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

[Confused Stu]

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!

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.
