SensorLock is a program designed for the HTC Touch Diamond (and will probably work on the HTC Touch Pro too). SensorLock allows you to lock the device’s screen and buttons, thereby preventing random button and screen presses while the device is in your pocket.

Locking and unlocking is simply done by rotating the device around its longest axis (clockwise for locking and counter-clockwise for unlocking) and can be done in any program (Media Player, TomTom etc) without disrupting normal device operation.

After Koushik Dutta posted the Stylus Sensor API new applications exploiting these features were going to surface @ xda-dev it was just a matter of time and here is one of the first Stylus Sensor application by ZuinigeRijder. Its a lock / unlock utility for devices like HTC Touch Pro / Diamond. Its got a bit of a learning curve than the other lock application.

How to use:
* Choose your “stylus lock mode”, by using the method above
- e.g. if you want to put the TD in your pocket, enable “stylus lock mode”
- e.g. if you have your TD lying on the table, disable “stylus lock mode”
- e.g. you can also use always the “stylus lock mode” when your are fine to take out the stylus for unlocking (you do not need to operate the Power button anymore)

Sunscape is an opensource alternative to the iPhone lock and similar to A_C’s great S2U2. Sunscape tries to allow the user to fully configure the screen locker down to the very last details as well as maintaining a small memory footprint and trying to be as compatible as possible with very many different devices.

This app has been tested on an Axim x51v and by a couple of people reporting it to be stable enough. It’s ongoing development so I appreciate any kind of complaint, suggestion, bug, code modification or anything else you’d like to do. These are the minimum requirements:

- WM5/6
- Compact Framework 2.0
- Install to DEVICE and NOT storage card
