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.

Maybe this has been discussed before but no one tried to develop the idea.
well instead of S2U, i prefer to have a gesture that i choose to unlock the device... so no one can unlock it other than I... if im dont have these programming skills
anyone is able to do it?! it can be a modified version of A_C's S2U2...

Cool thinkin...
No passworded needed, just a gesture.
Someone needs to copy the Microsoft Origami thingy where you unlock by tapping a certain sequence on a picture of your choice, with more security gained by moving to a smaller grid size.
ell, honestly, if you delete the images from your S2U2 directory, that should accomplish the same thing. You would just have to remember where to slide from. Or use your DPAD.
lawmangrant, i think you're missing a handy side-effect of having G2U: you can still view the today screen. I imagine that you can view the today screen, but not be able to do anything until you gesture. If anyone uses PointUI, it's kinda like the builtin lock. You see the main screen until you tap, upon which the lock screen comes up. It's pretty nice (personally use s2u2 instead) but G2U has potential uses.
It's a good idea, especially if you don't have the instructions right on the screen, it's a good locker to keep people out of your phone.
It should be Gesture2Unlock (or G2U for short) and it was discussed in the Kaiser forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362231&highlight=gesture
A_C, the author or S2U2 was contacted, but he didn't think he could do it, as you can see from the thread...
I still like the idea.
I have a program in mind that does exactly what you want...
hm.. not exactly...
you have to tap to 4 or 5 different points on your touchscreen to unlock your phone...
but I don´t know the name at the moment....
I´ll try to find it....
This is a great idea.......
strange !!! walking down the street today i had this exact thought
may be some day!!!!
This was good, but doesnt work anymore...
http://softava.com/archive/pp/otp_features.html#
interesting. Would be very similair to taking a biometric of a persons signature. presumably tho one wouldn't want the signature to be drawn as you gesture2unlock, but instead "draw" onto an invisible notepad.
its no easy process (have researched biometrics) as the important part if the learning/recognition algorythm which will probably involve some neural network coding (ouch but fun).
What you need is something like this!!!
http://bip.golana.pub.ro/~mmihai/sign/index.html.
I've emailed Mihail about this (the author), pointing him to this post. I will post his reply as soon as it arrives.
Here's my email:
Dear Mihail,
I came across your website whilst looking for clues as to how we might implement a fellow forum contributor’s idea on xda-developers.com (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370632&page=2)
His idea was to unlock a pda using a gesture on the touch screen. To my mind that mean signature which lead me to search for some algorithms on the net. Your implementation was particularly interesting as it seems quick to operate, has low memory footprint and could work on a low spec machine (such are many pda’s).
I was wondering if you implemented such a system, or if the algorithm you have developed has been release for others to use, commercially or non-profit.
Your input into the discussion would be highly valuable.
Best wishes
Sean

I see pluses and minuses to this approach as opposed to using s2u2 with the deleted slide graphics.
If you want true privacy when someone picks up your phone, you wouldn't really want them to see your today screen especially if it contains appointment and tasks info, etc. That's where I think using a modified s2u2 would be better.
If you don't have appointment info on your screen or nothing that is "dynamic" or constantly changing except the clock, then you could skin s2u2 to "match" your today screen and place the clock exactly where it is on your today screen. For example if you have HTC home as your today screen, you can skin s2u2 clock to match the position and font as HTC home and then take a screenshot and modify it to a wallpaper, cutting out the clock par. The tricky part is the missed call and sms counter. S2u2 has the potential to disply that info but to replicate that look of htc home would require major changes, probably requiring A_C's help?
Of course if our devices had the horsepower, we could modify s2u2 to just take the screenshot of the today screen and load it as a wallpaper everytime it starts up, maybe a mortscript, but it would probably would be too slow realistically.
Im glad that u liked the idea... A_C said that he doesnt have the skills to do it.. but im sure he can help...
i don't mind if the appointments info appears on the screen, but i prefer no one can access all other applications... typing a password takes time... especially when activated side by side with S2U2...
Why a signature recognition? How about a gesture system like the one found in firefox plugins:
https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/39
https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/12
They're based on eight directions - four sideways and four diagonal.
Directions are defined as:
U - up
D - down
L - left
R - right
7 - up/left
9 - up/right
1 - down/left
3 - down/right
So to program a gesture you just need to input the directions of strokes it consists of.
For example URDL would mean drawing a rectangle starting from bottom left, and then going up, right, down, left. You can also describe more complicated gestures that way - R2D1L7U9R would mean drawing a circle starting from its top point and moving right.
In my opinion biometric algorithms don't make much sense, since they would need a styluys to work - try to draw your signature using a finger
Simplified gestures should work with finger as well as stylus, and should still provide more than enough security.
Great minds think alike.
What I wanted was a way to use touch to unlock the device very easily without it being easy to copy. I also wanted data to be safe should the device be reset.
I thought of using the standard S2U and just using a skin which didn't make it clear how to unlock so as to deter casual snoops.
There must be a way to do this! If no-one comes up with something soon then I'll dust off my programming books and give it a try.
the new Ftouch Flo a.k.a FtouchSL has some new gesturing features ( like corners )..maybe this would be useful
Hello,
I see in Settings -> Personalize - two settings for Wallpapers: Lock-Screen Wallpaper and Home Tab Wallpaper.
Is there a tweak to merge these two functions ?
I'm looking for a solution without turning off HTC Sense.
Thanks in advance

I think you don't have an answer because it's not a big deal.
So what, there are 2 different wallpaper settings. A lot of people prefer it that way. Why do you only want 1? (Incidentally, 63 <> 256)
why cant you just set the same wallpaper for the 2 screens, problem solved! why do you have to turn sense off by the way?

I want use programs that will change my wallpapers automatically every hour taking each time new wallpaper from my folder.
I tested every existing "wallpaper changer" for windows mobile. None of them is able to change HTC HD2 "Lock-Screen" Wallpaper!
And this is because of that stupid HTC Sense, which is trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices.

There's nothing stupid about the Sense UI having its own wallpaper. I don't have any other applications that assume the same wallpaper as windows. Do you? The lock screen is part of the Windows UI, not the Sense UI. Hence, different wallpaper. Not stupid - normal.
Also, "trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices" just sounds like you're *****ing. You need to be more constructive in your critiscism, but expressing details in your issues, and how you would like them to be resolved.
Look for an app to change the Today wallpaper. I'd be really suprised if there isn't one. This will change the lock screen wallpaper. You'll need to use both apps, unless someone is interested in making something specifically for you.

No. You're wrong. As I researched this problem with one developer of "Wallpaper Changer" - HTC HD2 has it's own title of "Lock-Screen wallpaper". On all WM devices Lock-Screen / "Start-Menu" wallpapers has title like "stwater*.gif". On HTC HD2 this file has title "HTC_stwater*.gif" with that "HTC" prefix. It is that HTC Developers were too excited customizing WM 6.5 on this device, because on other WM 6.5 phones "Wallpaper Changer" program works fine. And there are many such customized things which made HTC programmes. Now this powerful phone gets useless as many programs doesn't work properly on it.

I suppose you didn't check before suggesting it... So, you can prepare to be surprised, because that program which I tested - changes Today wallpaper too, but it doesn't change HTC HD2 Lock-Screen wallpaper.

Well I guess that when I change the today wallpaper on my phone and it also changes the lock screen, it must be doing something completely different to your phone.
I suggest that you actually try that before berating people who are actually correct.

1) Do you have HTC HD2 phone ?
2) Did you use external software to change Lock-Screen wallpaper?
If "no" for any question then you're not correct.

I am trying to help you - stop being an idiot.
Do you know how to change the today wallpaper without using a piece of software? If so, do it. You will see that it is also the same as the wallpaper in the start menu, and, if you bother to try it and then check, turn off sense and you will see it is the same as the today wallpaper.
Stop being so offensive and grow up. This is a forum, not a playground.
Actually, I've just reread the whole of this thread, and I can see what the problem is.
You're a newb.
Here's some facts for you. These are not debatable - they are facts.
There is a wallpaper setting for the HTC Sense Home tab.
There is a wallpaper setting for Windows (including Today, Titanium, and the lock screen.)
There is no such thing as the "HTC Lock-Screen Wallpaper" - that actually point to the one just mentioned in point 2.
I tend to be as helpful as possible on this forum. I've been here for over 18 months and I've helped a lot of people with problems on their phones from big issues, to tiny insignificant things (my very 1st post was one that was an answer to someone's question!) I'm on my 3rd Windows mobile phone, and yes, it happens to be a HD2. I've had it for 7 weeks now, so I'm quite familiar with the extra features that weren't on the TouchFlo interface of the Touch HD, or the Touch Diamond.
Despite what you think, I do know what I'm talking about. You're just not listening.
So, with that in mind, will you please stop being so aggressive and explain why you don't understand something I've said. I am happy to help, but I'm not a saint, so stop being offensive and we can be friends

I know how to change every wallpaper type ( Home tab, Lock-Screen & Start Menu ) using standard settings. I know that turning off Sense and changing today affects on all three wallpapers and it's one file. If you were a bit more attentive you'd saw that I'm looking for a way to change "Lock-Screen" wallpaper (with turned on Sense) using external program. And I also mentioned that all such programs are able to change only Home tab wallpaper, even if Sense is turned off.
If you are trying to help, please, read my answers carefully before using offensive words...

Guess there is something what you can learn from "newb".
Stop being aggressive and listen, if you want help!
Okay... johncmolyneux is right. There's only two kinds of wallpaper: One for Sense, and one for the lockscreen and start menu.
The one for Sense is called "Home tab wallpaper".
The one for the Lockscreen and start menu is called "Lock screen wallpaper".
If Sense is turned off, the the Today Screen wallpaper is the same as the lock screen and start menu wallpaper.
The Today Screen, lock screen and start menu wallpaper is the file "stwater_480_800.png" in your Windows directory.
OKAY, that's for the explanation. NOW.... WHAT programs have you tried? I will have a look at what they actually do, so that I can find out what's wrong.
However, it is clear that the programs can only change either the Sense wallpaper or the lock screen wallpaper, because they are different files. Afaik there is no program that changes both at a time.

The programs you used change this file. That means those programs change the wallpaper for the lock screen AND the start menu AT ONCE, because it's the same file.
However, the change only takes effect after a soft reset. That's why your programs don't work and it also means that what you want is not possible.

When I tried to change Lock-Screen wallpaper (which is same as Start Menu wallpaper), it was set to default file: \Windows\ HTC_stwater_480x800.gif. It looks like a blue gradient default wallpaper. And unfortunately it stayed after soft-reset I asked other HD2 users and they had the same result.
If I'm able to change Lock-Screen wallpaper from "Settings" without soft-reset, maybe there should be possibility to do the same with external program and without soft-reset? When I manually change Home-tab wallpaper - it changes immediately, when I change Lock-screen wallpaper from settings - I see Windows Mobile "Loading" for couple of seconds. As I understand it means WM unlocks current file from being used by appropriate process and changes wallpaper. Then, maybe there could be possibility to unlock file from external program? I'm not familiar close to WM, but I guess some things that are done on Windows XP could be done on WM (here I mean only that well coded program could trick WM features) ? For example, in WIN XP I use great program "Unlocker" to free files from being used by running process.
Strange...
Why is it that so many newbies who come on here for help turn argumentative and aggressive? Is it something in the air they breath or what?

Okay, I had a deeper look into it, and this is how it works:
The HTC_stwater_480_800 file is in ROM. It is not the lock screen/start menu wallpaper.
The stwater_480_800.png file is the wallpaper. When you change the lock screen wallpaper in the settings, it overwrites that file.
If you set it to default, it takes the HTC_stwater_480_800 from the ROM, renames it (i.e. removes the HTC_) and replaces the stwater_480_800 file.
NOW...
...if you do change the wallpaper from the settings, everything is fine, it changes immediately...
BUT...
...if you replace the stwater_480_800.png file by hand, you need to soft reset for the change to take effect!
I don't know why this is, but this may be the reason why those programs can't change the lock screen wallpaper immediately. There must be a possibility, as HTC Sense IS able to change it immediately, but obviously, only replacing the stwater_480_800.png is not enough.
But anyways, the "Home tab wallpaper" (which is only for Sense) is still completely independent from the "Lock screen wallpaper" (which is the stwater file for the lock screen and start menu). As far as I understood, you want a program that changes both at the same time? I think there is no such program at the moment.

Hehe, see that if I didn't post my second aggressive bumping reply, this thread would have been lost deep in the forum without any answer at all. Old threads usually are ignored.
I just feel that he wanted to show off with his knowledge, call me idiot, newb or whatever and didn't carefully read my answers or explained it in manner that it looked so. Maybe I also explained my question not correct and we misunderstood each other.

Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

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

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

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

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

PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

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

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.
I have the T-mobile USA HD2. How do I disable the calendar appointment from appearing on the startup lock screen? I use a password used to unlock.

Excellent question...I've been searching for that also.
Kill 2 birds with one stone!
You could install Co0kie's Home Tab 1.6.1 together with his CHTEditor which should allow for the configuration you require via the multitude of Appointment options.
It's probably a must have cab at any rate, and you'll be killing 2 birds with one stone!
You won't be dissappointed.
you can delete the appointment layer in the lock screen file.

Hi. I quite agree with your praising of CHT and CHTE, but I can't find the option to not show the next appointment on lock screen. Are you sure you don't mean the option in CHTE to hide appointments on the on home screen ("Show appointments")? Or am I looking in the wrong place?
Yep, i had thought the 'hide appointments' would do it for you.
It seems samsamuel post above might be what you are looking for.
OK. I guess cookies home tab does just what the name says, edit the tabs on home screen. Will see if I take a closer look on that editing tool for the lock screen. Just seems a little more work and risk of screwing things up. But then again it might be pretty simple once you go through it
its only a simple file that you are editing. if you can read xml/html them just open the file in notepad and erase everything between the appointment tags.
just keep a copy of thee original and if it doesn't work just change it back. no danger.
OK. I might give it a try. It sounds far fetched but do you have an opinion on weather it's something in this file that can be editet to get the notifications options to pause or dismiss (back) on lock screen. A bit more explanation her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660813

Thanks for the advice. I was able to delete the appointment from the lock screen with Chome Visual Editor.
