EDIT: I found a couple answers. First, your fav contacts are automatically restored with Manila 2.5 when you sync with Outlook. Another, option with more functionality is to use this program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543605

Lol, I was just about to post the same link for you!

Random question, what is Sashimi? I don't see where it explains what exactly it does

Here is a good thread on sashimi. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=75214 There are some Youtube videos you can watch too.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I have used some ROMS where Sashimi automatically starts after flashing and often times people refer to the first post of this thread. I have read it over and over and there is a reference to an sdconfig.txt "below" that i cannot find. I downloaded the SDconfig.rar that was attached hoping that it might be packed in there but its not. Anyone?

EDIT: i found the original post by DV8ways on page 6.

Resco Settings Found.

I simply asked at the Resco site.

only settings you need are

Code:

 HKLM\Software\Resco\Explorer 

HKLM\Software\Resco\Shell

HKLM\Software\Resco\Registry

These store everything.

....wish me luck. :)

EDIT: Took fifteen minutes from flash to finish...awesome. ...and I think I can control the order that my cabs are installed by changing the name of the files...seems like they install in alpha order. Really dig this program, can't believe I took so long to set it up.

I know this post is really old . . . but just got around to configuring Sashimi. To set up MMS, your guide says to install the "Remove Picture Mail & Arcsoft.cab" soft reset, then install "JD Arcsoft 5.2.1.22.cab", then reset. Will Sashimi install these in this order with the soft resets, or do I need to do this manually? Thanks!!

I'm in the process of learning Sashimi too and asked this very same question via pm to another user and they told me to just run the remove picmail cab in your auto directory and let it do it's thing when it's done and the phone soft resets it's self then go ahead and install your arcsoft cab and sr again, that's the only way it works I guess.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

if the removal.cab it's self triggers a reboot you should be ok. otherwise you could add a reboot script the same name as the cab.

sashimi will install in alphanumeric order, so I alwasy put a few "Aa" "Ab" before the cabs I want first.
sashimi should also auto restart itself after reboot until it's done.

there are a few gotcha's with this, so make sure you pay attention when you test.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I don't know how to make cabs, but you can easy use mortscript to reset the device. The command is simple enough: reset

so you could just make a text file called reset.mscr and in the file have 'reset' as the only text.

I am assuming you have mortscript installed on your phone.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I finally got around to updating my script to download email. I got the original idea from here

I have 3 accounts, so I copied the script 3 times. Note that you must replace the "PDa name..." with your account names. I use the script during my autoinstall, and I also periodically use it just to check the email (I have a shortcut in the start menu). Please note that it is run on a touch pro, so it is designed for that screen resolution.

Run( "\windows\tmail.exe")
Sleep(1000)
eMailAccount1 = "PDA name of 1st email account"
eMailAccount2 = "PDA name of 2nd email account"
eMailAccount3 = "PDA name of 3rd email account"
Sleep(1000)

#sync the first email account
Run( "\windows\tmail.exe", "-Service """ & eMailAccount1 & """ -Sync" )
Sleep(3000)

#"testvalue" lists the text in the bottom left corner of screen
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)

#"items" takes the last 6 letters of testvalue.
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)

#At the end of a send/receive, the text either tells you the number of unread items or it tells you the number of items total. It doesn't have that text while it is downloading. So when it has one or the other, the script knows to proceed.
While ((items ne "nread.") AND (items ne "Items."))
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)
Sleep(1000)
endwhile
Sleep(1000)

Run( "\windows\tmail.exe", "-Service """ & eMailAccount2 & """ -Sync" )
Sleep(3000)
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)
