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 was created by request for a user who had lost the original pictures that were used for his contacts. It's useful for anyone looking to save all the 72x72 contact pictures from their contacts. It will give you a list of your contacts that have pictures and allow you to select them one at a time and save a bmp, or you can "Save All" and each one will be saved to "\Storage Card\CPExtractor\Lastname_Firstname.bmp". It only needs to be unzipped anywhere to install.

SlideSound Print E-mail

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.
