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

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......

PLS HELP ME I HAVE READ THROUGH THIS FORUM

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

Re: hey
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Depend32"=hex:14,00,1E,00

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
Value name: Launch32
Value data: BootLogo.exe
5. Save if u need to. exit
6. Reboot

Messaging storage

Is it possible to store sms, mms, emails directly into internal storage instead of main memory?

With emails and attachments you can, but i'm not sure if this is possible with the mms and sms.
For emailstorage onto your internal storage, first create a folder like mail or something else and create a subfolder \mail\attachments.
Then goto the registry with a reg editor or with total commander. Goto key:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings and create the following strings:
PropertyPath and set to \Internal Storage\Mail
AttachPatch and set to \Internal Storage\Mail\Attachments
Then reboot the phone and you're ready to start synching your emails and contacts.

Yup, thanks!
Hope someone can find a way to direct all incomings to internal storage.

Hi !
Try this, it *should* works :
Create registry key in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft"
In the new key ( "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MAPI") :
Create a new string "DbPath" with value "\Stockage interne\SMSMail.vol" (for french) or "\Internal storage\SMSMail.vol" (for English, I think)
The "SMSMail.vol" is an example, you can use what you want !
Create a new string "AttachPath" with value "\Stockage interne\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS" or "\Internal Storage\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS"
Create a new string "PropertyPath" with value "\Stockage interne\MAPI" or "\Internal Storage\MAPI"
Soft Reset
Your SMS/MMS are on the internal storage !
You must change some other value in registry to have the MMS attachement on internal storage too
Look in "HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config"
If you test this, give me your result !

It doesn't show on tf3d anymore

Strange, I make a test for you.
I create this value in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MAPI :
DbPath = \Stockage interne\cemail.vol
AttachPath = \Stockage interne\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS
PropertyPath = \Stockage interne\MAPI
I put the entire content of "\Windows\Messaging" folder in "\Stockage Interne\MAPI"
I make a soft reset and ... tada ! SMS & MMS show in TF3D !
Where is the mistake ?
Seb = = = o>°o

All the older sms doesn't show however newer ones does.

Device Lock still grayed out after following other procedures

Hi!
As I were trying to link up my X1 to my works exchange-server, I was forced to check the "Prompt if device is unused" checkbox. As I was growing more and more irritaded over having to enter the code every time I use the phone, I wanted to get rid of it.
As I was finding posts telling me that this was becaus of the exchange server forcing this checkbox, I deleted the connection to exchange.
But the checkbox is still grayed out. Is there any way without having to hard reset the phone I could fix this?

There is a way to "circumvent" the Exchange policy - albeit temporarily
Similar questions have been asked before, so I managed to locate this solution - in theory, if you're no longer talking to the Exchange server, the undoing of the policy settings should stick (and you'll get your checkbox back)
OK, read THIS post and may all your troubles be little ones....
Hope that helps,
Mark.

There is another one, very similar program which resets the registry key once in a while, so it doesnt bug you anymore.
Stay Unlock 2
If your device doesnt have an english OS, then the prog wont run out of the box, you have to tweak it (the path \Program Files is hardcoded unfortunately). Instructions:
Create the folder "\Program Files"
Go to the program folder on your device (\Programme, \Programmes, \Programmi, ...) and make a copy of the "Zenyee" folder in your newly created "\Program Files" folder
Now go and run the config utility, it will work
What it should look like:
Code:
\
\Application Data
\Documents and Settings
\My Documents
\Programme
\Zenyee (<- original folder)
\Program Files
\Zenyee (<- copied folder, duplicate)
\Windows
etc etc

[Q] Registry hive not saving changes

Hi i'm trying to change one key in particular for a build of Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Build 23569
I'm having trouble editing the default.hv registry hive. Basically i'm looking to implement registry changes prior to cooking the rom.
My process has been;
Copy default.hv (from SYS/metadata) to rgu-hv tool directory
Convert file to rgu
rename to .txt
add REGEDIT4
Make the following change;
GLYPHCACHE size to 16384
Save to .RGU, unicode.
Convert back to default.hv, At this point i've checked with HV editor that the entry has been changed correctly.
Reinserted into sys/metadata.
Flashed, And the registry entry is back to 8192.
What am i doing wrong? Is this the wrong default.hv or .rgu file to edit or is this key uneditable?
Thanks

[SOLVED]
Found out why it isn't saving, There is a duplicate entry in the following location, perhaps overwriting the original, Or maybe these are a prior extraction of default.hv.
In my case the location was 0409\Base_Lang_0409
and the file - 813fd1d1-ca6f-4b6d-96d2-c97fb99bd535.rgu
Once changed in this rgu. the change sticks and can be viewed by CeRegEditor.
Stoked
