Hello,
When you are using Autoinstall, are all the cabs will be installed on the storage-card or on the builtin-memory ?
Is there a way to configure that ?
Thanks,
autoinstall only installs to device memory, unless your cabs are setup to install to sdcard. i learned this with a quick search, something you could have done as well

Hi,
I need some assistance. I am currently cooking my extended rom. My Extended rom does not have enough space so, i am putting some of my MUST HAVE softwares in my storage so that it installs after a HARD RESET.
But, most .cab files will auto delete upon launch. Is there any way to make
it not delete ? Kindly assist.
Thanx a million
You can avoid the CAB files being deleted by making them read-only.
Well i mean that there is a Registry hack that will not delete .cab's on installation, but you would have to make a .cab with that registry setting and install it as the first thing after hardreset, although i dont think it will work since the registry is already loaded, and the new setting require a reboot to work.
Look in Wiki for registry hacks.
So why dont you just Write protect the .cab's that you want to hold on to

i have tried that but, dont work
All my "wanna hang on to" .cab's are write protected, and non of them get deleted upon installation.
Manuel installation that is.

I have room enoughf in my ExtRom, so I have never auto installed from other than the ExtRom.
But I'm almost 100% sure that there was a topic on auto installing from \Storage (Card) sometime ago.
Maybee youll find some info in the Wiki

Wait a day or two, maybe someone who knows come along.
You can use a software name Cabinst wich let you install a cab without deleting it.
Easy.
Hi,
Easiest way is to make cab read only. Browse the storage card using PC via activesync. Right click on cab file. Go to properties and make it readonly.
You can also change the deafult beahvior of Instal by changing registry key.

in browsing my editor i stumbled upone these :
Code:
[\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
fAskDest=0
fAskOptions=0
fEnablCef=0
nDynamicDelete=2
Supported="PALM PC"
* fAskDest=1 gives you a popup when you install a CAB so you can install on Storage Card for example
* fAskOptions=1 asked before overwriting, haven't found out if/what other options
*fEnableCef : I haven't messed around with that
* nDynamicDelete=0 and the CAB file remains, =1 it disappears but what the difference with the default value 2 is I couldn't figure out.
So if anyone else wants to experiment with it and post their findings
I searched Google but all I could find was about fAskDest

keep the ext rom empty,
after reboot hack the reg to point to new area.
Run the autorun from threre.
Have all files as read only.
info under
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119
Only problem is that all cabs are installed in the default location.
I have yet to get cabinstall to run in batch mode using the nscript tool.
Hope its what you are after
if i find a cab, how exactly do I install it? i do have a registry editor, rescoe. I just got my new AT&T Fuze, and there are some issues, like hte fm radio, etc, and i see where people listed cabs for fixes, but I am a newbie and not sure how to install these.

Hi Pam, .cab or cabinet files are installed from within your device, just click on it and it will ask you where you want the files too be installed (device or storage card). You will find that there are .exe istaller files that can initiate the same process, but you have to be connected to your computer, which most of us don't like. It is an easy and clean way the install files directly in your device. I personally like to keep a lot of cab files in my storage card so that if I delete the cab or flash my device i can reinstall all my favorite applications again, no matter where I am
how i can do this, when the device boot ups from frist time after hard reset... i need some program thats pop up a dialog asking for a folder containing CAB´s, then ask to check waht CAB´s to install then install it ^^, or just some thing like a mass CAB installer with folder search and check list... Regads!!!

or you can check whether the ROM is US compliant, this is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432707 the good example where to start. UC is good as it is much simple but needs UC compliant ROM and CAB cannot be installed to SD cards. Sashimi offers more flexibility but ...
I wonder was the attachment the Mod removed SASHIMI? I've been looking for that CAB all over since Bengliah has apparently been banned.....I found another site http://www.winmo-experts.com and Bengliah is there and talking about SASHIMI but I still can't seem to find that CAB in that forum. :x
While Bengliah thought he got treated unfairly here ( water under the bridge for both sides I had hoped, but apparently not) and does not wish any of his work posted here, he still has a great program in SASHIMI. And is more than happy to share it and support it on his site.
Just join his forum here and share his great work.

ok, i go for TierAutoinstall, but how i do for TierAutoinstall read my storage card?, the problem that i have a spanish ROM on my kaiser and the storage card its called "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento"... so i need set on the config of TierAutoinstall that folder name, regards!
Hello, i'm a complete noob who received the phone 2 days ago. On the day that I picked up the phone, I immediately installed the energy rom 3.0 by following the simple instructions. Almost everything on the energy rom (updated 6/12) was perfect except...
I have a few inquiries before I mess with my fuze (or possibly brick it):
1) How do I add newly downloaded applications (games) from my computer to my phone?
-Do I just drag it and place it anywhere on my HTC drive? (btw, I don't have a storage card yet, should i drag future applications in there?)
ex. I downloaded a game application off some mobility site which had like 12 files... Idk if I am supposed to drag them and drop it off in my HTC flash drive or in a folder.
2) When I add the application/games, how do I access them?
-Are they automatically placed into the game folder in the start menu?
3) How do I add new tweaks to my phone? Specific tweaking applications like some landscape adjustment, or keyboard or theme.
-How do I use those tweaks? If I d/led the landscape tweak, what is the first step that I do?
-Do I also just drag into my HTC flash drive?
4) How can I make JUST the energy rom clock transparent, it covers my today screen picture and it's very annoying.
5) Is there an application to adjust the start menu items with the 4 columns on the energy rom.
6) The phone seems a bit sluggish when I try to unlock it or slide across, is there a way that I can increase the speed?
-installing a micro sd card? somehow fix the internal applications and stuff?
Thank you, and sorry for posting this uber noob thread, I just don't know where to start to look for specific threads to answer these questions.
Welcome to XDA!
The easiest way to install any type of application or software is to find it in .cab format, a cab will install and put all the files where they need to go on its own. All you have to do is sync your phone and drag the cab into your phones memory or better yet an SD card once you get one, then go into file explorer and click the cab, it will ask you where to install it (phone or SD) and presto you are good to go! Some cabs may prompt you to reset phone after install, its best to do so! If you installed Energy 3.0 then I assume you also Hard Spl'ed your phone. Once your phone is Hard Spl'ed you would be hard pressed to "Brick" it with an application and if you mess it up in some way or it stops working right check the Wiki on how to Hard reset and that will wipe it back to the way it was right after a fresh flash! If you have any other questions feel free to PM me and I will help you in any way I can!
thank you very much kind sir, i will figure out which cabs i need to download and then proceed until i have further trouble. thanks a lot for the cab info !
What is the best way to make the installed programs to survive ROM updates and hard resets.
Currently, I try to install as many programs in Storage Card as possible. Then I save \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
After hard reset or ROM change, I just copy \Windows\Start Menu\Programs back. Many programs do start working without reinstall, but some do need re-install.
How do you save yourself from effort of re-install ?
Please don't post general ?'s in ROM section, SASHIMI will auto install all your progs after flash and like you say replacing Windows\Start Menu.
Thankyou.

Stylez, thanks. Nice app.
BTW, I posted Qs here thinking that Qs is related to ROM development, my bad.
Moved you over to kaiser general. Do some searching on Windows Mobile backup applications. There are a couple commercially available.
