Hi

Don't quite understand your msg, cos' for me, I can wake up my PPC with any button and it will still show 'Slide.exe'. Just go to your 'Setting'/'System' and change the 'Key Lock' setting to unlock all the buttons.

Sorry if I don't really answer to your query.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBigBentley:
So just a quick update on my problem.

PPC goes to sleep after being idle - Works fine

PPC shut off then turned back on and the following happens.

White Screen.

If I click where the start button is in the top left I hear the start menu open and I can apparently run apps because I can here it click when press where the start menu would be. So obviously the app is loading and is not actually hanging but its just not rendering the graphics properly thus giving a white screen.

Is there a way to disable the run on power-on option?

Hey A_C, i just want to thank you on your great work

1 bug i notice, it doesnt happen every time, usually just every second time. The signal strength and opereator dissapere and are replecd by no service upon wake up.

edit: something else i noticed after waking up, the screen must be taped first before it will respond to a slide.

Using v1.164 on a prophet.

A_C great work. I'm glad you felt like releasing another release! What Brand and Model PocketPC do you have? I just got the Cingular 8525 after replacing my 8125 and I have zero major issues. I'm wondering if that is the device your doing your testing on.

Oh yeah... Do you have a paypal account? I would love to give you a little something to pay you back for your time and to show you that your time is appreciated. I'm sure there are a few guys here that would love to buy you a beer or two for your time and effort.

Hey A_C

Just updated to v1.164 on my Apache (PPC-6700) but I found that I nolonger have the SPB Weather icon showing (yes have updated registry) it worked great in v1.16, it now has what I think is N&A here's a pic... just letting you know I do have a custom setting for SPB Weather, but this worked before, I even changed it to SPB's Weather source and it still didn't work.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Cheers, keep up the great work Mate

I get the same thing with the latest update running on a Samsung i730.

Keep up the great work, I love this little app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jcespi2005:
Very thanks for this unpayable soft :)

i follow you here since you post the first version. Do you think is posible one version compatible with SBSH Pocket Weater instead of SBP?

Thanks again and congratulations...

Polish latin letters - an idea

hello A_C

i have an idea about showing latin chars:

try to write function that will replace "ąęśźńółćżŻĆŁĄŚŹŃÓĘ" into this "aesznolczZCLASZNOE" in function which is responsible to display date and time

i have done it in php:

IMHO it will be better to show for example "Sroda" (oryginal name was "Środa") than nothing.

Hey A_C,

I am the great fan of your, I have been installed the slider to my dopod 838pro and since then I can't stop myself keep looking forward for you new upgrade. It is just getting better and better. Keep it up

Awesome Work!! it just looks wonderfull! if only I could do something like it...

I have a problem...and it might be a silly one but..here it goes.... I cant find the ilock config file...couldnt find the path you've specified..is it hidden? how do I go about?

thanks!! excellent work!!

Here's the path.

------------

If you have never edit registry before, I recommend using 'Total Commander' (or PHM Editor).

1) Activate Total Commander

2) Go to 'Plug-in'

3) Go to 'Registry'

4) Go to 'HKCU'

5) Go to 'Software'

6) Go to 'A_C'

7) Go to 'Slide2Unlock'
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yoda_143:
Does that mean I have to install the old v1.1 first before installing the 1.164 cab ?

That's a bit unclear in the starting post and I didn't want to read through 54 pages.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mifungo:

Hi A_C, more and more compliments for slide2unlock developement. It becomes irrenounceable application on my PDA.

Here it is a wish. Is it possible on further releases a 'random wallpaper from a folder' option?

not essential but 'figo', i say in italian. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
Hi, sorry for my very poor english...I difficult for me, so, i'll trying ;)

When my phone (MIO A701 WM5 Rom65Fr) is locked ( screen is "off" ) I have to push the power button, who is the "hang up" button too, to have my screen "on" and slide the arrow.

Power button is the only who "wake up" my screen. The problem is ,that this "hang up" button is on the front of my phone and it's "very easily accessible", often ,in my bag or my pocket this button is pushed,( screen "on" for nothing --> power autonomy ) or on my Mio A701, locked or not, keep pushed this button give me an screen to choose flymode or power off :( , so, if you understand me well my friend ;) The must will be to use the camera button, on the side of the phone (more "hidden" than the other) to wake up the screen.

Thank for your help,

I wish you understand me,

I go work my english :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SmashD:
Could somebody provide the ilock.exe and slide.exe for download, so I don't have to reinstall the whole thing? At least here it never installed right, so I had to do most parts by hand anyway. Thanks alot. (v1.164 please)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
Dunno if this was reported before or not (50+ pages is alot to go through), but I noticed a small bug.

when waking up the device (pressing power) and slide2unlock is on, i've noticed that the "slide to unlock" shimmer/animation isn't going and I can tap *anywhere* on the screen and the unlock slider will move sideways to the postion where I've tapped regardless of whether or not I've actually touched teh slider bar.

in other words, I can make the slider move sideways (and unlock) by tapping anywhere on the right side of the screen. Or I can make the slider move to the middle by pressing anywhere on the middle of the screen. If I let go, the slider goes back to the left & the slide to unlock animation shimmers again and to unlock, i have to tap the slider bar and drag it like normal.

This usually happens after an extended sleep period.

Anyone else get this before?

device is HTC Prophet running WM5, slide2unlock 1.16
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brombomb:
Unfortunately, I upgraded and it was fixed. If it happens again I'll take a screen shot. I did notice however, that It also shows 1 call no matter what. Anyone else notice this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kazam401:
Same here mr_yellow on the XDA Orbit, must say I have been running 1.16 since it was released & have only noticed this after you brought it up, so cant really call it a problem.

I have created a reg key with the default values. This will allow you to restore your settings when you upgrade to a newer version. Make sure you A) Edit to contain your values and B) Update it with new ones if you want those changed when A_C adds new ones. This is current as of 1.164

Hey A_C,

Any reason why it would show that its 192 degrees? Thats HOT! :eek:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maldridge:
Portrait

When I first installed everything worked great. When I locked it and then opened up my keyboard (HTC 8125) it switched to portrait view seemlessly. I attempted to replace the background image and from then on it stopped switching to portrait view when I opened it up and simply closing the program. It would however go into portrait view if I locked it from portrait view.

I have since deleted and reinstalled the program twice to try to fix this but it hasn't worked.

This isn't necessarily a huge issue, but I just wanted to bring it up to see if there was a way to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyesmell:
I installed the latest version but i get an error everytime it trys to load up on it's own after the screen goes blank. I assume this is because i didn't start with version 1.0, however i can't find version 1.0 the link on page one doesn't work...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PippoPippoPippoPippo:
Work great on hw6515 ppc 2003 se , square screen too !

with the 1.164 even the battery meter and volume icoon work.

Please let me know if the radio signal and counter for messaging can be active on day for 2003 too . I Hope !!!

Thanks for your great work

bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyesmell:
Ok so i think i figured it out......you may not need to start from version 1.0. But i'm still getting the same error. When the screen shuts off after about a minute or so, and i push the power button to bring it back i get an error..... i'm using a 8125
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chris_moore42:
It seems with the iLock running in the background my battery drains a lot faster. I closed it after i noticed my battery was low and it lasted much longer without it running. This may be an issue? Just a heads up...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

Can you check your registry on the wallpaper path, to make sure that it's change back to default? Cos' from my experience, my previous changes to the wallpaper path remains despite the upgrading.

Or did you try to replace the original wallpaper? Is the original wallpaper loaded after you reinstall the programme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
The only thing I need to manually do is to change the 'Autostart' setting after each re-installation. Definitely convenient to use cab file to install.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

I think the problem remains unless 'iLock' can be developed to lock your 'Power' button, which is on the front. Think only A_C can answer that. :)

Alternatively, you may wish to change your habit of where you keep your PPC, or get a metal casing which will prevent you from pressing the 'Power' button accidentally.

Has ANYONE been able to get this theme to work on a Treo 700w.... I have tweaked out on this and several other themes but cannot get any of them to work! I am very frustrated and sad:confused: , if anyone has any insight to pass along it would be greatly appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
To ALL

Hey Guys,

Most of your problems can be solved by reading post 1 on the first page.

If NOT, please read post 2 as well. Most of the cases are already listed on these 2 posts, you don't need to read through the whole fifty pages like me...

Still NOT, please specifiy with details of your problem... details mean not only "error come out"... what's the description of the error? what's your device? OS? SLIDE's version? any program running at that moment... Otherwise, it's hard to offer any help.

Besides, please try to install the latest version... (for example, the bug reported by mr_yellow is already fixed in v1.164)

For those with problem with Spb Weather, please dump a part of the registry data ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Weather\Settings\\Cities\0") & post them here for further analysis.

For other Weather apps support, unless a documentation is provided on how to retreive the weather information, they'll not be supported in the near future. Reverse engineering takes a lot time & not accurate.

@WM2003 users

Since I do not have any WM2003 device, I could not offer help any more. Even I've tested the app under the emulator, some users still experience problem. So, if the latest verion works on your device, pls keep it. And it may be the last update for WM2003. Thank you for your support & comment so far.

@VGA users

I've done a test on the emulator, when the screen support native VGA, the RAM usage will be pumped up to about 6M (or more if larger fonts are used). Will you still want SLIDE?

@srt10coupe

If you want to have no animation, try to make a multiple frames (should be 30) file & replace the "slideanis.bmp". Try to open it & you'll know what I mean.

@sonneper

To have SLIDE be called besides the "power button", you may map a hardware key to the shortcut "Slide2Unlock" which is located at \Program Files\Slide2Unlock.

Finally, thank you those guys who have offered help to those newbies in this thread. You released my time for monitoring this thread. Thank you.

P.S. my own device is Asus P535, English WM5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Carnivor:
Well,

I'm not to worried about memory useage, its easy to close if i do need the ram free'd up. I'm always on around 15mb free anyway with the current S2U.

Could you have perhaps,

VGAfix = 0 is qvga

VGAfix = 1 is vga ( like current )

VGAfix = 2 is native vga?

to give the option of native vga? ohh hmm, might need some keys to point to the higher res background pictures aswell.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sthuv:
Hello A_C,

I would like to used SpbWeather data in an application on my P535. Please, could you share your code to access to these data.

Thank you for advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tinos Kitchen:
Awesome app, my phone always managed to turn itself on, and call people while in my pocket, so its nice that this automatically locks when i turn it off.

But I have one bug to report.

While playing music with TCPMP, it closes.

the strange thing is, is it does not do this while watching a movie.

is there some work-around for this problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
hi A_C,

glad to see you back! i was exhilarated to see you posted a new version! this time around, i'm testing it on 2 devices coz aside from my own xda magician (running WM2003se), i decided to install it on my wife's old HP iPaq 2495 (plain pda device running WM5) just to try it out. and here are the results:

xda magician (wm2003se) - when i saw you have a new v1.164 posted, i decided to give it a try for fun. i did notice 2 tiny bugs though. 1st is unlike v1.161, this new version somehow doesn't let me map any hardware button to it. i can only launch it through a todayscreen/system tray launcher. 2nd is similar to mr_yellow's post. when i use the power button to wake-up the device, the text does not shimmer till i touch anywhere on the screen. then it starts to shimmer again. the app still works and unlocks properly even if the text doesn't shimmer so it's really no big deal :). besides the 1st bug, v1.164 works fine on the WM2003se. slide settings are (acofflcd & offlcd=10 autostart=0 closeapp=1 idlestart=0, the rest are default)

HP iPaq 2495 (plain pda running WM5) - the only other version i tried here which worked perfectly was v1.131 (i didn't really pay attention to updating before coz my wife temporarily retired this device but it's recently resurrected). i did try to update now from trying all versions from v1.151 to v1.161 and finally trying v1.164. sadly, i found all of these later versions have problems with the device waking up. i have the device set to wake-up with any button press. but as long as i have iLock.exe running, i have to press any button 4-5x in order for it to wake-up to show slide. when i close iLock.exe and try it out if it will wake-up normally, it does with no problem so i was able to isolate that it was slide2unlock causing it. aside from the wake-up thing, v1.151-v1.164 work on this device fine (locking, alarms, app'ts are great). there are no other softwares running while testing. and slide settings are same as my magician's (acofflcd & offlcd=10 autostart=0 closeapp=1 idlestart=0, the rest are default)

i just thought i'd report to you v1.164's effect on the WM2003se and my 1st time WM5 test on a plain ipaq pda. but like you mentioned in your last post to everybody using these OS, i'll just go back to v1.161 for my magician & v1.131 for my wife's resurrected ipaq since those versions are working great on them. :) if ever you have a little time to spare, i hope you can direct how i can cope up with these. for now, other versions are working great. again my deepest gratitude for this truly wonderful piece of your hard work (whatever the version it may be)!!! :)

regards,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
hey A_C,

thanks for the tip. I did skim through the first few posts but I guess I missed the update log relating to the bug. either way, your app is very Cool !

will try 1.164 right now.

thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b.mann:
Can someone provide me with a link to some of the wallpapers ( the Apple, MS Vista, etc) for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Check your setting with TCPMP on playing music whether it off the LCD screen after sometime. Also, your Slide setting whether it will off the LCD and autostart Slide when LCD is off.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Great App!

Question though. Is it possible to keep the backlight off permanently if the screen is pressed anytime the slide.exe app is running? (unless the D-pad is used or the area with the slider is touched)

That way i can leave the slidelock on while the phone's in my pocket (because we all know how cool it is to pull out the XDA and slidelock it on) and the battery won't drain due to the backlight being kept on due to random screen presses.

Also, any way to remove the system tray? It's randomly re-appeared since i installed the app and i've now got an ugly scroll bar line on my today screen.

EDIT: NVM. Systray cleared on reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
On a Treo 700WX, version 1.6 shows "Flight Mode" anytime after the phone has been turned off - even if the phone is turned back on, and even if iLock is run twice to flip it off and on again.

A reset cures this if Slide2Lock is not run until after the phone is on.

Any chance of a much "lighter" version? I need only the "Slide-to-Unlock" functionality, not any of the other bells and whistles. They are nice, but I'd willingly give them up to have faster response and use less memory.

Thanks for this program - it fills a much needed gap for me in that its core functionality is simply not provided elsewhere.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

Just to share some of my observation:

1) Changing wallpaper 'path' in registry doesn't seem to work in my Trinity. However, changing the 'wallpaper.bmp' to a different image file will, EVEN if the path in the registry point to another place (weird!?)

[A_C, i think the 'default' path to wallpaper upon first launch of 'iLock' is not correct too. I remember 'GFX' was missing.]

2) After each change (even if you replace the current wallpaper.bmp), you need to tab on 'iLock' (the one found in 'Start Up' folder) twice. The first tap will 'close' iLock (and Slide.exe as well) while the second tap will activate it, but you will not see any pop up message for this second tap.

3) You can create a short cut to the 'iLock' in the Start Up folder and place it elsewhere (for me, I'm using iLauncher) for easy access and it will still work.

NOTE:-When you copy the "iLock.exe." from 'Slide2UnLock' folder and paste in 'Start Up', paste the application, not just as a short cut!

4) Running 'Slide' without minimising it (meaning it's not kept in memory) still pretty fast.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] p9939068:
Hi A_C, i understand that the newest version will start up the app when i on the power. However, if i were to set closeapp to 1, it shows an error when i power on:

This won't happen if i set closeapp to 0 though, so i suppose there's something wrong with the calling parameters

By the way i'm using Atom Life, could this be the reason?

-edit-

Ok it starts to work now, for some reason. Any chance for a fix for the sliding issue with Atom Life..?
