Unlock P1 keypad and TS like Iphone?


Click to view updated thread with images




Posted by remirez
Hi guys, have a look at the video on this page.
At the very beginning, the guy seems to unlock the TouchScreen by sliding a lock on the screen a la Iphone. The rest of the Iphone theme used is known already (clownfish pic plus iphone icons) but the unlock function is new to me.
Has anyone tested that? Does it work?

Hi Remirez...spookily...I was watching this earlier on youtube... but I strongly suspect...the locked screen...is a screensaver..... notice the cingular logo on top left of screen...and the fact the slider block does not move across the screen as the finger moves....just goes straight to the iphone themed P1 home screen....

Posted by remirez
Yeah Smiler, well spotted, it does indeed look like a screen saver.

Matter closed then

Posted by smilerthe cheshirecat
Still bit naughty using their finger like that though isn't it

Posted by remirez
You can now download a sis version of a popular java applet called Iphone lock. It allows you to unlock your uiq 3 phone like you would an iphone ie by sliding a little er..... slider

It's pretty cool.

Remember to unlock the phone's automatic keypad lock and to 'launch' the app whenever you want to lock the phone. A nice little shortcut or Gdesk should make all this more practical.

Here is the link and credits to the developper Kwull (I think) from smart-se.ru
http://www.uiqblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/iphonelock.zip

Remember it's a beta realease and there is still room for improvement but it's a big improvement on the java applet.

@ remirez - thanks mate nice looking app

Posted by ares
yeah the app is pretty cool...and i like what nipsen did with it





Posted by AD
Does any one know how nipsen changed the background image/text?

Posted by remirez
Apparently, you can change most the components as they all are in an mbm file (some sort of archive with image files inside). The mbm file is somewhere in the d:/shared folder.

Here are the instruction staken from http://www.imserba.com/forum/showthread.php?p=830731


-open your memory card with thru ur pc
-open D:/Shared/iphone and copy SKIN.MBM
-just add the wallpaper 240x320 in the skin.mbm through the mbm tool
-once uve open it delete the old wallpaper
-save the mbm file with the same name SKIN.MBM


Posted by AD
Thanks man, that works for me!!

Posted by Sebby
This is cool!

Posted by arvinlad
I like this...

I've modded my theme with a W960 based theme and added the shortcut to iPhoneUnlock - shown here as the orange padlock icon...



and here is my customised iPhoneUnlock screen...



It's not too hard if you follow the instructions right! - which I managed to mess up to start with

Enjoy...

It's Java app I heard it consumes battery. I stop using it altogether after I use Gdesk.

actually, this one is a native UIQ app .SIS and doesn't have the problems the java version did

Posted by borgyt
does this mean it doesn't drain the battery as badly as before? that's my concern about using this otherwise cool app.

Posted by Peio
On my P1 the photo button on the right side of the phone isn't locked by the app.. Is it a bug?

Posted by Sebby
That's exactly what it means.

Posted by remirez
Just for info, I've been using the app for 24 hours now I haven't noticed any hit on the battery.

Posted by AD
I left mine locked with this app overnight, and by morning I had a crash error dialogue (Kernel exceptipn 3) - hope this was a one off, as otherwise it's very usable.

Oh yes, and I find the web button is also active whilst locked, if it's pressed there is nothing registered on the screen, but as soon as I unlock it - there's the web homepage! I don't think this is a problem though, as it's not possible to blindly follow any links due to the fact that the main keypad/jogdial do not take any input..

No extra battery drain for me either btw.

Also, interesting to note about the camera bug - the auto focus is deactivated, but I can still take pictures, so it looks like the first stage of the camera button is locked, but not the seccond. The only way out of the camera app that I could find was to press the power button (which thankfully is also not blocked), and then press the onscreen back button. The camera does stay active behind the lock screen though.

Personally, I'd fix all the unwanted inputs apart from the power button, as it's pretty hard to press accidentaly, and useful if there's a problem.

An increase in battery drain could occur I would imagine when the phone is in a pocket for example...

The standard keylock system will only show the keylock/screenlock info when keys are pressed not when the screen is touched, and also the screen displays at low light level.

BUT whenever keys are pressed or *the screen is touched* with the iPhoneUnlock the screen is displayed at full brightness as far as I can see...

So I could see that there might be more inadvertant screen activation with the system... How much power that would drain I don't know!

As regards the camera app - I found that I could take pics too and agree that the auto focus square does not appear... but I found that using the 'back button' on the LHS returned me to the iPhoneUnlock screen - so quite handy for a quick 'photo opportunity' LOL

I've just noticed something else too - when the phone is locked, then put on charge, the battery indicator doesn't animate. If you then unlock it, it's working normally underneath. Not really a problem, just a geeky curiosity...

Posted by Sebby
It's a cool idea. How long I'll keep it for, I don't know.

Posted by remirez
Yeah, the status bar at the top had to be recreated for some reason.
At the moment, you can only see the signal strenght and the battery icon.
You won't see the little envelope or the missed call icons unless you unlock the phone.

the status bar should have been left transparent so you could see the 'normal' one. I'll try and change the background picture with a transparent one to see if it allows you to see the normal status bar.

I'll report later.

Posted by AD
I did have a go at that yesterday - don't know if I was using the wrong format of picture, possibly the wrong colour depth, but it distorted the colours of all the overlays above the background image. So I'd keep your original .mbm somewhere if I were you.

Hey guys here is a new version, post taken from
http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/showthread.php?t=85583


"Current: Beta 0.03

- Fixed: Application icon
+ New: Added real network and batery indicators (standart icons from d:\Resource\ZSBLIB\ZSBLIB.MBM or from z:\Resource\ZSBLIB\ZSBLIB.MBM)
+ New: All images stored in d:\Shared\iPhoneLock\skin.mbm - that improoved start speed
+ Bigger date font
+ Added the ability to work in the background, activated after a certain time of inactivity

ScreenBackground - path to the alternative bekgraundu (if not installed, recognized by the theme from) UseThemeBackground
UseThemeBackground - using current topics
UseThemeBackground priority more than ScreenBackground"


I haven't tried it yet.

Posted by Sebby
Could someone registered put the file up somewhere? I really don't want to register just to get it...

Edit: found a login on BugMeNot.com.

All right follow up on the beta 3

I'm currently trying the new beta.
For some reason, the lock doesn't start as soon as you click on the shortcut.
It locks 30 seconds after I think.

And the only background I get is a grey Iphone background.
I have tried messing around with the ini file but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I wish I could use my current theme background.

And it would seem the slider behaves differently in this version.
It is now a bit harder to unlock because the screen of the P1 is not flushed in the body like the W960 so you finger hit the edge of the screen before the phone is unlocked. To the developper I think the way it was implemented in the previous version was better.

Anyone getting luckier with the ini file?

EDIT: I just notice the phone locks automatically now after an idle time.

The lock screen still lights up when you press screen or any key and you can still take a pic when the phone is locked

Posted by Sebby
Which is the correct file? There are 2 on that link; one in the first post and one a bit further down.

Posted by remirez
I have tried the second one.
It works ok.
Maybe I should give a go to the first one?

Posted by Sebby
This is definitely the real iPhoneLock 0.03, from smart-se.ru by kwull.

I like the transitional affect out of this one, not ususally my cup of tea, but it doesn't slow it down.

You can use theme background - you have to edit the .ini file, just change the option from 0 to 1, I found it was far easier to do this on my pc than with quickword.

Web browser/camera/power buttons are still active when locked, but I'd still call this version an improvement.

Keep it up kwull!!!! Thanks if you're lurking!!!!

Posted by Sebby
Out of interest, how do you edit the ini file with QuickWord?! I can't seem to edit...

Posted by Peio
I like that new version too, with the status bar.
What I would like to be improved:
- lock the photo/@ keys
- put the slide bar of the 0.01 version, because it's really more difficult to unlock on the P1i as there's no flushed screen
- add missed call or missed messages as in the picture below found on the web?



Posted by AD
I gave up with QW, thought there must be a way, but that I was being stupid - glad it's not just me. maybe there's a third party txt editor out there (jtext - or was that only uiq2?), but as I don't intend on changing the settings too often, I guess the pc is fine.

EDIT:Out of interest I just had a look for jext found the uiq3 version here:

http://www.my-symbian.com/uiq3/download/search.php?name=jText

works just fine!!

There's no way I know of to change the .ini file's association though, so you have to open jtext first, then select more - file - open.

x-plore lets you edit txt files if i´m not mistaken

Posted by remirez
Yep u can edit the ini file with x-plore.
However I've put 1 for the last 2 lines but I can't get my theme wallpaper to show, I only get the IPhone greyish one.

Posted by AD
you only need a 1 in the "usethemebackground" option, leave the one above blank, as I think this one refers to the built in backgrounds.

Posted by ralliart_rob
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff, but could someone advise as to what setting I need for the screensaver to come on immediately, and for it to show my theme background?

Thanks

Posted by AD
StartOnBackground=0
idleTimeOut=30
ScreenBackground=
UseThemeBackground=1

Works for me...

Posted by ralliart_rob
Thanks @AD,

Works a treat

Rob

Posted by AD
your welcome

just had a play with the "screenbackground" perameter, I'm guessing you can add your own screens to the .mbm file and specify them with this, as the only one I can get is the iphone clown fish. does anyone know if there's a special naming system?

0.03 is good - Thanks!

Posted by Sebby
Working great.

Posted by kewl_usaid
thanks working well for me.

Posted by gizmo21
v.0.03 how to kill the task if start in background = 1 ??

can't find the task in swissmanager and don't know how stop iphonelock except by unistalling.


Posted by AD
Does re-editing the ini file, starting manualy, then unlocking not do it? Otherwise you could always just restart the phone.

Do you have 'show hidden tasks' checked in SMP's settings?

EDIT: Just checked, it's classed as a system task and so is hidden with SMP's default settings, if you choose to show hidden then it appears.

Brilliant!

Thats better set "SliderMoveCenterPos=" "0" instead of "1" (default) then you don't need 5 goes or needle thin fingers to unlock - i was verging on going back to version 2!

Thanks
