installation on a non WWE device

After the install on a non WWE device (a Dutch Trinity) all files are stored in the 'Programmabestanden' directory and not in 'Program files' . The application path is set correctly in the registry, however it does not find the GFX directory. If I move the complete programm directory to 'Program files' , make the necessary changes in the registry and the ilock.lnk in the startup driectory, it finds the GFX directory. It is also sufficent to create a slide2unlock directory underneath a 'program files' folder and copy the GFX directory.

It seems you have one hardcoded directory still in your software.

--------------------------------------

Sorry, I just found the setting in the registry. I should have read the readme.txt better :o

Sorry for newbie question.

Hi guys,

I installed the latest version of slide 2 unlock on my mogul, however,

the built in caller id and call program still come up.

I ran the configuration file,

but it's still not working properly. How do I change that.

I am not afraid to make registry changes if I know which ones and where to find them. This thread is really long and I am sorry if I missed the instructions somewhere. If one of you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I have spb phone suite installed and the HTC Kaiser 6 tab today screen.

Thanks,

Michael

HTC Advantage

I can not get slide2 to work. It installs but just does not work. Any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] porkch0p:
why when leave it on black screen for say like 30 mins and then i press the power button again, the SLide2unlock won't show up. it just goes directly to my TODAY screen. But when i put it on standby and then press the power button again in a short period of time, it works.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lhmwzy:
This version have a problem.

When a call come in,whatever accept or refuse,the screen go to today screen.

previous version does not have this problem,return to unlock screen.

Can A_C slove this in the next version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] porkch0p:
^^ thats a problem too and also one more thing is that when someone call me it shows the number but it doesn't show the name of that person who is calling
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi

It's all in the 'Readme' file that comes with the installation.

battery drain is still in this version not as fast but still a bit of a problem

other bug

A_C:

Hi, I'll report a bug ,It is same as the versions before, when I received a MMS,the S2U shows there are a sms and a mms unread,and if I delete the mms directly(I have not open to read it,delete it in notice menu),the unread sms icon is disappeared,but the mms is still shown.

Problem reverting from sleep mode

I think this is the best app I ever seen in my little experience in the PPC world but I have a little problem; I've tried many configuration but I cannot come out from this: when S2U starts, first it dim the screen then after a while, it blanks the screen. And this is exactly what I want. But when I press the power button it don't remains on the S2U wallapaper, but it goes directrly on the today screen.

This is my registry :

My System settings are:

Power down = disable

Backlight off after 30sec with battery and 3min. when powerd.

The S2u version is 1.216 + 5 September hotfix

My phone is an HTC Elf Italian ROM

What I don't really know is: can I disable the system power setting to let them be managed completely by S2U ?

Many thanks for answers and sorry for this long post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paulo Marques:
Hello again. I had already tried that... (not using PocketZenPhone, but the default settings program for notifications).

If PocketCM is closed (and I mean really closed, and not on the background) when I receive a sms everything as usual. (S2U still locking device), but if PocketCM is running it goes unblocked...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I'm loving this version so far, I think this is the first version I have trusted for 24/7 use so far (I can't be missing a lot of calls, so testing was always done in off hours for me).

Thanks A_C!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
Sorry... I know nothing about PocketCM... I am still in the stone ages with the pre-installed CM... :)

This is the only suggestion I have though, so maybe someone else in here can help. I have seen several mention using PocketCM, so I am sure that they would be more help than I am with this one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
Just a tip... :)

Hello All,

Just figured out a relatively interesting thing... If you use Today Themes (and not the use image as background) then you can have s2u automagically use the same background! :)

Just set the image paths to the background file that the Today Screen uses, \Windows\tdywater.gif.

If you do this with an automatic changer or the like, it may lag a little bit because s2u needs to be restarted to pick up the new background, but hey... Such as life! :)

Just my little accomplishment of the day...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samp27:
Ive been using this software for a week or so and have read almost every post regarding the weather.

I have SPBWeather installed, and I've set ShowWeather to 1. restarted it and everything but i simply get n/a icon. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
very nice tip. Thanks.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
Please come back, SPB Weather!

Thanks DCHigley's - nice tip above indeed!!

Also, does anyone know what 'Do not suspend (NoSuspendMode)' in the configurator does? :confused:

samp27, I'm having the same problem. I've been using 1.19 for a while and the weather displayed fine, then I went to a later version only to be greeted by a severe battery drain so I'm back on 1.19 now but using the new Configurator which I love :D. The weather started to revert to 'N/A' as soon as I upgraded and even despite downgrading, it has still not returned. :confused:

I've tried everything I can think of including soft-resets, updating and re-installing SPBWeather, trying other cities etc but nothing is getting S2U's weather display off 'N/A'.

I'm using a Dopod D810 with the official WM6 on the '3' network here in Australia.

I'm hoping someone out there can offer us some advice to get this working again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
I have been getting slightly worse battery life with v1.216 than i did with v1.19. I think 1.19 had the best battery life so far.

Anyway of increasing the battery life a bit A_C?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramontrotman:
need a lil help

okay guys help me out. I've been trying to get s2u to stop locking the screen when the backlight goes off. for example...i want it where the backlight turns off in 10 seconds, then at 30 seconds s2u kicks in. This is really annoying me when trying to read emails or surf....when ever the backlight goes off i have to slide again. I dont want to make my backlight 30 seconds because of battery life. any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mshnayde:
One more bug.

On the HTC Mogul.

If you receive a message or any other notification, than it bypasses the lock

and opens the notification.

Once you close or dismiss the message the slide2unlock comes on.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
I had this problem since the early versions of S2U... The resolution that I'm using is to disable "Display message on screen" for all notifications... I have VC "speaking" all of my texts and emails so there is no need for the screen notification for me.

On the PocketCM issue, the SMSintercept.dll bypasses the S2U... so far I only know 2 ways to "fix" that... delete that dll file to stop PocketCM from intercepting text messages or instead of minimizing PocketCM, just close the app completely.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_ding:
Hmm, I re-started (hard-reset) my PDA, re-installed most of my software (this time, without PCM) and my CallerID still only works periodically.

(If works)

From machine off, it will show CallerID with answer button as bottom.

(If not work)

It will skip slide2lock screen and go directly to today screen, and it will open 2 applications (CommManager, Calendar).

I have to manually press (Phone) button twice to answer it.

FYI:

I have HTC Home, Home customizer, HTC dialer, slide2unlock, resco explorer, flexwallet, tcpmp, pocketrar3.6 installed.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Change the setting in the registry - OffLCD to deactivate the feature, so that S2U won't activate auto when your screen is dimmed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Meteo:
I hope this program lives long and prospers.

I hate it when companies get TOO protective about their ideas. Coming as far as threatening to sue xda-developers? Thats pretty pitiful. Shame on you Apple. You guys are worse than the **** that I flushed down the toilet a few days ago.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] highdood:
truncation of date...

@Morbius

Yo Morbius,

I have the same prob as you...but using a Flame (VGA screen)...

I played ard wif settings and finally found this to work :)

"closeApp" -> set to 1

hope this works for you ....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
25. 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.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Viros527:
I'm not sure if this has been posted (since I don't have time to search through 151 pages on this software), but I found a great way to help with the memory hogging this program does.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/A_C/Slide2Unlock

Find CloseApp and change its value to 1.

Soft reset.

This doesn't seem to affect usability of the program at all, but seems to free about 5 megs when unlocked. When I would unlock beforehand after a soft reset, I'd have about 15-16 megs free. Now, I'm averaging 20+. Same as I was before installing Slide2Unlock. Hopefully this helps some of the people who've complained about the ram usage of this great software. If A_C reads this, I hope that this is enabled by default in future versions, because it greatly increases usability of the device while this is installed.

Edit: Okay, found this earlier in the thread, and that having it off helps with the caller ID. Though as nice as the caller ID is, I'd rather just let WM do that its way and save a few megs. Personal preference I guess.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
This is a good idea to at least try. Granted, I only have one device to try it on, but with mine it is just to slow when a call comes in with this setting. Under normal (for lack of better term) conditions, it is great and works out just fine. The second or two wait for it to reload and give me the slide is not an issue in the least. When a call comes in though, it gets pretty busy in my phone and it takes for ever to load, deal with the call, find the contact, etc...

As I said, it is a good thing to try though. My advice would be to try it while your sitting at the kitchen table though... :)

Viros527, 5 mb is the program running in the background providing a quicker load up time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jayc7176:
When answering/declining a call, the keys not response or need to be press several times

Try these steps:

1. stop iLock

2. edit the registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock, add a new DWORD with name "CallerIDKeyDelay" & value 60 (decimal) or greater.

3. start iLock & SLIDE

4. try any answer/decline call action again. If still not work, try to increase the value of "CallerIDKeyDelay" & restart iLock.

The "CallerIDKeyDelay" will increase the latency of each key press in S2U/S2A. The unit is in millisecond, so 60 ~ 100 is recommened.

---::All this works!!! ::--- !!

"A_C" Thanks for SUCH AN AMAZING APP !! YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB DOING THIS I M LOOKING FORWARD FOR MANY MORE WONDERS TO COME FROM YOU ! YOU ARE THE BEST !

I have one Request you know the Button "End call + Answer" if you could please make it "Send to Voicemail " i 'd appriciate it SooOo much!! i tried to make one ..lets say i didnt do a good job on it .. if its not possible i understand .

thanks again for everything u have done!:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelet:
I have a WM6 6800 and for some reason slide to unlock ins't coming back on after a soft reset. I have to run ilock twice to shut it off and then start it back up for it to work.

iLock is in the startup folder. Thanks for any help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] masr1979:
A_C first off thanks for the great app..... I can't believe the iphone inspired something good LOL anywho, could you possibly make an OEM package? I've seen a few but since nobody has edited the app to look for the files in the \Windows directory duplicates have to be created with an initflash file. If not possible I'll simply install after flashing, so it's not like it will be the end of the world or anything :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mi|enko:
HELP!!! :-)

I'm having a bit of a problem with S2U. I have everything set to lock at 60 seconds, but I have an issue where S2U kicks in after about 5-7. So, if I'm reading something, or browsing the web, I have to kill iLock and S2U, so that I don't have to deal with it. Any ideas?

A Bug about call party

A_C

I have discovered a bug for this good application. I found that after using the call party, the Idlestart command would function well. Normally, the application will be started automatically after the back light was off. However, after using the call party, the application will not start automatically even the back light is off.

Hope you can fix this bug in the coming version.

Cheers,

Penny

Memory Drain

A_C,

I am getting a major memory drain. I have narrowed it down to Lock or Slide. I can drop form 18K - 20K to 5-6K I have stopped all other boot items accept this to and ran each one individually to try and narrow it down. I am ok that the program reservs 5mb to stay open for quick use, but should it drain me??

Let me know.

Startup/Shutdown iLock

Hello,

I have a profile manager (PZP) that will run a program when a profile/mode is selected. This is a handy feature and one I would like to integrate with S2U...

Because of the way notifications pop-up when the display is set, I have a mode (or 3) that will not display the message. They just make noise and vibrate, different volumes, etc... But no pop-up...

When in "S2U Profiles" I want to run iLock so that it starts, even if it is running currently, pretty much overriding the "run again to shut down" feature. When not in "S2U Profiles", I want to shut it down regardless of its current state of execution.

Are there command line switches that I can do this with? Preferably without the shutdown notification also since it will be semi-automated... :)

v1.219 hot fix

Just u/l another hot fix v1.219, pls get it at the 1st post. It mainly fixed the data reconnection problem & some minor issues.

For your queries/questions, they're mostly already answered in the 1st post & the readme file. I'm really really very tired to retype those answers.

For some features or functions that reported not work. It's really out of my ability now. I've already tried my best to make this app most compatible. Pls try your best as well to test it. If still not, pls disable that feature/function. Again, it's stated in the readme on how to disable a particular feature/function.

Thank you for your support & Good Luck! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barakafritt:
Thanks

Well,

doesn't it sound like it's time to thank A_C so much for his huge work on this useful and glamorous app ? :)

1.219 is working for me so far, I have some N/A on weather forecast that I didn't have before 1.20 but I'm gonna try to find a solution with different settings.

A_C, du you plan relasing the source code soon ?

Thanks again for your work, if I paypal you, can you swear that you're gonna have a good time for having a rest and drinking a double beer ?

Cheers and thanks again for your availability.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mi|enko:
New issue. :-) And it could just be something on my end (isn't that always the disclaimer?). Anyway, I have a T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald), and most of the time I use the top power button to turn off the lcd when not in use. This kicks in slide2unlock. The problem I'm seeing is, sometimes, when I turn it back on, S2U's there, but then the topbar flashes, and it just closes. I don't have to actually slide or anything. Could this possibly be an incompatibility with Wisbar Advanced 3? That seems like the only thing different from what I normally install. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LlamaV3:
I'm also intested in this (purely for the .net implementation that I'm involved in), but in the mean time, have you tried compiling with the latest ppl encoder, does it make any difference because they brag about reduced overheads.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
Command Line Switches...

Hello... :)

I think I am one of the ones the rtfm was mentioned for because there is a reference to them in the first message... I did! I did! :D

The -refresh isn't anything that applies to my question so I'll skip that one... The -nomsg is a good one and applies, but can it be used with another command line argument or is iLock only going to use the first one? The -slide is not exactly what I was asking for but good to know about, so I will try to explain the switch I was asking about a little better...

My profile switcher has the ability to run a program/shortcut when I select a profile. I have multiple profiles for S2U and multiple ones for not S2U depending on my circumstances. Mostly, the difference is Loud, Low and Vibrate for both S2U and not S2U. The S2U has the display notifications turned off and the not S2U has them turned on. This is the biggest difference because with the notifications turned on, the buttons become active and I don't want that while holstered, but while on my desk, it is nice to not have to worry about the slide.

Anyway...

If I go to S2U Vibrate profile, I can have it run iLock and everything starts up and acts as desired. No notifications, no sound and iLock running to make the slide work.

If I then change to S2U Loud (To relocate outside for a smoke), then the profile cannot run iLock again or it will be shut off and the slide doesn't come up and all that.

So, what I am asking is if there is a switch something like -

iLock -on (For run or keep running if it already is)

iLock -off (For shuting it down if it is running or "not start running" if not)

I know it sounds kind of stupid to have a switch to run a program and tell it to shut off, but I only have one command line per profile and cannot detect if something else is running or not so this is my only idea on how to do this...

It is not a flaw by any means because this is a magnificent program. Just something I am trying to do is all... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
We should be thanking you for your support! You go way out of your way to make this program good and to make everyone happy. With just this last release you went further than any of the big commercial apps that I have ever heard of.

caller ID

For some reason I still have an issue with my caller ID. When a call comes in many times the name of the called & the pic don't show, even though they are saved in my contacts. The number of the caller will appear but no name or pic. I'm wondering if I don't have the caller ID program that the phone came with disabled properly. I think I disabled it but I don't know if I did it right. Can anyone post how to properly shut down the preinstalled caller ID that comes with the PPC-6800 running WM6? I also am not sure what to do with the latest update since it's an exe. & not a cab... I am running Slide2unlock 1.21.

And most of all... THANK YOU AC!!!
