Default Lock app that works with the lock button?

There are SO many different locking apps out there I thought I'd ask everyone on CrackBerry's opinion. I have a 9930 and am looking for an app that will lock the screen, keys and side keys after insert amount of time and uses the top lock/unlock button to unlock. I'm not interested in the whole slide to unlock thing because they never work when my fingers are cold (all the time) and stink when I have junk on my hands. Anyone have any ideas?

As a sidenote I am also looking for an app to toggle blutooth that I can set to use with ExtraKeys. I don't like setting it to manage conections because the options are so small.

Thanks in advance!!!

What's wrong with Options> Security> Password? Also, the button on the top already does what you're wanting...

I'm not sure about the ExtraKeys app, but I use QuickLaunch and it will toggle bluetooth as well as the other stuff in Manage Connections.

I will take a look at the password thing. As for QuickLaunch I've tried it and I'm not really a fan. Didn't like shortcutme either. ExtraKeys is cool because it let's you use all the side keys for apps instead of just the two.

As far as the bluetooth toggle part there's a app named quicklaunch tht u can setup a keyboard shortcut for tht. The app allows u to setup a shortcut for almost anything u need. Its a great app and easy to setup.

You might want to take a look at combining MediaKeyBooster with ShortcutMe.

MediaKeyBooster has a Auto Unlock feature that allows you to define a sequence of medai key clicks to trigger launching a macro shortcut in ShortcutMe, which in turn, opens the password login page and enters your password and unlocks the BB automatically.
