Does your phone have a D-Pad? Activating the D-Pad lets you use the right press of the D-Pad to unlock - very easy one-handed but very unlikely to do by accident.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
A_C,

Have a good bit of time off!!

[Opinion]

Slide accomplishes 2 primary things.

1. It emulates the unlocking procedure used by the iPhone, which is a brilliant way to do it.. Usual Apple..

2. It provides #1 to PPC users.

The more features that are added, the slower it will get. The slower it gets, the more useless it becomes.

It seems to me that the program is already crossing the threshold on my device. All I need is for it to lock the phone and display notifications I NEED to see on the lock screen for it to be useful as a phone. If I want to see the weather, I can look out the d@mn window or unlock the d@mn phone. I choose functionality over fluff every time. So I humbly beg that you please consider stability of code before advancing the feature set. That will give us minimalists a dropping off point. Even though I can disable the added features, the program is definitely getting slower with each release on my device.. It is unfair to ask that you branch your code base, that is just too much work. That is why I was asking about source code. Code is, however, art and I completely understand your stance on its release.

[rant]

I am warning everyone that I am moody about all these feature requests. And I have to mouth off about some of them. Just do not take it personal. It is my opinion, and we all know the old saying about opinions...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Same here, I am running it to test for stability and resource use.

I am already seeing quite a delay in ring->caller ID time.

Also, if ilock and slide are disabled, so is the caller ID for the phone. I thought that before, regular caller ID would work if slide and ilock were out of memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Surely there are other locking programs that can do that. This seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from what this program tries to accomplish. I for one want all the buttons disabled when locked (other than power of course)..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Yes, please - another vote from me A_C too!

You can already do this, just turn the registry parameter on for your D-Pad/D-Key and you can unlock it easily, one-handed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
A_C

Have a great holiday! :)

On the new v.1.19 version..

1) First try, when phone is asleep, S2U failed to activate the Caller ID when there's an incoming call. In fact, the phone hung. When phone is awake, no problem.

2) After hung twice and two soft resets, when phone is asleep by activating S2U or other 'onscreen' power off feature, no problem for Caller ID to be activated. :)

Will continue to monitor.

Edit: Phone still hung. Think v.1.19 is not that stable yet. v.1.184 (patch) works well for me. Since I don't need the animated feature, will revert back to v.1.184 :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeniorNoob:
Sooooo

SO NOBODY IS GOING TO RESPOND TO MY NOOB QUESTION HMMMM..........JUST BYBASS MY QUESTION. HOW DO I IMPORT THE ANIMATED GLOBE REGISTRY FILE TO SLIDE2UNLOCK PLEASE ? <<<<<<<<<------I USED A QUESTION MARK THIS TIME SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW ITS A QUESTION.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jimbobcooterrooter:
being a rude douchebag will not get your question answered fast a matter a fact it might have an opposite effect
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Your absolutely correct :D.

Take it easy SeniorNoob. Not everyone is on this forum 24/7. You gotta give it some time before reposting.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I don't know how to import the registry either.. but what I will do, is to create the new registry myself, using the value provided.

The path you've quoted is correct. Just select 'new' and input the 'DWord' and then set the value.

Trial and error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeniorNoob:
Thanks Sian

Thank you for your reply. While I was waiting for a answer , I was playing around with memmaid and found out how to import the registry file for the antimated globe. Looks good.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi Sian

Hi A_C

This version 1.19 fixed all the problems i had...actually i had to unistall the previous one for the callerID malfunction, this one works great in all modes without any problems..definitly a keeper

i also did the registry fix for the GLOBE animation just by clicking it & copying the bmp file as per your instruction, works fine & took me 2 seconds only

but i have a question: if you decide to go back to the older "still" background, simply adjusting the registry back to "wallpaper" instead og "globe" doesn't work..can you please provide registry instruction about how to revert back to regular still back ground or maybe upload another registry file that reverses the globe one by simply clicking it

Again EXCELLENT job..thanks thanks thanks

have a nice vacation
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aburman:
Did you soft reset after editing the registry back to wallpaper.jpg?

Worked just fine for me...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Thank you for having solved the keyboard issue. Sorry for not having replied you before, but I was on vacation at the seaside :)

I'll immediatly try the 1.19 version, thanks.

Not sure how slide found my weather icons (not using spb/pw/wp) but it is working... cool!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fluxc:
can tis work on touch?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi

yes, did a soft reset & got the flower pic nback but was shrunk in the middle & flickering..so i deleted the last four registry entries that relate to the animated wallpaper (globe)..those four entries start with "Wp...." then changed the wallapare registry location from "globe" to "wallpaper" followed by soft reset..now i have the old "still" pic back

the main reason i shifted back is (as A_C warned us) is the battary life was going down fast with the animated version

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lucausee:
great work slide 2 unlock, but...

:confused: 1 - but i have a question: if i decide to go back to the older background from AnimatedGlobe, what i have to change in the registry?

:confused: 2 - I own an HTC P3600, and if i turn on the light (while the ppc sleeping, about 2 min. after the last use) the first time that i turn on 'the slide' doesn't work, if i turn off and on (all in 1 or 2 sec.) , 'the slide' works fine.

However is a great software...

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
PLEASE rerelease a WM2003 compatible version!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

Did you have the Slide2Unlock (S2U) resides in the RAM, or exit totally? Check the registry for 'CloseApp' (0=reside in RAM, 1=exit). If it is the latter (exit totally), then it will take a bit more time (1-2 sec) sometimes to load S2U when you off and on the ppc. If you have it resides in the RAM, should be much faster if not instantaneously.

I'm using a HTC P3600 too.

Read the post just above yours for more info on registry change to use Animated Wallpaper (& uninstalling).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I'm now experiencing instability with S2U although I've switched back to v.1.184.. esp when I on Haali Reader and off the phone while in the Reader. When there's an incoming call, the phone will be on and S2U screen appears, but sometimes, it just stuck at that and can't hear the ringing too. Happened quite a number of times when I test out the application.

Anyone experience this? Oh yes, I set the S2U to exit after I on the phone, rather than staying in the RAM. Not sure whether this could have caused the instability..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I believe so. Have you tried it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Did you give the application a try before this? More info on how you did it would be helpful for the rest to provide their advice.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
I tried the 1.19 version and I have to say that it works very well.

With the 1.18 I

had some strange behaviours

(for instance it didn't auto-lock when the phone went in standby and with AutoStart set to 1), but with 1.19 they are gone. :)

The

landscape problem

I had with some previous versions (after unlocking the screen became black and didn't show the today screen)

is disappeared

! Now it works perfectly also in landscape!

I still have to test the CallerId function but at the moment I'm very happy with this version.

Excellent work A_C.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
Am I alone ? I use 1.17 because with 1.18x and 1.19 my battery go down after 8 hours. If I lock my phone with S2U at 11PM ( battery 100% ), when I wake up at 7AM my phone is off ( battery 0 % )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
I am not seeing this behavior. I tested it last night. I had 70% on battery at 11:30 PM and woke to 40% this morning. That was after a 239 MB automated backup that ran for 59 minutes at 5 am... and stored to the flash card...

I do keep it running in memory and have autostart set to 1..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Try setting it to stay in RAM and see what happens, or did you try that already?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
.190 Observations...

So far, no lockups.

I do like the way that slide deactivates while on the phone, but reactivates as soon as I hang up.

(However, I am unable to talk on the phone while it is in the holster. I still would like to have a choice on it staying locked when in a call)

However, it would make sense for it to be able to lock if the phone app is running and the phone is idle or turned off. As-Is this requires the user to always to remember to close the phone app or risk embarrassing consequences. An autolock program should be there to defend us from our own carelessness and stupidity.

Where are we getting the memory usage stats?

On my device, slide is only using 1654KB and ilock a mere 7KB of RAM.

In the idle state, ilock has 0 CPU usage and slide fluctuates between .2 and 1.2 %. I would like to find a logging program that could monitor those stats all day to give us an idea of how efficiently it is operating...

Slide never drops below .2 so that has me curious as to what in is doing all the time...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vladimir2989:
Red button Quit Slide 2 Lock without sliding !

Red button Quit Slide 2 Lock without sliding !

i got treo 750 and it hasse power buton same as red phone button which also close app and returning to today screen

well when i turn on the phone from sleep it comes up with slide2unlock

as it shuldbut then i cen quit it justby pressing red buton which take it to today screen !

also

any incoming e-mail or SMS mesege will bring pop up window wich also go over S2U i have to usual options Dismiss or view

if Dismiss it go back to S2U if view then quit S2U :mad:

How to fix all these ?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
The red button issue is definitely a problem.

The other two are because S2U is not equipped to handle those events. I would imagine that because of the plethora of programs available for those tasks, it may be difficult to code for. I am not a PPC coder (yet) so I am not sure.

In any case, your only option is to wait for A_C to get back from vacation and see what the issue might be. Surely someone else on here has the same device and could compare notes with you..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vladimir2989:
well the pop up cen be diasabled in alarm setings so that not a big problem

but whet to do about red button ?

it makes S2U usssless
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zetex:
can anybody help me with my previous post...

brand new install which version should i use??

thanks alot

Z:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
Unless there is a device specific setting that is preventing it from locking, you will have to wait until the developer returns from vacation. Hopefully someone else on this board has the same device and can offer some insight.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] korea206:
anyone got an answer for why i cant hear ringtones?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:

Thank you for your kind cooperation Sian.

But.... 'CloseApp =0' and the problem is:

I press the switch on the upper right side and i turn off the light.

If i press again in some seconds (5/10/30 sec.) everything works fine.

If i press again 2 or more minutes the screen Freeze, the light after 2 second turn off and i have to press again to see the slide moving...

I try to change from animated to normal (maybe is the source of my problem!!??) but i don't know what i have to do in the registry. I delete all voices about wpFrame? and...

Thank you. Luuca

A couple of things...

1. You can make registry changes with a variety of programs...I use PHM Registry Editor (regedit).

2. Make registry changes with caution! You can hose your device with registry changes. Always make a backup of a stable registry before you make ANY changes.

To make registry changes with Regedit, just open the program and you will see the registry tree. These are HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR), HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM), HKEY_USERS (HKU). These are where the registry keys reside. For Slide2Unlock, the registry keys are located in HKCU\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock. Then follow the instructions in A_C's readme. To create a new value using Regedit, just click Edit, New String Value or New DWORD Value, depending on the instructions.

To make changes in Total Commander, double click on the folder titled "\\". Double click on the "registry" folder, and you will see the keys with abbreviated names (HKCR, HKCU, etc.) Navigate by double clicking to HKCU\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock. Change a value by double-clicking the value.

Before you go on a rant next time, maybe you should do some reading. I didn't know how to make registry edits in Total Commmander until about 15 minutes ago, when I searched the forums at the Total Commander website for "how registry edit".

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
A number of users have reported that Slide2Unlock works on the Orbit. For a clean installation, just start with the v1.19 cab file. Then make the registry tweaks.

Activation through hard-keys

Thx Westronic, and rest of replies!

I activated the d-pad in the registry and the option is GREAT :cool: in my

P3300. Rolling the ball to the right unblocks the phone. Great one-hand operation.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeniorNoob:
Thank you for you help, but

I already posted after that bad comment to Sian that I figured it out while I was waiting for a response. I used memmaid to import the registry and I have the globe working also.

Does the animation run smooth??

Also, if you used photoshop to create the wallpaper...can you upload the psd file so it will be easier for us to change it with our names.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi again

i have Eten M700 with WM6, i always had a problem with the landscape mood ... it pulls up the regular protrait file & slider does not work..if you tap randomly you may get hang ups or just go back to work screen.. i was never able to get the landscape background or slider to move Lt to Rt there even with the newest release.

I had also a similar issue, I get the slider to show on the 1st wake up but not sliding until a sec or two..i just wait & retry, never turn off & on again...its only at 1st wake up so its not a big deal to me

Doesanyone have a software that converts GIF to BMP to use for animated background?..the software i have chops GIF into few BMP files..then i fuse them side to side to make it work..any easier solutions?

also, can someone please explain what does "NoSusspendMode" does exactly?? i did not find it in the instructions/comments anywhere?...thank you

Thanks A_C for listening & fixing these issues...Nice software that keeps getting better

Good day everyone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nesty24:
I don't think it's smooth, and even it's smooth, i don't care bcoz of the concept of the animation. Have you tested my wallpaper?

change the reg value of WpFrameNo to 8 (because it has 8 frames only)

Anyway here's the PSD file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
No, I have not tested your wallpaper yet. I am going to test out this new function of S2U soon though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sylvanusquek:
Hi,

I am having a similar problem with landscape and portrait. Even though I am using a square screen, Slide2Unlock goes into landscape mode, and touching anywhere on the touchscreen does not work at all; i have to use the d-pad.

Also, it seems a lot sluggish when unlocking as compared to previous versions.

By the way, I do still love the Caller ID feature!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JJkidd26:
need help with step 2 c

c. new a registry value "IncomingText" (STRING) under "\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock" and enter EXACTLY the above TEXT

i am new @ this can some one tell me how i find this info on my phone i am having a hard time locating it. this is for the caller id
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Call your own phone. The text at the top of the popup is what you have to enter in the registry value.

On my device its "Phone - Incoming..." All without the quotes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JJkidd26:
i no that it says i have to change something in the registry and dont know where to find it on my phone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Wooley:
Registry Editor

You need to have a registry editor, i.e PHM Regedit, TaskMgr to be able to change anything in the registry.

What ROM are you using? If you are using B&B v3.7 go to programs there should be a folder called applications and in there, there should be a program called PHM Regedit.

hope this helps you :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
You can use Total Commander also.

My animated background...

Here's an animated background I just made. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's called the Eye of the Crimson King. The Crimson King is the main antagonist in Stephen King's Dark Tower series, one of the best (set of) stories I've ever read. The character also bleeds over into some of King's other novels. As for the number nineteen, well, you just have to read the books to get it.

Hopefully some other DT fans will enjoy it!

Please note - this is just a gif preview that won't work with S2U. Please download the image below. It has 24 frames, so set the WPFrameRate accordingly. I also use a delay of 15ms, so be sure to set WPFrameRate also.

Be warned - it's a biggun (about 5mb) so you'll definitely want to store it on your storage card. :)

Great app

I love this app, however I hate the massive memory footprint when it's running

5.5MB? What is this thing written in, LISP?

I've tried having it set to exit on close (or whatever that setting is called) and indeed it does free up memory just fine, however it does not reliably behave as far as locking the screen goes (which is kinda the main point of the thing) - works fine when you press poweroff, works randomly when you let it timeout to go to sleep.

Anyway, if there is any way to slim this sucker down, it would be massively appreciated. 5.5 Meg... man...

Again, thanks for the great app.
