[MORTSCRIPT] S2PC for iPhonetoday (Albumart yeha) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Since iPhonetoday is such a great today plugin I decided to add some more functionallity.
What does it do?:
Basicly it starts S2P minimizes it then starts playback and replaces the top 6 (or 8) icons with control/status icons for S2P and reverts to your original icons once S2P exits .
Features:
- Replaces top 6 or 8 icons with S2P control/status icons
- Refreshes icons on track change
- Display current album or artist
- Display current title
- Display current albumart
- Play/Pause, Volume up, Volume down, Next, Previous, Maximise S2P (Mute, Exit only on 8 icon setting)
- Energy saving option for stopping the script once the phone gets locked by S2U2
- revert to your original icons once S2P exits
- crops Artist/Album/Title if it is to long to be displayed by iPhonetoday
- If no titles are loaded into S2P it will show a reminder and maximize S2P
- creates a backup.xml on first run
Requirements:
- Mortscript
- S2P
- iPhonetoday
Installation:
- extract S2PC.zip
- edit the s2pc.ini to your desired settings
- copy the extracted content into \iPhonetoday\
- in iPhonetoday add an icon linking to \iPhonetoday\S2PC\start.mscr
Changelog:
(I will follow iPhonetoday version numbering so my v. 0.6.1 will be compatible to iPhonetoday 0.6.1)
- 0.6.1
-Initial release
Known Bugs:
- Sometimes the icon refreshing is slow (no solution on my side, sorry has to be done in iPhonetoday -> Refreshing icons from external exe)
- When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.
I will try to convince A_C to add a "Device is locked" Registry value. If not I don´t see a solution for this other than not using s2u2 for calls/volume.
Last but not least
I used some programms from different sources i would like to thank
No Plugins Today
Mortscript
thebond for his volume control scripts.

The s2pc.ini:
s2ppath=\Program Files\s2p\
Here you specify the folder where S2P is installed (mind the slashes).
s2pproblem=No music files are loaded into S2P. Please load music files and start playback.
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when no files are loaded into S2P.
s2pabort=Aborting S2PC
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when S2P aborts.
albumorartist=
Here you specify if album or artist shold be shown in the first row.
1 for album
0 for artist
pageselect=0
Here you specify on which page the controls sould be displayed (0 for the first page and so on) If the selected page doesn´t exist it will be displayed on the last page.
energysave=1
If this is set to 1 the script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when S2U2 locks the device.
!There is a bug in this function. When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.
I will try to convince A_C to add a "Device is locked" Registry value. If not I don´t see a sollution for this other than not using s2u2 for calls/volume.
resumeafterunlock=1
If this is set to 1 and energysave is allso set to 1 the script will rerun on unlocking but only if the script already ran at locking
eighticons=0
If this is set to 1 8 Icons are displayed instead of 6

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you can see the icon updating process takes pretty long so updating every minute would render iPhonetoday nearly unusable.
Maybe when another refresh option is there I will try to make a digital clock for the first row.

ya it take a bit more time... but tuning it would do better
digital clock would be great help to all...

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.

Hey guys, (19-12-2007)
It's almost a month after the last update of S2U2. Take a deep breath & enjoy this early Christmas joy...
- added GIF format support to Wallpapers; with option GifSpeed to control the animation speed. (there is no GIF file included in the CAB file as I don't want to get into any copyright trouble)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

- added option to select a directory for S2U2 to change the wallpapers (*.jpg) automatically; with option to control the changing period & change them randomly.
- added support to display over-sized Wallpapers.
- added option to change the font of the Clock (clock\, clockH\ or clockHS\).
- 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.
- added option S2AEndKey to enable/disable the End key when S2A is activated.
- added option NoSoftKey to hide all soft buttons. But how to UNLOCK? Press the RIGHT-DPAD.
- added option TopCurtain to enable/disable the display of the topbar.png.
- added the BT headset status icon.
- added an Exceptional applications list that when these applications are running, S2U2 will not start automatically. (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!
Readme First
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.
- A shortcut for iLock2.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
- Installation on Storage Card is not recommended for the sake of stability.
- For hi-res devices, d/l the S2U2ClockPack.rar & follow the steps in the ClockReadme.txt. Otherwise the clock will be shown as half-sized.
- For additional clock fonts, d/l the S2U2ClockPack.rar & follow the steps in the ClockReadme.txt.
- 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.

Known limitations & FAQs:
Q. Do I have to install the old version before using this version?
A. No.
Q. How to use the .RAR file?
A. Use WINRAR to extract it.
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 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. 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 does not start automatically?
A. Check if there is any applications which are included in the ExceptionEXE list are running in the foreground.
Q. S2U2 consumes a lot of power?!
A. Make sure there is no music player s/w running in the background.
Q. If "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at wake up, S2U2 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
Q. My device's special Keys are not blocked by S2U2?! (e.g. HTC Touch, the camera key on some devices...)
A. This is a device specific problem that cannot be resolved.
Q. The quality of the CallerID pic is so bad even the original photo is in high quality?!
A. DO NOT use the system contact to add photo to a contact. Use S2V or PocketCM to do so.
Q. How to mute an incoming call when CallerID is enable?
A. PRESS the volume up/down keys.
Q. After soft-reset, the first call's callerID is not shown sometimes?
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. Even CallerID is enabled, the system callerid is still there when a call is incoming?!
A. That's a device specific problem that is no solution yet. DO NOT enable the CallerID then.
Q. What is S2AEndKey?
A. When S2A is enabled & the screen is locked, the only way to reject an incoming call is by pressing the Power button. But if S2AEndKey is turned on, you may reject a call by pressing the End key as well.
Q. Some keys are not blocked?
A. Please check if you have installed any key mapping s/w that will break S2U2.
Q. My device shows a blank/black screen on start?
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. 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. 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 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.

(18 June 2008) S2U2 v1.05 - new page

Hey guys,
Although S2U2 is now called v1.05, it doesn't mean it can be run perfectly on your device. Thanks to different devices produced by different vendors. So, please test it before use it everyday, especially the CallerID function.
What is S2U2?
S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) 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 (but some devices may not work, so please try it first); and S2P control plugin.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 1M for QVGA; 3M for VGA
Changes of v1.05
- fixed the bug introduced in v1.02 that the clock did not update occasionally on device wake up;the idle time out occasionally malfunction; and the wallpaper did not change occasionally.
- the total unread count for FlexMail now reads to a maximum of 10 storages.
- fixed the bug that displayed night icon for Spb Weather.
- fixed the bug that some devices could not run probably on landscape mode.
- added support to RealVGA.
- added support to WVGA & WQVGA.
- some minor bugs fixed.
Changes of v1.03

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.
Special Thanks:

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.

(16 December 2008) S2U2 v1.37 - freeware

Hey guys,
Although S2U2 is now reached v1.37, it doesn't mean it can run perfectly on your device. Thanks to different devices produced by different vendors. So, please test it before use it everyday, especially the CallerID function.

Volume Control shortcut
If you need to manually map a key to invoke the new Volume Control, extract the S2U2-VC.LNK & transfer it to your device's \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\S2U2 (for Non-English device, it varies), then use any key mapping software (some devices have it come along) to map this S2U2-VC to your preferred key.
But it assumes S2U2 is installed at \Program Files\S2U2. You may read HERE for how to create a LNK file.
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
-reset to reset the unread counts of SMS, MMS, email & vmail
Configuration:
- Use the "s2u2 Settings.exe" to change the settings.
(There are some extra options that cannot be changed by "s2u2 Settings" yet, but ichijou-san & mushipkw had made their own programs for them, you may try out here & here. Thanks all of them.)

CallerID
Q. Does the CallerID support Video Call / Skype / PTT (Push-To-Talk)?
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.

A. Do not delete the "sliden.png", otherwise the screen will look weird.
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 always show the large battery as wallpaper?
A. No, the large battery only shows up when external power is connected.
Q. How to disable the large battery even when external power is connected?
A. Delete "battery1.png" under \GFX folder, restart iLock2.
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 Manila 2D & 3D Weather.
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? Why the weather icon mismatches with HTC Weather or Manila 2D/3D Weather?
A. Because S2U2 only shows TODAY's FORECAST info from other weather applications.
Q. When getting temperature (in Celsius) from HTC Home or Manila 2D, there is always 1 degree discrepancy?
A. That's the bug of HTC Home when converting the readings from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Q. The Manila 3D Weather info not shown on S2U2?
A. Check if you have added custom city; try to add a non-custom city.
A. Check if you have set the weather to update itself automatically; try different setting.
A. No perfect solution yet.

yea doesnt work..all I get is a blank screen, on a Titan- PPC-6800
Hi A_C, I hope the landscape bug is fixed. The landscape bug, if you're unaware, is when your phone is off in standby mode, and you receive a call. S2U2 caller ID pops up in landscape mode, but if you change your screen back to portrait mode and then answer the call, S2U2 will use the landscape background even in portrait mode.
Blank screen??
@ALL
If your device shows a blank screen with this version, please try to stop iLock2 & send me the S2U2.LOG & iLock2.LOG (both created under the S2U2's installed folder).

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);

- 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.

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.

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 ?

Thanks. It's the same old screen with easier navigation. Just try to slide the screen from left to right or right to left...

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...
Some steps to make S2P runs faster:
- 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 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.

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.

(2 April 2009) S2U2 v1.62 - dream

Hey guys,
Although S2U2 is now reached v1.62, it doesn't mean it can run perfectly on your device. Thanks to different devices produced by different vendors. So, please test it before use it everyday, especially the CallerID function.
(23 April 2009, You may try out the latest hot-fix v1.65 beta2 found at here.)
What is S2U2?
S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) 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. It has a CallerID function (but some devices may not work, so please try it first); S2P control plugin; and volume control. It can show many system information (customizable) even without unlocking.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6/6.1 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 1M for QVGA; 4M for VGA
Changes of v1.62
- the notification pop-up can now be dismissed (only on S2U2) by tapping anywhere a while outside the pop-up area;
To redisplay it, tap the corresponding notification icon.
- added option to turn on/off the individual preview of SMS, MMS & Email.
Please note that since I have no where to test the MMS (my device treats it as SMS), so it may not work.
- the "slide to view" has extended to all notification icons.
e.g. when a missed-call icon shown; tap the icon & it'll be highlighted; slide the slider will open the call history.
- added option to custom the applications opened by "slide to view" by editing the registry:
They are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2\S2VEXE, named 0File, 0Parameters, 1File, 1Parameters,... 8File, 8Parameters.
0 - missed call; 1 - voice mail; 2 - SMS; 3 - MMS; 4 - email;
5 - Flexmail; 6 - WL Messenger; 7 - reminder; 8 - active task.
e.g. when there is a missed call, open iContact's call history instead of the system call history,
edit 0File to \Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe;
and 0Parameters to -recents (the path may be different on different language device & where it's installed).
- added option to disable pressing the power button to end an incoming call.
- fixed a potential memory leak introduced in v1.60/1.61.
- fixed the incomplete backup created when saving the settings in S2U2 Settings.
- fixed the occasional problem that the system hangs on the CallerID screen.
- a few minor bugs fixed.
Changes of v1.60
- added option to lock most of the system notifications (alarm, reminder, sms/mms & email notice) when the device is locked.
To dismiss the notification on S2U2 (not on the system), either press the Power button or wait for the backlight turns off.
There are also options to auto-dismiss the notifications on the system & to show a preview of the SMS/email when locked.
When a notification is shown on S2U2, unlock the device ("slide to view") will open the corresponding application.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- added option to delay the email preview.
Set a longer delay if your device alerts the new email notification much later than the email preview.
- added a command switch -password for iLock2 to trigger the password lock immediately if the password is set.
Run iLock2.exe -password will turn on the password lock immediately no matter how long the "require password" is set.
Append the iLock2 startup link with -password will trigger the password lock immediately after soft-reset.
However, even with this option added, it does not mean S2U2 is a highly secure password lock.
- added the back button in the password entry screen; it shares the same position of the clear button.
- added a small-style clock - "clockS", included in the clock pack file.
- added option to set up a 2nd clock (both format & clock path).
To switch between the 1st & 2nd clock, tap the clock area.
e.g. switch between digital (clock) & analog (clockA); or between normal & small (clockS).
- added option to set the Vibration LED.
If S2U2 does not vibrate even "Haptic Feedback" is turned on, try to change the value of the Vibration LED;
then turn on or off the "Haptic Feedback" to test it. e.g. the Vibration LED of Omnia is 11.
- added option to show Owner's Information (name & phone) at the bottom.
- added option to hide All-Day appointment.
- added option to do not lock the TouchFLO 3D.
Enable it if the TouchFLO 3D restarts/quits unexpectedly when S2U2 is running, but the Home key will not be locked as before.
- change the Wallpaper settings in the registry will trigger S2U2 to change it's wallpaper immediately.
- when save the settings by S2U2 Settings, a setting backup file "S2U2 Settings.reg" will be saved.
- removed option "Power Save" as the power leak problem is found & fixed.
Please read the FAQ if your device still has power leak when running this version.
- removed option "Don't double check Backlight" as it does not work on some devices.
- removed the command switch -refresh of iLock2 as it does not work in some cases. (actually, it'd been removed since v1.5x)
- fixed the occasional problem that the system hangs on the CallerID screen after rejected an incoming call.
- fixed the occasional problem that the unread count of Flexmail cannot be shown.
- some minor bugs fixed.

Volume Control shortcut
If you need to manually map a key to invoke the new Volume Control, extract the S2U2-VC.LNK from this file (s2u2-vc.zip) & transfer it to your device's \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\S2U2 (for Non-English device, it varies), then use any key mapping software (some devices have it come along) to map this S2U2-VC to your preferred key.
But it assumes S2U2 is installed at \Program Files\S2U2. You may read HERE for how to create a LNK file.
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
-reset to reset the unread counts of SMS, MMS, email & vmail
-password to turn on the password lock immediately no matter how long the "require password" is set
Configuration:
- Use the "s2u2 Settings.exe" to change the settings.
(There are some extra options that cannot be changed by "s2u2 Settings" yet, but ichijou-san & mushipkw had made their own programs for them, you may try out here & here. Thanks all of them.)
- Through the lang.ini, the default values of DateFormat, TimeFormat, AppointmentTimeFormat, PhoneNoFormat, Wallpaper (Protrait & Landscape) & ClockPath can be customised. They are s_DefaultDateFormat, s_DefaultTimeFormat, s_DefaultAptTimeFormat, s_DefaultPhoneNoFormat, s_DefaultWallpaper(L) & s_DefaultClockPath.
- For advanced users, you can edit the registry (\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2) directly. Please remember to RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings changed, otherwise it won't work. The default values are added on the first run of iLock2.
Please refer to this Excel file for the detail description of each setting. (thanks rctneil for the idea)
- 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; or use the ARGB PNG format.
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
-reset to reset the unread counts of SMS, MMS, email & vmail
Known limitations & FAQs:
General
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 edit the registry?
A. You need 3rd party software like "Task Manager" & "Total Commander". Try to google them & they are very user friendly.

A. set a longer "WakeupDelayMS".
A. If any "auto-rotation" application is installed, please add "S2U2" to it's exception list.
Q. My device's special Keys are not blocked by S2U2?! (e.g. the camera key on P525 & P535...)
A. Some devices have some specific keys that are hooked directly to the system.
This is a device specific problem. Unless the corresponding SDK is released by the manufacturer, it cannot be solved.
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 turn on 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, all these options will be disabled.
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. Spb Repeating Alarm does not work when "Lock Notification" is turned on?
A. It's a known limitation. Spb RA relies on the system notification bubble to literate its own alarm.
But if "Lock Notification" is turned on, S2U2 will force the notification to background & Spb RA will be misleaded
and think that notification is already dismissed. So, if Spb RA is used, "Lock Notification" must be turned off.
Q. How to customize the application opened when "slide to view"?
A. They are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2\S2VEXE, named 0File, 0Parameters, 1File, 1Parameters,... 8File, 8Parameters.
0 - missed call; 1 - voice mail; 2 - SMS; 3 - MMS; 4 - email;
5 - Flexmail; 6 - WL Messenger; 7 - reminder; 8 - active task.
e.g. when there is a missed call, open iContact's call history instead of the system call history,
edit 0File to \Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe;
and 0Parameters to -recents (the path may be different on different language device & where it's installed).
Known limitations & FAQs: (continue)
Information
Q. How to hide the Date or the Time?
A. Set the DateFormat or TimeFormat to blank; restart iLock2.
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. There is only ONE appointment shown even it's set to show more than 1 appointment?
A. Extend the "Appointment Next Day(s)".
A. Where there is more than ONE appointment shown on S2U2, you may shrink them to show ONE appointment by tapping it.
To restore, tap the appointment again.
Q. How to hide any unread alert?
A. Delete "notice.png" under the \GFX folder; restart iLock2.
Q. How to integrate Spb Mobile Shell with S2U2?
A. http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17396 (thanks PocketPcUser05)
Q. How to display the operator's logo?
A. The logo filename must exactly match with the operator's name with PNG extension (e.g. orange.png); it must be placed under the folder GFX\Operator. For QVGA/WQVGA device, the logo has to be smaller than 16 pixels high; while for VGA/WVGA, it has to be smaller than 32 pixels high. Since there are a lot of operators in the world, only a few samples are included in the installation.
To switch back to display operator in text, delete the Operator folder & restart iLock2.
A. Run S2U2 Settings and quit. A file "S2U2 Settings.log" is created under the S2U2 installed folder.
Open it with any editor, one of the line shows "Operator Logo: xxx.png".
CallerID
Q. Does the CallerID support Video Call / Skype / PTT (Push-To-Talk)?
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/outlook to add photo to a contact. Use S2V (Slide 2 View) 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 when DpadOn is enable.
Q. After soft-reset, sometimes the first call's callerID is not shown?
A. It's an OS issue, no solution yet.
Q. The CallerID is working fine, but after iLock2 is ended, no more CallerID even the system one?
A. The system caller tab is diabled by iLock2. Either restart iLock2 or restore the system caller tab as the next question.
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.
A. Change the setting of "Slide to Answer" from "Only Locked" to "Always".
Q. "Slide to End" does not work?
A. Firstly, the CallerID must be enable & "Slide to Answer" & both work on your device. Secondly, the "Slide to End" screen will only appear when your device is locked already by S2U2. Otherwise it only shows a normal CallerID screen.
A. Change the setting of "Slide to Answer" from "Only Locked" to "Always".
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.
Weather
Q. My XXX weather application cannot be shown on S2U2?
A. S2U2 only supports Spb Weather 1.x (not 2.x; not Traveler; not Shell), Weather Panel, Pocket Weather, HTC Weather, User-defined Weather and HTC Manila 2D & 3D Weather.
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? Why the weather icon mismatches with HTC Weather or Manila 2D/3D Weather?
A. Because S2U2 only shows TODAY's FORECAST info from other weather applications.
Q. When getting temperature (in Celsius) from HTC Home or Manila 2D, there is always 1 degree discrepancy?
A. That's the bug of HTC Home when converting the readings from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Q. The Manila 3D Weather info not shown on S2U2?
A. Check if you have added custom city; try to add a non-custom city.
A. Check if you have set the weather to update itself automatically; try different setting.
A. No perfect solution yet.

German Lang.ini for v1.40
Thanks for update, but with activation TF3D on my HD (1.14.407.3 GER) dont work the Manila 3D Weather again. ???
Its the TF3D deactivation, function the Weather icon. Strange!?
thanks ac!
Awesome, I'm always excited to see you release an update!!! Downloading now....
Thanks for the new version.
I noticed a difference in the sliding mechanic.
Slider now seems to speed up, and if you release it, it keeps sliding.
Great work A_C!
May I suggest the following: if for an appointment, the start time equals the end time, only show the start time.
For example:
12:30 Lunch
instead of
12:30-12:30 Lunch
Thanks!

it didnt on the last version either
i have a touch pro using tf3d set that in the s2u2 settings

Yeah...kinda cool, I think that will allow a lot of people with 'large' fingers to be able to 'flick' the slider and not run out of room at the end to slide!! I think it is a great little tweak!!!
NL language file 1.40
Thank you A_C!
I've updated the language file in Ducth.
