Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

It might still have been installing the cabs in the folder... if you have a lot of cabs to install, it could take a while. Since there isn't a progress indicator, I just let it run until it asks me if I want to reboot. It waits until after installing the cabs before copying files, too, so if you rebooted before it was done installing cabs, that might have been the cause.

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

Makes sense. Is there a way to add a progress indicator?

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

That's probably a good idea. I'll see what a good way to do that is when I get a chance.

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

I love this little program. cooking ROMs is supper easier :) now. There really is no need for OEMs :)

Thanks

Please put a tip jar out

Hello,

I made this so that I could easily install all my programs after each rom update or whatnot without needing to edit any text files or anything... you just move whatever install files you want into or out of the "Installers" directory, and it'll install those programs. Cab files install silently to the default location (usually the phone storage). It'll run other file types too, like jar files (e.g. to autoinstall opera mini).

You can do other stuff with your phone while your programs are installing, and it won't reboot without confirmation from you first. Another plus is that you can uninstall the installed programs from the "Remove Programs" list.

Hope this makes things easier for some people!

Usage instructions:

1. Unzip the contents of AutoInstall.zip to \Storage Card\AutoInstall\
2. Place any files you want run in \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Installers\
3. Place any files you want copied into \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Files\
examples:
\Storage Card\AutoInstall\Files\example.txt will be copied to \example.txt
\Storage Card\AutoInstall\Files\Windows\Rings\ring.mp3 will be copied to \Windows\Rings\ring.mp3
\Storage Card\AutoInstall\Files\Windows\Theme.tsk will be copied to \Windows\Theme.tsk

4. Run AutoRun.exe after you flash a new ROM or whenever you want to install all the programs in \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Installers\
(Note: You can actually unzip AutoInstall.zip anywhere you want, as long as you put \Installers\ and \Files\ in that directory.)

This is (*^$in' GREAT! One question, though. Is there a prog like this that'll read a *Config.txt like the OEM AutoInstall or UC (or maybe a UC that doesn't have to be cooked into the ROM)? Or a way to hack this prog to read a *Config.txt for instructions? I'd really like to use the txt doc method, y'know? w/o editing the SDConfig.txt I'd already made.

PlenTpak,

I downloaded the older version. I must not see well because I can't find the file on this thread anywhere. Can you hook me up?

thanks,

RW

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

That's odd, I don't know what happened to it... I don't have the old version that was in this thread either, but hopefully this one will work just as well. I added some functionality to import .reg files and run other scripts too, as well as to show that windows busy cursor while the script is running, oh, and ability to cancel the running script by running AutoRun.exe again. MortScript seems to stall randomly when writing huge binary chunks to the registry, though. Not sure where the problem is, but I'll just post this up for now and try to figure it out later.
