EZ Automated UC ?

[redd214]

there are apps that automatically make the sdconfig.txt file for you, so its as easy as putting all your files in a folder and saying make an sdconfig.txt out of these files and it does all the work for you.

While nice, sashimi is self-contained. And I often find myself stumbling across extra apps that I would like to keep after a hard reset. All I need to do is copy the .cab to the right folder, done deal. If using UC, I'd need to re-run the program to make the sdconfig.txt and copy it again.

I haven't used any of these programs, couldn't find them when I experimented with UC over sashimi, but the sdconfig file contains file copy commands and delete commands as well, how do you go about setting these up every time?

if i find a new app thats not part of my current sdconfig.txt i wouldnt rerun the program to build another one, its as easy as adding a new line into the text file not that labor intensive at all. i personally dont rebuild my sdconfig.txt it more than once i simply just add to it or delete from it. we could go back and forth but it really comes down to user preference. both have their pros and cons

Yeah, it is... doesn't look like I'm moving though - that was a low speed corner, somewhere like 10-15 mph because it was so sharp (full steering lock)... and it just so happened to be the moment in time I was adding some power to bring about a little throttle-induced oversteer Ahhh that was a fun course, I spent the whole thing sideways.

And since I guess I need to contribute something to the thread, too -- I still have to go through my list of apps when I switch roms becuase some are specific to certain ROMs (like, back in the day... the sprint picturemail update wasn't required for early builds of Dream's ROM because it didn't have picture mail in the first place... something that had to be removed later when I tried a ROM that had it cooked in).

So I flash a new ROM, now I'm using Sashimi to reload all my cabs. I plan on then using CERegeditor to make an image of the registry then I will register all my programs and set the phone as I like it then I will rerun ceregeditor and compare the changes. I will port these changes over to sashimi and all should be good right? For my NEXT flashing

What about programs that don't write to the registry but possibly to a dll or other file within the program how will I know about those? Is there a program that looks for changed or added files?

is this a reasonable apporach?

The programs that change files are elusive sometimes, a lot of times you just have to search here and xda to find the file that they use to register the program. I do know with Resco Explorer and Backup 2008 the file is wmtrigger.dat in the Windows\ directory. That one took some digging on the web before I found an obscure thread at XDA about it

Guess I can't get too excited I flashed to a new rom and Sashimi would not run automatically. had to navigate to it and double click on file then tell it to autorun, then it told me it was done but did not provision email or install all programs. so I found the provision and then got email working but now I have to install all the programs manually first.

guess I'm not here YET!!

LOL. That's what I was talking about with ROMs not being Sashimi compliant. Be patient though, you'll get there. Once you do, you will realize it was the best time you ever spent screwing with your phone because it makes flashing so much easier in the future!

+1 take your time and do some reading. but trial and error will be your best classroom
