[Release] Neverlock

[minos197]

Introducing Neverlock a simple daemon that checks for whether or not you have SSH enabled and automatically switches ON/OFF the autolock.When SSH is off it selects the 1min autolock duration.

It can be used without BossPreffs but I highly recomend having them so you can also turn ON/OFF the daemon for using personal autolock settings other than 1min/NEVER

Tested and works without issues on 1.1.3 1.1.4.Not working on 1.1.1,2 unless you modify the scipt to point to var/root

To install just place each file on the directory you see on the archive structure AND MAKE SURE all have 0755 permissions.

I am waiting for impressions...

Thanks BigBoss for his Bossprefs app and Erica Sadun for her utilities..


UPDATE

Just Added a new script that manually toggles Autolock From BossPrefs for those not wanting to have a daemon Running.Also Latest installer Repo here.They are both under Utilities Section

-BossPrefs Autolock
-NeverLock

Your choice

No known Issues.

V2 NO longer needs the Soft Restart.Its so smooth you will forget its running

Special Thanks to hartsteins for his tip.

I think it's easier to just use Insomnia...

[minos197]

Insomnia has a different approach.Some people like me just get annoyed by the lock screen when at home testing new apps etc.Besides thats the beaty of Iphone that one can find or make any app he needs.Else we would still be stuck with default Apple sms.app.

New Script and Repository Updated...Check First Post

[theplague]

So, is the source http://neverlock.googlecode.com/files ?!!?
Doesn't seem to work too good, does it?
At least no Bossprefs Autolock shows in Installer.

Edit: ok, found in another forum the end of that adress should be rep.xml

[minos197]

New Version 2 Updated with special help of hartsteins.Now it no longer needs the soft restart either and applies the change immediately...

Change Reflect Both BossPrefs Autolock and Neverlock.

New Repo (I hate GoogleCode for not allowing file edit) :P

Hey !

Thanks for this App/Plugin i always needed this !
But the googlecode site doesn't seem to work.
"http://neverlock.googlecode.com/files/bosslock2.zip", this link for example always gets me to a 502 server error. And it's the same with all the files.

So, is the source http://neverlock.googlecode.com/files ?!!?

Edit: ok, found in another forum the end of that adress should be rep.xml

rep.xml contains the old versions (1.0) of both the utilities.
I guess the rep2.xml is supposed to contain the v2.0's. But this is not workin =[


Edit: http://neverlock.googlecode.com/files/rep2.xml is up again ^^

Hi,

I just installed "BossPrefs Autolock" and it works perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

I prefer a timeout of 3 minutes... would you consider adding a feature to choose your timeout?

[minos197]

Its really easy to edit that.After installation go with ssh to /usr/bin/neverlock and edit neverlock.sh

You will see a line like that

/usr/bin/plutil -v 60 -i SBAutoLockTime

For 3 minutes change it to

/usr/bin/plutil -v 180 -i SBAutoLockTime

For 2 minutes you change to 120 and so on.No idea if that works for non default values of seconds like 90 or something but you are free to try..

Enjoy

will this app do anything to keep you connected to AIM app's such as mobilechat or apollo?

[cates044]

Sorry I'm a little confused.. Whats the difference between NeverLock and the BossPrefs AutoLock? I know that the NeverLock completely disables locking so that the ssh can continue to run, but what does the AutoLock do?

[IvanRaide]

You know, if you got rid of the ssh part and changed that condition-check in the script to something that checked if you were charging, then you would also have another app people have asked for, (namely the ability to stay ON when on charge...)

so does anyone know of a command that returns true if charging?

(sorry for the somewhat hijack)

Hi,

I was playing around with the "plutil" until it suddenly disappeared (I really don't know why, it just did). Can anyone please get the file from "/usr/bin/" and post it here. Otherwise I am stuck...

Thanks for the app!! I have been trying unsuccessfuly to get the last version to work on 2.1 firmware. One thing you might want to check. When I ran it, it was not working. Both off and on scripts were setting the DIM and LOCK times to the same settings.

iPhone:/Applications/BossPrefs.app/scripts root# ./autolockoff.sh
Setting SBAutoDimTime to 40
Setting SBAutoLockTime to 60
iPhone:/Applications/BossPrefs.app/scripts root# ./autolockon.sh
Setting SBAutoDimTime to 40
Setting SBAutoLockTime to 60


I modified the script for autolockoff.sh to dim and lock at -1 which is working. I used the Cydia gui source for install.

Thanks again.
