Hey guys,
Just updated to v0.86... if your device was black out while running the old S2U2 version, time for you to test this version now... but take your own risk...
- added option DirectDraw to let S2U2 & Settings run in DirectDraw mode for those devices that cannot run S2U2 probably. But there is still a limitation: they cannot be started in Landscape mode.
1. make sure your device is in Portrait mode
2. create a shortcut for "s2u2 Settings.exe"; add -ddraw command switch (or you may use the installed file "s2u2 Settings(dd).lnk", but it assumes the installed path is \Program Files\S2U2")
3. run it
4. check option "Direct Draw" (at the bottom) is turned on
5. save the settings & run S2U2
- when CallerID is enabled & the screen is locked, after an incoming call finished, the call elapsed time will be displayed for 5 seconds

Readme First
READ ME FIRST BEFORE YOU POST YOUR QUESTIONS
S2U2 is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device. And it's has a CallerID function.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: ~ 1M for QVGA; ~ 3M for VGA
Installation:
- If you have Slide2Unlock installed, please uninstall it first & then soft-reset.
- After installation, there are 3 shortcuts created under \Program Files\S2U2:
iLock2.lnk - start/stop ilock2.exe (on the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock2 & S2U2)
s2u2.lnk - manually start S2U2 (be sure iLock2 is running in the background, otherwise the Battery status will not be updated).
s2u2 Settings.lnk - change the settings of S2U2.
s2u2 Settings(dd).lnk - change the settings of S2U2, but run in DirectDraw mode.
- A shortcut for iLock2.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
- Installation on Storage Card is not supported (for the sake of stability).
- There are 2 clock font files for selection - clock.zip (default) & clockH.zip. How to use?
1. stop iLock2
2. delete those files under \GFX\Clock (under the installed folder)
3. copy the extracted files to \GFX\Clock
4. start iLock2
- For hi-res devices, please extract files (follow the above steps) from either vclock.zip or vclockH.zip & copy them to \GFX\Clock under the installed path. Otherwise the clock will be shown as half-sized.
- For non-English devices, d/l the S2U2LanguagePack.rar; extract your language's ini file; rename it to lang.ini; copy to the S2U2 installed folder; restart iLock2
Configuration: (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. Please remember to RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings changed, otherwise it won't work):
- use the "s2u2 Settings.exe" to change the settings.
- Through the lang.ini, the 3 default selections of DateFormat & TimeFormat can be customised. They are s_DefaultDateFormat1~3 & s_DefaultTimeFormat1~3.
- For advanced users, you can edit the registry directly. The default values are added on the first run of iLock2:
ACBlankOnTalk=0
ACBlankScreen=0
ACIdleStart=0
ACOffLCD=0
AppointmentTimeFormat=h':'mmt
Autostart=1
BlankOnTalk=0
BlankScreen=0
CallerID=0
DateFormat=dddd', 'd MMMM
DirectDraw=0
DpadOn=0
IdleStart=0
NoPowerSuspend=0
OffLCD=17
PhoneNoFormat=
SafeMode=0
ShowAlarm=1
ShowAppointment=0
ShowTask=1
Slide2Answer=0
TimeFormat=H':'mm
- All files under \GFX\ can be modified. To keep the transparent effect of some graphics, the top left corner pixel must be the transparent color.
Command Switch of iLock2:
iLock2.exe accepts the following command switches:
-slide to start/invoke S2U2
-nomsg to not to show any message even it closes itself & S2U2
-refresh to reload the registry settings & restart S2U2
Known limitations & FAQs:
- How to change wallpaper?
- Create a jpg file with resolution the same as your device (QVGA is 240 x 320; VGA is 480 x 640); rename it to "wallpaper.jpg"; copy it to the gfx folder (default is \program files\s2u2\gfx\); restart iLock2. And the file "wallpaperL.jpg" is for the Landscape mode.
- How to edit the registry?
- You need 3rd party software like "Task Manager" & "Total Commander". Try to google them & they are very user friendly apps.
- After changing the registry settings, iLock2/S2U2 do not behave as instructed??
- Pls RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings is made.
- If "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at wake up, S2U2 may cause the screen flicker?!
- Pls disable these functions. Besides, it'll break the CallerID function!
- When system notifications come in (e.g. SMS, email or alarm...), S2U2 will be unlocked?!
- Yes, otherwise you will not be notified. But S2U2 will reappear after these notifications are dismissed.
- My device's special Keys are not blocked by S2U2?! (e.g. HTC Touch, the camera key on some devices...)
- This is a device specific problem that cannot be resolved.
- The quality of the CallerID pic is so bad even the original photo is in high quality?!
- DO NOT use the system contact to add photo to a contact. Use other s/w like Inesoft Address Book or PocketCM to do so.
- How to mute an incoming call when CallerID is enable?
- PRESS the volume up/down keys.
- After soft-reset, the first call's callerID is not shown sometimes?
- It's an OS issue, no solution yet.
- How to restore the system caller tab?
- set CallerID to 0 or uninstall S2U2, then soft-reset.
- Some keys are not blocked?
- Please check if you have installed any key mapping s/w that will break S2U2.
- My device shows a blank/black screen on start? (SX66, Xda IIs (Blue Angel / Himalaya))
- It's not compatible with S2U2. It's a h/w problem. Try to turn on the DirectDraw option:
1. make sure your device is in Portrait mode
2. create a shortcut for "s2u2 Settings.exe"; add -ddraw command switch (or you may use the installed file "s2u2 Settings(dd).lnk", but it assumes the installed path is \Program Files\S2U2")
3. run it
4. check option "Direct Draw" (at the bottom) is turned on
5. save the settings & run S2U2
- Some of my scheduled tasks did not run as schedule, but it'll start when manually turn on the device?
- Try to set OffLCD longer (17 seconds or more).
- Some of my device's background jobs (like email sync or bluetooth connection) stopped unexpectedly when S2U2 is running?
- Try to enable NoPowerSuspend.
- NOT Compatible s/w: AEButton, WA3, RealVGA
Trouble shooting:
If you find your device is hang with a blank screen or no response with any key or screen-touch, you may not need to reset it. Please follow these steps if your device has a camera button:
- press the camera button to invoke the built-in camera program
- press the end call button to go back to Today screen
- use Task Manager (a third party freeware; highly recommended) to close the S2U2.EXE
Special Thanks:
- Forum fellows at xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com). Thank you for your testings, comments, supports & patience.
1st that looks awsome, thank you A_C
Sweet! A configurator integrated and produced by A_C. Thank's man. You've made a lot of lives easier today.
Hey I always wait for a new version of this perfect software. I love the way it integrates itself with WM6, as if it is a part of Microsoft.
THanxs ......nice upgarde
Possible Bug?
Every time I want to invoke this version of S2U2 it closes itself without fully opening up.
This was a clean install. Something wrong?

I have the same problem too. I can't seem to start S2U2. I am using o2 Atom black with WM5
多谢 A_C，辛苦啦！
我下载了0.80版本，但主程序 S2U2.exe 才显示0.73。而且加载了ChineseSimplified
的lang.ini文件，但 飞行模式 还是显示英文 FlightMode 。
对不起，我不会英文，见谅！
App closes itself down automatically upon launch (s2u2.exe), does not matter if the config was edited or not...
Safe mode feature does not help in this case.

Google translation of previous post, maybe someone had this issue too:
"Thank A_C, hard!
I downloaded 0.80 version, but the main program S2U2.exe only showed 0.73. But loading the ChineseSimplified
The lang.ini documents, but still showed that flight patterns English FlightMode."
Looks like we do have a bug on our hands...
Soft-resets didn't work. Overwrite installation didn't work either. So something has to be wrong with... something about it (I'm no programmer...)
Sorry, not work in my device Universal (WM6).
Installed in MainMemory => run iLock2.exe firts, run s2u2.exe but nothing happen!
I don't know why?!

This app contains a bug and closes itself down upon launch, it was mentioned in the posts above yours. Waiting for A_C to report it...
Also it is incompatible with Real VGA (that might be your problem).

- added option GifEndless to allow endless playback of GIF wallpaper (be warned to charge your device).

(I really like this rat... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1755707&postcount=323)
- hard coded some devices not to use DirectDraw. If your device's screen goes black after DirectDraw is enabled, follow these steps:
1. pretend there is a slider on the screen; try to slide to unlock
2. stop iLock2
3. there is a iLock2.log file created under the S2U2 installed path (e.g. \Program Files\S2U2\); post it to the xda forum, I'll black list this device not to use DirectDraw in the next release
4. edit the registry; go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2; set DirectDraw to 0
5. run iLock2 & S2U2
- fixed the GIF playback will continue after the device wakes up.
- fixed the issue of showing blurred over-sized Wallpapers.
- fixed when S2A is enabled, the Answer key was not locked on some devices.
- fixed sometimes the weather info would not be updated for HTC Weather.
- changed some wordings of "s2u2 Settings.exe".
- some bugs fixed.
Cheers,
A_C

- added option to display an Analog Clock (clockA\).
(From left to right: clockH\, clockHS\ & clockA\)
- added ARGB PNG format support to all graphics files.
- added ShowWeather to retrieve today's weather forecast from other weather applications. For UserWeather, you have to manually update the registry key UserWeather (STRING) under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. The format is "icon|index|high temp|low temp" where icon is S, P or W.
- added SIM card support to CallerID.

(Edit the Registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, add a key ExceptionEXE0 (STRING) with the name of the application (e.g. iexplore.exe). A total of 10 (0-9) ExceptionEXE can be added. Then restart iLock2.)
- fixed the issue that DirectDraw could not be used when the device is in Landscape.
- fixed the issue when S2A is enable, the BT headset button did not work.
- fixed the issue when "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled.

I'm quite excited about this release. Not only because a lot of features are added, it now can read ARGB PNG format graphic files. Meaning that you can tailor S2U2 even further through different level of opacities, and I'm expecting more themes from you guys in the near future.
Merry Christmas!

A. Try to set OffLCD longer (17 seconds or more) or add it to the ExceptionEXE list as below.
Q. How to configure S2U2 not start when some applications are running?
A. Edit the Registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, add key ExceptionEXE0 (STRING) with the name of the application (e.g. iexplore.exe). A total of 10 (0-9) ExceptionEXE can be added. Then restart iLock2.
Q. My GIF file does not shown?
A. Currently, there seems to be a limitation to the size of the GIF file. Sometimes, even your device has enough free RAM, it still cannot be shown. Recommended to reduce the dimension (not the file size) & no. of frames of the GIF, then try again.
Q. The GIF animation stopped after a certain period?
A. Turn on the GifEndless option.
Q. I've set up a folder of GIF files & set the Wallpaper point to that folder, but S2U2 shows nothing?
A. Wallpaper(L) folder only supports JPG files.
Q. When ShowWeather set to HTC Weather, it does not show any icon?
A. You're probably running a custom-made HTC Home plugin. Try to figure out where the plugin is installed (e.g. \HTCHome\), then copy all HH_Weather_XXsmall.png files to \Windows\. Restart iLock2.
Q. There is no registry key called UserWeather in my device?
A. Create it (as STRING) by yourself.
Q. How to make use of UserWeather?
A. You have to manually update the registry key UserWeather (STRING) under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. The format is "icon|index|high temp|low temp" where icon is S, P or W (Spb Weather, Pocket Weather or Weather Panel).
Schettj has created a MortScript to update it through Yahoo's weather, details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358952
Q. Why there is no current weather info shown?
A. Because S2U2 only shows TODAY's FORECAST info from other weather applications.
Q. When getting temperature (in Celsius) from HTC, there is always 1 degree discrepancy?
A. That's the bug of HTC when converting the readings from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
- NOT Compatible s/w: AEButton Plus, RealVGA
Special Thanks:
- Forum fellows at xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com). Thank you for your testings, comments, supports & patience.
I can't wait to test it, too.
Very good job, A_C!
Marshall
DUDE THIS IS AWESOME!!!! testing now...
nice Christmas present indeed...
what an evolution.
Great many thanks, mate... very good job
Wow, it's great to hear from you again!
Tnx, for this xmas gift!
Thanks ..... Great Work brother
I stopped checking the v0.86 thread hoping that there'll not be smthhng new. But here ur with a new version.
works great it totally kicks ass!!! it uses my sbsh weather to put the waether up on the front as well... great work!!!
anyone know where we can find some good .gif that are 240x320
Can you explain me, what S2AEndKey does?
I expected, that it makes that the red phone button has no function while S2U2 is running.
I tried it with holding the button. Usually this should disconnect the GPRS connection. It doesn't matter, what value it has (1 or 0) but the button disconntects GPRS all the time.
Has the S2AEndKey an other function or did something went wrong?
Anyway this is a nice update. THX!
Amazing.
wonderful changes and awesome program. can I donate bandwith or anything to the development to this? Ihave a few servers at data centers all over th us. let me know.
Damn, what a great Release
If I want to use png clock files.
How should they be named? same name as jpg?
What files do S2U2 prefer if .jpg and .png is in the folder?
edit, ok they are already png files
stupid me...
You are THE MAN!!!! This is as close to perfection as I can think of....I will test later, but I can't think of one other think I could ask for, or need in this app!!!!!
Merry Christmas A_C, I appreciate your gift to us, and another donation will be sitting under your tree!!!!!!!
Thanks again!!!!!!
Thank you very much! This is much more stable on my i760 then v.81.
Great work. Love it.
my device hangs whenever I run the app or the settings. I get a black screen, then when I power the device off then back on, I get the proper image (whether it be s2u2 or the settings) but there is no response to screen taps or hardware buttons. I had the previous version of s2u2 working perfectly and uninstalled it prior to the new installation, I also soft reseted. im using a sprint vogue btw

I just turned off the directdraw in the registry and restarted ilock2, works again. Guess direct draw is enabled by default this time.
Hey guys,
After the situation happened in the last thread, I'm so glad to tell you that the development is resumed. S2P now simply uses the device's built-in music decorder WMP.
What is S2P?
S2P(Slide2Play) is my third S2 series application. S2P is a stylus-free MP3/WMA player application. It simply lets you browse your music files & play.

- Under your PC/MAC/device, extract the content of the downloaded file & copy the CAB file to your device.
- Under your device, run any File Explorer application; go to the folder where the CAB file is copied; run the CAB file.
Operations:
- Since S2P simply scans music files in your storage card, it's suggested to have your music files well organized by folders. So that you can browse your music files through the folders instead of a plain list. (e.g. \Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3)
- When browsing, press the folder name to list all music files under that folder, including subfolders; or press the arrow button to list the subfolders.
- Press any one of the filename to play.
- To go back to the music file list, press the top left back button.
- To view the current album list, press the top right icon. Then press any one on the list to play that music.
- To go back to the single music view, press the top right icon again.
- On the single music view, tap the screen to call up the timeline. Press the left repeat icon to repeat the current playing album; press the right shuffle icon to play the whole music list randomly. When both icons are on, only the current album will be played randomly.
- Under the music playback screen, slide up or down the left or right side edge of the album art will change to the Album View screen in Landscape mode. To go back to the normal playback screen, slide up or down the left or right side edge of the album art.
- Under the music playback screen, double tap the album title area will change to the Album View screen in Portrait mode. To go back to the normal playback screen, double tap the album title area again.
- The hardware keys are:
ANSWER - quit
END/OK - minimize
Vol Up/Down or DPAD Up/Down - volume control
DPAD Action - play/pause
DPAD Left/Right - previous/next
Left/Right soft key - previous/next album
Power/Record - turn screen off

Lets try...
THANKS.
You're da man!!!
Many Thanks For Your Great Work!!
Strange....
This version doesn't open on my HTC P3600 (WM 6).
0.17 works well.
Any suggestion?
Obs: I'm using S2U 0.98.
All RIGHT! Thanks for everything you've done
EDIT: Yeah, sorry dude, but I've got the same thing happening... VZW700wx. It won't start. Just says S2P for the current open application on the taskbar
EDIT2: v.32 is working beautifully
Dont start!
Hey there!
Also does not start on my Himalaya.........
Tried soft resetting!
Thanks for your great software!
i`m squirt
A_C
A_C, you are the best programmer out there. Thanks for another good application.
Thanks for program,but and on my RoverPC (Amoi) does not start.
Wow, great release!
Damn this is some solid piece of programming, PROPS!
Suggestion
For the next version, can you make it so that you can sync your iTunes library?
Lumen was going to do that, but it looks like that project is dead. You are the fastest and best developer, any chance that that can happen soon? It would be really cool. Thanks A_C.

What devices do you guys have that is working?
works perfectly for me on my HTC mogul...
great software!
WOW!
A_C you're great...it incredible...but I Loved That full Screen album art that takes all-over the places...all the toolbars are transparent so the artwork could be seen...is it possible to view the playback-artwork that much big again?
tnx anyway...you're the man you know
M.A.S., ^^rac, xd1936 & EvgeniyKo
I need further info:
- OS version
- WMP version
- how many songs stored? where?
Try a soft-reset. If still not work, try to delete the registry tree \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\ and start S2P again.
Thanks.
won't start
per usual great work, but wont start on glofish M700 wm6.1
This program is truely awesome. Besides of the player as whole, I really like the idea of sliding up/down on the images to see the coverflow (which is working very well). I guess the iPod does not do it like this due to its gyrothingies our HTCs lack, so I thought I'd mention this and give an extra "bravo"
Everything is running pretty good on my HTC Touch Cruise.
Big thumbs up!
Thanks very very much, a donation will surely follow
It doesn't start on my I-Mate JAMA.........while the last S2P 0.17 works well
however thanks for your job, great as always!!!

Known limitations & FAQs:
General
Q. Do I have to install the old version before using this version?
A. No.
Q. How to use the .CAB file?
A. http://www.google.com/search?q=install+cab
Q. My device shows a blank/black screen when run S2U2 or "s2u2 Settings"?
A. It's not compatible with S2U2. It's a h/w problem. Try to turn ON or OFF the DirectDraw option:
1. stop iLock2
2. edit the registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find the key DirectDraw
3. set it to 0 or 1 (depending on which mode it doesn't work, set an opposite value)
4. start iLock2 & S2U2
Q. How to hide the Date or the Time?
A. Set the DateFormat or TimeFormat to blank; restart iLock2.
Q. How to edit the registry?
A. You need 3rd party software like "Task Manager" & "Total Commander". Try to google them & they are very user friendly apps.
Q. After changing the registry settings, iLock2/S2U2 do not behave as instructed??
A. Pls RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings is made.
Q. S2U2 always run unexpectedly?
A. Try to disable the IdleStart.
Q. S2U2 suddenly does not start automatically?
A. Check if there is any applications which are included in the ExceptionEXE list are running in the foreground.
A. If you have installed Battery Status, disable the "show Today Screen after wake up".
A. if you have installed Ultimate Launcher, disable "activate plugin on start up".
Q. S2U2 consumes a lot of power?!
A. Make sure there is no music player running in the background.
Q. If "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at wake up, the screen may go ALL BLACK?!
A. Tap the screen to refresh the screen.
Q. When system notifications come in (e.g. SMS, email or alarm...), S2U2 will be unlocked with a black background?!
A. Yes, otherwise you will not be notified. But S2U2 will reappear after these notifications are dismissed.
Q. S2U2 shows the wrong no. of unread SMS/MMS/email/vmail?!
A. It's a device specific problem. You may reset these counts by:
1. stop iLock2
2. run iLock2 -reset
3. start iLock2
A. You may use the ResetUnreadCount.cab to reset these unread counts.
Q. My device's special Keys are not blocked by S2U2?! (e.g. the camera key on P525 & P535...)
A. This is a device specific problem that cannot be resolved.
A. Please check if you have installed any key mapping s/w that will break S2U2.
Q. I can still activate "Touch Flo" even S2U2 is locked?!
A. Exclude S2U2.exe in the "Touch Flo" setting either by edit the \Windows\Touch Flo\FTouchFloConfig.txt
or edit the registry: go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Disable4SpecificApp; add new key called "S2U2"; in the folder for this Key, add new string value "ClassName" = "S2U2"; softreset the device.
Q. Some of my device's background jobs (like email sync or bluetooth connection) stopped unexpectedly when S2U2 is running?
A. Try to enable NoPowerSuspend.
Q. What is NoPowerSuspend?
A. There is a few options in S2U2 to set when to suspend your device's power. If NoPowerSuspend is set to 1, these options will all be disabled.
Q. What is SafeMode?
A. S2U2 runs in special mode called "unattended mode" so that everytime the power button is pressed, it'll start in the background. If SafeMode is set to 1, S2U2 will not run in "unattended mode".
Q. Some of my scheduled tasks did not run as schedule, but it'll start when manually turn on the device?
A. Try to set OffLCD longer (17 seconds or more) or add it to the ExceptionEXE list as below.
Q. How to configure S2U2 not to start when some applications are running?
A. Edit the Registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, add key ExceptionEXE0 (STRING) with the name of the application (e.g. iexplore.exe). A total of 10 (0-9) ExceptionEXE can be added. Set ExceptionEXEisFG to 1 for checking it's running in foreground only; while set to 0 for checking it's running in foreground or background. Then restart iLock2.
Q. The ShowAppointment does not show all my today's appointments?
A. Yes, only ONE appointment (the closet) & ONE day event will be shown.
CallerID
Q. Does the CallerID support Video Call?
A. No.
Q. The CallerID function does not work on my device?!
A. Since there are a lot variables between different devices/environment, it's possible that the CallerID does not work. So if it's the case, disable the CallerID. Otherwise you may don't know who is calling you.
Q. The quality of the CallerID pic is so bad even the original photo is in high resolution?!
A. DO NOT use the system contact to add photo to a contact. Use S2V (Slide 2 View) or PocketCM to do so.
Q. How to mute an incoming ring/vibration when CallerID is enable?
A. Press the Volume Up/Down or DPAD Up/Down keys.
Q. After soft-reset, sometimes the first call's callerID is not shown?
A. It's an OS issue, no solution yet.
Q. How to restore the system caller tab?
A. Set CallerID to 0 or uninstall S2U2, then soft-reset.
Q. "Slide to Answer" does not work?
A. Firstly, the CallerID must be enable & it works on your device. Secondly, the "Slide to Answer" screen will only appear when your device is locked already by S2U2. Otherwise it only shows a normal CallerID screen.
Wallpaper
Q. How to change wallpaper?
A. Create a jpg file with resolution the same as your device (QVGA is 240 x 320; VGA is 480 x 640); rename it to "wallpaper.jpg"; copy it to the gfx folder (default is \program files\s2u2\gfx\); restart iLock2. And the file "wallpaperL.jpg" is for the Landscape mode.
Q. My GIF wallpaper does not shown?
A. Currently, there seems to be a limitation to the size of the GIF file. Sometimes, even your device has enough free RAM, it still cannot be shown. Recommended to reduce the dimension (not the file size) & the no. of frames of the GIF, then try again.
Q. The GIF animation stopped after a certain period?
A. Turn on the GifEndless option.
Q. I've set up a folder of GIF files & set the Wallpaper point to that folder, but S2U2 shows nothing?
A. Wallpaper(L) folder only supports JPG files.
Q. When the wallpaper is set to GIF file, even a small one, the memory usage is very high?
A. Yes, all the frames need to be cached in memory. So the more frames the GIF has, the more memory will be used.
Q. Is it possible to have a transparent wallpaper so that the Today screen will be shown instead?
A. NO.
Weather
Q. My XXX weather application cannot be shown on S2U2?
A. S2U2 only supports Spb Weather (not Traveler; not Shell), Weather Panel, Pocket Weather, HTC Weather & User-defined Weather.
Q. When ShowWeather set to HTC Weather, it does not show any icon?
A. You're probably running a custom-made HTC Home plugin. Try to figure out where the plugin is installed (e.g. \HTCHome\), then copy all HH_Weather_XXsmall.png files to \Windows\. Restart iLock2.
Q. There is no registry key called UserWeather in my device?
A. Create it (as STRING) by yourself.
Q. How to make use of UserWeather?
A. You have to manually update the registry key UserWeather (STRING) under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. The format is "icon|index|high temp|low temp" where icon is S, P or W (Spb Weather, Pocket Weather or Weather Panel).
Or "icon|index|string" where "icon" is C (custom), "index" is the weather icon & "string" will be the message displayed underneath the weather icon. e.g. "C|50|Rainning" means the \gfx\weather\50.png icon & "Rainning" will be displayed on screen.
Schettj has created a MortScript to update it through Yahoo's weather, details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358952
Q. Why there is no current weather info shown?
A. Because S2U2 only shows TODAY's FORECAST info from other weather applications.
Q. When getting temperature (in Celsius) from HTC, there is always 1 degree discrepancy?
A. That's the bug of HTC when converting the readings from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

thank goodness this is no april fools!
I was fearful someone had an awful sense of humor.
edit: still wish there was a slide to view for text messages, cause that's still sticky to either auto-unlock the screen or not have a notification... maybe 2.00!?
lol very nice, havent been using S2U2 for a while... might have to go back to it now
wow
thank you for your hard work A_C
Very good !
Thanks !
But I have found a bug !
When you put your finger on the slide button, after you move top. The slide button is always linked to your finger, if you move right, it will unlock the phone...
I speak english very bad ! Sorry ! Have you understood ?
Great Work, A_C!
HTC Weather
Hi,
I was using the .99 version and the same has happened in this version. I have been trying to work out and how to have the weather screen working. I Use HTC Weather, the default weather program. I followed the instructions of putting the small.png in the windows folder. It still does not read the icons!
How am I able to rectify this. I have searched everywhere, and been working on this for a 5 days now!
Has anyone any suggestions. I cannot believe I am the first person on original ROM, and default weather......
Kind Regards,
Will
A problem here with S2P integration.
I use S2U2 without the "slide to unlock" in the bottom, I use d-pad to unlock.
But when S2P is launched, d-pad is the next track button. So it's just impossible to unlock the phone ...
Thank you (I'm using a LG KS20).
S2P integration is wonderful!!!
When i unlock the phone with s2p in background it return to today screen and s2p is minimized.
Is possible to have s2p always in foreground when i unlock the phone with s2u2???
Thank you in advance.
great work... just tested and working fine... now i have a ipod touch look a like.. hehehhe
thank you so much A_C !!

LOL... with your settings means the DPAD should be reserved to unlock.
Just updated the CAB file & pls redownload it.
Hi. Quoting the original message:
---------------------------------------
Changes of v1.00
- integration with S2P (v0.38 or later): When S2P is running, the title & album art of the current playback will be displayed on S2U2. Tapping the screen will call up the music control buttions. If DPAD is enabled, the hardware keys (DPAD & volume up/down) will also be functional as on S2P.
---------------------------------------
Unfortunately this does not work for me. With S2P (0.38) running, I let it turn off the device after the timeout. When I turn it on S2P crashes (I can't find it as a running application) and the device is not locked by S2U2.
As usual, S2U2 works perfectly if S2P is not running.
I'm using a Fujutsu-Siemens T830 with un unofficial WM6 ROM.
Please let me know if you need more details.
Regards,
Fabio
I have a problem with this version : when I reset my device, S2U2 does'nt work
I must stop and restart it with Ilock2 and then it's working nice.
But if I stop it with Ilock2 and then restart it I always have the window with the message "S2U2 and ILock2 are stopped" and I must reset my device to have it to work again (after a first stop and restart with ILock2)
I'm on a LG KS20.
Thank you for your responses
Downloading.... Testing...
Thank U very much for your great work...
Feedback:
It's working very smoothly...
And the integration with S2P is Just "Charming"...

Question: Is there anyway to make a transparent screen (so I can see my today screen) with the slider? I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
Hey guys,
What is S2P?
S2P(Slide2Play) is my third S2 series application. S2P is a stylus-free MP3/WMA player application. It simply lets you browse your music files & play.

Known limitations & FAQs:
Q. Do I have to install the old version before using this version?
A. No.
Q. How to use the .CAB file?
A. http://www.google.com/search?q=install+cab
Q. Do I have to install S2U2 before installing S2P?
A. No. But if you have installed S2U2, make sure you have updated your S2U2 to 0.99p or later. Otherwise S2P will be stopped by S2U2.
Q. What music files can S2P play?
A. MP3, WMA & WAV.
Q. When viewing an album of WMA/WAV files, there is no duration show?!
A. Yes, it's not implemented yet.
Q. The Album View only show a few covers even there a lot different music files stored?!
A. You have to organize the files into folder structure like \Artist Name\Album Name\Music title.mp3, otherwise it won't be recognized by S2P.
Q. How to turn off the screen when playing music?
A. Press the Power button or the record button.
Q. How to adjust the auto screen off timeout?
A. Edit the registry - under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\, edit the keys OffLCD & ACOffLCD (in seconds). OffLCD is for use when using battery; while ACOffLCD is for external power. The default value of OffLCD is 25 & ACOffLCD is 0.
Q. S2P shows weird characters for the music info?!
A. Try to resave those info in ID3V2.4 UTF-8 format.
Q. How to have cover shown on S2P?
A. Either the music file already has cover pic embedded or you have to copy the cover file (either cover.jpg or folder.jpg or album*.jpg made by WMP) to the corresponding album folder.
A. Sudermatt has a script to update the album art directly from your device, goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2164454&postcount=920 for details.
Q. Does S2P support A2DP?
A. Yes, as long as your device has a proper OS.
Q. Does S2P support AVRCP?
A. Yes, starting from v0.40.
Q. S2P does not support AVRCP on my device?
A. It's found that latest devices have some specific codes to handle AVRCP specifically with the built-in WMP. So there is no way to intercept the AVRCP control codes unless a real device can be studied on-hand or the related SDK is publicized.
Q. How to get AVRCP works on HTC Diamond?
A. Follow these steps:
- remove the Music tap from TouchFlo 3D with Diamond TF3D Config (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 (thanks Sushilange);
- restart the device;
- turn on the Bluetooth & connect the BT Headset;
- (skip this step for v0.55 or later) start the Windows Media Player (sometimes it will be automatically started once the BT Headset is connected) & press the End key to minimize it;
- start S2P & enjoy
Q. How to get the HTC Wired Remote Control works?
A. From v0.58, S2P supports this remote with limited conditions:
- either TouchFlo (Manila) 2D/3D, HTC Home or FM Radio must be turned off.
- connect the remote, run S2PCHR.exe.
- select MENU -> Calibrate...; press the PLAY button on the remote; message "Calibration done!" comes out; QUIT.
- remember to run this calibration once after each soft-reset.
- enjoy!
Q. Does S2P support playlist?
A. No, not yet.
Q. The system icons on the top bar do not update?!
A. Yes, they only show the start status. But the battery level icon is up-to-date. However, they will all be live if S2U2 v1.00 is already running in the background.
Q. How to make S2P runs faster?
A. Some tips:
- organize the mp3 files in folders
- keep the mp3 files small (<= 256kbps)
- don't use embedded album art
- keep album art small (<= 200 square pixels)
- let S2P goes through every album for creating some cached files for later better performance
- set AlwaysLoadEmbedAlbumPic to 0
- set FastAlbumPic to 1
- set FullScreenAlbum to 0
Q. How to control S2P from other program?
A. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2306639&postcount=1248
Q. Why S2U2, S2V & S2P are all free?
A. Because MS has left them in the factory.
Others
Q. Is S2P free?
A. Yes, but any donation is welcome (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...e=S2P Donations&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0), thanks.

One Question : How do we enable album art scrolling ? I know how to do the rotate and coverflow mode, but is there a new flow on the main screen ?
Edit. I posted this while you were posting the readme. Ooops. Dbl tap the title if you can't figure it out.
Thanks a lot for new release test it now

No.
I can see album art in the main interface.
However, Album View works both in Portrait & Landscape mode.
Have try SR after installation.
Any ideas????
Hmm... for some reason it's sluggish on my polaris...
as you said.
what to do.
I found that AlwaysLoadEmbedPic default value is actually 1 not 0.
Changing it back to 0 improved speeds a bit and solved some problems with covers not showing in normal view.
As expected album view is sluggish on my Hermes/8525, but it's still usable. If you want speed, just pause while you are using album view. And I also find that using portrait is faster than landscape. Just some suggestions.
Thank you soooo much for your hardwork...
This version is amazing the album view in both portrait and landscape is working FLOW-lessly...
Once again thanks...

Hi A_C, thanks for the update !!
I never care about album art before, but now I tried . However, they don't show up, I don't know why. In the registry, options for cover are all set to "1". These covers are .jpg with correct name (cover, album etc).
You said in the FAQ that they have to be created by WMP, is it a restriction, meaning that if you download a pic from internet, and use it as a cover.jpg, it can't work ?
EDIT: I realised that double tapping ont the name of the song/album bring up the cover in a full screen mode, it works . But is there a way to get the cover also in "nomral mode", where there is the "music note" by default?
Strike,
arrive at work and what will i see?
A new version of S2P, now this will become a great day.
Thanks man
2 seconds delay
I love the program, but took 2 seconds to skip to the next song.
It is a keeper though.
Thanks very much.
ps. Just checked with post #17..most of my mp3 are embedded with album art, therefore, that is why it is kinda slow.
