Can someone make a "knock off" of psShutXP - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I don't know about other people, but it still bugs me that psShutXP's "turn off" button doesn't actually turn the phone completely off, but just merely turns screen off.
I then came across another thread where _DrG_ figured out the command line to actually turn your phone completely off
(31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
I had asked DrG if it would be possible to somehow plug this into psShutXP so that the app would actually be capable of doing a complete shutdown of ur phone. He said yes as long as I could get the source code. Well I tried numerous times to contact the makers of psShutXP and ask them for the source code but no luck. I imagine the only way now to achieve this would be to just make a new app from scratch.
I know some people are saying why not just make a .lnk file for the shutdown command and then use that whenever you want to shutdown. Its just that I would like to have everything in 1 nice little working app.
So basically I am starting this thread in an attempt to see if anyone would be willing to use the command line that _DrG_ provided to make a "knock off" of psShutXP that can actually shut your phone completely OFF.
So if anyone would be able to do this that would be awesome! I would be very appreciative and I'm sure a lot of other people would be too.
Thanks

I can put it on my todo list. Might take a week or two...
How much like the original do you want it?
Just the Dialog for shutdown? Or all the other stuff as well?

First of all, Thanks for responding!
But yeah, take as long as you need, no rush at all. I mean u don't even have to be doing this so I am grateful!
And yes I would like it to have pretty much everything like psShutXP.
Sleep-like if you were to just push the power button
Turn Off-turn phone completely off like if you held down power button for 5 seconds, which is what this command does (31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
Reset-soft reset phone
Timer-for if u want to schedule a soft reset or turn phone completely off. I dont know if its too demanding, but would it be possible to make the timer so that
1.you can either set it for a countdown of X number of seconds that the user defines
2.have the option to enter a time of day that it will execute the restart/shutdown, which you can choose to happen to be a one time thing or a recurring. And if you choose recurring you will be given the option of making it Daily/Weekly/Monthly
If the whole timer thing is too much I totally understand, beggars cant be choosers, right. So i would be more than happy with just the Sleep/Shutdown/Restart buttons.
Thanks again for attempting to do this. I hope you are able to get it done.
Many thanks!

Kewl.
A Timer maybe for V2 then.
There will have to be some differences, because psShutXP is copyrighted work. I'll try and make a "lightweight Open Source (read only to start) alternative that has support for powering off the Kaiser".

I was just messin around real quick and came up with this layout. Dont have to use it if u dont want. Just an idea.

Nice. I saw the pic. Try to make it a little less transparent. But, it still looks pro. Like it's part of the PPc. Great work. Keep it up.

I like that.

I found out why psShutXP doesn't work. MS removed the option to Power off a Device from the API. The phone manufacturer has to implement a method for this. I am working on hacking apart the PowerOffWarning.exe for my use...
@aso,
Have you got the original graphics that you posted, so I can take out the Images.
I have a simple 3 button app working, now it needs skinning...

Hey Dave! Here is the artwork! I changed it up a little bit to make it look a little more classy. Its in the form of a Photoshop CS3 file, I hope that is alright.
My idea was to not have the whole silver button be what you would tap, but rather just the actual button on the side. Look at pic 1 for reference.

Heres the original artwork in case my new design just totally screwed up what you have made so far.
In case anyone else is curious about what this app might look like. Here are some screenshots.

Thanks. My art and design skills are lacking so this is appreciated.
I'm at home today so I will see if I can get on my PC later and knock up a quick demo.
Dave

Geez your fast! hahaha.
Sounds good!

This app looks like it'll be very usefull. please dave keep us updated on your progress

Hi,
Here's my alpha release.
I'll make a new thread and do a beta next release.
Still todo for next release:
*App Icon
*Hotspots (I still need to get my head around the code behind this).
*Fix up Graphics, a few Images move when pressed.
*Fix app loadtime (if possible).
EDIT:
*Alpha Blending and a background

Aesome man! It works good! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I really appreciate it. I'm sure others are going to enjoy it too.
This app can only get better, that is if you decide to make changes, even though I am completely happy with it as is. Although the timer function would be a cool addition to see in the future
Finally a program that will shut your phone "COMPLETELY" off!
Goodbye psShutXP......HELLO XDA SHUTDOWN!

Installed and assigned to one button, seems to work quite well
Sometimes the most simple things are the most usefull
Thanks for you Application, quite nice

Thanks for the support guys.
@asofiker,
any chance you could make a pressed X button for me? I like the idea of it animating as it is pressed.
Ta
Dave

Hi guys,
I'm actually over at the Elf forum, but I acquired a psShutXP from someone which has the Full Shutdown capability. The only problem is that the Hard Reset and Timer menus are all in Chinese ;-)
Anyways, I'm attaching it for your curiosity.
But I think Dave's app is much sharper and also in English, so it's better LOL
Good work!
EDIT: Regarding your program:
- The "sleep" function sometimes doesn't work if launched from Manila2D's Program tab. It just closes the app but does not put the device into Sleep.
- Also, the sleep function turns off the music in Audio Manager, unlike psShutXP. Probably should look at how they do it in psShutXP.
- Program also takes a few seconds to start up, maybe the graphics need to be scaled down a bit?
Otherwise, good job!

In case you're interested, here's your file along with an XP-style shutdown icon on it (there was no icon in the Alpha).

New Dialpad Skins... [UPDATED 6/20/2008]

I downloaded and installed the HTC Touch dialpad, and it worked well but was pretty plain.
I've spent a few hours reworking the graphics it uses and came up with a new skin based on a wallpaper I downloaded from www.pocketpcscreens.com. I've got portrait working well, but haven't done landscape yet...
Here are a couple screenshots. If anyone would like to use it, let me know and I can post links here.
And SmartDial still works!!

}
To install it, you'll need to install the HTC Touch dialpad (Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.zip), then download the background zip of your choice. Copy all of the image files from the zip into your device's Windows dir, and overwrite any files it prompts about. Soft reset your phone (or stop cprog.exe then reopen the phone) and enjoy!
This has been tested on my T-Mobile Wing w/ WM6. I haven't tested it on any prior versions of WM or other devices, so maybe someone can chime in whether it's OK or not.
If anyone wants the raw png's to make your own, let me know and I can attach them too...
I also attached a corresponding 'Rocks' WM theme and images for ContactsManager and Slide2Unlock for a nice uniform look.
I'm not too sure about the technical aspects of the dialer... You may want to check the thread where the dialpad was released. This is just a graphical update I did for it...
Enjoy,
Ryan
Update - here are a few other's I've come up with recently:
Jigsaw

nice post............
nice post ! i have a little problem though....
when i call using the htc-retouched theme, in the call-in-progress screen i get green text instead of white (the call history, mute etc); and it's hard to read...
do you know a solution?

No screenshot for Slide2Unlock because, well, the device is locked. It's the same wallpaper but not as dark, so it looks nice and vibrant.

Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately, at my current "skill" level, no. (notice the 'airquotes' around skill.)
I'm not really up on actual programming, this is simply a graphic overhaul of an existing skin.
If anyone out there can help me modify the actual layout, please feel free to chime in!!
Sorry!
Plus, for reference, the original:

<retracted>
@Dax:
I got the email notification of your post, then checked the thread and saw your reason for retracting it.
Just for curiosity, is there something I can spell out better in the (admittedly vague) instructions? I know they probably skip a lot of 'read between the lines' steps, so if there's something that'll make it clearer please let me know!
Is it working OK for you? I don't think I've gotten any feedback yet that anyone else has it working, and I'm curious to know if it does.
Your post did help, because I noticed that the landscape theme background doesn't quite match the landscape dialer background. I've worked hard to keep them all uniform and avoid the wallpaper jumping up and down when you switch screens...
Ryan
That's it. I must be officially dumb; I cannot find any information anywhere about how to apply a separate skin to the Touch dialer.
I was already using the PhoneBoost Lite with the Eten skin. Is this the same thing as the reTouched dialer you linked? (Again, I can't find any information linking the two)
Thanks,
Dax.
Nah, don't feel dumb. No problem at all. They're not related - I got the Touch dialpad from here. I got it simply to get rid of the horrendous T-Mobile dialpad. After I installed it, I wasn't overly impressed by the looks of this one either, and realized that all of the graphic elements were simply .png's in the Windows directory. I used the old dialpad as a reference for size and layout and created a whole new set of graphics to use instead of the default Touch ones. There's no coding or software manipulation at all on my end, it's all strictly graphical.
Hope it helps,
Ryan
hey, just a quick question, what kinda smart dial is there in the touch dialer...is it the one from microsoft that is inbuilt in wm6 or is it the one from HTC...I personally liked the htc one better as it it showed me the number of the contact without having to press a key on the contact...
Thanks NeonStorm,
It's well past midnight here, but I was sure I was losing my mind anyway
thx
@dax: Good night.
@shantz: It's this one ( I think it's the HTC one...):
Ryan
great work! looks really nice!
neonstorm,
Thanks a lot for such a nice dialer! I'm really digging it .
Now, even though I like the grey theme, I'd like to use it with a different background, but no matter which one I pick, the dialer always shows the "Rocks" one on it. Is there a way to keep and use your dialer and its nice transparency with any other background pic?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

If you post a portrait and landscape wallpaper (240x320 and 320x240) I should be able to do it. I've designed the graphics to make it pretty easy to replace the wallpaper and keep the transparency...
Or are you referring to the default Touch background I showed?

I would like to use it with more than one background, so what I'm looking for is something like a nice "standard" (plain-ish, but nice) background for the dialer, say, in a dark color or something, still keeping the nice transparencies.
Maybe I'm being too picky... but since you have the "skill" (and yes, you do!), I'm sure you can come with a couple of ideas .
The files are on my laptop at work, so I can crank something out tomorrow. in the meantime take a look at pocketpcscreens.com and see if there are any wallpapers you want. Otherwise I'll just use a neutral one...

Dialer with bigger buttons

I recently started using Kaiser as my primary phone and as I tend to make a lot of calls a day, most of them from car, I ran into problem that the dialers buttons are just too small to be pressed accurately when I can't look at the display properly and/or use stylus (e.g. when driving in car).
Any tips for dialer with bigger buttons (ideally almsot fullscreen) ? I have already tried quite few skins and SPB Contacts and nothing quite met my expectations so far.
Thx

I've used the following 2 dialers and found them to be much friendlier to large fingers than the standard dialer... Credit goes to the original developers, I got these somewhere on XDA... Don't remember now.

Thx. I know the first one, the second one looks nice (although it doesn't solve my problem). So far it looks like to me that nobody has made bigger dialer
Anybody know if it is even possible to have bigger buttons just with dialer skins? If so then I would probably go and create mine At first I considered writing my own dialer but I don't have time atm... But creating theme should be easy.

Yeah, the second one looks really nice with the WM6 black theme, but the one thing that bothers me about it is that you can't redial the last call by hitting talk on the screen, or hitting send on the phone. You have to click recent calls then click on the call and send.

yeah, not what I was expecting. I was looking for the actual dialer that the iphone uses.
Would also like to get a better dialer.
I would love to get a dialer where the buttons take up the whole screen ... if something should be small it is the number being dialed.
That iPhone dialer looks just as bad as the other skins currently available.
I had been using the JPLDialer VistaII and it worked nice except it doesn't allow last number redial. It looks very similar to the iphone dialer. It was much easier to dial with than with what I am using on Dutty's new rom. I would like a dialer that is full featured, stable and had big manly numbers. I am at work and can't get screen shot. Here is a link I found:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12092377/JPLDialer_VistaII.zip.html
If it has a grass theme it is the one I was using.

I recently installed a dialer by Nadavi and dutty it had send/talk soft keys the buttons are spaced well but for some reason it dont work properly since the hard reset.
The button stay the same, like the black default one and the send/talk button dont appear.......
Not sure what went wrong....
I use a different iPhone dialer, written by Nargalzius. I uploaded it to my Box.net public share. Just click the Kaiser link in my signature, its named iPhone Dialer.
-Also-
If you want to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen, I recommend setting the registry key (HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\Pressure Threshold) to 5000. It may seem a little high, but the response time is practically instant, and very little pressure required (still enough to avoid accidental presses).
With this dialer, and the sensitivity turned up, I have yet to fat finger/miss a number yet.

Thanks dude, fix the issue, installed Advance Configuration v1.1 and disabled the video dial option and the Nadavi dialer returned.
So, I guess the Nadavi's dialer does not support video dial etc...so it defaults to HTC dialer.
But I'll try the touch pressure setting out as well.
Thanks

I just downloaded and installed and the dialer works great!!
I'll second the desire to have a dialer that takes up the whole screen with just the numbers

Release of SMSCatcher, with source code. No skins attached...

Thanks to a few people in my FSD Call Capturer thread, I've started thinking about a possible SMS interceptor with a more finger freindly design. I've already got the hard part coded (as in, I can capture the SMS messages) but I have no graphics talent of my own, and I'm not that inventive, so, who wants to give me some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Source code is in post 41 and post 42.
Id like to see a Full screen contact photo with incoming SMS. Thanks!
Hi L3v5y,
1) if it's posisble disable the system notification.
2) Make an apps who show the sms and 2 or 3 button (Reply, Delete, Close).
I think it's a good idea but you are the dev..
ok here is what i would try to do if i knew how 2
1.Have a pic of the contact shown on the left side of the screen next to the number it came from
2. a scrollable box to show the message received
3. a empty text box at the bottom for quickreply
4. button for dismiss/delete(When clicked would ask if you wish to delete)
5.Button from full reply(in case you want to add pics or clipart)
have it time out after 10 or so sec of screen not being touched
see drawing for a very ruff image of what i'm picturing(keep in mind i'm no graphic artist and did this in about 2min at work using MS paint)
Something like this...?

Made it with 3 button...
Grodimn :
No text box.... for send mesend message... because where is your keyboard....?????
I Think only for read message and if you click to reply your "normal sms writer are open "
Sorry for my english....
Maybe a combination of Osevens and Grondinms ideas? As in you tap a button to go to the reply screen.
Unfortunately, transperency is difficult to achieve without serious processor usage (that, and I don't know how!)
So, I could do something like that, but it draws a backgound image (customisable, of course) and then has the message icon infront with text. Then, have two or three buttons (reply, delete, mark as read etc) and an auto close function. If the reply is pressed, a screen like Grondinms pops up (although bare in mind there would have to be space for the SIP)
You can disable the SMS notifications under Start->settings->Sounds and Notifiactions, but I could maybe do a config app for that...

Neither. I tried it yesterday and although it's a great app it's just too slow, which is why I suggested what I did as it takes one of the things from it that I liked but won't slow the system as much.

Congrats! This is an outstanding addition to our Fuze. I just have one question before I install. Are the graphics still in development or is the screen shot somehow distorted by the software you used to make the screen shots?? I don't want to complain, you guys have worked hard on this, but on the screen shot it looks like the graphics on the black version need some twicking. I'm kinda OCD when it comes to this stuff. Again, thanx for sharing.

it looks cleaner on device. i used mymobiler to make the pics and they look crazy when they turn out to look at.
i promise it looks a lot better on device than these pics
i finally got this damn pocket shield to work and now i see this...
i guess i could use this in conjunction with that...
the layout of the slide to unlock your showing here looks a lot more user friendly for sure.
bout to try this out now... lookin good tho.
I joined this thread too.
Anyway, I see you also post a black version (which also for some reason is much bigger?)... does it include the "curtain" also?
Did you remove the files that mess the battery gauge?
a question before i install...
does this S2A you developed here disable the send/end buttons from answering/ignoring calls?
i assume it would. :\
this is not his development (AFAIK) - this is the code from Touch HD
it shouldn't disable any physical buttons
*** BTW HERG JUST DISCOVERED SOME THINGS ***
1) In both packages there are some PNG files that are named BMP. So... shouldn't they be turned to normal BMP?
2) In the "black" cab package you have some files MORE than once! (and I mean the same file for the same location!) It's a bit messed up eh?
3) Please don't ignore the questions in my previous post above.
just installed on my fuze and all is working well.. i also disabled the 3 second delay in ringtone with tweaks2k2 so im happy.
gonna update the cab and remove the unnecessasary files?

it changes the answer and ignore bbuttons to a slider kinda like what a_c did in his s2u2 app.

the curtain is in the black version as well.
the battery ggague is there for the dialer screen you need to enable it by regedit.
I've installed this on my Sprint TP and it appears to work fine. The only gripe I have is that it has "Green" highlight bars on the dialer screen and the rest of the highlight bars in TF3D are "Yellow"
Is there a way to change those easily?
yes by regedit.
hold on i will tell you what that regedit address is.
disable call and end button.

reserved...my freiend
also this one too... ya never know...
nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D
almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS
the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great
Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).
This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck
no acceleration required
Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha
I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else
Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.
Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.
Awesome. Love it.
Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....
thanks for your feedback Jerry
