Huge Problem - PKGs

[xetaman]

Ok, so I'm basically stuck.

History: I was using some MPKG installer. Then i got that megalauncher package by joarodrigo, which did PKG installation. So i removed my older stuff (to unclutter menus'). Then today the damn thing stopped installing. Clicking on .pkg files did nothing.

So I started fiddling around a bit, didnt want to replace my .system folder. Tried getting installer and modifying registry file and all, but didn't work.

Problem: With some whim, i went into that MegaLauncher and clicked on "Uninstall Mode". It said activated. And now i can't run any native applications, including MegaLauncher itself. It says "<!> Invalid Application file. The file cannot be used". So i'm basically stuck.

Any help?

The uninstall mode modifies your card registry. Here is the solution:

Copy the "card registry" from /mmc/mmca1/.system/java to your PC.
Open the file with a UNIX compatible editor like Notepad++.

DO NOT MODIFY THE FILE ON THE PHONE ITSELF IN TELNET MODE, OR WITH THE BUILT IN NOTES APPLICATION.

1. To get an application to uninstall, its attributes are changed from Attribute = 2 to Attribute = 5.
So change back all
Attribute = 5
to
Attribute = 2 (ONLY FOR PKG. DON'T CHANGE ATTRIBUTE OF JAVA)

2. Uninstall mode also sometimes changes the "Directory" tag. So, if you see something like
Directory = ekonsole
change it to
Directory = /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/ekonsole
Do this for all pkg applications.

Save this file and put it back in the /mmc/mmca1/.system/java directory.

Restart your mobile.
Now the programs should work.

If not, then please post your card registry file.

You can't even use SmartAssistant?
Because I use SmartAssistant to switch between "Uninstall" and "Run", using the last as a refresh of the GUI if you can say that (when disconnecting from PC to rearrange the icons for example).

Worked perfectly as you described Amit.

Just that all the native apps had an attribue of 4, which I changed to 2. And I changed the directory as well.

Only the java apps had 5 and i did not touch them at all.

Now i can run all the apps, but I'm still stuck with the initial problem of not being to install any new Native Apps Guess i'll have to figure something out over the weekend.

So i'm guessing there's a bug in that MegaLauncher and it should not set it's own Attribute to 4 or 5 or whatever. Guess i'll post joaro on this one.

I use yan0's mpkg installer.
When you click it shows 3 options, Uninstall, Properties & Cancel.

The same thing happens when you click Uninstall option.
The ezx apps does not start, except mpkg.

With this option enabled, you can remove ezx apps just like any other java apps.

Solution is again click on mpkg, and select properties, it will go back to normal.

yea, i was using yan0's as well. But i smartly removed it because megalauncher was doing the job for me quite well. Now it's failed. And replacing the system folder is out of question, so i'll need to find out a good version to "inject" into my system.

heh.
