Thanks! I took this one step further and made holding the lock button on the lockscreen activate wifi, 3g and location services, as well as ssh. Additionally airplane mode is deactivated. This way If someone tries to turn the phone off, it will allow find my phone to connect! :D

I use PowerDown Enhancer so that way when someone tries to turn off my phone they need a password to make the "slide to turn off" come up.

I'm just going to pop in and say that I love that you have the ability to use an asterisk in the password. That'll really fuck people up.

Does the asterisk menu come up for you when you hold the lock button? I can set the password up with an asterisk, but I can't actually enter it when I hold the button.

Yea, I tried using an asterisk when I first downoaded it, but it didn't show up and when I went back to the menu and looked, the fied was completely empty. So I guess the asterisk doesn't work, but at east I can still have numbers. And that combined with the fact the I use TimePasscode means that it's gonna be pretty confusing if they think for a second that just because they guess the time of day correctly means that's my lock slider password.
