With the programs I install, I found I needed a LOT more trial and error with UC to finally get it right, and it needed more of my attention when all was said and done.

Also, Sashimi can install apps to your storage card, instead of internal storage. Agreeably, this isn't huge, as you can just copy .ink files to your start menu, and restore registry keys, but, it's still nice to have. UC isn't able to do this.

No hard feelings, I'm just sharing what I have learned trying both, and which I prefer, and why... removing some of the research for other people.



I'll agree, renaming files for sashimi is a bit of a pain, but I just add 1-(cabname) and 2-(cabname) to those which are order-sensitive. This is one of the things I feel needs improvement.

Sashimi installs all .cab files first, then reg files, then copies the root files. There's also a synergy feature (my TP is messed up so I can't get to the documentation right now) that will install a .reg file and copy specific files at the same time a .cab is installed, it will even provision xml files at the same time. All that needed to be done was to name the files the same.

So, you have a synergy.cab in your \cab folder, and synergy.reg which you want to be installed with it, put both of them in the same folder - in this case, the \cab folder.

I just got my TP to boot and it's called "Tandem files and bundling" It will install the .cab, then the .reg, .xml or .mscr file that has the same name.

I agree Sashimi definitely has its pros as well. I didn't want to turn this into a UC vs. Sashimi comparison, I think it goes to show the OP that either way you go, it isn't too difficult to get it set up properly. Takes an hour, tops, of trial and error, and is a must if you flash more than once every month. Like I said orginally, 15 minutes of screwing with UC, and it has saved me hours of restoring things the way I like them after a flash. The cool part is, I am no longer worried about, "I don't want to deal with setting up all the stuff" when it comes to trying someone's new ROM. I flash it, UC runs, within 5 minutes of the download, I am back playing with the phone to see if I like the new rom. If I don't, I can move on to something else with nothing lost.
