm on call two at a time so it's critical that I hear my phone ring. I used to cary a Nextel Motorola isomething, think military grade phone or what this case gives it a very similar feel. If you work outside at all this case is a must.
[Nexus One Accessories] McFroger3:
So I have a really funny story. I was looking at oyur picture to see where it broke, then I looked at mine, squezzed it a wee bit, and snap, mine breaks just where yours is. Well I guess theres my excuse to buy defender lol.
[Nexus One Accessories] Mike Blitz:
Mine broke about 2-3 weeks ago, they were very good with sending me a replacement. I received it within a week, US to the UK with priority FedEx.

All they asked for was a few pictures detailing the damage with a piece of paper in the back of it.

I was thoroughly pleased but I did buy the Defender earlier in the week.
[Nexus One Accessories] cmarti:
No! Get a replacement under warranty and sell it then with that money get the Defender which by the way I receive today from buy.com and it's superduper cool!
[Nexus One Accessories] britoso:
wow that sux for a $35 case!

My $2 gel case is still going strong, have even dropped it on the pavement with no damage :P
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
Heh hard plastic != gel :p

Anyways, I've used my commuter case for over two months now, dropped it a few times and have it in my jeans and it looks just as good as new. Was bored yesterday though and got bit by the ebay bug so now I've got a Defender case on the way in the mail :p
[Nexus One Accessories] cmarti:
You will love it! The Defender is soo.. Awesome.
[Nexus One Accessories] jojoatt:
With the Otterbox Commuter case, how you take off the hard wrap plastic is key.

Installing: Always put on the volume bar side first

Taking off: Always detach the right side (opposite side of volume bar side) first

I have the defender now, but the commuter is also a fantastic case offering decent protection.

I recently had to flash my phone back to stock firmware and I lost the Samsung IM app... I have searched high and low to find it.

Does anyone know where it can be downloaded? I am sure it came with an update to Social Hub, but I dont even see that in the Samsung Apps Market.

Thanks!

PS: If someone maybe wanted to upload the apk for it, that would be pretty awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beast11:
BUMP! I am looking for this as well... And i dont think itll be as simple as the apk ccause its odexed on the phone itself...

go into Samsung Apps in your phone

then refresh, then it will show up

then install

then setup your accounts

then use IM
