Caller ID Text Size

Hello, I have a very poor vision and sometimes I can hardly read the ID of the incoming caller in my MDA PRO.
When I used my old Qtek 9090, the "caller ID" application let you decide the text size, now this feature is integrated in outlook, but I found no way to adjust this parameter...
Of course I have put the OS text size to its maximum, but I'd bette have it a little bigger..
Can you please help me? thanke

If I'm not mistaken, an application such as Tweaks2k2 can change the default font, although I'm not sure about the font sizes.
I know that Nyditot's rotate program has a nifty setting that will allow you to change the font size, exactly like the appearance tab in Windows. Bit much to buy the program just for that option, though.

Thanks a lot for answering, unfortunately none of the two applications is what I'm looking for, Nyditot magnifies the screen indeed, but I wish I had something only affecting the "dialer" aspect, in order to easily read the caller's number or name with a glance, Regarding the other application or pages I'd better levae them as they are..
I suppose there is something to tweak in the registry, or a "skin modifier" for the dialer, but I did not find anything like that so far..
for all the rest I love this PDA, I would neve go back to something without a real keypoard and such a wonder connectivity...

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..

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.

Full Screen Caller ID

Anyoner know of a program for Full Screen Caller ID?
I have used S2U2 and Photo Contact Pro, but the only reason I use them is for the caller ID. I would rather have a program just for a caller ID rather than install extra stuff I don't want.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
loki

Try the OPAL phones canvas which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430354 or with different color skins here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430768&highlight=phone+canvas

If you just want a full screen caller id, I'd recommend S2U2, which offers a real full screen caller id, with the option of "slide to answer".
Of course it comes with other functions as well, such as lock your device and volume control, but you can disable all those from the S2U2settings program.

Caller photo size

Hi there, I have a "problem" with the photo that appears when someone is calling. To be more specific, the size is very small. Is there an app that makes it bigger, like iphone for example?

You can use S2U2 and enable S2A (slide to answer).
Then you get full-screen photo and you need to use a Iphone-like slider to answer. Bonus is you won't answer accidentally anymore.
Hope this helps.
Search to find the app (is in the general software section, I think)

You need to enable Caller ID to Full Screen to get S2U2 to work with the Caller ID It's working really well on the Diamond. Might have a slight increase in speed if you disable the Diamond Dialer. But that's personal of course..

Yes S2U2 is the solution to your problem. Very handy application.
For you guys that use S2U2 do you have the weather info on S2U2 screen?
It worked for me once but not anymore

it works! thank you for the help...

After a day of tests, I found that with S2U2 installed, when someone calls me I cannot hang up. By pressing the hard button (or even the soft button when enables) it only mutes. Any idea?

U can use Inesoft Address Book (not free) to get big Picture
and u get better contact with photo too..

Use Diamond Tweak to disable it. Just changehone Pad Style, from Diamond to Windows Mobile Standard.
One setting above this you can disable the Ring Time delay.

S2A 480x640 picture
it would be great if S2A can use pictures from its own folder, because the standard pictures are very poor quality, what i mean is if i can prepare jpg pictures in 480x640 resolution of people from phone book, name these pictures like contacts in phone book or numbers and S2A will use them instead standard ones. anyone know is it possible?

I've noticed too that s2u2 caller pics look kind of blurry. Is there any solution?

Appointments on the Lockscreen

Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.

Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.

i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.

Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

Err, not true. The thread you want is in the Development & Hacking Forum. To download you need to access AC's website (the author) which is one of the download links within the relevant thread.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.

Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.
http://www.ac-s2.com/

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???

I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.

Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.

I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards

Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.

I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.

As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.

I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.
