I believe S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418) is an awesome application and it's a shame A_C isn't actively trying to make it work better with smartphones, as well. So, I decided to take the last version that still works okay (for us) and prepackage all the required settings to make it work right and look like the screenshots below.
You'll notice the weather icon at the bottom. It's updated from my miniweather application and the next release of miniweather (very soon) will have builtin support to update the weather information on S2U2's display. Keep in mind that this application has be launched manually in order to lock your phone, so it's best to use with SmartToolkit where you can assign a hotkey to launch s2u2.exe (I personally use the Spacebar with a 200ms delay).
Another way to launch is to reassign a different key, such as the tzones key, by editing the appropriate shortcut in the \windows directory, to launch s2u2.exe.
Anyway, enough blabber, here's the cab.... Please test and let me know how it works
seems to take high memory resource, so i have to kill the app after unlocking...anyway great works...
Yeah you're right... it takes about 6 megs the way I set it up. Which is a lot for an Excalibur, but not really an issue on my Blackjack with 128Mb of RAM, hehe.
Anyway, if you remove the wallpaper.gif from the gfx\ folder and maybe either use a static wallpaper or NO wallpaper, the memory usage should go down A LOT.

Haha yah well thanks for putting this together for us man...
Also if I would like to remove the weather from showing up how do I do that because I think that is eating a lot of memory too...
Also, sorry about all these questions but is there any way to have this autostart when you restart the phone, like have it autostart like a process?
You have to edit the registry to do that, but trust me, it doesnt eat up RAM at all. Anyway, go to HKCU\Software\A_C\S2u2\ and find ShowWeather and set it to 00. If you want it off the screen, just delete the "UserWeather" key.
How can we get this app to show weather for other user weather apps? lets say showaco's or outerdepth's weather apps? I have the ShowWeather key set to "5" and i have the UserWeather key as well, but theres no values in the UserWeather key and i dont see anything on my S2U2 screen with the weather on it
You talk to showaco or outderdepth and have them add one or two lines to their weather script, to update the "Userweather" key in the registry

Ahhh .. i see....thats not too hard....but what about the weather icon...can that be done as well or just the actual weather temp?
The weather icon gets updated to the current conditions, of course. The string below it can be whatever you want it to be

well i see that there's a gfx/weather folder, but i don't see how or where it's linked in the s2u2 registry . i mean i see from your .cab that the user weather shows C|34|Fair 57F ...so your saying that since it says "Fair" it know what icon to use? and secondly i saw in your pics where it has your city "Las Vegas", yet i dont see that anywhere in the reg entries in the S2U2 keys....
Hmm I love the clean look. I just don't know if I want another screen to access my homescreen? I will have to do some more research on slide to unlock 2.
I kinda of want to read some feedback.

If your read the FAQ in the original S2U2 thread, you will understand how it works. "C" means "custom icons". The 34 is the file it will display "34.png" and Fair 57 is just... that.... Mine says Vegas because I'm in Vegas. I removed the Las Vegas wording from the cab, as it's irrelevant

Well it's more like a replacement lock screen for the usual lock screen of the smartphone. With this you just push the right directional key to unlock, instead of turning the phone one, pushing the unlock softkey and then the "*" key, which is a major PITA and it always annoyed me about smartphone. PLUS you get a cool info screen that you can look at without unlocking the phone!
its working great, i cant change any of the settings tho...
would it be possible to control the slide with the joggr?
nice have to check this out when i get the wife's blackjack II
this is great tht you took the time to get this to work in d dash. i have a question ,my appoinments are not showing, the weather icon is not updating and have no idea how to activate the locking and unlocking sound.
Guys, in order to set any of the settings you need to either get SOTI Pocket controller or MyMobiler. Or, edit the registry directly with the help of FAQ shown in the main application thread
yeah, i have mymobiler and follow all the proper procedure in faq but still not showing the updated weather icon or appoinments so on
Is there any software on your x1 that u would like to have as a panel?
If there is please post a message with the path to the exe and i will try and make a panel.
If u can find 2 pics (one portrait and one landscape to match the software it would help.
ps. with a bit of luck some of the will turn out like my Google Maps Panel V2
(I will try my best but some may not work, and its only standard software, not plug in or UI)

Have Fun
An offer I can't refuse!
I'm not looking to have a specific program Panel-ized, but rather I'm interested in a panel that can disable TF3D upon entering(unless TF3D is turned off when you switch panels I'm not sure) and shows you a list of installed games or 3D apps. I Like to play games on my phone in short bursts and only when I need to kill a minute or 2, would be nice If it was a bit quicker to get right to the game rather than having to navigate several menus to disable TF3D and then opening programs and running the game.
If This is possible I would be greatly appreciative, also if it were possible to add/remove apps from its list either thru the panel or thru reg edit or editing a file that can be changed simply by adding a line with a link to the program I desire, that would be fantastic.
PS: I realize this is slightly different than what you are offering, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
should be possible to make a panel that opens your games folder (showing all your games, or to open a game (solitare etc).
not sure what u mean by add/remove list? do u mean the uninstall menu?
I will see if i can make a few panels for games, see what u think.
im using a standard rom, i dont know if your rom has a different path to the exe's, but will try and u let me know if they work on yours
im having a problem making it open the folder, for some reason when u tell it to autoload a folder it activates opera and shows u it as a page.
should be able to make any game autoload if u can give me the path (eg. program files - games -solitare).
still looking into the uninstall program (cant seem to find the exe in windows, if any one knows please let me know)
i will keep testing
sorry, I didnt mean uninstall, I meant have the ability to add or remove a game from being listed in the panel since I hope to add more games to my phone in the future, but if you want to just have it open a folder with shortcuts to my current games I suppose that would be easier and you could just use the current windows\start menu\programs\games folder which should be the same for everybody. All I'm really looking for with this is to be able to push panel button select "game Launcher" panel and select a game while having TF3d disabled while this panel (and subsequent game) is in use.
Again thank you for taking the time to help me and I'm sure anyone else who wants to play 3D games with this panel.

thanks for the proposal,
for me, I would LOVE to have the abililty to have the alarm clock, strait, and not having to goes to setting for activating an alarm...
I would like to know how, to create a path, for say, some folders who are located in the microcard, and we could goes on and on...
Thanks you...Also, very often when I try to install a software, even, when it tell me the software was beautifully installed, I never truly know, where it is, and, very often too, I can not see or use it....I do wonder if this could also be related to the size in pixels of some applications...?
I was thinking for my perfect panel......
Some thing like panel manager, but with the running apps.
Could you catch me????
I I have 2-3 or more apps (usually 2-3) running at the same time, if I press Xpanel button, the panel launch icons of the apps running, so i can touch the app I want to focus.....
Could be Possible????

look in the romove program settings, see if the software is there.
could be lots of reasons why its not working:
it may not be made for wm6.1
it may have to be installed in the phone memory not sd card
(dont think its the size of the screen as it would still show up as an icon but would not work when u start the program).
is it the built in alarm u want or a different program (eg spb time)
to get the path i need just go on the file explorer and list the path from the device to the alarm.exe (eg = sd card - program files -handy alarm - alarm.exe).

i dont think its possible to do without knowing serious programing. it is possible to make a panel that u press on that has still pics for each app (3 apps = 3 still pics) that u can press on to send u to the app u want.
for this i need the path to the 3 or more apps (program exe files) to make this happen

Hi guys-
this is really a great forum - thanks for the great work! Excellent help for a TP2 newbie.
Touch Pro2 impressions: I just upgraded (vzw) from my ancient (and yet incredibly reliable) Motorola Q, and this thing is truly awesome. I used a Touch Pro almost a year ago, and returned it because it felt sluggish and a bit buggy. I think the 2 is a major improvement. Very responsive, great phone and speakerphone, great wifi and bluetooth and gps, great keyboard (but no tab key?), better battery, surprisingly inexpensive.
Questions that I couldn't find answers to in previous threads:
1. Reminders: I see that the calendar reminders do not allow any option for changing the snooze time - it is just 5 minutes. Weird, as my WinMo 5 Q would let me choose a range of time, from 5 minutes up to a week, as I recall. This is disappointing. But even more disappointing is that when it is attached via usb to my pc, synched, and a reminder pops up in Outlook (2003), I can snooze on the PC, but that snooze does not synch with the TP2. Any ideas or suggestions? This is actually very frustrating.
2. Calendar: I have seen screen shots of the day view that has weather, even for future dates. I don't have that - anyone know how to enable?
thanks in advance for any help!
This worked for me to get the snooze options back:
Start a registry editor and navigate to key:
HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM
Change the value of CustomUIDLL from NotificationLayout.dll to NotificationLayoutNew.dll
Just add New, it won't find that .dll and starts the old interface, with the snooze option.
Don't forget, after the registry change, turn the TP2 off and back on to activate.
Regarding your question about the weather forcast in the calendar day-view, you need to set your city in the World Clock screen (ie, tap the large clock on the Home tab).
There's a great hack (cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze Options) which gives you the snooze options back.
Also worth looking at are "InboxExtender", (allow read all, delete al options) and "Smaberg X1 Powerbutton 12 icons actionscreen" (12 options on holding the power button down)
You guys rule!
@itm - reg fix works great - thanks
@ohyeahar - that's it, thanks
@en_croute - I will try it as soon as i get some time, sounds useful, thanks

I just noticed that the current weather is not shown for me either.
I do have a city selected. In the "day" view on the calendar is just shows the single appointment I have. If I change to yesterday. I do see a weather picture. I went to the TF3D weather tab.. it was initially blank.. it updated and showed the current weather. I went back to the calendar view.. still nothing for "today". Only yesterday. Any ideas?
What is a good registry editor?
Never used one before and I need to find one so I can get my battery icon back after doing Battlevel.cab .

PHM_Regedit or Total Commander are the two most recommended ones here.
PHM is a little easier to navigate/use (mostly due to visual elements), but Total Commander also has a full set of file-explorer functions that PHM does not. Both are free.
Thank you so much sirphunkee. I was beginning to think nobody talked to newbies on this forum. I'll definetly be looking both of these up.
Okay I looked at both of them and downloaded the PHM_Regedit. Now I can't figure out if I should use MyMobiler to drag the Zipped cab file over or if I should unzip it first? When I unzipped it it did not look like a cab file. Does this work on a Sprint phone? Some of the cabs don't work on a Sprint phone. I'd hate to do another hard reset to get it to work like it is.

Hey there, no problem...we were all new here at one point, and asking the same types of questions
I'm not sure what source you downloaded it from, so I'm not entirely sure how it might have been packaged, but I would have guessed it should have just been a regular .cab file inside of a .zip. Either way, you can just download and use the cab I've attached here, I can confirm this one works just fine.
You can use MyMobiler to drag the cab over to your phone (it drops it in your "my documents" folder by default), and it will start the install automatically for you. Once you have it installed, you'll just find the icon to run it in your regular list of programs. And yes, it will work just fine on the CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) versions of the TP2...it's specific to what type of processor your phone has, not what type of radio.
Now, if you're not entirely familiar with registry editing, it's a good idea to read up on it a bit...it's very simple to do, but also very simple to create issues by doing the wrong thing. Also, it's always a good idea to create a backup of your registry (PHM can do that for you, just store it the backup on your SD card for safe keeping), in case anything goes wrong, you can just revert back to the working version
Please, can anyone help?
I just recieved a new Verizon Touch Pro 2 and am trying to find the tweaks to set it up the way I would like. Frankly, I have spent hours looking and have not been able to find everything. Yes, this is cheesy and weak, but I am just burned out.
I am looking for some help on how to:
1. Change the 'Start' menu to use small fonts and work more like the standard Start menu (I do not use the Touchflo interface)
2. Disable word complete when using the keyboard. My ham hands keep messing things up.
3. Unlock the top of the screen so touching the battery icon takes me to power settings, touching the connection icon will let me disconnect data or start the connection manager and touching the volumn will bring up a volumn control. I really dislike having that area just open notifications.
4. Is there some decent, free theme generator out there? I was pretty happy with the one I had on the Omnia 1, but the TP2 seems to be pretty locked down for Touchflo.
I am sure there are more things, but hopefully getting these key things accomplished will remotivate me to try and go and find everything else myself.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if I am feeling up to it this weekend I will play with my old Samsung and see what use I can make of it. Until I brick it, most likely. I am thinking about learning to create my own ROMS, and seeing if I can create one with no phone functionality at all. Useless? Probably. But something ingteresting to do on these long winter weekends.
1. TF3D2 Tweak. This has this option. (Pretty sure that's the right link, if it isn't then Google is your friend)
2. When your is displayed, mid-left there is XT9 and ABC, make sure that ABC is highlighted.
The others I'm not too sure about. Let me know if this helps.
3. go to HKLM\Services\NotificationManager\ in your registry.
Change the "flags" entry to 4 instead of 0, and it should go back to the default windows mobile notifications (any value other than 0 worked for me to switch back to the old style, but I saw another post that suggested "4").
I would also like to apply that change to unlock the top bar but am getting an "Access Denied" message when I attempt to change it.. Using mobregedit to do it.. what should I do?
ive searched the threads and cant seem to find a way to disable the accelerometer. it drives me crazy in bed when im trying to use opera it keeps flipping. i want to just be able to change orientation when i open the keyboard. otherwise ill do it manually. does anyone have a solution besides the taping the magnet one.

Since you didn't say which ROM you were using, I'm going to assume you're on the stock one with TF3D. Go here to turn it off: Start > Settings > System > G-Sensor.

im using the stock sprint rom with the 6.5 upgrade. Ive disabled touchflow and use spb mobile shell. Ive gone into start settings system g sensor but there is only a option to calibrate the g sensor nowhere do i see any other options for anything. I dont think there are any differences wether i access the setting through touch flo. Maybe your rom adds that setting. Thanks for the reply and trying to help.
Delete the apps of your choice (in this case Opera) from the White List in the registry to prevent G-Sensor rotation. White List location is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
If registry edits scare you, you can install the G-Config app. This simple program just edits the registry through a user-friendly UI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991
Open G-Config, you should see Opera on the list of Rotated Apps. Select and hold on Opera until the option to "Remove" pops up. Select "Remove" than exit G-Config, and soft reset the phone to make the change take effect.

Hi thanks for the response. i use opera mini and its not on the list. I added it and then tried to remove it but that did not work. I guess its only good for disabling g sensor for the programs that it comes with - I was succesful at disabling rotation with the opera on the list that comes with the stock rom. Any other suggestions? Ive never edited a registry but am williing to try if you can tell me how. thanks.
