Yes, you can change the directory name to anything you like.

I'm still very new to cooking ROMS but I notice that many chefs have changed the software version to say whatever they want i.e "my custom rom 1" how can I do this?
Thanks,

i think everyone knows what i mean
is this something that can only be modified while the rom is being created? I just wondered if you could make it show something simply by mounting the file system with read/write and editing the file after flashing the rom to a phone.

I think you can go into terminal and edit the build.prop manually through there. Otherwise you can just go into the update.zip and edit the build.prop there.
Is it possible to rename the backups of
Twrp? I tried to rename the back up useing astro folder but it kept giving me errors.
Thanks for any solutions in advance

I was able to rename them and I restored a renamed one just to make sure it would work. I'm happy to report it did. I tried not to change it too much just in case. I believe the original backup was named something like 080720111954 (date and time). I simply deleted the time and year so it looked like:
0807snlessocgpu (for my senseless rom, with oc kernel, and chainfired 3D).
Don't know if you tried to alter the name too much. I used Astro to do it. Long press file, hit edit, then rename.
Good luck!
You can rename your backups, just don't have any spaces in the names.
Hm ill give it a try, im useing the free version btw but ill check.

Has anyone tried this? None of the ones I renamed will allow me to restore because it says there is an MD5 mismatch. Is it because I renamed the folders?
yeah that's probably the reason...from what I understand, you've not supposed to rename the folders

Dang. Thanks.
Cause I like to do backups of different ROMS so I can just flash the backups instead of having to do the install zips and the current naming standard doesn't make it easy to remember which one is what.
I create a folder with the ROM name and move the back up into it.
Job one.

Why didn't I think of that?????
What I'd like to do is to pull off all the files (keeping the structures intact) and either create an image file (.bin/.img) or something along those lines.
I know of DDMS and Android Commander, but I don't think they have the full power to get everything and I also understand the phone has to be rooted (which is not a big deal). Has anyone had any luck/expertise in this area?
If I can get this to work it then it would help out with some of the research that I am doing since it'll be easier to mount the image file in linux and go from there.
Alternate idea, does anyone know if when making a backup of the rom with CWM or BM does it hold the same type of data? If so where is the boot.img located?
Thanks for the help in advance!
I think there're a couple of threads in the development section regarding the images dumped from this phone.

You can use an app called App2card at below for your need. It has the data tools for backing up any file/folder on any kind of storage (internal flash, fat32, ext2/3/4...) and ability to restore them in original structure as they were when backing up

Look for samcripps fruit cake maker it takes your /system folder and creates an. Img out of it.
Sounds like exactly what your after. Thank samcripp if it works for you too.

Thanks, I tried that last night but the init.rc and other imortant files cannot be copied due to permissions access.
I eventually used CWM to make a backup of the phone and pulled the files that way. I just wonder if it has all the files on the phone (haven't had time to root through it yet)?

I think you can post your question in RomRacer's recovery thread; it's in dev section
so I have a question about managing backups from our bootstrap recovery. This might be a stupid question but I have a lot of backups from the recovery and I was wondering how you can delete/manage these backups; I want to free up some more space by deleting them. I am currently on dragonzkiller's CM7.
I believe its under SD card/ clock work mod/ backups

Just navigate to the folder that 03civicdx mentions with the file explorer app and delete the directory or directories in question that reside in the backups directory.
mmk i got it to work. Thanks guys!
I have a back up from every ROM for our phone so I know how you feel. It got really confusing which one was which! But they are on the external or internal SD card (depending on which you picked when you backed up) under a file called clockwork. To figure out which one is which, you can rename them. They will have numbers like this:
2011-12-13.07.17.47
DONT mess with the numbers otherwise you just lost the back up. So at the end of it, put a . and what ever you want to tell the difference from other back ups. So it'll look like this:
2011-12-13.07.17.47.Molten
You can type what ROM KR what theme or what ever you want, just make sure you put a period AFTER all the numbers. To delete them, just delete it through ES File Explorer or Root Explorer

You may mess / the num. JUST DO NOT USE SPACES. Also add to yo cwm folder the empty FILE ".hidenandroidprogress" and cut 1/3 off BU times.
Whaaaat! Ru serious? That's a cool tip! I also agree, the file name changed to anything you want, just no spaces.

Hah, sweet! I didn't know that, I was told the other way. Thanks for the correction, going to go in and change the names, and thanks for the tip in .hiddennandroidprogress file!
