I waited in line for an hour to see the iPhone today (no I didn't buy one), and I'd just like to say, A_C, great job! slide2unlock lives up to the real thing. In fact, with all those features, it might even be better. The only problem is the slight delay in loading, but that's a windows restriction, and that multitouch definately helps make it easier to slide with your finger, but aside from that, it's just like the real thing!

Slide link

I dont see the download link anymore where Can I download the Slide thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] despairingone:
Aww hell, I have a few questions myself but overall I understand it's a work in progress so I'd just like to Thank you A.C. Great Job!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
The download link has been removed at the request of Apple's lawyers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I wonder what that will mean for upgrades? I think that is kinda petty of Apple, emulating a certain aspect of it's programming is not like duplicating the hardware...in fact Apple does it themselves with their PC's, they emulate windows on them so people can utilize both OS's.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Dangit, so does that mean we can't get it anymore?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Well, unfortunately at this point, no. The admin is looking further into this and we will keep everyone updated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Well, it's a bit more than just emulating certain aspects of this feature that their claiming. They're asserting that their code is actually in there. If that's the case, they're fully in their rights to have it pulled (unfortunately) :mad: .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Not a big deal, just google "slide 2 unlock". There are a couple of places that have the 1.17 version. I just download it ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
well, last I checked, slide2ulock is open source (A_C, am I right? I haven't seen any souce code released, but no one asked. Plus, t was when it was fist released, but under no particular license.), so if apple thinks we stole their code, why don't they go and check?

Judging by the fact that this was released a couple months before the phone, and runs on a completely dirrerent OS, written in a PPC specific language, I would say all the code is original...

here is my iphone theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Agreed.

Just apple's lawyers throwing their weight around. While this could be compared to one feature of the iphone, it was written BEFORE the phone was released (i'm sure apple will probs confirm that there have been no leaks of iphone source code). Therefore by all rights, they have no legitimate reason to force xda-dev to take down the link.

IMO xda-developers should set up a safe harbour FTP site (like xbox-scene did with the #xbins FTP) where companies can't touch any of the files uploaded. That'd solve a LOT of problems around here (with the MS takedowns of WM5 and apple's takedowns of anything that could be remotely connected to the iphone).

Hopefully this app won't go down the route of twyzen's version. That was a real shame.

Keep developing A_C. We all still owe you lots of cups of coffee.

Hi,i've spb weather installed in main memory but no icon appears.I put 1 in the registry.Any solution ?

Edit : i've found the problem : N/A it's because the the current day is not shown.

Don't forget too,to copy "files.tpl" in program files\spb weather\templates.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jongsoo:
There is no emulation involved, it runs directly on the hardware, as it would on a PC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
If there were emulation it would be REALLY slow. especially since the iphone has better hardware than ppcs

Any way to get the weather from SPB Mobile Shell instead of SPB Weather? Don't want to install it just for that and I'm already using SPB Mobile Shell :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I guess I should have reworded my question a bit...The last time I checked the new download site (and currently as well) there was no mention of a new version/patch on the main page, giving me no cause to look further. I did this time, (thank you very much delude for pointing it out again, giving me cause to search around a bit more). This (if it works tonight after I install) is the ultimate app for me......finally a screen lock I like and can work with (I hate Treo's native lock)!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
What`s with these 1.17x updates on that site?

There`s no readme or changelog so how are we supposed to know what the updates are meant to do?

Methinks something`s not right about this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
? Go on...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
There is a readme file in the download.

I agree the lack of notification of a new version on the main page is a bit confusing, but once you get to the download page, you can see the version numbers, and go from there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Thanks for the great app. Works GREAT with weatherpanel for me.

It saddens me that apple would ban this little app as it has been a real creative way to lock our phones. By any chance... maybe you could modify it to push to unlock and have an animated button you have to push and change the back ground if the code actually it's from them.

Due to apple's response... maybe the background should have dead clown fish LOL!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
Can anybody help me set up weastherpanel correctly? It doesn't seem to work when I am over Wifi. I need to know what information needs to be typed into the Area code bit, and how to properly set up a city.

Having issue with patch 1.73

I used version 1.1, which I still don't know how to configure...when you say you change the values are you using a registry editor? Secondly, When I wanted to overwrtite the 1.1 slide.exe with the 1.73 slide.exe I get the message, "Cannot delete 'slide': There has been a sharing violation.

The source or destination file may be in use.

I cannot delete the files either, as I get the same message. Is there a way to resolve this? There is no ilock.exe or slide.exe in Taskmanager ...I tried soft-resetting and moving the ilock.exe to the startup and start menu too but no difference. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Does the newest version still take up 5mb of RAM when running? I sometimes have Opera browser and Mortplayer open at the same time, which leaves very little RAM left.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
You need to go o file browser and run iLock from there, it will then terminate and you are free to delete or upgrade.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
Ah, fair enough.

Doesn't matter anyway now tho, seeing as the site creator's gonna be shutting down on friday.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NxJay:
BTW here are a few resized wallpapers from the iphone wallpaper pack found at http://www.plasmadesign.co.uk/iPhone.htm

All you have to do is rename the pic you want to wallpaper.bmp and stick it in the slide2unlock directory.

IMO the bora one looks the best. Way better than the official iphone globe wallpaper found in all the youtube vids.

I have yet to find their landscape counterparts but if anyone has the time to reshape the originals (found at the link above), please post the finished results here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agocs:
End?

Hello AC!

I saw that the downloads will be deleted from everywhere. What does this mean? :confused: Is this the end of the development of Slide2Unlock??? :eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
Well, maybe an end to PUBLIC developement... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Even though I personally feel Apple as a whole are being A__'s about this entire thing, I don't know of any other way we could benefit from any more development without A_C running the risk of getting himself in trouble.

At this point, I think we all aught to buy A_C a few gallons of coffee, thank him profusely for all the work he has done on an absolute killer app, and hope Apple realizes they are crying over something they themselves have been doing since day one (isn't that the idea of technology....ideas growing and spreading from another idea?)!!

Thanks you A_C, and I do look forward to any future endeavors you may undertake!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Redlibanon:
True!

Thanks A_C

Redlibanon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
I meant, he'll probably keep working on it, he just wont be able to release it any more. I'm pretty sure he can't get in trouble for writing the app for himself.

And even though it seems you can't release it any more, thanks for all the hard work you've put into this! It couldn't be much better.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Has anybody had the latest version/patch freeze on you? Lately my device has been freezing more often than not when trying to unlock the phone. I am not sure if it is the slidelock app, or maybe it conflicts with SPB MobileShell (my only new app). I was thinking maybe the 'Now' screen that comes with MobileShell....any ideas? Suggestions? I am looking into disengaging (if I can) the 'Now' screen, and seeing what happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ls6tt:
Hasnt locked up on me

Great application by the way, easy to use and customize..outstanding
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shaeflan:
It must be the patch.

I have had SPB MobileShell installed for over a week with no issues.

I have not applied the patch because I do not use a weather program.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Well....I have been using this for many versions on my Treo 700WX, and the current version and patch freeze almost every time. I will disable it for now, but if A_C (or anyone else) has any suggestions, I am more than open to any and all, I love this app, and love the changes in the patch!!!!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cdelauz02:
Like wise, it has frozen mines from time to time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@cdelauz02

As you've not mentioned what device you have, I guess it is TREO 750, and someone reported this problem in the past. But there is no solution as this is device-specific problem.

scott_donald

It should be easily done but not with this version.

@syrguy1969

The main difference v1.17 and the patches v1.17x is the weather plugin. v1.17x will consume about 1k more memory than v1.17. The extra memory needed is dynamic - it depends on which icon is displayed. Some icons need more memory because they are animated (did I mention it before? ;) ). OK, back to your question, if your device can run the old version without problem, then the latest patch should work fine. Just make sure it has enough free ram (about 5M) to run. For your case, any error message come out when it's freezed?

new fonts for the time display

A_C, I hope you don't mind, but I made a couple alternative fonts for the time display. One is based on 'marker', the other on a 'computer' font.

To use the new fonts, you have to copy the new images to the correct folder. I suggest you make a copy of the current images in case you want to go back.

Unzip the attached file and place the contents in the folder

\Program Files\Slide2Unlock\GFX\Clock

After you copy the files, run the program iLock.exe on your device, and you'll get a dialog box stating 'iLock & slide are closed.' Now run iLock again (no message this time) and you're set.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] killabee44:
Robohaxx,

Thanks, although I do not like the ones you posted. It is still nice to have options. I saw a font I really liked but it was from a plugin from I think weatherpanel or another retail today plugin. How difficult are they to create?

alarm fix

there is an alarm tweak thats somewhere in one of these posts....its called wakeup tweak . i guess do a search for those words in the forums. hope that helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roboHaxx:
Killabee44,

The 'fonts' are really just bitmap image files. I create an image in photoshop thats 40 pixels high and write white characters on a black background. I then chop up the image into separate files, one for each number.

I haven't been able to get transparency to work so any attempts at smoothing the images results in a sloppy looking time display. Maybe A_C could chime in and give me some hints....

So, really, its just a matter of creating a string of numbers in the font you like and chopping them up into individual files. tedious, but simple to do.....

Slide To Unlock theme

jambaj0e that theme looks good, is it possible you could upload the files for theme ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Do you use WAD? The only thing is that there are a lot of custom software that's linked to each buttons (Resco pocket radio, TodayAgenda, SBSH PocketWeaver, etc), so you may have to do a lot of relinking to your own apps

That goes for anyone else who's thinking of posting "where can i get the app files from?"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rklosinski:
I have ppl and the original source. Is there anyway that you will share your modifications to the public?

Also, PPL is new to me ( I just purchased it!), but not ppc programming and still do not know all its capabilities (of PPL)... did you write iLock in PPL?

I was going to add appointments and tasks to the screen, and your version seemed like a better place to start.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrisonline:
Is there any solution out there :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
My first question would be (sorry if this is a dumb one, but I don't have it); Where is and how is "device lock" on the Today screen?

My first instinct to your question is to ask what Today screen apps you use? I used to tack slidelock on my PocketPlus app.

Does anybody out there use slidelock with MobileShell? I can't get the two to work together without freezing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dominicmcintire:
How is this Apple copyrighted material. It is written for Windows Mobile, not any Apple product. Apple never shared their source code with anyone. The sliding lock feature is the only thing that still remotely resembles anything Apple has done, since the backgrounds have been changed and the message counts, etc... have been added. This would be Apple bullying, but almost certainly not enforceable as none of their copyrighted material was ever used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wwwdrich:
Because under current law and existing case precedent, user interface is covered by copyright. By exactly duplicating the user interface you violate copyright.

Do I think this is right, no. Do I agree with Apple chasing folks down for this, no. But, it is a legal issue and who do you think has the bigger lawyers?

Volume Icon

Hi all can anybody explain to me how to get the Volume icon to work, I am sure it has worked at some point, but now it always has a Cross next to it!

I have an XDA Orbit WM5, using V1.17 without the patch as the dL file is corrupt. The App is working very well. Phone calls work well and it locks again after, and never unlocks its self.

Thanks A_C for the Cool App.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
All I want is the functionality of the basic "slide-to-unlock" using the D-Pad. I do not want any other feature like weather, wallpaper, etc. I do not even care about using the touch screen to "unlock."

Perhaps that woudl avoid any copyright issues? It would, perhaps, be iPhone-inspiired, but not a copy at all.

I think this would also give a smaller memory footprint.

Any chance of getting something like that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
Sure. Set "CloseApp" to "0" so that apps do not get suspended while the screen lock is active.
