TABU v0.4

Well, I found out how to make an app start automatically at boot, hence TABU 0.4 is released:

  • now it  starts at boot
  • now it starts animation automatically (ie. no need to select More->Start)
  • now it automatically hides himself on start (you can still see it in the task list, hence you can bring it forward or kill it)

So it’s ready to be installed (secretely) on your friend’s phone and just wait his reactions ;-) (photos are welcome ;-) )

Oh, I almost forgot the download link: tabu_0_4_uiq3.sis

    hey,

    could you give me a hint on how to make custom applications start automatically when booting?
    would be great…

    You have to add a file to the SIS package. Just create a simple text file (ASCII, not unicode), write the name of your application in it (eg. ‘clockss.exe’ in my case), save it with the .ast extension, and add a line in the PKG file:

    “NAME.ast”-”c:\private\10274b9f\import\NAME.ast”

    Where ‘NAME’ is the name of the application.
    The UID should not be changed, in the above line change only the ‘NAME’.

    Hope this helps ;-)

    (btw, it works only on UIQ3 phones, as I heard)
