User Customization Backup for Touch Pro using sashimi

[studentjunk]

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.

Hmmm, sounds like it might be just as well to not install these through Sashimi LOL! Thanks for the advice. If I can get it working, will post back.

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.

I was trying to automate the MMS dance you have to do to get that working . . . . remove, reset, install arc, reset . . . will try doing it without the reset, see how it handles it.

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 needs to be installed.

if your cabs are on storage card, then you must install sashimi onto storage card.

No need to reinstall Sashimi. You just need to browse to the following folder on your storage card "SASHIMI\Program\Bin\" and run SASHIMI.mscr. This will open Sashimi and allow you run "auto".

There is no need to reinstall SASHIMI. Some chefs will add that feature to their custom rom but if SASHIMI doesn't automatically start, check out post #91 by DV8ways:

simply follow the instructions and you should be set to go.
