New finger pad easy install wow!!!!

[aaunderscore]

can anybody post his/her startup script?

& where to place the startup file?

[Casper]

This ^above^ is firmware dependant. Since my firmware does not support startup scripts I use RunScript (executed by Yan0's Startup) and it uses a file named "autorun.lin" placed in its install directory. But don't think this is the correct thread to continue such a discussion. Search a bit.

Ok, since you are unsure about startup scripts I'm just attaching the method I use, since I don't know which firmwares support startup scripts and how each handle them. (Remove .zip extensions)
>> Install Yan0's Startup > it's in Chinese > Just accept it this way.
>> Install RunScript
>> Replace autorun.lin in /mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/RunScript with the one provided.
>> Open Yan0's Startup and check RunScript from the list > then click the left button(s).
>> Restart phone (that's if you've copied the fingerpad files into /ezxlocal/fpad/ ).
Done

I'm not sure this works on all firmwares directly from the SD.
Here are some easy instructions:
What you need:
-eKonsole (optional -but I'm explaining using this)
-Startup scripts working (if your firmware doesn't support it, use Yan0's Startup 0.3 and use that to execute intemario_gr's RunScript)
-FingerPad itself (see first post)
How to:
-Extract FingerPad to the root of your SD - rename folder to "fpad", all files must be under this folder.
-Open eKonsole and type the following:

-- cd ezxlocal >> <Enter> (joystick press)
(change to ezxlocal directory)

-- mkdir fpad >> <Enter>
(make directory in ezxlocal)

-- cd / >> <Enter> (may not need this)
(go to root)

-- cp -r /mmc/mmca1/fpad/* /ezxlocal/fpad/ >> <Enter>
(copy files from memory card to phone memory)


-Once the files are in place, add the following to your startup file:
mount --bind /ezxlocal/fpad/libfpad.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/ezx/lib/inputmethods/libnumberboard.so.1.0.0

-Restart phone

In case you didn't know - FingerPad is mounted over your Number Board - so to use it: when typing text, select it from the available input methods drop-down list.

That's it!

-Once the files are in place, add the following to your startup file:
mount --bind /ezxlocal/fpad/libfpad.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/ezx/lib/inputmethods/libnumberboard.so.1.0.0

could u explain these line more briefly.. i copied fpad folder to ezxlocal but where is the startup file ?

You create one

You create one

how to create and where to create.. pls bro explain it

Place it in the root of the memory card

Please refer to post 12 regarding the startup script.

You must see how your firmware handles startup scripts.
Many firmwares look for a file named "startup.txt" or "startup1.txt" on the root of the memory card.
