S2U2 v0.99p – Slide to Unlock

S2U2 is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don’t use your device.

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.

- To change the wallpaper 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.

- 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

Mobile Search Device From The Future

28 Feb,2008 Comments by Saijo George.
Category: Non PPC

The future of Internet searching has a strong future, especially as long as companies like the world-dominating Google keep making the most of mobility and advanced search algorithms. The Internet Search: Mobile Version incorporates a touchscreen, built-in camera, WiFi, Google Map and Search, and image recognition to produce a search platform like nothing we’ve never seen.

If you’re wondering what a word means of what building you are standing near, just whip out the mobile searcher and touch the translucent display as you would any touchscreen. The device then conducts a search of the area you clicked on using its image recognition and camera to find search matches for your criteria.
