Hi,
I am using Series 60 3rd edition feature pack 2 SDK for Symbian C++ application
development for Nokia N95.
I am trying to write an application that should start when the phone boots.
I have tried to make the sample helloworld application to start on boot.
I have followed the steps outlined in forum nokia. [http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_autostart_an_application_on_boot_up_in_3rd-_Startup_List_Management_API]

I have signed the SIS using online submission on symbiansigned.com

When I try to install the SIS on the phone I am told that "Unable to verify supplier. Continue anyway?"
I choose yes and the application gets installed.

Now when I restart the phone the application never starts automatically.

Please give me some suggestions about how to proceed.

Regards,
Tanvir.

Re: Startup List Management API

Note that N95 is a S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 while you are using 3rd edition feature pack 2 SDK to build your application Eye-wink

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"
