[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hello Everyone,

I am fully aware that the program expired today. I had set it up so. This expiration served as my deadline. And I am proud to say that I have reached said deadline.

I am currently in school today, last day of classes, but when I return home, I will release Public Release 1.5 [Has bug fixes, and some new features].

Check back. It should be uploaded by 3:00 PM EST (USA).

this app is very good idea...with more improvements and better images, it will be great...

good work..

thx

a newer version expected?

Hi,

it is a good and interesting software. Unfortunately, it does not, as the usage period has expired!? When is using a newer version expected?

happy day

You could not be bothered to read the posts then? Try looking at post 14, it is only 2 up from your one.

thus ashes on my head

okay, I had read the thread today morning and now tries again software - only all the other posts then ignored. Who can read a clear advantage - thus ashes on my head
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey all,

Check the first post, I updated to 1.5 :)

Keep enjoying the program! and if you really love this app, feel free to press the Donate link in my signature and send me a Coca Cola or two :).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Much Awaited, Much Delayed ... It is FINALLY here

V2.5

So here is what to expect with V2.5:

Speed Improvements

Major Customization Abilities

Versatility

Compatibility

The biggest thing is the Compatibility component. Since I implemented the ini file configuration, it would seem the program is working better. I tried running the old version on my HD2, it didn't work. I tried running the ini-based one, and it ran like a charm.

It still has the 2-minute non-registered limitation ... licenses CAN BE PURCHASED ON MY WEBSITE.

Here is what I mainly am looking for from you, the users, in testing out this version:

Does it work on your device?

Can you customize it [via the INI]

Does everything seem to work CORRECTLY? (ie Signal and Battery Meters, and Icons)

Other comments

The INI file has a very good amount of Commenting ... Please follow it , and you will be fine in terms of customization. If you have any questions concerning Customization, please post here and I will assist you as soon as possible.

Since this version IS BUGGY [i think], I have not made it the official new version on my website, and I have not cabbed it up. But as far as a CAB goes, it should be okay. This program is made to run in virtually any folder you put it, as long as all the components stay together.

In my next release, 3.0, there will be MANY MANY IMPROVEMENTS [customizer tool, background helper, etc. etc.] ... so I am going to get to work on that. If you can report bugs quickly, it would be much appreciated.

Things I know I have not yet fixed (Please don't post those bugs, as I know about them already):

Clock

Conflict with Incoming Phonecall

So to INSTALL: Simply unzip to your phone, and make a shortcut to the start Menu.

It comes pre-loaded with Leica's theme, and a compatible INI file for a 480x800 layout [HD2]. Feel free to download other themes from my website, make new themes and INI files and send them to me, or just play around in general with the app.

Thank you all so much for all your patience with this program :) I hope I can turn this into a GREAT application :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
good job.

1 So on my X1 signal level doesn't work at all - shows "none".

In previous version worked with lags, bot now doesn't work at all.

2. application hides on incoming call, good, but after call finished top system taskbar overlays FFP screen.

3 still want scanbar as transparent png support too : )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of the Taskbar issue ... was hoping it may have been an HD2 only type of thing haha. Oh well. I will fix that, shouldn't be too hard.

I will look into transparent Scanbar support ... if anything, this may come only in 3.0 (not in a minor fix release) because it would require I switch all my drawing over to a whole API ... GDI and the Imaging api support transparency, but they are VERY SLOW, and it would not accomodate for the speed of scannning.

Signal Level: I had a feeling it was inaccurate. I may release a simple EXE for people to use on their phones so I can get feedback as to how exactly RIL is getting me my signal data. I haven't found a great method for calculating signal yet. I am basically doing (Current - Minimum) / (Maximum - Minimum) * 100 . But it just isn't good enough.

How would you feel about me switch from a 5-bar Signal Meter to a 4-Bar signal meter. THe 4 bar would be MUCH MORE BATTERY EFFICIENT and MUCH MORE ACCURATE [since I can just read it from the registry]? I don't want to do the same for the Battery, because I want to see if later on I can implement a 1% battery meter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
Actually my X1 with 6.5 has only 4 bars on signal level.

Battery bar works good.

about png

may be exist some animation tricks

x1 is rather powerful device, so i can't believe it can't play so simple animation.

you can redraw just scanning region or something similar...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Okay ... I will ATTEMPT a transparent ScanBar in 3.0 ... I have an HD2 now, which has a Snapdragon ... so it should be able to do that sort of processing. If it works on my HD2, then I will make it a configurable option to enable/disable transparency.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
So when we get something about v2.51 with fixed signal bar and taskbar for testing ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
Hi, seems i found some bugs.

Lets look how app starts in slow motion:

1. I see background image appears. *blink*

2. Then I see all icons AND clock too! *blink*

3. Then again clean background image. *blink*

4. At last I see final interface without clock.

It takes 0.5 seconds.

Here I see 100% extra unneeded operations 1 and 2.

Don't even tell me it is OK.

Next.

I slide my keyboard in ls-mode and see landscape mode is not supported and not blocked.

I slide my keyboard back to portrait mode and see strange thing - white screen and scanbox in center - touch zone.png.

1. Why this zone refreshes, but other not? I see no any reason to refresh it.

Few seconds later appears refreshed zone for clock, thought clock was swithed off. Also signal and battery bars sometime(!) appear.

2. Why? And Why touchzone refreshed perfect in the same time as info icons do not ?

And one more important thing - all the time I see "unregistered blabla" text WITHOUT any bug!

3. So why "unreg blabla" text output works perfect in the same time as text clock output doesn't work?

Sleeping mode/Screen on/off doesn't affect on refreshing of skin - it still white with some refreshed zones.

4. Don't you activate refreshing after important system events such as WakeUp?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
Actually on X1 all keys blocked except power button. and red-phone key doesn't respond too. so for x1 you can save the code.

You can make a trick.

for ex:

output('unreg blabla')

replace with

output(time)

and no more

here only 2 solutions:

1. if time showed OK on screen instead of "unreg blabla", then problem in using of output, so just leave both in the same place:

output('unreg blabla')

output(time)

2. if time doesn't showed (or with bug), then problem in gettime function:

must be t="12:21"

but actual t="" or t:=" "

try to get time another waya

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/time/

http://www.cyberforum.ru/visual-cpp/thread16039.html#post72799

1st way

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h> void main( )
{
char dateStr [9];
char timeStr [9];
_strdate( dateStr);
printf( "curr date: %s \n", dateStr);
_strtime( timeStr );
printf( "curr time: %s \n", timeStr);
}

2nd way:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h> void main()
{
SYSTEMTIME st;
GetSystemTime(&st);
printf("year:%d\nMonth:%d\Day:%d\nhour:%d\nMinute:%d\nSecond:% d\n" ,st.wYear,st.wMonth,st.wDay,st.wHour,st.wMinute,st.wSecond);
}

I think putting time code exactly near "unreg blabla" will eliminate the problem, because in my small testing mode time area doesn't refreshed at all. just try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Okay, so it does its job correctly. It blocked the red-phone key on my Excalibur too. The only issue is that on the HD2, the Red-Key is also the power key ...

Also...I figured out how to block the power key! [Not on the HD2] ...

As far as time goes, I will try out that trick...I get a feeling it has more to do with dumb memory allocation or how I copy the string and everything. It is much more complicated in C++ than in C# ... that is why I keep messing it up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
Well, where something to test?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I'll be honest. I haven't touched this in 5 days ... Thanksgiving + Full day at school for the past two days ... its been intense. I am already trying to scrounge in Time for XDA-Market. I will have a release of this, though. Just don't push it. I want to release 3.0 when it is good and ready. And I have one and a half of the exterior DLLs done already. So I am on track...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:
Something like that I've heard about 2.5 ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ethermind:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WINE GLASS:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theXaviar:
Looks interesting. Can't download it though. Avast says the file is infected and blocks the download.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I have looked into it, and I honestly don't know anything to do about the FALSE POSITIVE with virus detectors. This program is NOT malware, but has some API calls that go into the Kernel of the phone that these scanners think is a virus. I am terribly sorry about this. I will keep looking for a work around [hopefully also for when I have the new version out]

EXPIRED

Itx expired
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WINE GLASS:
Screenshots.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wesley-dw:
LMAO!

Fail with that expire thing!

FIX:

Change your system date to 2006.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WINE GLASS:
Or you could just install version 1.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I will admit...the expiration is just a comparison of dates. I didn't put a whole lot of time and effort into that code. Personally, I felt my time was better spent on the actual program itself. If you want to go out of your way to change the date on the phone, then by all means, do so. The date-restriction isn't there to stop you from using the program too much, it is there so that in the future, people don't use out-dated versions of the program.

When I believe I have reached a 'final version' I will not have a time-restriction on it, so people can continue to use it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] battlestar99:
Great

Super software.

In connection with a user-definable virtual keyboard shortcut (3 points on the display - A, B, C - for example: 1x A + 1x B + 1x A + 2x C define as the individual code) is an interesting alternative to existing applications.

With sound and auto-activation after a defined shutdown screen it would be not only a nice toy, but having a real sense. I'm already looking forward to further releases.

happy day

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pcfr34k:
Some ideas for the next release:

# wakeup -> Run Mode: Lock on wakeup

# screenoff -> Run Mode: Lock on screen off

showpost.php?p=4233192

And maybe a welcome sound, like: "Welcome back".

Can be done by typing in web text-to-speech engine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alhuang69:
I think "Stand-by trigger Lock Screen" or "Lock on Suspend" is the important point for replacing the original WM Screen Lock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pcfr34k:
Some feedback:

When I let someone try and get a UNRECOGNIZED PRINT, the number of scans to unlock change.

I have 3 times configured, and have to do 2 times after a UNRECOGNIZED PRINT.

Someone noticed this too?

Maybe a problem with the scan count reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
Been a little while since I checked on how your program is coming alone and I must say its looking bloody good. The display on my hd2 now looks fine. Keep up the good work and can't wait till it can be used like a real lock cos it will confuse the hell out of my girlfriend lol.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shivatink:
lockscreen

but y cant any one make the real finger print unlock screen than this fake one

and how come they made it for some basic os like nokia symbian
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
The one for the Nokia was also based on scans. It was not real, as far as I am aware.

I believe I had explained why a real one cannot be made in the original thread, which I linked to in the first post.

I removed it from "REMOVE PROGRAMS" but i still have the folder that had been created in Start->Programs... After installing version 1.5 ...i have 2 folders..."CycloneApps" (from the first one) and "CycloneApps(1) (from version 1.5). How can i remove the first folder?

Here is a screen.

Thank you.

eh, u have to go to ur file explore to look for ur windows, inside ur windows folder, find 1 folder call startmenu. you have to delete from there.

open file explore.

I am sorry to all people who are having issues with Un-Installation. I am building the cab really basically with Visual Studio's Cab-Builder. I thought it would uninstall everything I installed, but I suppose not.

I Will look into a solution to this for the next release (which is set for maybe 2 weeks? It depends. I really do need a C++ Developer's HELP!).

For now, this is the solution:

Open File Explorer

Navigate to /Windows/Start Menu

Delete CycloneApps Folder.

Simple, done :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Thank you WINE GLASS. I have gotten about 5 people so far to fill out the survey...Not what I was hoping for, seeing as the program has 600+ downloads....But its something :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Maybe I am getting the wrong impression here...but do I have 7 users who constantly re-download this app? Haha.

Please take a moment and fill out this survey! Please :) ?

I am sorry for not having released any updates, but I am working on a full conversion to C++! With customization like crazy [I got too lazy to program all the themes, so I'm making it so YOU can do it :D]. I am having a few set-backs, but By next week, I "promise' [although I really cannot because I probably will have another set-back].

I do promise that I will have another release by the 21st of July...[and since I might as well as say it]...that is the next expiration date for this program. That is the goal I set for myself a month ago :D

But really, do fill out that survey. I really love feedback so I can know [pre-release] what to put in the program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
This program has much potential and I appreciate the work your putting into this. Filled out your survey. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kliptik:
Looking forward to testing the next release!!! A couple quick notes after reading all of the old thread and the new one...

1) The default setup.dll for unintalling a CAB will ONLY remove the files/registry keys/etc. that were installed with the CAB. So if you're code changes any filenames, creates new files/reg keys, etc. you need to make a new setup.dll and set them up to remove them on uninstall. I sent you a link with a few details, but I just finished figuring out how to make this work properly, so you can PM me for code smaples if you want!

2) What about the idea of making the unlock based not only on the scan cout, but also on the finger location? Just like you said, the OS triangulates the center point of the most pressure, thus creating the "mouse click". If the user wereto set up the app to unlco kfor more pressure in the bottom-right quadrant... You could set it up by just getting the mouse location, and if it falls within the specified settings, thn it unlocks. I think the combination of scan count and pressure location would make it a little more "secure"

I had a couple others, but they've escaped me and i gotta run. Will post back soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I do like your Idea #2 :) And in the new C++ Core (or code, rather) of this program, it is easy to program that in!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] versario:
nice app, thank's to share..

but i hope can combine with lock on system windows
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aman11dhanpat:
its preety cool application

also as i think as the default lock appears if we use a pin code or password

there are some regestries entries and instructions for them in WINDOWS folder

so by over riding the values and binary files

we could easily provide it as default lock

i'ld like to discuss about to to cyclonezephyrxz7
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
@aman - Yeah, when I was still working on the C# version, I had come across a couple of registry entries that seemed to controls the phone's lock state (without actually running the lock i think). I will have to look more into that.

Unfortuneately, my WiFi router is busted, and I can't get internet on my main computer... :( So the release of the new version of FFP_LS may have to be delayed :( I AM TRYING MY HARDEST TO WORK WITHOUT THE HELP OF ONLINE NOTES!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xboxhaxorz:
looks great, works well and cannot wait till it replaced the wm screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mega_bite:
THanks.

Nice APP

Filed out your survey to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
@mega_bite & xboxhaxorz : Thank you :)

Sorry it has been quiet on this end. Internet is still down for the most part. I've been getting a good deal of work done. The customization tool for the next release is nearing completion, but is taking back-seat to debugging the actual LockScreen itself. Major RAM usage improvements have been made, as well as speed increases. The entire program can essentially be skinned (from Background to Signature). I am running into a few loading errors, but those should be fixed up relatively easily. If anyone is comfortable with RegQueryValueEX, I would welcome some help (That is causing a good deal of my problems).

With the release of this next version of FFP_LockScreen, I will be having 2 version: the Older C# version, dubbed as Basic, and the newer C++ Core, dubbed as Pro. Both pages will soon be up on my website: www.chicken-eggsolutions.com . [Visiting the site now is pretty useless, as it is not set up. My partner and I are working our hardest to get it ready for the release of FFP_LockScreen] But do check back to that website every so often. When I put it in my signature, that means the website is ready :)

Hopefully the skinning ability, and the fact that it will finally replace the default Windows LockScreen , will grab some attention, get the thread a bit more active with skinners, etc. In fact, to get some people started, attached to this post is a guide to customization. Each and every image that is used by the program. Its pretty straight forward. I would love to see some results :) With the release of FFP_LockScreen Pro, I will be including a default skin that will resemble that of FFP_LS Basic.

I don't even own a touch-screen phone, and i am excited about this haha :D [Which is my other limitation, I am testing it on a non-touch phone in combination with MyMobiler ... rather tough haha]

I hope this is a good status update for everyone. Keep on using this :) I promise for a release by next week (The 20th at the latest).

By the way: I am very happy to report that between XDA Forums and Freewarepocketpc.net downloads, This program has been downloaded roughly 15,000 Times !!! :D [How sad that only 16 people filled out the survey though.... that is 0.1% of people ... How disappointing...but I take joy in the quantity of downloads, and the amount of views this app has gotten]

Hey Everyone,

I am SO sorry about the expiration, and a new version not being uploaded :(

I was supposed to upload the new version on the 21st (day before expiration), but couldn't. All my work has been stalled (even the new version of FFP_LS) because my internet has been down for over a week and a half now. I am posting this message, currently, by barely grabbing on to my neighbors internet.

I should have an upload later today, however, if I don't, realize it is because of Internet Troubles.

Once again, I am VERY sorry to all the users for the inconvenience of this expiration coinciding with my internet issues.
