Is there such thing available that would install a selection of cabs at the "click of a button".
Over my time here, I have managed to build a list of favourite applications, however whenever I reflash a new ROM on my device, I have to manually install these applications one by one.
I was wondering if there is some type of auto installer that would auto install a list of 'given' cab files by itself? (perhaps reading the list from an xml or a txt file), and if it required no user interaction, that'd be even better (well maybe it could ask one question, just once... "Install to Device or Storage Card?"

yeah.. i would like to hav sthg like tat too...
it is very frustrating to install all the programmes after flashing different ROM...
if someone can make sthg like tat will b nice..
Yes there is! Try out Sashimi, you'll have to google for it, don't have it with me. It will install any CAB you throw at it plus it can also run xml files to configure things like email accounts, power settings, etc, etc. After flashing a new rom it takes me all of about 3 minutes to have everything I want installed and all my setting changed to how I want them.

which version is that? only on their site it says that the HD will be supported in V8 but they only seem to be at V7.9
Scrap that V8 is out http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4
I'll have to check that out. I was using 7.9. It aways gave an error about unsupported screen size but still worked fine!
Not sure why but the guy who developed it was banned from xda-dev I believe!
Any chance you can post the app here? Really can't be arsed to register on another site!!!
Cheers
Don't worry, just realised I'm already registered!
Hey, this is a nice app! I'll have to get that, seems great for fast setting up everything after flashing.
to everyone who uses sashimi:
im very interested in your regkeys you backup! maybe you can post your regexport.ini here so we all can see and use the useful regkeys for different programs and settings!
thanks!

for that reason i have written my own "autorun" script which does the following:
install cabs
import provisioning files
import registry files
copy files
and could do lots of more...
this is how it works:
copy the script into a folder of your sd card, e.g. \Install. now copy
all cabs into \Install\Cab
all provisioning files into \Install\Xml
all registry files into \Install\Reg
all other files into \Install\Files
the script checks for files in a specific folder and executes the tasks required.
the script requires that mort script is installed. alternatively copy the mort script files (mortscript.exe, mortscript.dll, autorun.exe) into \Install so that you can immediately start with the autorun script after flashing or a hard reset (attention: in this case the name of autorun.mscr and autorun.exe have to be the same - do not rename the script file) . the script also needs a prog "taskmanager.exe" which is only required for importing xml and registry files. it does not do anything else (unless you intentionally run it)
mortscript is available here
task manager is available here
anyway, i have put together all files required in the zip file attached
here is AutoRun.mscr:
Code:
scriptpath = SystemPath("ScriptPath")
Call("InstallCabs")
Call("CopyFiles")
Call("ImportXML")
Call("ImportReg")
Message("Done. Press OK to Reset...", "AutoInstall")
Reset
Exit
Sub InstallCabs
ForEach file In Files(scriptpath \ "Cabs\*.*")
RunWait("\Windows\wceload.exe", """" & file & """ /nodelete /silent")
EndForEach
EndSub
Sub CopyFiles
XCopy(scriptpath \ "Files\*", "\", TRUE, TRUE)
EndSub
Sub ImportXML
ForEach file In Files(scriptpath \ "Xml\*.*")
RunWait(scriptpath \ "TaskMgr.exe", "/provxml " & file)
EndForEach
EndSub
Sub ImportReg
ForEach file In Files(scriptpath \ "Reg\*.*")
RunWait(scriptpath \ "TaskMgr.exe", file)
EndForEach
EndSub
but why dont you just use sashimi? it does the same plus some more things (email settings, wireless passwords,..)
Another vote for sashimi, my only dislike is the interface its shockingly bad. The window disappears for every menu option you go to!
output is version 8, the bug has been fixed, or you can use the modified version 7.9 for HD.
As you know how to save the settings for various programs to be able to restore automatically with sashimi?
you can automatically record programs that require activation key, how?
Most things can be done with the regexport.ini file in the program/ini folder.
You can define which registrykeys should be backed up. Most programs store there configuration and serial keys in the registry. So you just have to search for the right entry.
Here is my regexport.ini
Code:
[MySettings]
RegExportDirMode=Auto
key1=HKCU\Software\ageye\
key2=HKCU\Software\Conduits\

Thanks for your reply, I just solved a file.reg
Question
is possible to automatically with SAHIMI select the language for installation
resco explorer (multilingual) select /italiano / ok
resco audio explorer (multilingual) select /italiano / ok
is possible to automatically with SAHIMI select the answer is no when asked to reset to complete the installation of
SPB Wireles monitor select /no
SPB Phone Suite select /no
perhaps with a Mortscript running in tandem, I unfortunately do not have capable people who give me a hand?
Thanks for your reply, sorry my bad English
You can do that with the so called auto files.
it is explained in the manual of sashimi.
i have never tried it but it should work like you want.

If you are using a UC capable rom (like miri 6.5) you can make a "SDconfig.txt" and it will install whatever cabs you want as part of the first install process at the windows installing screen.

Hello.
I am trying to install an app in rom, so I am executing the .CAB and I am reading the registry modifications to modify "default.reg", but It would be better to find a file with the initial registry (default.reg) plus the modifications after an installation to download it to the PC with Active Sync, so it would be easier to analize it.
Any idea?
Thanks.
if you know what those reg changes you want is you can always write your own reg file
load it to the xda and run it
the syntax of a reg file is most likely the same as on a pc
if you run regedit on a pc and export a key you can see the syntax of reg files
I have made s script which installs all files in my Install-Directory of my SD-Card. The script is based on nscriptm and invoked automatically after HardReset.
It installs silently all CAB-Files, Reg-Settings in REG-Files, a TSK-File.
It copys all wanted files automatically from the SD-Card to the PocketPC (e.g. for the Windows-Folder, etc).
It deletes wanted files from the Pocketpc.
It copies Shortcuts.
So a complete new Install lasts only a few minutes. Great for testing.
Now I am searching an unzip/unrar/uncompress/... - Tool which can be invoked from the command-line with additional parameters to uncompress all Install-Files on the SD-Card.
Anyone knows ?
Sounds like an excellent idea. Can you share your script? Sorry I do not know of a zip utility. All installs on cab files are already compressed though.
Doed Pocket WinRar will do the job?
I also would love to try it...
Very good idea
This sounds like a great idea.
No, Winrar is only with GUI. No Commandline. Have searched for days.
CAB-Files are not Compressed I think. Only the EXE-Files containig the CAB-Files for Install on PC are compressed.
Please HELP !
I have made an extended ROM which runs my script now automatically.
If you want it send me PM.
I have also been searching the net for a compresion tool that runs from the command line, but with no luck.

Could you please also post me a copy of your ROM / Script ?
Many Thanks,

Has anyone heard from axbl? While waiting in vain, I decided to give this a shot and see how far I go along scripting my installs. I find the nscriptm tool to be very capable but still I am stuck in a few areas which axbl seems to have excelled based on the initial post.
How can one trigger a cab file install and make it a silent install? I am using the Shellwait("") command to trigger the cab file installs one after the other but those that require input are causing an issue.
Next I have tried automating the response to those user input prompts (i.e YES / NO etc) but I am having trouble catching the window handle of the prompts and then using the Sendkey command.
Thanks in advance for all the help. Regards
I use the software call Autoconfig.exe which is included in O2 Asia ROM.
The Autoconfig.exe will read Autoconfig.txt file and execute according to the command line in the file.
The command line is exactly the same as Config.txt
[.......] <---- Section to be selected
CPY1: <---- copy from
CPY2: <---- copy to
EXEC: <---- Execute Program
CAB: <---- Install .cab file
RST: Reset <---- Soft Reset
I can do what I need about 80%. I say 80% is because after this process ended. I still need to put in name/pasword to all of those s/w or else it will still be trial version.
no more?
so any update in this topic??
....pls

hi, if you create an xml file or a cab (need winCE cab manager) you can add all the registry details you need to register your program...but you have to search your registry to find those details.
Yes, I can do it while ago.
The post I did was a year ago. At that time, I didn't know how to do it.
Thanks anyway.

thx in advance

You don't have to ask that guy. He'd never come back.
It's not that difficult to do. You need to know how to build CAB file by using WinCE CAB Manager. Then, put those REG, TSK, EXE, File, etc. into your built CAB file. By using (Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt) or (Autorun and ExtROM via \2577 folder), You can install any CAB files into the system after Hard Reset.
ok
could you pls post the files to do it?
(Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt)
if possible?
Hi.
I made a quick and crude patch to the TilewavePanel.dll file to cruedly but effectively correct the Daylight savings problem that I and lots of others were having.
----------
To use this...
1. Download THIS - TilewavePanel.dll which is 920KB in size... or use the 355KB ZIP file attached to this post.
2. Copy the new TilewavePanel.dll file to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel. Replacing the original.
-----> You may need to rename the old file first as it is "in use" but it still lets you rename it.
-----> If you are using the basic File Explorer built in to Windows Mobile then you may need to go to the Menu and check Show all Files before the dll files become visible.
3. Go to the Registry using Resco or PHM... Navigate to, HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\TilewavePanel\City\0, edit the DaylightSaving key and change it to 0.
3. Do a soft reset.
-----> If the time is still 1 hour fast, then go back to the registry and check that the DaylightSaving key is still set to 0.
----------
What this does is... Whenever the Tilewave Panel weather gets updated, instead of overwriting the DaylightSaving key in the registry it writes to a different key DaylighSavinX. But the Daylight Savings time is still read from the original key. So you can change it to 0 without it being overwritten.
Hope this is useful!
Wow, another potential person in XDA
thanks!!
after installing patched DLL panel manager hangs...
panel is not workin after copy .dll file bro
what happen??
Excellent, thanks allot for your updated dll file. It solved my problem with the wrong time and can now have the weather updated automatically
It freezes after a reset?
The patch is tested will all jerpelea's first 5 test ROM.

EDIT: Just tested as working on Jerpelea's 6th test ROM too.

i like the way you thinking, making the weather update false string and system still reading the original key XD
thanks!!
Now it works with the same time as on wm 6.5 thanks alot!!!
Works just fine. Cheers mate.
Very good work, mate.
Just like everything in coding, very simple fix. If I knew how to amend .dll files, I would have tried to make it not write to a key at all, and completely remove that line of code.
Thanks for this, makes the panel so much better!
Does not work for me :-(
Yeeeeeeeeees!!!! It works!!! Thank youuuuu!!!

Sounds like you are not actually replacing the original dll file correctly. As the patch works just fine.
Go to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel.
Make sure Show all Files is checked on the menu. Then rename the TilewavePanel file that is 918K in size to "Old" or "Backup" or something like that.
Then Copy the patched TilewavePanel file from your Storage Card or using ActiveSync to My Device\Program Files\Panels\TilewavePanel.
Soft-Reset the device.
Go to the Registry and Set DaylightSaving to 0.
-------
You can confirm if the patch is installed by... First updating the weather on the Tilewave. Then, going to HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\TilewavePanel\City\0 in the registry. There should be a new DWord value called "DaylightSavinX". If that key isn't there, it is not installed.

I'm sorry but my ignorance is frustrating me.
First download link is bad. Zip file can't be downloaded to device with IE because it opens straight to Total Commander and won't extract.
Opera 10 Beta keeps hanging up and I can't get it that way either.
Downloaded to PC, extracted dll and emailed it to my account.
Accessed with device and followed instructions. Still not working for me.
Extracted dll is 918.7kb just as original.
Can you possibly enlighten me?
After Hardrest my device it works - only the Mail-Button has no functionality right now.
very very good. thanks, now the panel is useful
Thank you. I love you, mon.
Simply changing the daylight saving time from 1 to 0 or vise versa wortked for me - did not need to change dll.

Hi all,
in the Windows directory you got the directorys RSK und LSK. This is the abbreviation for RightSoftKey and LeftSoftKey.
In these directories one find a link to the software which is supposed to start if one presses the left or right softkey.
Somehow my links are broken so I tried to fix them. For example: the left softkey is supposed to start the calendar.
So, this isnt working: couldnt find the directory states the errormessage.
So I look into the Windows directory, found the calendar.lnk and copied it to the directory LSK.
Not working. If I look at the properties of the link in LSK, I see that the file has changed !
Just by copying ...
The properties doesnt contain the necessary information for starting the calendar any longer: shortcut: pooutlook.exe calendar.
Again , these informations get lost just by copying the file into the LSK directory. Editing the link to enter these information isnt possible.
How can I fix this - any idea pleaase ?
regards
Thomas

Hello xda-developers
I'm not really sure if it's already mentioned here on the forums, but today I found out that provxml-files which where written as .rgu and translated by "rgu-2-xml" don't work for Windows Phone 7. The output file is saved as ANSI file. After updating to Mango I tried a "Developer Unlock.xml" file but it didn't work. Well, all the procedure back and again but now with a UNICODE file After right-clicking the (ANSI) xml-file, "edit" and re-saving it as UNICODE file I noticed that the size of the file increased I tried the provxml-Method again and it worked! Not sure if I'm the only one with this solution and like I already said: not sure if it's already said here Please let me know if it helped you
you unlock your device on Mango build?

The provxml method works on Mango as well.
Yes, I unlocked Mango But for me there are still some unanswered questions about provxml =/ Does a provxml file only work once on Omnia 7?

Ηow you will run provxml on omnia ...
I was under the impression that provxm works only with htc connection setup ...
And yes after the appl (connection setup) finish the 1rst run its deleting the provxml file.
You can also use it on Samsung devices Here is the thread where I found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422
Yes, with Connection Setup on HTC it will be deleted - but what about the GPRS Manager used for Samsung devices? After executing a command (xml-file) in the GPRS Manager, it's still there ^^ Even if I restart the app or the whole phone -> After opening the GPRS Manager again, all the entries seem to stay there
EDIT: Okay, tested it again and it seems like you can apply the xml's as often as you want with GPRS Manager I flashed a older ROM so my phone was on 7004 again I unlocked using ChevronWP7 and installed WP7 root tools. I created a file which switches the Internet Explorer's search provider to Google Well, after execution I first opened IE9, pressed search and yup.. google.com came up - then, just to be sure I opened WP7 root tools and took a look at the SearchScopes in registry. They were changed to Google, so the xml really worked. Then I manually wrote everything back to default. I opened the Internet Explorer, pressed the search button and Bing came up.. so everything's like before. I applied the "Google Search.xml" again and.. yes, it worked: Same effect like above: Registry was changed, IE9 search is now google.com
Well so at the end I can say that this is really useful for switches like in my example. I created several switches like "Enable instant resuming.xml", "Disable instant resuming.xml", "Enable lockscreen never option.xml", "Use Bing (default) search.xml", "Use Google search.xml", ... Wow, Mango with fast resuming apps is wonderful!
experience7
All of my rgu's that I've converted using xboxmods tool rgu2xml have worked just fine on my hd7.
It does kinda suck that HTC connection setup deletes the provxml everytime
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Hm.. yes, maybe on HTC (with HTC connection setup) it's enough to convert them. On my Omnia 7 i had to open the provxml files, and resave them as UNICODE ".xml" files It's nice that GPRS Manager on Samsung devices doesn't delete the .xml files
Thank you for this! I was wondering why Connection Setup-applied ProvXML wasn't working. This will hopefully do it.
I've come up with a way to chain provxml files. I don't yet know if it works - it depends on how the deletion after processing the CustClear file is implemented - but it has the potential to allow you to store a "working copy" ProvXML file in My Documents as a txt file (which you can open and edit with Word), and then every time you use Connection Setup, it copies your "working copy" file to \Windows, renaming it as it does. This should make further modifications easier; just copy the XML from a website or app, paste it into Word, and run Connection Setup twice (once to copy your edited file, once to process it).
If it works, I'll post the file.
OK, I couldn't get the chaining to work. It's still in the file, just commented out, in case anybody else wants to experiment.
Oh, and I added some very convenient (if you deal with things like I do all day) registry tweaks. Open .LOG files as though they were .txt (great for attachments) and add an expansion for the , key similar to the one that the . key has.
THis really help me, That's the reason why my unlock.xml didn't worked in 7712 back then. I thought it was the 7712.

I'm trying to keep my HD7 unlock after updating to 7712 but the many times I tried, the Connection Setup will not run after 7712 update. If you can share the file and method with steps you used, that would be appreciated.
I don't know why your HTC connection setup didn't start after the update But maybe you did something wrong.. Okay, let's go through the steps together
Well, for Samsung devices you need a .xml file (GPRS connection manager handles with .xml files).
And on your HD7 you need an .provxml file (HTC connection setup handles with .provxml files).
Okay, first step is to be developer unlocked on NoDo - I think you are, right? [If you want to test it: Just try to sideload an app. If it works your phone is unlocked.. else it's not.]
Now uninstall HTC connection setup and install it again. Do not sideload any app found in the internet - just install the official app from the marketplace.
The next step is to get the right .provxml file. You don't need to do the following steps: I've already attached one which works. But just that you can follow me: Basically the file has to apply the following changes:
1) Developer unlock
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LVMod]
"DeveloperUnlockState"=dword:1
2) Prevent from relock
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
3) Maximum sideloaded apps
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
And to create a this file we need to open Notepad:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LVMod]
"DeveloperUnlockState"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
Simply save this file as a .rgu file.
Then you need the tool "rgu-2-xml.exe" which converts the .rgu to a .provxml file. I've also attached this tool.
Okay, the generated file has now to be in the "Windows" directory of your phone. You can use the "WP7 mass storage" trick to get the file to your device - just search here on xda-developers. After you've copied the file to your device it will be stored in "\My Documents\Zune\Content\0400\...". Now you need a file explorer for HD7. I'm not sure if you're already using a tool but TouchXplorer should do the job. Open your tool on the phone and navigate to the folder above. There should be several folders.. just browse through them and look for a file which has got a short name and another file ending as our file (CustClear.provxml). Check the file size - it has to be the same on PC and your phone. If it's the same file rename it to "CustClear.provxml" again. Then move the file to the "Windows" folder on your HD7. The file has got the right name and is on the right place.. let's go on:
Now don't start the HTC connection setup!
Be sure to update to the highest build available at the moment. It's Mango v7720. There are tutorials here on xda-developers.com on how to update to v7720 Run HTC connection setup only if you can see that your phone is running v7720. You can see this under settings > about > more information.
Then you should be developer unlocked and sideloading apps should work again.
If anyone finds a mistake in those instructions please tell me! Thanks
And please tell me if it worked
Thanks for this but I don't need it now as as I had solved my problem.
After 7403 update, I uninstalled Connection Setup and re-installed again.
Nonetheless, I will PDF your instructions and download the 3 files to try out and learn this. Thank you very much for providing the detailed instructions. I'm sure it might be useful for some others.

Is it possible to enable a custom notification sound via a reg edit in the omnia 7 running 7720 chevron unlocked? Maybe someone can make a prov file and instructions...
Well, maybe it's possible but I'm not really sure what you mean But I'm aware of provxml's capabilities, how to build them and how to set up the phone, so maybe I can help you
Thanks... I read somewhere that with a registry key we can change the path of the notification sound... This way we dont need to overwrite the original .wav... I believe this might be the only way to do it in mango since homebrew is blocked...
Need to check the registry key thread for this one, since i dont really know much about this...
Dehydration Hack
I have used this method to unlock and remove the side load limit on my HD7 and it works great. I am unsure how to create a file to turn the dehydration hack on and then off again after I have updated all the way to 7720. I used the HTC Connection setup once I fully updated, I have touch explorer I just have no clue what to do for the dehydration can anybody help me?
On HTC devices you can't create a simple switch to enable / disable the dehydration hack because once you've ran the HTC connection setup the provxml files will be deleted. But if you don't want to switch that often between on / off you can use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971
You'll have to create two .rgu files:
First one contains this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\TaskHost]
"DehydrateOnPause"=dword:0
Second one contains this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\TaskHost]
"DehydrateOnPause"=dword:3
Then you have to convert them to .provxml files. Put the first one in a folder called "Enable dehydration hack" and the second one into a folder called "Disable dehydration hack". This way you can't mess it up
Then use the tool mentioned above to deploy the .provxml which contains the setting you want to have on your phone - then finally run the HTC connection setup
For example you've enabled the dehydration: To disable it again you have to put the CustClear.provxml from "Disable dehydration hack" into the XAP file from xboxmod and deploy this XAP to your device. Then run HTC connection setup again and the changes will be applied - Dehydration hack will be turned off
Please tell me if it worked for you / helped you,
