You need to create the SDConfig.txt yourself. You can look at a sample one here:

However, in OEMizer, I also click on the "OwnerInfo" and "Power" options, but I don't see either in the mail xml....Do I need to to each separately?
Then I went to Config Builder, copied in the xmls - and this is what it gave me when it produced the SDConfig.txt file

XML: \Storage Card\Cabs\EmailPwrOwnerSettings.xml
XML: \Storage Card\Cabs\option.xml

I was expecting to see the xml in text format (can't I just rename xxx.xml to SDconfig.txt?)

It did make a cab for the email settings (which worked when I installed it), but again did nothing for the Owner Info and Power.

I even downloaded the PS Pad, but i couldn't find the Phrase that I quoted.

Where do I go from here (and don't tell me back to school)

Wow, Bob.... where to start?
ummmm..... back to school!!!
no no no.... i'm totally just kidding man!

ok.... so 1st off, I personally dont use OEMizer to set my Owner or power settings (i make cabs from reg settings for that), so i'm affraid i wont be much help on that on... and i also dont use Config Builder, so again.... not going to be much help there.

What i can tell you is, that for this example, that "option.xml" has nothing in it we want.
I just use that xml i created above to run from my SDconfig.txt.... so the xml is called out by SDConfig.txt.

I keep all my cabs that i use with UC in a folder on the SD card called "installApps", so my SDConfig might look something like this:
(in fact, this is one of my older, lighter SDConfig's)

LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\hTorch_v3.2.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\RescoExplorerEn_p.ARM.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\registrymui_p.arm.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\ftpaddinmui_p.arm.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\tcmdpocketarm.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\CapSure_PPC_v1.1.11g.ARM.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\C-ApiSRO_Setup.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\TrackMe.CAB
CPY1:\Storage Card\installApps\TrackMeConfig\config.dat
CPY2:\Program Files\TrackMe\config.dat
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\S2ABlackFull.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\tsowentaskbar5v1.7.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\psShutXPDiamond.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\CameraModeMods.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\PersonalCameraSettings.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\Ident.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\OwnerInfo.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\installApps\WeatherCityList.cab
XML: \Storage Card\installApps\emailSettings.xml
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset


Does that help?

Ok, so the SDConfig.txt was correct that I posted. I just need to put the xml file in a folder someplace in the SD card.

Also, you had a number of cabs to be installed...but that goes to the MainMemory "Program Files" . How do I get them to install onto the SD Card itself?

I beleive that is a limitation of the program since SDAutorun suppresses that prompt. So UC only installs to main memory. But quite versatile otherwise.

Yes, just use the SDConfig.txt to call out your emailSettings.xml, you are correct!

Bob, honestly that's out of the scope of this thread....
And to be even more honest with you, i dont worry about it with SDConfig... if it needs to go on the SD card, i can install it by hand... i dont have that many.

[oldman]

OK, I'm good to go then....Thanks

Wow, this is why I use Sashimi/Makisu... it does all this in WAY easier steps, and it supports ALL UC/SDConfig.txt options.

Over at XDA there are many "former" UC fans that have moved over to S&M (I kinda like that acronym) so I'm not alone. It's as easy as RTFM and tutorial videos.

Other nice this about S&M is it allows you to "test" a clean ROM for a few days before you run all the customization.

I'm not knockin' UC: Sleuth put a whole heck of a lot of hard work in developing it, but S&M just takes this ball of wax to another level.

Off Soap-Box now

I have never tried Sashimi/Makisu but maybe one of these flashes I'll give it a try and see which I like better.
