Works on my Touch Pro just fine. Indagroove has a ROM for the touch pro & the diamond that is sashimi compliant. Install the ROM, install sashimi, reboot & off you go!
ROMs don't need to be SASHIMI compliant. You set it up on your SD card and just launch it directly from there. It'll automatically set up anything you have configured. It' a brilliant service! And it deserves a link to the official site/thread, too:
http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4
Be sure to watch the videos - they show you exactly how to do your initial setup.
Any one has al ink to that app or can e-mail it to me?

heres a program i made to go with sashimi

Isn't this forbidden by the mod/owner?
Since I can't find Sashimi anywhere, is there an alternative stand-alone solution to CABs multi-installs?
I attached SASHIMI for you. I am using it for more than a year now and if/when you set it up for your taste you can automate almost everything after a new ROM flash
Or just try UC Net. It is better as Sashimi and works also on new ROM's.
Sashimi better than other customization systems
Though Sashimi stopped development I can say it is the best!!
I think people did not give time to understand the way its files work and thats why they prefer other systems that do the half work.
Other systems donot put folders or files in any device directory, they dont install mortscripts, they donot add whole files to documents folder they dont execute .reg files and makisu xml with email and wifi settings.
I wrote these lines just to tell that Bengalin did a clever brilliant job though it did not widely adapted from the phone communities.
Maybe, if people want to try it, I will write a tutorial for its basic functions and maybe Bengalin is going to come again with a new version.

The above mentioned program does all this you mentioned, plus creates automatically shortcuts individuallt or from whole folders just with a simple text file command, moves or deletes files etc etc. You can also create numbered folders with files, exes, mscrs, reg etc, which are processed one after the other. At the beginning you can choose what folders should be processed. The only thing i miss from Sashimi is the resume feature, but as it never fails during installation i really don't need it.

There is a resume feature in Sashimi.If the installation fails at some point and you restart the device and run sashimi again, then it asks you to resume or not.
Also there is no need for text file command for adding a shortcut.You just copy your tree in the root folder of auto sashimi and then the file or shortcut appears where you want it.For example, if you want to add a shortcut in start menu you copy the tree in auto sashimi root folder like this:Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games/BubbleBreaker.lnk
But how you move or delete files?

Ok, so I've been flashing my phone alot, so Microsoft's Myphone has been an invaluable app (you have NO idea how much it pains me to say that). So I've been looking into Shashimi and other auto-install stuff, but I'm wondering where my login/pass is stored on my phone for Myphone. It doesn't appear to be a registry entry. There are some dat files there, but I would have no idea which file to backup. Figuring this out would make flashing new roms super quick and easy to get your data back up (as well as if you had to dump to a clean rom while away from your PC). Any insight would be helpful!

I have only found the username in the registry so far I have a few ideas on how to extract the password but not sure if they will work. Am quite busy cooking ROMs at the mo so if I do find a solution I will let you know

first sometimes the password is encrypted so it my look different but when you can do is a hard reset then look at the time right before you enter your user/PW then look at the dat files that have been modified around at that time then move not copy those files over to the storage card then reopen the app if it has your user/PW then thats not it if it asks you to renter it then it is it. hope this helps
I have been trying to change the Google option under Just Type to use google.co.uk on my Touchpad (in the UK).
After a bit of searching through the config files, I presumed it would be a matter of changing the reference in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json as that file also contains the reference to amazon.co.uk and the other standard search options.
However, even having changed that, rebooted, cleared browser cache, selecting Google in Just Type still goes to google.com and gives me US references first.
Has anyone got any idea what I am missing or have I got the wrong file?
OK, I can now answer my own question after some further searching on the internet. It seems this has been documented on PreCentral in the past.
Just editing the localised file in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr don't complete the change. To finish things off and get the TP to re-read that file, I needed to delete the universalsearchprefs.db file in /var/luna/preferences and restart.
Do you mind linking to the thread, hopefully there is a quick guide that I can follow as I need to change mine to UK to....
Thanks.
I got the basic information from here:- http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/298297-just-type-browser-google-settings.html#post3160050
However, in the end, I did everything just using Internalz Pro (after loading that with Preware). It was a case of editing /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json (after saving a copy) and then deleting /var/luna/preferences/universalsearchprefs.db and then rebooting the TP.
How did you edit UniversalSearchList.json? If I navigate to it with Internalz & try to open it I get a blank Impostah window that just hangs.
I just set Internalz to Master Mode in the Preferences (at the bottom) and I could edit. I am not running Imposter so don't know if that has an effect.
thanks for this info, this was bugging me and your fix has worked a treat
cheers

Hey guys,
I bought thumb keyboard recently and would like to switch the rooted keyboard with this one. When I try to go into keyboard settings in the settings window, it closes me out of the settings with a force close. I tried installing it through Root Explorer but it didn't give me access to the keyboard.
I'm using Honeycomb Launcher, and I tried to create shortcuts like in the guide for using alternate keyboards, but the shortcuts don't appear on Honeycomb launcher. What should I do?
Some keyboards require extra work:

it should show in data/app I'm not sure if you need a root explorer to see the file or not. I use ES File explorer and enable root access from the settings menu. I've got go keyboard, thumb keyboard and Swiftkey Tablet X. All working perfectly

There's a setting in ES File Explorer along the lines of "show hidden files" or something. Do you have that checked?
I never did find the menu setting in ES to view hidden files but I was able to find the apk using Root Explorer. The issue now is that when I try to paste it into system/app I get a message that the folder is read-only. I've checked all of the settings that I know to...I'm rooted, have debug turned on, using Root Explorer, etc.

Strike my last post please...I must have grabbed an old ES apk originally when I was unrooted and just sideloading. Now that I'm rooted and have access to Market I reinstalled the most recent version and have all of the menu settings that I needed to view hidden files and write to system. Thanks for your help!

more on keyboards with nook tablet
I've been both successful and unsuccessful with this technique, so there must be something about each individual keyboard that either allows it to work or prevents it from working. I have a rooted nook tablet, which I have set up to block B&N software updates.
I have been able to install the Hacker's Keyboard successfully. I have been able to install SlideIT so that I can choose it as an input keyboard, but it only causes Force Close repeatedly. I have been able to install Swiftkey X (preview version), and can use it, but it tells me that I need to complete the installation in order to be able to use all the features. (I don't know whether that means there is something I can do that I haven't done yet, or if it means I need to pay for the full version.) Finally, I have tried to install the Thumb Keyboard, but even when following the same process as I have with all the others, it does not even appear as a choice when I pull up the "select input method" screen.
Has anyone had any success with SlideIT or ThumbKeyboard on the nook tablet?
Thanks!

Some keyboards seem to require more effort than others. Read through this thread:
[Tutorial] Installing alternative Keyboards on the NT.
There is a lot of info in there, iirc I had to read through it myself a couple of times, but I was able to get Hacker's and Swype working. And others have gotten the other keyboards you mentioned working as well.
Also, another neat trick is to also install Keyboard Manager. I have it and it automatically switches from Swype (in portrait) to Hacker's (in landscape) when changing orientations. Very handy.
Skip to How to Import Chat History below to skip the background reading.
Yes, there is a graphical import method for Line!
If you use Line, and you want to change between devices, it seems as though it is nearly impossible to backup (export) and restore (import) your Line chat history. I have searched XDA, Google, AndroidForums, Line's (useless) online help, etc. No help, no info. There are some guides about how to use a SQL editor to fool the app, etc., but that was just way too much effort for me, so I finally gave up and just switched. BUT, before I did, I went ahead and exported all my chats, even knowing there was no way to import them, just in case. Well, that just paid off.
There is absolutely no method available within Line to restore your chat history, right?! WHY is there a backup option? There MUST be a way! Seemingly no.
I just figured it out. And when I explain it, you too will wonder, why in the !#$%@^[email protected]%!#@$!#[email protected]^*%^&(*%^@# has Naver not published this?????
I was on my way to back everything up in preparation for a new ROM and figured I'd do a complete and total system wipe, meaning, I went to take a look at my internal storage (SDcard, Emulated, 0, whatever you refer to it as), to ensure that I got all the little things I want, like Viber pictures, WhatsApp pics, etc. And there I saw it. The folder. And, like you are now thinking, I thought, just maybe...
How to Import Chat History (Abbreviated, Quick and Easy)
Copy your chatHistory.zip file to internal storage sdcard/LINE_Backup
Start Line, open an existing chat or start a new chat with the person whose chat history you want to restore
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, Chat Settings, and look what just showed up below the (formerly) useless Backup Chat History option
How to Backup and Restore Chat History (Additional Details)
Line offers a "Backup Chat History" option, but keep in mind, this is conversation / per-person specific. That means, you need to do it for each individual person.
For my own ease of use, and to make transferring things easy, now that I know what the process is, here's what I did.
Backing Up
Go into the conversation you want to backup.
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, and select Chat Settings.
Select Backup Chat History, Backup All
Say Yes to e-mail this chat - in a previous version, I had to enter the conversation person's name in the subject, the new Line now does this for me.
Repeat this process for every conversation you want to migrate to a new device.
Restoring
On your new device, save the attachments from each e-mail into the /InternalSDCard/LINE_Backup/ directory.
Start Line, go to Chats, Tap the Chat Bubble in the upper right to start a new conversation, select the person you want to restore
Your chat window will be empty, but from here, you just follow the instructions above, basically, drop-down arrow, Chat Settings, Import Chat History
And that's it.
I REALLY hope this helps some people out. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this out, and as usual, once you know the solution, it's pretty simple and seems so obvious.
If I helped, throw me some Thanks button so I know I wasn't the only one!
I have a google Nexus 5, which doesn't have any internal storage.
Are you able to specify where this should be copied too as I cannot seem to find the right holder.
Also, what am i copying in there? The actual zip file or an extract of the zip file?one

On your internal storage of your Nexus 5, create a folder called: LINE_Backup the exact upper/lower case and _ matter. Put the LINE backup zips in that folder, do not extract them. LINE knows which zip goes with which user, you just have to start the chat and import per the instructions above.

Unfortunately, The "Backup All" setting only applies to one-on-one conversations. Group chats only give you the Backup as Text option.

That sucks. I haven't tried a group chat in LINE before. Did you try a backup/import to see if it would work? I'm sort of assuming no, that it doesn't work, based on your post. :/

Still, anyone figured out how to import group chats? Maybe from the text file?

A big you're welcome.
I don't have enough LINE friends to actually have a group chat and try to figure it out.
I just found a method for importing the chat history using Titanium Backup and the terminal. You need root for this. Recently Line made some changes that made this more
Hope you find this useful.
1. Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
2. Log into a root shell and delete the previous settings:
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
3. Now we have to delete this xml only if you are using a recent version. In previous ones it didn't even exist as far as I know
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
4. Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password.
You will receive a warning about losing your chat history. Just ignore it and...
5. Enjoy!
I had copy the zip files to the Line_backup folder which was already in the phone internal memory. However, there is no Import Chat History Button.
The Line version was the latest one and had Force Stop and restarted Line. Still to no avail.
Is there any way to view the chat log?
What format is it saved in and how would you go about viewing the chat log if you were sent one from a chat that wasn't yours?
Didn't Work on LG Android Optimus
I must be doing something wrong, but it seems I've followed all the steps. The LINE_backup files are in my SD card, but when I click Import Chat History>yes>ok, nothing happens... :/
I made an account just to post on here and hopefully find out.

If I use SQLite Debugger to delete the setting table, and I also remove the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file with ES Explorer, I get the Force Close when I try to open the application.
And If I delete the whole naver_line database, then Line starts, but losing the chat history.

Got it! I was missing the su command to make the emulator rooted.
I also found the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file in a slightly different location than where daimyorl said above (but the credits go to him). For me it was into /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/
Then, the complete instructions that worked for me are:
Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
Log into a shell and delete the settings:
Code:
su

Remove jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Code:
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password. It will also ask your phone number for the confirmation SMS.
