I'm trying to build a UC solution that will reinstall not only my cab files upon a reflash or hard reset but will restore as many phone settings and customizations as possible. The goal is to require only an ActiveSync to get the phone exactly back into the pre-flashed/-reset state.
One thing I'm struggling with is copying back large numbers of files. Having to copy files one at a time in a provisioning XML file seems awkward and I don't know of a tool to automatically accept a folder and generate the long sequence of XML. I've tried Sashimi instead of UC Config, but I am not becoming as large a fan as some - I don't like the fact that Sashimi won't run automatically from a fresh re-flash due to its use of MortScript (unless MortScript is run manually first, the .mscr extension isn't registered to it and Sashimi fails). Plus, Sashimi is a bit too manual in manual mode (for those cabs that are interactive and won't install automatically), requiring intervention to move from cab to cab.
What are others doing to copy over entire folders worth of files (such as HTCHome, to restore customized clock and icon styles generated by HTC Home Customizer)? Is there an XML command for copying an entire folder that UC understands or is there at least a good tool for converting an entire folder into a file-by-file XML copying sequence? Alternatively, is there a good solution for getting Sashimi to run completely automatically upon fresh re-flash without first running MortScript as well as the UC-specific CAB file that tells Sashimi to autorun on the next soft reset?
