Any way to "lock" items on the today screen? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I am using the HTC home today plug-in and Weather panel and would like to "lock" Weather panel like the home plug-in is. What I mean is, when I have several appointments listed on the today screen and have to scroll down, I would like for weather panel to "stick" so it does not scroll. Since there is an option to "unlock" the HTC home today, I thought maybe there is a reg edit to "lock" other things.
Thanks in advance for any help you may have.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Plugin you want to lock or Unlock"
change TYPE
5=locked
4=unlock

Thanks for the quick reply! Worked like a charm. I knew it must be something simple that everyone else knows, but I spent HOURS searching last night and could not find it anywhere.
Thanks again!

How to add a lock button to the Today screen on WM6.5

Before I get on to my question as the title states, I'd just like to say that I'm a long time lurker of this site, however this is my first post as you can tell. I've used a number of ROMs for my Sprint Mogul over the last year and a half or so and just want to extend my appreciation to all those that have put so much time and effort into these devices.
Now onto the question at hand,
I have downloaded and loaded up Ryan Mogul's WM6.5 sprint heavy ROM that he listed. And everything is working very smoothly so far. However, I have to say that I'd really like to add a lock button to the Windows Default Today screen. The only way I have found to lock the phone so far is to go to start and then click lock at the bottom left. I have looked through the utils and options and so far the only way to add the lock to the today screen is to get rid of the sliding menu on the today screen and go back to the old style from 6.0-6.1. Can anyone tell me how I can add a lock button to one of the panels on the windows default today screen?
Any help that can be provided is much appreciated.

i found a cab for a program called devicelock 1.2. i installed that and then mapped it to one of the buttons that i don't use (the press and hold for voice command). i find it quicker to use a hard key than to navigate to it. i also added it to the applications panel (or whatever those things are called). i am not sure where the .exe is at but you can manually map it as \windows\start menu\programs\device lock.lnk

[q] "new" app button

Hi, I think there is probably a post here somewhere but it eludes me... On my Orbit 2 I installed a program to give a "new" (sms, mail appointment etc). Is there such a thing for HD2 that could be put on a quick link?

You can either use the method samsamuel linked you to or you could set up an "action screen" on your left softkey and get access to various shortcuts like new sms/mms/email all from one screen...
Check this thread.....
Hope that helps.....
ooo thats nice, hadn't seen that before.
EDIT - oh wait,. i already have it cooked in, but bound to teh long press end key, d'oh, hehe
Thanks for the replies Guys. I think I'll have a crack at the action screen. Should be interesting for a Noob like me..........

[Request] Old school lockscreen?!

Does anyone remember the old g1 or the first mt3g phones how they had that lock screen it was a square and you had to press menu to unlock it? You know old school androids. Well I'm looking for one to put on here on my mt4g but I cant locate one. Is there even a mod developed for that to be possible?
Thanks in advanced!
..... Mr. Hammy ......
you aren't going to find anything like that style unless you use minimalistic text on widget locker to give something of that look and turn on menu unlock so menu will unlock the phone. but there is a reason why they changed to a real lock screen, the android 1.5 lock screen was bad. just being able to press menu caused alot of accidental unlocks and pocket dials.
Hmm I see well that's quite disappointing. I like the look of that. Reminds me of the old days when it only took 3 swipes to reach the end of the entire app library lol.
Well if anyone sees anything like that or makes one please send that my way?!
Thanks for your responce btw.

[Q] Hidden lock screen unlock???

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, or has been asked before but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I spent quite a few hours making my lock screen just the way I like it except for a couple two things I can't sort out. Is it possible to remove the Home, Back and Task button from the lockscreen and add a hidden slider or pattern unlock? I'd like to keep the lock screen as clean as possible while still having some security.
Thanks

[Q] Cannot Access Themer Settings

I'm sure I can't be the first person to do this but i've been searching for a good hour and cannot find a solution. I needed to resize some of the items in the home screen widget so I long press the home screen and selected to unlock the widgets. Got everything fixed to my liking but now there is not way to relock the widgets again and therefor no way to access Themer Settings?
Everywhere I press on the home screen is a widget so I get the widget pop up but no way to access themer settings to relock the widgets or do anything else. If I open themer in the app drawer it just opens the theme store with no way to access settings. I have tried dragging items to create another screen but that doesn't work. Tried downloading Zooper from the Pay Store to relock from there but it doesn't show the themer widgets.
Tried every long press, finger combination, tapping of the screen/ softkeys with no luck.
Am I being incredibly daft here?
Grand master, exactly same issue. Frustrating... How did you solved it?
