Please, this page contains important information. Take some time reading it before using the app. You can also use the forum to share your experience, find skins and ask for support.

Important

By default the device will be locked automatically when goes into suspended state
Use this software at your own risk.... and read all this page before installing!! Note that on this version I've implemented a licensing system. The app is still free to use. To get your license file for free go to

Code

www.throttlelauncher.com/keygen

.
Prerequisites

- WM5 / 6 / 61. Device.
- Net.CF 2.0 or 3.5 installed
- 340 KB of storage space.
- 1 MB of free mem.
- Will work on any device screen! It's tested to work in qVGA, wqVGA and VGA.
Instalation
copy the CAB file to your device and execute it from there ;). Then softreset.
Note that when you first start the software you will be asked for the pattern, but if you already had a previous version installed, the patter will be the one fo the previous version. If at any time you want to reset the pattern, you can delete the lockcode.txt file located on the ThrottleLock directory (you can acces that file by using ActiveSync).
Configuration

There's a tool called ThrottleLockConfig at StartMenu programs where you can change several parameters...
Skins

The app is fully skinable. You can easyly develop new skins by copying the Default skin to another folder inside the skins folder and replacing the png graphics with the ones you like. You can also change font's and spacings by modifying skin.xml file.
Also the app suports multilanguaje. Spanish, English, French, German and Swedish translations are included (though the configuration tool is only available in english at the moment)... To translate the app to your languaje just copy the texts.txt file to a file called texts_XXX.txt where XXX is the 3 chars ISO code for your languaje and then translate the texts inclued in that file. Respect the line orders and cariage returns, also take care to keep the UTC16 encoding. If you have a translation file and want to share it don't heistate posting it at the forum! I will include it in further releases.
Please find and share skins here:

Note that for skins for 0.4 and previous S2A feature was not available and those skins contains no graphics for it (it will be disabled). If you want the feature to be available on older skins just copy al files starting with S2A from the Skins\Default folder to the folder of the skin.
Changelog

• Now you can repeat dots!!!.
• Faster (implemented with the new ThrottleLauncher png rendering engine based on libpng and zlib).
• Slide 2 answer feature. On 0.5.1 this is optional and can be disabled in the configuration tool .
• 0.5.1 Includes some bug fixes to make it work faster and don't affect the default notification dialogs.

Todo


- Delay to start the lock. Now it start's automatically when you turn off the screen.
- Option to disable USB connection when device is locked (for more security).
- Advanced skining with registry info support (appointments, weather, etc).

still running version 4. besides being able to use dots twice is this worth even using since i have slide2answer style built into my juggalo rom already...... heard around many boards that version 5 is still buggy and have been sticking with version 4 for that reason.

[Shaun2120]

i'm having alot of problems with this version the s2a doesnt work and its really dragging so im going back to version .4

[jimmin]

How do you delete this completely? I have done what usually should be done by trying to delete it in file explorer but it says "problem deleting lockdemon" and "cannot remove folder 'throttlelock' access is denied"?
thanks for any help

are you attempting to do this via a link with your pc or straight on your device?

If via pc then all you need to do is rename the file to anything else, soft reset, ignore the warnings that pop up at restart, and on your device then delete them.

If straight on your device then file explorer just wont do it for you. You need to use something like Resco File Explorer which is readily available to you on this site. Just do a search. After you install it (and i one million percent recommend it over the stock file explorer) it will give you enough access to do as you wish.

And whoa I just reread what you posted.......that's not how you should be regularly deleting or uninstalling applications. You need to go to your start menu/settings/remove programs, then select the program and press "uninstall". You don't just go into your file directory and just start hacking away like that!!!

[StewPidassoX2K8]

i did it somehow using the file explorer...the file explorer is different on juggalos rom which is what im using but i did just soft reset again and no little popups came up, but thanks so much any way

Try removing using SKToolz in a deep scan. It works great. And pretty user friendly.

one app isnt better than any other it just fits your uses and needs better.... and you dont have as many options because the locks are totally different.
