will this version work on qvga (240x240)? i remember the last version wasn't soo......? lol

missing link
The program looks good and it feels good. Maybe I'll make a mistake but (MDA TOUCH, WM6) The phone button responds with a error (File not found \windows\vtkey.exe). Same error when trying to use the battery button, \windows\power.exe.
Is there a solution ?

Now all we need is an iphone like photo viewer, what you can navigate with your fingertips..
Any idea?

Yes its different for most devices/Os's so go into the \windows folder and find out which files do what and simply change the config1.txt file

NICE APP
Grumps,
VERY NICE APP. I am using it and it is great. Works well with S2U2 version too. My input for cometics only:
a. Can we put the operator name closer to the signal bar? This will allow room for other indicators such as Wifi and BT.
b. Can we have BT and Wifi indicator on the top bar? These two will make the SW going from COOL to WHOA!!!!!
Thanks and cant wait for your next release.

If i make it smaller it might say HSDPA Vodaco or something and ill hear more people crying? Any suggestions
And yes only QVGA, I dont have a VGA device to develop with sorry

This is a great app except...
There's no animation when you launch something. Or highlight. So sometimes you press again while waiting for something to start up.
Can we please get some sort of feedback when it's accepted the fact you pressed a button? Not sure how this works on the fruit based phone but I'm sure there should be some feedback.
Thanks.

ok just want to say great app.
here are some suggestion for you on the next version.
add scrolling to the app so if you want to add more icons on one page you can.
let it pick up default icons from the programs so you don't have to waste anytime on picking an icon for it. (but you can if you want too.)
scroll with finger to go right or left to go to the next page.
i have some other ideas and i would like to share it with you. if you are interested please P.m.
thanks,

the changelog says it has animations now. I just can't see any. What is meant by "animation added"?
Great work anyways.
BTW: Being able to scroll only one of the horizontal lines from left to right would be great, for, let's say, less important apps. So you have 3 rows of static buttons and just one row that can be scrolled by finger gestures... Saw that on iPhone, looked amazing...

I Concur
IMO, it would be great to have a scrolling launch page. Either horizontal or vertical. Also, annimation and vibrate with icon color change to reflect program choice.
Does the calendar icon keep up with the actual date??
Thanks,
CG

Thanks for such a GREAT app - assigned a button to it and it works like a charm. I do have one question \ request: is it possible to move the title bar elements up a bit? I use an app to hide the Windows Start bar and the softkeys (it is one of Vijay's tools) and your app then acts as my home page for most running applications (there are a few exceptions but overall it works great). The only issue is that the elements on your app (clock, battery, signal indicator, etc.) are a little low (2 pixels or so) so things look a little "off". I was hoping it was or could be a user changable setting.
Please don't take this as a complaint! Your app, combined with S2U2 provide an excellent UI experience. Thanks again for such excellent work.

Good idea to assign it to a button, I was trying to figure out how to integrate it better as a complete solution. Only problem is that on the Touch there is only really one button I can use and I was using it for the Full Screen Keyboard and to hold it down to get voice dial. I'm sure I'll work something out though.
I saw the link in the first post talking about how to get the .lnk files right and I assume that means for the Phone/Calc/etc which do not have .exes that I can easily find. I'll do some research to get that working.
Thanks for a great app!

Thanks for the info

Grumps,
Thanks for the info. I can see the name is an issue. If it is moved left align one space right after the signal strength then it will be good even with the longer operator name. If it is done that way, then if the BT and WiFi indicators are needed, that is when they are turned on, then they can be arranged to the left of the clock. These will cover the last portion of the long operator name but I think it will be acceptable because many things operate in the same manner due to the fact that there is not enough space for everything.
Thanks again for this VERY NICE APP. IT ROCKS!

New Ideas for S2U2 Settings....

I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!

theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.

lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.

I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.

an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..

TacoLoco said:

Click to expand...

there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.

icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?

just turn off task count in s2u2 settings

S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.

guap,
where is the task count located?

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks

I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.

It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.

Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????

Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.

Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!

If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!

Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.

The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

New Landscape Today Screen

Hi,
I have posted this in the General Kaiser section but I guess it has been totally disregarded.
I know that there is an issue with landscape using programs such as Manilla2D. Instead of trying to reprogram and re-icon everything on there, I purpose we do this.
We know that on the Tilt, when you slide out the keyboard, a "program/registry" on there invokes a file to play a sound. Why don't someone write a small program where, instead of invoking a .wav file, when you slide open the keyboard, you start SecondToday? So when you open, SecondToday kicks in and shows you a homescreen that you can customize, and when you slide keyboard back in, it opens SecondToday again so that Manilla2D is show in portrait?
Any thoughts?
Rytt

Its a smart idea, but I'm pretty sure that'll just slow the device down beyond anything and before you know it- you'd regret opening the phone

What's supposed to happen if your trying to type a text message?
If this is the case, everytime you open the keyboard, the new home screen will appear.

I rather have a functioning homescreen then a half cropped one. I would do it but I have no idea how to go about it. As it stands now, there is no solution to Manilla2D or any other today screen except a long time reworking the coding.
Someone who can write this little program can always have an option to not display SecondToday unless you are in the Today screen.
Anyways, i have tried installing Secondtoday, copied the file into \Windows and changed the sliding sound from 0.wav to SecondToday.exe and it did not work.

I know, but the sliding event is set to play a sound file, not run an executible file.

as for the memory, I am running both Manilla2d and weatherpanel with the looping animated icons via secondtoday. It takes a little longer to load from a reset/first boot, but after that I switch between both today screens nearly instantaneously. I actually think you're on to something here. Dunno about other devices, but for us Kaiser owners, this could be something to look into - even if it turns out to be little more than proof of concept.

Wouldn't that effectively mean you have loaded all the plugins twice in the memory. Seems like a good concept, but the useable practicality of it is outweighed by the mem hogging / slowness it would produce imho.

Just look at this guys.
Touch Dual have this 'option'. when you slide out the keyboard it runs the HTC acton screen. nearly same thing does Raphael. So i think its just a matter of good registry tweaking here. Or maybe doing a small program for that. Just an idea.
You could look up the TouchDual.
Cheers,
Chris

ThrottleLauncher can do it.
Load the current ThrottleLauncher TF3D today screen. It has a completely different landscape setup (lots of create new email type buttons). Once you've established what your after, you can edit the XML files to create your own Today screens

Perhaps you should re-read the first quote.
Manilla2D was given as an exemplar of what one might do with a landscape today screen. The question was not limitted to this package. ThrottleLauncher is a perfect solution.

wouldn't any of this cause the screen orientation to take longer to switch?

Finally!
I am glad that some of you are thinking this is an great idea!
I hope it'll be pretty easy to come up with something like SecondToday. I don't mind it being slow but sitting at my computer looking at a messed up today erks me lol.

15 Tab Icon Sets

This thread is to share your 15 tab icon sets. I didnt create any of the icons, I just sized them and put them together in the manilla files (see my screenshot below). If you like them just run the cab on you HD.
** Update 12/6/2008 ***
Added a game systems icon set. These are icons of game consoles (NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS3 etc.) I will add a screenshot later. THey dont match up with anything specific to your phone function lol, just cool icons.
For icons that do not have a cab pelase follow TTDeg's advice for installing in the quote below:
TTDegs said:
This is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...) <<Mallman prefers 128x128 on both so the sizes dont change but that is just a preference>>
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

come on guys and gals, put together some sets of icons for mallman to install

Hi Mallman,
Slightly off topic could you tell me if you managed to modify your additional tabs to be duplicates of the "Program" tab?
I've not installed them yet as I'm trying to ascertain whether it is possible. What would be ideal (for me) is to have 3 or 4 additional "Program" tabs that could be renamed so that I could add my applications / settings / tools etc. (i.e something approaching the menu panel/s in sbp mobile shell).
Judging by your icons I think not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Let me know.
Cheers.

no sir, sure havent because i have absolutely no idea where to start If i were to try it I would simply copy the program tab and rename it to one of the other tabs but I dont know that it is that simple nor do I know if each tab is actually just 1 file. You should start a new thread dediacted to just that topic and have some folks brainstorm it. I will join in the fun

Cab in post #1 for this Linux icon set.

can t copy files
i tried to copy them to my /windows folder but my computer say i cant cause its protected or something. Anybody has a solution for this?

download total commander and copy them from your phone. dont use your pc to copy them to the /windows folder, use your phone to copy them

LMAO, thank you I find it strangely addictive. I hope the work I have done is helping you. Simply unzip the files I have posted and you an "open path" with manil editor and see all the files and what they match up too in the TF3D interface. Get a good handle on it because I want to install some of your creations as we My goal is to completely overhaul all the graphics. Just takes lots of testing changes of manila files. Not hard, just time consuming

hmmm - this is harder than it looks! LOL
I'm having problems getting nice clean lines on the edges of my pics
What res are you saving them as before converting to manilas?
I went with creating a 128x128 pixel .png file
Dumped in the icon to pretty much fill it - which looks good at 1:1 view in paint shop pro, and saved that as the big version.
Then resized to 50%, pasted that into a new 128x128 .png, and saved that as the small version.
But when I convert to manila, then drag to my HD and restart TF3D, the icon in the tabflo looks good, the bigger verson (when you drag over it) just looks 'ok', and the biggest version (middle of the main screen) looks frankly pretty poor

Then resized to 50%, pasted that into a new 128x128 .png, and saved that as the small version.
But when I convert to manila, then drag to my HD and restart TF3D, the icon in the tabflo looks good, the bigger verson (when you drag over it) just looks 'ok', and the biggest version (middle of the main screen) looks frankly pretty poor

I am using 128x128 exclusively. Some pics I get are not sized that way so I just change them in photoshop to 128x128. I also use PS to make transparency. Post a few screeners showing what you mean becuse im a little slow and having a hard time following what you are describing

my bad
My last step was to set the transparency, and the option I was using to go down to 256 colours was resulting in some jagged edges (couldn't see them in PS).
Working better now - will plow on now I know where I was going wrong LOL
cheers again!
I can confirm however that this isn't going to be up to production standards just yet...

Pretty close now...
mallman, could you please confirm the manila name for the small stock icon?
I've updated 34588a9a, but it's the only one which is still displaying the previous (std) icon instead of one of my new ones?

haha i know your pain. No i cant actually because i gave up tryign to figure it out when i finally just updated 4 manila files and of those 4 the icon was changed. i didnt feel like doing the research of replacing them again to figure out which actually did it. I resolved myself to just changing 4 files when i want to update the stock icon I know, im a slack ass but that is just how I roll

LOL!
ok.............

Thought I had it - but I don't.
small icons are 64x64, not 128x128.
And I thought I'd sussed which one was used in the main screen...
And my stock one was right up to the edge...
resized everything, dumped it all back in.
And now it looks worse - the background icons (small ones I think) are resized to bigger than my big ones.
and the stock STILL doesn't work right.
and it's midnight.
So I'm off to bed before I end up staying up till silly o'clock LOL

Hi.
Could those icons themes be used for the standard tabs?. I haven't installed the 15 tab set (well I tried, but I finally didn't like how it looks), so I keep the standard tabs.
I suppose that if I install those iconsets the new icon will appear in the standard tabs anyway....
Thanks.

yes (I think), and no...
I haven't tried, so I can't confirm that they will - but as I've been replacing the manila files left right and centre, of the 30 I've replaced, most of them gave a 'the file you are replacing is part of the ROM, are you sure?' message.
Which I take to mean that they are the ones used by standard TF3D.
The extra files just won't be used
I can't see any reason not to try it - but as ever, I would suggest taking a backup of the manila files you are about to replace, just in case

In the interim, whilst trying not to give into temptation to pull the rest of my hair out, this is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...)
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

*****Note the Big Sock icon might not be right - it's the only one which doesn't seem to display when I change it, but I'm still playing - might be the icon I'm trying to use...

[THE] TP2 TF3D Neon Tabs - v1.2a [10-06-2009] - Coming back - Soon

TF3D Neon Tabs Theme
Still development in progress but so far I have managed to get the actual TF3D tabs to be in a type of "Neon" scheme.
I will be working heavily on this trying to go through all icons in TF3D making them Neon so there will be many updates to follow making this simply perfect.
Feedback more than welcome and opinions probably will be worked in.
Please note, people have confirmed this works on....
-- Touch Pro 2
-- Touch Diamond 2
-- Touch HD
If you do try this on any other phone, please let me know the outcome, I should be able to adapt the files to work on any phone in theory
The Cab file is fully un-installable so if you don't like them, just remove the program in Remove Programs and you're back to normal.

There is no need to extract the file, it's a cab anyway.
Just copy the file to your phone and open it -it installs itself.

Beautiful!
Thankz!

Hope you all like them.
I'm going to be working on the lot in 'All People' tonight, so hopefully should have an update later.
Also going to be working on the actual button on the base, any ideas from anyone how you'd want it to look?

The slide part, the button that you hold to move and slide, the "block". Can't think what its called but its the rectangle block that you slide from left to right.

Ahh ok, you mean the slider .
I'm already using Lucarp's transparent slider.
I've attached it, so you can have a look for yourself what it does.

Here's a screenshot of the slider if you don't want to install it

Looks good, I want it to be a bit narrower though I think, not 100% sure yet, haven't made my mind up. Think I'll have a play around and might incorporate it in my icon set.

Update
Updated icons to include people section and also added transparent slider and transparent bottom curtains in so no need for extra installs.

Nice Icon's
Very nice work!...Would love to use these with my Touch HD!!

I can do them for the Touch HD too if needed. I just need the manila files uploading somewhere if someones prepared to do it?
Have you tried it on the HD? It might just work...?

I will try them out tomorrow and give you an update! Again, they look great! Cheers to your fine work!

Hi there, just want to say it works on my Touch HD Unfortunately I am using a chinese rom (Devilstone v3.7 with TouchFLO 34 2.1.38158.2), so I am not too sure if it will work with other cooked romr, just give it a try I guess~
Here are the screenshots:
This is just the theme itself (with Lucarp78TS.cab)
And this is the transparent both cab (I uninstall Lucarp78TS.cab)

Looks awesome on my TP2. Thanks dude, good job.
