Hi all, can anyone help me with the software name SASHIMI?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
I didn't want to ask in there, because most of my questions are pretty basic and sound dump to others
Anyway, as I understand from the video tutorial (which is still confusing for me), All I have to do is add all the CAB file I want the software to install in the "CAB" folder and all the registries in the REG folder. Then I have to create a filebackup.ini to tell the soft what I've backup.
- My question for this is how do I know which registry to backup and where they are. Let's say I have an APP1.cab to install and that APP1.cab need to be register... where do I find APP1 registration information?
Once the registries are found, all I have to do is to add the CAB in the CAB folder and its registries in the REG folder, right? Then when come to restore, I have to restore each CAB and each Reg or it will do by itself due to my filebackup.ini?
Try posting to benghali's sashimi thread. He's a great help and quick with answering your questions.
Don't feel bad, I was confused too and finally decided not to even install it.
Responding here because OP sent me a PM.
In the future please post in the thread because all questions will be answered and it is ALWAYS better to post in the original thread then to start a new one.
The questions you are asking have actually been asked at least 3 or 4 times already and are in that thread.
In addition, your questions about where to put the .REG file are covered in the documentation.
Because I'm in a good mood, I will quickly answer here.
1) I can't tell you where the registry entries are stored for your program...that is different for each program. Use a registry export and compare before and after.
2) Once you have the .reg file with your entries you can either put it in the \REG folder or you can name it the same as the .CAB and put it with the .CAB file. This is called Tandem/Bundling and is covered more in the documenation.
Please post additional questions in the main thread.
Mods can lock this one.

REG files
Hi All,
I hope nobody shoots me for asking and tells me to do a search. I'm a bit in a hurry right now, so i'm just typing quickly.
How can I create or obtain the REG files for the different applications I install?
Resco Explorer, iSilo, pocket player, pocket artist, SPB Plus, SPB backup, SPB wallet, etc. I want to place the REG files in sashimi so that they automatically get registered and so that I don't have to manually apply the serial numbers. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance, if no one wants to sit here and give step by step instructions i will understand, but atleast a link to the correct thread would be helpfull.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I have no idea how to use sashimi to install and register my applications. Well I do know, I just don't know how to get working REG files. Do I have to create them? or do I get them from some directory. I've seen most of the videos already.
If there is another forum with info, please direct me to the right thread, I tried doing a search and besides this thread I didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, confused you for the OP.

I understand, No Problem. I'll edit my post so no one else has to read the small missunderstanding.
I would still appreciate some help with the REG files. How can I get them or create them so that sashimi can apply the serial numbers after installing my applications?

Ok. I'm new to the tilt and this is the first program i have downloaded onto the phone. I downloaded to my computer, unzipped, copied and pasted to my phone and all I have is the programing (just the O's and arrows). What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for taking the time for a beginner!
can you give details,what you did,what u are using, what u want to accomplish
you prolly copied the contents of a .cab file
cab files are to be copied to the PPC directly and distalled from there
or you might have a corrupt SD (highly unlikely)
I'm all for helping but....

Hey Guys/Girls,
I have been cooking for a while as some of you may know but I haven't done much in the .CAB department yet. So I need some help in how to sign a .CAB file. I looked around and founds lots of info on msdn but I figure some regular english and not "tech" talk might be a little easier. So can some one tell me the steps to sign a cab file? I read I need the WM6 SDK which comes with Signtool.exe but I also read I need the Windows Server 2003 SDK so I am all confused at this point. I know its not that hard just a few "black box" commands correct? Anyway you all get the point of this post any help would be helpfull. The reason I posted in ROM development is simple the CABS are part of the rom I want to start putting all cabs in the config.txt so users can uninstall them if they like to gain some space back. I figure if I compress the .exe in the cabs it should take up less space than a non compressed .exe cooked in the rom.

This is the easiest but different from mine
I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460924
and really dig this theme, but am pretty new and have no Idea how to install it on my phone. can anyone help
i think you will just need to unzip the files in to the windows directory and then soft reset
the manila's too?
some needs to make this a theme or cab

OR you could just copy the files in the windows directory like 80% of the tf3d themes out there. Do you realize what it takes to make a .tsk or a .cab
@kd8dns..i was just trying to make it easier for those who dont know how to copy the files in the windows directory..your right i dont know what it takes to make a cab but i also wasnt asking you to make it..im sure their are some people who dont mind making a cab for it and helping some of these people who dont know how to copy the files..so sorry if i offended you

yes. you have to over write the old manila files
So, I don't know if I did this right. but it sorta worked I just think I'm missing stuff. I placed the glassflo.zip file in a file I made on my data card called theme. then I renamed the glassflo.zip file to glassflo.theme , then I went into touchflo 3d config set the path and installed. seems to be working, but my question now is what do I do with the rest of the manila files that were the second download from the link I posted above. You see, I unzipped them to the windows folder, which I think was a mistake. but I'm not sure. this is where I get lost. I'm sure they do something or why would they be there right. Thanks for any help. I really appreciate those of you with more experience with this stuff, taking the time to help us newbies out. also will this work better in the windows file instead of my sd card?
Rather than opening up a thread, it would've just been better to post in that thread for more exposure.

I have several e-mail accounts configured in Diamond Messaging and I lose a lot of time everytime a change ROM to put again user, password, pop3 and smtp servers, configuration, etc.. in each e-mail account
Is there any way (program, save Register keys, ...) to make a copy of the e-mail configurations and restore them automatically after changing ROM?
I have tested with SPB Backup and PIMBAckup, but it does not save/restore the settings of e-mail accounts.
Thank you very much in advance.
Search for "Makisu". This is what you want.
Makisu
Thank you. I just have download Makisu, but I am not able to find documentation (video , documentation and creenshor links are not valid).
Please, can you explain me what and how does it work or send me any documentation or tell me wher can I find it.
It seems to create xml files with the configuration, How do you import these files to Windows Messaging from Diamond?.
Thank you.
I use Sashimi, which in turn uses Makisu to script these details, after a bit of fiddly setting up works a treat now.
reg files
I have get a lot of information about Sashimi but i think that it is useful if you have reg files for your programms and so you do not have to activate and to configue them everytime.
But I think that it is a little bit difficult to get reg files.
Is it enought to copy HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID Register keys or it is dangerous?
Must I have to copy any other one Register key?
Is ther any information about reg for activation code and configuration for common programs?
Thank you
The Sashimi site has good tutorial on how to use windiff and PHM Regedit to find the changes to the registry.
It's not always the easiest, but it's not too hard.
I would advise not backing up large swathes of the registry and restoring as it may differ between different ROMs.

Using Sashimi
Thank you.
I have learn a lot and now I know, more or less, how to use Makisu ans Sashimi. I think that it is a very useful tool.
I have some doubts:
1.-Programs that i put in exe folder are installed in device or in storage card ? Can i chooose it? How?
2.-How can i use it to copy files to Storage Card? Root folder is only for copy files in Device, is it? I say this because if you have a program installed on storage card and you reinstall it after a hard-reset, this new installation overwrite all your previous files and, perhaps, you want to maintain your configuration in your old ones..
3.-Some times during Auto cab installation a screen with error from Sashimi appears. I think that it is because the cab ask for an user action (license agreement, reset,...), how can I solve this problem?
Thank you
1) - Unsure, anything I install are CABs and in the CAB file.
2) - CAB/SD 'should' install it on the SD card, but I attempt this with S2P and it still installs it on the Device. Most config lives in the Registry and you can import this as well.
3) - Not sure I don't get this error. What CAB is it that fails.
Sashimi
Thank you.
1.-I am going to try to get all programs in cab
2.-I will copy these files directly
3.-I thnik that this problem is cause by the txtLicense string of SASHIMI.mscr that is missing for my language (spanish), i think i have to put txtLicense="licencia" just in spanish "if" section of SASHIMI.mscr (about line 250).
Hi..i've already search for a topic regarding to this, and most of the findings only talks about how to edit it or combine it and such that it will be installed automatically.However, my main question is that how would i make/create a cab file for applications which had been installed into the phone?as there are some application which i had updated it through the phone and it will take some time if i intended to install it back in case i've formatted my phone. So any help would be appreciated and if there's somewhere it had been discussed before please show me the way..thank you
Anyone? Need some help here. Thank you.
It's not completely impossible, but very impractical.
To "cab" (to make it a verb) something, you'd need to know every single file the program uses (sometimes, applications install dll's into the windows folder) and every registry key as well. You'd have to gather all these files and then create a new cab and import them to the proper paths.
I believe SKTools has an option to view what files a program uses.
It's next to impossible for applications that are installed through an installation DLL in the cab - it's hard to track what exactly changes when you install these apps.
Best way to do it though - find the original cab. You could try to combine cabs, but it'd get messy, best use an automatic cab installer then.
Thank you
Thank you for the reply. From ur opinion it is indeed difficult to find the changes made especially with the updates involved. Thank again.
Well it is really simple, just have to know if it has any keys in the registry, what dependencies it has like any dll or other things and then you use visual studio and make a smart device cab ant put in there the files in the folders needed, the shortcut and the key registry you compile the cab and in less then a minute you have a cab
