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.

VcardMailRetriever

VcardMailRetriever will read mails from selected accounts and try to extract some informations about the sender and allow you to add the sender to your contacts.

(thanks to MAPIlib that gives the possibility to read mails where it's not possible with .NET framework by default)
It uses regular expressions that you can edit by yourself to fit the best with the mails you're used to receive.

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.

PocketPaste

PocketPaste is a small and simple .NET Framework 1.1 application for pasting data from the clipboard of your desktop PC into folders on your device.

For example, you can copy a URL into your clipboard then paste it into a text file or link file on your PocketPC directly via the system tray icon. PocketPaste also supports the copying of files.

This application runs on your PC and does not require you to install any software on your PocketPC, since it uses ActiveSync to transfer data.

requirements
PocketPaste requires that you are running Windows 2000/XP/2003 with the .NET Framework 1.1 installed.
