Throttle Lock 0.3c Beta

A new little app I've developed during my vacations. A pattern based screen lock app!! Smile

 

 

 

 

 



 

ThrottleLock is a little app to lock your device. It will only be unlocked when a pattern is drawn on a grid of points.
Important: the default code is to click on the first point (the one on the top left corner).

By default the device will be locked automatically when goes into suspended state. Optionally you can also turn it on by executing the link at Startmenu > Programs > ThrottleLock. If you don't want the davice to automatically lock remove the link placed at \Windows\Startup.

 

 

Here you have a little demostration video.

 

The app is fully skinable. You can change the skin by replacing the png files and modifying the config.xml to change the fonts and colors.

Also the app suports multilanguaje. Spanish, English, German and Swedish translations are included. 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.

Changelog of 0.3c

- Solved keys keep locked after entering correct pattern.

- Added an optional parameter for ThrottleLock to make it delay. Creating a shortcut like this one: "89#\Program Files\ThrottleLock\ThrottleLock.exe 3" will make throttlelokc start after 3 secconds.

- Solved some unlocking and pattern changing sequence problems.

Changelog of 0.3

- Battery metter

- Now runs on background. The app will keep running on background after the first start up so the locking is almost automatic. You can place a shortcut on \Windows\Startup so that your device locks even when startup (more secure). To allow freeing memory the app will respond to Hibernate message performing a full close, this will happend only if the device is not locked when resources are requested.

- Some bugs solved like two instances startup or graphical issues when voice mail or MMS where present (i forget to attach the png's for this last two cases X-D).

- Included German and Swedish translations. (thanks to aldur and T-dome).

Changelog of 0.2

- Fullscreen (can be disabled throught config.xml mod)

- Tittle bar to display time and missedcalls, sms, mms, mails and voicemail notifications (can also be disabled through config.xml).

- Startup time improvements (still it's not automatic)

- VGA compatibility mode. Will display correctly qVGA themes (like the default one) on VGA devices by using a x2 scaling. 

- 0.2b Solves: fullscreen top bar bug when changing pattern, SIP bug and Clock not updating bug.
