App or Technique to install multiple cabs?

I am finding myself currently trying different roms lately and each time I have to re install all my cabs...I was wondering if there is an app which can install multiple .cab files ? Or is there some kind of technique I am missing ?
If the above is not possible, is there a way to install a group of .cab files with the new rom installation ? (would that be the auto installer thing I have read about ?)....
If there is no such way to do this, maybe we can work together on something of the like...
please advise

i was going to ask the same question can someone help. i know that for the Android phones there a program that intalls the apk that you want.
check out sashimi. it has a auto mode to install multiple cabs, though i haven't had much success with installing to the storage card. it also has many other features.
there is also UC, i believe. I haven't tried it.
i would be very interested in to know about other alternatives, as well.
I tried the 'vip' thing but it seemed like it worked half way...I also think the one I downloaded was just someone elses which they already setup for themself and left a few of their files in because there were files for 'cingular' and another phone in there as well...
I could only find 3 links related to that vip thing I am talking about and one had the download link the others were just discussions...
Well it depends on what rom you are downloading, if you are going with NRG for example he uses XDA_UC. Basically you create a folder on your sdcard called XDA_UC, place your cabs in that folder and when booting after a fresh flash they will auto install for you. Very easy to do
sashimi. search for sashimi demo on youtube.

[HOW-TO] [Flash] [HULU] How to make Hulu (and others) work on the Samsung Galaxy Tab
The Galaxy Tab uses a custom build of Flash. If you try to install one of the hacked Nexus One Flash apks that are floating around, it won't work. Not only will you not be able to access Hulu, but Flash won't work at all. You also can't use the Android Market version.

I'm going to try this out when I get home tonight and see if I can't put together an apk that will work with hulu.
I've taken a stab at editing the GLES optimized flash APK from here to work with the Hulu "fix".
I'm still waiting on my replacement tablet to come in, but it might be helpful for someone. You'll have to uninstall your old version of flash.

Flash still works on gtablet but no hulu. Still asks for flash upgrade. Sure would be nice to get this working if at all possible.

Well I was able to modify the libflashplayer.so player and got hulu working, but I can't seem to figure out how to create an apk that will install correctly, my attempts failed where the apk fails to install.
Can someone try the libflashplayer.so file attached and see if if works for them. Then maybe someone with more knowledge than me can package it into the apk.

Is this with my APK? Have you changed your useragent? Any chance of a screenshot or the exact error text?

When you go to Hulu, it says you need flash player 10.0.32 or higher. When I replaced just my so file with the original apk it worked, I was able to create an apk successfully now, but I also get this same issue, so not sure what is going on. Is there something else in the apk that needs to be changed besides the libflashplayer.so file?

That should be it...
Try with my hulu app from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6888650&postcount=139
It sets your User Agent to desktop and loads their mobile site. You can also hit "Menu -> Test Flash" to see what version of flash hulu will see.

Ok, seems to have fixed itself. I think the system didn't think flash was installed at all and once it settled down or maybe reboot helped I was able to get it to work in Dolphin and the Hulu app. I tried this with the stuff I was working on and the apk you posted and both work, so all looks good.
Thanks for getting this working, nice to have hulu working on this. Anyone else want to try this out and verify it is working?
EDIT: This seems to be intermittent, I get a circle with ! after some time of playing. Maybe the flash crashing?

I performed the following:
1) Uninstall-ed FLASH
2) Installed your fixed version
3) Launched Dolphin HD
4) Set user agent as Desktop (in the Dolphin HD settings)
5) Browsed wuth Dolphin HD to Hulu.com and received the following error message: :Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."
I will re-boot to see if that is needed. Reboot did not help.
Also Getting the same error message
Wonder if hulu figured out another check? I get the same error with the 105.7 with the patch too
I found a website that has instructions on how to get hulu working on the galaxy tab and it's worked for me so far.(huluongalaxytab.weebly.com)
hope this helps

Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 WLAN (YP-G1) no app market

Hi,
I'm in China right now, and i bought the new Samsung Mp4 Player (Samsung Galaxy Player WLAN 4.0, YP-G1) at amazon.cn .
Its my first android device, but iam not a electronics noob. I thought i would get an android market app, but actually theres only a "samsung app store" with a total of 8 apps available...
I found apk links to googlemaps and skype, and managed to install them. But all downloads of the android market failed to install.
Am I not going to succeed in trying to install the app market? I read about "flashing" the zip file, but no guide talks about this player.
Heres a picture of the "about" page:
h**p://i53.tinypic.com/nmagls.jpg
Does the SDK package maybe help? I read thats a way to install packages too.
Thanks in advance!
So far I downloaded many versions of the market apk.
For most of them I'm unable to install them. If i clock on the apk it says installation failed.
One actually worked, at least i could install it. When i want to open it though it pop ups with a white screen and then disappears again.
SDK didnt work so far since the USB drivers aren't working for the Galaxy Player yet, at least Windows says it can`t find any drivers in the extras\usb-driver folder.
I found a guide for the i9000, using the dial pad. But no phone functionality, no dial pad
If I would succeed in rooting my player, is it sure the market will be installable?
No other way?
I followed this guide: h**p://samsung-phones-apps.com/how-to-install-enable-android-market-on-galaxy-s-galaxy-tab.html , but the last step, copying the files with root explorer, didnt work.
I can get R/W root access, but it wont copy anything into the system apps folder.
I tried to flash the zip for the market app here from the forums, but i cant flash it without a valid signature, screenshot: h**p://i54.tinypic.com/x5qo2b.jpg
I will try to sign it with signing tool i found, lets see if that helps.
How can it be that difficult to install the stupid market
I actually succeded with some apk, but when i try to start the market app the screen turns white for half a second and then the app closes down again.
Anyone got any ideas?
Well, in the end i managed to half brick the player. Then i couldnt find an original rom (actually without a nandroid version for the player i also couldnt update the rom before flashing the wrong one).
I also tried the rom from the koren YP-GB1 player, but with that rom the touchscreen was not working correctly, left and right was ok, but up and down where exchanged, try writing on a keyboard thats actually at another place on the screen...
So in the end i went to samsung and they just gave me a paper, now amazon send me a new one.
If anybody gets the same player, dont try something funny until the original rom is out
Thanks for your advice! Let's hope that by the end of the years the pros start developing the samsung players. Then at least we'll be able to get better sound with the Voodoo Control sound app (needs root...).

Customing Custom Rom

Dear All,
Actually under FW 3.01 .13 CN firmware (My TF is CN original), i am going to downgrade to .9 in order to root and install Primordial custom 3.1. (it is what i understood i should do)
I should be then able to get access to google apps, gmail... (nothing of it on CN FW )
Now here is my question:
In the epad-US8445 zip file, i found in the APP folder that all apps are there. If i dont want to install youtube tablet apk (no access to youtube in china) or any other app, can i just delete the apk from there or is it better to install the rom as it is, then manually uninstall from the device?
Also, as the Blob v5 is out, i wish to use this one to root my device but cant find it. Maybe i'm not good enough yet at searching the forum or maybe it is under another name. Can you please give me the link to a proper blob V5 file?
edit: i found it on http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/ but i dont know why the download stops before i get the full file so my file is smaller than online version....( i have downloaded blob_v4 successfully, maybe i should us this one? any difference?)
Thanks a lot for your answer which will be precious for a beginner as me
please any help?
i cant get the blob5 from filefactory, it is censured here...
