It has its issues, but not too bad. I am certainly looking forward to an update though.

My biggest issue is once in a while when I go to unlock my phone I have both SlideAway and the original Slide to Unlock both visible, but neither now works and I have to do a hard reset.

I also had the phone go crash into safe mode, but only couple times. And I think it was Slideaway causing it, but not 100% about it.

I've been having the slider and slideaway at the same time too. I also cannot use my phone following a sync without it going into safe mode. I'm going to collect some crash logs and send them over.

Also, I get random safe mode crashes on occasion for no real reason.

Anyone finding this app super buggy?

IOW, it's a standard app from this author. Released when it was a beta and the bugs will never be fixed. I'm sure he's off working on his next piece of crap app.

It worked fine on my i4 running .3. Didn't see a need for it and disabled it, but I had no problems with it, other than I think my Infinidock "upset" its ability to assign specific icons to its LS dock.

As to the dev's other apps, the only one I use all the time is Springtomize, and it works fine as well. No crashes, no SafeMode. Yes, as he's worked through the bugs, others have cropped up. But it's doing what I want/need it to do with no issues.

I've had more issues lately with LockInfo (took it off, my battery improved and no more occasional SafeModes), and with biteSMS and ToneFXs not playing well together.

Same here. It is great as a concept, basically a cleaner lock info... but I think I am going back to lock info. The author is going to have to add some more functionality nd allow it to be expanded to be a competitor to lockinfo, an I doubt he has any motivation with iOS5 right around the corner.

Disabled for now, as it just rebooted my phone to safe mode 3 times in 10 minutes...

Is their a way to adjust the height of the lock screen bar/icons?
I was hoping to lower the icon bar slightly on the lock screen, but can't seem to locate anywhere that this is adjustable. I would appreciate any help!
TIA!

Anyone else having issues with Lockinfo SMS notifications not working with the latest update to SlideAway? All other notifications work, just not SMS. Very annoying.

Sometimes the app refuses to let me change the 3-5 apps i have in my slide up bar. Anyone else have this problem? I tried un-installing it and reinstalling it again and again but to no avail.

That happened to me before too. The settings app would actually crash if I tried to change an app. I had to use iFile and delete the SlideAway preferences file. Then it let me set them all up again. No problems since.

Thanks for the tip, where is that located?

This is frustrating- it's as though this app does not know what it wants to be... Replacement for lockinfo or something new...

I would like to see an option to have the slide follow your finger's movement exactly, instead of delayed.

It also needs a proper mobile notifier integration where notifications show from the top down on the lock screen.

I'm getting the Slide To Unlock slider and the icons stuck inside it. Pretty bad.

Also, on respring, I lose the calendar plugin on lockinfo. As mentioned earlier, I cannot see ANY SMS notifications in the lockinfo plugin. lolwtf

I haven't had any bad crashes, though. So that's good....?

The novelty of this wore off for me after about 30 minutes. Uninstalled, but it's cool seeing what's possible. :D
