OK... here's what I got from the app so far...

The portrait mode of this lockscreen is by far more responsive vs. default lockscreen with CSSU forced rotation. I don't have the click on the power button too many times and this is definitely a plus point. In fact, I think the rotation itself is also better although it's still buggy. I have always felt that portrait mode via CSSU forced rotation for anything has always been a bit choppy in both the execution and animation so to me, this app does not feel all too bad in its rotation. One thing I love about this is that I have forced rotation off and it has its own portrait support available. HUGE plus point there.

I think since that the slider is sorta irrelevant (it's damn smooth) since you can basically unlock the screen by tapping the bottom right corner - which probably is what the slider prompts you to toggle when touching that part of the screen, then it's really sorta better to have a 'push' or 'tap' button which was on the original lockscreen in version0.1. I thought that was effective enough. A slider seems cooler though but if it is difficult to implement, I think I'm good with just a button.

I do feel that the lockscreen effects calling... so it'll be better if the lockscreen does not trigger on phone calls.... right? or maybe calling causes the lockscreen to trigger a slider like the symbianOS where you slide to answer from within the lockscreen itself? Honestly, the UI doesn't really matter for this one... to me, the more important thing is that whatever the UI of the lockscreen is, priorities should be given to accepting phone calls without any interruption from a blocking lockscreen.

this is the same for alarms. I couldn't snooze because when the alarm popped out, the lockscreen was still there... i had to unlock the screen to snooze or stop the alarm... which is a little bit of a hassle eh?

The media player button is sorta buggy also... I tried pressing play and it does take a while or a couple more presses before the playing starts... also, if I just click play without opening the media player, it's kinda buggy and also, playing is interrupted by the SMS notifications which normally is a small beep when media player is playing music. It's not a hugeee deal but I kinda liked how it just makes a short tone without any effect to the playing audio whatsoever...

all in all... to tell you the truth, this is one MAJOR boost to our experience in using the n900. I think this is important. The lockscreen isn't a big deal... but it's these small little tweaks and changes that makes a huge difference in our experience using this device.

CHEERS to MAG, Hurrian and all for their superb efforts!

is it in extra devel ?cant update devel repos, please help ,want to see this app asap ..any debian package ?

Nice one MAG.
I'm gonna have to concede defeat and say this beats my "Unzip to play" any day.

Use the package interface

@MAG
i want a small feature included in this.
i have go on bike everyday to class, college,etc. so i just want to tell u that when media player is playing songs , (the screen lock or unlocked ,) i want it to change songs with the help of volumne button by long press and short press for volumne (as it is). Can u please include it ?
Everytym it gets hectic to remove mobile open media player and select songs .

make it double tab like meego and change the background to something more generic and u will have huge experience

u can make it open conversations for sms chat and phone app for calls too.

are meego style multitask gestures be applied to maemo 5? is a huge project but could be interesting one.

mohamed probably too busy with CSSU, and open media player :/

first of all thanks for the v0.2 buddy .
after using it there are few things i have to say .
1- have found version 0.2 a bit delayed in responding .
like sometimes i dont even able to touch the slider same as f2's video .
2- there should an option to choose between unlocking options .
i know in future we will have more ways to unlock so it should be like select your own way to unlock the screen .
and this choosing option can be implimented to other options too like whether you want the notifications on lockscreen or you want your screen neat etc.
hope to have a blast in upcoming future

I like it a lot
If you need some help please let me know
Maybe a settings panel will be nice

I took the source code and I've added weather info:

great work.

i would like to suggest making the slider shorter; pretty long drag to unlock the phone.

edit: figured screen can be unlocked by touching the bottom right area in the slider toggle. good touch that.
