I updated to WP8.1 yesterday from fully unlocked GDR3. Early finds:
Seems that Im still unlocked, editing accents works, chaning "start key wakes up the screen" works etc...
The toast launcher does not work anymore (as was expected I guess).
I read the registry values done for the unlock using SamWP8Tools and they seem to be still all there. Reading PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt results an error, but the value is found and is still 127.0.0.1.
I tried to run full unlock again, BootstrapSamsung resulted Success!, but EnableAllSideloading returned an error (screen capture below). The Non-Production Errors.txt was not present at Documents anymore, putting it there does not change anything.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Seems that enabling more tiles have changed their registry values. Changing the setting from SamWP8Tools or WPHTweaks does not do anything, except the setting status does change to the other tweaking app.
On WP8.1 and more tiles enabled, the text in the tiles is smaller than we had earlier with our tweak. This would be great setting to find and make possible to have bigger font on the tiles. Its readable but we had it better.
On people hub the recent contacts page is gone, so that setting in WPHTweaks does not do anything anymore.
Strange that EnableAllSideloading should fail. That suggests that either they've changed the permissions of the various "secret" capabilities, or they've changed the structure of the capability system. The error code 5 means Access Denied. "CapabilityMapping" was not a capability before, and doesn't really sound like one either (no ID_CAP_* name). I'll need to investigate...
Does the web server still work? What can you see? I haven't updated yet but I shall need to do so soon, I can tell...

WebServer doesn't see that entry.
Do this "ID_CAP_*" thing or your app can break something.

I dont have the WebAccess.xap installed, I had to flash my device under month ago and dont have everything anymore. My phones filesystem was messed up. I couldnt access some memory cards + my computer would recognize the phone only if it was booted recently. After flasing and starting fresh, everything is working 100% normally.
I can sideload it in the evening and see whats going on. Whatever you guys want me to check just let me know?

I restarted it most than once... Nothing happened. And still i cant connect with my skype, the lag is here ... horrible
Sideloaded WebAccess_0_5_0_AllCapabilities.xap, no problems and Im able to browse the registry. Any ideas what to check here?
Intresting resolution here listed:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\NavigationBar
1080x1920
1440x2560
480x800
540x960
720x1280
768x1280
Cool functions would be to enable the 5th quick toggle found in 1520.
Also the texts are now bigger in apps list and smaller in the tiles (compared to what we had when using a tweak). I would live to get these back the way they where.
Also I wonder why they dropped the recent page from people hub... Could that be enabled again via simple reg edit?

Do you have a lot of apps installed? It seems it has to NGEN all the MDIL assemblies for all installed apps - took around 6 hours on my phone (apps say they're "installing").
My phone's acting up a lot post update, so I'm going to factory restore it. Anyways I was just looking and there's a file in my documents folder on my phone, called 256.err.
It's just a single line:
Code:
\PROGRAMS\COMMONFILES\OEM\PUBLIC\ADC\TLS_base_update.xml[80004005]
Any idea what this could be?

your phone had Problems (it coudn't find) the file TLS_base_update.xml.
the file is normally stored here: PROGRAMS\COMMONFILES\OEM\PUBLIC\ADC
I had that too but on all os versions , this has to do with bad/real bad reception of your network .
normally it get fixed when you reboot at a place where you know you have good reception.

Don't worry. My custom CSC can't find any file in this directory. And there were only 2 problems:
1) You have to add APN manualy
2) DataSense is missing
However, in 8.1 DataSense is there.

Yes we need to find these things (if possible via registry):
Text smaller again when 3 rows enabled, as was before.
Text bigger inside tiles when 3 rows enabled, as was before.
Also I liked smaller navigation tiles in pictures etc better. Picture gallery is small now, but albums view is huge.
History page from people hub is gone, I imagine some would like to see this back?

Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement
This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.
On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.
The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.
Normal Mode
{
"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"
}
Fullscreen Mode
Available on my website!
V
nice unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)
the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute
( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )
However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts
and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?
bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.
btw - nice UI (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
yay repro
I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...
"\Program Files\PHM Tools\PHM PPC Powertoys\"
from a fresh boot:
1. Start > Programs (required first-run)
2. Start > VJSmallIconsII (in program history, still)
3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys
4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater
result: floater disappears
expected result: pop up menu should appear
at this pont everything still seems fine - you can navigate around, etc.
5. Tap OK button
result: nothing happens, you're stuck at this level
expected result: should go up a level
-----
With MagicButton running - Steps 1-4
5. Tap (MagicButton) OK button
result: device locks up
expected result: should go up a level
-----
I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.
I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?
It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.
It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice I'll fix that!
Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...
The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.
Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.

What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).
This is a bit off topic....
vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
Hey unable to download this app from your site!
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.
Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.
Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market
Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.
At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:
So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.
So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.
I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.
Phew, time for lunch

I made a little program to keep track of uptime and hard/soft resets etc on my K-jam.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

It does not "run in the background". It does a quick update of the datafile(s) every time you reboot. Apart from that it only runs when you start it.
It can be downloaded from http://www.bredo.nu/shamzi
Suggestions/bug reports etc are ofcourse welcome.

It is sad that we need such application, but good job..
New version (0.3) is now available
Edit:
You must uninstall the old version and delete the shortcut before installing v0.3. See the website.
B
New version (v0.4) available.
changes from v0.3 to v0.4
- changed it to use application folder in paths instead of hardcoded 'Bredita' path
- changed it to save uptime.txt in application folder
- changed minimum OS version to 1.0, i guess this will let you install it on earlier windows versions. I don't know if it will run well on older versions. please tell me if you successfully use it on anything earlier than windows mobile 5
- added menu item: "About" and removed version number from main screen
- added menu item: "Help" and removed help button from main screen
- added menu item: "Fix startup shortcut"
- moved "Uptime.txt" to the application folder (The folder where B_Uptime is installed) instead of the root folder
- it no longer exits when it looses focus (or you click the X), but it does stop the screen from updating every second
- added exit button which stops the program (does not keep it running in the background)
- aware of screen rotation (works in landscape mode too)
- the time of last boot/last hard reset/first install is shown next to the date, in landscape mode
- better method of calculating the "last boot" timestamp the first time b_uptime is installed

works on other than WM5????
thanks
I made a colleague at work try if it was working on 2003SE. It worked, but The cab file would not work (some complaint about incorrect windows version or something), so I had to (beam the exe file to him via infrared and) install it for him manually. It worked once we got it installed. (this was version 0.3)
I hope that the new cab file will at least let you install it on all PPC windows versions, but if the program works is another question. My best guess is that it works on CE with at least compact framework 1.0. It does not require compact framework 2.0. And it needs a memory card. Try it and please tell me if it works
BTW: I just corrected a little bug (i had swapped "Idle time" and "processing time" in portrait mode). The 4 people who managed to download the 0.4 cab file before I corrected this bug should download and install again. Sorry about this mistake.
B
Version 0.5 is out:
- the time part of the last boot timestamp, the last hard reset timestamp and the first install timestamp all showed the time from last boot. Fixed.
Shame on me

Yes it seems lika a good idea to have an app that tracks how many calls you make etc.
My employer pays my phone bill, so I'm not too interested in counting it myself, but I made a little MortScript to "prove that I could" show the call timers from the registry once, and OffBeatMammal translated it into a proper application. The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43547&highlight=call+timers
I see the need for also "remembering" the values even if you hard reset, and it is not too difficult to save the values to a "logfile" like I do with B_Uptime. Maybe OffBeatMammal would be interested in adding this feature. Ask him in the thread
B
New version v0.7 can be downloaded from my webpage.
This version maintains a bootlog, and lets you enter a description/reason for each reboot:
Changes from v0.6 to v0.7
- changed the layout of the bootlog, added boot number
- added B_Bootlog.exe (a little app to view/edit the bootlog).This was added as a separate program, in order to kep the B_Uptime.exe as small as possible
- removed the menu entry to open the bootlog in word
- added menu entry to open bootlog (in B_Bootlog.exe)
- updated help file
Changes from v0.5 to v0.6 (not released)
- added more info in the help file
- added a logfile which will be a log of Reboot Time, What type of reboot (Soft/Hard) and a description field (where the user can add his comments about the reboot.
- added menu entry to open the logfile in word

I'll look into it, I "clicked past" a tutorial somewhere on how to write today plugins and I'm very interested in learning how to do stuff. Guess I could leave it up to the user to enable it if he wants it... I will post here if I decide to and manage to make one...

I found this one:
http://www.geocities.com/tomgigear77/Software.html
Seems this Today plugin has great features, but it doesn't work correctly on my Wizard. For example: I restarted my device yesterday (actually just to test this plugin) at about 7pm and it shows that currently since last soft reset is only 3:50 but really more than 12 hours. :?
I'm not strong in programming, but seems any wm2003 plugin related to uptime doesn't work correctly on wm5.0 at least on my.
bredita: If you get till some plugin programming and it is possible it would be nice to hove something like this plugin.
Personally I am most interested in uptime since last soft reset and since last full charge
There of course can be more features :wink:

I'm about to give up on the today plugin....
The tutorial says to "Perform a Release build of both the TodayScreenDataMgr and TodayScreenPlugin_NETCFHost projects" in step 3. It looked easy when I read it, but I haven't managed to actually do it.
I need help building the two dll files, and I have searched the web and newsgroups but I mostly find this kind of help, which isn't really helpful.
B
bredita - have you tried any of the today screen item bits that have full source code? There's at least one on MSDN, and there's a few other tutorials out there on the web (ppc developer network website, for example) that may be more informative as well.
I was hoping for an easy solution (the idea of a "plugin host" that I could just feed my html-formatted today info to seemed very tempting at first). But it turns out theres problems with that (apart from the fact that I can't build it) - no transparent background for example. This wouldn't make my "customers" happy ofcourse. Nobody wants a today screen plugin that obscures the picture of the half naked woman they have put on their otherwise too cluttered today screen
I tried a few other examples as well, but havent really got anywhere.
I finally broke down and I have decided to do things the proper way. Which means writing my own today plugin in C++ (by stealing lots of bits from others examples ofcourse).
So I got myself a copy of "C++ for dummies" (yes, you're allowed to laugh now) yesterday and I am currently on page 195. Less than 200 pages left. I have actually done a little bit of C++ programming "many" years ago, so there has been no big surprises yet, but it's been a good way to refresh my memory.
I want to finish reading the book, then (maybe) read another book that targets .net programming, and then (maybe) rewrite B_Uptime completely in Embedded Visual C++, and then have a go at the today plugin.
So it won't be done tomorrow. Maybe it won't be finished at all. But you can't say that I'm not trying

Thank you JUVS for the original 6 button comm manager.
The reason I fixed the graphics for this 6 buttons comm manager because its very cheap looking, I still want to remove the additional text and leave only the main titles and the buttons, but I coud'nt figure it out, I looked at the registry and changed the disablebuttontext to different values to see if it will change but actually it messes up the whole thing and I didnt wanna play with it anymore, hopefully someone here can figure it out and let me know so I can make different screenshot.

Is it posble 2 hv th choic of app. ?
Good start, Poorlyduck. Key question for me is how customisable is your version going to be?
Example here is that you use Airplane Mode; we use Flight mode. Semantics, perhaps, but important, nevertheless, in the customising game. Also the range of apps you display isn't necessarily what everyone else might want to cover, hence the question on flexibility.
All the best.

uhmmm, no Wi-Fi???
I have this and Poorlyduck's yellow cube installed, and in both of these apps. these apps look like the writing is in cursive. In the screen settings the text size is set to the center (default), and Clear Type disabled. If I change the text sizeI get very large blocky letters, it also has the same effect if I turn enable clear type. I know that This has been asked before but I cannot find how to do it. I just want to have the basic type of font as shown in Poorlyduck's. My device is a Titan
Thanks.

you need to go to \windows\fonts delete watever font you have there, maybe you installed somerthing that had those 2 fonts. reset the device and you will have normal text.

there is wifi, just install the cab file and you will get it the wifi button automatically, I removed it in mine through the registry, because I have the wifi hardware switch. look at the picture above this post, those are the main buttons you will get when you install. to customize just replace whichever you want in the registry editor.

hmm the fonts folder is empty already. so it must be caused by a program that was installed. ill have to check it out later this week when rebuilding my phone from that new rom is comming out

I'm interested in whatever you find out. I have the same issue with a cube I have just installed and like you, I found th efonts folder to be empty.
WB
can you copy from your computer \window\fonts Tahoma and Arial fonts to your ppc \windows\fonts and reset, let me know how it goes.
Yup that fixed it. Thanks Poorlyduck
Well it fixed the Comm Manager but not the Cube, oh well never really found the Cube usefull
Gets more interesting, I got the correct font for the Comm Manager by copying over the fonts, then installed the Cube and then soft-reset and now the Comm Manager and the Cube have the cursive font. Uninstalling the Cube didn't help, and now I cannot delete the fonts because everytime I try to it gives the "being used by another program issue"
Here is the fonts if anybody needs them.

I am using Karmba's ROM & in the comm manager there is "3G" instead of Data Connection.
I checked in the registry value, number 4 = "3G" not "DataDisconnection". Is it the same function when i want to disconnect my data connection?
I need the "Data Connection" in my comm manager instead of "3G", should I delete the registry value or replace the value? please explain it to me.
thanks
I know this is off topic with the thread but since you guys are talking about it. How easy is it to change the System font? Can it be done?

Im with sprint service and we dont have 3G, I cant tell you if it will work if you replace the "3G" with "datadisconnection", dont delete it it, just try to replace it with "datadisconnection" .
Either way both are wireless data, if you turn off "3G" actually it will disconnect your data connectivity.

Hi all,
I have lurked on this forum many times and have found it very useful especially in terms of my recent ROM update issues with my new Diamond .. which turned out to be the HK version - gah! .. but that is another story.
I just wanted to let people know that I have written a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap. There probably are other tools like this kicking around, but I couldn't find one that was any good.
Main Memory fills up pretty fast on the Diamond if your not careful to install absolutely everything to the storage card, and also set your default save location to the storage card.
The screen shot below is of the app and the Main Memory of my Diamond after I found and killed off the offending files.
Anyhow, if your interested you can mosey on over to the download page: here
Cheers,
James.

Update 1.2 Standard:
- Added a version for Windows Mobile Standard (or Smartphone in the old terms - non-touch screen)
Update 1.2:
- Improved performance, added more status notifications to indicate what its doing during delays
Update 1.1:
- Orientation switching added
welcome to our forum. interesting tool!
Thanks for the welcome
I am curious to find out if anyone will find it useful. I have put it on several phones of guys I work with and they have found all sorts of garbage clogging up their phones.
Will give it a few days - maybe some people will try it out.
J.
thank you for the app/tool!
working fine and showing all...
in yr pic i can see you are using the app in portrait but it takes all the screen.
warning: this app is better viewed in landscape. this mean i have to stop tf3d and rotate the screen or use the gtool....in portrait the app is 1/3 of the screen. anything i should know? vga/qga related?
i can not see any garbage but this might be as a result of intensive use of SkTools and it's cleaning tools.
opera is a monster in device and iGO8 is the champion on my internal memory.
i'll take a better look in the evening.
Thanks for trying it out!
Yeah - I'm not handling the switch to landscape mode, however if you start the app while already in landscape mode it should be fine.
I'm using the HTC stock ROM in my Diamond so I'm not really sure how to disable TF3D and change into Landscape. However its fairly easy to change the code to handle the event and have it recalc for the new dimensions. Will put it in 1.1! Shouldn't take long
Cheers,
J.
thank you
will try this out on the rom im using when i get home later
Oh yeah - and something that is probably not obvious to everyone is that you can click on the folders to zoom-in and take a closer look at the folder contents.
Maybe I should underline the folder names or colour them blue or something ... Hmmm.. will have a think about that.

lol i already tried with no success! maybe because is too small (1/3 of the screen).
btw, disabling tf3d is easy. go to settings/personal/today/items and disable the tf3d like any other plug in . after that you''l have the "old" today screen.
go to settings/system/screen and rotate yr screen.
i did the above, rotate the screen and open yr app but again i got only 1/3 of the screen!

Thanks for telling me about the Setting->Today->Items. That did indeed turn off TF3D, but then on the Settings->System->Screen couldn't find the screen rotate thing. There are three tabs (Alignment, Clear Type, Text Size) - It is 1am here, perhaps it will be there in the morning.

i have 3 tabs also: general, clear type, text size.
on general you have on the top of the tab "orientation" with 2 options "portrait" and "landscape" and underneath you have "align screen".
ye, sure try again after a good sleep..lol
interesting that you have "alignment" and i have "general" containing "orientation" and "align screen". this is wm thing...why different?
Very nice app, thanks

Hmmm checked it again this morning but its still not there - HTC must have taken it out of their latest stock ROM (I'm on 1.93.831.1)
Oh well - I tested it in the emulator and new version (1.1) handles the orientation change fine now
Can you tell me if it works for you on your Diamond? 1.1 CAB is here
Cheers,
James.
Tried doing the rotation automatically using GSen with v1.1, rotates the screen and app fine but can take up to 15 to 20 seconds to rotate.

Could you try 2 scenarios for me?
- Start up the app and then rotate to landscape before doing a scan
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
If there is a major time difference in the time taken to rotate between these two scenarios, then the problem is something to do with MobileMonger. Otherwise it must be something else. Hmm.

Did that and the screen and app rotate instantly.
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
Doing the above and it's a little quicker, but still takes and average of 10 secs to rotate once the results are displayed.
looks like a great tool , is this QVGA compatable ?
@ Jamzb ... does 3 have the Diamond on a plan or did u get urs from elsewhere ?

Yes - should be - I have DPI detection to change the font sizes up for devices less than 192 DPI ... i.e. 320x240. Obviously since there are less pixels the folder depth displayed can be less ... but on the up-side rendering is faster

I got mine pre-release from Hong Kong and since had a difficult time getting the official updated 1.93 stock ROM for it. (It came with 1.34!!!)
3 do not offer the Diamond as one of their supported phones, but I can tell you its works really well (Just have to get the URL for their Planet 3 service - which I have if you need it)
I'm on the $8(100MB) data plan and have push HTML email from Exchange 2007 enabled with full attachments - and it works very well. Small email takes 5 seconds from the time it hits exchange to then hit my phone.

Great little application ... thumbs up.
Made it to Portugal
Someone in Portugal likes it!
http://www.portalppc.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15506
via Babel Fish:
"This is a tool that allows it to visualize to the detail which the programs/filing-cabinets that are “to eat” the memory of its PDA. Without you doubt that this application is exactly impressive! to know more and to make download of this program, it consults the page of the programmer: http://wss.boman.biz/Pages/MobileMonger.aspx"
Hmm perhaps I'll have to add a Portugese language satellite assembly
Hi,
is there a way to include an overview about the RAM usage into this program?
The development of mLock is stopped.
There are different reasons for this decision but the most important one is, that if no time for the further development.
After mPlug, here is my second attempt to build a Windows Mobile application, it's called mLock.
mLock is at the moment only a passcode device lock with no settings except for your own passcode. In the future I will build a settings tool for changing passcodes, show/hide SMS, Email, MMS in passcode screen etc.
Also I try to implement a application lock so that you can define several applications that will be locked by mLock when someone will launch them.
It's very important that you report me every error (maybe with screenshot). That's the only way to make the app bug-free.

so is this going to be able to locke individual applications..for example if i just dont want anyone to read my messages will this program be able to lock only my messages
Thanks, Looks good I will give it a try later today.

No, because I've still some little bugs which I want to fix before I release it. I found them today while playing around with mLock.
I'll release it in the next two days.
i think you need to implement the slider option on this it looks just as good as slide to unlock and it would be a true iphone copy it looks like to me...

No I won't implement a Slide2Unlock Option therefore I recommend you to take S2U2. Maybe I'll add a option to start mLock after S2U2 is unlocked. Let's see what's coming
My suggestions for what it's worth...
1. Lose the iPhone look
2. Bigger buttons to be more finger friendly
3. Option to wipe device after a user specified number of wrong attempts

1. The application will be fully skinable, so do what you want.
2. The buttons are big enough. I don't have small fingers and I can control all buttons with my thumb.
3. Sorry I can't follow you, do you mean a option to do a hardreset after someone entered the code several times wrong?

suggestions
I have been looking for an app that has more extensive security features and asked developers to look at my suggestions, alas no feedback so far! so my suggestions:
1. my phone is for work with staff, work with clients, family for home, and personal. So I would like a pin code access for different purposes.
2. My contacts and my calendars and my tasks are all categorised, so each of these should be visible or invisible depending on the passcode entered. So work is visible at work and all others hidden. All work hidden when at home, failed passcode hides everything, private passcode shows everything (rather advanced and unlikely)
3. I would like contacts and tasks and calendars either negative or possitive categories visible with a particular passcode, eg show with category=X only, and show if category <> Y
4. I would like emails from multi sources (hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail and works push email) AND text messages visible or in visible depending on whether the contact is also visisble or invisible bsed upon there categories
5. Keyword inclusions could also be set to visible or invisible. That is if a text email or diary contact or task contains a particular key word, make invisible
so what I don't want is the public seeing anything at all that just want to look, my staff seeing my private stuff, my clients seeing my private or staff stuff and my family seeing my work stuff.
At this point I go into major freaks and cardiac fits if anybody touches my phone.
So, that should keep you busy for a while!

the hard reset option after several wrong attemps is a nice idea. It will prevent any data theft if the phone is stolen or something...

What you're talking about is a completly different programm (sense). I think what you're looking for is something like that. It's not my target to code such a application, I only want to develop a access control for the device and several application when someone launches them. Sorry that I can't help you with your wishes.

However, I will be watching this thread with great interest and wish you luck in your work merlot.
will the newest version work on a vga touch pro cause id really like to use it!!! if not then can you make a vga version please!!!
It's on my ToDo list but I don't know when I can do it. I've only little time at the moment and I'm currently working on the settings tool.
