How do I get my ROM name to show in device?

[IsmaelPR1]

Hi guys, I finally got into cooking and have a nice ROM that I made. I named it within the kitchen but when the ROM is cooked and flashed and I check under Device Info my ROM name isn't listed.

How do I make it so my ROM name shows up?

Thanks in advance!!!

Maybe this will help you along.

As some kitchens are quite different, it's difficult to guide you exactly. I will try to summarize.

It can be changed as before by Going to OEM\NewGene\COMMON\OEMVERSION and changing the values ROMDate and ROMVersion in the file mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml

These files may be named differently for you. Here is a summary of the provisioning .xml.


Your OEM can place your provisioning XML files in Image Update packages in ROM to be processed either during cold boot or during Image Update. During cold boot all files in all packages are processed. During Image Update only certain files, in packages that have been updated, will be processed.
An Image Update Package can contain two types of provisioning files:

• Cold boot files that will be processed by Configuration Manager only when the device is cold booted. The provisioning file name must have one of the following formats:
  mxipcold_<package name>_<version>.provxml
  or
  mxip_<package name>_<version>.provxml
  where <package name> is the name of Image Update package.
  These files should contain settings that you intend to be applied only during cold boot.
• Update files that will be processed by Configuration Manager both when the device is cold booted and, if their associated packages have been updated, during Image Update. The provisioning file name must have the following format:
  mxipupdate_<package name>_<version>.provxml
  All settings contained in these files will be reapplied whenever their associated packages are updated, regardless of whether they have or have not changed. Therefore, these files should only contain settings that you intend to be reapplied every time their packages are updated.

Microsoft recommends that you use a three-digit version number in the name of your .provxml files in ROM, such as mxip_opr_100, mxip_opr_200, mxip_opr_300, so that there are enough ordinals to identify successive versions of the file.

Thank you for the great info, I searched my .provxml files and didn't find what you reffered to. I used the provxml editor but wasn't able to locate what I needed. I am using Ervius Visual Kitchen to cook my roms maybe you know of where I can find this info knowing the kitchen I use.

Thank you again, I really appreciate the help.

You said you named it in the kitchen. Where?

[IsmaelPR1]

At the top where it says "ROM Ver." I put in my own ROM Version there.

[santod]

You put your rom name in the Rom version box?

And nothing shows on your device info, under settings,etc,...?

It shows nothing for Rom version on your phone?

[IsmaelPR1]

Yes it's weird... When the rom is being flashed the ruu says my rom name, but when I check the device it has the version of the base files that I used to create my kitchen.

Strange, sorry I can't figure it out for you. I am not real familiar with that particular kitchen, unfortunately. Although it shouldn't be too different from what I use.

Only thing I can think of now, is maybe you used a space in the rom name and it rejected it. Defaulting it back to the base files numbers.


On a side note:

You should add this to your sig. J/K

"and never smile about anything that you regret!"

I think I figured it out, I think... I used the rom tools in the kitchen to write the version name into the kernel. I will report back if that works.

Good job, I think that should fix it actually! Do let me know!
