Hello A_C

S2U2 is a great program, thank you very much for your efforts.

I would like to present a little feature request, maybe you or other uses will find it interesting:

- Add an "setting" to automatically dismiss WM notifications which are handled and displayed by S2U2 while locked (sms,mms,email,reminder) even if you don't click on the preview icon to view those.

Off-topic: if someone knows a registry setting or a .exe which automatically dismiss all notifications, it may do the trick as well and I would be very happy to know about it.

Cheers,

Laurent

I am running W6.1 on the touch pro 2 and installed 2.24 and everything goes crazy.. the password lock does not work.. sometimes it unlocks by its self. the application slows down my phone.. i went back to 2.22.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
I just downloaded v2.24 and it is running fine.

The only issue is that it took up 8mb of my Device Storage memory!

I deleted the the previous I had which was v2.04 and downloaded v2.24 again. The same thing. It took up almost 8mb of memory.

Any ideas why?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I have been in contact with A_C, and it appears the issue I am having is with my OS.

An hour after downloading v2.24, 4mb of memory was retrieved on its own. This happened previously with other versions I have downloaded.

I have also downloaded v2.24 after a Complete Cleanup which includes All S2U2 Files and the Registry, which helps to retrieve the 4mb much quicker.

v2.24 takes up approximately 4mb of memory as A_C has said.

As usual, A_C gives S2U2 110% Support which is very much appreciated :)

Thank you.

I ended up reverting to v2.22 after receiving a text message bypassed the lock and crashed the phone :p

Unlock "Loop"

I have an issue i did not expect to encounter. With a Pin/password set, when unlocking the device, it will continue to loop back to the prompt for the pin. I was at first quite concerned I had been locked out of my phone. If I power cycle my phone, on boot it will accept the pin. I have done a great deal of troubleshooting, but can't seem to figure out why during normal operation, i get stuck in an "unlock" loop! Very frustrating. Seems like a great product, but I can't use it if I have to power cycle my phone whenever I want to unlock it. I am using the HTC Touch Pro 2...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Turn on "Don't lock system".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p51d007:
I had almost the same problem. If the screen was locked, and an event took place. I would unlock it, and everything was unresponsive. (v2.24)

I never had a problem until the 2.2x versions came out. The 2.0x versions appears to be ok

Rom version is RRE™ T²-Series 1 build 28014.5.5.5 v2.1 (aruppenthal)

which have been very stable.

Uninstalling s2u2 does not seem to help.

I'm sure you'll work it out.

Hope this info helps :)

About the slow slider

of the new version of S2U2, I've tried plenty of ways have a better arrow (file arrows.png in gfx folder) but nothing worked fine.

I also tried to draw my own arrow (quite a big disaster until I found mushipkw's tutorial).

But still the same problem. I was ready to go back to the older version when I tried another way ; to change the arrow by a biggest arrow I found... in Hero theme (looks like a fingerprint).

I tried this one since yesterday, removing by the same way the design of the slider (just the "guide" of the arrow) and it works perfectly.

So, if you are unable (like I am) to draw a bigger arrow than the stock one, here is "mine" (well the one I am using).

Enjoy !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
A_C, could there be one minor change?

As upgrade of existing S2U2 leaves saved theme, could it also NOT overwrite/uninstall lang.ini?

Not a big deal, just idea...

how can i set the lock key to call s2u2 instead of default windows lock?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lyma:
Great App!!

Hey I reli like the app!! Thnks for ur great work! Though wt rom ws that on ur screen shots? I reli wnt it!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saumaun:
The slider is a bit buggy with the newest versions.

S2U2 is a great app with lots of features. BUT, we are adding many things which complicate the program. I think its easy for us to loose sight of the priorities here. Amongst the highest needs for the app is responsiveness, and that has been slowly falling behind. Everything seems to be in place, so I think it would be awesome to work on the general responsiveness of S2U2 to make it even better!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Vulture-:
Over the last two days, every night the battery of my HD2 went down about 40% (~7 hours). Im using 2.24 with nearly all settings to standard, i only changed some cosmetic things. Im testing it this night with S2U2 disabled, maybe that will bring some light onto this case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kurwa_44:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodeocowboy60:
I have installed 2.24 on my Touch Pro 2 with stock rom and the slider is so sluggish that I can only get it to work about one in 10 times and I can't answer a call about 90% of the time. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodeocowboy60:
One more thing... whenever I unlock my phone it turns to the home screen no matter how the setting is set. that is on a Touch Pro 2 with stock Sprint ROM. I remove s2u2 and it works fine and returns to the screen I turned off from... but reinstall s2u2 and problem returns.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nomo:
I agree, the last version is working fine in my Touch pro 2 is V2.04 after that one too many problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kurwa_44:
installing v2.22 helped for me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LondonTownGuy:
Hi AC. The latest version works well on HTC HD2 LEO. One small matter when using XDA shutdown, the power off selection or the power off cab which is similar, powers off using a soft key rather than having to use the hardware key all the time. S2u2 sometimes fails to start or when it does start it takes a couple of seconds after the windows screen appears. This doesn,t happen with the windows lockscreen.

A work around is to use the s2u2 soft key and let it power off after a few seconds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scarecrow420:
If you read the info in the thread the more recent versions use a new type of system locking which is needed to stop certain things like hardkeys (camera button) on some phones from unlocking the phone even with the old S2U2 running.

But A_C said that using this system lock also causes side effects/behaviour on some phones such as unlocking to Home screen etc. He said you can set "Dont lock system" option to go back to the old way S2U2 worked. In general if it worked OK for you in earler verrsions then try changing it back that way by setting "Dont Lock System". It seems to be the newer phones like HD2 or Omnia/2 that need the System Lock option in order to lock properly.

The slow responsiveness of the slider though seems to be a problem in the most recent version - i have not updated to it but plenty of people in here have mentioned it.

A_C - perhaps you should add the information about "Dont Lock System" to the first post and say from which version number it started, as this was basically a major change to the default S2U2 setup so people who had run earlier versions and just install the new one without reading all the later posts in this thread would not realise that the default lock method has changed but they can go back to the old style wth that setting
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
I'd already done that in the FAQs. But seems most don't care of it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wuub:
hey

since v2.24 (with or without patch) when phone is locked (or even in settings) when a new email or a SMS arrives S2U2 display is flashing.

can't see what flashes but i guess it's POutlook.

System notifications lock is ON

Email ans SMS notifications is OFF

Don't lock system is ON

Am i doing something wrong ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] priprema:
Palm Treo 750..

Everything is working like a charm except SMS preview.

The count is OK, the onscreen button can be pressed but

there is no preview, and slider is not changing to SLIDE TO VIEW like

in other notifications. The SMS preview is switched on and version is 2.24

The Winmo version is 6.1.

Also, is ther a way to stop system caller id baloon from showing, so i can

use S2U2 for caller ID?

Thanks in advance.

How do you change text (Slide to Unlock)to english language

This is cool I can install it in my storage card. How did you do that?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
to change text edit file lang.ini with some text editor!

S2U2 MUST be instaled on MAIN MEMORY (device memory)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cga_ie:
Thanks. I was wondering becuase I was prompted to select where to install it and it installed in my storage

Which editor can I use?

anyone else with this problem? can you keep this in mind on your next update... thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] herea_costin:
I can not belive how you could ruine such a simple app. How hard is to change the wallpaper, sounds, event the damn clock. I'm so frustrated right now you people can not imagine. I lost 2 hours in my disperate atempt to change the clock desing to the original htc sense look, and to ad a wallpaper.

Uninstall = done...

PS. Realy now... why do some one feel the need for 100000 setings for a lockscreen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doczyus:
Dear All,

I have HTC Touch2 with the original WM6.5 ROM. When the screen is off activating the WM 6.5 built in slide unlock application. I installed S2U2 V2.24 to change the original lock application but when I waking up my phone, firstly I see the S2U2 screen. When I unlocking this after I see the WM6.5 built in locking screen. So what do you think, how can I inactivating the built in lock application?

Thanxxx!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Man, if it doesn't work for you then don't use it. Uninstall and walk away. It's not like you PAID for it.

Lighten up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] herea_costin:
there is an "disable auto device lock.cab" some where, but i don't find it.

That i did :). I stated my opinion on this, after the pain of customising it. It is a briliant piece of application but ruined because of way to many setings choices. It's too much iphoneish ( some creativity would be great ), too many setings ( some basic on off sliders would be ideal, just like bsb ), poor graphics on phone answer mode and no mute option, etc. I would buy this if it was more OEM graphics and usability orientated.

I think bad reviews are essential for future development, don't do you agree?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] polleoh:
Hi!

How would I change the location of the slider. I want to place it a little above the current one. Is it even possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Novadecasa:
Hello, I would like the iPhone slider to, mayby even with the huge battery indicator but without having to install S2U2.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pedmond:
Yes, I feel the need for many settings, and so do many others.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4D3:
Jesus!! I mean people want a configurable customisable lock, this is the best about PERIOD!!

the interface is very simple it is written in english and has options like "Power" obviously this is how the lock handles power/locking, "wallpaper" obviously this is for the wallpaper etc etc how is this hard?

Also if you want to change the clock, download a clock and copy the files over to the S2U2 dir! how is that hard?

Its not hard at all, what we have here is a P.I.C.N.I.C error:

PROBLEM IN CHAIR NOT IN COMPUTER

I cannot believe that this is a free app, the best of its kind and people are *****ing about it.

If you dont like it uninstall it and stop crying because you cannot understand simple english and leave the thread.

I dont really care for your whining, as im pretty sure A_C doesnt either!!

Or if you are that great at coding write a better lock! Bet you cant, i mean if you cant navigate the control panel for this lock, i doubt you can write C#!!

Dude! I didnt expect something like that from you!! youve helped me out many times in the past, I didnt think you would get defeated by a lock!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Man, what's up with you, MysticGenius, really? You're being so aggro lately :p.

I also think there are way too many settings available, and many of them are not self-descriptive. It's not that the S2 apps are bad, but they really could be better, especially as they seem to be written by geeks for geeks :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4D3:
Yeah i know, stress studying etc etc, also see my last section of this post, as it explains fully my aggro!!

But to be fair, i have never once looked at the instructions for S2U2 and NEVER found a problem with using them, its common sense.

I could understand if this was a paid app and people were not getting service, fair enough but this is a VERY GOOD free app and people are crying like they are owed something!

this is free, take it or leave it.

also if there is a problem with the amount of settings surly the way to go about it is:

Hi,

Sorry to say this but i find the settings a little but unexplanitory, please could you provide more detail?

Thanks

Not

This is blatantly rude, and as usual it has been posted up by one of the people who have got the HD2, joined in DEC 2009 and when things dont go right they ***** and cry about it blaming everyone else other then themselves for their own lack on understanding.

My Agro is all of the tourists that have arrived with the release of the HD2 who jump off the bus taking pictures and asking questions without thinking.

No-one has a problem helping with a genuine problem, but unfortunately tourists dont post genuine problems they post stupid!

This site used to be full of intelligent people who helped/developed and taught each other, not it seems to be full of morons who think this is a restaurant where they can click their fingers shout "Waiter" and get what they want on a plate!

@ Livven: not directed at you, just an explanation of my "aggro" :p

@ A_C: Apologies for the posts, but i was defending a brilliant application and a free one at that.

I agree there are lots of options, but that is why i like it, i can change ANYTHING i want and personally I do think this is the best lockcall screen about so thanks a lot for your work

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
My Response to the Criticizers of S2U2

A_C originally created S2U2 as a Locking Program. As time went by and Users asked for certain features to be incorporated into S2U2, it evolved into what you have today, S2U2 v2.24........and S2U2 will keep evolving in the near and foreseeable future.

A_C has put a lot of time and effort into S2U2, and I am sure is very proud of what S2U2 has become.

The funny thing is that as the Program evolved, Users kept asking for more features. People were asking, "Why can't it do this?" "Can you make it do this?" etc., etc. Others would say, "It is a Locking Program, and if A_C wants to add those features, he will, but he is not obligated to add those features as S2U2 was originally a Locking Program."

It's A_C's "Baby," and A_C will bring it in the Direction of however he feels. I would say that 99+% of the Users are extremely happy with the Evoulution of S2U2, and A_C is very Proud of his work, and of how many Downloads there have been. A_C has not only brought to us this Great Program, but he Supports S2U2 110%, as I and many others can attest to.

A_C could have as easily made this Payware, but instead, he made it Freeware, and people are free to Donate to this Project. I donated twice already. It would have been Cheaper to Pay for the Program once :)

There will always be Naysayers, but that is the way it is. As long as A_C feels that the requests make sense to him, and will make S2U2 even better, and he wants to make others Happy, and he feels the Suggestions would Benefit the Majority, I am sure he will continue on the Path he has taken with S2U2.

I personally just use S2U2 as a Simple Locking Program. I obviously use some of the Settings to make it work the best for my Application.

The issue for some might be Device Memory. And that if there was also a modified version of S2U2 to utilize the Locking Feature only, less memory would be used. That would be the only arguement I can see for making a modified version. It only takes up 4mb, and I personally have more than enough memory to enable S2U2. The problem with a Modified Version would be that people would keep asking for "Just one more feature to be added." etc. and we would eventually have the S2U2 we have today :)

If some are making the arguement, that due to all of the different Settings,

S2U2 is difficult to set Properly, then I say like others have said, just take the time to read and look at the settings and use what you need.

I am NOT speaking on Behalf of A_C, and the above are just my Opinions :) and Interpretations as I see them.......

Thanks A_C for a Great Program, and Keep up The Good Work!!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nakel:
I have to chime in here too.

I am very grateful for all of the work that the developers here at XDA have put into this site. WinMo phones just aren't that great out of the box. But with the help of people like AC my phone has become a useful tool and entertainment center. I travel for a living; I can't tell you how much easier my life has become as a direct result of the efforts of these great folks. And all of it for free. I am not a developer, and so I have been unble to contribute much to the effort here, although I have tried to help others where my meager knowledge could make a difference.

I can't believe the self centered, entitled little SOBs who come on here and ***** about the help that is freely given. I gotta say though, I'm sure it's much worse having to live in their skin than it is to have to read their snotty posts. I pity their family members. Can you imagine having to actually live around these turds??? "This isn't what I wanted for dinner! Make me something else! WAHHHH!"

From the bottom of my heart, thank you AC for all of the time and effort you've put in to making other peoples life's just a little bit easier.

I'm relatively new to WinMo. Come from Symbian (hey, can't do sh*t with it). Installed A_C's S2U2 because it seemed what I needed. Sat down on the couch and went through the settings. Took me about 20 minutes to configure it the way I wanted. Tried some settings and looked at the result, tried another setting. Nothing complicated I think, even got it in my own language. Just need to do it once.

Now I sometimes power up my Omnia just to look at the locked screen. Just because it looks fabulous and it gives me all the info I need. Did I say it looks fabulous?

There are other screen lockers, sure. But they are just not satisfying for me.

Respect to A_C and his work. A tremendous big thanks for sharing his work for free!

Just felt the need to add my comment. I hate it when developers are bashed for their work if someone can turn to an alternative solution. What does it add for anyone?

Rotation bug?

Hi A_C...

I just donated a small amount for this great app... sorry it's not more.

A small issue I have noticed with the last 2 versions of S2U2 on my Omnia...

Regardless as to whether I have "ignore screen rotation" set to on or off, if my device rotates in the background while S2U2 is active, and I 'slide to unlock', the first thing I see is my SPB Mobile Shell home screen rotate back to portrait... and immediately it has done this, S2U2 kicks back in instantly, and I have to unlock again.

Have you heard of this before, and if so, would you happen to know of a work around for this?

Cheers.
