New Ideas for S2U2 Settings.... [Archive]

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 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358187) 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!!

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.

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?

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?

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!!!

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.

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.

WB

umm... surely this would defy the point of having S2U2? the ease of unlocking... i suppose you could have it so you slide the slider across, then have the screen split into 4 large numbers, and you enter the PIN. Thats gotta be pretty safe, i know you said about a strong lock, but PIN numbers for credit cards are only 4 digits...

i agree with the today plugin tho :)

you can - kind of - by adding S2U2 to your HTC home plugin launcher page (if you have it installed) - though its a little bit of a pfaff.

I wouldn't mind the ability to adjust the transparency of the curtain and the text size of the appointments/date/crap on screen.

Being able to move stuff around on the screen would also be nice.

Pin/alpha lock should be a user-selected option. If you like the simple slide unlock function then fine. However if you happen to be in an environment where more security is required but you want it to be embedded into the S2U2 interface then what you are suggesting could be a viable alternative.

Re S2U2 being a Today plugin, I am aware you can fiddle about with HTC Home to get it in there; however not all of us use HTC home, preferring other superior interfaces. :)

BTW, this thread is a really good idea. I know A_C listens to suggestions and tries to incorporate them into his tool. The wallpaper changer is one I can think of that made the light of day, with a gentle, erm, hint to the developer. :)

Is there a way to make it the default? I want it to override the default locker i dont want it and dont see any use for it. so there is no need of it. So someone please make it be able to override or whatever.

I just changed the bottom left soft key to "lock" which invokes S2U2.exe.

thanks, but that is not the answer i am looking for. i am looking for it to override the built-in device locker. i dont want to set up to any buttons. the only thing i want to is to override my built-in device locker to s2u2.

thanks

Sorry, just tried it; does not work (and yes, I have S2U2 ver 0.97 installed).

Over to A-C to do something for us then.

Thanks

I don't know if this request is feasible or not.. but I'd like to be able to answer a call using my htc headphones by pressing the button on the mic, WHILE keeping the slide to unlock and/or slide to answer functionality.

Currently I can only do this if I have slide to answer off, and hide all soft keys enabled (which means no slide to unlock bar)

Also I can't seem to get S2U2 to come up when I press the power button to bring it out of suspend/hibernate/whatever, when the audio manager is on.

hi there! thanks to A_C developers for grate work! for me would be very helpful option if S2A will be steel locked during incoming call & call status information after the call hang up without enabling "lock on wake" feature

Rather than having to edit the lang.ini file to add in extra clocks how about an app like s2v to select the clock as well

Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..

any insight on how to do this registry edit?

i am using s2u2 settingplus and the program isnt working for changing any text on my htc sprint touch

i can add wav files ok and they work but cannot change text

i am now trying to remove the sound completely and cannot do that either...

what are the proper steps to make changes go into effect on s2u2 settingsplus

make change ... then on bottom left soft key.. select save
then select restart iLock
then bottom right .. close , with restarting iLock...?
