Auto install of applications, folder making & regcodes.

I am starting this thread as there seem to be a lot of smart people on this forum that have a lot more knowledge about the BlueAngle device than I do and I hope that they will be able to come up with a better solution to my problem.
Problem:
1) Every time I update my device I need to run a lot of setup.exe to reload all of my software.
2) I have to create new folders under "Programs"
3) As I don’t like the default location of the links, I have to move the links into my new folders
4) I have to enter registration codes on a number of applications.
I would like to be able to automat this were possible.
I would like to share with you my solution in the hope that it helps you
and I would like it to be inproved by anybody who has a better understanding of this than me.
I have had to break this up into 3 parts and post then each seperatly.
Part 1:
Auto Install of applications based on a config file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83120#83120
Part 2:
Dos add-on that allows me to make folders, copy and delete links from a batch file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83121#83121
Part 3
Macro to enter the Reg codes of software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83122#83122
I base all of these on an application called "Splashphoto" which is a demo version and can be found on www.handango.com
(the link was to long to copy as it messed up the view)
You can find the files under:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools
I hope I can also add them as downloads.
Comments, sugestions and better ideas are welcome.

Auto Install of applications based on a config file
Problem:
1) Every time I update my device I need to run a lot of setup.exe to reload all of my software.
Now this has got on my nerves and I would like to share the solution that I have found in the hope that somebody SMART can simplify it.
I base this example on the application "Splashphoto" in the combination of the autorun.exe found in the Extended_ROM.
You can modify the concept to your own liking by changing the install location, the number of install files
**Note** the supplied config.txt files is set to turn the touch screen off when you install.
Thus it will ONLY work if your cab file does NOT come up with a message that requires you to confirm it by hand on installation.
Such as "written for older version.." or "Is already installed reinstall?.." You can change that as written below.
Although you are able to install software from your desktop onto any location of your device I have not found a switch for this and am already way out of my depth. I would think that there has to be some command line that that the Cab file reacts to. I hope somebody SMART can Work this part out.
I have added all the needed files to: AutoInstall_Beta.rar and have tried to go into a deep explanation based my own limited understanding.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/Autoinstall_Beta/AutoInstall_Beta.rar
Step 1
You will need to download this file, extract it and copy it to your storage.
This example uses "\Storage\Install"
Step 2
You will need to modify the following key to insure that autorun.exe points to the correct config.txt file.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRunCFG
Old value: \Exteneded_ROM\config.txt
New Value: \Storage\Install\config.txt
Step 3
Run \Storage\Install\Autorun.exe from your device.
This file will run the commands found in Config.txt
In this case
A) disable Touch screen (may be also the phone)
B) install SlashPhoto
C) Enable Touch screen (may be also the phone)
D) Reboot
AutoInstall_Beta.rar has the following files:
1: SplashPhoto.2577.CAB
Extracted cab file from demo version of SplashPhoto found under:
http://www.handango.com/
2: AutoRun.exe
Found on the Extended_Rom.
This file will run the commands found in Config.txt
3: Config.txt
Modified config.txt file with the only entry being SplashPhoto.2577.CAB
4: TPDisable.exe
Application to disable the touch screen (may be Phone function) while installing applications also found on the Extended_Rom
5: TPEnable.exe
Application to Enable the touch screen (may be Phone function) while installing applications also found on the Extended_Rom
6: Ruler.ARM.CAB
This is a freeware application that turns your display into a Ruler.
It has been added as it comes up with a message that you need to confirm.
**Note** if you add this to config.txt you will hang and need to reboot your device.
After reboot you will find the application under start\Ruler and it will work.
**UPdate** By removing the commands TPDisable.exe and TPEnable.exe from the config,txt
you are able to confim the install dialog as the touch remains active.
Understanding of Autorun.exe:
Based on the info I have picked up there seems to be 2 versions of autorun.exe, one uses a config.txt and one not. (this one does)
After a new upgrade of your device autorun is executed to install the software based on the carrier that you have all of whih is found under \Extened_ROM hidden folder.
I took this Idea modified the config.txt and ran autorun in a new folder on my device to find out that it installed all the software in the Exteneded_rom and NOT out of the folder I was in nor with the config file that I had.
This was not what I wanted and did not make me very happy.
So after some playing around with regedit I found
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRunCFG with the value of \Exteneded_ROM\config.txt
This I changed to \Storage\Install\config.txt,
re ran the autorun and it worked thus giving me Proof of concept.
Understanding of Config.txt
EXEC:\Storage\install\TPDisable.exe
CAB: \Storage\install\SplashPhoto.2577.CAB
EXEC:\Storage\install\TPEnable.exe
RST: Reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems that with the command EXEC you can execute a *.exe file such as turning the touch screen on and off
It seems that with the command CAB you can install an application.
It seems that RST reboots the device.
What would be nice is to work out if you can force the application to install in a different location (Storage Card)
Finding your cab files.
Most applications that are installed from your desktop will create a folder and deposit the cab files in it.
If your device is connected it will kick of the setup routine that will ask you for the install location and then execute the cab file.
It is recommended that your install the software this way first to see if you get a message on your device.
If the install falls under the clean versions then you can remove it with the stettings\remove Programs and modify your config.txt
In our SplashPhoto Case the default location is:
"C:\Program Files\SplashData\SplashPhoto for PocketPC\SplashPhoto.2577.CAB"
I have also found cab files under
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Name_of_Application"
Working out which CAB is the correct one.
The file names might be ???.mips.CAB, ???.arm.CAB, ???.sa.CAB, ???.sh3.CAB or ???.Cef.CAB
I am in luck as in our case there is no choice
Which is just as well as I have no Idea what they mean.
Hint: I use ARM as it seems to work and I its my cpu type.
So what is left?
1) Solving the problem of cabs that come up with a message such as Ruler.ARM.CAB
Solved:
TPDisable.exe ----> Seems to disable the touch screen
TPEnable.exe ----> Thus this would enable the touch screen.
So for the Ruler.ARM.CAB that asks gives us the "written for other version" the following will work with out a reset
Config.txt
CAB: \Storage\install\Ruler.ARM.CAB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) finding a switch to set the location of the install to say "\Storage Card"
3) A little cab that turns config location on and off.
Does a regedit of our key with out having to change it by hand.
And has a drop down Browse function to for my "\Storage\Install" folder
Or a better solution than mine!!!!
Next thing I will try to cover is batch copy and del of links
Gee I hope this all was not a waste of your time reading it.
Edit 18/01/04 added Open 1 as solved
Corrected text about what TPDisable.exe, TPEnable.exe (which is turn Touch screnn on/off (may be the Phone funtion)
Updated the section on Ruler.ARM.CAB

Dos add-on to make folders, copy and delete on Device
Problem:
2) I have to create new folders under "Programs"
3) As I don’t like the default location of the links, I have to move the links into my new folders
I base this example on the application "Splashphoto" in the combination of the autorun.exe found in the Extended_ROM
as well as freeware version of RemoteCommand.x86_15_English
I would presume that you have installed the SplashPhoto as discribed in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83120#83120
You can modify the concept to your own liking by changing folder structure of your programs menu,
the number of new folder you would like to make or the number of links you want to move.
I have added all the needed files to: CopyLinks_Beta.rar
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/CopyLinks_Beta/CopyLinks_Beta.rar
I have tried to go into a deep explanation based my own limited understanding.
Step 1
You will need to download this file, extract it and copy it to your desktop.
This example uses "C:\Install"
Step 2
You will need to extract the RemoteCommand.x86_15_English.zip in a location of your choice.
Step 3
You will need to install RemoteCommand.x86_15_English on your desktop
The program is setup.msi and found in the zip file
Step 4
You need to be connected to your device and activesync needs to be running
Step 5
You will need to run the CopyLinks.bat in a dos box
Start menu -> Run -> Cmd ->Enter
In the dos box
C: [Enter]
Cd c:\install [Enter]
CopyLinks.bat [Enter]
The batch file will
1) Create a new folder under your Programs folder of your device called applications
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications
2) Copy the splashphoto.lnk to this folder
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\SplashPhoto.lnk
3) Delete the old Link
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SplashPhoto.lnk
CopyLinks_beta.rar has the following files:
1: RemoteCommand.x86_15_English.zip
Download freeware desktop version of RemoteCommand from
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/remotecommand.shtml
2: CopyLinks.bat
Batch file to create a new folder, copy the link and then delete the original link.
Understanding of RemoteCommand:
The install of remoteCommand gives you a new file called Rcmd.exe which is like a Pocket PC version of dos.
It is not executed on your pocket Pc so don’t even try to look for programs\dos.
It is a command line add-on executed in a dos window that allows you functions like copy, del md
from your desktop onto your Pocket PC or from your Pocket PC to your Pocket PC.
It adds itself in the path statement and thus a batch file can be executed from anywhere.
** Note ** You have to be connected to your device and ActiveSync needs to be running.
Understanding of CopyLinks.bat:
Rem Make a folder under programs
rcmd md "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications"
Rem Copy Links into that folder
rcmd copy "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SplashPhoto.lnk" "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\SplashPhoto.lnk"
Rem Delete the old Link
rcmd del "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SplashPhoto.lnk"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gee I hope I don’t need to go into that.
So what is left?
1) Would be nice if one would check "on error" as the dos screen sort of zips past.
2) Think it would be nice to add a "CopyLinks.bat /Install" and "CopyLinks.bat /Uninstall" option.
As we are moving the links and creating new folders the "remove program" will not pick it up.
This way one could put the links back were they belong before removing the software with "Remove programs"
Or a better solution than mine!!!!
Next think I will try to cover is batch Entering of Registration codes.
As always I hope this all was not a waste of your time reading it

Macro to enter the Reg codes of software
Macro to enter the Reg codes of software.
Problem:
4) I have to enter registration codes on a number of applications.
I base this example on the application "Splashphoto" in the combination with the
demo version of Pocket Controller-Professional by SOTI Inc found on
http://www.handango.com/ (Link was to long to copy)
or
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
I would presume that you have installed the SplashPhoto as discribed in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83120#83120
I would presume that you have copied the link as discribed in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83121#83121
You can modify the concept to your own liking by recording your own macros, cutting them into one file and running them.
I have added all the needed files to: Macro_Beta.rar
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/Macro_Beta/Macro_beta.rar
I have not added the Pocket Controller-Professional due to its size.
Step 1
Download Pocket Controller-Professional
Go to www.handango.com
Browse by Operating System -> Windows Mobile™ Smartphone
in search add -> Pocket Controller-Professional
The rest should be clear
*or*
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
Hit the [try] button
Step 2
Insure phone is connected, activesync is running
install Pocket Controller-Professional on your desktop
Step 3
Run Pocket Controller-Professional and connect to device
File -> connect
you should see you device on your screnn.
Step 4
Download the Macro_Beta.rar
Unpack it to c:\install
Step 5
in Pocket Controller-Professional
in menu Tools -> Macro -> Play [mouse click]
Browse -> choose C:\install\SplashPhoto.cmd [OK]
This will run the macro that:
1) Starts SplashPhot
(Start -> Programs > Aplications > SplashPhoto)
2) In SplashPhoto goes to Preferences and opens the keyboard
(Tools > Preferences > Keyboard)
Not very flash I know
Understanding of Pocket Controller
This is a very useful piece of software that will allow you to use your device on your Desktop.
You can take snap shots or films of your devices display. Great to prove your point with support.
It has a dos box that in this version does not support Batch files.
It has a file explorer of both desktop and device.
And what I need for this Macro recording.
(Personal pick I admit to it )
Soti if you read this post:
Qestion Is there much point in having my device on desktop if I cant even copy a text out of notepad into it?
Macro_beta.rar has the following files:
SplashPhoto.cmd
Understanding SplashPhoto.cmd
This is a text file that records the mouse event on a X/Y postion as well as other actions
That is also its downfall as you links will move as they are sorted in your folder.
Add to this that the start menu might be of a different hight.
The itemes in the start menu might have changed order
SplashPhoto.cmd
MouseEvent 0x0 0x2444 0x800
SleepEx 0xc8
MouseEvent 0x1 0x2444 0x800
SleepEx 0xd48
MouseEvent 0x0 0x3777 0xe0cc
SleepEx 0xc8
...........
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So what is left?
1) Work out if there is a option to input in a text mode
The help is not much help.
My thoughts would be along the line of
Menu "Start"
SleepEx 0xc8
Menu "Programs"
SleepEx 0xc8
.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I will e-mail support.
As always I hope this all was not a waste of your time reading it

Macro to enter the Reg codes of software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83122#83122

I think I would simply use backup intead

i would like to know which .cab files MUST be kept in there....

Well the extrom should have the resco cabs to be able to hack the reg. (or what ever reg application you want to use).
If you don't have that then you cant change the keys to point to the new auto run as well as the new config.txt
As you will be installing of a different location the unlock cab is not needed but would be nice to have.

My smart suggestion
Hi MDAIII user,
Gr8 thing to be posted, but I follow a bit smarter way....
I use SPB Clone to take the Cloning image of all the device and after updating or after say if device got hard reset, I just restore that clone image...it restores all the data including the call history SMS and the installed softs with registration codes....
It also restores the extended ROM if one has unlocked it and the storage data too!!!!!
I hope, this information will be useful for all

Would a clone of a 1.22 Rom which is restored on a device that you just upddated to a 1.40 rom not sort of mess it up??????

Hi Man,
Logically yes, but I hv not encountered yet......

Anyone have idea how to make my qwertz keyboard work in WWE

After I flash the MDA Vario into K-Jam WWE rom, the keyboard qwertz cannot work good. i.e. press Z, then get Y. So anyone have idea can we make the registry edit like MDA Pro, so that the qwertz also work good in WWE Rom?

try this:
4. for the german keyboard on english ROM
4a. get a registry editor (like Resco)
4b. search the Change the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4c. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567

I am looking for this too .. but that key doesnt exist.
I did find:
\\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout
active > 00000409
is this a value tot change ?
anyone knows the german code ?

I am looking for this too .. but that key doesnt exist.
I did find:
\\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout
active > 00000409
I changed it to the settings on the german version
407
no result ...

Yes, I tried the same as you tried, still no use. I guess may be a *.dll or some files for German Keyboard layout is needed.

i think is it the file keybddr.dll in the windows dir, i can not try it
because i had no other version from the dll
regards, Peter

I have still an original German 9100 and see the file also the
compime.dll. They are different from the WWE ROM, but there is no way I can copy these files to try it.
Any idea ? :roll:

rename it on the ppc, then copy the other files ...
bye, Peter

as i remember ,
I can copy the file out after Super CID unlock

How can I find the keybddr.dll in my PPC? I cannot find it!

Finally find out, cannot delete or change or copy the keybddr.dll file, anyone knows how can we replace or change the file?

If you don't want to edit the registry manually try using Registry Wizard. It's available for download in the regular Wizard forum and has an option for keyboard layout.

eklisiarh said:
1. Install the registry editor like Total commander ( http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe ) or Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp ) to your Pocket PC
2. Open the program on your device and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd].
3. Create New String Value (if you already dont have one with the name Locale)
4. Type in Value name: Locale
5. Type in Value Data: 0407 (as i have an german device. NOTE: You've to look in the "LCIDHex" column on this site: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx for fourther area codes)
6. Close the window by clicking on Ok
7. Exit the program
8. hold your powerbutton for a few seconds until you'll be asked if you really want to switch your device off, click on YES
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESET DEVICE WITH STILUS BY PRESSING RESET BUTTON
9. Turn on your device and it should work.

Boot screen is a 'special feature' addition for TuMa v1.4. It was to try and comfort people with a nice boot screen since everyone panics with the colour bars. TuMa v1.4 was also designed to be a 'feature rich' out of the box solution ... but the feedback I've had has been to go the other direction.
Anyways ... if you want to have the bootscreen in ANY other ROM, all you need to do is the following:
You'll find the application and TuMa v1.4 Bootlogo attached in the ZIP.
To make it run at startup, just include the following registry entries, and place the files from the ZIP in /Windows directory.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Depend32"=hex:14,00,1E,00
"Launch32"="BootLogo.exe"
Once you've done that - any of the other CABs I created can then be used, or just replace the BootLogo.bmp file. You will need to ensure that the BMP file is in the SAME format as the example. 8 bpp, and same file size & resolution if you want to change it. That's all that is required.
so short explaination:
1. Make a BootLogo.bmp or use default WM5
2. Copy BootLogo.exe and BootLogo.bmp to \Windows
3. Crete these registry entryes into registry
4. Reboot
how do i do step 3 ... how do i create registry into registry as there r no steps mentioned.. pls advice

Download `total commander` for ppc (google it)
in total commander (TC), go to the top (the root) directory `\` and you should see a `\\`. Double click it and go to `registry`
You should see something like
HKCR
HKCU
HKLM
where HKLM is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
do your guess work from there

1. Launch your resco registry explorer whatever regedit utility u use
2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init
3. Create a new Binary Value with
Value name: Depend32
Value Data: 14 00 1E 00
4. Create a NEW String Value

Pocket Internet Explorer update Trinity-Hermes

Hi, I'm having a HTC Hermes, and since AKU3 and WM6 ROMs the Pocket Internet Explorer have a bug. It doesn't send the User Agent String anymore. This bug causes no access to provider-multimedia-content anymore.
On Trinity-HTC-ROMs the PIE does work, but I have no Trinity.
Can somebody please help and zip or rar the 4 hidden files in Windows Directory on Trinity starting with "ie"..
The files are in ROM-Memory, so you have to unhide and select the files and say Duplicate by tap&hold in Resco Explorer.
Then you get 4 files in Windows-Dir starting with "Copy of IE..."
These files can be copied outside of Windows to a zip and posted here if anybody want to help us Hermes-Owners.

IECEExt.dll
iexplore.exe
iexplore.lnk
I search in my dumped rom and in my ppc windows dir..
Did you whant those file's ???

YES YES, searching for them since weeks!!!

There it is....

Thank you very much.
I replaced the files, but still not working to connect to my Provider.
i tried to change the registry settings, where the User Agent is set, and now i changed the iexplorer.
What else can it be? The Internet Explorer still sending Mozilla/4.0 as User Agent, even if deleting all Mozilla/4.0 Strings!

Thank you very much.
I replaced the files, but still not working to connect to my Provider.

that's a standard header on all User-Agent Strings... I suggest you get the regular one for IE from WM5 and port it across.

Change pop-up dialogue sound? not avail. in sounds & notifications menu

I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.

Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

Does this work with WM6?

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.
