SASHIMI and new 6.5.x roms - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi everybody? I am trying to find a solution to a issue with sasimi on the new 6.5.X roms (with the start button on the lower bar). The issue is that sashimi cant install cabs to storage card. I searched the web and foud some ideas that u need to hack the sashimi.mrsc file but none of them was working.
Can anybody who succeeded in runing sashimi post his workoround? That would really help me. Thanks ion advance.

Nobody here uses sashimi?

Hello
unpack attached and replace the file in \\SASHIMI\Program\Bin\SASHIMI.mscr
and it will work with Win 6.5.X

Man, I love you, thanks.

Will it also still work with older winmo versions? Or does this break that functionality... thanks though! (Thinking of it, only using 6.5.x now anyway...)

Faaaaaaaaaantastic, it works.
Now, is there a way to install cabs to the device as well. I have tried "device" and nothing for the ASL directory, but nothing installs.
I have the Autoinstall facility on my rom but am a bit dubious to have have Autoinstall and Sashimi both working after a re-rom.

you need to install Sashimi program once in you device to storage card
1- if you already install Sashimi.cab you will get SASHIMI folder in storage card
2- copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
3-copy reg files that you want to install in SASHIMI\Auto\REG\
and so on
after you upgrade your Leo or hardreset it, run Autorun.exe from SASHIMI\Program\2577\
and chose AUTO

I just replaced my SASHIMI.mcsr and it does fix files installed to the device memory but for cabs installed to the storage card, I have to still select storage card and hit 'OK'. Then I have to go to the Home menu and come back to SASHIMI before SASHIMI will carry on with the next cab (in which then I have to repeat the steps for all cabs to be installed to the SC).
Anyone know what could be wrong?
I'm running: Energy.RHODCDMA.23549.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.20.7z
on a TP2

Me too
It seems that the "SendSpecial ("Down")" is not working and the script may be hanging on the command, or something like that. You don't see the selection change, so it could also be the "SendSpecial("Space")" not working. Either way, the "SendSpecial("LeftSoft")" just after is obviously not firing. Not sure why it's different now, but it apparently is. There used to be a "SendSpecial("CR")" instead of the "SendSpecial("Space")", so I'll try that to see if it's working again (worked in win6.1, not in win6.5). Mine's been working just fine, up till the very latest Energy ROM on my CDMA TP2.

I think it connected to the roms u are using. For me it worked with one rom, then I flashed other rom and I experencied the same thing as you.

sorry to ask, but so far I have no clue about Sashimi but would like to use it and read therefore as much as I could.
Is point 3 a typo?
>3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
shouldn´t it be:
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in Storage Card to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
Sorry to ask maybe the obvious but for a newbie it is helping to sort out missunderstanding.

You're right there off course

I am having no luck with the v8.0 of Sashimi. I have the Artemis ROM (WinMo v. 6.5.5).
Auto mode only installs cabs from cab/ASL folder. I replaced the Sashimi.mscr with the one posted in this thread but to no avail.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

me too,
sashimi doesnt install (not works) for new artemis v7. It install all my cabs from auto/SC to device becasue it can not move cursore down anymore..
any suggestions?

I also had a problem with cabs not auto installing onto my Storage Card, instead they were installing to My Device. I have been doing some hunting around for the solution and i think i have managed to find it. (its worked for me anyway).
Go to SASHIMI > Program > Bin, BACKUP SASHIMI.mscr and then replace with the one i have attached. I am no coder so please don't ask me about specifics, there were just some hashes added to the beginning of a couple of lines of code. Like i say it worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you Let us know if it works for you. Cheers.

I'm surprised that either of the attachments on this thread works on HD2 Leo. I found that there is a very basic problem with mortscript and all sashimi scripts will hang. Two symptoms:
1) if not in flight mode, sometimes hangs during initialisation
2) if auto install to storage card, will hang (leaving you to select the radio button and press install)
and there is no easy cure.

CAB not deleted after install. How to delete them ?

As we know, by default when you install CAB it will get deleted after installation.
Some of cooked ROMs will disable this feature, so CAB will stay after installation. Which is OK for many people.
Here is my question. When I install new program using PC (through ActiveSync) it seems that ActiveSync will transfer CAB file (which is inside .exe) and then - install it as usual. So ... where will be those CAB files located and will they be deleted after installation if delete-cab-after-install feature is disabled ?
During TRANSFER ActiveSync does not ask .... "Do you want your CAB to be transferred to SD card or main memory", right ? It only asks during INSTALLATION of the CAB.
I make lots of installations using ActiveSync and would like to know if I'm not filling my valuable disk space (on phone itself) with junk CAB files.

Thats why I prefer to extract the cab out of the C:\Programs\Activesync and copy them to SDcard. Pro: you have all needed programs on SDcard and do not have to install throu activesync.

Also if you make the files readonly you don't need to worry about making the registry change to stop them being deleted after installation.

Cab-file creation question.

Hi,
I have a question. I have for example SPB Mobiele Shell. We all now this has to be installed via a PC and i needs a serial to install. I have the program and the serial and i would like to make a cab-file of this 2. I have a program to make cab-files, WinCE CAB Manager. Can anyone explain to me how i can do this? I like to have this on my SD-card and like to install it from there in case of emergency's. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thx
many activesync install exe's
can be renamed to zip and one can out the cab files
give it a try

Tried that but no luck. I think this is not what i mean. I would like to turn this exe into a CAB and the key included. So when i install the Cab i don't have to register.
one would think the program maker took precautions to make that impossible otherwise your cab could be distributed as a pretty easy free version
you can try to single out what files it depend
on and make a cab file from cratchs
and if the exe or dll files got alter when the serial was given
that cab would be reg'd
otherwise you would have to find out what registries was altered in the
serial process and make a reg which which did those alterations
and get the cab file to run it
Most installations that require you to install through activesync end up leaving a cab file behind. Check Program Files\Activesync\SPB... for the cab file. If it is not there restart the installation but after you have executed the setup file leave it alone and search for the cab file again. I hope this is what you were looking for
ALL exe that install via activesync have a cab, some are hidden in the profiles temporary files, some auto-delete once installed, so leave the application hanging in the install and do a search for recent files and sort by date/time (remember to allow it to scan hidden and system folders). a lot go into the activesync directory, some go into program files, i have even found some that go into the internet explorer temp files, install, and then delete themselves. The most common hiding place is your computers profile temp folder --- typically found under
C:\Documents and Settings\PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp
just dig around, its not to difficult once you find the 3 most basic hiding places.
good luck.

You can simply download the CAB files from SPB site directly.

I have run into a similar situation where my installation was failing due to the huge size of a CAB file.
In my case, the size of the CAB was nearly 23mb and the free storage left was around 26mb. This made the installer fail as it ran out of space midway during the install.
I know one thing for sure was that the PC installers (Exes that would run on the PC that would extract the CAB on the device) would extract the CABs and put them in \windows\appmgr\install folder and would trigger the installer on the device.
So during my second attempt, when the device prompted for installation location "device or storage card", I opened up the explorer on the device (guess you can do the same thing with Windows Explorer since your would stay connected over USB using Activesync) and went into \windows\appmgr\install folder and made a copy of the cab to the storage card (you can copy to your PC as well).
Exited the installer and then installed the cab from the storage card and the installation went fine.
Not sure about how the SPB apps work since there are two options during the PC install. Trail or Registered version. Based on the option chosen, it would either extract the necessary CAB (either trial or registered). I hope it creates a "Registered" version of the app in the CAB after you follow the above steps.
Hope this helps.
PS: I wish that the standard install location on the device "\windows\appmgr\install" be changed to the storage card by some tweaks. So far not successful in finding/getting one.

SIM Manager request

ATT SIM Manager
Posted this in Kaiser, with no luck so,
Anyone have a cab of the SIM Manager that you can access in programs?
Installed the one from dutty's cab thread,but the applet doesn't show up in programs or anything.
Any help?

Maybe the older version will work. I'll put it up so you can give it a try:
make a cab from the 6.33 version please
After much help from Dutty (thanks!) I can now confirm that this cab (attached) will install SIM Manager 6.33 (even though under remove applications it says it installed 6.31).
Unfortunately, it does not automatically create a shortcut ... so after the install you will have to (a) find the exe file in your windows folder (remember to "show all files") and then (b) create a shortcut to drop into your "windows/startmenu/programs" directory.
Worked fine for me ... and thanks again to Dutty for educating me here.
ey man, If you don't matter, same CAB, with version corrected and link added

Put themes, applications and software, step by step.

Hello, my name is George, and i am from Greece.
HTC Touch Diamond 2 is my first Windows Mobile ( i just get it from expansys), so i have a "stupid" question to make. How we can put applications, software, etc.? Please expain what we have to do, step by step. I thing that a lot of new users have the some questions ( and yes, i am 28 years old and i am using PC for over 14 years).
I have already download the first 10 steps that you suggest in forum. Now?
Give me, if you can, an example of one program. As " we find the program, we download it, exctract...".
Thank you, i am sorry if i tired you, and i am looking forward listen from you.
Sorry again if my question looks stupid. I just want to make any mistake. Thank you!
i meen "i just looking avoid making any mistake". Phone rocks!

I installed a theme and it overwritten the defaul theme of the phone (htc black). is there any way to restore the default? Thanks in advance

First of all get a backup program like Sprite Backup, see some help in this thread.
This helps you to get back to the last working level while trying themes, applications and software.
For themes, check this thread, it helps to customize your theme by yourself.
For applications and software, they either come as a Windows .exe file or as a .cab file.
For the .exe files, you start them on your PC and the software/application is installed on your phone through ActiveSync.
For the .cab files, you have to copy them to your phone (prefered to the storage card) and then start them there with the file explorer. The software/application will be installed then.
Hope this helps a little bit.

I have installed to storage card,
When I install it asks where I want to install it to device or storage card I presume I pick device,
Dose it automaticly install to the right folder, or do you have to direct it to the right folder ??
cheers
avtomaticy chooses folder //storage card/program files/"name of the program"
because diamond2 has lots of space, I choose for all must have programs* to install on the device, instead of choosing the memory card
*camera mod upgrade, advanced config. tool ...... stuff U don't want to lose if U replace memory card with another

[Q] Load Programs?

Ok, new to all this. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA. I flashed to an Energy Rom, looks great. Now... How do I load other software... games and such? I have looked around here, thinking it would be part of the first post, I was wrong. Perhaps this site is too advanced for that? If so, point me to a newbee site and off I shall ride. Thanks in advance for your help. This phone is awesome, and the Energy rom I loaded, looks sweet.

well. there is the microsoft marketplace. or .cab files.
.cab file instructions...
one. download application's .cab file. suggested list of applications can be found here.
two. move the .cab onto your phone's storage card.
three. on your phone, navigate to the .cab file with file explorer, or other like program.
four. open .cab file.
five. choose installation location. device or storage card.
six. select install.
seven. enjoy.
and i havent ever used marketplace before...
i always find the .cab file.
sh4d0w86.
Not to make fun, but it is pretty surprising the you are able to unlock the phone and reflash the OS, but can't install software.
If you search this site, Microsoft Marketplace, or just do a Google for "Windows Mobile freeware", you'll find many thousands of apps. Find the app you want, copy or download the .CAB file to the TP2, and execute it.
For example, Google "Google Mobile Maps", download the Windows Mobile .CAB file, and run it.
Thanks
Well, the instructions to flash a phone are detailed and many. One problem I had was I was dropping the 7zip file onto the phone. Also, I could not unzip the file with the extension of 7z because I did not have the correct unzip manager. Another issue was I was trying to Sync the programs to the phone. Thanks for clearing it up. Is there a logical place to put them on the phone to make them run fast? Thanks in advance.

Installing to main (internal) memory is much faster than installing to the SD (external) memory. Installing large programs to the SD card is the general rule of thumb for obvious reasons. It's up to you where you prefer to install them.
If you mean where should you put the actual *.cab files, then you could always delete them once they've been installed. You don't need them again unless you're going to flash constantly. It's always good to back them up, so storing them on your PC or the SD card would be preferable.
Thanks a bunch!
well, check out this thread..........
cabs just load on the phone and run like any program, just find the file and click it. exe's need to run from windows (regular computer) and install through activesync.

Excellent Thread!!!!!!!! I too made all those mistake and diddn't know how to load .cab files. This is my first foray into modding phones so this thread was quite informative.
