This handy power utility, created by XDA moderator DaveShaw, will allow you to shutdown, reset, put your device to sleep or turn the display off. Many utilities do one or the other, but not many give you the ability to perform all of these actions. One of the best features of this app is that you can skin it. You can change the background easily by looking in the app’s folder. Advanced users can edit the files to make their own theme.

Features:

* Shutdown actually works.
* Fully skinnable, will work in any resolution.
* Full screen mode.
* Sleep / Light’s out modes
* Command Line (see “Usage” in developer’s thread).
