Search for Splash1 and custom boot animations on the themes forum, which is where this question should be asked. this is android development, not theming.

Hahaha, dude, you’re funny, even your location says that you really badly want this…. LOL
i seriously doubt your dream will come true!
by the way this link will give u some hope

I second this request.. I think it will be cool if we could set up custom titles like "Flashing Addict" or "<this app> developer", ect...
There are quite a few forums who use themes to manage their forums, some are quite open about it and others are not.
TBH I'm not really bothered. I come here for the advice and support of the forum for the devices, rather than to boast at my status, but everyone to their own.
Besides. You have the signature option in you're preferences

I looked for that thead and could not find it, could any one tell me how can i do this?
I really want to update to WM6.1 with one of these great roms. Here's my issue. I don't care about the MyFaves crap on the homescreen or even having the program on my phone. If I switch to one of these roms will it effect how MyFaves works? I don't plan on changing my faves and even so I could just do it online via MyTmobile. I just want to make sure that if I do use one of these roms I can still call these people with no charge. I'm not sure if It's on Tmobile's end or on my end. Thanks. :3
Now I am not with T-Mobile myself, but I beleive that its on T-Mobiles end...I dont think that your phone has anything to do with it, other than providing an easy way to tell whos on your MyFavs list, instead of having to remember them.
correct, the My Faves does not need to be on the phone itself. I have the same plan and set it up online.
Great to hear! It will be a few days before i do this so if anyone knows somthing we dont let me know!
I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM offered on this site and have not had any issues. My Faves, as you know, will not be on the phone itself, but can be changed from the MyT-Mobile website. The My Faves program on your phone only lets T-Mobile know which 5 numbers you've chosen and if and when you have changed them.
The biggest loss in getting rid of MyFaves from your phone is the convenience of changing them on the fly. Without it, you must have a computer available. Not really a big issue for me, but it may be for others.
Great! Here's another question for ya. I have been using the T-Zones Proxy to get free EDGE/GPRS. Will a new ROM make this unusable since T-Zones will no longer be on my phone? Sorry If I seem like a noob lol. I got my phone in September of last year and the most I've done is proxy it and mod the JOGGR.
It works for me...
I do this for my company and i don't get charged extra. I just change my Faves online. Good Luck!

Are you referring to free internet due to a glitch by T-Mobile or are you referring to the $5.99 T-Mobile hotspot plan hack/work-around? The first method is a glitch on T-Mobile's part and will most likely be corrected anyway. I've read that you will lose the Hotspot capability which may screw you if you get internet via the hack/work-around.
I know this doesn't really help, but I'm one of those suckers that pays for the internet so I can't answer your question. You may also want to check out howardforums.com or just use google to help you find an answer to your question. Sorry I couldn't do more to help.
can't seem to find it either. please help my gf is so mad cause she doesn't know how to use her phone w/o myfaves. lol.
also where do you find this hack went to that site posted above and no go cannot find it
now if you do have myfavs can u still use this hack?
hmm i need the exact oposite i have the service but im on kavanas rom which dosent have the My Faves program anyway to get a cab or somthin that will hook up with the service?
This will put myfaves on your phone got it in another forum.. I can not take credit. It will not be on front page but it will be on the phone.

[Q] help me

hello i am very new to this forum but i have heard xda is the place for anything cell phones.
i just recently got a tp2 and my carrier is sprint.
what must i do to my phone to get the most out of it? and is there a way to run att's tilt on my tp2?
thank you
Hello and welcome
Fist thing is to read, search and learn.
Now regarding your post...It's a little confusing
You have Sprint, right? CDMA Service
You got a TP2, right? GSM required
You want to turn your TP2 into a Tiltl II? Got me there
i saw att's tilt and the main screen i thought was a lot cleaner, meaning less **** on it. clock and calendar. any way i can customize it so i only have that. i want to be able to see more than 1 event at a time.

There you go...so, you want the Tilt2 screen on your phone?
Have you visited the TP2 section and looked at the custom ROM (the operational system)?
I will advice you to do so. Read "everything" and don't skip a single step.
Go here and read the Noob guide to flashing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
After that look at the various programs available for your phone.
Last question....do you have Sprint?
yes i have sprint?
and thank you i will go do that right now.

Like I said....read everything. If I'm nor mistaken...your phone is CDMA and has a gsm card, right?
yes it does. i looked through the forum and found alot of roms but with the roms i need the function of a windows phone for work but i want to be able to see more than just one event on my calendar at a time on the home screen

Try NRG's Co0kie.23XXX or DotComp Deepshinig. By using CHT you'll be able to edit the amount of events.
The look on the ATT Tilt2 is not really specific to ATT. Only thing specific to ATT is the ugly blue theme and wallpaper.
The HTC homepage interface is Sense, and 2.5 is the latest and prettiest. Find a custom ROM you like which includes Sense 2.5 and the Cookie Home Tab (a user made mod), and customize away.

[Q] Customizing Carrier/Provider Name

How can i customize the Provider Name? I´ve a german Provider calls Netzclub, they base on o2 but on my DHD they shows only "Willkommen"(=Welcome) as providername and thats sucks so much.
Any help out there?
Wouldn't mind this myself actually, not to keen on 'Orange'.
what do you mean? cant understand you, sorry.
I've been looking for a way to do this since December.
I'm with Virgin Mobile, and on my lockscreen it says Virgin & shows the top of the mobile, but the rest is cut off

i tried modding the file replacing the "orange uk" to "test" it didnt work/there was no change, to be honest, i think the operator name that is displayed on screen is carrier/operator specific and cannot be modified, sorry.

Think there must be a way, because if it was to do with sim, then how would it be changable on a jailbroken iPhone? Obviously it may be that it is just handled completely differently but im just saying that its not completely out of the question

Wrong Carrier Code

Full WiMax Settings

ALL credit goes to sbrissen for completing this task. Without him my bounty thread would probably still be up and unresolved. Be sure to show him thanks as well!
I've been waiting to see what Sprint was doing with WiMax first before releasing this but now we know there will be no more WiMax smartphones... although I'm still waiting to see if they sneak the Samsung Note in with WiMax.
As the WiMax enthusiasts already know... we can edit 99% of the same values as the OG Epic already using both ##DATA# > View > WiMAX and ##DEBUG# menus. Possibly the most useful edit is setting the Entry Rx levels from -89 to -110.. allowing those in low signal areas to still jump on 4G. The big edit that was missing on the E4GT was the ability to edit the WiMax MAC address. This is what I'm sharing today.
UPDATE
This can also be done on AOSP ICS without the need for the attached apk(still no ICS Touchwiz option). I've personally only done this with CM9 built by darchstar or sbrissen.. but it should work for others.
1. Use an app such as 'Any Cut' from the market to make shortcuts.
2. When scrolling through all of the available shortcut options you will see WIMAX_CFG and WimaxHiddenMenu. Make a shortcut to each.
3. Use WIMAX_CFG to set the Realm. Use WimaxHiddenMenu to set the MAC.
4. Hit the THANKS button because I'm jawsome.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Download the attached file and unzip
2. Replace unzipped file w/the file in /system/apps. make sure permissions are correct(Root Explorer makes this EZ)
3. Go to the dialer.. enter ##DEBUG# > WiMAX CT > Open Device.. Edit MAC and hit set. Done.
This will work on all Touchwiz based roms released up until this point(with unmodified dialers). I can not promise it will work on upcoming ICS Touchwiz builds and it will definitely NOT work on any current/future AOSP/MTD/Cyanogen builds!! If you do have a Touchwiz based rom but the dialer has been modified and does NOT allow ##DEBUG# to work.. use an app like AnyCut to make a shortcut to WiMAX CT instead. Again.. this will NOT work on non-touchwiz roms.

Good thing is worked congratulations!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Thanks for this. I'm sure this will help a lot of people.
To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator from the Market. You MUST be rooted.
Open it and type:
"su" (for super user access)(don't type the quotes)
then type "getprop ril.MSL"
(then enter to get you Device's MSL code, NO QUOTES)
I know even though you stated in the OP not to ask someone will.
Thanks very much.

Not 100% sure but I believe it would remain untouched even after a ##786# reset.. just as the meid etc would remain untouched. resort to checking the label under your battery for original MAC
At the risk of being the first uneducated poster to ask the "what is this for" type question, I have to ask:
Will this do anything for me if Sprint has no 4G coverage in my area?

sprint/clear/comcast all share the same towers.. if you currently do not have coverage this will not help. Though I would not rely solely on their coverage maps. http://s4gru.spruz.com has detailed info in their forums on WiMax "Protection sites/Phantom sites" that list towers not listed by Clear/Sprint. Though if WiMax is NOWHERE near you.. this prob wont help... unless a local college or something is using WiMax.

because i said what its for.. its for editing your mac address. editing mac addresses is a touchy subject so that's all that will be discussed on the matter. and just because it's in the General Forums does not mean technical knowledge shouldn't be required.

um, whatever
but you replied in the other post "this is for those on other carriers or non-working WiMax 4G"
If you had simply included that in your original topic, could have avoided some replies
Tis all
Its like this, I have great 4g but I went to a farmers market there a company was showing off their WiMax for gaming. The MSL was on the side. Theoretically, you can Crick that Mac on here and use it. I was seriously wondering if there is a mini throttle between Clear and Sprint. Straight Clear seems faster. This is not legal to do I believe unless you own another WiMax device like portable hotspots...

already covered in the thread.. simply rewrite the old MAC thats on the label under your battery. there is no partition etc that requires backing up.. it's not like HTC devices.

if you have working sprint then you dont need to add anything. if you dont have working sprint 4g then you can add the mac address from your Clearwire modem.
