hello everyone, quick question

im looking for a locking program that will lock the screen when i press the power button (device goes into standby) and when it wakes up

the default locking program with WM is annoying because you can lock the phone BUT when u get an incoming call or text message, the screen becomes unlocked again and its easy to "answer" it accidently when its in your pocket. this is particularly annoying with text messages, because most of the time i wont even realize i have one and the phone will be awake for hours draining the battery and waiting to be pushed. anyways ive done several searches and come up with the following solutions, none of which work for me

1. S2U2, i dont like it, i tried it, wont use it again
2. SensorLock - An EXCELLENT locker, except it wont work on phones without Accelerometers...works wonderfully on the diamond tho

can anyone suggest something to me

First, set timeout for turning screen off autoamtically. This will solve SMS wakeup problem - screen will turn off automatically after some time.

Next thing, incoming calls - there is great Onyx ROM with Opal's slider - to answer a call, you need to slide your finger from center to left (or to right to ignore it). You can't answer accidentally using it :)

i appreciate your suggestions but neither works for me

i tried the opal but it didnt work properly, i actually had to hard reset to get rid of it

as for the timeout, it still doesnt solve the problem of the phone becoming ACTIVE as soon as a notification or text message is received
