How To Replace Long Press Power Button Shutdown App With PsShutXP

[eazy2001x]

Orig title:How Do I Remap Power To An App On My Mogul

I want to replace my long press power button application with psshutxp. I tried to edit the registry, rename the link to long_press etc..., map key 00EC and nothing.. Need help...

I did download aebplus but it fights with the default shutdown app..

i'm running WM6.1 on my sprint mogul

Don’t do that to me.. Because I do contribute when I can.. and I actually have a fix.......

If you didn’t know you could have posted that.. Well here it is..

You need to do two things..
1. Save and zip the file called “PowerOffWarning.exe” from the windows directory
2. Go to the directory that has your psshutxp executable in it and rename the psshutxp.exe to PowerOffWarning.exe.
3. Zip the new “PowerOffWarning.exe” and skin files into a zip file.
4. Execute the zip file and overwrite the “PowerOffWarning.exe” file in the windows directory.
5. Press and hold your power button and enjoy your new shutdown/reset/screen off options.

NOTE: the only reason I choose to do it on long press is because I sometimes quickly want to turn off my screen when putting the phone back into the case. I don’t want to worry or wait for the app to come up and choose an option.

I have attached the two files and they came from a Mogul running WM6.1. If you use these files please backup your device first.

maybe someone can create a cab for me please ;-)

[zerocool81]

mm with diamond don't go.. any ideas?

[bambu456]

Great idea Eazy. I'll be waiting for a cab too...

On my hermes, there is no poweroffwarning.exe, so your solution will not work on all devices.

Just had a quick look at the running tasks, and the warning comes from gwes.exe, which is the 'Graphics, Windowing and Events Subsystem'

Works fine on my Touch Pro.
And, if you use program like Resco Explorer, you can pass the ZIP routine, and go directly to overwriting the .exe :).

works on my Trinity 6.1

very nice thank you!!!

seems like you know your problem.. so run the app and make sure its the same app to shut down your phone then replace it following the process.. i never said that it will work on all devices hence the reason that i posted what phone i was using.. i am using it on my diamond as well..

if you need any more help let me know.. all i did was post a process that worked for me. if you need to use a diff exe please feel free to do so..

I'm sorry, I certainly didn't intend to imply any criticism of your work.

For anyone else in my situation, unfortunately the gwes.exe is a vital process, which is always running, and does more than just the power off warning. As there is no standalone app for this warning in my rom, there is no exe which can be replaced.

[Anthony2oo5]

I made a cab for the method stated.

PsShutXP_Replace.cab is just an automated way of Eazys method on the first page so check that first.

PsShutXP_Diamond.cab is the same method but with the VGA version and a diamond skin from lesteryh (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401248)

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

Can this be undone if it doesn't work?

[smotrs]

I think there's still the issue where it doesn't work right if you also use S2U2. not sure which ones at fault there.

[atoz350]

Works fine on my Vogue running NSFAN's 6.1 Rom. I'm also running S2U2.

I dought the uninstall will work. If you want to go back then read Eazys post on page one and backup the file first.

Hey.. Can I ask you to change up how your cab works.. Just to make things easy.. I have not ventured into how to make cab's yet but will soon..

User:

Install PsShutXP (QVGA/VGA)then run the (not yet created) cab

Your cab:
create a directory under \program files\PsShutXP called Backup
create a directory under \program files\PsShutXP called modfile
copy \Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe to \program files\PsShutXP\backup
copy \program files\PsShutXP\PsShutXP.exe to \program files\PsShutXP\modfile\PowerOffWarning.exe
copy program files\PsShutXP\modfile\PowerOffWarning.exe to Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe and overwrite the file.
copy \program files\PsShutXP\*.gif to \Windows\

and on your uninstall
copy \program files\PsShutXP\Backup\PowerOffWarning.exe to \Windows

This will allow the user to uninstall the program if needed.

I am also using that skin on My Touch pro but removed the text up top that says Touch Diamond.

If you could create that cab it would be greatly appreciated. Until then everyone can just follow the manual process..

I'll help you out.. I don’t think gwes.exe is the right file for you to be looking at.. How about this.. It seems that when you hold down your power button you get the same type of power off warning box that we do.. How about you go into your windows directors and sort by exe. Then start clicking on each exe until you see the warning box pop up and then you will know which file shuts down your phone. That’s how I found the PowerOffWarning.exe file. Please report back...

[MongarEric]

There's a thread over at ppcgeeks that I can't find right now, but it said to just copy the psshutxp.exe and paste a .lnk in \Windows\. Then you rename the "psshutxp.lnk" to "Long_Power.lnk". This method doesn't overwrite any exe's and works like a charm on my Touch Pro.

[eazy2001x]

at the time that did not work on my mogul.. if it is working for you then your good.. if it works for anyone else then they dont need to use this process.. i have not tested that on my diamond pro since this worked for me.

I found out that it is gwes.exe by using soti pocket controller, which allows you to see all the running processes in a task manager on you desktop. Upon holding down the long press power button, the only change was to gwes.exe. This is when I used soti to take the screen shot I posted.
Despite this, I went through the executables in the windows folder, as per your suggestion, but with no joy.

I did look out my old wizard though, and you can add that to your list of working devices.

...Or could it be that it is dependent on the rom rather than the device, in which case different roms on the same device could have this problem or not?
Has anyone got a hermes with a non joshkoss rom who can shed some light?

not sure just copy and save the file in the windows folder just in case, although i don't really know why you would want to uninstall it it has the same options as the normal set up

[flaviopac]

Is there any PsShutXP which turn completely off the device?

The one I own doesn't switch my Touch completely off......:(

[z_rudy]

It's possible to create a shortcut to the psShutXP executable and call it Long_Power.lnk and palce it in the Windows directory. This would do the job... at least on Kaiser.

this is just a way to replace the long press, if the application wont work for you normally then there is no point in replacing the power button long press. Sorry..

is this will the process i listed a few post back?

I dont think this will work for you and since i dont have your device i dont think i will be able to help out.. but question.. when you install the application, does it work as intended? screen off, power off and reset?

It works on my ARTEMIS...thank you man!

Which OS?

Hey I followed steps by eazy2001x and worked on my Touch Diamond and it works 100% flowlessly.

Here is what I did:
1. Backup the file “PowerOffWarning.exe” from the windows directory
2. Go to the directory that has your psshutxp executable in it and rename the psshutxp.exe to PowerOffWarning.exe.
3. copy the new “PowerOffWarning.exe” and skin files into windows directory. overwrite if asked.
4. Press and hold your power button and enjoy your new shutdown/reset/screen off options.

Note: I used resco explorer for file operations.

Thanks easy2001x
