Autostart not working when installed on memory card on N73
I am using steps specified in "Startup List Management API" in "S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS API" reference guide. Startup of the exe works ok when application is installed on c. However, if application is installed on memory card, exe does not start-up. No error is shown. Handset is an N73 with firmware v3.0638.0.0.1.
Anybody know solution for this?
Difficulty in following the steps
Hi, I am using carbide.vs 3.0.1 with visual studio.net 2005 and S60 3rd edition FP1. I am developing for Nokia N95. I am trying to make the sample helloworld to start on boot. I am having following difficulties in following the steps mentioned:
1. In the 5th step I have rebuilt with configuration "WINSCW UDEB" [no SIS is produced] 2. In the PKG file I am now supposed to add "C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\Epoc32\data\06000001.rsc"-"c:\private\101f875a\import\[06000001].rsc"
In my case there is no 06000001.rsc in C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\Data\
So when I add "C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\epoc32\Data\06000001.rsc"-"c:\private\101f875a\import\[06000001].rsc" to my PKG file and build with configuration GCCE UREL to generate SIS, I get I/O error on the line added in the PKG file.
Please give me some suggestions to proceed.
NB, is it sufficient to sign my SIS through symbiansigned.com with all capabilities granted so that it may start on boot?

==> I have found the 06000001.RSC in C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\Data\z\resource\apps
and as I added "C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\epoc32\Data\z\resource\apps\06000001.RSC" - "!:\private\101f875a\import\[06000001].rsc" in the PKG file, SIS is now built seamlessly.
I have signed through symbiansigned.com and it successfully installs on Nokia N95.
But it starts on boot only when SIS is installed on phone memory and not on the memory card.
NB, SISExplorer gave me a kind of ground about what to expect inside a SIS. Whether to use "c:\private\101f875a\import\[06000001].rsc" or "!:\private\101f875a\import\[06000001].rsc"

Making the article more generic
I've seen recently some conflicting edits in this article and based on that information I would like to suggest that the article should be made to look more generic:
For example the file name in the resource can be formated so as to indicate that it is a component that the developer would need to change it according to his own project. Italic text and maybe color coding can be used.

Just made some changes accordingly, please verify it and correct it if you find anything improper.

About the RSS file
At least I had to put the new RSS file in the data folder (instead of group).
-witherd-
That indeed the standard location for rss files however the locations is not that relevant if you specify the correct path in the MMP file.

About point#2
1) I could see something ' in the '..DATA\.... Is it intentional or a typo?
2) Some comments regarding .r01 has been removed. I guess we had a discussion about this in Making the article more generic
--Kiran10182 20:26, 8 July 2008 (EEST)
1) Let's try then <PRJ_DIRECTORY> as a root to all the paths, that could be more clear.
2) The registration file is not subject to localization so that's why I removed any reference to *.R?? but you're right, the SC language may not be always in the default set.
Ok, consider it fixsed :)

As far as my first point was concerned, i was referring to ´ character which was there previously. I guess it was typo and i removed that character. :)
