Where does "Device Information" get it's info from?

Sorry for starting a new thread, but didn't want to pollute the leaked AT&T 3.14 thread by going off-topic. I've been playing around with that ROM for the past day and a half to remove the AT&T, erm..., customisations (BLOAT!!!) and I've obviously deleted something along the way that I shouldn't have.
When I go into Start > Settings > Device Information on my phone, it opens the right application but with no info in the box, and the screen just displays the "wait" circle. I can move between the tabs, but each one is blank and the wait symbol stays until I close the app, then the phone's fine again.
I know the ROM version comes from the OEM/OEMVERSION/mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml file (which is fine) but does anyone know where the rest of the info comes from so I can try to trace the file I've obviously deleted?
Thanks, and sorry for being an idiot who doesn't want to lose several hours of playing by starting again from scratch!
sounds like you have deleted htcutil.dll
heh. the last build of my rom that i cooked, i "misplaced' the whole Device Information icon and link

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks Sakajati, that's exactly what I did! I've grabbed a copy, dropped it straight into my /Windows folder and it's started working again.
This just leaves two questions - just how much of a genius are you to have spotted that from my vague description, and just how late at night was it when I deleted that file!!
Thanks again.

Any way to Create new live folders????

so im looking around the market and come across an ap called "groupie" enables you to use additional live folders for contact groups. so i configure it to display my contacts from a new group i crated in my phone, and voila, looks great, but when i click on a contact in my folder it pulls up a totally different contact. Now im certain theres a way to hack new live folders in home and codes n stuff must be modified, but im new and dont understand all that. do i need android sdk to try this? or is there a way to do it within the device i have to do this. Either way i really would like to know how to create new live folders. someone...anyone please explain where to start. if theres some new things i need to learn, like source codes n stuff, then cool, let me know. Greatly appreciated. thanks.

Changing the Name of an Application

Hello mates, given that I apparently misplaced my topic in another section, I'm posting it here too..
Basically I'm interested to know just that. How could I change the name of an app into another name. So as to in a way "stealth" the app from third eyes that may have a look at my phone.
I have my device rooted, I'm sure I've crossed this info in the past (not here I think), but I fail to find it at the moment, and the search didn't bring up anything relevant.
Thanks in advance and I hope I'm in the correct place now.
You have to edit the application name by decompiling it. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html
This would break the updating because of the different name.
Thanks man, higly appreciated!

[Q] NYC Parking App

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that you can use to remember which side of alternate side parking you are on, and maybe even give me a reminder on the status bar to move it. If you know of one could you let me know. Or if you could point me towards a beginners tutrial on how to make a simple app I would appropriate it, cause I have read some guides and I am lost.
Thanks for the help!

Bounty For Apk Developers assistance

Hey guys, first thread here. So please move if need to and excuse my noobness.
Here's the deal, I just downloaded a Modded perfect player application and can't seem to change the background image. This is for personal use so it's not a HUGE deal. But I've tried to figure this out for days... I've been able to change the background resource jpg image in other apks. But seems this one has been locked somehow or I'm doing something COMPLETELY wrong. I'm to the point where I'm tired of jacking with it and would rather pay someone to do it for me. Feel free to message me if your interested in task and making a few bucks for your time.
Thanks in advance
