Slide2Shutdown


Shutdown application

All resolutions should work fine (make sure you download QVGA for QVGA or WQVGA devices)

There are four CABs available to install. They require version 3.5 of the .NET Compact Framework, the program won't run without it.
Slide2ShutdownSetup.CAB just installs the application without mapping it to the power key. QVGA/WQVGA version.
Slide2ShutdownPowerKeySetup.CAB installs the application, and maps it to the power key so that it will automatically launch when you hold down the power key. QVGA/WQVGA version.

There's no elaborate skinning method built-in, but the graphics are all stored in the \gfx\ folder and you can change them at will. Just replace the BMP files with your own files of the same dimensions.

Changelog v1.0, 30/08/2009:
Initial release
BUG: Shutdown slider doesn't currently work well on many HTC phones (it only suspends), I'm looking into a fix.

PowerOptions


Shutdown/Softreset/Standby/Dim Light

The functions:

SoftReset will soft reset (warm boot) the device using a safe method advised by msdn (microsoft developer network). There are quite a few ways to soft reset a device actually and some of them are said to be unsafe (like KernelIO method). This function will work on all Windows devices since PPC 2003 incl. WM5 and WM6


Shutdown will shut down the device using the same (HTC) method as if you'd press and hold the power on/off button for longer. On Topaz (and most likely Rhodium and other WVGA devices) the "Yes/No" dialog will be skipped and the device is shut down immediately. This function will work on all HTC devices since PPC 2003 incl. WM5 and WM6. It will not work on non-HTC devices (will do no harm either however).


Standby will suspend the device using the same method as if you'd press and hold the power on/off button shortly. PowerOptions will exit afterwards. This function will work on all Windows devices since PPC 2003 incl. WM5 and WM6


Dim Light will turn off the backlight. PowerOptions will minimize but stay on the task list for you to switch back to full light more easily. This function will work on all HTC devices since PPC 2003 incl. WM5 and WM6- Other devices are unsure. It may or may not work (will do no harm either however).



Standalone versions (These are not required for PowerOptions to work, but intended for people that want 1-click access to soft reset or shut down their devices)


MySoftReset - Download and install MySoftReset.CAB or MySoftReset_No_Warnung.CAB. The "No Warning" version will not ask a safety Yes/No question if you want to reboot or not.

MyShutdown - Download and install MyShutdown.CAB or MyShutdown_No_Warning.CAB. The "No Warning" version will not ask a safety Yes/No question if you want to shut down the device or not. The "No Warning" version will only work on Topaz and most likely Rhodium and other WVGA devices by HTC.


I would advise everyone to rather install the regular versions (MySoftReset.CAB and MyShutdown.CAB) instead of the "No Warning" ones, in case of accidental misclicks.

Please mention which device and ROM version you are using, when giving feedback. Thank you.

A Skinnable Shutdown App

A fully skinnable (see post #2) shutdown application that asofiker asked me to come up with a long time ago and I've finally got it finished. It's written in Native Win32 C++, so the load speed is PDQ.

Features:
Shutdown actually works.*
Fully skinnable, will work in any resolution.
Full screen mode.
Sleep / Light's out modes
Command Line (see "Usage").
*Should work on HTC devices since the Kaiser, I'm open to try and add support to non HTC devices. PM me if you can help.

Usage (Command line):
You can call xdaShutdown command line as follows:
Code:
xdaShutdown /restart [/warn] - Soft resets the device.
xdaShutdown /shutdown [/warn] - Power off the device.
xdaShutdown /sleep - Put the device in Sleep mode.
xdaShutdown /lightsout - Turn off the screen.

/warn - issues a warning before performing the action.

Powerdown v2.0


Shut down your Pocket PC from start menu XP style.

Power, Standby, or ReBoot allow you to do the equivalent of a soft reboot, place your device on standby (saving battery while maintaining current status), and power off battery consuming hardware and resume on power on. Also check to see how long your battery has left in hours and minutes based on current power consumption, for example one can see how much time left with screen on full brightness, medium, wireless on or off etc ....
