v1.5.0.3 RELEASED ! - [email protected]:15 - DISCONTINUED
RockClock is a simple FREE Alarm Clock for Windows Phone/Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Professional devices with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (and above).
Being my first ever .NET application, RockClock started life as a simple wakeup timer…which would simply turn on my Blackstone and run another program for me at 30 minute intervals. Then a friend found a freeware font whilst browsing the web and suggested I adapted my program to be a simple alarm clock and 'RockClock' was born.
Main Features:
- 4 Alarms, which will wake the device from a standby state
- Alarm Sound selection
- Adjustable Snooze timer
- Toggle UI elements
- Countdown Timer
- Stopwatch with laptimer
- Vibration option
- Clock colour selection
- Finger friendly UI
Please leave comments or bug reports as some feedback on my first ever program would be great.
POSTS SINCE UPDATE START HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5875656#post5875656
Things left to do:
- Sort the alarms on the Clock screen into time order
- Flight-Mode On/Off Option (...having issues with this!)
- Quicker settings interface
- Integration with the System alarm clock so Manila and other applications recognise when the next alarm is due (…maybe)
Tested on WVGA (Blackstone) and VGA and QVGA device emulators.
If you like RockClock please feel free to donate… and inspire me to create more apps...or simply upgrade my handset!
In the event XDA Dev's becomes unavailable a mirror of this program is available on my site, which can be accessed by scanning my avatar or clicking HERE.
.
The ZIP File contains both a Windows Mobile Installer file or you can optionally install the CABS from the CABS folder in the ZIP.
Thank you very much. I will give it a try
Installed but could not run. Didn't even get an icon in Start Menu.
Tried running the EXE directly from the installed folder and I got these errors.
Tried it on:
1. Dopod D810, wm6.0 stock WWE ROM
2. HTC Touch Pro2, wm6.1 stock WWE ROM
both with .Net Compact Framework 2 & 3.5 installed
Hmmm...thanks for trying it out...it seems that the program I have to package this up is a bit naff so here's the CAB for the .NET SQL component.
Hopefully that'll get it working until I sort out the packager.
Got it working on my TP2 after installing the second cab. But I don't see how this is much different than the manilla alarm clock.

For me it's nicer to look at at night when I'm charging my phone and don't have a clock in the room than looking at the manila screen which is REALLY bright when on charge.
Any chances to get this for QVGA?

Sorry didn't have the device emulator installed....I just installed it and tested it and it seems to be working okay with both CAB's installed.
I've also amended the first post to say it works.

Yes good point. Would like to see touch scrolling on the setting page and maybe a snooze button when the alarm goes off.
I agree that this will look better at night with the darker color scheme.
After installing the RockClock cab i get a message
Code:
proc ok
invalid handle
The shortcut to launch the app has no icon, and launching the clock gives
Code:
The file rockclock cannot be opened. Either it is not signed etc etc
I installed the clock on the storage card and first the second cab too, then i tried to install the second cab in device memory, but it is the same.
Edit: After installing both cabs into device memory the same error "invalid handle" comes up, the shortcut has still no icon, but the clock launches now.
While setting the clock up i saw there is no option to select the alarm sound to be used. Did i oversee it or is it not there? I set one alarm and pushed the power button to put the phone in sleep, without exiting the appl. At the time set the device did wake up and a bip bip sounded (i would prefere to be able to choose some other alarm or an mp3). To be able to access the settings again i need to exit the appl. and start it again, but this gives me the error:
Alarm schedule failed!
Please exit the application
and try again.
Acknowledging this error message starts the appl, and i can access the settings again.
Now if i set up an alarm and then exit the appl., it starts up at the set time, but then the above mentioned error pops up, and by the time i tap ok the application opens but no alarm sounds.
This are my findings up to now.

The sound settings have not yet been put in place as detailed in the first post. Not sure why the schedule is a problem, will look into that because it uses the standard CeRunappattime API call but I might know what the problem is.
I believe the rest of the issues are caused by the program that does the packaging for the cab installer..I'll have to find a new one.
I tested the program today on an P3300 and the shortcut icon did not appear but everything installed okay, the icon and program install fine on my blackstone though so I will try to find a new packaging app.
I'll put some changes in place and upload a new version when I can but as said earlier, I'm completly new to all this so it may take a while to perfect the code.

Ok...thanks for your replay, will test the new release as soon as available.
I think I've fixed it! I've also tweaked a few bits and added the ability to choose your alarm sound for now.
I'll make the alarms have independent sounds in future builds.
Testing it atm but will post it soon if it works as expected.

Figured I would make a thread for this to keep the S2U2 thread uncluttered
A_C's wonderful S2U2 introduced support for weather forecast display if you used some apps to get weather, or you could use "User" generated weather data in the registry.
I never have good luck with those weather apps, but I am handy with mortscript - the following script works with S2U2 *and* rlToday, giving you the current weather and the forecast for today or tomorrow.
REQUIRED:
SU2U 0.95 or later, installed, with UserWeather enabled in settings
MortScript 4.1 installed
CHANGES:
In V2.1 I've cleaned up the system paths so they are not hard coded
* this should work no matter where you have MortScript installed
In V2 I've updated the script as follows:
* if your cellular radio is OFF, the weather check is skipped - it will try again on the next scheduled time (ie, it works right when you are in flight mode)
* if there is any runtime error at all, the script quietly quits now, and tries again on the next scheduled time
TWEAKS:
Near the top of the script, you must edit the various settings (see below) to get your weather, and to have it update as often as you want.
You can also change some lower-level parts of the script - if you don't want it to switch to tomorrow's weather forcast after 4pm, remove these lines from the script:
Code:
# get tomorrow's weather if hour past 4pm (>15)
if (hour > 15)
notDone = -1
endif
If you want to change what is shown on the S2U2 screen, edit this line in the script:
Code:
weather="W|"&code&"|"&hitemp&"|"&lotemp
Change the W to an S to get the Spb weather icons
Change code to ccode to show the icon for the current weather, not the forecast for the day
Change lotemp to temp to display the forecast hi temp / current temp
INSTALLING AND RUNNING
Unzip the attached zip file
Copy notiweather.mscr to /Windows/Startup
If you have run a previous version of this script, you can copy clearweather.mscr anywhere onto your device, and run it once - it will ask if it can clear the notifications... tap Yes. Then you can delete the script
Run the notiweather.mscr script by navigating to it in a file browser on your device and double tappping it. It should silently run - if it works you should see some data activity. Run S2U2 and see if you've got some weather.
It is safe to run the script manually to update the weather - it will also update the next run time to be whatever you have it set for in the script.
WEATHER PANEL ICONS
S2U2 has an incomplete set of Weather Panel Icons.
Go to http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2441&pid=30068&mode=threaded&show=&st=&
Link for full stardock set of weather icons is at bottom:
http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1489
That set includes the missing 33.png, among many others - unzip those into your gfx\weather folder overwriting what's there, if you're using UserWeather and don't have a full weather icon set. Seems to make S2U2 much happier - still not sure if/when the weather display is updated, will try and nail down some examples for A_C to test.
TROUBLESHOOTING/INTERNATIONAL
One user reports that the code used to automatically connect to the internet fails on his device. Changing the Connect() call as follows fixed it:
Original line:
Connect("The Internet")
Change to:
Connect("Internet")
Try that if the script complains for the connect call.
Original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1756216&postcount=337
Attached is a mortscript that uses yahoo's weather rss feed to fetch the weather and put it in the right place,right format for S2U2 "userweather" - so you can have weather even if you don't have a weather app
Unzip notiweather.zip, and then edit notiweather.mscr in a text editor...
You NEED to edit the file before you put it on your pda - at the top are three settings:
Code:
# USER SETTINGS, CHANGE AS DESIRED
# how often to try and get the weather
delayHours = 2
# your location (see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
location="95129"
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="f"
Change those as desired, save, and copy the script to /Windows/Startup
You can launch the script manually or soft reset.
The script uses the notification manager to run every delayHours and fetch your weather.
It issues a Connect call to "The Internet" if no network connection is present.
It formats the weather correctly and puts in in two registry locations:
#for s2u2 UserWeather
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\A_C\S2U2\", "UserWeather", weather)
#for rltoday
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\emerym\", "Weather", rlweather)
If you are just using S2U2, all you need to do is edit your registry and add ShowWeather, DWORD 5.
If you also use rltoday, you can use that second registry value in your skin.xml to get a string with the current weather + today (or tomorrow if after 4pm's) weather and hi temp
Code:
<Registry x="119" y="52"key="key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\emerym\Weather" alignment="center">
</Registry>
If not, you can just ignore that, or even edit the script and cut out those parts...
It's all working very well. Thanks to A_C for this great app!
Lemme know if anyone runs into any issues.
Change log:
V 2.2: 15-01-2008 - use system paths from Mortscript to set up notifications
V 2.1: 13-01-2008 - skip check if cell radio off, handle errors cleanly
V 2: 22-12-2007 - first working version
V 1: unreleased test version
What version of Mortscript are you using? I'm using 4.1 and I got "DelayHours command unkown". 4.1 wants set DelayHours,2. So I assume we are using diffent versions.

I'm on 4.1 and it works for me. Is it because it should be delayHours = 2 ?

I put this mortscript on my device, and I do not get any errors, but nothing is displaying on my s2u2 lock screen. Do I need to wait for it to update?
I am using SU2U version 0.97 and MortScript 4.1. When I launch manually, I could get the weather infor. On the other hand, the auto update always complains of Mortscript not being able to be run. I had set the updating to 1 hour internal. Not sure if there is a limitation on how ofter Mortscript could be run or that 2 hours is the lowest interval that I can set.
It should "just work" with mortscript 4.1, however it depends on the installed mortscript being in a specific location.
For those who have problems, you might try editing the lines
# kill any lingering notification
RemoveNotifications("\Windows\MortScript.exe", "\Windows\Startup\notiweather.mscr" )
# set notify for myself at next time
RunAt( utime, "\Windows\MortScript.exe", "\Windows\Startup\notiweather.mscr" )
Near the top. They're going to need to have the correct path to the Mortscript executable - mine is in the \Windows folder, but it could be \Program files\Mortscript or even somewhere on your storage card.

You do need to run it once - assuming it runs correctly the first time (see the note above regarding the path to the executable) it should update the weather right away - you should see the data activity and then, within a minute, the weather should update if you've set S2U2 to use UserWeather.
I'm going to check tomorrow, I am pretty sure I can get rid of the path to the executable in the code - sloppy on my part, sorry! That's the hazard of releasing scripts you write for your own use
I am hoping this can get working...I miss having a temp on my phone. I used to be a big fan of weatherpanel, but it left a lot of undeletable junk on my phone.
I have MortScript 4.0, does that matter?
Also, mine was in an A2DP folder, I just copied it to the windows folder.
Just tried this, and still no luck.
I am running WM5 with a Treo700wx.
OK...
I installed MortScript 4.1 and got this working.
It gives me tongiht's forcast, but gives me a SUN with CLOUDS. It seems to be the wrong icon.
Also, any way to edit this to display the current temparture.

Sure... you've got the source, do whatever you want with it
You can put the current condition icon for display, instead of the forecast...
Note this line:
Code:
weather="W|"&code&"|"&hitemp&"|"&lotemp
code is the "forecast code" for today. If you put ccode in there instead, it will show you the current conditions icon instead. You could also put temp in place of lotemp if you wish to show the hitem/curtemp in S2U2
Oh wow...
This is beautiful!
I love the customization.
Wow...And this comes from an RSS feed right, so If I wanted more weather, I could get an RSS grabber, right??

This is just what I was looking for! If I try to run the program again, while it is already running, what happens? Does it create another instance of the program? Could I use this as a means of manually updating my weather?
Thanks!
Thanks for the script, it works great. Can you tell me how to change it so, it will not get tommorrows forcast but, always display the current/hi. I changed it to "temp" & "hitemp" and it works great but, at 4pm it shows tommorrows forcast.

Actually, the hitemp will change at 4. The temp will always be the current temp.

That's cool but, how do I change it so it will change the hitemp at say, 11pm instead of 4pm? Thanks for the help.

It's perfectly safe! Run it anytime to update the weather and reset the "next update" time for you.
It uses the notification manager to run itself in the future. If you look at the chunk of code at the top of the script where it says
# set up for next notification
you can see that the first thing it does when it runs is, it removes its own notification request (which does nothing if its not there, but keeps it from making multiple entries if it is there) and then sets up the next one... then it gets the current weather.
So you can run it whenever you want to refresh things.

11pm is 23 in 24 hour time, so if hour > 22, then you want tomorrow's time - change the 15 to a 22 in the if statement...
if (hour > 22)
and from 11pm you will have the next day forecast
Or you can just delete the whole block, because it will always show the current forecast without that block of code. So after midnight, the current forecast should be for that next day, right?

Yes, i had seen this behavior, it's something with first run on the device. Can you make a test, go to settings (last tool item on the main screen), make sure that DefaultQVGA skin is selected and save settings. Then restart program. If it helps?
Anyway, i must fix it

Yes, my mistake, QVGA skin have bad images (for VGA devices). New installation cab is already available.
Thanks. Installed on polaris (qvga) and it's working ok.
I've been looking for an app like this...great work! I'll check it out & report back...
Good job presenting these low level power settings and offering control in such a user friendly way!
Those monitoring features you are planning would be a very welcome addition. Perhaps in the future, users could share their best practices how to save battery. We could also export and share our battery saving settings file, for others to restore and check if it works for them.
oohhhh... this looks tasty.. I'll hafta download this and check it out. I have 6.5 so I'll test it and let you know how it works.
i have HTC HD Italian, is a multilingual program?
Very nice GUI - and I think its a needed app.
Why I only think it is, is because I dont really know how how to use it.
Should we just put all into poweroff to save battery or does any have some good hints in how to get most out of this app.
A bit more details for how to use it and what can be accomplished by BattGuard could be nice.
(I would like to save battery - so what might be the best settings for that. And will services still be able to start when poweroff and so on...)

Yes, but someone must do translation. In the root folder of application is file English.lng. This is a good template for any translations.

Not all I think, but maybe some devices are useless for someone. For example, i use camera very seldom, so for "On" state I can set "Main Camera" to Power Off. And then yes, in fact camera is disabled, but if it's improve battery life? I don't know, it's time for testing.

This is a tool, we need more knowledge (at least me ). There are programs for battery usage tracking so now we can tests power settings. I want to pack this functionality to Battery Guard and make it more usefull (register not only battery usage but also every things that could affect that).
And one info. Not every device support all power states. Often it's support only On/Off state. Current power states window shows info from system cache, so sometimes lie . Scenario:
1. Set Main camera "Power Off" for state "On"
2. Switch Off phone (mean suspend)
3. Switch On phone
4. Check current power states, you will see Main Camera is suspend
5 Soft reset and check power states again, you will see Main Camera is completly off
I just tried out your application and I am incredibly impressed. My face was like this: . It literally blew my mind. This literally is a complete switchboard for all of the devices in our Windows Mobile smartphones. I'll definitely have a few blog posts dedicated to this on my blog: http://soul-est.doc776.org/sotp/
very nice app, i try ed out of curiosity to see what it does,
also found some other thing, thanks to this app i tried apptodate from where the problem comes
i'm trying to update to version .0.1.1,i download the new version, install it an is still out of date, with option to update to .0.1.1

Yes, automatic uninstall cause invalid apptodate files replacement, i don't know why. Please manually unistall Battery Guard and then install it again. It's sure 0.0.1.1 version .
Anyway, is there a better free way to make installation cab, other than VS Project ?
Thx for the answer. Will try to see what happens in various scenarios..
great idea, been waiting that since a long time.
I guess one will be able to compare ROM consumptions using this soon, right ?
About version 0.0.1.2: Rather minor changes.
Now it's time for monitoring feature. In first attempt it will be part of main application. Later, after stabilization stage i'am going to move it to standalone service.
may i ask how do i use this application to save on battery juice?
I developed very simple application - stop-watch with sound. The application provides sound every second. The application is useful for creating nervous environment for some tasks with time limit
Tried on HTC Touch HD and HD2.
Attached Russian version as well (TickTimerRus).
I am going to test.
Thanks
Hi!
I like simple timer + stopwatch like this
But this type of app would be more useful if their running values are visible at the home-screen so I can easily check their values by just pressing home-key instead of taskmanager.
Another advantage of home-screen plug-in is that I will never forget them running in the background eating battery.
cheers!
New version
Ok, for you I made special one - but, since home plugins are rarely used with new devices, now the ticktimer status is displayed as taskbar icon. Works well on HTC HD2, not sure about other devices. Also changed the colors to dark.

Tkank you testing.
Hi everyone, this is my first experiment to cook a rom, I wanted to try WM6.5.5 with original theme and dialer and nothing removed.(except the trial copilot and sunnysoft localization)
OEM and EXT packages are from offical 1.28.479.4, SYS and XIP from 23563 build. (original 1.28.479.4 is here)
Suggested radio is 3.48.25.27
I had to remove localization software (sunnysoft) because of incompatibility with wm6.5.5.
Opera9 and Htc task manager updated to Opera10 and MMTaskmanager.
Normal font size, no any customization.
Dialer is fixed, there is no scrollbar in it. (download and extract the attachement, and drop it to windows folder with total commander)
FULL VERSION LINK
Note: I am NOT an expert, I only read very much. This is a good working experiment but I do not plan to update it in the future (I have no time for it and I do not have enough skill). Use it on you own risk! HARD-SPL is needed!
After flash, hard-reset is recommended!
Bonus: CLEAN version
Removed from Full version:
Livesearch
WM65 Lockscreen (I prefer S2U2)
Myphone
Marketplace
Windows Live Mobile
MSN Money
MSN Weather
Opera10
Manilla2d (Titanium is used)
Adobe Reader
Google Maps
EZInput (I prefer Fingerkeyboard)
Facebook
RSSHub
Youtube
Remote Desktop
CLEAN VERSION LINK
Dialer quickfix in first post!
Little help
Using MMTask manager first time:
- Open programs, and choose MMTaskmanager. Choose menu, Settings (wait a few seconds), and fill these: Load On Startup, Enable Taskbar Launch, Run In Background. Push Done, OK, and soft reset! Now you can tap the left top of the screen to rich MMTaskManager.
Using the finger volume control:
- Tap the right corner of the screen, and choose the windows icon. You will get the finger volume control. (with buttons, you will get the ugly two bar. This is by the build)
For performance and other tweaks use Schap's Advanced Config tool
Fingerkeyboard (the best keyboard I think)
S2U2 and S2P (the must have softwares)
ComManager with 3g button
Total Commander for Pocket PC
Newbie cookers must have read these
Nice rom, will give it a bash
Hi,
I've tested the ROM and I like it very much. I was waiting for this since December when I've bought the phone. In my opinion, best distribution of custom ROMs until now.
Only one bug I would like to see fixed if you have the time to cook the ROM again. When in a call, a scroll bar appears. I think is because the taskbar is wider than the one in WM 6.5.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Best Regards and hope you will get the time to cook it again.
working great on T3320 even though it shows T3333
Thank's!!!!This is what i was looking....
Also discovered that the missed calls screen is not properly aligned (my guess is that is positioning according to the dimensions of top bar and task bar from WM6.5)

Yes it is ok. You open the sms section. You write only one letter. When you close, you will be asked to save to draft.
If you choose yes, page closes, sms goes to draft.
If choose no, page closes, sms does not go to draft.
If choose cancel, nothing happens.

Wallpaper Changer - WaPaC 1.4
Created by Rapid
Now OpenSource (see the bottom of this post)
Because I don't have time to develop this application further and the current state of the program is fine for my use, I share the WaPaC's source by the community now.
A few terms, what you need to consider, before you use the source and consider to develop it in the future:
The WaPaC name needs to stay as it is, or if not and you use the source code, you need to mention it!
You need to mention my name, as the original developer of this program and where are the sources came from
You need to mention mohitsapru's name, as the developer of the scheduler component
I need a PM (or email) about the releases where you used the source or the release of a new WaPaC version
The future versions needs to be Windows Mobile version and Resolution free a.k.a. needs to work on every WinMo versions (5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.X) and all resolutions!
I created a wallpaper changer application (WaPaC), to the scheduled wallpaper changing on WM's Today and on Sense. Tested on Samsung Omnia 2 with Sense 2.5 and everything is working fine.
The program is not a beta anymore, but still under development and may contains some bugs.
Changes in 1.4
No maximum files number anymore (maximum folders number is still 100)
A "Change NOW interface" added to select the needed UI to the change
Now the settings app shows the next time of the schedule
Random and continuously change setting added (you'll see randomizing popup window sometimes)
Intervals minimum set low to 1 minute with 1 minute steps
Besides the interval, now you can change the wallpapers at a specific time, like 8:00AM every day
The "back to the previous wallpaper" function is added and accessible with the "-prev" parameter and will change all choosen UI's wallpapers back to the previous one (not 100% if you use more than 1 directory for wallpapers storing).
The installer creates a "Change Now" and "Previous wallpaper" shortcut
Because I cannot create a setup.dll, the additional shortcuts is downloadable from the bottom of this post, but you need to edit the files, if you're not install the app to the device.
Several minor and major bugfixes
Changes in 1.3
The program is now compatible with CHT 1.8.X. You can change the wallpaper of the Home tab, All tab and CHT Lockscreen.
When you plug your phone to USB with Mass Storage settings, and the needed folder is not available to the WaPaC (or you deleted a selected folder), the app not crash.
Context menu added to the Selected Folders list to remove folders (if the folder is not available anymore, etc.)
The application is pops up a warning in the case you not select any UI, when you want to save the settings (not when you uncheck all).
Changes in 1.21
The folder changing bug fixed (when you tap on a folder and jumped to an other in the selected one)
Changes in 1.2
Redesigned interface
Separated setting for "Change on Windows start" (If you have an earlier version installed, then you need to uncheck and save, then recheck and save the "Start with Windows" option, because the shortcut contents is changed)
You can choose Minutes or Hours format at Interval settings
Interval changed to 5-1440 minutes or 1 to 24 hours
"Change NOW" button added
"Change only in idle state" option added (This means, if you're using the phone (the backlight is on) in the time when the scheduled change comes, the changing is delayed)
Maximum selectable folder number is 100
Changes in 1.1ß
- Folderselection is now free
- Maximum picture number changed to 10000/folder
- No need to refresh the list when you put new pictures in a selected folder
- Selected folders list stored and displayed after start and easy to modify.
- You can add a folder to the selected folders list by checking the checkbox near the folder's name. You can remove by the same method.
The program's not listing the directories with the following names:
- Windows
- Program Files
- Application data
- ConnMgr
- Documents and Settings
- Temp
Changes in 1.03ß (1.02 skipped, because some real trouble):
- S2U2 background change added (not tested)
- Settings saving corrected (HKCU\Software\WaPaC\)
- Interval steps changed to 5 mins
- Settings application supports all resolutions (tested on VGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WVGA, Square)
Changes in 1.01ß
- Start with Windows option problem fixed
- Clear Sense Background option added
Features:
- maximum 10000 pictures from multiple folders
- changeable interval from 10 to 720 minutes (12 hours)
- chooseable user interface to change background (Today and Sense)
- same wallpaper for the 2 UI or not
- start with Windows possibility
- not use memory at all, the changing starts with schedule and then quit
- separate settings application (only WVGA resolution supported yet)
- you can start/stop the scheduling in the settings app
Special thanx:
mohitsapru for his help
It is possible the program is working on other Sense, Manila or TouchFlo versions than Sense 2.5, if the wallpaper stored in the same place.
If you want to test it, download the cab and please give me some feedback and ideas, if you have any, to improve the app.

Thanks, gonna try on VGA - WM 6.5.5 - Sense 2.5.2012 and report back!
ps. why don't you attach the program here, too?
Hi Rapid81
This looks a great little app.
I have just tested it and unfortunately I get an "IndexOutOfRangeException" error when I hit the Load folder's list button. It starts to look at my whole sd card and then bombs out with that error.
Maybe adding the option to choose the folder without indexing the whole card is the way to go.
I am running this on a Touch HD with Energy 16 May 23569 CHT ROM.
Hope this helps.
Look forward to testing the next release.

I need to look through the whole system, because no SelectFolderDialog in NETCF. Maybe more than 100 folders contains pictures. I rised this number to 1000 in 1.03.

Wow! Couldn't even install it yet and you release an update!
Going with 1.03 then.
I've been waiting and hoping for a new wallpaper changer since antworks doesn't seem to change the today screen without locking up after a while. Glad to see yours has S2U2 changing and Sense as well.
I'm also getting the same error when it tries to load all the folders, and would agree that rather than try to index all the wallpaper, just allow the user to choose the folder. I have a 16Gig sd card, so it takes a lonnnng time to try to index that if I ever want to make a change.
Keep up the good work!
The biggest suggestion I have is a problem I have with other wallpaper changers. If the phone has been in standby when the wallpaper changed, when you power it on it takes 5-10 seconds to come on because it is loading the wallpaper. If there was some way to refresh the wallpaper beforehand so it would just power on instantly, that would be awesome.
S2U2's own wallpaper changing appears to not change while the phone is in standby. That's pretty cool too because it saves battery, plus fewer things running that might cause an error, say in the middle of the night, which = no alarm in the morning.
I tried to write my own wallpaper changing script with mortscript, but was never able to get it to be stable, so I appreciate what you're doing very much.

My problem is, there is no SelectFolderDialog in NETCF. That's why the application runs through the storage. If I'm creating a SelectFolderDialog instead of this method, you'll select only one folder and no subfolders o more separated folder. I'll try to came up with a workable idea, but I'm not making any promises.
This app change the wallpaper when the phone is in sleep mode. The phone does not came alive, just change the wallpaper in the backgound. You can't see anything about it, just the new wallpapers when you unclock your phone.
I guess I solved this "I want to select the directories on my own" and "why the apps runs through the whole system" problems.
Now you have a "file explorer"-like thing and a second list where is the app stores the selected directories. The directories stays checked and reloaded on settings app restarts.
Still testing, but if I'll not found problems, I'll upload it soon.
The solution is not 100% finger-friendly...
Something like this:

Been testing it this afternoon. The folder selection is very helpful, I can get it to run now.
It appears to change the wallpaper in all 3 places (S2U2, today, sense) just fine. I've noticed though that the spinning "busy" icon starts up and keeps going and going until I do something like click a tab. Then it pauses for a bit and makes the switch. When the phone has been in standby and I power it on, S2U2 will have the "busy" icon on its screen and will wait until I unlock into Sense to make the change.
I did have a couple instances of it freezing up, I thought this might be due to trying to change the Today background, since Antworks autowallpaperchanger would do something similar. It wouldn't freeze all the time, just some of the time, and I would have to not change the today wallpaper to fix that.
so far this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you very much for this!
Not even sure what started this problem, I did so many different things to get wallpapers I confused myself, now I dont know wich is causing problem. Can you help?

If you checked the "Start with Windows", then you have a WaPaC.lnk in the \Windows\StartUp. That's all. And I recommend you to stop the scheduling before you remove the app.
Been testing without S2U2 just to have fewer things running.
When the phone is awake, if the scheduled change begins to run it won't finish until you force a screen refresh by hitting the windows button or something like that. It just sits and thinks forever with the spinning icon on the screen.
Are there any executable modifiers such as "-now" to open the program and force a screen change immediately? It would be great to be able to make a shortcut to switch the screen on command.

wow. welcome to computers 101. sorry for all the hub-bub. I will take it slower so I can better tell my 'issues'.
Will also keep checking back on this app-sounds great, Im just not the right person to be dealing with beta and giving anyone feedback yet.
Thanks for the link info.
Okay, so it doesn't seem to like switching the today wallpaper, which antworks didn't either. It tends to lock up from time to time if I ask it to change the today screen. Any idea why this is? Like I said, antworks changer behaves the same way. I can't figure it out.
I'm running WM 6.5 stock Sprint rom with Goodthings2life's tweaks. Sense 2.5. Touch Pro 2.

What UI do you use? When I alphatested the app, and I not used any UI, the background not refreshed, just after a program open and close. I cannot figured out a way to refresh the empty today right now, but I'm looking for it. But when I used Sense or Windows Default, the Today, Start Menu and Lockscreen changed properly.

Just using Sense UI 2.5. It is weird because it doesn't lock up the phone every single time, just some of the time. I don't have the weather animations going, don't have animated wallpaper. No start menu/lock screen modifications, all stock.
I'm not using S2U2 right now as I test this, but it would change just fine, Sense would change just fine, it is only the today/lockscreen that causes a problem. It seems to be something about the refresh, because the phone would lock up before the screen changed, but after rebooting the wallpaper would have changed. So, I know it isn't the copying of the files, that is being completed.
EDIT> Think I just figured out the problem, after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600892&page=4
It most likely is a file extension issue, which is why it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. It works until the random function hits a file that is the wrong extension and locks up. Although, that doesn't explain why the images are there once I reboot. Anyway, I'll test by splitting the file types.
EDIT 2> Well, hosed there. All my files are jpegs.
