We've previously used an MDL recognizer to autostart a UI-less server process in our application (it does Bluetooth listening among other things).

What I'd like to hear is if someone has been successful at launching a process from a Symbian 9.1 ECOM-based recognizer? I've have had troubles making it work (yep, the installer has been signed with a developer certificate with the required Capabilities). This has, so far, been on prototype hardware.

Of course, 3rd Edition has its Startup List Management API which would fit our bill perfectly (I think; depending on its need for Capabilities). But what about devices based on UIQ 3 (assuming ECOM-based recognizers do not work for process launching, or one'd prefer to not be forced to certify&sign the installer)?

I have read something somewhere (forgot where) to the effect that there'd be a not yet documented (or possibly private) Symbian 9.1 API for this sort of thing. Assuming it's just undocumented, does anyone have any pointers to details/headers/experiences/whatever that might help?

As a side-note, I find it disgustingannoying that we at this day and age keep trying to find ways to autostart server processes at device boot time. Kudos to Nokia for adding (and documenting) an API for this purpose.

Best.
