Did you follow the instructions for the installation? Maybe you can give more details so that we all can share with you what we know.

Did v1.151 solved your problem?

Where you installed the app? Device or Storage Card?

Should work, except someone reported that it does not in WM6's Landscape mode.

Even SLIDE v1.15 does not work for you, still recommend you update the iLock.exe only as the old version of iLock may affect some alarm apps.

That's possible...

Thank you for considering to cook it into the ROM. But since it's still under development, suggest you to reconsider it later (otherwise you may need to reflash the ROM twice a week...)

Sorry that's too much for this little app...

Thank you. I've been thinking of making a cab, but with a problem that cannot be solved... if the user select to install the app into "Storage Card", could the installation program update the registry value of "Slide2UnlockPath"?

myownregister, sorry to make your device unstable.

I'm considering to stop the support to WM2003/SE because I don't want to install some codes that I'm not sure will run at least what I expected... while I do not have these devices for testing...

Where you installed the app?

add icon to ilock

Hello,

I very much like ilock/slide. In the first versions i placed an icon to slide.exe on the start menu. now (as suggested in the readme) to ilock.exe-slide. Could you add an icon to ilock so that it looks better in the start menu? (maybe there is a option to change icon in shortcut, but i couldn't find it)

arjan.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the-equinoxe:
You're welcome.

The cab itself didn't install any registry settings, because iLock does that for you, so it's possible to place it anywhere.

Ok, I want to know how to get the date like this...

Monday, June 4, 2007

I realize that it's not changing at all when I edit SLIDE.INI because the program still seems to be running, so without trial and error of soft resetting a million times to get this right, does anyone know the exact line for that form of date? Also, does anyone know how to get AM and PM next to the time too? Thanks!

*****EDIT***** : Nevermind.. I figured out you don't use SLIDE.INI anymore.. lol.. I just edited it in the registry and got it to work. Thanks for this awesome program!

Great! The alarm works on my BA wm5 once again. Well done, and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddotderek:
Hi guys, I am running WM6 Black 3.5 on a Cingular 8525/Hermes, and my phone automatically goes into suspension mode after like 5 minutes no matter what setting is set, so having this slide 2 unlock is kinda pointless considering the phone always goes into hibernation anyways..is there anyway around this? i want the slide2Unlock to be the only thing I have to do when not using my phone for a certain amount of time, thanks alot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonofzeus:
hi there. ilock now works on my wm2003se, but the battery indicator appears blank.

great app!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] programatix:
Hi,

Thanks for the great application. The only setback is, it is using too much memory (5mb). Unloading it will also be pointless as reloading it when the device wakes up takes about 3-5 seconds.

Not trying to compare it with another product, but Spb Mobile Shell also takes about 5mb but with more features (but only work with WM5+ and is not free).

So, if the memory usage is reduced, I believe it will be an esential application for everyone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddotderek:
can anyone help me with my issue? i can lock the phone and put it in suspension/hibernate mode by just tapping the power button, why would I want this program? I want to make it where i can touch the touchscreen and use the slide function, as of now, my phone *always* go into hibernation after like 5mins...help me out thanks..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Great, my alarms and reminders doesn't work at all. I don't know what's going on. I uninstalled Slide.exe, I tried to run an alarm through SPB Pocket Plus's safe mode, I even uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus. Nothing's working. My alarms are broken =(

Nice clock font. I will be using this one. Thanx!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicmcintire:
Actually, all I would have to do when you release an update is copy the iLock.exe and slide.exe into my Windows dir and all would be good. They'd just copy over the old one. Besides, I flash frequently. If you get time and squeeze it into another release, it's just something to consider.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Could you draw an icon for me? Others are also welcome. :)

Let me elaborate a little bit... If it's installed on the device, the default registry setting is perfect. If it's installed on the "Storage Card", the path of the program should be "\Storage Card\Program Files\Slide2Unlock". Then run iLock with a wrong "Slide2UnlockPath", it will not be able to invoke SLIDE.EXE... and error come out...

Glad to hear that.

You should fix your basic problem first... find another ROM...

Besides, it does not support non-English device well... :(

Have you try to soft-reset it? Besides, take a look at here may help you out.

That's nice...

That means you'll place all the GFX files flat under \Windows?

Hi A_C,

it's sad to hear that you're considering to stop wm2003se support. we hope you would reconsider. in case you still consider supporting wm2003se, i'll be more than happy to test all future developments for you. it would be a great gesture to do so after all that you have done for us. in case you do put wm2003se support to rest, let me be the first to thank you for all your wonderful efforts in the development of this wonderful app for our devices. your talents are truly appreciated!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
I can't figure out what's wrong with my alarms, so i just hard-reset. I think it happened when I uninstalled SPB Pocket-Plus, installed iLauncher, then changed my mind about iLauncher. Somewhere there, it screwed up my alarms. After the hard-reset, I have SPB Pocket-Plus and Slide running and the alarms working again.

Also, in regards with the PPL error I mentioned a few posts back, it occurs when I leave both the time and date for the Slide.exe blank in the registry. I did that to save battery, as both polls the phone. I filled in the date in the registry and now I don't get PPL error when someone calls or SMS me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicmcintire:
Exactly. I built 1.14 into my ROM and then had the initflashfiles copy all the GFX files to \Windows\GFX\Res or \Windows\GFX\Clock. If I could tell the registry that all Clock graphics are in \Windows and all Res graphics are in \Windows then I don't need all that stuff in an initflashfiles.txt and when you release a new version I can just place slide.exe and iLock.exe into the \Windows directory. They won't replace the one in ROM, but will basically just "cover" the original ones up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galasura:
A_C,

My alarm does not ring when my phone in lock mode. It just vibrate for just a second. That's it.

I'm using:

02 Atom

Built in alarm.

WM 5

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14929.2.2.1)

Great application by the way! Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Redlibanon:
Hello A_C

same problem here! Still use Pocket alarm on a MDAc III with Windows Mobile 5. But if i must choice between Pocketalarm and your slider i would consider for your slider!! But it would great both to work!

Regards

Redlibanon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Thank you for reply, myownregister.

As long as no further special function is added to iLock, I'll try to continue to support the WM2003/SE. Since some of the functions of iLock are OS dependant, it may be too risky for you to run without my testing.

Thank you for the info, I've caught a bug when leaving the time & date blank. It'll be fixed in the next release. :)

Then I recommend you use the initflashfiles.txt to do the job because:

1. I cannot guarantee the files under \GFX will not have the same filename of those under \Windows.

2. just want SLIDE to start faster.

Hope you don't mind. :)

Pls make sure you have the latest verion of iLock (v1.151) running. Since alarm notification can be affected by many factors, pls check your device's other apps & settings as well. You may find this FAQ useful as well.

For the iLock, I've been testing it daily on my device for days. So far so good...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Redlibanon:
Hello A_C,

I am sure to run version 1.151. The problem is, that before version 1.15 the alarm worked. Have installed the pocketalarm on my sd-card. Will now try to install on my MDA direct and will post if it works than. But it is only a small problem. In case i am an "early-wake-up" i don´t really need an alarm clock! But thanks for your effort!

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicmcintire:
Don't mind at all. You've done an unbelievable job here. Love what you've come up with.

When clock displays seconds it is not always at the correct center due to different size of the bitmap numbers.

Here it is clock numbers, all 24x40 pxs.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the-equinoxe:
The only way I know of to eradicate the problem is to self-register the exe.

So the exe has to write the path down where it's started from in the registry.

Assuming slide.exe is always in the same folder, location problems are over.

However, i think these kind of files should always reside on the device.

And this is the reason why:

-Sd-cards use power, there is a powermanager build-in but when slide.ex runs from the sd, the power-safe for sd won't kick in.

This will result in increased battery performance, depending an type (and brand) of sd-card (micro, mini, or normal).

Best regards,

EquinoXe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frigit:
Great program, would be nice to have the option for the owner info on the screen. That way if someone finds the device they can contact you (hopefully).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dragon20:
guys, great application i have some question / bugs

I am running a dopod 838 pro with WM6 Black 3.01

1. When i turn my device in landscape mode the lockscreen simply just exits

2. When i pick up a phone call and the screen goes blank, the phone locks, this is a pain as i have to slide first before i can hang up the call?

Is there any way around this or any suggestions :)

3. for some reason appointments dont seem to show up when i change the reg value to 1, all other changes in the registry reflect this.

and last question

is it possible to trigger the application when i press lock my device on the start menu? is there a reg key i can edit.

Thanks a lot guys and Greate APPLICATION!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cameronfield:
Ok, so I'm not sure why no one has responded to me yet...but is there a version of this for the Palm OS?

Ok you know what, **** all of you guys. You'll pretend like you cant even see my posts. Burn in hell.

P.S.

I'm sure you fags will respond to this one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
I doubt it, at least not A_C's version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dragon20:
lol!

Be respectful mate, people spend their own time and effort making a free application, and you complain becuase no one responds to your posts.

If your not happy go buy a similar app, write one your self or pay some one to write it.

Apart from that have FUN! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
A_C,

Love the app, looks nice and sleek and works well too.

I have one suggestion if possible...when appointments are displayed on the screen - it seems to ignore All day appointments.

Is there any way of rectifying this? Or perhaps it can be incoprporated into the next version?

Apart from that - an excellent app, keep up the good work! :D

Matt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
mifungo & srt10coupe

Glad to see the mods. Anyone has more, pls post here. :)

Say if you installed the app at the Storage Card, you have to manually edit the registry key "Slide2Unlock" to the path of that folder, e.g. "\Storage Card\Program Files\Slide2Unlock". Otherwise iLock would not invoke SLIDE.

How to do that?

I totally agree with your point. That's the problem that early version of SLIDE had faced & error came out after running a period of time. But there are still always some users want to install it at Storage Card... :(

But once you unlock it, the owner info is already on the Today screen.

1. That's on purpose, otherwise errors will come out (for the reason, you may find it in the old post)

2. Actually, this feature is already there, but maybe only effective on WM5 English device. Will try to fix it later. Meanwhile, the solution is to disable the "IdleStart", i.e set to zero.

3. I noticed that recently as well. The reason maybe it's polling the registry for appointment info & somehow locked the registry from others update. Will try to fix it as well.

I think you're lost! This app (or even the forum) is not for Palm!

Glad to hear that.

Currently, it only shows the next Appointment. In the coming release, it'll show the current/next Appointment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
Blimey - thanks for the swift feedback - only posted that 10 mins ago! :D

As a follow up, I think there might be a *slight* bug/feature here then - I've got a 7 day repeating all day appointment - and it doesn't appear on the lock screen.....neither does another all day appointment I have.

The appointments are shown "free" time if that helps....

If you need any more details - just shout :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agovinoveritas:
I am just checking how this thread is going and well, you are funny.

Aside from sounding like an ass, did the thought occur to you to actually go check on a Palm OS forum and ask your silly question directly?

You know, rather then to come to a HTC Windows Mobile forum where basically no one has a Palm OS device, no one cares about Palm OS and one ever even mentions Palm OS? That's like going to a BMW forum to ask for Nissan information.

Alright, someone was nice enough to answer your question.

Either way you are going to get yourself banned for acting like a kid, although I doubt you will be staying long either way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
I think it maybe because of the same issue that just answered a while. Will look at it.

Slide problem

Hello!

First of all, let me me thank you guys, this lovely program! I really love it! I've noticed only one bug, I hope it wasn't discussed before, because that would mean, that my english is more poor than I thought.. :confused:

So when my device get's back from sleep or suspend mode, the slide on the screen stops working. It means that if I pull it to the center of the slide-bar, and realese it, it doesn't slide back to the left. I hope you understand what I mean. I had an Airis t620 with WM5. Does anyone experienced this before?

NO icons at the screen to indicate that there is a NEW text msg or miss call.

i just what to ask if this is normal

* when i recieve any NEW text msg, the background stayed blank? no image... =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] X_Farhad:
Hi. This new version of Slide2Unlock, It's absolutely fantastic! Well done A_C !

The only thing that might keep many people from using it, is i guess the huge RAM usage, about 4MB right? is there a way to optimize it?!

I hope there is, anyway, just wanted to say Thanks!

Im still having problems with some notifications setting off slide.exe. If I get a text message (I am using the palm threaded sms program) I cannot get the notification to work properly. When I click the left soft key that should open the program, slide.exe immediately turns on. On previous versions, Im not sure if it still does, it would also occur with the low battery notification.

CAB for Slide2Unlock

Hi all,

I have created a CAB file for easy installation of Slide2Unlock v1.51 for WM5.

You can install it either in main memory or in the storage card as you wish, there is no need to alter the registry afterwards.

Two shortcuts are created during installation: a shortcut to iLock is created in the Startup folder, and another one with the "-slide" parameter is created in the Start Menu. However the last one, called Slide2Unlock, will work only if you install the app to main memory.

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
Wow! Very nice. Are you planning to make a full iPhone 'theme' or whatever?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramit66:
yep, i've created "yet another" iPhone theme for WM5 (and obviously i'm using Slide2Unlock in it...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
where i can find it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
I saw there is "ShowSpbWeather" in the registry setting, in your cab, but not in the original file. Is it really supported ? Not working on my Mio a 701 WM5 / R65 Fr.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
I see the SPB weather on my registry,too. It would be nice to see today/tonite/tomorrow weather, or at least some choices for it =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
Yeah, where can we download this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
Stooopid question time! The CAB would work with WM6 right? I mean there's nothing different between the two OS's for Slide2Unlock....?

Feel free to flame as required! ;)

Matt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramit66:
You'll have to ask A_C regarding the SpbWeather thingie. I haven't tried it.

The registry settings in the CAB reflect the actual registry settings that the program creates and uses. All I was actually interested in were the wallpaper and path settings (so that they reflect the actual installation location), yet I had to include all settings (and set them to their default values).

Regarding the iPhone theme -- currently it is hard coded to match my Mio's configuration. I plan to make it publicly available after I make it easier to install, probably in a week or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramit66:
Matt --

I honestly don't know if it will work under WM6.

Why don't you try and let us know?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
OK - will try tomorrow and post results ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GerardNL:
Great program !! Really like how it's made. Also great to see the thread and how how people cooperating.

I've struggled through 28 pages and as far as I can see, no one reported this problem yet:

The problem described below occurs with version 1.51 installed on \program files\ on a Blue Angel running the latest WM5 (AKU 3.5.2).

Whenever the phone is turned off and a pop-up for alarm or reminder for appointment pops up, the phone turns on, but I get a dialog with this error:

PPL Runtime Error

App: Slide.exe
File: Slide.exe
Proc: GameProc(4,1)
OpCode: RENDERSPRITES
Char/Line/Offset: 0,0
0x004319d0

(GAMEPROC(4,1))
Access violation at 0xf8918

After pressing ok, I'm returned to the Today screen and the reminder is still there. So it's not a big problem, but it would be of course great if it didn't do that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
someone reported that long time ago... maybe you can uninstall SLIDE (i.e. delete everything from /Program Files/Slide2Unlock) then reinstall... but not sure does it work because I never experience that before.

These functions only work on WM5 or 6.

My pleasure. But there is no solution yet for the huge RAM usage.

Sure... pls try to keep in one post, thx.

1. make sure install v1.151

2. have you tried this test

3. or simply disable the "IdleStart", i.e. set to 0

Thank you very much. Will use this as a template for the future release. :)

Sheee... it's around the corner... still testing...

That error exists in the old version. Pls make sure you have the latest version of SLIDE installed. Otherwise, it maybe your device is not supported by PPL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramit66:

Can you do the same for WeatherPanel?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] si200:
Hi, first i would like to say great app and thanx for sharing it works just fine, a question i have is that i have a xda orbit and I was wondering if it would be possible to do the slide funtion using navigation wheel to unlock as well as it doing it from the touch screen. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
some bugs that i found.

the spb weather plugin dont work (hehe but that ok..still testing right?)

and i try to change the landscape background..but dont work =/

i always have the fish
