ah ok..

no need to rage mate. and don't stop developing it that doesn't do anyone good.

i didn't personally like the message coming up ontop on the screen so i removed it.

you already have your credits in the readme file.

it's not like i even distributed it or removed some sort of protection you had for a paid product.

if it means that much to you i'll delete it.

you can't speak for everyone. there would be people out there who go to show off to their friends that they have an iphone on their ppc, and would probably be annoyed by the program credits messages coming up like trial software has.

go buy an iphone? how does that make sense.. the whole reason for this slider app is to give you the iphone on the ppc, so that you don't need an iphone.

if the label was across the front windscreen of the car, or over the top of the number plate, that would be an accurate analogy. because it can be considered to ruin part of the functionality you're trying to get out with the car.

i made two iphone slider's from scratch myself posted in the xda-dev forums.

both open source and didn't put any credits on the screen at all, so my users could benefit.

they know i programmed it cos there is a readme file, and they downloaded it from my thread. there was no need to put a message with my name ontop the app.

why is it so bad that i wanted the same thing i gave to everyone else, in another app that does the same thing?

asked politely if it was ok too..

sorry to any people i offended.

i'm deleting it now anyway as A_C has responded that he wasn't ok with it (could have said it without the yelling).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keishou:
@chrismrulz: If you've created your own slider app, then why are you bothering AC to make changes/suggestions to his app?? I can't believe as a software developer that you would even dismantle someone elses work

@AC: Great job on the new implementations! Working great on my Titan.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C, don't be upset. I also tried chrismrulz's slider for one minunte and then unstalled it. I don't want to be mean to him here. He did put some efforts to develope something and showed it to us. I repsect that. But the truth is: His is not as good as yours.

Please please keep your great work!! You are one of the most talented people I have even seen.

I will send more coffee tonight for my appreciation. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
well, as a developer, i did mine in open source. anyone was free to make any changes to it without asking.. and they did.

i made a tiny little a change to his for my ppc, then asked about it if it was ok, and got yelled at for it..

very true.

although it's much improved now (dunno if you tried an older version), it's still never going to be as good as A_C's.

it's intended to be more iphone-like (that's the whole point anyway..), but the graphics part is bad performance in .net and it's only had about 10 days developing it.

the only reason i started on it in the first place though was because A_C's original one wasn't compatible with my two PPC's (x50v and hx4700).

and wanted other people with those PPCs to be able to be able to atleast have a working one.

it's great that this new one works though..

btw @ A_C: hope you don't get angry and ignore the bugs i reported.

after all i was trying to help you and other people that might want those fixes.

You mean: fuel efficient? Worth every penny?:D

You mean: big and ugly? Using up to much energy?

:D

Just kidding...

But I myself drive a Kia and it's very fuel- and cost efficient!

So I had to do something about this... ;)

On topic:

I love Slide 2 Unlock...

And if the developer wants to use a credit message, he should...

It's not up to us to decide for hime...

On the other hand, we have no problem at all to modify any ROM, deleting stuff and adding our own, so we can put our names in/on it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I probably used a wrong analogy. :(

I just want to say A_C provided us an app with high quality.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
One word.....WOW!!!!!

Kudos A_C coffee on it's way!!! I love this app, and as it gets closer to having caller ID again, I am loving it even more!!! Please keep developing, I am telling all my friends about it, and you are getting quite a following here at my office!!!!

Thanks again....can't wait for that Caller ID, your a genius!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
P.S.

Did I miss a post, or is the weather indicator in an upcomming version? I haven't had a chance to install this version yet, and I just realized I don't see any mention of it!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi A_C

Here's the file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Regarding amending someone else works, I think it really depends on the developer, and what type of 'licence' he is releasing his work under. Is it an open source which anyone can take and modify? If yes, then I think it's ok. If not, then I think others should keep the application in it's original form.

There are various type of 'licence' one can release his/her works under. So, think we need to be aware of it. It would be helpful if the developer/owner can also clarify and mention it clearly. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
At a minimum, one should ask the author before making any changes on the software...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Yes, that, I do agree with you. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
well you shouldn't *release* any modified works without asking.

even though that's the exact opposite case at xda-dev when it comes to totally modified commercial roms, being released for free by third-party devs.

I asked if he was ok with it. and now that he's not i'm deleting it.

It's not like removing a simple credit box that comes up, revealed the heavens to me.

Matter of fact for all he knows i haven't even done what i said. I haven't even posted proof.

The only harm done was that he had to call me an idiot and told everyone he was going to discontinue working on it so that they would get angry at me for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amsatnetg:
Why don't you two brainiacs work together on this project since you both seem to be very knowledgable programmers, instead of fighting over who is going to get credit for it. I am sure you could both bring something to the table that is useful. Can't we all just get along?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Excellent

Dear A_C

i have been following your S2U since the first release

i have Eten Glofiish M700 with WM6

i think the shift in programming that you did to S2U2 made it faster & smaller

v0.5 runs much better than v0.3 and without any bug at all for me

minimal usage of memory & normal battery lif so far

also, now the main thing is that this is the first version that works in landscape mode for me (v0.3 was supposed to but did not work on my phone)

the notification icons are great... thanks

i agree the the weather status is not that important & i may just cause more harm than good (size, memory, & bugs)

removing the credits by chrismrulz was not a smart move (even to speak about) & i am glad it was not worse by releasing it .. the credits scroll away anyway & its not like they are there all the time

by the way i tried his free version but i removed it, S2U2 is much better

Thanks again & keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 0_typh00n_0:
chirsmrulez did nothing wrong. he was nice an A_C call him an idiot for no reason.

nobody wants to have A_C name popping up on the iphone. can you send me your exe file in pm please. the fac AC put his name on and trying to pretect it shows you he just wants credit instead of giving them what other people wants.

chrismrulez exe is much like an iphone an more compatible but A_C is faster an not as bad bugs :(

wish they work together to make one great exe!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
i've already deleted it.

if you want it you'll have to convince A_C.

well i already asked him if i could work on his old slider a while ago to make it compatible with my device and others, but he didn't want to share the source. so i had to make a new one myself.

that was when it was actually tzy wen's source that he had modified to make 'slide2unlock 1'.

now that he's re-written that himself in a new one and already called me an idiot, it looks like it's even further away from ever happening.

love to. never meant to harm him in any way.

wouldn't have even mentioned it if i knew he'd be so defensive about it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m0nti13:
Why is everone talking about the iPhone? It seems to me that the only connection between S2U and the iPhone is that the iPhone made this "concept" popular.

I don't really believe that most or even many people are using this app to show off their Iphone emulation. To think that the purpose of this app is to emulate an iPhone is naive at best. The pupose is clear and simple, this app is mostly used as a great way to lock and unlock your phone to prevent unwanted key presses.

Just because Ford made the concept of the assembly line popular, or Edison put a metal filliment in a vacuum and ran electricity through it, doesn't mean that others can't use that concept to make a servicable product and not just a copy of the origonal. Nissan isn't a Ford emulator because it uses and assembly line in production of their cars and a steering wheel to menuver them... S2U isn't an iPhone emulator becasue it uses a similar concept to unlock the phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C stated clearly before, if you do not like this app just simply go away. It's A_C' app, he can do whatever he wants.

Modifying other's app and distributing it without original author's permission is not good. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrismrulz:
if that's all the concept was, why does it have the same icons, same alpha-blended images etc.. ?

if all it was needed for was the functionality to unlock it by sliding, why was the interface and graphics purposely made to look close to the iphone?

take a look around just on xda-dev..

there's so many iphone-on-pockpc apps, and they're all made to imitate the iphone in looks and functionality.

some of them are just looks and don't even give much functionality.

the iphone keyboard app's aren't much different to other 'big keyboard' apps out there, and are worse in some cases.

people would be using the iphone keyboard apps for almost nothing but looks.

the reason for all these apps is the idea that you can have an iphone (the big expensive toy from apple that everyone wants) with your pocketpc.

lastly, ask yourself this, if some unpopular brand company came out with a pda that had an app where you slide to unlock it after being suspended,

do you think any dev's would be as motivated for porting it to the ppc?

the users wouldn't be too thrilled about it either.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] whisper:
Just spend 10 minutes reading the full thread - allright from page 3 then...

I was wondering... is this still the thread for the S2U2 0.5 release? Or are we havin' the endless discussion if the credits should or shouldn't be visible?

Everybody has their own, rightfull, opinion/idea about it - let's stop this argument and help A_C with bug reports, coffee and compliments.

Well, just spend 5 minutes to write an off topic in this thread - d*mn, isn't this what I was talking about :rolleyes:

A_C; your doing a great job - keep on developing S2U2 as you want it to be. You've got a lot off "hungry" fans checking every day for a new version!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
HERE HERE!!!!!!! Well put....I was thinking of a way to word this sentiment as well, but you hit it!!! I love this app, and A_C is doing great work, I agree....bugs, compliments and lots of coffee!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Ok, let's get something straight, A_C is developing this app, IMO, he has the right to add his name anywhere he wants, why?, because he is giving us the oportunity to use something that he could easily develop for himself, him being the only one using it, I'm using it, because I suck when it comes to PPC programming.

Chris, I don't have nothing against you, and I think that what you've done is really nice (Developing an app and sharing the source code so anyone can modify it), but, we're all different, in my case I would be really pissed if someone takes apart one of my apps and removes my logo and/or name from it, I would've added a lot of angry emoticons. :p

The point is, I know how frustrating that is, that's why I don't understand why some guys want him to remove his name, I remember that the same thing happened with Slide2Unlock.

Besides, If you want to show it to somebody, do it, the Developed by A_C is there when you start the app for the first time, then it slides out.

On more thing, I think most of us already moved on the iPhone thing, but the idea of the slider is really cool and useful to lock the device.

Peace!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] generalriden:
Peace NOT WAR;)

A_C...great release again. Thanks a lot for such a great program. Keep it up.

TO ALL,

lets just focus to help A_C to develop the program, report the bug or post a good idea here without harming any person. Lets make this thread informative and helpful rather than showing childish emotion. Peace to everyone & God Bless!

I have a couple of problems with 0.5.

One, ilock seems to interfere with PushEffect on my device (Treo). Normally, a SMS triggers outlook to check email...however, with ilock enabled, the SMS alarm is triggered (which normally it is not) so outlook never checks email.

Two, I don't seem to get any audible notifications/alarms when I get a SMS or Email when ilock is enabled. They do show up on the ilock screen, but I get no sound that there is something waiting for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Messel:
A-C, first thank you for this amazing piece of software. I think it's very good, and you have done a great job on it. I've never tried the old version, but this new one is perfect for my needs anyway.

I want to tell you about a problem I have with 0.5, that I didn't have in 0.3 (at least I think so):

When I press the power button to go to standby, then any hard button will wake it up again into the S2U2 screen (This is how I want it to be). If the phone is idle for 30 sec (I have this set in the backlight settings of the phone) then nothing but the power button will bring me back into the S2U2 screen. The "OffLCD=15" setting in S2U2 does not seem to have any impact on my device.

If it makes sense anyone, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Here are my settings:

ACBlankScreen=0

ACIdleStart=0

ACOffLCD=0

AppointmentTimeFormat=h':'mmt

Autostart=1

BlankOnTalk=0

BlankScreen=1

DateFormat=dddd', 'd MMMM

DpadOn=0

IdleStart=1

NoPowerSuspend=0

OffLCD=15

SafeMode=0

ShowAppointment=0

ShowTask=1

Thank you for any help, and thanks again A_C for this app. So far I really like it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I tested S2U2 v0.5 on HTC Mogul (wm6). I haven't found any bugs yet. The speed at landscape mode is 100 times faster than s2u.

A_C: Please keep your great work. We are looking forward to testing callID, weather icon and S2A. :D

comon guys, add some 5 star votes!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] generalriden:
About the PROGRAM A_C:

As of now, after testing SMS notification, calls and registry changes..i did not found any bugs or error in your new release. I like the landscape also, very nice and quick. WORKING PERFECTLY on my ATOM PURE ( this is as of today while testing the program)

THANKS Again A_C! Your the man!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fritzi:
Error:UserNotification has too much records

Hi A_C,

frst of all my compliments for all the efforts. I was very happy up to Ver 0.3 and was curious how 0.5 would work.

Unfortunately it doesn´t start however, and I always get. the Errors message "Error:UserNotification has too much records"

What is the reason for that?

I have confirmed all my notifications, and there is no one left unconfirmed.

I tried to find something like "shownotifications" in the Registry and disable it, but there is nothing similar.

May be it interfers with rltoday or the wisbar advance2?

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated, since I realy want to experience 0.5.

Regards

fritzi

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlindman:
Great update.....

A.C.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...great update!!! I hope you decide to add the weather again, but understand if that is not possible.

I was wondering if it might be possible to port information about the state of the next alarm. You know are alarms set and what time. Maybe you could even see if you can choose what alarms you want to monitor, like spb time or ptravel alarm. I think this would make the screen saver more like an alarm clock....cool for travelling.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] generalriden:
try to uninstall suspected program that may have conflick with this new version. maybe it has some conflict. mine is running smoothly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fritzi:
Thanks for your hint, but I have no clue which application could influence s2u2.

Any Ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
*Does a dance*

A_C: Loving this update version. I only recently switched up from the old Slide2Unlock and I'm already enjoying it! No problems on the landscape mode to report :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fritzi:
Hi raymondu999,

how did you solve this/your problem. I think I have the same issue, but no solution.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] corranq:
Fritzi: it could well be one of the many defects of Windows Mobile. The notifications buffer tends to overfill to the point that you can no longer see let alone hear your alarms for appointments or anything else. One solution is to simply purge all of the notifications with a program such as MemMaid. Windows Mobile then resets your notifications with only the upcoming ones rather than historic ones.

The other possibility is that you have too many appointments for the next day and that it's trying to show them all? Not sure about this option though...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlindman:
Alarm Woes...

A.C.

Hate to find it, but I'm having a problem with alarms in SPB Time. They show up on screen when they are supposed to, but there is no sound when S2U2 is running. When I hit the snooze or cancel button in SPB Time, then the sound starts......but that kind of defeats the reason for the alarm in the first place. Any ideas how I can get around this???

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Medic1013:
Great Job A_C

New version is running smoothly on WM6 Mogul. Thanks alot for your efforts A_C I honestly can say this is my favorite app it did away with accidental button pressing while reaching into my pocket.

Coffee being sent your way!!!!!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vukile:
This app could make a great shell override. What if you could merge it with an interface like PCM and scroll through functions like a rolladex after you activate the touch screen with the slider. Heck, the iPhone like icons would go well with that too. Theres a big empty space in the middle.:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mr Groch:
Hmm.. On my VGA WM6 device, S2U2 eats almost 3MB of memory!!

Before first time running s2u2: 22,30MB free RAM

After first time running s2u2: 19,66MB free RAM

After closing iLock2 (after running s2u2): 22,35MB free RAM

Those 3MB of memory is important for me, as you can see,

I don't hve many memory, and sometimes it is hard to start

navigation apps...

PLS, can you add CloseApp option back? This app is starting fast

enought for me (fisrt time start), so I would manage my memory better :)

PS. Wallpaper size is 70KB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] darufryda5:
got it on my apache 6700 and it is working GREAT! i was amazed at how quickly it changes from portrait to landscape...

i love the new features..

i was a lil confused when i saw version 0.5 out...i didnt know what happened to 4...lol...

uses less than 1mb of ram...so that is a great plus..

A_C - Having the same problem encountered with V0.3 (which you fixed). Slider will not work manually or when using the Dpad. Using Atom Life WM6. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] finthamoussu:
Problem on Landscape on WVGA device

Hi AC, this version is GREAT!!!

It also solves the problem I have reported on v0.3 with generated bitmaps.

It works OK on portrait on my WVGA (480 * 800) but in landscape (800 * 480), there is a problem with the the transparent gray you paint over the wallpaper.

It looks like you are assuming that que screen resolution is VGA (640 * 480) instead for reading the exact device resolution as you are doing it to position other things like, time, battery meter, slider...

I think this is easy to fix.

Keep working, 10 points application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C: just sent a coffee to thank you for your great app. can't wait for callID and S2A. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redz1234:
in 0.3 when i got a reminder notification or an incoming call it would unlock all buttons and my pocket would go crazy pressing buttons. was this resolved in this version? i saw the new options but no clue what they are used for. any info would help.

thanks again a_c

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gobmonster:
THIS IS SOOO AWESOME!

this is officially a MUST HAVE for the ppc, the s2u1 wasnt good, not to knock the efforts, but the ram hunger drove me up the wall, low and behold, i see that s2u has been rewritten, but i wasnt a beleiver, so i waited and kept an eye on it, i tried v.3 and was very happy, and .5, geez, KILLER APP!

brilliant coding my friend, it works like a charm and has even ironed out the kinks on .3, what i lately noticed that instead of the screen simply going dim (backlight off on mogul), its now set so when it dims, s2u2 automatically cuts on, and i have it to cut the backlight off within 5 seconds of that, so finally and officially, my mogul can cut off the backlight, lock the keys, and still be able to take calls with no delay and have the alarm go off....... i m so happy :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poorlyduck:
this is awsome, works great in my Mogul, I changed the background and the clock, is there anyway I can center the clock to the left? I added the glow to the numbers but it messes up the transparency, is there anyway to setup it up as a transparent png background instead of grey? thank you very much for this outstanding app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] redz1234:
how did you change the clock?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fritzi:
Thank you so much. MemMaid really helped. It is actually quite a cool tool, that helped to optimise my phone even further.

Thanks
