[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
How about working with SPB MobileShell? Anybody have these two working together? On my 700WX they always freeze when installed together. Each work great alone, but don't seem to be able to co-exist on my phone. If anybody has had success, or knows a setting I haven't tried yet, I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks

Thank you very much.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zgi:
has anyone thought about moving picture for bacground in Slide2unlock, lets say gif or avi or something?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Before I got MobileShell I was using a gif for my wallpaper with no problems, just make sure the path is completely correct in the settings and you should be fine! (not sure about AVI to be honest, but wouldn't hurt to try!!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zgi:
its not working with my phone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Can you post the file? Maybe I can try it out and see if it is the picture, if I lucked out, or something else!!

I'll try it out for you and see what happens!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicanodcora:
where's the settings for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Open a registry editor (resco...) on your phone and go to page one of this thread, it tells you where to go, and which settings do what!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DMAND:
I tried a gif also but like zgi it didnt work either just sat on the first frame :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andason:
Animated gifs are probably not supported due to the framecount in the code for the wallpaper being fixed at 1 frame. Maybe A_C could allow for a setting in the registry to adjust the frame count and speed. But even then, the only way i could get the gif to animate would be to break it into each of its frames and make one long image.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DMAND:
Maybe syrguy1969 could you post the gif that you say you had working so we can see how it differs from all the ones I've been trying thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicanodcora:
where can i get resco from??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blbeesley:
you can get resco from www.resco.net

The resco registry editor comes free with the purchase of Resco Explorer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Or get Total Commander. It's like Resco, but completely free

Slide 2 Shutdown?

Hi A_C, to use your great application further, is there a way of using it in place of the 'Do you really want to shutdown' buttons so that when we press shutdown as a button or icon, we are presented with a slider 2 confirm...perhaps with a time-out in place of the cancel button? (If you press nothing for X-time period it will return to the previous page?)

Great app

the only problem I have with it is when I'm on the phone for a while and when I'm done I can hang up 'couse my screen already locked with "slide to unlock"

how can I avoid that ?

When I'm on the phone I just want me screen do dimm or go off not to lock me phone. Power button on the side of my HTC 6800 should be locking screen

Please help - love that lil app but it got me in truble when I didn't realize that my phone locked before I was able to hangup on someone and I was still connected.:eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] craigiecraigie4:
Yeah, I'm also battling with this. Won;t stop me using the app tho...

When on the phone, lock kicks in, and hangup button does not work. One then gets blank screens and other wierd stuff, forcing one ot turn off and on, unlock, then hang up the phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rohanmaini:
From Where do I Download the app.

On the outset let me apologise for this Noob question...

But where should I download this app from, Since the files have been deleted from the first post... I tried searching in this thread all 95 pages (well almost)... I tried the website slide2unlock.co.nr but is needs a password.... I have tried using the search function but no avail... anyone help me out pls...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kopec:
Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I got no time to go through 92 pages of this thread. I got a problem with slide2unlock on WM5, MDA II (Himalaya), the problem is that when any application forces MDA to semi-wakeup (the unattended state - checking mails, connection,), like Agile Messenger does every five minutes or so, the Slide2Unlock application launches and wakes up the device to a normal state, meaning turns on the backlight and so...

Thx for any help, Kopec

P.S. I thought you could add some more settings to the turning off after certain time. E.g. I like to use S2U when listening to the music - it lets me use hardware buttons and prevents from using the screen (Pocketmusic turns screen back on when pressing buttons), so I would like to turn the device off by default, but turn the screen off only, when istening... could you do that? and some special trick for the Phone?

lukas and craig:

Guys, the answer is on the first page of this thread AND in the readme file that comes with the program: edit the registry and set "IdleStart" to 0 (this disables it from starting during a phone call, etc.).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lukas718:
Thanx I just did it

also anyway of changing time to 12hr from 24hr format ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
WTF people?

Did you even bother reading the readme/FAQ?!?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] craigiecraigie4:
Nope, my idlestart is set to 0 - I read the guide and tweaked everything on day 1. Tho I'm happy to concede that if others are not having a problem with this, perhaps I'm missing a specific combination of OffLCD, BlankScreen & Idlestart?

Would you perhaps me so kind as to tell me your above 3 settings that are allowing you to get thro a phone call?

In my case, Backlight and Power are set to turn off after 2 mins (most phone calls longer than this). When this happens, Slide2Unlock (v1.17 - 1.174 was an invalid zip for me) kicks in and then I cannot end the call. When sliding to get at the buttons, I get a few screen artefacts, best eliminated by cycling power to activate slide again. Quite a hassle, but love the proggie so much that I put up with it. I'll probably crash my car tho...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Pls try to disable "Autostart" then. BTW, what's your device? OS?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aslher:
Hello A_C, any idea for this one?

Found a problem with spb Weather plugin

I use Deg.C. in spbWeather but the plugin calculates on it and displays differently.

As an example, if I set Farenheit in spbWeather it shows me 66/57 but the plugin shows 19/14

If I select Centigrade, spb Weather show 19/14 but the plugin shows -7/-10

Does that make sense?

Love the program and I'm using the latest version 1.17 with the patch 1.174

P.S. here is a weather.bmp file I just made from the spb xAqua icons:

VGA (the true one)

I think there is a lot of users that would like this software working @ true VGA, I say 640x480. But there are not a lot of devices (comparative) that are capable of working at this resolution so, we keep stuck... I agree that for 3' is sometimes a eagle job to work at true vga, but some of us like it (I like it), and this kind of PDAs are faster and have more memory. So, 6 megs is not a think to worry about... and there are some guys that will love this!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
I'm not sure with media player but with the htc the trick is start your music, hit the power button (music will pause)

Press it again so slide 2 unlock comes up and music plays. Wait about 5 seconds and the screen will blank and music will keep playing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blbeesley:
I apologize if this has already been answered (i've tried to skim many of the pages of this thread but haven't found my answer as of yet) but here's my question:

- this program works fine except for one thing. When I enable it and I have the slide2unlock screen showing on my Cingular 8525, none of the buttons work EXCEPT the PTT button. I'm not sure why this is but it is quite annoying because I have a sideways case for my phone. I have to wait to put the phone in my case until the screen goes black (at which point the only button that will turn on the screen showing the slide2unlock is the power button). Any ideas how to get it so the PTT button won't work when the Slide2Unlock screen is showing?

hi there i have just started getting into this.. and my gawd its great!!! BUT.. yup the buttttttttt..

@Aslher

I do not understand your 1st question. For your 2nd question, pls look for the 1.174 patch as another thread in this forum.

@craigiecraigie4 & @lukas718

Some WM6 users also reported the same problem. I'm not sure is it because they're using a cooked/custom rom or Language problem. Anyway, I'm downloading some WM6 emulator for testing. Let me see if there is any possible fix.

@davehutch

In order to reproduce your scenerio, could you export the registry tree under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Weather" and post it to me?

@ericksonlk

So far you're only the 2nd VGA user who has RAM spared... actually, it'll take 6.5M...

@blbeesley

It's a device specific issue that cannot be solved.

@devilgrins

There is a v1.17 WM2003 cab file & a v1.174 patch file (which can be found in a separate thread in this forum). Pls try to google them.

had to enable and disabe cities, refresh data several times and all I got was the N/A icon.

Eventually got it to show the correct icon again by enabling two cities at once.

As a further piece of information, the units do not display corrctly if I select London as the City and BBC as the data source. However, if I select Gismeteo as the data source for London, the units are fine.

Has anybody tried using this with SPB MobileShell? I was using SlideLock for quite a while before I got MobileShell, and now it will freeze after one or two locks, and I need to reset the phone.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] davehutch:
OK, figured it out.

I'm using a template for spb Weather to get data from the BBC.

@davehutch

Glad you've found the solution, that save me a lot.

@Janson & @NxJay

SLIDE do check if the phone is talking, it'll not come out. What's your device? OS?

Besides, Neonstorm has a solution on that, please take a look at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1362051&postcount=95

@syrguy1969

I'm also a SPB fans & using Mobile Shell but do not have your problem. Though I only use the Today's plugin part. I doubt your device's hang is due to out of memory.

@horent135

Pls try to search this forum...

@Aslher

Ok. Maybe the next version will make you happy.

@rohanmaini

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. If you want SLIDE to off the LCD when listening to WMP, please try to set

- OffLCD to 5 or larger

- BlankScreen to 1

Make sure to restart iLock to reload the changed settings.

Besides, recommend to use MortPlayer for smaller footprint.

EDIT: Just found a problem when running WMP, then press Power Key will cause WMP to stop. Will try to fix it. :)

@jarend01

Pls try to google it.

@boyfriendinacoma

Storage card installation is not recommended.

@lukas718

I've tried on WM6 emulator with different Languages, but could not reproduce your problem. I'm afraid it may be a device specific problem.

@sickstewart

The easiest way to have black background is set "Wallpaper" & "WallpaperLandscape" to "\Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Clock\S.bmp". It'll save some memory as well.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eggert:
great!

Hi A_C,

this is a really great program - thanks a lot!

I discovered some bugs on my Himalaya WM5.

I will observe it because I don't exactly know when they appear.

- Sometimes at the first start the caller ID did not work and the device

showed a white screen.

- I just picked up a call and the standard call-screen with dial-pad was

shown. But the upper part of the screen was not from WM5 but from

slide2unlock. had to reset the device.

- when I turn on the device, it first shows the time when I turned it off

and after 0,5 seconds the right time is shown - would be nicer to wait

these 0,5 seconds and then turn the display on or something else to

immedieatly show the right time.

- device turns on with each button - should only be the power button

- an analogue clock would be reeeally nice!

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I installed this program just to see what it was like, but i never normally lock my phone (i just put it to sleep), so i later uninstalled it. Problem is, i still get the unlock sound every time i wake up my phone (when the sound is on) which is driving me crazy. I looked in the registry and didn't see anything that was left over from this program... Do you know where that is? I searched this thread already and only found 9 posts with the word "sound" in them, so i assume this hasn't been asked before....? If anyone knows, i'm all ears. Oh, and i looked in the sounds panel on the phone and it doesn't look like there is anything there either... Thanks,
