smaller fonts and adjustable tab height

Hi A_C, great apps there and its working fine on the universal at 196 icon size. Would be even greater if it can work at 128 icon size for real VGA mode.

Is there anyway to make the fonts adjustable or smaller? And also is there anyway to make the tabs slightly thinner as in landscape mode, it literally covers the whole screen.

Thanks.

A_C, u r always the best. v0.53 runs smoothly on my HTC mogul. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] finthamoussu:
0.53

According to the new feature in 0.53 (ShowAlarm), It would be great that, as other features, format would be configurable too.

For the example on first post "6:00a (in 14 hours 21 minutes)"

2 reg values more like:

AlarmFormat: "H:mmt" for the "6:00a" part as default

AlarmRemainingFormat: "'(in 'H' hours 'm' minutes)'" for the "(in 14 hours 21 minutes)" part as default

Cheers

Slide2Answer/Caller ID

I think it take sometime to implement this function but is there any reason that s2u2 stay in front? If an call is incoming s2u2 goes to back.

Can you make an option that s2u2 stays always in front?

I mean that i musst slide bevor i can get an incoming call.

ok I just downloaded the CAB for version .53 to my memory card in the programs folder. Sure enough when I try to open it I get the same message. Its not a zip file, dunno. Am I putting it in the wrong location? Do I need to download the first version then add all the updated version CABS to that folder? Very strange...

Just thought I'd report that my VZW Treo700wx is getting an annoying bug... when I let the OffLCD turn off the screen, the keyboard backlight stays on.

Thank you for fixing the Treo bug with flight mode... you rock

A_C lovin your work (again), just a thought, but would there be a simple way to impliment a wallpaper randomiser?

if you had a reg key like wallpaperID:3 it would randomly pic out of the files called wallpaper1.jpg wallpaper2.jpg and wallpaper3.jpg

It's just cos i can't decide what my favorite wallpaper is!!!!

ohh, works almost flawless on G900 WVGA screen, swipe is "just" smooth, previous version was slightly stuttery, and the same for the fading to black onto the today screen.

I dont have windows notification messages popup now, they only sound and make my led flash, dont need to with this! I like the idea of tasks notifications aswell, we do heavily use them at work!

If you can intergrate S2U2 with the pin screen that would be my ultimate, as work regs state we have to have our devices "secure"!

Always waiting for your next update!!

Show Alarm.....

Great idea about the alarm thing (wink)! I noticed it uses the standard WM6 alarm. Any way to implement SPB Time's alarm? I use this as my standard alarm and not the built in one. Just wondering. Keep on developing !!

still problem with changing orientation to landscape

after changing back to normal orientation the slider stays in position as if in landscape orientation. The background picture changes back to the flower.:confused:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] le_cactus:
For me that problem was solved. I did have to manualy add a ShowAlarm=0 key to not display the reminder icon in a weird place. But I confess I just copied the new files without installing the cab.

Besides all that, I've been using S2U and now S2U2 since the beginning and never expressed how wonderful I think this program is. S2U was a good program, but S2U2 is just fabioulus! Realy man, thank you for a program I can't do without.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Thanks A_C,

This "10 seconds after LDC is off" sounds good :cool: (maybe you can let the user choose that time).

Anyway my device didn't go to sleep neither after that 10 seconds (I tried to wait 1 minute). But I found out the cause. It happens when OffLCD < 10.

This may be due to that new setting. However, I set OffLCD to 10 and it is working good.

Another very little "bug" I found is that I get the alarm icon in the middle, under the date (with no text) even if I have no alarms set. It doesn't appear the first time I launch S2U2 (after a soft-reset or after closing iLock2 and running it again), but only after the program updates the time (the next minute).

Here is a screenshot...

Thanks for your effort!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
Hi A_C, thanks again for your suggestion. I tried it again with NoPowerSuspend set to 0, and it didn't seem to work in v0.52. I then upgraded to v0.53 and did many soft-resets in between uninstalling and installing. Everything seems to be back to normal now. Must have been a one-time glitch as I haven't seen any others experiencing battery problems past v0.52.

Thanks again!

I also have a suggestion for any of the upcoming builds, that is, to put (the option for) a numerical percentage of battery power remaining next to (or replacing) the battery icon. It could be config'd thru the registry by something like ShowBattPercentage = 0/1. Just my small suggestion as i prefer to look at remaining percentage for my power.

Also saw a post by someone recommending a wallpaper randomizer using "wallpaper1.jpg; wallpaper2.jpg; etc.", and I'd agree that would be a cool feature too. Anyways, everything you've done so far is stellar, and these are only suggestions to help bring this app to absolute perfection.

Hopefully the CallerID function isn't too far away, but the least everyone can do is be patient for your great work...

P.S - really like the fade animation while the batt is charging...Nice touch!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lwclam:
the alarm icon is the new function of 0.53

you can disable this by ShowAlarm=0 :)

@PES13

Does your device have "gx.dll" under the Windows folder?

@watchdog

Pls note the ShowAlarm only shows system alarm info.

@dodo-dk

I don't think the problem is with Spb Backup. Besides, I'm also using Spb Backup to backup my device weekly.

@DCHigley

Yes.

@BeyondtheTech

The graphic files under GFX are opened to be modified.

And you may try to set OffLCD smaller (minimum is 5) to minimize the chances of the LCD being touched.

@ahkow007

I'm afraid the RAM usage (on VGA or higher device) will be pumped up further...

@finthamoussu

Actually, the Alarm time format follows the AppointmentTimeFormat.

@itesla

Maybe soft-reset then uninstall the old version first.

@Atze001

There is no way to stay S2U2 in front of the system caller id, until S2U2 has its own Caller ID.

@xd1936

Could other Treo users confirm your OffLCD bug?

@mastelos

Do you have any music player app running in the background?

@Marshall07

That "no alarm" bug could be fixed. Meanwhile the temp solution is to set ShowAlarm to 0. Thanks.

For Others questions, pls refer to the Readme.

Thank you all for your comments.

SPB Backup is 100% the Problem on my Artemis with S2U2. I have many Prgrams installed, but when i installed SPB Backup and do a Softreset i have the Problems.

When i do a Hardreset and Install only S2u2 it Works perfect. After Installing SPB Backup I Have the Problems too.

With my HTC Prophet (XDA Neo) it works with SPB Backup but nt with HTC Artemis. I can produce the error every Time when I installed SPB Backup.

I have these Programs installed:

SPB Weather

SPB Pocket Plus 4

SPB Folder

Navigon 6

Jbed

FinPocket 2

Agile Messenger

AvantGo

BatteryStatus

SkTools

Resco Explorer

Resco PictureViewer

CorePlayer

GoogleMaps

Saman SMS Delivery Fix

PhonePad

S2U2

This works perfect - now installing SPB Backup - doing a Softreset and i have the Problems.

I do a Hardreset, install only S2u2 - it Works. After Installing SPB Backup and do a Softreset it don´t work.

So, it´s only SPB Backup that the Problem is!

On Artemis from a friend the same, with newer ROM - the same. Only when i have Install SPB Backup i have Problems. On my Older HTC Prophet it works with SPB Backup!

It´s a Problem between XDA Orbit German - SPB Backup (1.6.2) and S2U2 0.5X.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dodo-dk:
I have found the exactly Problem!!!

Hi A_C. I´m so happy, i have found the exactly Problem and have a Solution - for your FAQ:

What I have Do:

1.) I have do on my XDA Orbit a Hardreset

2.) I have Installed SKTracker. This Programm can show me changes in the Registry and have many other Features.

3.) I have make a device scan with SKTracker.

4.) I have installed SPB Backup

5.) I have maked a second Device scan

6.) Now SKTracker show me the result

7.) SPB Backup change very much. But only 2 Registry Keys/Values make the Problem.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"

Both Values (Standart = "1") was changed to "1E" HEX - this ist 30 dec. 30 Seconds - exactly my Problem, after 30 Seconds standby, my Device can wake Up by pressing any Button.

Resolution:

I have changed back both Vales to "1" and now it works with SPB Backup on my Artemis.

Question:

But why do SPB Backup change this?

It´s necessary for SPB Backup?

Change SPB Backup this only at XDA Orbit? When not, why makes only the XDA Orbit Problems?

A_C, can you show what values you have? I´m now at work and i can´t see the Values from XDA Neo.

Now i must test SPB Backup. i don´t know that ist working without the changes.

Now i can produce the Problem without SPB Backup, when i have only installed S2U2 and i change the Values to "1E" the problem comes.

Bye, Dodo

Edit:

The Problems come only when S2U2 ist activated and the values is "1E". When S2U2 is deactivated the standby works with "1E"

Edit2:

I have make a backup and Restore with the Values"1" without Problems.

S2U2 and phoneAlarm issue

Hello, I see to have a small problem with S2U2 and phoneAlarm. More specifically, I have set phoneAlarm to change phone profiles at night, so as to deactivate the phone overnight, and reactivate it again in the morning. I have noticed that the phone led is blinking like the phone is active at a time that it shouldn't..... I am currently testing if the issue lies only on the led display, in other words if phoneAlarm automatically activates and deactivates correctly but the led for some reason stay as it is.......

Any other experiencing the same problem as me?

I have an ipaq rw6815 with wm5.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Thanks, I already disabled it and I don't have that icon anymore. :)

BTW, have you tried to reproduce the "Phone will not go in standby when OffLCD is less than 10" bug?

As I sayed, if I set OffLCD to 7 or 9,

the device will NOT go on standby after the backlight is turned off for 10 seconds

(the new feature you implemented). I guess there is some Timer conflict in the code. :confused:

However, with OffLCD = 10 the problem doesn't occour and I'm satisfied with that timeout.

Idea

AC:

First, I must say that this is a great program. I always wanted to use the first one but never could due to the large memory requirements. Not a problem with this new version! Can't wait till the caller id feature gets done as that was the coolest feature of S2U.

I did have one idea for you. Currently S2U2 uses one png file for the clock. I was looking at customizing that clock and realized that if S2U2 used multiple png files for the clock (similar to HTC Home) that we could use any of the many clocks (http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc/preview/clock.html) that are already made for HTC Home with S2U2! This may not be practical and not work at all but the sizes of the digits seemed pretty close. Anyway just a thought.

Thanks for all your work on this awesome program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] generalriden:
yeah hope we can do this A_C
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
Had something similar happen to me. Removed the alarm that was being shown and next time S2U2 came up, it showed the little alarm bell with no text but the same time remaining in () as was last shown. Looks like something just didn't get updated, because after a soft reset, even with ShowAlarm set to 1 (which I didn't change) no alarm info is showing in S2U2, which is as it should be.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
Alternative clock display

I've noticed that once the slide is pushed all the way to the right, just before S2U2 disappears, that the little lock icon in the middle of the top bar changes to the current time. What about a registry key to switch between the large time display to this version to free up some screen real estate?

With the alarm times, all day appointments and upcoming appointments being displayed, things are getting a bit crowded. This would allow users more customization options...

Looking forward to any new features you decide to add! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
multi-frame wallpaper?

Back when I tried out the previous incarnation of S2U, I recall mention of multi frame wallpaper so that S2U could be used as a screen saver or slide show type of application. Does S2U2 also support this functionality and, if so, how do I enable/use it? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mooncraterx:
Confirmed problem

Hello A C,

First off I would like to say AWESOME APP. I have confirmed the wake device problem others have been having on my HTC mogul. When the screen blanks and you wake up the device its ok. When the device goes to sleep either pushing the button or not when it wakes up slide 2 lock isn't showing. I do use wisbar advance 3.0 so it could be a problem with that, however I did notice that slider is running in my tasks across the top and if i click on it the screen shows. Maybe it just needs a bring to front command? or something like that? It seems like it is running properly but the today takes priority for the front window.

Thanks again for a great app!

Sincerely
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mooncraterx:
Oh forgot to mention....

I think I found another problem. Not sure what caused it, but I have (one) text message that is new displayed on my s2u screen. I think I caused this problem by marking the text msg as read from the menu on my today screen as I read it from there only.

Thanks again.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mooncraterx:
Hey A C

I am using the latest. I installed the file from your first post, then i stopped ilock copied over the new executable you posted and started ilock again. I thought that it might fix the problem but it doesn't :( If you can do a bring window to front command that should resolve the issue i think. I am not a coder or anything though. so *shrug*

I re-read my post about text message notification on s2u. I wasn't quite clear. It may not be the text message icon as I just saw a sms icon for the unread text message I saw. It is the envelope in a chat bubble. Is that an alarm or system notification?

If so it is stuck there due to me marking a text as read from the today screen menu at the bottom. (awesome improvement over the 6700 I might add...)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kreigz:
Even after the registry change I still had the lockup. It only occurs after the phone is off in standy and it initiates a data connection ... but doesn't lock up every time.

I have since tried changing the NoPowerSuspend key to 1 and have not yet experienced any lockups while in Suspend and having a data connection initiated.

BTW, A_C, what are the drawbacks to having the OS control the Suspend operations? Also, should the new hotfix to iLock fix the problem?

Hi A_C,

I like havin' those updates almost daily! Thanx!

* Since version 0.53 I'm having trouble when going into landscape mode or back. The screen blanks and only after a touch at the screen the landscape/portrait mode appears. Not hard to overcome - but still a little b*g.

* I've read a suggestion for random wallpaper; it would be nice for a feature in the future :D

* Could you implement a registry key so I can change the word "Tomorrow" which is displayed with multiple appointments? Also a registry key where I can set for one appointmont or more to display would be great.

Last but not least... keep up the damn good work! I love this tool like I love myself! :p

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kreigz:
A_C,

Would you elaborate on the "backround power interuption problem"? I'm trying to determine whether it might be a fix for my problem of not being able to bring my phone out of standby while it has initiated a data connection.

At the moment, I've made the reg change so S2U2 allows the OS to handle. That seems to be working ... well, at least for one or two data connection starts while in stanby.

Lastly, what is the reasoning behind having S2U2 control the power funtionality, as opposed to the OS?

pocketmusic problem

Hi A_C:

I found that when I just turn off the LCD(blank the screen) but not the power of my device, S2U2 will be activated, too. When I'm using pocketmusic, trying to turn off just the display in order to save some battery, but S2U2 was activated and after 15s, my device is turned off. This is not happened on Slide2Unlock.
