Yep, true. Sorry for not considering.
Thanks for clarification!

Seems to be true for any digital data nowadays ...

Menu - System Settings - Section General, Device lock

sorry if my question is not clear enough.
Let me rephrase my question:
Is it possible to change the device autolock timeout to lower/faster timeout?
say 1 minute or 30 seconds. right now the most faster timout is 5 minutes

Re: Resetting lock code

Ah, okay.
Now I got it.

Please check this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
#!/bin/sh



#configure timeout, may be any integer value from 1 to 999?

#iTimeout=1

echo "input timeout in minutes (integer)"

read iTimeout



##read

#system

echo old system settings

gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled 

gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_timeout

#applet

echo old applet settings

gconftool -g /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/device_lock

gconftool -g /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/autolock_period



##set

#system 

gconftool -s /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled -t bool true 

gconftool -s /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_timeout -t int $iTimeout

#applet, will only accept and show 5, 10, 30, 60 

gconftool -s /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/device_lock -t bool true

gconftool -s /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/autolock_period -t int $iTimeout



#new values

echo new system settings

gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled 

gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_timeout

echo "new (maybe not displayable) applet settings"

gconftool -g /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/device_lock

gconftool -g /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/autolock_period

Please be aware, that you have to specify timeout in full minutes ( so 90 second is not possible ).

For noobies: download att, put it in N900, open x-term and type
"sh MyDocs/DeviceLock.txt"

Re: Resetting lock code

peterleinche,
Thanks for the script
Are your script replace the the lowest value (5 minutes)?
Is it permanent? Will it still there after reboot?

btw, your echo line need "\", otherwise it complain about unexpected ")"
echo new \(maybe not displayable\) applet settings

Yes, the read command may accept any integer value from 1 (1 minute timeout, tested) up to maybe 60 or 999 minutes (not tested ;)).
It should stay after reboot, just test it yourself.

Sorry, ut it does not disturb functionality :D. Just put some more comments afterwards and it slipped in :mad: ....

Edited above post and script.

Re: Resetting lock code

peterleinchen,
I have edited your script, to make it cleaner.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

#configure timeout, may be any integer value from 1 to 999?

lock=`gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled` 

Timeout=`gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_timeout`

if $lock ; then

 echo "input timeout in minutes (integer)"

 read iTimeout

 gconftool -s /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_enabled -t bool true 

 gconftool -s /system/osso/dsm/locks/devicelock_autolock_timeout -t int $iTimeout

 #applet, will only accept and show 5, 10, 30, 60 

 gconftool -s /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/device_lock -t bool true

 gconftool -s /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-devicelock/autolock_period -t int $iTimeout

 echo Change device lock timeout from $Timeout minute\(s\) to $iTimeout minute\(s\)

else

 echo "Device autolock disable. Enable it from Menu->System->Settings->Device lock."

fi

Thanks again. Sorry for asking an oot question.

Re: Resetting lock code

Hi, Im new to this forum, wonder can anyone help me out. One day, my lock code suddenly not recognised by my n900, I m sure i didnt change the code, and no one can access my n900 and change it. It just happened, I keep getting the error lock code message. I have reflash both the firmware and EMMC many time, after it reboots, the lock code window appears. How can I get over the lock code window? Lucky enough, I have backed up all my media before it happens. So I dont mind to erase everything in the phone. Can someone help me out?? Many thanks.

But now you have to first enable it from applet and then set the interval. The applet will only show enabled when 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes timeout is selected.
But please feel free to use and modify as you like. :)

In the end it was not an oot (?, are you scottish or from MA?) question at all :D
