Description:
Although S2U2 is now called v1.40, it doesn't mean it can be run perfectly on your device. Thanks to different devices produced by different vendors. So, please test it before use it everyday, especially the CallerID function.
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. And it's has a CallerID function (some devices may not work, so please try it first); and S2P control plugin.
S2U2 is the new version of Slide2Unlock because the old one is a RAM hunger and running it at Landscape mode caused a lot of troubles. So the author started to rewrite the whole thing in C++... and, here it is the new born baby - S2U2. As a new start, this is the most basic version, i.e. it does not have the Caller ID, unread xxx notifications, etc...
Installation:
- If you have Slide2Unlock installed, please uninstall it first & then soft-reset.
- Under your PC/MAC/device, extract the content of the downloaded file & copy the CAB file to your device.
- Under your device, run any File Explorer application; go to the folder where the CAB file is copied; run the CAB file.
- 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.
- If it's your first time to use S2U2, please start iLock2 first.
- 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.

Update Description:
v1.40 (29-12-2008):
- Added option "Power Save Mode"; default is on (1). It aims to save the power:
1. By stopping all S2U2's activities when the device is turned off (including when the screen is off only).
2. By not interfering the power management which is already done by the OS.
3. Suggest users to try it with the default values of "Safe Mode" (0) & "Don't Suspend Power" (0).
4. Suggest to soft-reset the device after the installation of this version or changed this setting.
(However, if it's found S2U2 consumes more power than before, suggest to disable "Power Save" (0). Then S2U2 would run in the same way as v1.3x).
