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..

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.

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks
bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks
I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
wisbar advance can do it
Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

I am using HTC touch can anyone please help me to make spb mobile shell as the default today screen i went to the posts of spb mobile shell but they are soooo big that i couldnt find anything.........all i want that spb interface to be my default today screen.... thanks in advance
You mean the 3 sided one where you can flip through?
You can't really have it as a today screen. You can however set it to display on wakeup so every time you turn on your phone it's there. And when you lock your phone it is also there.

no all i want is the first one the analog clock one with the weather and all plugins i dont need the spb menu and the speed dial contacts

This can be happen and after soft reset. Just edit the mobile shell's shortcut in the windows\startup folder with a file manager(I use total commander) and remove the "-noshow" option. If there is not exist an spb mobile shell shortcut, just create one from the executable.
The problem is that starts in launcher screen and not in Now, and I didn't find until now how to change this. Maybe there is a command line parameter but I don't know which is.
please sum1 only tell me how to bring the now screen (the analog clock one only) as the today screen i dont want anything else...........

you cant. search through the millions of mobile shell 2.0 threads. the closest thing you can do is that reg hack, or go to mobile shell settings and set the now screen to appear on device wake up. it cant be set as your today screen.
There is a shortcut to the Now screen. If you look where you can assign buttons it allows you to choose the Now screen. I am not sure where it is as an exucatable.
You can go to the Now screen with the "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Menulauncher.exe -now" command. You can assign it to a button, or a FTouchFlo gesture.
1.) Copy the "MobileShell.exe" application from \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell, and
2.) create a shortcut "Shortcut to MobileShell.lnk" in \windows\StartUp, then
3.) Perform a Soft reset.
Now the Mobile Shell Spb Menu (Application) screen auto loads after the soft reset. No Reg edit required for this...
I have not seen or heard of a Now Screen edit as of yet but I'm sure one of these great Programmer / Chefs has one in the works... Have you seen what they are doing so far?

The above mention instructions does not replace the Today Screen but only bypasses it after a reset. If you close MS2.0 at any time, it will take you back to the Today Screen. As far as I know, you can not totally replace your Today Screen.
Good luck and keep on reading... The XDA Google search function can do wonders....

Thanks for this! With this I achieve to make the device starts in now screen after soft reset with the help of mortscript.
I made a shortcut with above command, and after I write this script:
Code:
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe")
Sleep( 10000 )
Run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.lnk")
I put a shortcut of the script file in windows\startup folder and reset the device.
Now I have the now screen after every soft reset.
I modified the memwatcher sdk sample to launch spb now screen whenever user gets to today screen. Install the CAB file and every time when you return to today screen it'll quickly put you back at spb now screen.

God Job!
Be careful when using this cab.
I installed this tool on my german htc touch and now the device freezes all the time.
There is an error message saying " can`t open file MenuLauncher. Perhaps this file is not signed or one of its component is missing".
Then my device is showing the rotating icon for searching and doesn`t accept any input. How can i get rid of this without having to hardreset my htc ? After soft reset the device is still running in this error message, and active sync will not recognize my ppc to uninstall from there, so I need some help please.......
got the same problem on my german device.
any ideas to fix it?
@rod65
perform a softreset and boot in "safe-mode"... deinstallieren fertig...
Thank YOU!

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?

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.

Probably because it's not a sound file.

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,

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.
Hey guys,
I want to set the left shortkey at the TF3D-Peoples-Tab to start iContact. Is there a registrykey to modify this?
At the moment, i have to go to the dailer to start iContact

to whatever you want.
Have you managed to get iContact to work okay as I have found the text to be far too small to be useable.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will test it.
You have to install the VGA Version of iContact like Burts Edition:

And there are a lot of VGA-Skins, that look very nice on HD:

But at this regkey, you can only modify the shortkeys at the TF3D-Homescreen
I want to modify the left shortkey only at the Peoples-Tab. At the moment the is a shortcut to the "normal" WiMo-Contacts-App
+1 i'm also interested

Apologies. Now I have read what you want, I also want that!! I found a .cab file icontact v0.5 which was supposed to replace the registry entries to launch iContact but that hasn't worked on the HD and it appears that the registry layout is slightly different.

nobody has an idea on this ?
I think I found something to will be able to help in a close future but it not working for me
