hi A_C,

first of all, thanks so much for still releasing and developing your new v1.16 for WM2003se devices! your new version looks and feels better than ever! installation for my xda magician was a breeze. and for some reason it even remembered my customization for the fake signal and my custom slide wallpaper even though i made sure to delete the old slide registry before the v1.16 installation which is great (coz i always replace the default images with my own instead of manually mapping a location in the registry)! the animations are graphically tech-beautiful and especially the 2nd one coz you really deserve all the credits you can get! :)

upon testing, it works wonderfully with WM2003se except for one teeny tiny bug. after soft resets, the battery still does not activate by itself so i have to manually close and open iLock again from the program files to get the battery icon working (i'm assuming iLock isn't starting properly from soft resets). after reactivating iLock manually, the battery works fine again until i do another maintenance soft reset. i hope you can point me to the right direction as to how i can correct this small mishap.

but simply put, your efforts are truly producing wonderful outputs. you app is my favorite amongst all the gazillion apps i have installed and i'm eagerly looking forward to testing more of your developments. :)

regards,

@The_hesham

Pls read the readme.txt... if you don't know how to edit the registry then this version is not suitable for you.

For your power saving problem, could you provide more details?

@mdasent

Could you provide more details of your device? and settings? Have you tried the latest version v1.16? I doubt "IdleStart" does not work on your & The_hesham's device...

takedesu

I see... I know the current support to Smartphone is very limited.

@Xanthus

Don't be greedy... man... ;)

@iruja

Multi-city of SpbWeather is not supported yet...

@srt10coupe

1 & 2. The files toplock.bmp & toplockL.bmp has changed. You have to copy them as well. I know you have not because of your mod.

3. No, it only stays there for a few seconds.

@sonneper

Thanks.

@kazam401

Glad to hear that.

@xmen06

No real VGA support yet unless I got one... besides, I doubt the memory usage will be horrible...

@maxpain

No UNICODE as said in the readme.txt... are you sure you have set your device's regional settings to Non-English?

@spangelsaregreat

No plan yet.

@bombzhome

Me too... those animations took me hours to code but days to fine tune.

@Sian

All I can say is I'm testing it everyday with the built-in Alarm apps & so far no problem at all.

@meehaa

Never experienced that before. What's your setting? Where is SLIDE installed? device or Storage?

@freeyayo50

No. But to play safe, you can export that part of registry as a backup.

@jacknymbl

There is nothing fixed from v1.15 to v1.16 for the Battery info. You may try to use the v1.151 iLock to see if those problems appear again.

@dfkimbro

1. Could you try this test?

2. Meanwhile you have to disable the "IdleStart", i.e. set to 0

@myownregister

Thank you for your comments.

Really not sure about the Battery problem... maybe you can try to use the v1.151 iLock to see if the problem still exist.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
hi A_C,

yes i have tested your previous v1.151 as well and it has the same bug with the battery. but everything else works well as long as i make sure to manually restart iLock after each time i soft reset. both 1.151 & 1.16 works perfectly except for that small bug.

if ever you cant catch the culprit, it's actually no big deal since everything works well anyway. :) the added task of manually restarting iLock is no big deal at all, at least for me. hehe.

thanks again for your continuing efforts.

Problem coming out of suspend mode

A_C ok i have a TMOB Wizard running Crossbow reloaded version 1.7. I managed to stop the error but disabling all button except power option and selecting do not lock buttons. This wors since the device is still locked. do you think you can look into this..BTW i am using version 1.6 an this also happened in 1.5

Hello guys!

The animation after slide is lovely! I just don't know where's the other one? And unfortunately I have the same icon problem as srt10coupe :( . I hope it can be fixed!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
The SPB weather is a bit strange... I have 5 cities running and SLIDE seems to choose third city, Seattle. It's also showing it in celcius, also. So I unchecked all the cities but my hometown, and it's still showing celcius, so I'm not sure how SLIDE is choosing what to show.

Otherwise, awesome job A_C! I actually went to a Sprint store and impressed the manager and asst manager there with my iPhone WAD skin and this Slide lock =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@myownregister & jacknymbl

I doubt the Battery info from iLock.exe is broken starting from v1.151... but does v1.15 work on your devices?

@maxpain

Then no solution yet.

@meehaa

If the OS Lock is disable, does the error/blank screen come out? What's that OS Lock?

@iruja & jambaj0e

I meant if you have multiple cities selected in SpbWeather, SLIDE will only pick up the 1st one (but which one is the first one? is only assigned by SPB itself). Will try to fix it.

@jambaj0e

No. But you can do the installation manually by copying the files to wherever you want. Correct the registry setting & restart iLock. That's all I can help.

@mdasent

I'm not sure I understand your device. It seems to have a built-in lock program. Could you disable it? and will it work?

@agocs

Pls read post #355.

on the 2003, battery was working before 1.151

Ever since i upgraded to 1.151 and above, the battery stopped working. I reported this here awhile back and it seems that you missed my post. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Dear A_C

I've a feeling this same problem happened on my Trinity too - coming out of suspend mode.

What happened is that when I off my Trinity (power off) and on after sometime, at times I can't power on back my Trinity. I have to soft reset the unit to bring it on. :-( I notice this problem is more frequent during the auto-profile change (by phoneAlarm).

Hope this problem can be resolved (if it's indeed due to Slide2Unlock, since there's a likelihood as I'm not the only one experiencing this). Thanks!

p.s. i'm running SLide2Unlock 1.6 now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
@A_C You can insert battery a meter of option under the arrow? Scroll in text form durably.

(Other English translated) In text form durably going through.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
hi A_C,

i'm sorry i didn't notice this earlier (coz of my excitement to try v1.16) but as mentioned in jacknymbl's post, it is true that the battery always showed 100% even though my actual battery level is 85% already.

as you instructed, i re-installed v1.15 and yes it works seamlessly (v1.151 didn't and started the manual iLock activation after soft reset). in v1.15, the battery shows the true percentage and as i did several soft resets, the battery & iLock always started properly therefore there's no need to reactivate iLock manually for the battery. i guess this is the last version that worked on WM2003se flawlessly coz i have no problems w/alarms too (both default alarms and 3rd party alarm software).

i feel sad that i won't be able to enjoy the wonderful animation on v1.16. :( i hope there's still hope for our humble WM2003se. and a lot of thanks for even looking into this version. :)

regards,

myownregister
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@gabbyg & myownregister

Thanks gabbyg. Maybe I thought you're running WM5...

I'll try to roll back the iLock for WM2003 later. Meanwhile you can still install the new version v1.16. Stop iLock.exe, then only overwrite the single file iLock.exe from v1.15. It should work.

@Sian

I think there is something special in the h/w of Trinity (but I like this name in Matrix)... I may send you a slightly modified version later if you don't mind to test it.

@srt10coupe

Sorry, I don't understand your new idea...

First of all, thanks for the awesome app. Everything works great on my HTC P4000. I have "CloseApp" set to 0 and when I slide out the keyboard SLIDE exits just like you said it should.

Thanks for also providing the option to see your next appointment when locked. I find that very handy.

i had the empty battery too, found running ilock agian from startup folder then from normal assigned button/start menu fixes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alberthk:
First thanks for the nice job of this great app, Thanks

I follow the installation instruction and hope to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.13

I copy all file to program file and also copy ilook.exe to windows\startup

I set the reg, it can work but

1. no auto start

2. empty battery inductor

3. it will start slide.exe when i run ilook from windows\startup

all the above may be cause by using Chinese WM5?

since the startup folder in chinese WM5 was not "startup"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alberthk:
OK it works on Chinese WM5

I create a folder call "StartUp" in Windows and put iLook.exe in it

Creat a shortcut for \Windows\Startup\iLook.exe in startup folder of Chinese WM5

jasjar has some major issues when flipping the screen with ilock running,

firstly, it goes landscape then back to portrait, then the below appears

App: Slide.exe

File: Slide.exe

Proc: MAINPROC(4,1)

Opcode: SETSPRITEHIGHT

Char/Line/Offset 0,0, 0x00441ba0

(MAINPROC(4,1))

Access violation at 0x71a28

i let it stop there while i grabbed the error details and it went to landscape.

Ive not got it working in landscape at all, when i run ilock, it goes back to portrait and errors the above again.

flip back to portrait and all runs fine again,

not a big issue as im portrait 90% anyway, but even with the phone unlocked and in say resco explorer it still causes problems,

On Universal, WM6, battery indicator doesn't work (shows empty battery),

But.. There isn't any error after sliding!! Application exits wonderfull!!

Thx for that fix, but why LCD off doesn't works (on AC power the same problem) ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
That fix the problem thanx. Now, do I need to keep the iLock.exe in the startup folder?? Does it need to run everytime a soft-reset is done?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
Yeeeesss thx :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardGuy:
Great Job. It works well. I do have one question. Is there anyway to change the time structure on the appointments. Mine are coming up as 24 hour time even though I've got 12 hour time set everyone (in the app and on the device).

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
The PPL author told me the Landscape mode is device dependant. Therefore that may be some compatible issue with your device. Since I do not have your device, it's hard for me to offer any help... :(

Maybe the next release will use the option "TimeFormat" for the appointment's time format...

To others,

Your questions are summarized as below:

1. no battery, no autostart, no idlestart...

Answer: Pls make sure you have iLock.exe placed at "\Windows\StartUp" & executed from there. Just recognized that non-English device may have different name of "Startup" folder. It may be tackled in the next release.

2. what is iLock.exe?

Answer: It's responsilbe for the autostart, idlestart & battery status. When it's executed under "\Windows\Startup", it'll stay in the background & wait for the right event to invoke SLIDE. When it's executed else where, it'll invoke SLIDE immediately. In the future, iLock will make use of the System State Notification to retrieve all OS status like no. of unread voice mail, headset existence, GPRS connection etc... but only for WM5 or later & don't know when it'll be released... ;)

3. WM2003/SE user: no appointment, no operator name, no signal strength, no missed call, no unread sms...

Answer: YES! These features only works on WM5 or later. Although the operator name & signal strength can be added manually, someone reports that they will be gone after soft reset.

4. any easy configuration?

Answer: It's definitely on the todo list, but with lowest priority. And there are a lot registry editing freewarez around.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meehaa:
well Im talking about OS buit in password, it works fine if password protection is disabled
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ViperAMD:
Sorry for being a bit aggressive, atleast you have some positive input!

I'm just not a big fan of marquees, thats all.

I only rescenly purchased my first PDA, the Blue Angel. I am having trouble installing this software tho!

I went to Start > Settings > About. And it says, Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.

So i downloaded the latest (1.16 2003 edition) and run the CAB. I then get an error saying it may not work on the OS or something, but i can choose install anyway. Once it installs im not entirely sure what to do, I open the file in program files and it works nicely, however the battery shows flat when it is indeed full, and the connection does not show either.

I would like this slide thing to open up after 5 minutes of nothing, or when i turn it off/on. I also not sure how to get into the phone registry.

Thanks for the great app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
hi A_C,

your cleverness never ceases to amaze me! your incredibly simple WM2003se solution of installing v1.16 and then stopping the iLock app and replace v1.16 iLock.exe with v1.15 iLock.exe solved the battery problem completely (no need to manually restart iLock after a soft reset too)! it shows the correct battery now and i couldn't be happier coz now i can enjoy the new animated graphic features of v1.16! simply beautiful.

however, there is a new teeeeeny tiny new bug and this time it's with clock alarms (both OS default and 3rd party). the alarms wakes-up & works fine except that Slide2Unlock wakes up my Xda mini's lcd in a very "dim" or dark mode (just like when you press and hold the power button to dim the lcd). then if i touch the lcd to dismiss the clock alarm, the screen will return to normal brightness. hmmm...it's a bit wierd as this is the first time i encountered this kind of thing after testing your numerous developments.

but like always, this new bug isn't a bug for me and doesn't bug me at all. the alarm still wakes up and i really have to touch the lcd to disable it anyway. hehehe. :) as usual, i can't say enough thanks for your quick solutions and developments!

Which music player you're using? I've tried MortPlayer & WMP without problem.

@J_Hutt

I recall that someone in the past had similar problem with XDA, but no solution yet.

@srt10coupe

Since SLIDE will go to sleep after about 5 seconds of idle, no animation can be played unless the user interupt again. Besides, the upper line's space is already occupied by other info, like weather, missed call etc.

@Meehaa

I've tried many times with my P535, but cannot produce your error. What's the detail setting of your SLIDE? If possible, pls dump it out.

ViperAMD

Pls read the readme.txt as SLIDE has a lot limitation when running on WM2003/SE. For the battery problem, you may try the patch just a post above or wait for other user's testing.
