This is a public beta of ShakeToUnlock which will work for everyone till a new official version is released. It “should” support iOS 4.0 also it should now be nicer to your battery

I’ve added a few new shaking-gestures: directional shakes. for example XY means first a short shake in X direction, then a short shake in Y direction. check it out in the Preferences.app under Activation Method.

you can download the beta from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2527185/STU-1.05beta.deb

bug reports go to yllierdev (at) gmail.com

ShakeToUnlock allows you to unlock your iDevice by shaking gestures, even if your device is sleeping. Or just undim it, which is great for LockInfo or Cydget users.

Many users have requested such an solution and unlike others ShakeToUnlock works even when the screen is off; unlock whenever you want. It’s utlizing technology some great technology. A toggle for SBSettings is included.
To reduce accidental unlocks ShakeToUnlock has settings to adjust the sensitivity and the time the device has to be still until you can attempt an unlock or even make it only use a 2-Shake-Gesture: 2 clearly sepperated Shakes which occur within in 3 secconds. As default ShakeToUnlock will override the Passcode, but you can change that too.

Make your device behave a lot cooler and show off it’s new features!

A lot of stuff has been changed, mostly not visible for you, but here are the most remarkable changes:

- port blocking. now you can extend rules to only block a specific port. simply by adding “:portnumber” to the hostname or by using the selector in the popup. if you tap on the (i)-button on the popup you’ll be shown a list of the most common ports. for more information take a look at this: http://bit.ly/9Dvtga. You might want to delete all rules (there is now a button in the About View) or manually edit the rules.d

- Allow/Deny all sess.: Allow/Deny all connections until you exit the app (or in case of Safari: Safari goes into backgrounding)

- now based on Regex. This should offer a faster and better experience

- import lists: yes, you can now import lists into global Allow and global Deny. For that simply put a txt file with hostnames/rules (each one gets it’s own line) into /Applications/FirewallGUI.app/Lists/ and then import it from the global Allow/Deny views . the file should look something like this:

*google.com

facebook.com:80

xyz.com

I moved some code into a LaunchDaemon so SpringBoard won’t get overloaded anymore. This should provide a fix for the few who got SpringBoard freezing from time to time.
NOTICE: ATM S2U EXPECTS YOUR DEVICE TO BE STILL FOR 5 SECONDS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT AN UNLOCK. I DID THIS TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL UNLOCKING. In the final release version will be settings to adjust that time.

As with all beta stuff, only advanced users should try it. Just in case something goes wrong.

This is a public beta which will be usable until February 2nd 12 pm GMT+2. . If everything works out this tool will probably end up on CydiaStore for less than $1. Why I’ll be selling it? cause this is a very advanced hack using some stuff nobody has ever used and it took me longer than expectet until everything was running fine.
