Any App to lock screen (shortcut on screen ) for N900
 

Hi everyone , I have searched and couldn't find any app that I can lock the screen manually(as a shortcut on the desktop)rather than using the key all the time ?

Any help would be appreciated :D

Cheers.

I don't know of any shortcut, but I use doubletapping the power button.

It's much better than the slider, I think.

thanks for replying , that is a good hint !

I would still like a app that can be touched once on the desktop rather than pressing the power button twice , but that is just me , maybe being a little picky:p

Cheers :)

Isn't the slider the most convenient and fastest way to lock the screen??

I think everone knows that this button exists and knows what it does...
;)

My reason to realize this shortcut is a result of the way I handle the N900. If I uses the device with one hand (I'm lefthanded) the slider is not reachable until i turn it. :rolleyes:

thanks for the codes , if I do it correctly , I'm going to get the secure device button when the power button is pressed ? is there anyway to get the shortcut on the n900 desktop like for example fm transmitter shortcut ? ::D

Sometimes you just don't want to use the keyboard and want to just use the virtual keyboard instead :)

No, you already have this Device Lock (Lock with Code) and Keylock button in the power menu (originally it has no key icon)
This .desktop file "creates" an app in the "more" folder which you can put on the desktop as a shortcut to lock your N900

I'm a complete newbie (sry :o ), so after saving as .desktop file , how do I have to place it in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ ?

the app can lock and unlock the device by pressing it on desktop ?
Oh god , I have to learn basics of linux lol

Cheers.
