I just found out that I can run s2u pro and A_C's s2us at the same time.

[stroths]

Any advantage to using this over the new S2U2 which has a settings app?

S2U2 .81 Released 11/10/07
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=1650809

[xxza]

this also comes with a configurator, no need to play registry

Might be smaller (free RAM: ~ 8K in background!), doubt its any faster.

Lacks caller ID, next appointment, use dpad to unlock?

I'd say no advantage for me, as I really like those features, but if you don't need them, looks to be a nice alternative.

Has any one of these developers included a timer function? How great would it be for this to have the screen/keys lock out after X seconds?

You can do that in s2u2, simply use the configurator to set "Start on backlight off" to the on toggle.

Then make sure that in your power management settings of your ppc, you set the backlight to go off at 10s, 30s, 1min, or whatever you like

I have mine set to cut slide2unlock2 on after 30 seconds of idle, and then sleep my phone after 5 seconds of s2u2 being idle

I played around with these settings and my program doesn't start automatically.


I think imma take this program off.

[sj808]

never mind... I see you have to restart the device to have settings work.

Is there really no Dpad unlock on this? I like that it supports different image format for wallpapers though.
