Kinda Like This App..

I am courious, has anyone noticed memory consumption issues? I seemed to be running low on mem and overnite the device became unresponsive (had to hit the old reset button). Also Thanks to those that have worked on this app for us code challenged folk.

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marktang:
are there any guidelines on how to do this correctly? please post a link if there is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KarhU:
You can use whatever picture you want (in .bmp) by naming it wallpaper.bmp and putting it into Re's Launcher & Unlocker\GFX\Res folder. You can edit the default wallpaper named black.bmp (today screen background) too. It is black on purpose though you will have to change icons and their captions to use Clownfishes instead.

treo700 iPhone

I've enjoyed following this app but have had mixed results on my Treo700wx. The launcher and slider run okay but the slider seems to be cut from the bottom of the screen. I may be missing somethign obvious but it sort of kills the coolness factor when you can't unlock it.

Is possible to add 3 or 2 icons ? like message , BT icon and missed call .

After clock update work perfect .

Do you know where can i find in WM 2003 register the operator name and the signal strengh?? i need it becouse it istn working properly on my iPAQ h6340 and i try to change the launcher.exe source code to make it work properly:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deviusdragger:
Well i figured a quick work around to the incoming call not showing up when you have the slider lock on. when you receive the call, the bottom tray only comes up, well when that comes up press the middle little button that brings up the keyboard to type on. once you do that it will actually show you who's calling. try it out and see how that works
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sagivhadaya:
so was anyone able to fix the clock issue?

its 4 hour behind in my case..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] malloth:
there's an awful memory leak in this app!!! when you look at settings-memory you shall see 0,01MB of free RAM dropping each 1,5 second!!! the rest would be great.. what's more however, when I looked at source I become terrified - someone doesn't know the meaning of word "code optimisation". about 50% of the whole code is needless!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolas:
hey malloth, dont flame - optimize ;)

i have german translated images here, will post them if anybody is interested.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolas:
hi folks, i attached the german bmp-pics and the corresponding gimp-files.

and here is a (very basic) tip, for a launcher-closing worakaround.

in the config file, i linked the Pocket-Plus Action "Close" to one of the buttons.

ipod=\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spb Pocket Plus Actions\[Close].lnk

and here, my personal wishlist to all ppl-programmers out there with a running compiler ;)

1. a 16. button would be nice (just for visual completition)

2. not so memory-hungry slider application

3. and maybe a hidden "close launcher"-button. just like the hidden button under the clock, to start the slider.

thx and regards

nicolas
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deviusdragger:
Yeah optimize it!! if i knew how i would but i dont know how. I only mostly use the slide lock and not the launcher program. i already have all my launcher icons on my desktop so i really dont need the launcher program. But its all good here on this end. now memory leaks or anything.

iLaunch

Has anyone figured out how to link any of the iLaunch buttons to open any of the following...

contacts

programs menu

settings menu

An alternative thought of mine was to find new programs, such as above that can be integrated into a new WM6 rom, that would bypass the MS programs through iLaunch. Any suggestions?

Also, I am working on all new icons that are much more readable, better graphics, and are exact replicas from the real deal.

I am looking forward to the recompiled version of this that includes tge fixes mentioned in this thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] raymondu999:
The one provided in this thread isn't the iLaunch. It's a prog that is designed to emulate it as well. Look at the link in the first posts and you'll see.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bradsnw:
You are correct, sorry for my mis-terminology, but this is the same program that I am trying to perfect for our WM6 devices - in may case, HTC Wizard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolas:
use the "lnk"-file in your start-menu. in german the line goes like this:

New Version

coming from the discussion thread at the ariane forums

(http://www.arianesoft.ca/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4337.30)

a new slider version (not really version, more: user enhanced upgrade) is available. i attached the file.

v.1.20:

The time is in 12 hour format; it loads much much faster & support ClearType.

Enjoy!

the 12h time format is sad for me, but it really loads a lot faster. the package also contains new images . i think the time is now made from images rather than real fonts
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tcd2004:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KarhU:
This thing loads faster but then it runs pretty slow even slide to unlock animation is lagging. Am I the only one with such an issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deviusdragger:
Im trying out the new slide.exe and its working just fine. i love how it comes up faster now. and also mine is running normal. there is no lag or any slowing down on my wizard. and on the launcher program Ive actually replaced a couple of the icons off and replaced them with some of the ones i used for my ilauncher program.

Im gonna rewrite this app completely in Visual studio, thats the main app, I think the slider is fine tho. Gonna make it fully customiseable so one can choose icons as well as text under the icons, backgrounds etc. Will need some development done tho. Does anyone know for instance where to find the operator name in the registry as well as battery level and signal strength?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] auyongtc:
Most of the status information you can find at HKLM\System\State

like battery, you can find in HKLM\System\State\Battery

current operator name can be found in HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name

Signal Strength's in HKLM\System\State\Phone somewhere

Basically everything in HKLM\System\State would be of interest to you in sourcing the current phone status info.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolas:
damn , thats a good news. if you rewrite the complete launcher-app, maybe you should stay in contact with A_C from here (http://www.arianesoft.ca/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4337.30) he developes the "slide.exe"

so maybe there are synergy effects ;)

So is there a cab file or zip file that has everything including the various tweaks discussed in this thread? The cab file that some used has been pulled and the archive.zip file from a few posts ago does not have the launcher.exe file in it.

edit: I found the launcher.exe in the zip file linked to in the first post. When I run it I get a blank screen but with battery and clock. When I tap the clock it goes into the locked screen no problem and that works great.

Can anyone post a 12hour version for 240 x 240 screen size?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] darkilici:
Can this be modified to turn screen off (i have mapped a hardware button to Slide, and i want to lock device and turn screen off in the same time, and when pressing any button to wake up device, to show the slide screen, and then if not unlocked with the slide mechanism in a set time - lets say 5 or 10 sec, to go to sleep again). Part of this is done by setting the backlight automatic turnoff at 10 sec, but it only sets it to minimal level, not all the way to screen off. I tried to combine it with device lock application (running slide after screen off & lock), but gives me an error on wake.

Any idea / help / thoughts?

Thank you.

You overlooked the Archive.zip posted by nicolas

It's just the slider, unfortunately with just a 12h clock, but functioning correctly on my Wizard and with ClearType support. I put it under my camera button, and I'm quite happy with it. Now, I can read the time from a distance when pressing any button (except for the D-pad for some reason). Also, it seems to behave properly to events like incoming sms-es and phonecalls.

I like the new slide, only problem is the slide button itself isn't very smooth on my 8525 w/ stock rom. With the original slider i could drag the slider button and it would go smoothly right back to the left if i didn't move it all the way right to unlock it. With the new version if i go half way and let go it pauses and kind of jerks back. The "slide to unlock" backlight in the text doesnt scroll smoothly either. Anyone else have problems like that?

IPhone Lookalike

Ok I managed to rewrite the IPhone Application in Visual Studio 2003

Well this is the beta version so it might not be all perfect.

Please have a look and give some feedback

The Battery indicator is not live, as well as the Signal Strenth Indicator.

Also the Operator name is Read from a file called Operator.txt. Ill change all the above items this week. Sorry about this but I only had about 6 hours to program this weekend.

Features :

1. All the icons can be customized in a simple Config.txt File.

2. All the Text under the Icons is also in the Config.txt File

3. All Applications thats executed can be customized in the Config.txt file

4. Application less than 100kb in size

Lemme Explain about the Config.txt

Its in the Following Format :

1.It first has the 16 icons paths as in \Icons\phone.bmp

2.Then 16 Names for the icons

3.The then 16 application paths that will run for the apps as in \Windows\calendar.exe for example to launch the camera

Installation :

1. Create a Folder under \Program Files\IPhone and copy all the files in there :

\IPhone\Iphone.exe

\IPhone\Config.txt - Configuration File

\IPhone\Signal.txt - App to run when clicking of Signal Indicator

\IPhone\Operator.txt - Your Network Operator Name in this File

\IPhone\Icons - All Icon Files

Final Notes :

1. I Need someone to work on the icons please, I dont have time

2. O yes clicking on the battery will quit the app

3. There is a file called signal.txt Where you can run any external application form im Loading the original slider.exe by clicking on the signal strength

4. I need an Icon for thiss App, at the moment its a lightbulb.

5. You can Copy all thes files to the Storage Card as Well

6. Please try and Run IPhone before Installing the System_SR_enu.cab cause it might not be needed

7. Im Running WM6 and it seems to be ok on an HTC TYTN

8. O Yes do you guys wanna run an app when clicking on the time as well as on the operator name?? I need lots of feedback

I didnt need the System_SR_enu.cab, (running WM6 WMXL 0.20)

something about the placement of icons and text seemed funny, but it may just be me.

i was thinking of a way to Enable/disable Icons, change Icons and the program launched from them.

And i think we/you should be able to pull the operator name from somewhere else than the file. (let me research that)

What was this coded in/with?

And thats about everything i could come up with atm.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Grumps:
The Original Icons had a black line all around them and the extra ones dont thats why they seem bigger because they app autosize them to 42 x 42, if someone can fix all the icons and add more ill upload them. The Spacing of the wording is not auto centering as yet, ill do that today or tomorrow so edit the config.txt file and add spaces in front of the Icon descriptions to move them to the right. There is a way to get battery level, signal strength and Operator name in the registry ill do that this evening. I Wrote the App in Visual Studion 2003
