Screen lock/unlock utility with a sequence/pattern of points on screen for PDA / PPC running on Windows mobile. Screen lock/unlock utility with a sequence/pattern of points on screen for PDA / PPC running on Windows mobileThe app consists of 3 parts (separate programs): the lock part (Organic), the configurator (Technic) and notification register (Register).
The app works as an addition to a standard locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). It starts immediately when standart locker unlocks the screen. Then the sequence entering screen is shown, where you need to repeat the configured sequence by taping the moving shapes.
Going to check compatibility/add with different screen lockers (like S2U2) in future versions.
Locker does not consume any resources while screen is locked. It is only activated when unlock is initiated.

Current version is in beta stage, so chances are there might be some quirks here and there.
Would be nice if somebody tested it on various devices and reported how it performs.

Screens

Requirements
Hardware:
- actually no idea, but probably something relatively fast

Software:
- WM 5/6 Classic/Professional
- GAPI (gx.dll)
- .NET CF 2.0 for the configurator (other apps are native).
- Possibly might compile/test for 2003 later.

Installation
Just run the .cab from you device and then soft-reset or Register unlock notification from configurator (Technic).
Do not install to storage card.
Remove Organic.conf from device root before installation.

How to use
Run the configurator (Technic) to configure the sequence (5-10 points), accuracy, speed and unlocker type and register unlock norification (if you haven’t done a soft-reset after installation).
Lock screen with a standard locker and after taping unlock, you need to repeat your sequence by taping the moving shapes in the unlocker screen. Number in the top left corner shows which point is being entered. After 3 unsuccessful attempts or after 15 secs of inactivity, app returns to locker screen.
End Call returns to lock screen.

Version History
0.8 (latest):
- Using GAPI instead of closed-source PocketHAL libs (so you need gx.dll)
- Removed both locker screens
- Added another unlocker screen (Checkers)
- Works with standard screen locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). This needs to be checked with other lockers’ authors (in future version).
- Number of points can now be from 5 to 10.
- Installable .cab instead of .zip
