Disable the lock switch?
 
Has anyone developed anything to prevent the slider switch from waking and unlocking the screen? It's ridiculous to have the option to lock and turn off the screen only to have the switch basically get around it. It's also a pain in the *** when the phone is in a case that can nudge the switch while the phone is in it.

I'm sure there's a way to disable it in a configuration file somewhere, but I've only been able to do it by forcefully swiping my finger past it. Doesn't seem to be very accident prone. Have you tried storing your phone right-side up so it doesn't brush the switch the wrong way?

I think you should enable the lock code, then at least it won't fully unlock without enering a code as well.
system > settings > enable autolock
current code should be 12345

DONT LOOSE IT OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REFLASH


I checked mce.ini and it's only got the "power button" and "home button". I don't think it's the home button, but maybe it is? I wouldn't screw with that though!

Run "stop mce", and change "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/state" in /sbin/mce to "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switcx/kb_lock/state". Remember to "start mce" afterwards.

Yes, this is Maemo, where thanks to Nokia keeping MCE et al. closed, you are forced to resort to such stupid hacks.

"and change "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/state" in /sbin/mce to "/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switcx/kb_lock/state"."

Can someone explain how to do it, please?

How can you edit /sbin/mce ? I don't get it...

Could you be more specific? What is a unix potato? Or did you mean "You need to use a unix, potato" (where the potato in this case is me...)

You need to have root access, and you need a text editor. Like nano, vi(m), emacs or something similar...

people have shaved off the little tab on the switch and made a notch instead to be able to still use it
