PPCGEEKS Phone Lock Slider

[Perasite]

Sure, on the PPCGeeks one, you'll notice:
Unknown
0

0
0
0

This is because my last call was from a blocked number and I have no emails or anything else. I think that if all this info gets placed on the lock screen, then some sort of identifier should be placed in front of each of those items to let you know what they are for.

Thanks again!

Yeah, 1.22 let me compile it. I installed that over the top of 1.23. After doing so, I got a bunch of errors loading PIDE. To fix those, I went to Help, Register PPL Runtimes. After doing that, everything worked fine.

Could you explain how to properly load the launcher. I tried to load .frm and it generated the code. Then I would get an error that said that ppl was either read only or couldn't be found. After closing and reopening ppl i could then run launcher.ppl but only a grey form would pop up.. no icons and such.

Thanks

You need to open the .prj file using the Project menu in PIDE. The launcher needs all three files (.frm and the 2 .ppl's) to properly compile.

OK, I made a PC version of the files, just so it's easy to see what they look like and how the slide lock works. The launcher won't launch anything, but the slide lock works. These files run under Windows XP, and are just to give someone an idea of what the PPC version would look like.

Ok. Will try.

By the way. The issue when receiving an unknown caller will result in the zeros regardless of you text messages. I caught an error last night while going through the code I added. I'm fixin to post a new one compiled with 1.22.

Thank you for your help : )

No problem, and good luck. That PPL sure is a nice application. Thanks for getting that discount code for us. I'd probably pass for $100, but now I'm strongly considering a purchase.

[andason]

kewl. Please don't let the fear of me bugging ya to death stop you from getting it : )

I still get just a grey screen when trying to load the launcher, but i'll play with it more later.

And thanks again for your help

Couple of things. Font is still incorrect. The apple font is Myriad.

Much improvement on load time! (YAY)

If lock is on, and incoming call is recieved, the phone doesn't stay locked, the program moves back in memory so you have to relaunch it which causes 2 versions of the program to be in memory. Ideally the only thing to unlock during an inbound call is the ANSWER and IGNORE soft keys and during phone call the end button. After answer the only thing showing should be the slide lock program.

Ideally, if you turn off the phone (via the power button), when you turn it back on, during the turn on process it should be auto locked.


You're doing a great job, definatly a slick program and I know it will get there.


I'm attaching the myriad fonts. They should be put in the \windows\fonts folder

OK, I've decided to make this easy. I made a .cab file. Download it here: ftp://ppcgeeks:ezupload@up.ppcgeeks....S_Launcher.cab
This is the launcher and fish-background slide lock.
Copy the .cab file onto your phone and then run it to install.
