Widget ?

Hi, first thanks for that good piece of software.

I use the Slide2Unlock version 1.184 (but with the old "fish" wallpaper...) and I'm happy with it !

I just would like to know if it is possible to use something like a widget in place of the wallpaper, now or in future patch ? I think about a clock (with hands) or something like that...

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krazy_ivan:
I agree with Nic - a nice clock widget would be totally awesome!

A_C - thanks for making our world a little cooler!

safemode?!!

Hi A_C,

Currently i'm using the 1.184 patch.

The entries in my registry are:

ACBlankScreen 0x0

ACIdleStart 0x0

ACOffLCD 0x0

Autostart 0x1

BlankOnTalk 0x0

BlankScreen 0x0

CallerID 0x0

CloseApp 0x0

DpadOn 0x0

IdleStart 0x0

OffLCD 0xF

ShowAppointment 0x0

ShowWeather 0x0

Speed 0x3

VGAfix 0x0

A_C, can you do me a favour? Give a explanation of what each entry is for. Then I can set it to my own requirements rather than keep posting.

This software rocks... but i realise it does kinda drain the battery, but who cares!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sleonard:
These are explained in the read me files. Main one is in the Slide install folder and updates are in the patches.

CallerID and Simple PIN Lock

One request I would have if you can find a way to Bring Caller ID IN Front of the Windows Mobile Default Unlock PIN Screen as I cant see it otherwise. Have to disable Caller ID because of this. My Enterprise Exchange Requires a Sumple PIN setup to auto lock the device every 15 min.

* here you might offer a Reg setting to turn this off and on depending on user prefference.

Also it appears that after the device is a sleep and Lock (per above) it The screen will not come on, have to reset.. Pusing Camera Button and END only worked on one occation to bring it out. This occured even with NoSuspendMode reg setting.

I have just setup SafeMode as well. This remains to be seen if it helps regarding the screen not coming on..

and one last Request, I use Spb Traveler for weather.. Maybe you can add that to the Weather feature data stream portion..

Thanks and Great App.. I can seem to find a better Caller ID (af far as that part of your app) out there for WM6 .

PS : Device is T-MO MDA Vario flashed with WM6.

Thanks again.

Hi

what do you mean by "NoPowerSuspend to 1"?

did you mean "BlankScreen" to 1?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Reako10:
I just stumbled onto this forumn, as well as this app. And through a little experimentation when patch 1.184 is installed the Caller ID loses ability to be displayed on the today screen again. 1.182 fixed this problem, and it works indeed, but when installing the new patch, the problem re appears.

Any info on this??

EEEKKK!

All these requests for added features! I say nothing new till it is stable... My Opinion of course....

Since the issue I was having is a requested feature, I decided to load .184 up last night. Today slide locked up twice on my phone. Both events, the time on slide's clock was frozen to earlier in the day. I was able to get it to go away by sliding out my keyboard. Takes 25 seconds or so, then I am able to use the phone.

As for notifications, A_C I am guessing that you would have to add some routines to handle the various notifications the same way you did caller ID?

Again, I would like to see a 100% stable release before new features are even considered. Is this based on the open source code I see floating around? If so, are you willing to open it up A_C or are you enjoying all the work we are giving you?

I do have one feature request, that A_C take a vacation and relax so his grey matter can recharge!!:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Timb320:
Other the the Spb Traveller (this being a feature request) and agree would be nice, but not at the expense of stability. In my post I recommend that callerID be show as TOPMOST , ON TOP of the PIN keypad when device is locked, this is not a feature request more then a must if I dont want to miss a caller because its being covered up by the PIN keypad. adding a registry option to enable/disable this ability is just keeping anyone in mind that might not prefer CallerID to be show ONTOP of the PIN KeyPad.

Just to be clear.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Now I am having issues with the 1.184 patch. Yesterday it was working fine, now it's not. While slide.exe is running in the foreground and I receive a call and answer it...it than switches to the phone app instead of staying on the slide.exe screen.

Also, from this Slide2Unlock app, I am getting a bunch of extra notifications in my notifications queue under Time Based notifications. I've attached 2 files showing them.

They start like this:

\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT
When: Run at time
Saturday, September 08, 2007 - 7:05:47 PM

The 1st file shows 5 of them. They came after installing Slide2Unlock.

The second file shows an additional 5 notifications after testing this app for about 45 minutes.

These files were captured yesterday night with Memmaid. A_C, do you know what these notifications are? If so, can I delete them?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dfkimbro:
I love the new caller ID!

I have one lockup to report.

Today the phone rang while it was docked with my PC and on AC power. The caller's number was shown but not the name on the S2u caller ID screen, even though the name is in my phone book.

Upon removal from the dock, the phone locked up on the S2U caller ID screen, I couldn't answer the call, and none of the buttons would respond. I had to soft reset. Should having the phone docked (on AC power) affect the way the caller ID works?

I use ActiveSync 4.5 and the phone is a Samsung i730. I have S2U v1.184 installed.

-Duncan
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levelbest:
Great app - seems more stable now than in the past.

Do have a question though. Seems to use a lot of memory - which when run on the PPC6800 brings problems. Is it just me or when loaded, does slide2unlock suck up 5mb of main memory?

When I close it, I have 19MB and change - but when run I am down to 14MB.

Anything that can be done to optomize memory useage? Wouldn't be an issue if they put more main memory in this thing to begin with...

I seem to have to soft reset once or twice a day since installation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kodiakcb:
Same here with the Treo 750. It worked fine with WM5, I upgraded to WM6 and it crashes loading. Ilock stays running but slide crashes. I like this feature so much I downgraded back to WM5 and tested it again, worked. I found WM5 to unstable (I kept losing the ringer) so upgraded to WM6 again and tried reinstalling as the only app. Same results. So here I sit with a functional Treo 750 with a slightly buggy WM6 hoping for S2U to be fixed.

Lots of thanx (and a little bowing) to the great A_C.

BTW Is the source available. I am now wanting to get into programming mobile software and I have an idea for an app that could really use this kind input. I would like to take apart the source to see how it ticks. Thanx again.

KC :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Yea, I actually prefer for it to go back to slide because Slide stays open in the background even though you're not on it. Also, if you have the phone in your pocket or holster and you pick up the phone via bluetooth, if the phone doesn't lock again, it may dial a number or do something else.

Another update v1.19

Hey Guys,

Just before my vacation, here it is another update v1.19... I've been playing with the CallerID for days. There are a lot of fine tunings made, hope they will solve the problems you met so far. But still I'm sure it's not perfect.

Besides, 2 new functions added: animated wallpaper & user input weather info. Please read the 1st post for details. Now the tools are here, we need some script & artwork gurus to spread their wings.

Finally, in short, the wallpaper path & filename do support space in between them. I've tested & it works.

iLock does insert a notification event into the notification database, but only one (\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\iLock) is inserted.

For the source code, after 19 major revisions, SLIDE only has 10% similar code as the 1st open source. But I do not want to release the source yet.

Again, please read the readme first for any questions or problems you want to ask. These are the most repeated words I've been typed in this forum. But there is one word I always love to type - THANKS. :)

I run S2U (form 1.174 through 1.19 I've installed all releases) on an HTC Touch Italian. I don't have SPBWeather installed so I've put in the registry 2 for WeatherPanel.

The registry key is "ShowWeather = 2" . I've tried 3 also.

Nothing appears on my iLock screen.

HTC Home for Weather?

Is there a way to use the weather from the HTC Home Plugin? If so that would be awesome!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
Awesome app A_C !!!

Trying to use user weather, I'm writing the UserWeather registry setting from my weather mortscript. I don't have spb/pw/wp, but I do have png weather images/icons from http://www.stardock.com/weather.asp

How can I make this work with Slide? Do I need to put the images into a path that spb/pw/wp would typically use so slide can find?

Even better would be one more registry entry in slide2unlock.... path to weather icons (with support for png!).

Thanks!!!!!

Sorry to hear that THEY want to shut you down. Why dont you contact the IP Lawyer where you got the original PPL program, Tomasz Rychlicki. Seems like he knows a thing or two about how the system works, specially with the likes of Apple.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gfxMaven:
Hi all. Dunno if this'll help but I found that using 7Zip to extract the files worked when WinRAR gave me errors.

A_C, sorry to hear of your development problems. Have you considered continuing development and maintaining a free site with just a picture update and version history (but keeping no links onsite)..and alerting your loyal fanbase by simply posting a rapidshare or sendspace download link here? No laws against that. You could even email the updates to an anonymous member to upload for you (I'd do it...I'm all the way in Africa right now..don't think Apple'll come after me here :) ).

Just a thought.

On another note, had two suggestions: a cab file incorporating the new patch for n00bs. Second, pulling weather info from the default Spb MobileShell weather app.

Kudos on an excellent program.

A_C, this program is awesome! I was going to post a problem with the VM indicator - my carrier (TMO) doesn't report the actual #of VMs, just the presence of a new VM. On the Slide2Unlock screen, it showed the VM indicator with a -1.

But it seems you've fixed it in the new patch... so no problems!

It's really a shame to see the project forced into desolation. :(

Thanks a ton... Now off to your PayPal site. Enjoy the coffee!!

Possible example to set this.topmost = true (though this may be a C# example): http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=64486&SiteID=1

Nother Better example from URL: http://peterfoot.net/default,date,2004-12-09.aspx

Create a Top-Most form

The following code can be used to force your form to the top of the z-order. Use this functionality with care since it's bad practice to hog the topmost position which could obscure other important functionality.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

//get handle

this.Capture = true;

IntPtr hwnd = OpenNETCF.Win32.Win32Window.GetCapture();

this.Capture = false;

//set foreground

OpenNETCF.Win32.Win32Window.SetWindowPos(hwnd, Win32Window.SetWindowPosZOrder.HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, Win32Window.SetWindowPosFlags.SWP_NOMOVE | Win32Window.SetWindowPosFlags.SWP_NOSIZE | Win32Window.SetWindowPosFlags.SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

}

Note that this code cannot be placed in the form constructor, since the native form has yet to be created so a valid window handle won't be returned. Here the code is placed into the Form_Load method.

In .NETCF 2.0 you can set the TopMost property of your form which removes the need for any of this interop (Thanks Daniel Moth for correcting this).

Suggestion: alternative unblocking method

Congratulations for the program!

Have a nice holiday.

I thought this would be easy and useful.

The slider is really cool but...

Would it be possible to implement an alternative unblocking procedure, i.e. with a sequence of hard buttons? (say crossed: soft-left - ok - soft-right - windows menu) (this sequence would be difficult to be pressed by chance)

This would be similar to the 1 - 5 - 9 of some cell phones.

I think this would be useful when operating the phone one-handed, like in (my) Artemis.

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
That was the problem I had. It would switch to the phone app and not go back to slide.exe. Also, I thought when answering the phone when slide.exe is running that it would not switch to the phone app and stay on slide.exe. Slide than brings up a call timer while you are in the call.

Im going to be testing out the new version anyway...v1.19.
