I thought this was a good working version til I open up the app and the background wouldn't show.


these dudes really should test this thing before releasing each version. Everytime I install it I quickly take it off the device.

[Rommel]

Only problem I have is that the porgram doesn't always start when it should. It seems to work when it wants to. Any suggestions?

[DefRide9]

yea i had the same problem when puttin gthis on mine just a black screen.

Has this not been replaced by S2U2?

It looks really nice, but it doesn't start up when it says it will. I've never had it start. That could be because I have SPB Mobile Shell installed (when I try to get S2U to work, I turn off the Now screen). Also is anybody getting the missed calls/sms icons that are showing on the screenshots on that site? Oh well looks nice, but it's not replacing my mobile shell now screen, until it's fixed.

Using S2U2 i have all my icons, meetings, missed calls, caller id all working.

It has a built in configurator which allows you to decide if it turns on after the backlight turns off, with the device wake-up (thats what i use) and it funcitons both in landscape as well as portrait modes.

I downloaded the .86 version from the link but it didn't come with any built in or settings.exe file. Whats missing or what am I missing?

[sj808]

yeah I finally tried the A_C's S2U2 v.86 and its way more stable then Slide2Unlock Pro.


For everyone trying to figure out how to change the background on the A_C version and do other things, make sure you read everything in the post. He goes into detail about everything so no sense in us repeating ourselves.
