You could write a script that disables the autolock when you connect to a home network and re-enables it when you disconnect. As an example, here's a script I use to create a reverse SSH tunnel when I get to work. It is located in /etc/network/if-up.d.
Just replace "CENPA" with the name or the wireless network and "su -c . . ." with the command to disable the auto-lock (you'll have to find that on your own).
Then put a script in /etc/network/if-down.d (or maybe /etc/network/if-post-down.d?) to enable the auto-lock.
Code:
#!/bin/sh iwgetid|grep -q CENPA if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then su -c /home/user/bin/LinkOffice.sh user fi
Then put a script in /etc/network/if-down.d (or maybe /etc/network/if-post-down.d?) to enable the auto-lock.

The GConf key is (probably) "/system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled" (boolean type), you can set it either via gconf-client or make a simple python program that uses python-gconf to set it.

I've created a script just like this but it seems that the part in if-down.d (and if-post-down.d) is run after if-up.d. The phone therefore connects to my "safe" wlan before it disconnects from the "unsafe" gprs. The result is that devicelock_autolock_enabled first is set to false, then to true. I was thinking about adding a delay of some sort to the if-up.d but I don't really like that solution. Any ideas? I would really like to have something in if-post[-down].d to make sure autolock is enabled when a connection is lost and no other connection is established.
For people wanting to create scripts like these, here is the information I've found so far:
Scripts run in /etc/network/if-up.d etc have access to $ICD_CONNECTION_ID, which contains the access point ID. You also have access to $IFACE, $MODE and $PHASE. $MODE tell you if the script is run because of a "stop" or a "start".
For people wanting to create scripts like these, here is the information I've found so far:
Code:
# Get the autolock status (true or false) gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled # Set the autolock status to for example true gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /system/osso/dsm/lock/devicelock_autolock_enabled true
Code:
# List all the registered internet access points IDs: gconftool-2 --all-dirs /system/osso/connectivity/IAP # Get an access point's name: gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/$ICD_CONNECTION_ID/name
I was wondering if there is any way to trigger a script before the auto-lock happens? I'd like to be able to specify wlan connections which are "home" so that the locking just doesn't happen when connected to one of those.
Is there an event handler for this? Does anyone know how I might achieve this?
