![]() So I've never really understood what it was to provision my email accounts or owner information or how to properly make an xml file and let my rom's customizations utility do it automatically for me, so with the wise help of Psyki today, he helped me figure it out and I thought I would share how simple it is to backup a lot of info that isn't quite so easily backup-able just by pulling the registry keys and reimporting them later... I'm running Juicy rom which features xda_uc so in order for me to provision my email accounts all i have to do is copy the file this tool generates into my xda_uc folder and hit customize after a future flash. But sdconfig supports xml files as well and so does pretty much everything else like sashimi. So here's my simple little guide: Step 1: Download the attached zip file and unzip to a folder on your windows PC Step 2: Make sure your phone is connected to your PC and currently activesync'ed together Step 3: Open the folder you just unzipped and choose another folder which you want to backup, lets use owner info for now as an example Step 4: Double click RunConfig.bat and press any key in the dos box to finish Step 5: Browse the folder which you just ran the .bat from, owner info in this example and find the new file RapiConfigOut.xml which was just created Step 6: Rename RapiConfigOut.xml to something that describes what it is such as tommys-owner-info.xml Step 7: Move the new file (tommys-owner-info.xml) onto your sd card into the right folder such as /storage card/xda_uc for example or wherever it belongs depending on what kind of customization the rom you will be flashing uses. Step 8: Browse the other folders and do the same if you intend on backing up and restoring those easily later Step 9: Flash away! and hit thanks if this helped you ![]()

Re: Tips for creating .XML files to provision special settings during customization
MightyROM uses some weird version of UC that's not as user friendly as past versions. Do you know how to get XML files working with UCC in MightyROM?

XML: \Storage Card\Folderwithyourxmls\filename.xml - Note the space after the semi colon, directory should start on the 5fth character - Don't add spaces to the end of the line. File should end after the last xml BE SURE TO MAKE ALL YOUR SDCONFIG RELATED FILES (SDCONFIG, XMLs, CABs) READ ONLY OR THEY WILL GET DELETED |

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 ? |
