Anyone know the google maps reg for latitude & favorites? Also, the rss reader settings and sites?

Also, the program tab for the home screen of manilla 2.5?

Thanks!

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

opera is saved in the program files folder. I believe it's the program files\Opera mobile 10\profile\datastorage folder. I just backup the entire opera folder with pim backup using my daily backups.

I also backup my Program files\googlemaps folder, which takes care of google.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Anyone been successful in backing up Manila favorite contacts in Manila 2.5? I tried backing up pim.vol directly, and using the PIM backup utility in Sashimi - both of which were unsuccessful.

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

I have with ActiveSync. I think it uses Outlook to categorize them as "Favorites" and every time I reflash a new ROM, they all appear fine.

Sashimi is a tool that allows you to automatically restore email settings, wireless network settings, install software, and restore reg settings. When setup properly you can basically restore all settings and software on your phone after re-flashing.

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?

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.

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!!

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.

Quote:

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)

While ((items ne "nread.") AND (items ne "Items."))
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)
Sleep(1000)
endwhile
Sleep(3000)

Run( "\windows\tmail.exe", "-Service """ & eMailAccount3 & """ -Sync" )
Sleep(3000)
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)

While ((items ne "nread.") AND (items ne "Items."))
testvalue = Windowtext(49,557)
items=SubStr(testvalue,-6)
Sleep(1000)
endwhile
Sleep(1000)
SleepMessage(3,"end of script",Mortscript,1)
exit

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Why not just install all the cabs and then reset at the end? Sashimi does that anyway.

Although what you could do is use mortscript and the startup folder. Write a script that installs first cab, puts a second script into startup items, and then removes itself from startup items. The second script installs second cab, puts next script there, and removes itself...

Off hand, I am not sure how to tell the script that the cab is completed. If you know how long it takes for the cabs to install, then you can use the sleep command to wait for the installation.

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I agree. Sashimi is designed for one long installation without restarts.

However, now that I think about it, it does have a feature that picks up the installation where it left off. But that requires user interaction to resume I think.

What are you trying to install that requires reboots after every cab? I think I read something like this for manilla. Have you tried just installing all the cabs and then resetting? It's worth a try I think.

12-16-2009 01:55 PM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

most anything that asks you for a reset does this because it has either added something to the registry, or added a file into the windows folder

most cases.

for example, i have a program that after you install the cab it asks you to reset. it does this merely because it copies one file into the windows folder.

but a reset is not required for my program to work. the phone simply tells you its needed.

when i run sashimi i have about 8 things that say need to reboot, i say no.

but of course when sashimi is complete i do a reset so all registry entries are properly read.

on a side note.

i have made a program to help simplify some backup items for sashimi

Thanks! What does it do for restoring Garmin? Currently, I don't even have Garmin in Sashimi. After I flash and get everything installed, I take out my SD card and re-insert it. When I do this, it asks if I want to intall Garmin . . . that's it. All my settings from previous installs are still intact. But maybe I'm missing something . . . I haven't used Garmin a lot since flashing, other then to check that the GPS was working and it found the maps . . . but maybe something is missing.

nhvoltagenh

12-16-2009 06:06 PM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

ok, in garmin you never have to reinstall it again.

let me explain.

the folder 2577 can be deleted.
all it does is auto run garmin when your sd card is installed.

however, on your sd card..
under Storage Card\Garmin\Apps\WM\
is a file called QuePPC.exe

now when you run this file on a new phone or after a hard reset, it will make a Garmin folder on your Main Memory and add the program there.
and in this folder is all your settings, waypoints, map zooms etc etc....

however, if this folder already exists, it will simply run the program.

So i have my shortcuts set to run that file.

Now what my program does is backs up all your waypoints, recent places, and settings.

So that after a hard reset or flash, you can immediatly use garmin and go to your stored locations.

I did this because i was about 4 hours away from my home.
and for some reason my phone froze up.

So i had to pull to the side, do a hard reset.

then run garmin, and re set it all up.. Audio Prompts, Map zooms, voices, all the BS it asks for

but now if this happens again i could simply hard reset, and run sashimi, or if in a real hurry run SkinZone.org Backup and restore my garmin and i dont have to mess with anything.

as well, i have about 200 waypoints stored in this.

Now i do have it backed up on my PC with Map Source,
but as well its backed up on my SD card.

Very cool! Thanks for the explanation. I was just about to ask if you have a version for just Garmin as that's all I really need, but then read a bit further on your thread over at XDA and see that you have included an option to choose what to backup. Nice.

One quick question . . . keep in mind I'm still a bit of a nooB at this, but how to I tell if the ROM I'm using includes Mortscript already? I understand we have to have that installed for this to work? If so, did you just set up Sashimi to install that first somehow?

EDIT: Ok, I read about needing Mortscript in your "This was my inspiration section" of your first post . . . maybe that's not applicable with what you've developed?

12-17-2009 01:23 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

u have to have some version of mortscript installed.

all mortscript does is allow programs like mine to run.

simply grab it, and install it.

no other settings are needed with mortscript.

sashimi also uses mortscript, however i cant confirm it installs it for use on the phone, or simply runs it for its purposes only.

http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...=view&entry=65
Mortscript. It doesnt matter the version, as my program will check to ensure its correct and if its not it will install the correct.
its free and is a tiny app.

but again all you do with it is install it. nothing more.

then install my program.

12-19-2009 01:53 AM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

please have a good look at the manual. particularly the page with the order of install.

also the last time I had a cab in there that forced a reboot, I think it ended up in a loop going back and installing the last cab, due to it never getting a chance to report back to sashimi it was done. although this may have been fixed in the last version..

the only cabs I set to run first are net cf 2 & 3.5 (yes I do both, cuz I never know what a rom will have in it and I need both versions for all my apps.)(also it's never caused a problem installing over the rom version.)

first time user of this program it seems like it could be very helpful once i learn how to use it better... i flash a lot of roms recently.

so i installed sashimi on the storage card... placed some .cabs into the auto folder that i need to install after a hard reset/flash...

and then i hard reset... and now i am lost is sashimi supposed to auto install these cabs? or do i have to re install sashimi now and run "auto" ?

SASHIMI has got me spoiled and i am trying to learn mortscript to find a quicker way if not automate the entire process of restoring phone after the flashdance. Here are a couple of scripts to automate backup and restore of PPCPIMBackup which is my preferred app to saving PIM data, text messages and stuff.

The back up script "usepimbackup.mscr" can be saved anywhere you like on the storage card. The script will create a folder called BACKUPs in My Documents directory of storage card. Run it first and if you like, you can create a lnk in sashimi to have it show up in the start menu after a flash.

The "restorepim.mscr" written by studentjunk, should be saved in sashimi\auto\scripts folder. This will automatically run PPCPIMBackup to restore your most recent backup during sashimi auto install.

This has been tested on my phone at least a dozen times. Hope it helps!!

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

Have you guys started using the .auto function? Basically, it allows you to send a key press or similar when certain programs ask for user input before installing, but you have to know the window name that is asking for the input.

Anyway, I use SBP Walletv2 and it asks for a language selection input. Anyone have an auto file for that?

studentjunk

01-01-2010 06:04 PM

Re: User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

I don't use SBP, but I do use auto files for both google maps and bing. You can just install the program and the window title will be shown when the installation asks for whatever input it requires. In your case, the language file.
