hi A_C,

thank you so much for this new release and still supporting wm2003se in the process!!! :) back with some news on v1.17 the xda magician (wm2003se) and ipaq hx2495 (WM5):

xda magician - both good news and tiny bit of sad news though. it's great that button mapping to slide2unlock works well now! everything else works great. but tiny sad thing is the app now fails to suspend the device even if the settings are set properly. when i activate slide2unlock, the app screen appears with no problem. but after the alotted 10seconds in both AcOffLcd&OffLcd, the app simply hangs and does not suspend the device. i touch the screen and the text shimmers again but still hangs after alotted 10secs. hmmm...funny coz this never happened to using previous versions too. (settings are AcOffLcd&OffLcd=10, Autostart=0, Idlestart=0, Closeapps=1, AcBlankscreen&Blankscreen=0, the rest are default)

ipaq hx2495 - some good and sad news again. :) v1.17 now wakes up the device but still needs multiple button presses. before it used to take 4-5 button presses to wake it up but now it's shortened to 3 presses. at least there's an improvement so that's a lot better for this device coz everything else about the app works well w/no problems except for the waking-up lag. :) i'm just curious if this the first time this sort of thing happened to a WM5 device....hmmm...maybe coz this device is a plain pda and not a phone-pda?

as always, a truly brilliant app dev't A_C! the little knick-knack improvements as each version goes along makes every release feel like a kid getting a new box of candies. each idea makes it even much better than before. i'd still have to go back to v1.161 for my good old trusy Magician though (especially since WM5 upgrade for it is a lost cause), but seeing that you take extra effort to looking into the old wm2003se really makes us users appreciate each and every release even more! really, a godsend. :)

question

can you install the slide bar without installing the iphone wallpaper?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

The wall paper is found in two files (wallpaper.bmp and wallpaperL.bmp) in the RES folder.

Simply replace these files with an image file of your own choice.

question

First of all, thank you for the reply. I should have been more specific with my question. What I meant was, do you have to install the theme in order to get the slide bar? I have the spb mobile shell and I like the setup on my phone as it is. I just want to add the slide bar. Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] email2006:
First off Thanks for this great program....

I am having a problem with the most recent version and it's compatability with tomtom/googlemaps and bluetooth GPS on wm6. Basically if I have ilock running neither program can access the bluetooth gps.. As soon as I stop ilock both programs can comunicate with the gps.... Any hints? I did some searching and have not seen anyone else with this..

The same here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EA Chronic:
Need Help Please. Im pretty new to ppcs and im trying to learn and here's my problem.

i downloaded v1 from the link, put created a folder called slidee and put both the slide program and the gfx folder in it and transfered it into my phone. Then i downloaded v1.7 for wm5 (i have a mda) However how do i update? There is no exe or cab the only files are files that my cpu describes as 040 file 041 file.. etc. (example of names 00000000.013, 000ARROW.020. How do i go about updating and getting the nesecarry files such as ilock.

Also, v1 works fine however the clock shows 4 hours ahead of the real time. how do i fix the time. Also, probably because i only have v1 and i dont know if it worked on that version but i want to get the alerts to show on the side2unlcock screen. Please and Thanks in advance for the help I really appreciate it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mckmas8808:
Hey AC (or anybody else that knows this answer) when I make a change to the slide.ini file it does not change when slide.exe runs. Why is this?

I've even deleted ilock.exe from my Startup folder and it still doesn't make the change. I can tell it's running the defaults.

How can I make ilock read my slide.ini changes instead of its defaults?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
You need to uninstall v1.10 (or 1.0), and start over. Then delete any Slide-related files you downloaded. Then download version 1.17 (Slide2Unlock1.17-WM5.cab) at the end of the very first post in this thread. Do not download version 1.0. Only download one of the previous versions if you have a specific problem with 1.17 (or later) that didn't occur in a previous version. For configuration options, read AC's second post. This thread is getting pretty long, but it's worthwhile reading it if you have problems after you reinstall version 1.17.

If you need help downloading or installing, you can PM me.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
why are some peoples "title bars" different sizes? Even in the screenshots on the first page, one is larger than the other. Is is a bug or a feature?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shigeo:
custom back rounds

you can either look in the program folder and replace the wallpapers with your own.

or do what i did get a bunch of your images resize to 240x320 name them simply

so you can remember the names and place them all in a folder on your phone

and edit the reg file to point to your new wallpapers :)

ie:

/slide/"image file name here".bmp

really awesome program and its fun tricking iPeople in to thinking that you have an iPhone that runs windows. =)

alarm on lock screen

Love this app, very cool.

Question? seems to take about 6 rings before the phone wakes and starts ringing/vibrating when running this app, is this normal or do I have another problem?

Also has any thought been put into showing the next alarm on the lock/screen saver screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
@dfkimbro

I use WM5, there am a Screen Capture software in it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
I wish I knew some iPeople; everyone I know just says "whats that" (even the ones who are iphone crazy, who I later usually find out, have never actually seen the thing. I wish I had enough extra money to fork over $500 for a phone I haven't even seen... )

Great Prog A_C!

question

Can the slide program be install without the iPhone theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
It would be wonderful if someone could make that to.................
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
I agree, that is cool, but that is adapted to cellphones, which are almost never turned off (hence the slider, to prevent that accidentally happening) PDAs are turned off all the time (except smartphones), or they'll eat battery. Still cool idea, perhaps as an optional feature. I'm not sure theres a notification even for when it's about to go into sleep...

Just leave it for awhile, mine was doing the same thing but I left it for 30 minutes then it started working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mdasent:
I dont think that works i have been waiting two days for a solution to this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
I am not certain, but I think you are asking for what I woudl like to see: a "light" version that is just the slide-to-unlock portion, with no extra bells and whistles.

In that case, no, you can't do that. Not yet, anyway.

works for me, newest version 1.17
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JIMBABY:
i have also 1.17

did you install it from cab ?

what is the slide.ini configuration ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
slide.ini configuration was with the first version, now the settings are in the registry
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JIMBABY:
Post reg

can you post the reg file

or the reg file is with the install of the cab

and what about Spb Weather works ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
the slide2unlock settings are created, in the registry , when Ilock is running ,the first time , in your pocketpc. You can change this settings here :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock

SPBweather is working fine.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vorph:
One small problem, ppl: my pda locks itself in 5sec.Witht Ilock, it does the same thing, BUT it locks the pone when i talk on it, thus ending my call ...i'm a really incompetent user...please HELP!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
@ JIMBABY

go post #641 page 65 and try to import the regkey ( copy to your ppc and execute ) If you want edit all setting of slide2unlock you need to use an registry editor. I use registry add on of Resco file explorer. You can find some free registry editor on google.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JIMBABY:
thanks

yes i useed it also the resco

now the Appointment show not with my language hebrew but the english is good

i can see th N/A of spb why ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JIMBABY:
language

any why to fix the hebrew Appointment ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] miloos:
Same phone problem as Vorph

I have a similar problem as Vorph. My phone calls end up disconnecting which Slide2Unlock installed. I love the software, it wows my friends to no end, but after a minute of call time, I lose the call. My power settings are set to have the treo 700wx turn off after a minute, but that never was a problem before Slide2Unlock was installed. Is there any way to fix this problem. Thanks and keep up the good work A_C!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -viperboy-:
i have a sprint mogul (htc 6800) and when i get a text, it bypasses this screen. that totally defeats the purpose of this great app. is there a way to fix that? thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I love all the new alerts and notifications on this version....great work A_C.

One question.....Any progress on getting WeatherPanel to work instead of SPB?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
No error, just a black background but I found the error - Slide2Unlock doesn't automatically resize images so I resized it first before naming it in the registry. Now it's all fine :) Thanks.

Also, Slide2Unlock does not work very well with SPBTime's Alarm - when it goes off, the dismiss and snooze buttons are right near the 'slide to unlock' bar so it's very inconvenient and messy to use. Most times, I am unable to snooze my alarm as it automatically just Dismisses it when I go to unlock it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mckmas8808:
I got the same phone this week. I think it's a great thing that A_C's program does that. I don't want to unlock my phone just to answer a call or read a text message.

But after I read the text message it goes back to the lock screen. Which is good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
Perhaps you could map the slider to your D-Pad (the Dopod has a D_pad, correct?) using the registry edit. Then you could Slide without touching the screen prior to acknowledging the alarm. I realize thats a 2-step process, but it may be your best workaround for the moment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
@Vorph & miloos,

maybe you guys can try setting the Idlestart setting to 0. that way, slide won't activate automatically while the phone is on. just read the readme file on how to edit slide's settings in the registry using a registry editor app.

regards, myownregister
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nitefallz:
Great program and definitely liked the addition to turn the screen off during a call but one thing, and I don't know if this is a bug or something wrong with my Wizard but would it be possible for the lock to be enabled as soon as the call is over? For me the screen comes back on and it's unlocked when a call ends and the phone is usually in my pocket and things get pushed, etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -viperboy-:
well, for me, if my phone was in my pocket, i'm sure it would get pushed or some other stuff would happen so i'd rather unlock every time i get a text. thats what i did with my q. the homes button + space to lock the keypad. i dont mean that i want to unlock it for a call. thats the only thing that i want it to unlock for.

so is there any way you can set it to only unlock when a call is coming in?

1.14 to 1.17 should i upgrade?

may be a stupid questions but here goes..

I have 1.14 running on my apache with kirvins c & s 3.5 and slider runs perfect. never a problem. Is there a reason you suggest I upgrade to 1.17?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zaidam:
Dear A_C,

Why only one appointment shown on screen even I have many appointments on same date but of course different time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

If you are 'adventurous' and wanna try.. why not? But keep the v1.14 somewhere to reinstall back if v1.17 doesn't go well with your phone. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Actually it's not a theme, just a background wallpaper.

There's been suggestion to have a transparent layer, instead of wallpaper.. but not sure whether that's possible.

Anyway, it's really no difference if you think about it. You still need to go through the 'unlock' process before you can use your PDA.. unless you wanto see the screen even before you unlock it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
Anyone with a Wizard (or any other slider keyboard PPC) able to turn on the slider with the keyboard open? When I do it, it locks up the device. I can start it without any problem with in landscape or portrait mode as long as the keyboard is closed. This is an extremely minor bug as I will never leave the keyboard open and suspend my phone, just something I came across.

BTW I'm using v1.17 now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -viperboy-:
just tested it on my sprint mogul and it works fine for me. i'm using v1.17 now too.

does anyone have an answer yet as to keeping the lock on for everything but calls so that texts notifications dont bybass the lock?

Slide2Unlock and SPB Backup - little mistake

Hi!

Great piece of soft! But I've found one little mistake. I use SPB backup for backup. I set nightly automatic backup on. But if my phone is locked by Unlock, backup don't start. It begins after manually unlock.

Do you know about this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
After some calls, no problem with 1.17 :) running well , just my old dream :after locking, choose wich button can wake up the screen....:rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vorph:
Thx, man!It worked :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
A_C, could you make something like that??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
...sorry, I mean that in the picture
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redneckms:
Thanks A_C for the great software. Mine works great on the 8125 with WM6. I have only two problems. Now for me I just let my phone go to sleep and lock on its own.

1. When the lock is on and a call comes in and I finish the call I hit the red phone to hangup. Well with the lock on I get the Today screen flickering in the background of the Lock screen. Finally it will stop and let me unlock.

2. While the lock is on and the phone is in portrait mode I can slide open the keyboard and it will unlock. hmmm

Anyone have these?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] miloos:
Worked for me as well. Thanks!

I have spb weather install on my storage card is there a way to get slide 2 unlock to work with from there?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Esra:
I have an O2 Atom Exec and love the software but can't use it.

My alarms and appointment notices don't show up when the phone is locked.

I just let the phone lock when the screen goes off, i made a test appointment so i know a notice and alarm should have come up.

The phone wakes up at the right time (screen comes on with lock screen) but there is no notice about the appointment. No noise or message.

When i unlock the slider i can then see the notice about the appointment.

Any remedy for this as I would really like to be able to use the software but need my notifications to be working.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PhillyKing:
Have you looked at page 1 I believe post #2 in order to make the proper changes in the registry?

Everything works fine once you change the proper items to turn the appointment display on and off and so forth.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lobo13:
I have Asus P525 and application works great, but when is unlock, the camera button is still functional. Is there some possibility to repair it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Esra:
HI, I did have a look there and read the readme.txt that comes with the download.

All i have changed in the registry is to enable weather and appointments to be shown.

I can't see anything that is related to the alarms being displayed.

What entries need to be altered to allow the alarms to function on WM5?

Thanks.

Background bmp

Hi, excellent app A_C - congratulations.

Just wondered whether the program you use to produce it allows other image file types to be used for the background - animated gif for instance? It would also be pretty cool, for me at any rate, if a Flash .swf file could be used as a background. Is it possible?

thanks again

andy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shigeo:
i know what you mean. they have never seen one, don't know anyone that has seen one or used one it just has the "i" in front of it so it must be wonderful!

"i need to buy this 500-600 dollar product even though i am the same person that thinks 30 bucks for a charger is ridiculous." who knew putting that lower case "i" would make the masses crazy.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

First of all I would like to say thank you for a great application, which is totally awesome. I Have one feature request though;

Would it be achievable to integrate with PhoneAlarm or Spb Phone Suite to show current profile and maybe be able to change the profile from the lock screen?

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Suheel:
Thank you!

hi,

thanx for the cool software! i like it very much!

it works fine( XDA Orbit WM6 S2U1.17), but has two issues:

first, it doesnt lock the power-switch, like the original lock. ( i mean, with original WM5 /6 lock, u can press the powerswitch as long as u wish in locked mode, it will not power off, using iLock it does open the powerdown window an switches off!)

that is very bad, cause i need the lock, just to prevent this, as this happens often in my pocket!

can you change this?

second, the battery consumtion is very high, when iLock started.. don't know why.. any other registry entrys needed than standard to change this?

best regards

Suheel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
Like on my Mio A701 ,but since the 1.17 the battery consumtion seem better.

For the power button ( who's hang up too on my device) it's similar......For me, get an option in the registry to choose wich button can wake up the screen is the must.

Change the config ( in the device system )of power button seem impossible, but choose an other button ( i.e camera ) could help us

Sorry for my poor english
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
@ A_C

Because your soft is so nice

and because I get an " button " problem, I use now an " rigid case " when my device is in my bag :D

"-" symbol infront of VM indicator

I've been playing with this program, and sent myself VMs, text messages, ect. I notice that infront of my VM number there is a bash? It almost indicates negative one for VM. I wish I could do a screen capture, but don't know what to use. Anyone else seen this?

Answers

After the ripples go down, here are the answers...

Q. ShowSpbWeather shows N/A.

A. Try to set your SpbWeather to use the default weather source. If still N/A, you're out of luck.

Q. System hang up after a while.

A. It seems to happen on some old WM5 devices & WM6 devices with cooked/custom rom version. Try to update your device firmware if it exists. And I have no further solution on this part.

Q. Voice mail unread count shows -1

A. I think this function depends on operator's implementation. "-1" means there is unread voice mail(s) exists, but don't know how many. Maybe I can change it to show an icon only when the count is -1...

Q. Any chance to have that "power down" gimmick?

A. No, as there is no way to detect the long press of the power button. Besides, I don't like that way to shut down.

Q. Incompatibility with other apps (TomTom, Spb Time)...

A. As I do not have much time to test each of them (though I'll still make sure it works with the OS built-in alarm), so if other apps are important to you, you're recommended not to use iLock & SLIDE.

Q. No latin or non-English characters?

A. I've been trying to find a solution but not succeeded so no solution yet.

Q. When will have other weather apps support?

A. I've just started something new, so do not have much time on that. But I appreciate your effort in providing information for me even though some of you guys are not programmer.

For the other questions, please read the 1st & 2nd posts on the first page.

Thank you for your comments & supports.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardGuy:
Hey A_C what bug are you talking about? Any chance on getting 1.6 reposted. I think that's the last version that allowed custom weather source without the N/A.

Thanks
