AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

[opuscroakus]

Ran this today after flashing to the latest No2Chem Rom and it only installed half of the items in the installers folder and didn't copy anything from the files folder. Reflashed and just tried installing and it again only installed half. Installed the rest manually and then had it copy the files. It copied the files, rebooted and proceeded to lock up at the today screen. Reflashed, reran, installed manually disabled ALL today plugins and then had it copy files. This finally worked.

Never could get it to install all the cabs and each time it was a little different as to what was installed.

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.

[opuscroakus]

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

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

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.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Great app! I was just wondering if this supports programs that run after the installation (Like WBA that configs the themes right after setup) Or will it halt the install procedure. Thanks!

Well, I kind of use this as an alternative to Config.txt, but I suppose you could either run AutoInstall with a line in Config.txt, and that'd do both things, or maybe you can write a script and put it in the /AutoInstall/Scripts/ folder to call the OEM installer. I'm not sure, but it'd probably look something like: RunWait("\Extended_ROM\AutoRun.exe"). I didn't check the path or anything though.

Yes, it basically just runs everything in the directory, as if you went into the directory and clicked on it all yourself.

I'm glad people are finding this useful. :D
