TierAutoinstall Screenshot This is for custom ROM builders.
TAutoinstall is meant to be run before autorun.exe. It will find all cab files referenced in the config.txt as well as those found in \Windows, \Storage Card\Boot, \Storage Card, \Extended_ROM, and \Extended_ROM2. It will then give you a checklist so you can choose to install or skip each cab. After you click install it will rewrite the config.txt, delete it's own startup link (if you use it), run autorun.exe (which it extracts from itself), and soft-reset your device (if you choose to reset from the menu).

Usage:
1. Unzip the TierAutoinstall directory to your kitchen\OEM folder.
2. BuildOS and choose Tier Autoinstall.



If you don't want to build it into a ROM it can now run from storage card or wherever...
1. Get TAutoinstall.exe from the rar file.
2. Copy it anywhere on your device (along with an optional config.txt in the same folder).
3. Run it.

Note: The default search directories can be overridden by a command line.
TAutoinstall.exe "\SomePath\folder1" "\SomeOtherPath\Folder2"
You can have up to 10 search paths.

Limitations: Because it still uses Autorun.exe, you have the same limitations in your choices of cabs. Cabs that have a dialog box after the install may hault the rest of the autorun process.

Note: This is also included in the PPCKitchen as an optional OEM.

Changes
--1.97 (9-21-09)
-Added an option to set a custom search directory.  This can be set in the registry using the example in the rgu file, or through the Options menu in TAuto which will give you a dialog to enter the value.  It will still search all the other directories it previously did (\Storage\Boot\, etc) but now you can add your own as well.  This should solve the problems of folders being named differently in other languages as well as help with customizing.
--1.8
-Fixed issue with tauto ignoring the second config.txt if a command line is used.
--1.7
-Updated kaiser's device info so it will no longer warn about untested device.
-Added "cancel" option to quit dialog to remove the startup shortcut if it exists.
--1.6
-Minor fixes to not run the same config twice.
-Now looks for \Storage Card\Config.txt in addition to the config.txt in the same directory. (Using the AutoRunCFG registry entry)
-No longer needs to have AutoRun with it. It's embedded.
-Fixed up the Titan version of AutoRun to also launch on Apache.
-XML: command supported in Config.txt.
-Cleans up old files from \Temp when finished.
-Paths made relative so it can be launched from anywhere (storage card,etc. config.txt should be in the same folder if used).
-Added the option to not soft-reset after AutoRun runs.
-The newer version of AutoRun does not support the SHOW command, so custom bitmaps are no longer supported.
--1.3
-Added support for Titan, Kaiser, and Vogue.
-Uses startup link as opposed to registry keys.
--1.2
-If a device is not on the list of tested devices (right now only Apache and Mogul are tested) then it will also set the registry entry to allow for unsigned cabs to be installed.
--1.1
-Fixed check for device id.
-Sets file attributes before deleting startup link.
-Removed X button from top bar.
-Added refresh option for slow SD cards.

This program allows you to set a sound to play for when your device switches from portrait to landscape and another from landscape to portrait. On Apache and other QVGA devices with a slide-out keyboard, it will play the sound during that screen rotation as well. Another feature recently added allows you to set an application to run on slide-in or out. The application launching feature needs work still because of the way Windows Mobile decides focus after rotation, but the sound feature works perfectly.

To install:
1. Unzip the zip
2. Move the cab file to your PocketPC and run it.
3. Go to Start->Programs->SlideSound to configure it.
4. Press ok when done to close SlideSound.exe. The service will run in the background.

Note: This is also included in the Helmi WM6 Apache Kitchen as an optional OEM.

Changes:
--v1.07
I changed the code to use the rotation angle instead of screen size. This should make it compatible with VGA devices now as well. Not only that, but it eliminated the reference to system.Display alltogether which is a good thing. If you're having conflicts with any other programs, try this version and let me know if it changes anything for you.

This is a Windows (Desktop) program that will help you design a phone skin.
Supported Dialers:
-BlueFrog
-HTC Touch (old and new(wm6 kitchen) versions)
-HTC Vogue
Make sure to choose the correct dialer in options->dialer.

It started out basic, but soon evolved. You can quickly make something simple or get more fancy with glossed buttons, alpha blending and your choice of colors.
Almost every element of the original dialer can be skinned in this app, except currently the fonts drawn on by the program itself. The digits, buttons, backgrounds, borders, smardial and status boxes can all be modified. It will output a set of images to be copied to \Windows (using a file manager such as total commander or resco which can overwrite system files) as well as a cab file for easy installation.

Changes:
--v1.1.1
-Fixed crash when saving a blueFrog theme using HotDigits or HTCHomeDigits.
-Borders are not saved for blueFrog themes using HotDigits or HTCHomeDigits, but it's better than a crash for now.
--v1.1.0
-Fixed problem with landscape progress background showing as portrait when loading a skin.
-Added ability to change the statusbox text color (and dial digits) for portrait and landscape individually. BlueFrog/new Touch only, and you'll need to use the cab version of your saved skin. Eventually you'll be able to change progress button text too as well as set seperate colors for dialer and progress, but for now I need to rework the interface to fit it all in.
--v1.0.9
-A cab file is now created in the same folder the skin is saved to. This can be used as an alternative to copying the files to \Windows.
--v1.0.8
-The Options->Dialer choice is properly checked depending on the mode you are in.
--v1.0.7
-Fixed issue with statusbox not saving in the skin correctly.
-Reworked the smartdial and statusbox code.
-Reworked the button-click code so that the downbutton color is properly displayed in the preview for BlueFrog.
-Smartdial not matching your progress screen if you're using a different background than the dialer screen is not a bug. It's the way the dialer skins. If it doesn't look right, turn the smartdial alpha up to 100%.
--v1.0.6
-Added ability to change bgcolor of downbutton for BlueFrog and new Touch
-Added ability to set different backgrounds for dialer and progress for all dialers supported.
-Added donate link to About.
--v1.0.5
-Fixed status box for blueFrog/new Touch
-Combined bordercolor for down buttons on progress and dialer screens for blueFrog/new Touch because they use the same image for downbutton now anyway.
--v1.0.4
-Now supports new Touch (in WM6 kitchen) and BlueFrog dialers.
Remember to choose the correct dialer in Options->Dialer. It will save in your settings.
--v1.0.3
-Now draws the talk button on the backdrop making it compatible with _old_ Touch and new Vogue dialer.
-Added the glosses created by FRESHMAN.


To install, unzip to a new folder. After you save your new skin, copy all the files (or just the ones you want to change) to \Windows on your PPC.
