Sometimes I've overestimated my power... :rolleyes:

As I said before, reverse engineering consumes time & not accurate. And I'm not working at SPB & does not have the full documentation on how the weather data are stored. For custom weather source, that means diversity can be expected. So it seems out of my ability to get it done.

For the 1.16 file, as it's not on-hand right now. Maybe other guys can help you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardGuy:
Thanks for all you've done. I can't tell ya the "wows" and raised eyes I get at work when I show them the slider.

Anyone have a copy of 1.16? I think that's the last working version that allows you to use custom weather sources.

Thanks.

hi A_C,

i was wanted to ask regarding my last post (posted a little after you posted your v1.17) about how the new v1.17's testing on my xda magician (stock ROM v1.11.00 WWE) & ipaq hx2405(plain pda, WM5 uncustomized ROM).

like you mentioned, v1.161's iLock.exe is used in v1.17 for WM2003se. and true enough, it now lets me map the app to any button unlike v1.164. but sadly though, after activating slide it does not suspend my magician after the alotted AcOffLcd&OffLcd 10sec setting. it simply "hangs". i then touch the screen and the text shimmers again but then "hangs" after the 10sec mark. :(

(settings are AcOffLcd&OffLcd=10, autostart=0, idlestart=0, AcBlankscreen&blankscreen=0, closeapps=1, the rest are default)

regarding the ipaq hx2495, the wake-up time lag compared to v1.164 has decreased (v1.164 takes 5-6 button presses). but v1.17 still takes 3-4 button presses though just to wake the device up. and when i close iLock.exe, the wake-up time is back to normal, just 1 button press. (slide2unlock settings are same as the magician's above)

thank you very very much for still taking your time to consider WM2003se in v1.17's release! (we all know that magician's upgrade to WM5 is a lost cause) i just want to clarify if there is a possible fix to my v1.17 observations on both my magician & ipaq hx2495. :) coz if there would be none :( as advised, i'll simply resort to just using v1.161 for magician and v1.131 for the ipaq :(. but again my deepest thanks for all your releases!

regards, myownregister

1.17 Update

***UPDATE***

Seems that when I emailed myself the rom from my desktop, something got lost in transition. 1.17 installed fine.

I would just like to say thanks for the continued hardwork A_C. I will definitely fill your coffers with a little something shortly.

I have an issue for anyone, I presently have the 1.164 version. I've tried to update to the 1.17 version but the installer keeps saying:

"Unable to install to the location, try another location" I've tried both device and storage. Is there a setting I'm missing to install this.

I'm using vp3G's WM6 v1.0 (LVSW 05-19 variant) [CINGULAR-optimized] rom.

thx

Hello A_C,

First of all my compliments for your excellent work on this app. Many welcome features have been added.

I am having a little problem with it though. When the lock is activated it always displays the unread text messages/e-mails icon with the number -1 next to it. I don't know how to get rid of this and I have no unread messages either, so if you could drop me a line I'd be more than thankful.

Possible solution to non-english characters

Have you tried using the Tahoma font?

To the best of my knowledge, all international versions of WM have a localized Tahoma font.

I'm using a localized WM myself (hebrew), and the problem arises only with apps that don't use Tahoma.

Anyways, besides that - version 1.17 is fantastic and working smoothly on my Mio A701. Keep up the good work!

yes, it's just 3-4 poor icones made by paint ;) overwrite the file in your device. Wallpaper is just an example to show the lock hidden by the arrow.

Hi A_C,

congratulations again on a great release!

after days of use in my magician WM2003se, i installed it exactly as instructed and it works great! however, i had noticed a relatively tiny mishap though. there will be times when i would launch iLock through the mapped hardware button and the screen would just "blink" or iLock would attempt to launch but will not. then pressing the hardware button again a 2nd time would successfully launch it and everything works fine after. is this a normal reaction from time to time?

regards,

myownregister
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Shouldn't you mapped the hardware button to 'Slide.exe'? Then pressing the button will launch 'Slide', rather than through 'iLock'.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Actually, I got the same incident but rarely. I doubt it's because the timer of the IDLEstart sometimes cannot be reset, but not sure when or how. Could you help me to test more deeply that under what situation it'll happen again? Thanks.

No, because SPEED. In most cases (assume the "\Windows\StartUp\iLock.exe" is running at the background), run SLIDE or iLock (not in \Windows\StartUp) will launch SLIDE almost the same, except when "CloseApp" is 0. It's because iLock is written in C++, while SLIDE is PPL so... you know the difference... ;)

To other European buddies,

I'll upload a fix (display latin letters) later cause I cannot reach my PC right now...

Hi A_C,

I use saman-cz SMSDRFix, which can insert contact name in SMS delivery report. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=258130

Since version 1.13, I notice that whenever my Eten M600+ WM5 tries to display the SMS delivery report popup, the Slide2Unlock will be activated. Thus I can't access the popup. I'd have to re-run iLock to close iLock and SLIDE.

Below is a screen shot of the delivery report.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
For European users, pls try this patch (only has the SLIDE.EXE) & let me know does it work. Thx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
I've tried similar popup message on my device, but it can be displayed even SLIDE is running. Maybe you have set the "OffLCD" time too short. My recommended value is 15 seconds. Or suggest to disable the "IdleStart" if that message is important to you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr Groch:
No, it doesn't work... Still pi[]tek, should be piątek ;)

And again - error message after sliding the slider, same as in 1.132....

In debuglog.txt:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toblo:
I have "OffLCD" set to 0. This delivery report is usually appears in less then 5 seconds upon sending of the message.

I thought that "IdleStart" is to activate the slider when the backlight is off? If I set this to 0 as suggested, when the delivery report is received, I can see it and slider is not activated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
What's your regional setting? i.e. Start -> Settings -> Region

I'm totally lost about your "Access violation" error, as no one else has this problem. There is only 1 parameter changed between v1.13x. Have you updated you WM6 yet?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Actually the "IdleStart" used a trick to capture the screen's backlight changes. I think the backlight status maybe affected when that message popup... maybe some more research work then... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zachquiel:
Awesome program!

I just wonder if there's a way to disable the unlocking via D-Pad? (So it unlocks only with the screen?)

Or making it a button combination? Like PTT+D-Pad right?

I have read several thread pages from this and the original release to no avail on that question...sorry if it was already posted and I missed it.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

Great application! I have tree questions though;

1) Is it possible to add notification warning (icon), in the current version I have to unlock to get to the today screen to see if it is any new notifications (e.g appointment warnings)

2) How do I use the built in WM5/WM6 lock instead of iLock with the slide application, and is this better in any way?

3) When new SMS or email arrives the message is shown on top of the wallpaper and the lock slider, and the device is not locked at all (all buttons, soft buttons and touch screen is function normally), is this the right behavior or is it due to the fact that I'm using WM6 on the Artemis device?

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Great program - have been using it for the last week or so and am really liking the look of it!

However, I am having some problems when using SPBTime's alarm - as reported a few pages earlier, the slide is interfering with the alarm's snooze and off buttons. Ie., if I want to hit snooze (button appears in the bottom right), I have to first 'slide 2 unlock' which means touching the left-hand side and dragging to the right. But the alarm off buttom is in the bottom left which means I end up inadvertently turning off the alarm completely, while trying to unlock the phone to snooze it! Result: accidental sleep ins and an angry boss! :eek:

Now, the suggested workaround by another member was to enable the DPad in the Registry. Next time the alarm sounds, use the D-Pad to unlock then press the relevant alarm buttons to snooze. Tried it this morning but no luck - when the alarm is sounding, the D-Pad keys do not work, despite the registry key being enabled and the D-Pad controls working every other time.

Keep up the great work but I'm looking forward to any more workarounds/fixes for this annoying problem....

Thanks in advance :)

Answers

@myownregister

Yes, the "OffLCD" functions were broken in the WM2003 version, let me think about it in the next release...

But for your hx2495, as I cannot reproduce the error, I can't fix it...

@deenice

Though I cannot reproduce your error, could you try to uninstall the old one before installing v1.17?

@winguser

As I do not have your specific device, it's hard to answer. But with nearly 4000 users downloaded this app and with a few complaints around... you may figure out the answer by yourself. Good luck.

@man2003

try to extend the backlight timeout of your device or disable "IdleStart".

@SeanFromSoCal

The background cannot be transparent.

@fraqture

A soft-reset may help.

@ramit66

Thanks for the tips, but it's not the cause.

@paalkr

1. No

2. Pls check the user manual & uninstall SLIDE

3. Yes

@BlackBeauty

For the SPB Time, I have no solution on that. If SPB Time is important to you, suggest to uninstall SLIDE.

For the others, again, please read the 1st & 2nd posts on the first page.

Hi!

Thanks for reply that quickly to my questions, but I'm afraid I didn't quite grasp the message of you answers.

1) I didn't mean in the current version, but as feature request to upcoming releases.

2) What I meant was that I wanted to use slide together with the inbuilt lock mechanism. How is uninstalling slide make me do that?

3) I suggests that you consider changing the behavior in an upcoming release. The situation now is that an new message (of any kind) or an incoming call totally disables the lock function, and that is a little bit inconvenient as the main purpose of a phone lock, is to prevent accidental push of buttons or pressing the touch screen while you phone is in the pocket (or similar).

And again, thanks for a great application, and the great effort in developing it.

Regards,

PK

This is one of my "must be" aplications
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fffizzz:
Don't know if this has been covered or not as 70+ pages is alot to go through. Ive been using this for about a month now, but it seems that since I upgraded to 1.17, my alarms dont function correctly any more.

For example, when the alarm does go off, it just vibrates for about 2 seconds and nothing else. Last night as a test, i disabled it by clicking ilock to stop it from running and then set another alarm. The vibrate now lasts 5 seconds AND the selected ringer/alarm is played. When I enabled ilock again, the same behavior was seem. I unfortunately use my alarms relegiously on my phone for everything from getting up in the morning to other misc stuff.

Dont know if there is a work around or this is a known bug but throwing it out there.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mistellisch:
This problem, however, seems to be device-specific. I'm using iLock and SPB Time as well and had bad feelings before I installed slide2unlock whether the alarms would still work or not because some other devicelock-apps I tried before actually made problems.

With slide2unlock, however, it works perfectly fine. I had not one problem so far.

Nevertheless sometimes I wakeup the device awaiting to see the unlock-screen and find myself directly on the today-screen. So slide2unlock somehow seems to be skipped from time to time...

how can i change the wallpaper?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Just go into the registry editor, and change the wallpaper filepath to where you have the picture you want to use (just check out the first couple posts on page 1 for a better worded answer!!

Another trick I used is to save the picture you like as wallpaper.bmp and just replace the one that came with it in the program file.

P.S. If you use it, don't forget to change the landscape wallpaper as well!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] epi79:

one other question though, can I change the "device unlocked" button (in todays) to slidetolock icon ? so i dont have to click slidetolock icon in start mode everytime ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
If I understand your question correctly, just place a shortcut of the iLock.exe icon into your windows/startup folder on your device. That will start slidelock automatically after every soft reset.

@fraqture

What's your device? OS? But I think I may not be able to help as the readings simply retrieve a registry key...

@andrewlirow

Pls try to disable "IdleStart".

@paalkr

1. No means it's not possible.

2. No again because SLIDE cannot live together with the OS built-in lock. When both programs start when the device is woke up, sometimes there are some resources conflict be'tn them. If that happen, SLIDE will close by itself, otherwise, errors will come out.

3. That's another unreasonable request. When message comes in, most users, including myself, want to know what it is. After "read" or "dismiss" that message, SLIDE will come back & lock the device again. If you do not want any notifications, try to modify the notification setting of your device instead.

@fffizzz & joblesspirut

There are many factors that may affect the system Alarm, maybe you can try here to see anything useful. For me, I'm using iLock & the system Alarm everyday for weeks, so far nothing is missed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JohnHind:
In developing this, have you discovered how to access the switch that detects if the slide is open or closed, or have you found come cleaver proxy for this?

I ask because the auto screen rotation on slide behaviour of the TyTn really bugs me and I'd like to change it. I'm cool with it switching to landscape on slide open (but it also should switch on when you open the slide), but I do not want it to switch to portrait except on my specific command. Just because I do not want to use the keyboard anymore does not mean I want to work in portrait!
