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.

How to disable 'Clock & Alarms' screen after clicking clock in HTC Home?

I occasionaly click on the big digital clock on the HTC home by accident, while aiming to click on the e-mail or sms icon. Clicking on the clock opens the 'Clock & Alarms' screen, which I hardly ever use.
Is there a way to disable the opening of 'Clock & Alarms' when clicking on the clock?

Have never seen this pop up on the forums.. sorry.
I've seen once around here somewhere in the Kaiser section someone was able to change a short cut on the home screen (one of the mail buttons), but that was it. If someone could find the reg key for that or whatever controls it youc ould probably disable that clock/alarms link somehow, but i wouldnt know where to start

bump
Im looking for the same thing!

Me too
That would be a FANTASTIC this to be able to fix <BUMP>

clicking on clock by accident
+1
Ho yes

mee too ...

I've searched for quite a while to find a solution.
I want to "remap" the click to open galarm for example.
But for now, I think there is no solution.

You can download Manilla 2D Customizer and then disable the alarm status and digital clock in Home tab. There will be no interaction when you press the analog clock in the home screen.
Oops, sorry. Wrong post. Thought that this is related with ROMs with Manilla 2D.

Is it something we could arrange with the SSMaPa soft ?
This soft proposes to replace "Clock clic" and "Alarm clic".... I am sure there is something to do here..
Has anybody already tried ?

Don't think you can change that.
I believe the function is associated with the display and setting of time in windows and not changeable via the interface (Manila 2D for instance).

Yes SSMaPa will do this. You can map the clock to any .exe including GAlarm, GProfile or any other program you wish.
Still does not stop you from accidentally pressing it though.

point it to a phoney exe
This guy seems to have found a solution. Will give it a try.

RESOLVED
Install Tweaks2k2.Net
Go to:
Tweaks> Security, No acces to change the time
Reset
Done!!

Thanks EZ. It works. I could not get ssmapa to work.
But it disables the windows time feature even from system. We dont change the time everyday so its good enough.

[SKIN] WAD2 - Blackberry Bold 2.0 QVGA

For those new to this theme, the whole purpose (besides making a theme to look like AT&T's Blackberry Bold) was to do a theme that required ZERO swiping. Everything is accessible through simple pressing. By doing this, I have made (for me anyway) the most practical UI I can dream up. Getting to what you might need is very fast.
Problems:
1. This theme was designed for how I personally use my phone and I am sharing it with you. I mention that because it will explain why, in my rush to get it out there, I forgot to remap buttons to the generic programs like contacts and texting. Also, the programs pages are still linked to the programs I use. I apologize for that.
2. The weather icon in Portrait mode that appears on the dock with your calendar doesn't always appear correctly. Not sure why. You can still press the area to get to the forecast page. Everything appears correctly there.
Installation:
1. Unzip the file. You will see three folders.
2. Bold and Bold P belong in your WAD2 themes folder on your device.
3. There is a folder called "Themes". This has all of the images, including alternate backgrounds and the weather icons you see in the pictures, and it belongs in the root directory of your storage card.
Instructions for Use:
Portrait:
1. Everything is pretty obvious. You should know that the Calendar icon opens a dock containing 1 day of appointments and a weather icon with current temperature. Pressing the appointment will open a Calendar page. Pressing the Weather Icon or the Temperature will open a Weather page.
2. The Wifi icon in the upper right corner will toggle your Wifi on/off. If your Wifi is on, green lights will appear underneath.
Landcsape:
1. There's room for more icons so the instructions for Portrait do not apply.
Enjoy. If you enjoy this theme, please feel free to donate to someone who doesn't rip off every icon, wallpaper, etc. from someone else.

Here's a few more pics.

Excellent
Great job. Thank You. I think I will give WAD2 another try.

holy ****!
great job bro!
kinda makes me wish i had my Tilt back..just to show this off
by any chance..do u think ull be releasing this for VGA screens in the near future?

great job oscarbum thks

need suggestion
hy,great theme there.
i'm a newbie and also working on a new theme my self.
but if you can help me,it seems i can't display an activesync status icon (using a full screen theme).
any suggestion?

That's something you might want to take up with Chris on the Lakeridge forum, since Active Sync is not one of your choices for a status icon.
On another note, I've been using this theme and it's previous incarnations for over a month. Would you believe tonight was the first time I needed to silence my phone? Needless to say, I couldn't through the theme and an update will be coming soon.

nevermind my bad

Simply push the "x" button to get rid of the program that's there. Then click the empty box and assign it whatever you wish. Same concept as the M2D programs page.

Ah. No problem.
Go to Start Menu->Programs->Wisbar Advance Desktop->Author Menu. This will bring up the Author Menu on the main screen.
Click on Author Mode.
Now, press and hold on the icon you wish to change. A menu will pop up. Click on Properties.
Click on Edit Script.
Highlight Launch a Program, then press Edit.
Click on the ... button.
Choose the program you wish to use and hit Ok.
Press Done.
Press Done.
Press Done.
In an area of the screen with no buttons, press and hold until the Author Menu pops up again. Press Author Mode to turn it off. Very important since many a theme has gotten screwed up by forgetting this step.
And enjoy.

Also, any chance of adding a finger-friendly bluetooth icon on the left side of the clock (opposite WiFi icon)?
Thanks
EDIT: Nevermind. I just installed the redux version. excellent theme.

Guys please help me out.
I am thinking of buying a new Blackberry bold and need some solid skin cover on it, So could anyone here please suggest me some websites providing blackberry bold skin covers?

how to make a short cut to reminder ?

Hi,
we are some people thare are looking for how to make a shortcut to the reminder.
you know ? the litle bell on the top on the screen that call the curent outlook appointments.

Just checked SPB's forum and there is a pretty popular thread there asking for this exact functionality. Doesn't look like SPB is listening or at least responding. Hopefully somebody here can add one.
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtop...=136335#136335
I got in the same position when using Homescreen++. I got things almost just the way I wanted them and still felt things lacking without this. I don't even need a fancy display for the notifications / reminders. Just an indicator that when tapped, shows the regular WM notification balloons. Heck, at this point I'd even take a setting that leave the balloons up until I dismiss them. Maybe a mortscript could do this? Anything to avoid fumbling with the little bell. It is really hard to hit with just my thumb.

Simple Today Plugin - missed calls and voicemails

Hey, I have a hopefully quick question, but haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for yet.
I have a Touch Pro 2 and am really starting to like the simplistic view of the Today screen without TF3D or the Windows Default views.
Unfortunately if you don't use TF3D or Windows Default, the Today screen doesn't display missed calls or voicemail notifications. Is there a simple plugin that will do this? I've done quite a bit of research and the only real solution I've been finding is PhoneAlarm which sounds good, but I am looking for a free solution.
Anybody have any ideas? I find it hard to believe there isn't a simple (free) plugin that will do this functionality...
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're going for the simplistic view, then why not use the LED notifications for when you have a missed call/voicemail/text/email? Also, even on the today screen, when you have a missed call or voicemail or text or whatever it should display an icon in the taskbar. Beyond that, you're right I have no idea of a free solution to this unless you enable Sense or Titanium. Maybe other people will know more, just thought I'd suggest the LED thing

Try HomeScreen PlusPlus here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm

Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm looking for something a bit more advanced than a flashing indicator on the phone I want to duplicate the functionality of the Home screen on Sense (that shows the voicemail and missed calls notification and allows you to directly call you voicemail and see the list of missed calls.)
I tried the HomeScreen PlusPlus, but it appears to only track outgoing calls/texts and not the missed calls and new voicemails...

HomeScreen PlusPlus can do just that, but you need to write your own MortScripts or modify existing ones. The DigiClock skin provides these functions, but I think the graphics it comes with are for QVGA screens, so if you used VGA graphics with the skin you'd get your functionality. I may have MortScripts I modified that does exactly what your looking for as well, before I moved to Pointui Home2. Let me know if you want them and I can post them for you...

That would be great if you could post them - I'd love to try them out.
Thanks!
