LinLoader installation for E680i/A780

[yantz]

download and unzip loader.zip. it contains 4 files. connect usb mass storage and make new folder "loader" in sdcard\.system\QTDownLoad
make sure you can view hidden files. in explorer settings. send these 3 files to the loader folder. you should now have:
sdcard\.system\QTDownLoad\loader\lin_loader
sdcard\.system\QTDownLoad\loader\loader.png
sdcard\.system\QTDownLoad\loader\loader-sm.png

send test.lin to phone.

next, edit sdcard\.system\java\PlugCardDB using any unix compatible editor. wordpad is fine, but do not use notepad. if you have installed some apps into the card, you should have a pretty long file. insert these lines into the end of the file:

[AppLinkRecord100000101] <- change this number so it doesnt conflict
AllPosition = 200 <- change this number so it doesnt conflict
BigIcon = loader.png
Directory = * (see below)
Exec = lin_loader
Group = 3
Icon = loader-sm.png
InstalledDate = 2005/2/19
JavaId = -1
Mime =
MpkgFile =
Name = LinLoader
OsVersion =
Position = 1
Rotation =
Shared = 0
Size = 24K
Type = * (see below)
uid = 100000101 <- change this number to the same one above.

* for a780:
Directory = loader
Type = 4

* for e680i:
Directory = ../../../../mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/loader
Type = 2

restart phone. for a780, you should now see a down arrow icon in tools with the name "LinLoader" while in e680i it will show "AppName". open file manager and tap and hold test.lin -> open with. select "LinLoader" for A780 and that down arrow icon for e680i, it should be at the end of the list. check the "always use the program to open this filetype".

close and reopen file manager. new file test1.txt should be created. your lin loader is installed successfully.

for e680i, this however doesnt gives lin loader a nice name, but it work tho

edit: change steps for A780 as per JakCrow
edit: forgot to insert "Name =" field as per Rudeman

ok i think i installed successfully. so at the end, linloader is in group 3 with AppName as its name and the exclaimation mark as its icon? lol looks weird

[yantz]

yeah its wierd, but it work tho

[HELiX]

arghh tried to use same method to install VBA, didn't work. the icon and name for VBA was in the list but when i click my ROM, nothing comes up T_T

[yantz]

it must be type = 1. try it

but i dont have vba tho

[JakCrow]

This step:


edit PlugCardDB again, this time change "Type = 4" to "Type = 1".

restart phone. this time, just tap test.lin. close and reopen file manager. new file test1.txt should be created. your lin loader is installed successfully.


makes the linloader icon disappear after reboot. The test passes without making that change though.

[yantz]

so you mean to say for a780, we can use type = 4?

[JakCrow]

I have no idea what the different types are. I can just tell you that it runs without changing the type per your instruction.
