Lock HTC Diamond TouchFlo 3D with left softkey "S2U2" ...

[testerics]

So...
1. Install S2U2 v.16 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
2. Disable any other locking programs or settings; could be used for autolocking only "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec" on Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced.
3. Install a registry editor (my favorite is SKTools v.4.3.1.2)
4. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone, but nothing is listed there), and write here: \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
5. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText and write here: Lock (or anything you want for the name of the button)
6. Close registry editor and... you could lock your device anytime you want!!! The left soft key that was "Phone" on default TouchFlo 3D is now "Lock" (the Phone key is already present on hardware buttons, so nothing to loose...)

Many thanks for this to A_C and mkhattab.

But this version seems cannot lock the Home key, any idea?

if you press the home button, it will unlock, but only for a second. It then automatically goes back to s2u2 screen. Although it is still possible to use touchscreen during that brief moment..


thnx.. this is a great tweak!

i did the same thing after installing the s2u2 but after a while i realized that this method has 1 disadvantage: anytime you want to lock you have to go "home first" and only in the "home" tab you can lock the device.
how i solved? i used HButton and put the lock on the "call" hardware button.
now, it doesn't matter in witch tab i am..long press on "call" and my diamond is locked.:)

Guys am i doin something wrong?
I got my HTC Diamond yesterday and been using it for a day now... i just press once on my power button every time i dont use my phone, and in that "mode" my phone is locked and in standby mode too. U cant use any keys apart from power key which brings my phone from "stand by" mode to normal mode?!
Is this way safe? To me, looks ok.
I think my rom is 1.93.0.0. this is original phone rom (not cooked one)?

Any suggestions/advices?

start-settings-system-power-key lock-> check "do not lock buttons" , and after this you could use my instructions on the first post to lock your Diamond with style...
If you want, I could provide you an registry tweek that will lock your phone automatically when the light is dimed. To unlock, you should press a softkey "Unlock device".
Or you could tell me what is your more convenient scenario for lock and unlock and maybe we could help you!

Modify registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable , change from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.
