Hi Folks,
i found a trick to make an autoinstall from strorage card (like from extended Rom)!
autorun.exe looks for the file config.txt on the place is in registry stored in:
"HKLM\Comm"
"AutoRunCFG" = "\Speicherkarte\Autoinstall\config.txt"
so i changed the registry entry and now i am able to put config.txt and the files to install on every place i want.
on windows Mobile 2003 devices this works wonderful!
on problem i have now with windows mobile 5 devices:
when installing a question appears where to store files (device or storage card)!
can anybody help me to get rid of this question during automatic cab install??
i want install all cab files to device without any questions!!
pbelcl: apologies for my ignorance, but is this very different to a 2577 folder?
with a 2577 cab we could use this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=225375#225375
and choose a default install folder I think for WM5.

Thanks for your quick answer!
i read the other tread and if i understood it right i have to remove the .dll file from my cabs?
i'll try this and tell you if it worked ....
I think the other way round.
I've never done it before, but you need to make a custom cab and .inf file, and specify the installation location in therere, and then the "choose a location" dialog doesn't come up. I'm not sure, I'll try this at home later.

Thanks, that would be interesting for me because i cant generate cab files because i hav no developer software for this.
i also have access to a cab file manager (at a customer) where i can edit the cab files and change them as i need it.
if it is possible to generate an "empty" cab file for me that would be nice ....
pbelcl: I never use the cabwizard either, I use cab manager. To make an empty cab, take any normal cab (download one of mine?) and just remove all the files from it. That's what I always do!

ok, this is also my way to get an empty cab file
there is one question interesting:
Sometimes there is a "CheckFile.exe" and a "CeSetup.dll" in the cab file.
Do i need them for any work during install this cabfile or can i delete them also?
I remove everything from my cabs, and then use cab manager and drag and drop stuff. So I've never used those files. I will have to read up on how to make a "normal", but I don't think they're necessary if you didn't put them in there!

Hi folks,
again my last problem with automatic install on WM5 devices:
when my automatism starts to install the cab files (from where ever) each time there comes a popup windows where to install the cabfile (storage card or device).
for my routines it is not important becaue most of my cab files only set some registry keys and dont install files on the device!
Does anybody know how i can get rid of this window and install the files to device WITHOUT question popup window??
Hi
I wonder if somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify software installtion CAB's so that I can load them into extended ROM so that on a hard reset they automatically install & register..
For example SPB GPS monitor. I've downloaded the CAB and install file. I have installed it to my MDA,registered it and downloaded the tariff file.
Now, I can find the tariff registry file and update the CAB file (using WinCAB). Also, I can search for the registration files in the registry an add those to the CAB file.
But how do I automatically install to the device or storage card without having to specify?? Has anybody customised the install CAB's???
Cheers
John
Well for doing this u must do the following:
1) unhide the extended_rom
2) unlock it
3) view it with a third party program
4) copy into it the .cab u want
5) edit config.txt in extended_rom so it will run the .cab u want.
But the most important thing u must do.... it took me 2 days to find it out and over 20 hard reset... is to first run a .cab file that it will disable the wm5 security. When u install a program not to ask u if it is not authorized.
That is it...
I cannot find a working cab to disable the WM5 security.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for that. But I have no problem with modifying the extended ROM. What I wanted to know was is there a way that when a CAB file is run from extended ROM it will be installed to the device/Storage card and be registered, withour having to enter anything during installation.
I guess I could look for the Registry entries and make those into a CAB file, I wondered if the program installation CAB could be mofified in any way??

I want to cook a ROM for my Prophet (Jamin)
I want to delete some programs that I don't need from AKU Aserg 3.13 and Add some programs that I use them
So I download tools for cooking rom and extract the ROM to my PC...
But I don't know how can I determine the files for a program That i want to delete or ADD from ROM.
for example I want to delete Total Commander from my ROM and ADD Resco Explorer 2007 !
But I don't know which Files and DLL files are related to Total Coammander , and I have an EXE file or CAB file for Resco Explorer how can i put Resco Explorer or other program to my ROM?
Thanks for helping me.
Couple of notes:
1) There is a free tool called "Dependency walker" which will show you what DLL files a certain exe is linked to.
2) There are several apps that can unpack a cab file, some free some not just google for them.
You will have 2 problems with Resco explorer:
a) If the cab contains a setup.dll you would need to find out what that does and replicate its function or the installation will not be complete.
b) This is a commercial program so you need to find out how its registration is stored (which is not easy) and add the registration manually.
There's a tool call ssnap (system snap?) to take a snap shoot of yr PDA (registry, file systems). Then use a diff tool (beyond compare is very good but not free) to compare the before and after install (and register)

Thanks u for good helping.
we know that the programs in te ROMs is not sufficient so we install programs for our needs. for example Dr.YAR Bluetooth manager, SPB pocket plus , SPB Mobile shell that use storage memory for installing and can't be install correctly in Storage card, so the Storage memory will be full after installing these programe and same...
So would u plz help me to put these file to my AKU3.13 ROM ?
Thanks a lot
So here's the scoop. You got this killer rom, but it loads a whole bunch of stuff that you don't want. You get around this by resetting before the configuration starts after aligning the screen.
You might have a host of cabs that you always load, and after you flash you need to run each one. Every rom you use it's the same thing - flash the rom, then load all your cabs.
Or, you may have a program you want to execute, such as enabling SetHSDPA.
Here's a way to "automate" it so you can use the power and flexibility of the PreConfig funtion as an "after the flash" customization tool, and make subsequent installations much faster.
You'll need a folder on your storage card called CABS, and in that folder put the attached file called CFG.txt as well as the cabs / exe's etc (unless they're already in the ROM, then just point the config file to the correct path) that you want to run. The CFT.txt is the file that will tell it what to install, and is exactly like the PreConfig.txt file - see my extended rom thread for ideas on what you can do with it.
Basically, here's the contents of the CFG.txt file I attached:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\A2DPFix.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\ATIFix.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Cingular_WAP_MediaNet_MMS_Settingsv2_No_ICON_Change.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Google Maps Cell.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Monopoly.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\S2U2-0.72-WM5.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\Solitare.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\StartClean.cab
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
Just list out your cabs or actions in this file - and be sure the files you are referring to are in the destination path.
To use this setup:
Edit the CFG.txt file and place in \Storage Card\CABS (if the folder isn't there, create it)
Copy your cabs/exes into this folder, being sure they are set to READ ONLY.
Install the attached cab, and after you reset it'll start the installation!
Once the installation is complete and the phone resets - you can remove the program from Settings-Remove Programs.
Important Notes:
Don't forget to make your CABs READ ONLY - or they'll delete after installing. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
Ensure that the cabs you're installing does not require any user input. If it does, it will hang the installation process, you'll need to reset the phone, and not all of your stuff will get installed.

Is there a way to get cab files to default to installing on a Storage Card? I'm trying to prevent it from asking me where I want to install it and thus causing this tool from hanging up.
Nevermind, I made a bad assumption (yes, I know what they say about assuming things) that the PreConfig Launcher would hang up waiting for input for where to install something. I just tested it out on a cab that allows a user to override the installation directory and everything worked fine.
Sorry.

You could edit your cabs and have them install to the storage card by default - or at least I think you could. I'm thinking something like %storage card%. If I get a chance I'll poke around WinCE Cab Manager and see if it's possible.
I just tested it by building a cab to install to the folder /Storage Card, and it worked fine.

Matt,
While I'm not quite the noob the number of posts would indicate I am, I admit that I haven't done much w/ building cab's. In an attempt to build one to install directly to the storage card, I've used WinCE to alter the default directory and have altered _setup.xml file, both to no avail.
While my pride says not to ask you to tell me how you set the cab up to install to storage, I'm not above asking you to post the example you created to test this so that I can look it over and try to figure this out for myself.
Would you mind attaching a cab file that installs directly to storage for me? Please?

I could - but this is super easy. When you add a file, you get a window with three tabs, one being location. In that tab, you'll have the folder view. Click on the root '/' folder and press 'new folder'. Call it Storage Card.
That's it!

I must be an idiot to not have been able to figure that out (and my day job is computer programming, albeit on IBM Mainframes). Will work on this again once I'm back home. I'm sure big brother is already not too happy w/ all the time I spend on the forums anyway.
Thanks Matt!
so, if i were flashing a ROM i would flash, install the cab and then, assuming i already have my cabs and config files on my card, i hard reset and this should launch ok?
thanks,

From what I've done/learned no hard reset is required. You install the Pandora PreConfig Launcher and let your phone Restart. When it restarts, your cabs in the CFG.TXT file will be installed.
so after a flash or a hard reset (for whatever reason) you just install the cab and then soft reset and it will install your cabs?

right.
thanks. that's a great tool.
pardon the ignorance but i've never played w/ the WinCE cab manager. can i change the default install location on commercial cabs that i've purchased (assuming they require no interaction during install)?

Yes you can change the default install directory.
Matt,
Thanks for this great program. It makes changing roms SOOO much easier!! When combined with WinCE cab manager, you can autoinstall just about any program. This thread should be stickied.
Quick guide on how to get programs to install to storage card used WinCE Cab Manager. This guide was modified from K's FlexiRom instructions:
Preparing the cabs
---------------------------
- To set the cabs to a static path, install WinCECab Manager.
- Open a cab with WinCE Cab Manager and click on "CAB Information".
- Double click on "Default Install Dir" then select "Installation Directory"
- Change the default install directory to what every use desire. Do this by creating new directories under "/". For most users wanting to install on storage card, change path to "/Storage Card/Program Files/cabname". Before moving on to the next step, make sure that once you make the folders, click the desired installation path and click "APPLY".
- After applying the new default installation path, choose "Do not allow user to select installation directory"
- Check if there "Setup dll" is present under Cab Information. If setup dll is present, delete it off. [this step is from K's instructions, not sure if it is necessary or not. I've been doing it.]
- Save the cab then right click on the can and select "Read Only" and click apply/OK.
- Check and prepare all the cabs you want to auto install and place them into the CABS Folder of your storage card.
PS Using WinCE Cab manager, you can also modify the shortcuts of the program.
[Tool] Mod of Suiller'UC -> SUPER EASY Auto restore (Like UC/UC2) Just by copy/paste
Hi everyone,
I started the thread because I wanted to "promote" a nice way to restore cabs and regs after flashing.
I found this script way more useful than UC or UC2 as you don't have to edit files, convert reg to xml files etc. just put the file you want in folders and launch one script
... how this can be more simple ?
This nice script was just missing a script to copy files and folders to the device or the storage card.
This script should be device independent, so please test and report.
The first version of this script has been extracted from an other script created by Suiller for the rom Macadam V1.2. (discontinued)
I ripped the restore part of this script to use it on other roms
INSTALLATION/USE
Just Un-zip the attached file and place the folder "Backup and Restore" in the root of your storage card.
Then you just have to copy:
- .cab you want to install in the folder cab (cabi for those you want to install on storage card)
- .reg in the folder reg
- .exe for files you want to execute
- Files and folders in the folder "Files"
Files included in the zip:
- # Create Folder structure.mscr
- 1 install MortScript420 if needed.cab
- 2 Start Restore.mscr
- Config.mscr
- config.txt
- PimBackup.exe
- TaskMngr.exe
How to use:
1) Extract the zip into the root of your storage card
you will have a structure like:
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\CAB
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\CAB\CABi
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\EXE
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\Files
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\REG
...
2) install mortscript (if not already installed on your rom)
3) run the script "# Create Folder structure.mscr" if you want the "default" suiller UC structure (not mandatory)
4) populate the folders with .cab, .reg, .exe and files to match your needs
5) start the script "2 Start Restore.mscr"
6) be patient and note the the CABi script is not perfect (already installed cabs, errors etc... will fail)
Explanation for the folder "Files":
All files and folders in the folder "Backup and restore\files" will be copied to the divce starting from the root of the device.
Example:
\Backup and Restore\Files\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Backup and Restore\Files\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Backup and Restore\Files\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr
Will be copied to:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr
Note: The *.cab and *.reg execution is by alphabetical order, so if some cabs/regs need to be restore before others rename them (for example A_Resco explorer, B_Resco registry Etc ...)
Enjoy !
The only thing this script misses is:
- a copy folder where to put files and folders to be restored to device and internal storage(for shortcuts, ringtones, folders to copy/create automatically) - Done, thanks to Myself ... found inspiration around
- support of other roms for other phones (the name of "internal storage" for example) - done, thanks to Suiller - need feedback now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
V3.1 Added create folder "Files" in script "# Create Folder structure.mscr"
V3.0 Added Copy files and Folders
V2.1 Bug, not importing *.Reg - fixed
Changed some timings and paths
V2.0 Some improvements and auto detection of the name of the storage card

for the usefulness of a COPYi, i think it's still interresting to be able to copy files from "internal storage" to "internal storage" for example to overwrite config files, or patch installed programs etc.
I think this function has been already written but not integrated with the actual script.
more info on what the previous version of this script was able to do, extracted from the link given before:
suiller said:
The previous version of this script was able to:
- after rom installation an automated procedure will ask you: configure general speed & GPS profiles; remove ActiveSync time change queue (stop popup every 5 min); left/right softkey configuration; CAB & CABi + REG + EXE installation/execution (as mentioned above) + upx compression phase, then choose backup method & eventually load a restore, restore previous saved Start Menu + tweakPers script and for finish reboot to apply changes
- once your cab installation is completed and the reboot phase is done you can open tweakPerm under Scripts folder (simple notepad is enough) and read carefully the comments inside, take inspiration & make changes (copy/paste) in the tweakPers script (an example is here); all these scripts are independent, so for example you can use tweakPers at any time, after every hard reset or a new flash the only one that wont touched is that script (this is the reason why your personalization should go in that file)
- then you can re-organize shortcuts in your "\windows\Start Menu" directory to fit your needs, then run the script "backupStartMenu", this will make a copy of your "final" start menu directory, useful to preserve your original Start Menu structure (in this way it can be restored automatically on next flash)
- the last important folder (always under "Backup and Restore" directory) is "pimbackup", under this directory will be saved automatic pim backups during night(contacts/sms/call logs/et cetera)

Tuto: How to format your diamond (not internal storage) before flashing:
Why this procedure ? : Because it works and because it's easier than flashing the original HTC stock rom before flashing a cooked rom... and also because flashing an original htc stock rom was not enough sometimes to stop my strange problems on my diamond when flashing rom's.
Here we go:
1. bring the device to bootloader. in diamond: (Volume down + reset)
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty 1.42_538 on your PC.
- Select USB from the "Port" drop-down on the upper left corner of the dialog box and hit OK
- another screen will come up. Hit enter and that will show "USB>"
6. CMD>task 29
- wait untill finished then exit.
7. Flash the ROM of your choice.

Hi Shaks,
I've sent previously PM to Suiller, if he disagree, I will remove it.
for me it's ok... and in the meanwhile I prepared a separate sUC.cab to use for high-personalizations also on uncapable UC roms, I haven't tried at 100%, but it worked perfectly in a couple of roms (for ex. the last I tested was the one made by Dazzza); the cab includes ALL the functions enabled by default on Dia Duit rom series, plus I removed stuff touching the SYS, so it should work on every diamond rom; I added also the auto recognition of "Storage" name... so should work without troubles also on NON WWE roms
attachments:
sUC.cab (is the pre-compiled, ready to run cab)
sUC.zip (is the source)
tweakPers.zip (is an example of personal tweak script, the only one the wont be touched on future upgrades, so put there all your very personal stuff)
MortScript420.cab (guess??)
if the rom is UC compliant simply your sdconfig.txt will look like:
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB :\Internal Storage\MortScript420.cab
CAB :\Internal Storage\sUC.cab
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
in this way at 1st boot will be installed both mortscript & sUC, then at 2nd boot will start standard sUC procedure
if the rom isn't UC compliant simply after rom flash run 1st mortscript cab & then sUC cab, it will ask to restart & automated procedure will start
If you have time, starting from this thread I can pass all the info you need, for example could be useful write a better guide for using this way, I tried but not so able to explain in few words perhaps making some real life examples... anyway good idea... I think a sort of unification must be made (sUC + UC + UC2, or whatever)
bye,
davide
ps: in the nataly rom series even if mortscript is yet installed the full version is required too, so reinstall the mortscript cab also in those roms
ps2: I added also the folder CPY always under "Backup and Restore" master folder, all files putted there will be copied (without overwrite) under \windows folder... for example I use it to install in a fresh rom my personalized icon dll, my background, etc... so after restoring the "Start Menu" the system will find without trouble the needed icon dll
Hi Davide,
Thanks A LOT for all this, there is a lot of work in those attachments ...
I'm not a developer but I can read a script.
This script contains a lot of changes since the one I use.
On the scripts you uploaded there is a lot of customisations and registry tweaks.
I think a lot of people will not want to modify the settings made by their "chef".
So, with your permission, I will try to remove all what is not related to the restore/auto install of cabs, regs and files.
I will also extract the script to create the folders on the internal storage for an initial setup of the solution
I prefer also to have for example pimbackup.exe in the folder "backup and restore" so nothing needed on the /windows folder.
If you agree, I will do those extraction of your code to make things simple:
- no installation (just copy)
- maybe extract the script to create folders architechture
- 1 script to start the restore of what is in the backup and restore folder.
- If users want to customize, they will extract registry keys in .reg files and put them in the /reg folder
This may take time as tomorrow I'm going to Greece for 2 weeks (for work :-s)
for me it's ok... you can make all the changes you feel/need
anyway the tweakPerm is just a base from where take "inspiration" for not skilled users, all personal stuff should go instead into tweakPers script
for example, I suppose, that many don't know how to setup a default ring, or sms sound, or alarms, etc... without a single touch by reading tweakPerm (copied into Back and Restore) they can have an idea
good job friend & have a nice trip
Ok,
Here is the "new" restore script based on the updated file received from Davide.
I removed all that's not related to the restore (many customisations of the rom); this script need no installation (except mortscript if not available in your rom)
What's included:
- # Create Folder structure.mscr
- 1 install MortScript420 if needed.cab
- 2 Start Restore.mscr
- Config.mscr
- config.txt
- PimBackup.exe
How to use:
1) Extract the zip into the root of your storage card
you will have a structure like:
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\CAB
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\CAB\CABi
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\CPY
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\EXE
\internal storage\Backup and Restore\REG
...
2) install mortscript if needed
3) run the script "# Create Folder structure.mscr" if you want the "default" suiller UC structure, but it's not mandatory
4) populate the folders with .cab, .reg and .exe files to match your needs
5) start the script "2 Start Restore.mscr"
6) be patient and note the the CABi script is not perfect (already installed cabs, errors etc... will fail)
Note:
The content of the CPY folder will be copied to the /windows folder.
TO DO:
If someone is able to create a copy routine (with overwrite) who can take in charge a complete structure it will be appreciated a lot.
Example:
(Using a new subfolder Backup and Restore\Files)
\Backup and Restore\Files\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Backup and Restore\Files\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Backup and Restore\Files\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr
Will be copied to:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr

6) be patient and note the the CABi script is not perfect (already installed cabs, errors etc... will fail)
Note:
The content of the CPY folder will be copied to the /windows folder.
TO DO:
If someone is able to create a copy routine (with overwrite) who can take in charge a complete structure it will be appreciated a lot.
Example:
(Using a new subfolder Backup and Restore\Files)
\Backup and Restore\Files\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Backup and Restore\Files\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Backup and Restore\Files\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr
Will be copied to:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tomtom.lnk
\Program Files\Home2\Db.xml
\Internal Storage\Program Files\Opera Mobile\profile\opera6.adr
Enjoy

it's a good idea & above all not so difficult to implement... the overwrite thing depends, of course, if you want overwrite a file flashed inside the rom... in this case, as you know, it's not possible... better on some files could be possible but it's very complex
for the same speech upx compression works only with EXE files installed post the flashing phase, for example it will work with exe files from extra cab installation

Yes, if someone can write this it will be mostly to copy/overwrite installed application with settings or shortcuts.

thanks in advance

Excelent thread - I tested and work correctly. Save a lot of time!
COPY> Maybe it will be easier create simple .bat for windows and 3 phaze will be on pc: copy files from PC to special folders in Diamond. What do you think? It is easy to wrote I think.
REG> Is one thing that not work correctly. I exported registry key from Rasco Explorer. Put this to reg folder but it was not imported to system Do you know why?

COPY ... yes, of course it's possible, but you can also do it easily with mortscript...
And the main goal of this script is to make all install automatic, so everyone can restore his PocketPC if he can copy/paste )
REG In my case it works perfectly, probably because I install resco registry before (via cab)
> REG In my case it works perfectly, probably because I install resco registry before (via cab)
I too but not work. Anyway it is not a lot of addiotional work for me.
And I used v1 your script not v2.

You can try with the V2.0, just rename your backup and restore folder et create a new one with only a .reg file inside.
I just made a second test now and it was flawless (with bsb 6.5L)
Please ask me how can I do backup/restore settings of Today screen Panels/Pages (I use all time Chrome Editor to customize it but it take a lot of time ). Is there key in registry or config file that can I restore after reinstalation? I need fast restore after HR or rom update rom my Today (WM6.5) screen.

Sorry, I do not use Titanium, but you should find easily the keys in the registry
Hi this sounds great. I was always scared of by the normal UC or even SASHIMI. Your version is probably as easy as it gets.
Can I include PIMBackup with this?
The main goal is to restore my contacts/SMS/Call logs and then restore the manila favourite contacts tab. I thought this should be possible by just restoring the registry entries for the contacts tab, is that correct?
Cheers

PIMBackup is included and if put in the folder EXE it will lauch automatically at the end.
The contacts are not stored in the registry, but in db files
