How to configure
The program is easily to configure.
in your rom you need only a file named update_me.xml in the system folder.
The file must be like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
<RomName>Name rom</RomName>
<RomVersion>0.1.0</RomVersion>
<RomCheckUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_ckeck.xml</RomCheckUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_parts</RomElemUrl>
<CheckMD5>0</CheckMD5>
<RebootRecovery>0</RebootRecovery>
</RomConfig>
and 2 other file must to be placed online:
- a file with rom info for check new rom availability
- a file with element for rom.
ATTENTION
When the rom is update, the new rom MUST contains a modified update_me.xml with new version,otherwise the app show always the message "new rom available"
an example config is available here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/config_example.zip
the pack of available icon for tabs can download here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/icons.zip
in the pack icon named icon_0.png is the number 0 of the config ;D
Supported file host
direct download file host
public folder on dropbox, box.net, etc

How check md5 work
if check md5 is enabled for a file, the program check for a file name with the same name of file plus .md5sum like: app.zip and app.zip.md5sum
with contains md5 plus filename.
if the host is goo.im the md5 is read directly from page

for those that like to add this to their Rom its easy all you do is add the update_me.xml file to your system folder.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
<RomName>Name rom</RomName>
<RomVersion>0.1.0</RomVersion>
<RomCheckUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_ckeck.xml</RomCheckUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/common_update_me.xml</RomElemUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/transformer_update_me_parts.xml</RomElemUrl>
<RebootType>1</RebootType><!-- 0 no install,1 install on cwm, 2 install openrecoveryscript -->
<FilterName>transformer</FilterName> <!-- Filter for element,if you don't need not insert-->
</RomConfig>
then the file
update_me_ckeck.xm you edit and add it to your files location
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Is there any way to update an existing XDA user account, such as change user e-mail address, or change or add an im'age? I've made several attempts, but haven't been able to find the method for accomplishing this.

Thanks bro... it works on my Samsung Galaxy Mega GT-I9152, but I Think there's only one mistake with your guide bro... in step number 5 :
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/myawesomerom" android:title="" />
it should be
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/custombanner" android:title="" />
Please correct me if I was wrong...Thanks...
