v1.183 patch & Answers

Hey guys,

Just posted another quick update patch, the changes are:

1. fixed the problem that Caller ID of a Call Waiting will not be shown when "CloseApp" is 1

2. fixed the problem that soft buttons cannot be pressed on Landscape mode

3. added 2 options "NoSuspendMode" & "SafeMode" that are Power Management related, please read the readme for details

4. some bugs fixed (SPB Weather sometimes show N/A)

"NoSuspendMode" & "SafeMode"

===========================

If your device does not have any abnormal behaviour with the previous version, you may ignore these settings.

When "NoSuspendMode" is set to 1, the "OffLCD" & "ACOffLCD" will be disabled. It'll untouch the Power Management and leave it back to the OS. The downside of this setting is your device may consume more power.

When "SafeMode" is set to 1, iLock will not enter the "Unattended mode" (this is a special mode for the background jobs to run but without turning on the LCD). The device may need to soft-reset for "SafeMode" to be enabled. The downside of this setting is SLIDE will not be invoked when the device is power off. Instead, SILDE will be invoked when it's power on.

Installation

1. stop iLock

2. new a registry key "NoPowerSuspend" (DWORD) & set it to 1 (optional)

3. new a registry key "SafeMode" (DWORD) & set it to 1 (optional)

4. soft-reset if "SafeMode" is just added

5. start iLock & SLIDE

You may use any combination of these 2 settings. If you have problems with other "time" related apps, you may also try these new settings to see if there is any improvements. And remember to restart iLock everytime there is any settings changed.

@Aslher

Pls try the latest patch. The weather icon is only a forecast, pls look into the detail forecast of your PW.

@pprakash

Maybe the appointment details are too long...

@Sian

Just tried with my BT headset, no problem at all.

@MrBazUK, @neonstorm & @Westronics

Pls try the latest patch.

@matthew232

That blank background is out of my control.

@syrguy1969

Pls try the new settings of the latest patch.

@avieira

It's hard to block the "TouchFlow" as it's a device specific issue. And I'm pretty sure your said built-in lock is already tailor-made for your device.

@delude

No, there is no way to change that font's size.

@mchorney

I'm not fully understand your question, but you may try the latest patch to see if there is any improvements.

@randynchicago & @koukifc3s

The Caller ID part right now is a system call that is made by Microsoft. It may be not that intelligent as you think.

@blbeesley

Do not use the PPC Outlook to add pic. Pls read the previous post made by Sian on that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pprakash:
A_C,

Marvelous. After the appointment have passed its back to normal. I think its too long. Thanks for the update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Hey A_C, I dont understand the purpose of SafeMode.

What would it help do? Would it NOT allow Slide.exe to run when the phone is in standby?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
With the old version, iLock forces the system to enter "Unattended mode". When the power button is pressed, the user will see the LCD is off, but indeed, SLIDE is invoked & running. So when you press the power button again you see SLIDE immediately.

With "SafeMode" turned on, iLock will not go to "Unattended mode", power off is really power off. When you press the power button again, SLIDE is invoked by the wake up notification event. So you'll see the Today's screen (or whatever before power off) first, then SLIDE kicks in.

As reported by some users that their devices have some strange behaviour with iLock, so I decided to add this option & now you can choose.

Does it clear?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blbeesley:
A_C,

I tried the instructions that Sian gave and I still have low-resolution,grainy photos. I must be doing something wrong. (I'm using Outlook on MY PC to assign pictures instead of Outlook on my PPC). I don't know what else I could do.

Brock
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
Hmmm...

I'm having trouble with the new update. I overwrote the original files, and now iLock won't start. I can manually start slide.exe and it runs as normal.

I copied the 1.182 back over, and it starts as normal.

Soft reset, still no dice.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Is it intentional that when the phone is locked that if I slide open my Keypad it automatically unlocks the phone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

Don't assign photo using your PC Outlook. Do so manually in your Pocket PC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
A_C

So, if i leave things as it is, iLock will continue to go into 'Unattended mode' and activate 'S2U' while the screen is off? I like this! It enable us to see S2U when we on the phone again. :) I assume this is the process when i use onscreen power off feature too, right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
neonstorm: I had the same problem too. Just copy iLock back over the file again and it should work next time. No idea why that happened, lol... oh well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koukifc3s:
thanks for the update!

I just made you a donation by paypal, please continue the great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] srt10coupe:
@A_C

Hey thanks.

But in new version 1.183.

The iLock.exe will not run.

I click it but she don't started.

I make Soft-Reset but she don't started.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mifungo:
I'm going crazy!!! Since v1.18 was released wallpaper path registry key doesn't work anymore.

I insert full path including "\" at the start of path, but nothing that i can do to see wallpaper.

The only wallpaper that is displayed is the one in Slide2Unlock installation path, that flower.

Anyone else experienced this issue?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
^ That is the only one that is there, apart from the landscape wallpaper. In the registry you just need to change 'wallpaper.bmp' to 'wallpaper.jpg' if you get the error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blbeesley:
Sian, still no luck. I went into the "Contacts" on my Pocket PC, went to the contact, and where it gave me the option to "choose picture," I added a 240x320 pic (saved on my Pocket PC itself) . . . still grainy & low-rez. Is there another way to assign a picture to a contact on my Pocket PC?

sorry this is so difficult.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchorney:
Same problem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
hey mifungo, yeah i had the same problem even when fully specifying the path of a valid file on \Storage Card...my workaround was to copy the file to the same Slide2Unlock directory containing the default wallpaper and point the registry key to the new file name.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
^^Thats what I did, except I didn't make it clear in my other post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vithudu:
Hi A-C,

Everything is OK with S2Uv1.182 and with the CallerID installed on my HP6828 . But it happen that when a phone is coming there is neither vibration nor sound. :mad:

I used 3rd party soft (Inesoft Address Book) for Caller ID assignement, and I have already disabled it as your instruction. So, I guess this disabling causes no sound, no vibration anymore.:confused:

Also, I noticed keyboard icon appears on top left corner for few moment (I use Wisbar as someone has mentioned before).

Just inform you, I dont know if this is a bug? No one report it before????:eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roshanjain2:
icon

Hey...I too noticed the keyborad icon on top left corner for a few seconds :-(

Any thing to avoid that?

Also was curious to know if the phone dialer minimizes automatically after a few seconds or do u have to manually close it by pressing the call cancel hardware button...

I remember it minimizing automatically...but not anymore :-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
It's interesting to see how different PPC has different response to this application.

For those who has problem with the caller ID photo, sorry i'm no expert in this, but i just manage to get it up going on mine.. not sure whether there's any difference that i use 'Contact Manager' (developed in this forum too)..

Anyway, A_C i notice something in the S2U folder in the device memory..Saw a few AC_CallerID.bmp and AC_CallerPic.bmp, which are my home number and one of the caller ID photo i've done for my home. Any idea what're these files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ginex:
Here a bug with the .182 and also the .183 version:

App:Slide.exe

File:Slide.exe

Proc:WINMAIN

Opcode:LOADSPRITE

Char/Line/Offset: 0, 0,

0x005180e0

Error loading image

\Programmi\Slide2Unlock\GFX//Res/bootbars.bmp

In fact there's no bootbars.bmp into the Res folder.

Where can I download it ?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zgi:
you must install Slide2Unlock1.18-WM5.cab first. 1.181, 1.182, 1.183 are just patches.

I'm useing iLock from 1.182 patch and it works for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
A_C

Another observation.. not sure whether I accidentally press any button to close iLock, which is unlikely.. somehow iLock off by itself..

Do I need to replace or manually activate the shortcut in the 'Startup' folder? Cos' when I replace the iLock and S2U exe files from the patches, I need to re-run the shortcut I have on the Today Screen (I use iLauncher) to activate the new patches.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ginex:
@zigi: many thanks. Too fast to install and no time to read before. Many thanks.

Of course now it works very well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blbeesley:
Well, I got it figured out . . . you have to use the "Contact Manager" (developed in this forum) in order to have the proper resolution. I loaded that little app & set the pictures through that and I'm good to go

It's good to know!

Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neonstorm:
To all of us having problems starting the 1.183 version of ilock.exe:

Let's see if we can find a common point between us, hopefully to figure out the problem or at the least help A_C figure it out easier.

My device is a T-MO Wing running WM6. The only other 3rd party apps that are related to the phone or contacts are SPB Phone Suite and ContactManager.

How about you guys?

v1.183 patch 2

Hey guys,

I'm just back from work. Sorry that the earlier release contains some "under-development codes" that caused some unstability of iLock. I've rebuilt it & replaced the old one. Pls go to post 1 to get it. You may notice the file size is a bit smaller & the time stamp is newer.

For the wallpaper's path problem, I've tried to set it to use files stored at "Storage Card" & it works. My example is \storage card\my pictures\img002.jpg. I know the more the letters need to be typed, the greater chance of missing some letters. Besides, you have to resize the pic to match your device's resolution, otherwise only a portion will be displayed.

@vithudu

Pls make sure you have to soft reset after you have disable the callerID function of Inesoft AB. FYI, I also use it.

@roshanjain2

Have you tried the latest patch? Cause I cannot reproduce it, pls let me know does it work.

@Sian

Those AC_xxx.bmp are temp files to pass info from iLock to SLIDE.

@msm903

Yes, that's on purpose that keyboard slide will unlock the device.

As usual, thanks all for your time, coffee, support & comments . :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:

This is my forecast

And this is the problem

The new Slide2UnLock1.183-patch2 It does not block all buttons (camera, commanager, etc...) :(

Thank you for all.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Pls export the following registry tree & post it here for further study...

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SBSH\PocketWeather"

Since those buttons are different in different device, it's hard to block them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthewtse:
First, thanks for your great work on S2U! But I found some problems...

"If SLIDE is already activated before a phone call is incoming, SLIDE will be hidden when it's ringing; and SLIDE will be reactivated after the call"

I found that the above doesn't work on S2U 1.183. It worked well on 1.174 before.

If SLIDE is already activated before a phone call is incoming, the SLIDE will be reactivated only when I press hangup, the red button.

And it will not be reactivated after i pick up and finished the call, it only bring me to the Today screen after the phone screen is gone.

I've tried conbination settings with autostart=1 or 0, blankontalk=1 or 0, callerid=1, closeapp=0, idlestart=1 or 0, nopowersuspend=0, offlcd=5, safemode=1 or 0.

Additionally, the full screen caller photo and the caller info will not be displayed, only the phone number is displayed sometimes. But sometimes it works!

Thank again A_C!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TwinsenVR4:
Does this work for the Sprint Mogul? Or has it not been tested yet?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Ok, so a person who has slide.exe autostarting should be concerned with this option?

I currently do not have slide.exe autostarting. When I press the power button to turn my device on, I dont have slide.exe starting.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
Not working patch

A_C, with the new patch it seems not to be working on my Hermes. When a call comes in, it wakes up and gives the slider screen to unlock, but no screen to accept the call. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtclark49:
A_C

Is there a way to add City information into the caller ID stuff....?

Great App

Thanks,

Mike
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
A_C,

Thanks for continuing development of S2U! This is one of the best, most useful apps I have installed!

I have one issue I wanted to report...when I used v1.17, the Owner Information screen would display first on wake up, and after it was clicked, S2U would display/activate. Now, with v1.183 patch 2, if "Show Owner Information" is active, S2U appears to load briefly and then unload. I use MagicButton to show active programs in the task bar, and can see the S2U icon for a moment, but it disappears.

I am using a Samsung i730 with WM5: with the following settings:

Autostart=1

CallerID=1

CloseApp=0

DPad=1

IdleStart=1

NoPowerSuspend=0

OffLCD=15

SafeMode=0

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

p.s. If I disable the show Owner information, S2U works perfectly. I'd just like to be able to leave Owner Information Active in case the phone is lost.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sivart321:
I honestly love the slide2unlock program, but again, I would really love to see a standalone caller ID app just as you have it now! I assume it could be alot simpler and would use much less memory (one reason why I cannot use S2U right now...leaving it in the background really kills the speed).

Any chance of seperating the Caller ID app? It really is such a nice, slick and smooth caller ID. Even the skinned inesoft CID doesnt compare to the little animation and overall look you've created here!

:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o2crazy:
Slider and caller ID

Hi guys,

anyone experience this?

when i never use e device, i'll just power off the device and it goes into sleep mode. when i press power on, the device is on and slide to lock is invoke.

But the problem is, the slider, will not move back to the original position if i never slide all the way to unlock.

What is the cause of this?

Another problem of mine is:

for numbers in my contact list, the callID of slide2unlock is shown.

But the problem i have is, phone numbers that are not in my contact, is not shown when a call comes in. Basically, the screen jus shows the accept and deny call icons.

any advise?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] koukifc3s:
With the latest patch (ver2) my caller ID is no longer working.

When I receive a call, all I see is the std unlock screen or the today screen if the phone is unlocked. I dont see the std caller ID either.

A soft reset didnt solve the issue.

A complete reinstall of the app also didnt fix it. I am now using .182 and it works fine. Can I have a link to the .183 ver1 until the issue is fixed?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eiswritsat:
me and my friends wizard have both had major problm side the install of the new patch, after about 2 hrs the phone locks up and a soft reset is needed. and other programs dont wanna open. i like the programs but feel that it should have been tested better or something.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
Same problem here. Version 1 attached.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
How about just setting 'Autostart = 0' to disable 'S2U' from launching automatically upon device waking up?

I thought this patch has some problem, thus patch 2?

A_C

I've discovered what led to iLock closes by itself. I use 'Haali' reader to read Chinese storybooks. If i off the phone while in the reader and then click on 'OK' button on my Trinity to wake up the device, it will switch to 'Today' screen and close iLock at the same time. Why I'm sure cos' when I click on iLock after that, it will be activated. If i don't, if i off the phone, S2U will not be launched when the device is awake.

Not sure whether you will be able to do something about this.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ParaTr00per:
I tried on Toshiba G900, got scrambled screen. Anyone else tried it on Toshiba G900 with sucess?

v1.184 patch

Hey guys,

Sorry for the unstability issue raised by the last 2 patches. The problem is the mainly caused by iLock. You may re d/l the whole patch at the 1st post or only the iLock (iLock-1.184-patch.zip) at this post.

Sometimes, I'm just too rush & excited to post a new version for you guys to know. But it doesn't mean I didn't test it, as the errors may come out after a long run. FYI, sometimes, I've dialed almost a hundred call to test a function in a night. Anyway, thank you for your comments & supports.

@freeyayo50

I see your point now. Now, when "Autostart" is disable, iLock will run in "SafeMode" automatically...

@mtclark49

There is no City Info yet. Besides, I'm afraid if one field is added, how to cater the others?

@dfkimbro

I'm afraid that is the limitation of SLIDE. When the PIN LOCK is running, sometimes, there is no way let SLIDE running without any errors. Both programs seems to fight for the TOPMOST window, and the only way is to let SLIDE quit by itself. That will happen even with the old verion.

@sivart321

Even with the screen lock function removed, the stand alone CallerID version will consume about 4-5M RAM. And there is no plan to separate them.

@o2crazy

I guess you're using Atom Life. Your reported slider problem is a device specific problem that is no solution yet.

@Sian

Will write that note in the coming release, thanks.

@Aslher

Will look into it, thanks.

@TwinsenVR4

Just give it a try.

For others, your reported issues should be fixed by the latest patch, pls try & let me know. THANKS. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Clasimodo:
A_C, If there is one person in this world that has no reason at all to apologize, it is you. We are all very grateful for your amazing work. Thank you.

B.t.w. I'm sorry to inform you that the call screen still not appears on my Hermes with the new version if it is an unknown number. If it is known it works flawless.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
Thank you for the quick response A_C. I will have to live without the Owner Info, because I can't live with out S2U! Another coffee heading your way! :cool:

Not activating when on phone screen WM5

Hi A_C,

My compliments on your work. I just entered the world of WM from palm and am finding your program VERY useful and fun to have on my XV6700 phone.

One thing that your program allows me to do that the built-in lock program will not is listen to music and audio books without the unit going into standby and without buttons causing problems while in my holster. The default lock program still allows some buttons to be pushed while locked and when unlocked, anarchy insues as queued button presses take action..

Thank You!!

I have noticed a problem with the latest version that is not present in 181, when the phone screen is active in 181, slide will activate as expected. In the latest release, it will not. If I hit the power button, the tap it again, I am returned to the phone screen. I put 181 back on for now to prevent dialing out by mistake.

how do you install the update patches, every time I try i keep getting a error message saying

"there is no application associated with slide2unlock1.83-patch2". run the application first then open this file from within the application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CheezWiz:
You must have 1.8 installed already, then you just decompress the updates available in either rar or zip format to your compters hard drive, then copy ilock and slide over to your portable device overwriting the files already there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chg1282002:
did u install S2U v1.18 ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
tdubz: You probably moved the entire decompressed folder rather than the patched files, or you need to unzip the patch and move the patched files. Before moving the new files though you need to first run iLock.exe to shut it and Slide2Unlock off, and then move the files from inside the slide2unlock1.83-patch2 folder into Program Files\Slide2Unlock\ - the two files you need to move are ilock.exe and slide.exe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tdubz:
ok i figured it out i out the files in the wrong folder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lazarous:
Great App - Thank You!

Is it possible tho to get it to display the caller ID name and NOT the picture?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
I experience the same problem Sian....I often fall asleep with Haali Reader still running and like this morning, it's behaviour with S2U interferes with all my scheduled notifications and alarms. This morning my alarm simply did not go off although I've noticed that with S2U, sometimes the alarms go off but no sound is heard through S2U. My workaround for this is to simply make sure I close Haali and any other apps before engaging S2U....for now anyway!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I've tried the latest patch 1.184. At the moment, the problem seems to be resolved. Will continue to observe. :)

Thanks A_C!
