This option will only work when CallerID is enable & SafeMode is disable.

To change the background photo, simply change the folder in the settings of the program, select the folder which contains the photos you wish to be in the background. To close this application, open the ilock2 file in the s2u folder created in the programme list.

For some reason Image gets distorted when I use full screen in Caller Id. Another problem is that alarm does not sound if S2u2 is running. Anyone there?
***** [Nov 23, 2007] by Yure using Mio A701
This is really great! Works perfectly and runs smoothly. I have a feature request. Instead of turning of the display, could there be an option to make the screen dimmer so I can basicly still see the time but it will not consume energy. Thanks!

Where I get the patcher? For some reason is not working for me.

The concept is good but it is slow to run when the pda is switched on - in my tests, I can reach the phone screen and hit connect before the lock kicks in sometimes.

The screen saver of the flower is on portrait mode and the planet earth screen saver is landscape mode. I would like to know how both screen savers can stay on portrait mode at all times.

I really like this app. It's much easier to deal with than the built in lock functionality. Unfortunately, like an earlier reviewer, I'm finding that memory is leaking over time.
**** [Aug 6, 2007] by Bill using ppc 6700
Works great, but I too would like to change the flower picture in the background.
** [Jul 31, 2007] by Idiotonuni using Axim x51v
Nice app but it is glitchy. It doesn't display correctly on my device but the slider still works. I'd like to see support for the axim.
** [Jul 29, 2007] by Bob using iPaq 6315 Pocket PC
It does not install on my device, plz help.
***** [Jul 28, 2007] by Tina using Sprint 6800
Works great. Just 1 question tho, any way to change the flower in the background?
***** [Jul 28, 2007] by Kyle using asus p525
Excellent work. However, the battery meter did not show properly (empty to be exact) even though it is fully charged.
**** [Jul 22, 2007] by Tom using T-mobile MDA
Works pretty well there seems to only be a few options to lock on its own when it goes to stand by or lock it manualy. I can not figure out how to change the date and time format or I should say where to ajust it at but overall its cool. Thanks .

Great program! Some configuration adjustments needed. But a absolute must for every wm5 user.

Since I have a swedish version, I don't have a "Program Files" folder to copy it too. Please fix...
***** [May 15, 2007] by rOB using MIO A701 Smartphone
Excellent application which does just what it should. Lock your device until you "slide2unlock". No installation but clear documentation on how to run it. A must for PocketPC's.

I really love the iPhone style scrolling. Mine scrolled rather slowly but I think that's more a problem with my skill than the program. One problem I faced when using this program is that I was unable to close the app. It ran in the background and did not show in my task manager for me to close it. That would have been fine, but I think there is a memory leak because this program consumed more and more memory space such that by the end of the day, I had to soft reset it due to lack of memory space to run other apps.
**** [May 15, 2007] by Johnny using Dopod 818Pro
Its really beautiful and works well. 1 issue I did face was that when I entered the password to unlock my device, this program runs in the background. I had to use my task manager to "lock" my phone again.
*** [May 14, 2007] by Steve using MDA Vario
A nice app that copies the intuitive iphone locking system. Looks good and does what it says on the tin. Only minor issues I have is that it takes about a second to load and it doesn't close when I enter my pin if my phone is locked.
