I just made a little app this morning and just a thought of sharing it to you.
This little app has a capbility of reseting and shutting down your phone. I put a little design which I think you notice the look was a little Windows Phone 7 or the Metro Style?
here are some of screen shots
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Countdown Timer
The countdown timer gives you time to decide on what you want to do (it's just 5 seconds anyway) and if you want to reset your device immediately, tap on the center button; and if you want to Cancel the reset, you can always tap the Left Red X button but if you thought you want to Shutdown your device, you will still have time to tap the right button.
What's with confirmation messages?
1 reason is, development standards..
And the idea was, you might statistically or probably 1 of 10 person accidentally tap the Cancel or Shutdown button.. So we want to confirm if the end-user really want to do that? So what we do is .. to ASK.
CONFIGURING JWMD Phone Reset
You can find a little file named "Settings.ini" somewhere you installed this application:
If in "Device"
\Program Files\JWMD Phone Reset
If in "Storage Card"
\Storage Card\Program Files\JWMD Phone Reset
Now open that Settings.ini
And you'll see (by default):
1|5|1
1st Digit: Enable/Disable Countdown Timer
2nd Digit: Timer Interval
3rd Digit: Enable/Disable Confirmation Messages.
So if you want to disable Countdown Timer and Confirmation Messages. You must have something like this.
0|5|0
To make the Countdown longer, e.g. 10 seconds
1|10|1
and SAVE. That's it.
HOW TO SKIN
There are 7 JPG files in %installpath%\JWMD Phone Reset\images folder:
Background.jpg
Cancel_Normal.jpg
Cancel_Tap.jpg
Reset_Normal.jpg
Reset_Tap.jpg
Shutdown_Normal.jpg
Shutdown_Tap.jpg
The image file names are pretty self explainable
Notes:
This doesn't hook the Power Button.
This is not Bug Free.
Compatible in this resolutions:
QVGA, VGA, WVGA, SqVGA
FUTURE:
Hook it on Power Button
Configuration UI
Comments and Feedbacks are much appreciated.

Don't want to try and crash my phone, like with xdashutdown. So does it work on WinMo 6.1? (Yep, old now) For Acer devices too?

Ok, i've finally tryed, and it works perfectly.
But i don't really like the confirmation messages (for cancel, ...) and the auto-reset countdown. I would like to use it to shutdown my phone too, not to reset it everyday.
Thanks for this app', very promising in my opinion ! (and it could be better with french support but i know, it's a beta...).

Thanks i simply just love WP 7 theme. Such a nice theme
Looks great, very nice work.
I personally would rather see this app do this : give option for 1) reset; 2) shutdown; 3) cancel. No countdown timer.
Again, good job.
Peace
Very easy to use, thanks

Very nice, can't wait for power button hook !
cool app... love the layout.. but i am actually one of the users that despise the confirmation messages....
i had to go out and buy a reset app... which was saved in the middle of my phone on a quick link.. and right when i push it.. it resets the phone.. that i think is proper functionality of a soft reset button...
but for something that you created in a short amount of time.. this is very impressive work.. and i love the look of it.. good job mate
i work it on my hd2 well
Kudos Pare! Awesome job. Salamat!
kabayan! salamat!!
Greetings Nullstring...
Tried this app on my samsung i780 WM6.5.3, error says device not supported. Would it be possible to have this app work on my beloved i780?
TIA

Wow, Great! How/where is the password stored?
Thanks T! I'm with the flash thing now .

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The default password is the top left dot (just click on it). Once you have setted your own pattern (you can do that by tap&hold and then select change pattern) it's stored on a file called lockcode.txt in the app folder.
Ohhh! Looks amazing, installing ASAP !
EDIT: First thoughts:
WOW! This app is amazing, especially for the first beta. Honestly, I'd use this as is with no changes. I think I'm going to skin it later this weekend to see how it looks. Therer were a few things I noticed however.
If you enter the wrong pattern, "again" is spelled "aggain".
The load time took about 5-6 seconds on my touch.
That was really all that I noticed with it. Works very smooth and and I really like the transparent affect on it!
Just a few suggestions:
Please keep it simple like it is, too much extra will just slow it down.
The option to overlap existing lines in the pattern would give some extra security.
Making it full screen with an extra row of dots.
Sorry to sound like a pain, but I really like this development and would like to see this grow a lot.
Again, excellent work, keep it up !
Omgawd. Alfonso. I love you. You always come out with the things i need at exactly the right time I was looking for something like the iPhone S2U. I know A_C almost perfected it, but i really wanted a passcode thing. I'm going to double lock my phone now, Throttle Lock under my S2U2.
i think maybe it would be faster if the background was all black. i think transparency slows it down...
anyways, this is amazing.
EDIT: nevermind black background looks ugly.
WOW. Dude, you've done it again, this is ground breaking stuff.
I can;t fault it apart from the slow loading times. It's awesome
Also, is there anyway you can allow diagonals from one to the other? If you see what I mean?
Nice work!
Thanks, coooooool app. T M Z
Hi,
It looks awesome! Can anyone report on the effect on battery life?
Battery Life: ive only been using for about an hour and nothing bad. plus it only opens when you wake up your deivce so its not ALWAYS running.
I'm skinning it as we speak!
Very nice work APBilbo. Thank You. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. S2U2 is just to overloaded for my liking. It didn't seem to work right at first after I set the pattern, so I soft reset and now it works flawless on my Sprint Touch stock 6.1 ROM. Again Thank You, BOO
One Word... "Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Loving it.. lookin forward to the creativity to continue..
Bien Hecho!
I've been looking for an Android lock app ever since i saw the video preview of googles android OS.. what ive been looking for
great work!
Are you planning on adding features like S2U2? I asked A_C to add the patter feature to his unlock and he would not so I'm hoping you add the features he has so we can all have the best of everything.
Having an option to make the pattern "pads" invisible would allow the features from S2U2 can be added onscreen
so i made a "skin" for this.

Thank's everybody for the feedback!!
As i fas as I see there's no problems other than the speed thing... I'll try to speed it up a little bit. I can't promiss anything though.
About where will the throttle development go I don't plan to make it very complex. May be in the future I'll add:
- Full screen support.
- Some icon notifications for missed calls, new sms, new mail.
Understand that this is mostly a locking app to secure your device. Any info given on it will be public, so it will not show anything like next appointment, last called id, etc.... Though you're able to receive calls while the device is locked.
Thanks!!!

+1 only VGA? thank you
should work in any resolution.
try it on your own!
Tried it on Elf, stock wm6 rom. Works quite well, both from internal memory and from Storage Card! Eats about 2MB of memory while running with 6-7 tasks. Definitely awesome for a beta version, didn't try to figure out skinning yet so I don't know if it works. Only complaint is the bottom bar, it would look much better full screen. Super thanks for taking the time to update the code!
edit: and about 1.5MB without any tasks open. Wheep, that's a lot!

well, can't argue on that.
even worse, not only it keeps snapshots of all running apps. It takes new ones from time to time, so some productivity overhead as well.
for me, just keep Vista in mind.
Works great on my Diamond - thanks for continueing this great piece of sw.
Had it crashing after selecting tools-> sel det (select detection I believe)
Apart from that it works great.

tiny bug
I have MWC2 cursors installed and everytime i use dynamo the cursor keeps on running and running... I have to either exit dynamo (completely stop it) or completely exit MWC2 cursors..
By the way THANKS for the update and its working perfect on my TMo wing 6.0
Hey gps-lover. Huge thanks for taking the lead on this. Couple of things that I think should be addressed. First of all, I agree that the bottom bar isn't really necessary. Full screen would be welcome here. Also, the re-addition of settings back into the program is needed, and I'd love to see the ability to set a background image, not just a color. Another thing I'd like to see is to have tap-and-hold close a program. Having thumbnails of programs, but then having to click a teeny tiny X if you want to close one kind of defeats part of the purpose to me, and since tap-and-hold presently does nothing, that seems like a logical choice. And finally, is there any way to have Dynamo take a screenshot of a program running in the background? I ask because sometimes (many times) it will take a screenshot of a program as it is being minimized, or else it won't have taken it before something significantly changed on the screen so that the thumbnail displayed does not match up with the program. If Dynamo could take screenshots of background programs and display those, it would solve this nagging issue.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to work on this great program!

it dont work on 240x400 Omnia screen. it says un supported screen resolution.. pleas make it work for Omnia.. that would be wonderful..
I found this to be a bit on the slow side on Diamond, but it's still a terriffic start. Keep optimizing and you'll have a legend of a program that'll be included in every custom ROM on the planet.

I have the same trouble with this version as the previous two versions which is if I get a voicemail, i get no voicemail icon on s2u2 screen until i go into settings then come out of it again at which point it shows i have -1 voicemails. This is on a Touch Pro. This wasnt an issue in 1.52.

Counting Sheep 0.2
Do you consume lots of caffeine, or just sleep poorly? This Counting Sheep is a exercise, where you have to drag identical white sheep over the bridge (while they are doing backflips). The idea, presumably, is to induce boredom while occupying the mind with something simple, repetitive, and rhythmic, all of which are known to help humans sleep.
The text and idea draws from the Wikipedia article.
When you go to sleep with the application, be sure to plug in the charger. Application will run until the morning (then you will see how many sheep you have counted ). To exit, press the right top corner.
Includes graphics for all display resolutions (except HVGA) and runs on Pocket PC 2002 and higher .
Code:
CHANGELOG
0.1
- Initial release
0.2
+ App will not stay open all night anymore. When you stop counting for 10 minutes, you will be asked if you are sleeping and if you do not start to count again in 15 seconds, the app will end, so the device can sleep too. (tip by simzz)
+ Larger exit button (tip by TrillionChampion)
+ Semitransparent numbers
TO DO:
- HVGA support
- Auto counting
- Saving how many sheep have you counted?

Great game, cool idea!

good night!
Awesome thanks ;D
Good idea too
hello mister developer. could you add an options menu and an option to have the sheep go automatically? and a setting to set interval/frequency. all this swiping will keep some of us awake ;p
Haha funny one Good job
Looks great. I have an idea for a feature. Maybe every 15 minutes a screen could come up and say "exiting in 5 seconds" and you would have to tap the screen to keep it open. That way, it wouldn't stay open all night, but if you really are awake and using the app, then you could just tap and renew your 15 minutes. Just an idea, thought it might be kind of useful.
My little Niece loves this thanks
Great little game, really simple and amazing, thank you for this one

but how phone go sleep ?
thats mean ppc is on to morning ?!
Another cool app from Czech republic Going to try it tonight
Short Video :
Works seamlessly on TMOUS HD2, would be better if there was a visible exit button in my opinion.
Keep up the great work!
Tried this on my HTC HD Mini today.
It works, but (not surprisingly I suppose) as the HD Mini has a HVGA screen resolution, you literally can only see half the screen! The background is cut off horizontally about mid-way across the bridge, which I assume from the screen shots should be in the middle horizontally? Vertically the background appears to be correct.
Seems to work otherwise. If you have chance to scale the resolution for HVGA, I'd appreciate it.
Many thanks and congratulations.

Yep, I'll implement this in the new version 0.3 .
[17th October,2010 v1.1 (W)VGA/(W)QVGA ]
[4th September 2010 v1.0 (W)VGA only]
Dunno which to choose?
Try Paul's Pick.
It's designed like a WP7 app.
Require .NET CF 3.5
For WVGA/VGA/QVGA/WQVGA
what about HVGA?
I'm not able to test this.but I guess the (W)QVGA version should work on it.
Anyone use HVGA phone can try it and give me a feedback.many thanks
New Features:
1.[Require G-sensor]Shake your phone to move Paul.
thx emailoverhere's idea:Allow the user to tilt the phone left and right to persuade the octopus to move to another box instead of the original decision (like Tetris).
but it's not like Tetris.You have to shake the phone but not slowly tilt it.
Or Paul won't be able to choose unless your keep your phone on the flat surface.
2.Change the value of Paul's muscle(fat?).
Double click the screen.An Option dialog shows to let you change the value.
move the slider to change it.
Also,you can switch On/Off to enable/disable the 1st feature.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The more muscle Paul has,the more tightly Paul would hold the chosen box.
[the longer distance the box would move with Paul when you shake the phone.]
3.Fish move around.
There are 3 kinda fish:Betta Fish(windows 7 beta gallery),Clown Fish(iphone gallery),Fishbone(?)
4.show the entire text of your choices.
If the text is too long to show entirely on the box,press the box and..see this:
notice:It takes much more time to load the main page for the first time you click start to see Paul
"Paul's Pick.CAB" is the old 1.0 (W)VGA version.
[How to use]
When start,you'll see only 3 buttons.
Click 'Start' and you'll get 2 textboxes,which means can set 2 choices.
To add a choice[up to 6 choices],click the bottom 'Add' icon.
Also..
Click 'Minus' icon to delect the last choice.
Click 'Keyboard' icon to show/hide the screen keyboard.
Click '...' to show/hide the bottom menu.
After setting your choices(2 - 6 choices)and click start.
There will appear several boxes with your choices' text on them.
Paul will swim to a box that he (randomly) choose for you.
You can move(drag and drop) the boxes.Paul would always swim to the box he chose.
[Something about the tentacles]
Well,an octopus has 8 tentacles.but in this app,Paul shows only 6 tentacles.
It would also make the app work more smoothly.And too many tentacles would seem messy/orderless.
Maybe I can say,the two other tentacles are on the app's icon.
------------------
I got too many schoolwork to waste my time and so many new apps' ideas to make.
So..I'm not sure to make another new version of this app now..
我有太多功课来浪费时间,还有很多想实现的新程序想法.
所以现在不打算做本程序的新版本..
Looks awesome...will try this...
nice....... gonna give this a go...
thanks man
@ai6908 & conantroutman
Thanks!
Also,u can use it as a dice by setting 6 choices to No.1-6.
Have fun!!
WOW! Now everyone can let Paul to do the picking! Must try this already. Thank you for writing this!

Hilarious

Yes.making decisions by urself is the best thing to do(Including deciding to let Paul to make decision).
and,Thanks DRBEAN
Suggestion for PAUL
1) Limits the characters you can use to type in a box. Too many letters will mean the word get chopped off in the box.
2) Allow the user to tilt the phone left and right to persuade the octopus to move to another box instead of the original decision (like Tetris).
3) Maybe add in move fish swimming by animations.
4) Allow an option to fry Paul if the user does not like its decision.
Thanks for the app.

Thanks for your nice ideas!I'll try to enable these.
but not sure to "Allow an option to fry Paul if the user does not like its decision."
It's funny..
but will I be warned by WFPA(World Society for the Protection of Animals)?
Nice App, Thanks TangoChen
I have added it here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/09/11/pauls-pick-paul-the-octopus-on-windows-phone.html

Thanks!

sorry,guys.
It's been so long with nothing updated.
cuz my school day started again..
it means,the school will keep me doing boring and useless homework all days..
though I know that is no use at all to do it,I have no ideas to change it.
If I don't learn all these boring things,I won't get a high score.
Without a high score I won't get into a better university.
then no occupational units would hire me.
they just see what university you studied at and how many score you got!
As a Chinese student,nothing I should do but useless schoolwork!!
I've been mad with these things,I really don't want to go to school.

Come on!The new version is just released~
TangoChen, excellent job for the QVGA version!
Nowadays seldom people will make apps for QVGA because new devices are bigger screen/resolution.
