JWMD Phone Reset v1.5b

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


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...).
