He no longer owns the i730 (or at least its not his primary device). Last i knew he was working with an HTC handheld. He moves from device to device every few months. He doesn't lurk here anymore as far as I know.

That's ok -- he can write it to run on any WM5 device!
Thought I'd resurect this thread, since this has now been released and I've got it loaded on iSammy as of today...
All the buttons on the launcher screen are configurable via a button. The menu and slider lock are separate apps, so you can assign the lock to a button.. Only thing I see that doesn't work is the time is wrong (appears to display GMT versus your local time).... Only had for 20 min so I haven't exhausted this...
Its a bit buggy it seems. Locking the phone caused the slide.exe application associated w/ locking to crash. 2nd run and it was OK. I've noticed the time is wrong on my device when viewing it from this application (over 3 hours off). The settings button also appears to try to open Wirelessmanager.exe which the launcherapp doesn't get along with (crash).

The config.ini needs to be setup for our device, not sure that we have all the programs, but that should be an easy fix. I haven't had a lockup or crash yet, though I do know that when the phone is locked, docking does not allow activesync to work....
I am not heavily using the launcher, since I have a bunch of today screen things I like. I really wanted the screen lock. Right now, I just have it assigned to a softkey....
Appears to unlock (or stop), when an incomming call comes...
still more playing to do...
Hey, with the source code available (along with the source graphics), its fully skinnable and customizable
edit: and oh yeah, the time seems to be off by five hours (GMT maybe)??

Ive fixed many of the config things.
Yes, the graphics are included and can be skinned to your custom choice.
I see the source is included but I do not know the language used (Pocket Programming Language) or have the compiler (freely available and linked to off the site where this was downloaded). The time zone appears to be set to GMT -2 Middle Atlantic, I think. We probably need to recompile it w/ the correct time zone set.
The change log to my config:
Changed texting to the SMS threader app
Note you'll want to ignore my line about text=\Windows\Messaging.exe unless you have the Palm SMS threader app installed.
Changed the settings like to open our wireless manager
Changed the ipod button to open windows media player.
activesync works fine when i run it. I just would like to get the clock changed from greenwich mean to local time
I am keeping this program on my i730 simply to use as a novelty in showing people my new "iphone." In reality, its not as good as the today screen and programming I have running now. But, its interesting to look at.

I started looking at the source. Give me a bit to see if I can make heads or tails of it. So far all I can tell is that its grabbing system time and preforming a few checks on it. Not sure why its getting the wrong time.

Andrew - I was looking at the code as well, I am wondering if it should be using the "GetLocalTime" versus "GetSystemTime" calls (I'm not a programmer, anymore, but was muddling around with the help, etc.)
Activesync seems to be working better for me... so it may have been something just lingering.
Someone there, has fixed, but not posted either a new .exe or their source changes. I'm going to post their and see what I can find.
I'm still only using the slider lock, since that is my primary interest (though the iPhone candy is fun for showing others...)
Here are the things that I have noticed so far with the slider:
1. Does not react well to notifications (activesync messages, screen changes, etc.) Sometimes it works, sometimes not. By looking at the code, it does not appear to have any notification handling so, for instance, if a notification bubble comes it, to either shut down or trap and handle the notification and resume, etc.
2. Incoming calls appear to get through, though a bit messy. Again, appears to be a notification issue. When a call does come in, it basically exits the application... (or at least attempts to)
3. Wishlist: Some sounds would be nice (all optional of course)
a. Sound when the lock is activated
b. A sliding sound when you move the slider
c. A confirmation sound when you actually successfuly unlock
d. An error sound if you don't fully slide but release
4. The background .bmp doesn't not appear to support transparency (not sure if that is a logic thing or the .bmp... I'll try to play with it.). Along your lines where you like your today screen setup, having the background have transparency would allow you to let the today screen show through (maybe)... Of course that would raise the requirement for some options for showing/hiding the top bar and the clock with the time date... but that's for version 1.1

Since neither of us are programers, lets not even think about wishlists. That type of thing tends to get peoples hearts racing and they end up disapointed when people cant reach those goals. If people on the other forum figure it out let me know.
As for the background. .bmp images dont support any form of transparancy on any OS. .PNG or Gif's are the only image types I know of off the top of my head that do support this but I'm not sure that a png or a gif would work w/ this application. Lets step back and see what the real developers can do.
