Here is the Step By Step process on How to get iPhone Style lock screen for your Windows Mobile:

Step 1: Download S2U2 file – QVGA/WQVGA Version / VGA/WVGA Version

Step 2: Once downloaded extract the files and copy the CAB file on to your device in a folder.

Step 3: Now, open the File Explore application on your device and go to the folder where you have copied the CAB file.

Step 4: Run the CAB file.

Step 5: Once done installation, you will notice 3 shortcuts under \Program Files\S2U2

  • iLock.lnk – To Start/Stop ilock2.exe (On the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock2 & S2U2 with a closing message)
  • s2u2.lnk – Manually Start S2U2
  • s2u2 Settings.lnk – Change the details 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.

How to Configure S2U2:

  • Use the s2u2 Settings.exe to change the settings
  • Through the lang.ini, the default values of DateFormat, TimeFormat, AppointmentTimeFormat, ClockPath & some wordings can be customized. They are s_DefaultDateFormat, s_DefaultTimeFormat, s_DefaultAptDateFormat, s_DefaultAptTimeFormat & s_DefaultClockPath. For other wordings, please refer to the LangReadme.txt in the LanguagePack.
  • For advanced users, you can edit the registry (\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2) directly. Please remember to RESTART iLock2 after any registry settings changed, otherwise it won’t work. The default values are added on the first run of iLock2. Please refer to the “S2U2 Settings.xls” for the details (thanks rctneil for the idea).
