With respect, I wholeheartedly disagree. It's very useful – and just as importantly, it's pretty. Text message alerts scroll off the screen in the same circumstances, remember.

If you're in the middle of entering the key lock numbers, I don't think it matters what is underneath. Because after the 4 digits are entered, the whole screen goes away anyway.

anyone else having trouble with the slide to unlock? sometimes the slider gets stuck kinda annoying maybe im the only one.

@Volatil-dev:

Two things I would love to be seen if possible :

- Break the timelimit of lockscreen as with previous version, or find a way to increase that timelimit beyond the 20 seconds available right now!

- Reduce the Lag time between pressing the Home or Power button and the appearance of Lock Calendar screen! Even if I reduce the max entries displayed to 10 events, and the max time interval to 1 day, there is still an annoying and frustrating lag time more important than with previous version!

I would like to stress out that nevertheless this app is the most important, fantastic, brilliant and amazing add-on for our iphones! And I am not coming strong when I describe it as a " can't live without it" app!!!!
Moreover, it fully discredits and makes a fool of all other similar apps type Kate, Intelliscreen, RemindYou etc.......And you have to pay for those heavy and "iphone-restore" apps.....Lol!

I think I've nailed down the two major issues: lag when undimming the screen, and the screen auto-dimming too quickly. Also, I've added some separators:



Instead of officially releasing these fixes, I was thinking about doing a quick beta test. If you're interested, I've placed the updated package at:

http://www.volatile-dev.com/LockCalendar/lockcalendar_0.2.1b.deb

To install it, you'll need to copy it to your device, SSH in, and run the following commands:

dpkg -i lockcalendar_0.2.1b.deb
killall SpringBoard

I'd appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Thanks!

Guys, I am not sure what you are talking about here. I just upgraded and like the upgrade, but where is this 'not display' thing?

I have not tested 0.2.1b yet. These are three suggestions for future developments:
1. Option of choosing to have or have not the separators
2. Option of choosing between the thin white line (as it is now in 0.2.1b) and the dark bar (as it was previously in 0.1)
3. Option of setting up the area of the lockscreen in which LockCalendar displays the items, so that it can co-exist with other lockscreen widgets, for instance a 7-day weather widget I used to use (and enjoyed, although I think the calendar is more important)

Thanks and great work!!!!!!

BTW, I do not experience any time lag with 0.2.1 but I confirm the auto-dimming issue.

Regarding the Lockscreen-Timeout I tested and found out, that both with or without LockCalendar being displayed:

• Normal timeout is 7 seconds after pressing the Home-Button, no matter how much you scroll or touch the screen.
• Extended timeout is 60 seconds after cancelling the passcode entry, no matter how much you scroll or touch the screen.

So in my testing it seems that the user-interaction is not influencing the timeout at all.
Update: I just saw your beta-release and will try it as soon as Cydia finished "repairing" ...

Update 2: Tests with 0.2.1b show the same result as above, I am sorry. Still only works on first lock after a respring.
I have no other Lockscreen-Mods installed, except QuickUnlock.

Now for some feature requests:
Additionally to the much appreciated "Current Event" switch I would wish for

• "Today's Events" – keeps all of today's events visible until midnight
• "Current Date" – always shows the "blue" date-row, even if no event is scheduled for today. (This might be solved together with inco9nito99's request in post #11 of the 0.1 thread by introducing a "Number of days shown anyway"-setting)
• Please use the newly introduced code to hide the calendar for a hide/show function. (Double-)Tapping on the Clock could toggle LockCalendar + a setting to select the initial state.

Thanks for this great utility!

I just installed 0.2.1b, and Good news:
No more lag time! Even with unlimited entries and one week intervall, Lockscreen appears almost instantaneously after pressing home or power button!!No more frustation and waiting !

Lines between days are better than nothing in between : I personnaly would have loved colored days in blue and darked like previous version!

It still does not break the time limit of 20 seconds in my case, even if you scroll for ever! I would love a separate solution to increase the lockscreen time to 1, 2 or 3 minutes!!!!

Kudo to Thomas : real and definitive improve for his fantastic app!!!
Thanks a lot again for his hardwork that deserves a maximum donations from all Lock Calendar lovers!!!!!

I wish there were an option to enable the 0.1 visual style. The dark bars looked good.

What do you mean by : "Extended timeout is 60 seconds after cancelling the passcode entry" ?

I set a passcode entry, and canceled it, and I do not have any 60 seconds Extended timeout!!!!!
I have only 20 seconds because I installed the 20 seconds lockscreen! I wish I could get at least those 60 seconds lockscreen!!!!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by "It still does not break the time limit of 20 seconds in my case, even if you scroll for ever!" The design is to dim the screen after x seconds once the table stop scrolling (x being 5 seconds for normal, or 20 seconds with the 20 second lock screen plugin). Is this what you're experiencing, or is it still dimming after 20 seconds from the time the screen becomes visible no matter if you scroll the table or not?

[docomar]

It is still dimming after 20 seconds from the time the screen becomes visible no matter if I scroll the table or not!!!

OOOPS!!! Sorry, I just resprang my iphone and repeated the scrolling, and NOW it never dims as long as you scroll!!!!!!
It looks like to do so I had to respring my iphone!!!!
Now, it is like previous version : never dims as long as one scrolls!!
But, you have to respring your iphone to get that!!!

When you have set a Passcode, and you unlock the lockscreen, you are taken to the passcode-entry. If you cancel that, you return to the lockscreen, but now the usual timeout of ~5-8 seconds is extended to a full minute, before the screen will darken again.

It seems to me, that the "20 seconds lockscreen" might not only override the normal timeout, but also the extended timeout, so they both will be 20 seconds.

[marcoiac]

just to clarify. I am running 0.2 (not the new .deb called 0.21b) and after respringing it never dims. Looks like the feature has been there all the time. People need only to respring.

Of course I resprang and even rebooted.
(By the way, I have no other Lockscreen-Mods installed, except QuickUnlock)

At first I thought it was resolved, but it worked only in the first lock after a respring: scrolling extends timeout (just touching doesn't), worked perfectly until I unlocked. On all subsequent locks it is just as described above. Reading marcoiac's post it seems that there is no difference to 0.2, that probably also works on the first lock after a respring. Maybe somebody can confirm my findings?

On a sidenote: the unlock-slider-button seems to be the only region on the lockscreen that being touched will definitely and under all circumstances extend the timeout.
Note the animated reflection on the unlock-slider-text: when touching the slider button it starts over; while scrolling LockCalendar it just freezes temporarily.
Maybe this could be a trail to finding a more robust way of resetting the timeout?
