SMS lock (for testing)



http://www.mediafire.com/file/nz3ljd3gyz4/SMSlock.rar


1. put the folder 'smsmod' into /home/user/MyDocs/
2. put the 'SMSlock.desktop' file into /usr/share/applications/hildon/
3. put the 'SMSlock.png' file into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon/
4. put the 2 files 'smsmodscript' and 'smsunlock' into /home/user/
5. open xterm as root, and type:
chmod u+x /home/user/smsmodscript
and:
chmod u+x /home/user/smsunlock
thats the setup complete.
from then on:
6. to lock conversations app and widget just hit the 'SMSlock' icon in your menu
7. to unlock open xterm as root and type: /home/user/smsunlock
(i did create an icon for that but removed it as anyone could just click the button to unlock, the xterm command is much more secure/private)

unfortunately it wont stop new message notifications arriving,
both the yellow notification banner
and the 50% zoom yellow preview of recieved sms still show
(still got to figure out how to hide the notifications! any ideas?)

but conversations and the widget wont open or show anything

i did notice when 'locked' app manager update would fail
'unlocking' fixes that
there may be other problems, but im sure its quite safe to test, and everything can be undone

(huge thanks to 'willi_iam' for helping me with the 'linux mumble jumble!' as im a total n00b with linux!)
