psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I couldn't find this when I first got my Diamond last week, and it's an app that I really liked so I thought I'd post the cab here in VGA format for other new Diamond users.

You can download other VGA skins for the app here: http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/


fyi: for those that aren't familiar, this app is a reset/powerdown app.

Mods feel free to remove if this is already linked elsewhere. Thanks

EDIT: Briggs found a newer version over at XDA. Everything works now as it should. Soft reset/Power Down/Screen OFF, and Hard Reset all work in this version. The newer version is the second cab posted. I left them both up in case someone still wants the older version. Have fun!

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

does the turn off function work for you?

I've noticed that it doesn't shut down but it just turns of the display, the same as the display off button

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Yes. I mainly use it to soft reset the device (as opposed to taking off the back cover and manually hitting the reset button). It saves you a lot of time. The shut down feature never worked in any of the HTC models that I've tried it in. All it does, as you said, is turns the screen off.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

This is a nice application. Also wanted to share that both adv config and diamond tweak also have built in soft reset option in case people didn't know. Thanks!

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Yes, those are good as well. Only big difference as that this is made just for that. Simply place in start menu, program shortcut, or even map elsewhere, and all it requires is two taps (its really quick, usually a 1.5 sec to go into soft reset). I think this is better for those who soft reset often (like myself). ](*,)

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Awesome app!! Thanks

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Anytime! Merry Christmas!

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Just curious, what happens if your diamond locks up? Dont see you being able to get to that app to even use it. Back to removing the cover anyway.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Are you serious? The app obviously won't be used under that circumstance.

Being a PPCGEEK, you are always doing regedits, wanting to free up leaked memory, and soft resetting is something that is done often. This makes it a hella lot easier and quicker.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

must i have purchased the tom tom maps for this to work?

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

No. This is a soft reset application. Nothing to do with TomTom.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

can you post some good skins that goes w/ it? - One that will go well w/ HTC Touch PRO.

I can't read the link.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

You can't read the link?? :scratch: You dont have to read it anyways, all you have to do is click on the link.

Edit: lol....they changed the link on me. I'll try to find the link again.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I found what I wanted.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399776

How do I install the skins now? Sorry for being a noob.

Edit - Doh! Instruction on that site lol.

Thanks.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Just copy the gif files to Installation Directory, by default it is
\Program Files\psShutXP

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Thanks for the link. I have updated the first post to reflect.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

So I should put 2 images, and 1 shortcut icon to the folder correct?

I hope it's right. Already done, and resetting lol.

anyways Thanks man.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Yup, just copy all the gifs to the psshutxp directory, and then soft reset.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Hmn. The image files must be small.

It's alot smaller than the default look.

Default pop up was wide as the screen of Touch PRO, now, it's about 1/3 of it.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I just did it to mine, same directions as I gave you, and it stretches across the entire middle of the screen :scratch:

Edit: I just checked the files from that web site and those aren't VGA files, they are qvga (thats why they look so small when you installed). I'll have to take that link down, and search for VGA skins.

Edit: The original link I posted is the correct one for the VGA Skins as they are the Developers. It seems that the site is just down at the moment. Perhaps it will be back up at a later time.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I'd create a shortcut to psshutxp, and rename it Long_Power. If you place that shortcut in the /Windows directory, psshutxp will be opened everytime you hold the main powerbutton for 2-3 seconds so you can soft reset your TP by using one hardware key + quick tap on the screen.

I hate having the poke the reset button lol

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Bah. I see. Back to googling then lol.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

No need to get touchy. Just seem to see what the problem is with waiting a few seconds holding the power button in to reset. But oh well.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Nice find.

but,

If you have to wait 2-3 seconds and still tap the screen. Would'nt it be faster just to do it the regular way? For example, the psshutxp shortcut is on my home screen. Tap it twice. Done.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

There are too frequent moments when those few seconds becomes a hassle in our lives, and perhaps that's why someone came up with the software/program.

I personally love it, and it's one of the most programs I use on my Touch Pro. Anyways, nuff about the off topic.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I assume that would be pretty nice but I use TF3D and would put it in my app tab. All work ok and I would probably definately use if i was just using the today screen where it was a tap away.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Didnt mean to come across as touchy. So I apologize.

Its a lot longer process than that.

You need to remove your back cover, take out your stylus, look for the hole, depress it, put cover back on, and then put stylus back in slot.

It's just easier to tap a button on your screen and be done with it

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

You can place it in your start menu as well.....just a thought.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

I just tried to put the couple of pic files, not exec one to the program folder, and does not work at all.

Darn it though. It is a nice skin for it.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

True. I tend to not ever use the start menu. lol. Guess i forget its there. Oh well. Sorry I butted in. Ill let you guys get back on topic.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Please, don't apologize, this isn't a private chat lol. I tend to use the start menu quite often since its shows your most recent used apps, and makes it easier to launch them.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Have to start giving it a chance. Lol.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Just tried to use the hard reset option in psshutxp on my diamond.

Doesn't work at all leaves everything pretty much as is. Just an FYI

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

There's no hard reset option, maybe thats why.

Edit: Yes there it. My bad.

Edit 2: I'll take your word for it! Don't want to erase everything to test it :)

Edit 3: All these Edits make me sound like an idiot! lol

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

the one im using does have a hard reset option. i didnt get mine from here but its the same app. never tried the hard reset though, but its there.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

guess you editted what you said about no hard reset option.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Yes. Thats why I wrote, "Edit:".

I thought he was referring to the shut down option.

I was wrong.

He was referring to the Power icon in the top right corner. I personally have never used it, as I only use this program to soft reset and nothing more.

Nevertheless it was a good observation, one that I wouldn't dare try to prove or disprove. My phone is finally the way I like it :)

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

im not busting balls, i thought it was funny it tajes me so long to type that you edited your post before i was done typing. then my post dont make sense. lol p.s glad the avatar is back. lol

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Im so sorry lol....would you like me to edit it again so that your post makes sense again? Done...lol

Yeah. I figured I would keep my old avatar since most are used to it already.

Re: psshutxp- VGA/Diamond/Pro Version here
 

Moved to software forum.
