Tips for creating .XML files to provision special settings during customization

[msternig]

Is there a way to manually run/load the xml files created by these tools? I have been playing with Sashimi and would like to use the Manual provisioning tool to create several pop email accounts on an existing ROM. I am trying to get this working on my current setup by deleting a single account and then trying to create it from the xml that gets created by these tools. For some reason it doesn't seem to create my email account though. Am I missing something, or is this just not possible? I would like to get this ironed out and tested so I can flash toa new rom and then import my email accoutns easily. THANKS!

EDIT: Not sure if it matters, but I am running on a Touch Pro (not 2!)

If you already created the xml files then I would use this:

I created an cab file from the xml created by makisu and everytime I flash I just run it and my emal is all setup

it doesnt matter if u run this on either touch pro or touch pro 2, itll work on any wm device

but im not too sure what you're asking here....what i would do in your case is setup every email account u want on your phone the way u like it, then run the email xml creator this way it gets all the email accounts and puts them in 1 single xml, unless u want the email addresses seperately in diff xmls which is fine too but more work to reload the xml....

to manually load the xml after an install u can use xda_uc (which is the easiest) but if your rom doesnt have that cooked in then i suggest fdc taskmanager, most roms have this, if not u can download the cab for free, open the app, then open the menu and there is an option to isntall a provxml, just point to the directory and the file and click ok

Thanks for all the work. I wish I had found this thread early--I spent 8 hours yesterday setting up the 'provisioning' files for my TP2. This thread would have saved me a couple of hours. I saved out the XML for several applications, so that took the bulk of the time. Having the registry key locations for all the items in the dnld is going to be very helpful as I had not gotten to all those yet.

So for XDA_UC do we need a sdconfig.txt file. The original poster didn't say anything about this. I used the bat files and created the xmls. I put them in \storagecard\XDA_UC\. After I ran XDA_UC in mightys new rom it only installed the cabs in the folder. I want to flash more but its hard when you have to enter all the settings again. PLEASE HELP!!

If i could give two thanks i would :-p

Once you have flashed your new ROM and imported these settings for AS, when you connect to the PC will Activesync ask you to create a new partnership or will you be able to use your previous partnership ?

guess I'll add some here.
This is the setup for some of the common emails, hotmail, yahoo, gmail are all tested and working. just open the xml and add your login info, then save.

What a great tool. Thanks again!

Does anyone else have any other settings they back up using this method that they care to share?

Where is it that this is entered? I see Twitter Password and then*(^*&92384718732(&*^^&E$%^#^&@%609384 and it has a value of String.

Can I just erase the jumbled characters and then enter my info?

you can try, i dont think i ever got the twitter password to stick but it would remember my username then after flash id just have to enter it once, the facebook is similar but i think the password will stick after flashes
