hey guys thanks!! i actually did was applying the long press with unlocking dbus command using shortcutd. now i want to use it like in android -- one click lock, another click unlock..

here is what i did:---

1. dbus-scripts.d

Re: is there any way to come to lockscreen by pressing volume or camera key than power key???
 

1.dbus-scripts.d

made a file "lock" with " /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/wl.sh * * com.nokia.mce.signal tklock_mode_ind locked

/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/wu.sh * * com.nokia.mce.signal tklock_mode_ind unlocked"

2. in .documents : ->

wl.sh -

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/user/MyDocs?.documents

sed 's/locked/unlocked/g' lock.sh > ltemp.sh ( tried to directly output it to lock.sh but it gave a blank lock.sh)

mv ltemp.sh lock.sh



wu.sh -

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

sed 's/unlocked/locked/g' lock.sh > utemp.sh

mv utemp.sh lock.sh


lock.sh

dbus-send ... to lock n unlock ..... req_tklock_mode_change string:'locked'

3. in shortcutd

short press -> custom shell command
"sh /home/user/MyDocs/lock.sh'



but its not working.... its either just locking or unlocking....

GOT IT WORKING :) :)
shortcutd with dis script -->

if dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.get_tklock_mode | grep -q unlocked
then
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"
else
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"unlocked"
