i have all of the following folders in program files\s2u2\gfx

\clock\

\clockA\

\clockH\

\clockHS\

if i select \clock under settings, then i get a big space where clock would be, but nothing is seen.

if i select \clockA then i get the markers for the oclock but not hour or minute hands.

it use to work fine before hard reset and reinstallation.

is there a requirement i am missing? i have sprint mogul with wm6
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
never mind, got it to work.

clock format was set to format 3 which was blank.

for htc weather, i fixed by looking at the faqs in page 1 of this post.

I'm still having a problem with s2u2 not turning off my screen on incoming calls (this is on a Sprint Touch). This function seems to be very inconsistent from version to version. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sadlybrokeboy:
Apologies - I mis-read your initial post, sorry - I thought the original question was that you were too having issues with the BBC template too - it'll teach me to scan read!

My question is this - when I use the BBC template, the weather is correct but the temperatures don't represent what's actually there. I assume I need to set up a UserWeather in the registry.....

Can anyone advise?

Is anyone experiencing a lag on wake up if there is a memory card inserted? I'm not talking about the app being installed on the memory card, but just a 5 second delay if the phone wakes up and there is an SD card in the phone.

I am using hermes with k's 1.30b rom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zakkosekk:
Does this mean you have the right icons in s2u2 compared to HTC? What about temperature?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] psnikos:
Problem!

Problem! When the S2U2 - from publication 0.98- they is installed it does not the alarm in SPB TIME.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Yes I am. I also have to deal with lockups with S2U2 when an SD card is present.

I think I may have got S2U2 to stop locking up but there is definitely a link between this behaviour and the use of an SD card even when there are NO apps being loaded up from the card. Does not happen when S2U2 is not installed; however I really like this app and am persevering with it.

As I have said, with a lot of tweaking, I may have solved the lockups with the SD card. When the device does lock up ejecting the SD card gets things going again.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bassibabes:
Sorry, I meant that I actually had an icon and it was the correct one relating to the weather at that moment out of the window. However, it hasn't changed from the rain icon all day even though my HTC weather icon has changed :-( also the temperature is still a degree wrong :-(

Another problem I have is that if the phone is locked using this program and I get a text and accidently press any keys on the phone, then this activates the phone as normal! I know there have been other posts on this and I think the answer is that this allows for you to read the text and then dismiss or reply as you would normally do. However, this theory doesn't really apply if you don't know or aren't expecting a text and the phone's just in your bag/pocket. I was really surpised to get the phone out earlier and find that it was on the today page with various applications open when I had thought that it was locked. Is there any way to take this function off? I would rather get the phone out when I want and find I have ten texts/missed calls than answer or activate the phone as normal - kinda defeats the object of the phone being locked doesn't it? (Sorry, not being sarcastic)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
I haven't tried it personally, but I am betting it has to do with the phone going all out to register the new card being inserted. I have several programs that take a little vacation when I pop out the card and put it back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spinedoc:
You can completely disable this in your notifications settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brian18:
Do i have to uninstall the previous version before I install the newest version?

If yes, is there any method that I can save my previous settings to the next setup of S2U2?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PoisnBGood:
Hmm, I don't think I am getting my exact environment down.

Hermes + K's 1.30b + s2u2:

NO APPS on SD card, only some files (music, pictures, videos). There is NO reason the card should be accessed. All the gfx files and app files of s2u2 are on the MAIN memory.

Only interesting about my setup is that my memory card is renamed to "My Documents" and the main memory "My Documents" has been deleted so that every program thinks the "My Documents" is the one on the SD card.

Now, with SD card already in, no apps running, I push the power button. The phone goes blank. Turn it on, and the phone comes out of wake up. 5 second lag, then s2u2 boots up.

Without SD card in. Same thing, except it only takes less than a second for s2u2 to boot.

From these experiments, it seems that s2u2 lags when there is a SD card inserted, even if there is no reason for it to be read. So either there is something weird that s2u2 does (fixable), or the rom takes a few seconds to read the card at each startup (maybe not fixable).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lozzd:
Yeah, well that's probably even worse than having apps on the card that need to initialise, since a lot of apps when you turn on the phone probably read stuff from your My Documents folder. Cunning trick, but not one that I'd want to play... What happens when your card stops reading properly? or your phone doesn't boot because it can't find "my documents"? I would keep both, and then just set up apps that use a lot of data to put it on the storage card, like photos. Or you could try it to see if it solves your problem at least.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaY87:
I have a problem with the app. If you install it and don't run any part of it and just do a soft reset you always get a error message from ilock. If you run the s2u2 app once and then do a soft reset everything is fine. Is there a way to fix it? Else great app :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
i've got a problem with internet explorer mobile and S2U2.. when the ie mobile is active or in background S2U2 didn't work. Only when i close the ie mobile app, then S2U2 works.

Standing ovation for you, A_C!!!

i'm so stupid.. stupid.. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pp18:
@A_C

seems the problem of "not focused after resuming from suspend" is not an isolated problem on mine. it may be common to Touch Duals. do you think the suggested solution from SMYKUL worth a try?

thanks again for the great app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DCHigley:
I was not saying that there were apps trying to get to it or that S2U2 was installed there. The OS and the hardware itself detects that a card has been inserted. Sorta like when you plug in a USB device into your desktop. Takes time to detect, initialize, driver to drive and all the other things that happen in the background. I do not know this for certian, but hardware normally has a fairly high priority to an OS and I am fairly sure that WM is the same. So, stuffing in a new piece of harware would mean stuffing in a new high priority task, which would override a standard program execution priority.

Try something like playing a movie from your phone and in the middle stuff the card in. Bet it skips, jumps, and locks for a few seconds before playing right again.

If you set your temperature uinits to Farenheit in spbWeather, do you get the Centigrade values in S2U2?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schettj:
UserWeather - not updating?

This may be by design - this is what I am seeing (with current and previous versions) in S2U2 when using "UserWeather"

So, this works ok except for two cases

1) changes to the UserWeather key do not always cause the S2U2 display to update - hard to reproduce but happens every night - in the morning I will turn on the mogul (6800.HTC Titian) and the S2U2 screen will show the weather data from when I shut it off the previous night - after a slide, the next time the lock screen is displayed it has the current weather data.

2) sometimes it does not show the icon I tell it to show - for example W|29|60|40 will instead display the icon 28.png - the difference being a sun with clouds vs a moon with clouds. I notice it will do this at say 7pm, even if I force-reload S2U2. But at 9pm, it will show the 29.png icon (ie, the moon) - sadly it gets dark early still here ;)

The combined effect is to make it very difficult for a User weather script to display the current conditions instead of the forecast for the day.

Is it possible, if you've enabled UserWeather, to just take the exact values in the registry and use them with no post-processing, and maybe update the weather display every time (or if its changed?) S2U2 draws the lock screen - perhaps right after updating the clock?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] polopo:

Great many thanks for S2U2, but i have question. Is it possible to show actual profil on S2U2 display? I use phonealarm.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nursemm05:
yes he did. The answer to MOST questions lie in the first several posts of this thread. Read the readme.txt and/or the FAQs. Your answer lies there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schettj:
Interesting finding #1... S2U2 has an incomplete set of Weather Panel Icons.

Go to http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2441&pid=30068&mode=threaded&show=&st=&

Link for full stardock set of weather icons is at bottom:

http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1489

That set includes the missing 33.png, among many others :D - unzip those into your gfx\weather folder overwriting what's there, if you're using UserWeather and don't have a full weather icon set. Seems to make S2U2 much happier - still not sure if/when the weather display is updated, will try and nail down some examples for A_C to test.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PoisnBGood:
I see, but again I think you misunderstood me. I am testing this without a card. Then putting in a card, letting the phone detect it, and then turning the phone off to test s2u2 boot up time at wakeup.

I am not putting the card in and seeing how long it takes to boot up. I am testing how long it takes to boot up with a card in, and without a card in.

So it should be irrelevant of the phone to be detecting anything. Unless the phone tries to detect a card whenever it wakes up, which might be true, but I kind of doubt it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cwest06:
I love this app. is there a way that when you slide it open it actually close out and keep just the iLock2.exe running. I really like the GIF's but when you slide to open i dont want to go into the task manager to close it out I want it to close out when I slide it open and keep the Ilock.exe running. thanks a million

Hi,

I`m Having trouble getting S2u2 to work on an WM5 HTC Charmer (T-Mobile Compact II).

It installs fine from the Cab and runs ok if you select S2U2 from programs.

However, if you press the power button to turn it off when you turn it back S2U2 appears on the screen for just a second, then my normal today screen appears and all buttons are active.

It is as if today is pushing it to the background, It is set to lock when device wakes up, I`ve tried Safemode and the direct draw settings but it still does not work.

Anyone have any Ideas

Many Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schettj:
Ok, yeah, it's doing something funky with UserWeather

Set this string in the UserWeather key, when its set to display UserWeather:

W|29|60|50

Check the display... in the middle of the day, mine is showing a sun with some clouds - "partly cloudy (day)"

Now view the 29.png icon... hey wait, that there is a moon with some clouds - "partly cloudy (night)"

The icon S2U2 is showing is actually 28.png

So, I take it it is doing some tweaking of what I pass it, to "correct" for errors? I don't want it to change anything, I just want it to take the data I give it and display it...

Bonus points if you can add an optional trailing string that you display after the temps, so

W|29|60|50|Currently 55

Would display the icon

60/50 Currently 55

On the S2U2 screen... I don't NEED that, but it would be really good if it just took whatever was passed into UserWeather and displayed it without processing it.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trjons:
I've tried searching this thread but did anyone ever figure out a way to make S2U2 update the HTC weather? It uses the first weather it obtains and never updates the temperature.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] geekyhawkes:
Im having problems with s2u2 always being the focus on my hermes when i get a call or power it up from standby. Im running wm6 with .98 s2u2 and htc home. On about 80% of powerups s2u2 appears but goes almost instantly, if you bring up the running programs s2u2 is running and can be switched to (activeated) and all works fine. The sucess rate is lower if you happen to have an sms or turn your phone on during the htc home changing the time.

Is there a way we can change s2u2 (ie in coding or settings) so that it ALWAYS has the focus and is the top level program being displayed?

Thanks (top program but frustrating when it doesnt work)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ferrex:
Integrating with S2U2

I've written an application (see this topic) for the HTC Dual Touch (that may or may not work on other phones, but probably only on HTC sliders) that handles a few events on the slide being closed or opened.

Because I was asked I've added invoking S2U2 on slide close (by calling \program files\s2u2\s2u2.exe). Now I'd like to be able to do the inverse and close S2U2 on slide open.

I can't close the process I've kept the handle for because that raises an exception. I'm guessing/hoping invoking iLock2 with the correct arguments will work - but the arguments in the documentation don't seem to suit my purpose.

Can someone tell me please if there's an undocumented argument for iLock2 that would close S2U2 if invoked?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lozzd:
Ok, that's great, so now both temperatures are completely wrong, instead of just one. Any ideas now? :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Hi:

You just install it like any other program.

Download .cab file from fist post.

Use WinRar to unzip it on PC

Transfer to phone through active sync

Once on phone, click on it to install.

Then you just look for it under Programs/s2u2

Issue with S2U2 0.98 with a HTC Touhc Elf

Hi

I think i have an issue with this magnific soft.

i have an HTC elf (P3450 = Touch) with the V3d ROM from Seyia team.

After installing S2U2 i launch it => it goes to the S2U2 screen with the slide bar => perfect:)

I can slide the bar and the htc goes to the Today screen of my htc.:p

BUT if after launching S2U2 i turn of the screen of my htc pressing the power on buttton (above the htc), when i press again this button to go back normally to the S2U2 screen with the slide bar it goes directly to the today screeb of the htc without slinding the bar AND the S2U2 soft is still runnning.:(

Do you know this issue?:confused:

Do you have an option to come back after power on the screen directly to the S2U2 screen and not the main today screen of the htc touch?

Regards

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] davehutch:
What you need to do is use the Farenheit template in spbWeather, then select Centigrade as your units...spb will convert it for you.

S2U2 will then use the Centigrade reading as well.

This fix certainly worked in the past and works fine for me too. Let me know how you get on

Humble Newbie Asking for Help with S2U2

As will be obvious from this request, I am not a developer nor do I have those skills ... and I very much appreciate that you allow folks of my type to post here. I am trying to find an explanation in layman's terms of what each of the options in S2U2 does ... basically, an 'S2U2 for Dummies'. I have an AT&T Tilt and want to be able to use the center of the D-pad to wake up the screen (which would then display S2U2) rather than fumbling around to find the tiny power button on the side of the phone.

If this has all been explained somewhere already, please forgive me and point me in the right direction. I have read the FAQ's in A_C's post of 19-12-2007 but cannot find the answer to my question there ... I'm not saying the answer's not there ... just that I'm not proficient enough to recognize it if it is!

Thank you!

Just a thought, it would be nice to have a scrolling text on the screen of the song being currently played on the device... If possible, even additional tagged information...

Problems with TomTom

First thanks for the cool programm!

I'm now using 0.98 and the last days I recognized, when i'am navigating with tomtom and i get a call and i answer it either with the button on phone or with my bluetooth-headset it kills tomtom. also after a softreset with enough free memory!

I think with an older version of S2U2 i dont have this problem!

any suggestions?

End key in holster

This is a greaaaaat!!! application.

One think I was serching for was the ability to keep the buttons including end and talk locked when on a call. The problem I have is that when the phone is in the holster and I'm talking on the headset and lean over, it always hits the end button and drops the call.

Anyone with this problem found a good solution? Would it be possible to have this program lock the phone until I press the power button or something?

Wallpaper Problem

Guys,

Been through the thread and the help pages at the front but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I may have missed it, given that this thread is 102 pages long, for which I apologise.

Anyway I have a load of wallpaper sat in a directory on my SD card, cut to the right size for portrait. Problem is every time I set S2U2 to rotate wallpapers from that directory I get a blank screen. Have done a couple of days research; however not sure what I am doing wrong.

Pointing me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

WB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lozzd:
This is what I did.

I just checked again and it's working now!

And I think I know why. BBC stops updating *todays* weather after a certain time. The 1.3 template ignores todays weather if this is the case, and so SPB just displays the last weather condition, and updates the rest of the weeks weather. So even though after I made the change I re-downloaded the data, it ignored today, so was still displaying the incorrect value on the celsius template. Now the day passed, I've got fresh data from the _F template, and the numbers are as expected.

Anyway. Thanks! Silly fix but works beautifully :) Thank you.
