slider lock events?

How did you add it to the events?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
sktools and edit the notification database.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tommyd75:
Thanks!!

I will try it, also does anyone know why it doesn't show any icons for the sms, email, and missed calls?

I'm using hp6515 with wm2003se.

it's so cool.

I love this version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sargetalon:
I set it to run on wake with SKTools but there is about a 3-5 second delay for me. The app never runs in the background so that might make it slower. Three seconds is just a touch to long to make it useful as a lock on wake kind of app for me right now. Still love it though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tommyd75:
anyone got the sms, email, and missed calls working on wm2003se?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] A_C:
Please search the old posts, or read the readme.txt

Do you know where the item is stored in the registry?

Man, you always pushing me... ;) That should be fixed in next version, though having over a hundred notifications seems impossible.

BTW, thanks for reminding me that v1.06 is already VGA compatible. :)

To all WM2003SE users,

After googled a while, the "Missed Call" & "Unread SMS/Email" notifications are totally different from WM5. It's not a simple work & out of my knowledge. So this feature is only for WM5 or above, unless someone would show me a light.

Cheers,

I use BatteryStatus for that, a splendid piece of software. The author added a registry key (String-key DeviceLockExe in \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus\) on my request, esp. for running an external locking app. like slider.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] X_Farhad:
I installed BatteryStatus v0.04.201 build 0192 , then I added that string key in the registery with this value: \My Documents\Slide\slide.exe saved and soft reset,

and in the Tools tab in BatteryStatus I ticked "DeviceLock on WakeUp"

still, when i turn off the screen and turn it on again, the screen locks normally... and slide.exe doesn't run!

Any idea what am I doing wrong?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nijhof:
I cant even find that string with devicelock.exe, can you give us your customized battery?

Great work, many thanks! But the slider is still lagging a lil bit.. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Andre Koster:
I'm currently running BatteryStatus 1.04.201 beta3 Build 0182 on my HTC Wizard with WM5, with "DeviceLock on Wakeup" enabled. My configurartion works as desired.

When you say "the screen locks normally" I assume you mean that BatteryStatus' build-in lock application runs?

Otherwise (something that happened to me in the past) is the registry key really saved? I once had that resetting to quickly after changing the registry caused the changes to be lost. Check if the key is really there (and the path to slide.exe is correct).

What happens if you enable the lock icon in the system tray (go to Options > Traylaunch for that), and you click the lock in the system tray? Still the BS-lock?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] A_C:
Have you tried the Speed option?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cifer:
uum actually no - how can i change it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
I have noticed that if you initiate the slide lock program on power on it can take a while to load (obviously). But if its already running (pushing the power button on twice) its rather fast. Any possibility if keeping the slide.exe running in the background idle so when it calls it on wake its already running, thus making it faster? Just kicking around thoughts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
in the .ini file

Speed= (number between 1 and 5, default is 1) I have mine at 2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
Right, that is not the phone though. Its the slide.exe. It takes that long to launch when you run it from a file explorer too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Cifer:
Thank you! but the animation is still not really smooth.. ;
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
That is in the code, or dependent on what your OS is doing in the background. This setting is for the speed at which the slider slides back to the original position. I was only telling you how to do it because A_C suggested it to you and you asked how. :)

I have to say mine is pretty smooth. Could me how much stuff you have running in the background.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kurtslashmx:
thanks for your hard work

Hi the latest version works flawlessly no issues with speed or performance. i was able to launch the slider when the device wakes up and there is no lag time since there is the option to keep it running in the backgound.

now i have one request if you can help me

can you make the slider launch an application as soon as i unlock it?

i want to execute the launcher(the one with the iphone icons look-alike)

BTW great job. keep it up. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nijhof:
good to hear that.

i'm still really having trouble to get the slider to work with button on/off. In registry of batterystatys I couldn't find the devicelock.exe with TRE so i couldnt replace it with the slide.exe

help is very much appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
I have read this whole thread and did not see the option to have it run in the background. What is the ini value?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] diaftia:
interesting... I actually got that from the version at pdaphonehome.com. Somehow I missed that in the .ini file. This version works so much better than the version on that forum. Nice work A_C.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobstarina:
A_C

As I understand you are the author of this great application.

First of all I would like to thank you for your work. It's awesome!

I have some problems with date indication in your program. It looks like your program show incorrect text in date field when this date is in UNICODE format.

(it shows 2 bytes independently instead of creating Unicode character from them).

Could you fix it in your next release?

Ones again thanks a lot for your program.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] A_C:
@sargetalon & diaftia

There is a "Close App" option to speed up the 2nd launch, please read the readme.txt. I know the readme.txt is bit long...

For auto start after the device wake up, I replied in the old post already. It's not recommended because:

1. as you said, it takes time to load (2 ~ 3 seconds)

2. it really eats up memory (about 5M) if it's staying at the background

I hope some performance improvement in the near future as Arianesoft is improving the PPL(the programming lanuage used to write SLIDE) day by day. :)

However, I need someone to help me to write a very short C program which I think may help to further speed up the 2nd launch. If you're familiar with C & volunteer to do so, please pm me.

@kurtslashmx

I think going back to the previous app when unlock should be more reasonable.

@bobstarina

Actually, UNICODE is already supported by PPL but it takes much more time to load (about double or more). So, for the sake of majority users, I prefer not touch it. However, as I said above, who knows PPL won't do better in the future. BTW, I'm not the original author, I just pick it up & copy & paste some codes over it. ;)

Cheers,

A_C
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] X_Farhad:
yep

yes sir, the key is there, and the path is correct

ummm... I couldn't find any Options menu or Traylauch tab :rolleyes: ... anyway, the program does lag when loading, so I guess setting aside the coolness , it's not a good idea after all
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deviusdragger:
Ok here is one thing that I noticed that is really weird with the slide. on my 8125 the slider slides real smooth. super smooth. but today when I loaded the program on my 8525 the slide kind of stutters. like it hesitates a little. So it baffles me because the 8525 has a so much faster processor. so you would figure that it would be real smooth. and my 8525 has no programs at all. stock rom and everything. so what do you think can be causing this in the 8525?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] freeyayo50:
Loading takes a longer for landscape mode. Hope that's improved in the next version. Otherwise, great release. Thanx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Andre Koster:
For the options, tap&hold on the battery icon of the plugin, and select "Options" from the pop-up menu. If you let slider run in the background (Closeapp=0 in slider.ini) then it starts in 1.5-2s on my Wizard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PostDeals:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] freeyayo50:

Have you tried the Speed option? 1 is the slowest while 5 is the fastest. Please read the readme.txt for details.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] myownregister:
thanks A_C for this wonderful software!!!

i tried all versions as newer ones are posted and so far, the 1.06 works great except for the way it handles incoming calls & notifications. it hesitates to show the alert window therefor i always had a hard time answering the calls or my notifications.

however, the 1.05 release for some reason handles all the calls & notifications perfectly! all alert windows show perfectly too. i love the way the 1.06 slider is soooooooo much smoother & the landscape loads a lot faster than 1.05. but i had to go back to using 1.05 coz of the call & notifications issue.

is there a way to work around this for the 1.06?

thanks again for all your efforts!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] A_C:
Thank you for your comment. After playing 1.06 for a few days, I notice that problem too. In 1.05, a second window is created to force the Graphics engine to "sleep" after a while. But in 1.06, this is simplified to using the same window. Not sure is it because the bug in PPL or whatever reason. I'll try to revert this part in the next release.

Cheers,

Found a temp work around for the lock screen. Set your time so it displays right on the lock screen. For me this is minus 4 hours. All of your calander and alarms will not be right. But you will have the correct clown fish time.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Moke Blala:
It looks like the code gets the operator name from the registry. Do you know if wm2003 stores it in a different place than wm5? I don't have a wm2003 device to check for myself. It's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\state\phone\Current Operator Name, in wm5. If you can find where it's stored in wm2003 and want to test it, I can try and modify the code to get it working for you.

Yeah, no problem, now that I think about it I probably should have included the source with the exe files. The original code (still there, just commented out) assumed the time was in AM/PM and did some string manipulation to remove the seconds from the time. Since the 24 hour clock doesn't add AM or PM to the end of the time, the string was shorter and it failed an IF statement that is done before writing the time to the screen. The changes I made were to use the local time instead of GMT 0, format it the way that the users clock is formatted and remove the string manipulation so that both AM/PM and 24 hour will work with the IF statement.

Time fix left aligned or blanked out

Time fix works mostly on my WM2003 PE Jam.

Sometimes time does not appear (Just black blank areas) and when the time is there it is left aligned and the PM drops to a second line.

Why are your exe files over 50% smaller than the original exe's? Not that I'm complaining mind!

Great. Sloved the time problem. Many thanks to you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Moke Blala:
Hmm, is that with the launcher, slider or both? If it's with the slider, then I'd guess that the font size on the time is too large for your display. It's hard coded right now to 40, but it's something that could probably be added to the ini file. Also, is that with both the original and time fix version, or just the time fix?

As for why the exe's are smaller, the compiler has an option to use compressed libraries. Tried it with and without, didn't notice any difference other than file size, so went with the compressed version. The uncompressed versions were the same size as the originals.

Launcher works fine...no problems there. I even set the Settings to pull up the slide exe when pressed.

Slide is where the issue is located. I changed my time format from P.M. to PM and that fixed the dropping to double line text. But I am still having the issue with the blank areas about 50% of the time (wheather launcher is active or not).

Moving the config to the ini filoe will definately help with specific device adjustments.

Now for the wish list...

1. on suspend slide is brought up to get back in.

2. Slide is "trayed" untill needed as startup time to load GAPI is relatively quite long.

I am starting have a rekindled fondness for my imate Jam...or should that be iJam ?
