out of memory messages

Hi

Unfortunately the latest cab causes continuous Out of Memory crashes when trying to use slider. Have set response high and works fine, but then after been left idle and try to 'unlock', slider is not responsive and does not activate fully and then after a couple of seconds, get the OutOfMemory crash 'Oops' message.

Have reverted back to stable version. Although not WVGA, does not crash my Xperia.

{edit} OutOfRange conflict happens when trying to answer a call using stable version.

Have reduced refresh rate for all but slider to try and prevent this, alas no luck.

Great app and look forward to trying out fixes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hello again, and sorry for the absence. Development is going quite slow now as I'm trying to find time to do something. I will eventually start releasing fixes but it might take a while. The goal is to restructure the whole program a bit and avoid some issues discussed here. Keep your pantyhose on for now...

Issue after uninstall/reinstall

Seven - I have downloaded and installed the latest CAB, but when I activate Sunscape, it is unresponsive to the touchscreen or Dpad. I had it working previously, but started tinkering with it and had to uninstall/reinstall. Now, once installed and activated, I can't get it to work. Any advice?

This is the best screen locking program I have found, so I would really like to get it working again - HELP!!

i got errors on the gant :( i wanna try this :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drewmerl:
Hello,

Thanks for the hard work, I've wanted to try something new that seemed easier to use than the default WinMo.

I installed and figured out the XML file as well.

A few comments (some of this may have been brought up, but I stopped reading after page 17):

Definitely a small memory footprint.

Works with the Juicy ROM 090405H

Ensure the 'CPUThresholdPercent' is adjusted properly or it will never startup.

Instructions not user-friendly for newcomers.

Upon incoming call, flashes OEM caller ID screen and then reverts to Sunscape screen/caller ID, slow to unlock, usually miss the call.

Included documents do not give enough directions on how to edit the wallpaper. I thought there would be one image to just swap out and see there are lots of images.

In contrast, well documented XML file.

Overall a great job, I greatly appreciate your work.

I'm experiencing problems accessing the Sourcecode (SVN) . Is there a mirror?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jo_keks:
Did I understand the licens right? Am I allowed to use your amazing app inside other apps (non commercial)?

I'd like to use it in an Applet for PointUI, would it be ok?

Hey, any of you geniuses know how to edit the Squared Nature theme so it works with the latest "unstable" release of this great software? I stared at the xml file for a while but I'm too stupid to figure out what to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sempixel:
Take the .xml of the last unstable release and copy into it, in the right places, parameters contained in the squared nature one.

i'm to lazy to do it myself :)

Sunscape not listening

I just got and installed sunscape yesterday. I have played with it all day today and I am unable to do 2 things.

1. Even tho I have set lock on wake to false, every single time I "wake" the phone when I go to click on anything it launches Sunscape and I have to wait to unlock it.... I cannot figure this out for the life of me.

2. I have set the Landscape Config weather to F instead of C and it's still showing the weather in Celcius instead of Fehrenheit on Landscape.

Running Windows Mobile 6.1 on the LG Incite with LG Rom Version v10i. Any assistance would be great. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
True and true and true. It's a call bug / wake bug and should be easily fixed as soon as I get the svn up and running. I'm sorry but I don't have an ETA on that. I just lack the man/woman power for it.

Yes... And more than that. Sunscape is OpenSourced. Crud away, you're allowed to edit / modify / change code and even start a fork (even with another name) of the program as long as you keep the credits to the initial author.

Going further on this, I apologise for my absence and I'm sorry to say that I don't know when the next update shall be. I'm currently busy with other commitments. However, I notice that the community is still interested in this project and since I don't know when I'll update Sunscape and I'm focusing more on Whiskers, I am ready to orphan the project for anybody who may want to continue developing further. It seems I bit off more than I could chew and I currently span too many projects and I am unable to fix the bugs as fast as they come in on my own. Maybe somebody with a bit more passion, talent and time would like to pick-up the project or at least a co-author who would like to help? I will up the svn server back up in around one month time from now. If anybody wishes to adopt this project, please tell me and I'll transfer ownership or we can co-admin the project and use svn to synchronize our changes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] los1223:
It might be a good idea to note your plan to orphan the project out on the first post of this thread. The chances of a qualified, interested person reading this 1 paragraph in a whole thread would be much slimmer than them reading the first post. Just my $0.02 :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Yes, good point. I'll do that immediately. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kimtyson:
No one wants to take over on this? I really have no talent to do it but it looks like a good app that could continue to be developed.

Sunscape - Version

Hi, pls could you rename your downable cab-file to the existing version or doing a version history list adding executable links to the different versions? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] francesco85:
yesterday sunscape crashed on incoming call, the exception message was NullPointerException.(eventually i'll report the entire stack trace..) The caller has just mobile phone number, no picture.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrjay:
salutare,

foarte tare programul. problema e ca eu am un diamond si se vad cam mititele iconitele de la mesaje si baterie. oricum foarte tare programul. keep it up.

EN: Great program man. i enjoy it very much. keep it up
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Indeed, if you update to the latest version, it will accept Programme/Sunscape as a valid path so you won't have to correct that anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
The version you download from the first page is a "current" version. It's unstable and in testing. The latest stable release is still the 0.2 and quite soon (after clearing up the rest of the bugs) will be 0.3. When I release 0.3 as stable I'll update the post with links to 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 but it's useless to bump up the version now since it's bound to change on a daily basis. Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks! I'll look into it and solve it today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
RO: Salutare! Imi pare bine ca-ti place. Intr-adevar, daca Sunscape nu gaseste un ecran de 480x640 (VGA) o sa redimensioneze toata partea de grafica. Nu este o solutie ci doar ceva temporar sa arate cat de cat ok. Bineinteles, singura solutie este sa creeze cineva un "theme" pentru rezolutia ta; le includ pe toate in pachet daca se incumeta careva (ca master athlon). :-)

EN: Hello, I'm glad you like it. Indeed, if Sunscape doesn't find a 480x640 (VGA) screen it will try to scale all the graphics. It's not a solution but rather something that will make it look alright on the first install. Of course, the only solution for that is for somebody to create a theme for your resolution; I will include them all in the release if anybody makes one (like master athlon). :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Think I found the bug, thank you for your report. I'll have it fixed today!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
New version available. This one fixes francesco85's bug and adds a couple of things:

1.) Lock on wake up - a PROPER lock on wake up. If your device is suspended for a while, Sunscape will start in the background and when you'll turn it on it will show. It's enabled by default and can be disabled from Sunscape.xml. (This needs testing)

2.) Splash screen - this is to fix annoying lockups while using your ppc. If for some reason Sunscape wants to start and you're in the middle of something, just tap the screen when it says "Locking..." and it will try to exit as fast as possible.

3.) Missed calls are now counted with a separate icon.

I also took berndhufmann's advice and I'm now releasing incrementally (on the main page, Download section, the releases at the top are most current).

If you guys have any more bug reports, complaints, or anything else please do so. I want to weed out the last bugs and release 0.3 mainstream.

Also, master athlon is it possible for you to include Sunscape.xml and images in a zip file (name it as you want, say DrWho.zip or something like it) and attach a README with your instructions/theme name/your name/email etc...? When we hit 0.3 I want to make a separate section on sourceforge.net with themes and you'll be the first!

Initial post updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Oops, cleared the mess with the phone handling routines. Think we're ok now!

Initial post updated!

EDIT: splash screen will now exit with keypress too (for non-touchscreen users).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Some more bugfixes...

Initial post updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Loving this. thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] showaco:
Coming along great! Is there a way for the icons not to be shown with the white background? I changed to different icons with transparent backgrounds, but they still show on lock screen with white behind them. On the latest version I just tried, the splash screen comes up, but it hangs there. How's the key lock coming? If you already put it in, I haven't got to use the latest since I have the issue with it hanging on lock. One other small thing, is it possible to change where weather comes from? I use accuweather feed(check the FeatherWeather link in my sig), which is more accurate than the yahoo feed, and would love to be able to change.

Edit: newest version works ok after I reinstalled, no more problems with splash screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] master athlon:
alright i got my theme updated, check post 35 on page 4 for the updated post.

Seven: whenever i receive a call the caller id screen comes up as normal, but i have to press the answer key twice, is this intentional or a mistake that is happening on my device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheart:
Hi I think the idea of this program is cool. Here are the issues I ve with my Niki:

- the appointments does not show up

- caller id does not work

- the program does not show up on wakeup after suspension.

other functions are fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thank you for testing! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hehe thank you for taking your time to test it!

Ok, for the transparent icons. Sadly .net CF doesn't support "native" transparency. On the regular framework you can easily set alpha channels and make images transparent. This is not possible on CF. However, there are "hacks": copying the background rectangle on which the icon will be drawn, draw over that "small" rectangle and then paint it over the background at the same place. I wouldn't go that far yet with Sunscape since this solution is ugly (just like hiding the "Phone - Incoming" window). When I first started Sunscape I looked into it since I wanted the icons to be transparent too! :P I gave up though when I saw the mess you have to go through...

I looked on accuweather for an rss xml file and I found the following link (in my case):

http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=EUR|RO|RO010|BUCHAREST

This is a bit of a problem. Ok, we have Fahrenheit and Celsius in Sunscape.xml so getting the url with "metric=0" (or "metric=1" in your case) is no problem. However, what follows is scary: "EUR", this means we'll have to include EUR, US (huh?), ASIA (is it?), AFRICA (hmm?). RO is ok since it's for Romania and we can make a chooser like <country>Romania<country>. RO010? What's that? Bucharest is again ok since we can add <city>Bucharest<city> in the configuration file.

I still have to browse around a bit and see if one can grab the RSS feed in a more generic manner. Yahoo uses those weather code thingies like ROXX10100 blah blah which imply a single setting... If accuweather uses them too, we're cool!

I'm looking into locking down the keys, looks a bit scary... Seems I'll have to drill a hole into p/invoke again. Then again it's M$, why do I wonder? :P

Hehe, great the splash screen works now. Get the new version, I think it's smoother now, I weeded out lots of bugs...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Odd, odd, odd. I'd say this is a random bug, please check out the new version, it should be more stable!

Thanks for updating the theme, once we weed out the last of bugs, we're set!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hmm, it might be that your appointment is scheduled sometime further than say 1 week. In this case it won't display it. I tested with an appointment set tomorrow and it showed up.

For the CallerID, what exactly doesn't work? Doesn't show up? Shows up but no text? Crashes? Bill Gates giving us the middle finger? Try the latest version... I've done some tweaking around the CallerID and it should run smooth now...

Ok, I had two options for monitoring the power events (device suspend, device wake) and had to choose either by requesting power notifications or relying on system events and schedule a startup. I chose the latter since the former is messy. I've noticed that if I suspend-cycle my device it doesn't show up... But, if I suspend my device (power button) and leave it be for a while and then wake it up, Sunscape will be there...

If you've checked these and are still having trouble could you give me more info about your system? I don't know what a Niki is... :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Ok peeps, new version is here... Lots of tweaks, changed some handler routines. Tested it on my device and it works really nice!

Initial post updated!

EDIT: Can somebody please check if this locks the keys?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
New update. Minor fix and got rid of some threads. Again, this seems to run stable on my machine, please test it...

Also, please check if this version locks the softkeys.

Initial post updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] francesco85:
great improvements SevenRains, all hardware keys seems to be locked on my prophet ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bis:
i installed this on my HTC Touche (Vouge) and when i removed the program it went fine but now whenever my phone is idle i get a Notification Error " Cannot Execute \Program Files\Sunscape\Sunscape.exe"

anyone know how to get rid of this i am a noob
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Nope, you're right, I will mention on the initial post: you have to unlock it first and then uninstall (like s2u2).

Remedy: install Sunscape, press Sunscape Unlock, uninstall Sunscape.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hehe, thanks! :D It's nice hearing these words...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] francesco85:
or you can use fdcsoft Task manager (freeware), select "Notification" tab, remove sunscape entry from the list.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Yep, indeed! Thanks! :D

THANKs 2 SevenRains

Sunscape z a practical PROGRAM based N simple idea .

I was thinking about the idea sometime ago

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382162

and very glade that it become to reality

THANKS 2 SEVENRAINS
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thank you for taking interest in Sunscape! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Here's a thought:

1.) You can edit the pressure point graphics, locations etc...

2.) We have 10 pressure points.

3.) Duplicate your wallpaper 10 times so you have 10 instances of your wallpaper.

4.) Now add an effect to those 10 images, an incremental one. Take the default wallpaper Sunscape comes with, it's black and white. Add a colorize effect to it starting from your wallpaper.

5.) Set the paint point locations at 0 and the size of each pressure point, the size of your wallpaper.

You could have, for example, a colored picture fade to grey if you press the screen long enough... Didn't test it, I'm about to... How does that sound?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] francesco85:
SevenRains do you think is possible to create a widget that display information such as last sms information (sender+body), or last missed call until unlock?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Yep can be done! I'll see if I can add that too...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Ok. Final for today, minor changes again!

Just downloaded and installed the latest, sad to say, for me on smartphone, keys are still active. I have memory app mapped to left soft that when activated puts a small window on top of active window. If I press it while sunscape is locked, the memory window appears on top. If I press the green call button, then I can dial a number and make a call while sunscape is still locked(although I can't see the call screen, lock screen stays on top). And I have right soft mapped for a long press to close apps, when its pressed while lock is on, it closes sunscape and returns me to the homescreen.:( Lock works smoother now, through the splash screen.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Ok - solved it. Will make a release in a couple of hours or so. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChaosPlaysBass:
I downloaded the app and it installed fine on my phone's main memory. However, when I try to use it by selecting the Sunscape icon, it attempts to connect to MEdia Net. If I cancel that, it works fine but until I hit cancel on the connecting pop-up, it won't do anything. It also gives me a message that there was an unhandled exception if I try the Sunscape Lock option.

Any help would be appreciated, this looks to be an awesome program!

ChaosPB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks for trying it out! :)

Sunscape tries to download the current weather status and that's why it's trying to connect to a carrier. You can disable that in Sunscape.xml -> weather -> enabled -> false in both portrait and landscape modes if you don't want it to connect to anything.

Could you please give me the full details of the unhandled exception? Also, what happens if you set Sunscape.xml -> SunscapeLock -> LockOnWakeUp -> enabled -> false? Does it still crash? Does Sunscape Unlock.exe crash?

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
New version is here, now Sunscape locks all keys except power button and dpad-right for users without touchscreen.

Initial post updated!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChaosPlaysBass:
That's cool, I'm not worried about it connecting since I have an unlimited data plan, I just was concerned that it was taking forever to connect, unlike if I try to connect to go online.

As for the exception, it's not happening anymore, must have been a fluke bug that fixed itself when I soft-reset.

Can't wait to see the next release, it's so refreshing to see another locking program besides S2U2.

ChaosPB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hehe, thank you for taking interest in Sunscape. I released a new version just now. This one should lock all keys except the DPAD-Right. It was requested by several users and I implemented it today...

Quite odd with that exception thigie. Ugh gotta love Windows...

Yep. I'm not competing with A_C and his S2U2 or anything, I just have my own way of handling a few things and I also prefer OpenSource instead of closed code.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hmm is that what you peeps wanted? Complete lockout? No answer button, no reject button? Sure? Or rather leave the answer / reject button out of the lock?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] showaco:
I think when a call comes, you have to be able to answer or reject, the rest of the time these keys should be locked, only active during call. Is that possible? Downloading new version now to check the key lock out, I'll post back to let you know how it goes

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChaosPlaysBass:
Ok, I just got home from work and tried to disable the auto connect as you said because it was eating my battery up being connected all day. Anyway, I edited the .xml like you said and now the darn error is back, lol. It is "Sunscape Lock.exe NullReferenceException at SunscapeLock.Lock.Main()"

Hope that helps you out in your debugging and such. Love the program when it works for me, which was earlier before I edited the file.

ChaosPB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] showaco:
hahaha:), the key locks works good on smartphone, now I can finally do some extended testing tomorrow and post some better results. I haven't been using it except for short periods, since i have about 50 keys that kept getting pressed before. App's coming along great by the way. Excellent work:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hmm, yep, that usually occurs if there is no Sunscape.xml file. Does that happen when you run Sunscape.exe too? If it does, then most probably when you saved Sunscape.xml, it got saved with another extension or something like Sunscape.xml.txt. Check that first... If you reinstall? Same thing happens? Whoah, this is a nasty bug... Sunscape Lock.exe is even a wrapper it almost does absolutely nothing...

Also, you can increase the time between updates on the weather thingie:

Sunscape.xml -> weather_sleep -> 900000 (ms). That's around 15 minutes. Say you wanted updates uh... every 2 hours. So 2 (h) * 60 (m) * 60 (s) * 1000 (ms) = 7200000 (ms). So you just enter the value there and it will connect once on start and then wait two hours before even initiating a connection again :)

Of course, you can set it to any value, just need to calculate the time in miliseconds.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Okie dokie. Done! Answer and Reject keys are enabled on call. :) The only issue, seemed to happen to master athlon too is that you'll have to press answer twice (happens to you too?)... It seems that a first press is necessary to launch the phone application and the second does the job. I'll have to find a more elegant way to pickup the call...
