i’m in a holiday, i know i know…ishouldn’t work.. i know. i know..

BTW,

- solved all the respring issues
no respring needed anymore. all setting changes are applied immediately.

- adding 2do plugin support.

- trying to make colors of calendars match original calendar color

- adding a completely different css style (i think white would be perfect in all the snow here.)

all this is already working on my phone, but as each time i released something it wasn’t stable…
this time i’ll test it out for 3 days at least before releasing.
(donators can always ask for it obviously!!)

    Thank you for your work and for your time spending on this project Ame. Fixing the respring bug is a good news. This lockscreen is very usefull!!
    Hope will see the v2.0 soon.

  2. DaveP Says:

    Donated and love to try it out, thanks for the great work and try and enjoy your vacation!

    Great Work. Enjoy your vacation!

    i can’t wait to get it!
    thanks ame for this amazing work! :D

  5. Mousse Says:

    Will v2.0 be native then?

  6. meilon Says:

    Thanks for the great and customizable theme. I use the german language and I would like to see some things in 2.0 or the following release:
    – Zero filled dates: It looks a little bit odd without the zeros, so for the German language a full dd.mm.yy looks better. From 5.2.10 to 05.02.10 for instance.
    – Line break between date and time in the mail list: Another odd looking thing, for one mail everything fits in one line, for another a line break is added due to a long date. Maybe not needed when using dd.mm.yy dates.
    – Show only one date for calendar items that happen at the same day: For instance if I have a date tomorrow from 10 am to 3 pm, the lockscreen should show me 31.01.10 10:00 am – 03:00 pm and not 31.01.10 10:00 am – 31.01.10 03:00 pm

    What do you think about these ideas?

  7. StarSoft Says:

    @meilon
    The date notation you can change at the strings/language.js (Germany is probably du.js). There is a notation_date_short, look at http://php.net/date which notation you need.

    @ame235
    Good news, can’t wait to see what you done with it :-)
    I noticed tho that I still have the scrollbug at times, but it disappears when I open the calendar or weather. I don’t know what you did last release to get rid of it, as it is much less happening then the one before that.
    Mind sharing what was causing it or what you did to fix it?

    Anyway, don’t work too much during your vacation, It’s still a hobby, treat it like one also :-)

  10. Paul Corneillie Says:

    Great piece of software – I donated last night – can’t wait to try it

  11. Dan Lindholm Says:

    Donation sent.. would love to try 2.0 beta.

    Loved th last version.

  12. ame235 Says:

    @all Generous donors,
    I’m just reemerging from my night which was pretty hard.
    lots of you donated just this night and i did not set a “get the mail of donator automatically” so I’ll have to mail you one by one today the v2.0 beta.
    don’t be too impatient :P

    @StarSoft:
    actually I didn’t do anything against the “abusive” respring,
    and in this new version neither: instead of showing up that message I just refresh the whole theme with new datas.
    Oh and btw, I’ll include you in the v2.0 beta test as you gave some good coding advice! ;)

  13. Hamburg Says:

    Donation sent.. would love to try 2.0 beta also… good work!

    So just to get this straight, only ppl that pay can be beta testers ???

  16. Tate Says:

    Donation sent today.
    Hope you’ll send the v2.0 soon. And thanks again for your work.

  17. Joost Says:

    I´ll test it out too ame235 – thx.

  18. Raul Says:

    Donating to become a Beta Tester? For a free theme? For helping? Sorry, don’t get it.

    Good job so far, anyway.

    mailed file to each donor. (paypal mail address)
    please notify me if you didn’t receive it.

    ;)

  21. DaveP Says:

    Thank you
    couple of problems
    1) there is a red dot on calendar items
    2) with Todo there is a blue box with question mark

    any fixes for this

    Thanks again

  22. Hamburg Says:

    @ame235
    I received no mail…

  23. ame235 Says:

    @DaveP:
    Yes, red dot should be the color of the calendar you set in the event. so, if you prefer another color just change the color off the default calendar you use.
    i have 4 calendars with 4 different colors showing the right way.

    got the todo trick.
    line 635 in lockinfo.js
    replace
    ….images/todo_….
    with
    ….images/”+themeDir+”/todo_….

    @Hamburg:
    resolved.

  24. StarSoft Says:

    Thanks for the Beta, but i have one weird problem…
    I have to note that I dont use winterboard and still use 1.14.
    But when I respring my phone nothing shows up on my lockscreen, it is all empty.
    When I enter the settings of LockInfo and don’t change anything, just look at the settings and go back the lockinfo shows up.

    I didn’t look through the code yet so cant say what it is.

    What DaveP means is that the blue dots are in the middle of the calendar item i think, i have the same thing.
    They are not on the left side, think you placed the class of the dots in the wrong table cell or added the background to the wrong css class, but like i said I didn’t look at the code yet.
    This probably will result in a double post of me, but you are used to it :-D

    In case you know what causes the empty screen, let me know then i don’t have to go through every part. As you know the code fomr head and for me its all new :)

  25. ame235 Says:

    @StarSoft:
    that problem might be due to the delay in loading the scripts..
    i set a 150ms delay for “drawing everything” maybe setting it higher will reduce the risk of empty screen but obviously delay the display/refresh of theme.

    and for the calendar problem, got it.
    it’s because i set the theme to be ok with “Separate Times on left” set to off…

    It also seems like when switching from a theme to another (235teehanlax and snowhite)
    some things get messed up, because of a wrong css file.
    (respring fixes that for the moment, but will be solved)

    will make mods.

  26. Carlo Eussen Says:

    Dear Ame235,

    How do I get the 2do support? I’ve installed the Cydia Lockinfo Package voor 2do.

    Thanks

  27. Tate Says:

    Everything works great for me, only the calendar section shows some difficulties.
    When you choose the “separate Time on Left” dots are going eveywhere on the screen.
    With the option Separate Days, there’s only blanks in the headers.
    But no respring pb!! The most imporatant step for me ;-) .

  28. PH Says:

    @ame235

    where can i find the “lockinfo.js” to fix the todo problem?

    greetz

  29. ame235 Says:

    @Carlo Eussen,
    i did not put the 2Do support for the moment, i have still lots of codes to debug for that.

    @PH:
    Lockinfo.js is in
    /library/Themes/235_teehanlax_Lockinfo.theme/Bundles/com.ashman.LockInfo/js/

  30. PH Says:

    @ ame235

    thank you!!

  31. StarSoft Says:

    @ame235
    Wow I guess my phone is much slower then yours loading those scripts… I put it now on 5 seconds delay, guess I can tweak it to a little less.
    I figured out it didn’t load init() and I tried everything, I doubled the delay you put in there but it didn’t work, so I figured that wasn’t it. :-s

  32. wongnog Says:

    Ame235 this is a great program! Would love to beta test, I’ll send donation shortly. Question though, is it possible to enable the “mark as read” X next to email previews like in LockInfo 2.0.0-7?

  33. ame235 Says:

    I’m sorry wongwong, but as the new FAQ answers that:
    there is no way to do that with a non-native theme for the moment.
    but if anyone finds a way..please tell me ;)

    @Carlo Eussen:
    i cannot get the 2Do app to work here.. there is no “test-it” version that boots.. serahced on appulo.us and apptrackr.org
    so i’ll use your generous donation to buy one copy in order to dev that for you. (seems ou’re the only one who whants that :P )

    @Starsoft:
    strange, as you pointed this prblem of empty screen here last night i got it 10 times, then today, nothing.
    for the moment i can’t figure out where bug could come form.

  34. Alex Says:

    Hi I have donated and received confirmation and where to go for the download 2 problems the page expires or if I am lucky enough to get the page I enter code then that expires a little disappointed.

  35. Paul Corneillie Says:

    I too would be delighted to see the 2Do app in your theme. For the 1.9 version: no problems with my 3GS on 3.1.2. Congratulations!

  36. Martin Says:

    Ame could we get a screenshot of verson 2.0?

    I would love to see it with the new css.

    Cheers.

  37. Martin Says:

    Uhh and 2 suggestions:

    1. The ability to move the sections around. So that you can fx. move Calendar on top.

    2. The ability to only show the start time off an event in the calendar insted af both start and end time. I think it gets a little crowded with both start and end time.

    Keep up the good work. Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Martin

  38. ame235 Says:

    @Alex,
    sorry for un-convenience,
    BTW, i made a new file on a new link and sent back to all donors,
    with several updates:
    - Calendar dot problem.
    - snowhite theme (better finish).
    _ several small things that had not to be.

    @Martin:
    1. that is not possible with the “plugin” but still is possible in the config.js file by moving in sections array.
    well, what could be done is: in settings instead of switching on and off sections, set them a value from 0-10 with 0: off, 1 to 10 position from high to bottom.
    Is this a good solution for you all?

    2. setting for removing endtime: will add.

  39. DaveP Says:

    Thank you update seems better so far so good, hopefully you can add down the line the ability to see the email or click on Calnder event and it opens Calendar, great work!

  40. Alex Says:

    Thanks received email downloading now impressed by you quick response keep up the great work

  41. ame235 Says:

    this is becomming full time job -_-’
    positive part is i don’t have one for the moment :(

  42. Wongnog Says:

    @ame235: ah yes just read the FAQ. Sad to read you can’t implement email previews or mark as read yet. Here’s hoping someone can show you how! Bit confused tho, if it’s part of lockinfo and this is a theme for lockinfo, because this is non native theme that’s what makes it not possible?

  43. Martin Says:

    Ame: Sounds great with that solution of moving the diffrent plugins up and down. And absolutly great that you will add the option to remove end time.

    Small donation have been sent your way. And good luck finding a new job. Shouldnt be hard for a man with your skills.

    Cant wait to try out the beta.

    Cheers,
    Martin

  44. ame235 Says:

    @WongWong:
    this is a choice made from the developer Mr.Ashman.
    Actually he aims at the “fast & reliable” part of his application, not the “look & feel”.
    (BTW, look&feel of default lockinfo is not that bad, is it?)
    trying to figure out how to hijack lockinfo data for mail check or delete.. nothing for the moment tho.

    @Martin
    i already managed to add the “move sections”,
    testing it right now.
    thnx for reminding about the endTime (alread forgot that)
    and also for encouraging me :P (even if “your skills” sounds really weird to me hahah)
    oh and BTW, yours is not a “SMALL” donation!! THANKS!

  45. StarSoft Says:

    @ame235
    Nice to see you worked out the biggest problems. I still have that not loading thing going on. I’ll go test different loading methodes to see if I can get rid of it without the 5 seconds delay.
    There seems to be an alignment problem with the calendar also. The description text looks too high for “normal events”, the bullet (dot) too low for “all day events”.
    I fixed it in the last version to reduce the text size as I like it better when it’s smaller.
    Also the Header text of the days in the calendar looks too high. Put a couple of vertical-align: middle or bottom in your css and it should look fine.

    The relative dates in the todo plugin need a nbsp or a br as right now they are separated in a weird way (at least in expired items, (6d 1h ago)).

    When having “Display relative times”: off, shouldn’t the calendar relative times be hidden also (tomorrow, 2 days, 1 week).

    And you can add a switch in your settings for “var calendarCountToday = true;”

    That’s it for now, will report back when found more :-)

  46. ame235 Says:

    installed latest lockinfo version..
    with lockweatherplugin…
    impressive.

  47. DaveP Says:

    Wierd I am using Lockinfo Version 2.0.1-3 and all is working here on a 3gS, hmmm

    //right, it’s a coding problem from “sections position”
    nothing to do with lockinfo.
    in french they say: “tourner sa langue 10 fois dans sa bouche…”
    or worse but more accurate: “parfois il vaut mieux fermer sa geule et passer pour un con que l’ouvrir et ne laissr aucun doute a ce sujet.”

    MEA CULPA !!

  48. Las Pecas Says:

    Just donated. Would love to test the beta 2.0

  49. Amak Says:

    I’d love to see support for the new rss plugin – see http://twitpic.com/10sd2j

  50. ame235 Says:

    @Amak:
    i’m doing that right now..

    @Las Pecas:
    sent ;)

  51. StarSoft Says:

    @ame235
    I send you a mail about fixing the delay. It wouldn’t let me post it here :-(

  52. ivoyage Says:

    Hi ame235,

    So far everything is working ok (your version 1.9-2). I have upgraded LockInfo to latest (2.0.1-3), I have also downloaded the new LockWeather plugin. So far no crashes.

    Here’s a few things I would like to see for aesthetics:

    Times on Left:
    If Event is an All-Day event, I would like to see “all-day” following the color dot

    I also second an option to turn off “Show End Time” as it starts getting to “busy” looking

    Looking at the original screenshot of the Teehan-Lax concept for this theme I would LOVE to have an option to show the start time as such such (here’s the link to the photo of what I’m talking about:

    http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/element.jpg

    As you can see in the picture the start time is in bold with AM/PM in normal font-weight and slightly Grey…I WOULD LOVE THIS as an option if possible

    Mail Times

    As with the Calendar Event times I would like to see and option for time received in bold font but for mail received a day ago (2 days ago etc…) to have that date as normal type font.

    Would it also be possible to have the calendar times and email times line up in column view?

    Again this is just for aesthetics of the theme to make it look more like the original concept. I fully understand this is all based on limitations of LockInfo and such. I have been looking through the js files trying to understand the coding to get things to look a certain way but I am NOT a programmer and my understanding is very limited but I have been able to change certain things to make look more like the original.

    Thanks for all you are doing!!!

    ivoyage

  53. Martin Says:

    I had a REALLY scary experience before.

    I have installed your beta and then i upgraded to the latest Lockinfo and all my contacts disappered ?!?.

    Not a big problem since i just synced my phone 2 days ago and they all came back after another sync. But still pretty freaky.

  54. ivoyage Says:

    Oh, oh, LockInfo has been updated again to 2.0.2.1!! Anyone interested to load it and see?? I’m too chicken to ;-)

    ivoyage

  55. DaveP Says:

    Just updated, no problems so far:)

  56. Paul Corneillie Says:

    I am Dutch speaking. I uploaded a nl.js file to admin@ame235.com with some minor corrections regarding the dutch language. Hope You include this file in your work. Greetings

    //Ame235 edit:
    YUPYUP mister Corneille,
    sorry for not answering was in the middle of rss integration..
    Mods added, had to check with some “flamands”
    Will check again in Bruxelles on Wednesday,
    I go to party!!! anyone willing to party in Bruxelles on wednesday??

  57. Thierry Says:

    Hi, congratulation for this fantastic theme.
    I would love to try the 2.0 beta 
    keep up the good work and thanks again.

  58. Stephen Anstey Says:

    LockInfo upgrade seems to be fine – can’t wait for the new version!

    Question: is the new theme optional or mandatory? I personally like the dark theme; not sure about it being lighter as mentioned . . .

  59. Carlo Eussen Says:

    @Ame:Thnx voor 2Do plugib support. Let me know how I can help.

  60. Paul Corneillie Says:

    Be careful because Brussels is getting famous for gunfights, armed robberies, carjackings, streetcriminality

  61. Ssal Says:

    That’s great news thanks for your work ^^ I hope i can get it soon

  62. Thekorger Says:

    Idea for the next steps.
    You know that you can have different colors for different activities (work, private and so on in iPhone calendar) so it could be nice (this is something similar to what ivoyage posted probably) to have bullets list in calendar section according to that of iphone calendar.

    I’m not sure that I was sufficiently clear. :)

  63. Georgios Says:

    Dear Ame hi. I hope that you enjoy your holiday. However all bad things happen when exactly one is on holiday. (Murphy’s Law perhaps?).
    I have been using the latest version of the theme and everything was fine till yestereday I updated the lockinfo. Theme’s weather is no working any more I am afraid.
    Could you advise me what to do? I have also made a js in Greek Language if you are interested in.

    Keep me posted.
    Kind regards
    Georgios – Greece

  64. Dan Lindholm Says:

    Hum I did not get a mail?

  65. Adam Says:

    Hi ame235! When are you planing to relise version for all of us?

  66. ame235 Says:

    @Dan Lindholm:
    resent. just in case.

    @Gregorios:
    what version of theme? installed weathericon+ weathericonplugin?
    also, you sent me 5 mails about that greek version…why not sending it?

    @Thekorger:
    Yep good idea, it’s already done in v.2 that is coming. as for the respring problem..

    @Adam:
    No release date planned.
    looks like i work much faster by answering only to donators, that are interested in a result and don’t bother with basic questions..
    I mean normal basic questions in every release there are basics like: “how do i set up the weather” for the old config.js versions (now droppeddrastically ;) )
    so i’ll make it the more stable as possible before putting it on cydia.

  67. Georgios Says:

    Ame sorry, I have not realised that you needed the Greek version. I have sent only one mail. I will transmit later today when I get home. Yes the version I use is weathericon + weatherplugin. BR Georgios

  68. Georgios Says:

    Ame – how do I send the Greek Version? by mail? I need an email to send it!

  69. meilon Says:

    Hi again :D

    I would like to add a another change request regarding the German language file for 2.0: On the expandable calendar and weather info the day names are three characters long, but the german regular shorting would be two chars. Could you please add these, too?
    And there’s a bug on my calendar: The order of the date names above is absolutly wrong, It reads monday, thursday, sunday, wednesday, saturday, thuesday and friday. I didn’t check the de.js file for this, but please have a look at your 2.0 codebase. If you want I can send you an updated de.js file this evening.

    @StarSoft: I know where to change the date types but I would like to suggest it as the future theme default.

  70. ame235 Says:

    @Gregorios
    admin -@- ame235.com
    (remove the “-”) is ok.

    @ meilon
    modded the two chars instead of 3.
    for messed days, that problem has been solved since a while thnx to starsoft.
