iLock like application for the standard keylock

[sambartle]

Just wondering..

Is there an iLock (from Slide2Unlock) like application available that will use the standard keylock feature rather than the slide.exe..

I tried using vjdevicelock with the -pwfoff flag and it works great... but I can't assign that to the power button on my hermes..

What I'm after is a way to have the standard keylock come on automatically as soon as I press the power button to send the phone to sleep. I realise this has probably been done before but all the apps i've tried dont work exactly as ilock does.. (ie sitting in the background and activating on power button tap - this is perfect)

Im thinking that I can probably create my own slide.exe to trick ilock.exe into running it and have that call vj's util with the right shortcut.. but thats a hassle when i'm sure its already been done.. (if it hasnt and anyone wants it ill make one though as id love this feature)

Cheers,
Sam

All sounds wrong to me - you want to just use something like SK Tools or basically anything that lets you create notifications (or use code!).

Create a notification that loads whatever.exe on power on, so as soon as the system powers on (ie after you've powered it off previously), notification is received and whatever.exe is launched.

You don't need to spoof VJDeviceLock etc.

PS Maybe I read wrong. VJDeviceLock works on my Hermes. I use v0.3 and use the -install command line option to install the above notification. It automagically locks my hermes on power on.

Check out Device Lock.

I am at work so I can't really take a look at it, but I second the idea of keeping the issue simple. Just just SK Tools, and do a bit of searching in the \windows folder.

There should be a *.exe that activates the lock feature. Then you can map it to a button. That is how I have setup the Memory Manager to a key so that way I do not need to download a task manager per se, or what I do not is that I have the task mananer.exe that comes with Black Shadow... etc.

The point is that it should be able to be done. Just take a look.

I don't think there is a specific .exe to active keylock - some phones do have one, but I can't remember if HTCs do.
It's technically an API call, but there are other ways to activate it too.
