OK, the reboot one is kind of silly. I decompiled it. You want to know what the implementation of the reboot function is?
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
string str = Common.UppercaseWords(AppResources.ApplicationTitle.ToLower());
if (MessageBox.Show(AppResources.RebootMessage, str, MessageBoxButton.OKCancel) == MessageBoxResult.OK)
{
this.RebootOSNow();
return;
}
Application.Current.Terminate();
}
private async void RebootOSNow()
{
await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("test:"));
}

... WTF? And no, it doesn't register a handler for the "test:" URI scheme. That's got to be something built in, that if called empty, reboots the phone. It's probably not *meant* to reboot the phone, though. Which raises all kinds of interesting questions about what it *is* meant to do...
I'll look at the screen-locking one in a sec.

OK, the Lock Screen one is actually weirder, in a way. It uses a native component, through a WINMD called WP8Helper.winmd. This WINMD file is larger than normal, 17KB even though it only exports a single class with five functions (for comparison, my FileSystem and Registry WINMDs combined are smaller than that, and have many times as many classes, structs, and APIs) and there's no corresponding native DLL. Nor does the WMAppManifest mention any in-process components. My best guess at an explanation for this is that the WINMD itself contains the native code and calls it directly (.P/Invoke, or possibly NET unsafe?) rather than through COM. Another possibility, I guess, is that the native DLL this WINMD talks to is in System32 and automatically loaded into the app...

Still, there isn't any shutdown app yet
