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. - changed some wordings of "s2u2 Settings.exe" - some bugs fixed 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. Configuration: (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2. Please remember to RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings changed, otherwise it won't work): ================================================================================= - Use the "s2u2 Settings.exe" to change the settings. - 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 directly. The default values are added on the first run of iLock2: Autostart=1 IdleStart=0 OffLCD=17 BlankScreen=0 BlankOnTalk=0 ACIdleStart=0 ACOffLCD=0 ACBlankScreen=0 ACBlankOnTalk=0 DateFormat=dddd', 'd MMMM TimeFormat=H':'mm ClockPath=clock\ ShowAlarm=1 ShowAppointment=0 ShowTask=1 ShowWeather=0 AppointmentTimeFormat=h':'mmt CallerID=0 Slide2Answer=0 S2AEndKey=1 PhoneNoFormat= Wallpaper= WallpaperL= GifSpeed=5 GifEndless=0 WallpaperChangeTime=0 WallpaperRandom=0 DpadOn=0 NoSoftKey=0 TopCurtain=1 NoPowerSuspend=0 SafeMode=0 DirectDraw=1 KoreanSMSpatch=0 ExceptionEXE0=iexplore.exe ExceptionEXE1=VoiceCommander.exe ExceptionEXE2=AlarmPopup.exe ExceptionEXE3= ExceptionEXE4= ExceptionEXE5= ExceptionEXE6= ExceptionEXE7= ExceptionEXE8= ExceptionEXE9= - All files under \GFX\ can be modified.

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. 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, the screen 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 other s/w like Inesoft Address Book 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. Some keys are not blocked? A. Please check if you have installed any key mapping s/w that will break 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 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. 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 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. Schettj has created a MortScript to update it through Yahoo's weather, details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1756216&postcount=337 Q. Why there is no current weather info shown? A. Because S2U2 only shows TODAY's FORECAST info from other weather applications. - NOT Compatible s/w: AEButton Plus, WA3, RealVGA Trouble shooting: ================= If you find your device is hang with a blank screen or no response with any key or screen-touch, you may not need to reset it. Please follow these steps if your device has a camera button: - press the camera button to invoke the built-in camera program - press the end call button to go back to Today screen - use Task Manager (a third party freeware; highly recommended) to close the S2U2.EXE Special Thanks: =============== - Forum fellows at xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com).
