Hi,
I want to know how to remove my phones network name from the notifications drop down menu bar (using leedroid 2.2f), I tried to get rid of it using the UOT kitchen by making the carrier completely transparent, but no luck when I flashed it..
Any help appreciated.
Edit - I wasn't sure if this was a Rom related or general issue that can be resolved on any 2.2 roms

Hey,
I want to disable the function to change the today background.
You find it --> Start -> Settings --> Today -> Use this picture...
I want to disable the text AND the Button "Find" - so that the customers cannot change the logo.
I don't find the right key in the registry.
I use Windows Mobile 6 with the latest HTC Flash.
Who can help me?
Thanks and best regards from Germany.

No ideas?
because i've got two other problems.
1.) I want to delete the entries in the list of installed programs. So that the user cannot delete the program. Is it possible? Or can I protect it with password?
2.) We created a background logo, at the bottom it is white.
When the menu has got more than 5 entries you can not read the menu well.
Because white font over white background.
Is it possible to restrict the entries of last used applications to X entries ?
Even if there IS a way to do these things...
...it's quite evident, even from the site on which you're posting, that you will not be able to lock down such changes. Anyone who is so motivated will be able to get past anything you do, simply by flashing a new ROM, if not by other means, dontchathink?
-pvs
simple answer, you cant.
Actually, it would be semi-possible. Jasjamming had a bug in an early Black edition where he baked in his background rather than had it running in the initial setup. End result was you could change your background in the menus but it couldn't change what you saw as the backdrop files were marked as "ROM" so couldn't be changed.
The only way to install a program without it showing in the Remove Programs list is to bake it into your custom ROM installed on the phone.
However, when you've gone to the time & effort of making this ROM that cannot be customised, what's going to stop someone using a ROM from this site instead of yours, or using the tools here to modify your ROM and remove out the bits you've tried to lock down?
My advice? Don't try to lock anything down on your phone! The beauty of Windows Mobile it's ability to be improved & personalised. Let it run free!
Hi,
the problem with the list of installed programs isn't a problem anymore
I made a ROM with the ROM Kitchen und put the cab File into the ROM.
My first solution was to delete the uninstaller from the CAB with WinCE CAB Manager. But i want also to change the colors of the menu and things like that, so i made an own ROM.
So, you are right, the users could use programs from here, but, we want to "brand" the phone with our company logo, because the users should be awake that the phone is a COMPANY Phone and not a private toy
So now my last two problem are, that our company logo at the bottom is on a white ground and the menu has got a white font color. So i want to change the number of menu items or i want to change the color.
Does anybody knows the concerning files for the colors in the ROM?
The second is to disable the possibility to change the wallpaper.
It would be great if someone could tell me which files i have to change.
Thanks a lot and best wishes from Germany

The problem with the start menu i solved with Tweak UI.
But the problem with the possibility to change the background is still existing.
Where i have to look? In the registry? In the files?
Its only a windows, it must be possible to change this option...
Finally found the post I was remembering where someone had accidentally set a theme permanently.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1252607&postcount=276
The theme was usually set during the initial customisation following the first boot up, but in this case JasJamming had tried to save this step by baking it into the ROM - with the result that you couldn't change theme. Sorry I can't give you any more info on how it happened (don't know!) but JJ or someone else on here with a bigger brain than me should be able to help.
Hey Stu,
thanks for your answer.
But i have allready only one theme. The problem is that the users can change the 'today-background' easily. Our company logo wouldnt be on the background.
I think this is a forum with a lot of pros! But the right one has to find my thread, please
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Use your theme on a phone, copy out the stwater and tdywater files,then cook these into your ROM and flash onto the phone. As the stwater and tdywater files are set as "ROM" the today-background changer won't be allowed to over-write them so the user will not actually be able to change the background - hence your company logo will always be there.
Good luck, and don't forget to change the start-up screens too - maybe a nice portrait shot of the Managing Director?
Hey guys, I'm building a theme for the CM rom to use all the htc taskbar shiz.
I am having trouble modifying the text color of the date and time.
Notifications can be changed within the rom, but if those are close by too it would be nice to know how to change those.
I'm pretty sure these details are stored in services.jar but need help accessing them and changing them back to white.
Calling all themers! Thank you!
EDIT: found another write up to try. I will try that first
(This was posted after failing several step by steps)
Edit edit: Tried like 5 tutorials with no dice. Any help? I tried using the colorchange.jar but am getting an error cannot find clock line. I tried manually editing the classes.dex. Still no change.
Here is one guide
Hello there,
I am with a HTC Desire GSM, rooted and S-Off, with the LeeDroid ROM. I want to remove (or change it to something shorter) my operator logo in the notification bar.
I have searched on the forum and with Google, but didn't find a way to do this.
I saw the thread with the carrier name app, but it didn't work for me.
Someone suggested that you can edit the framework-res.apk or whatever it is to do it, but I wasn't able to find instructions on how to do this.
If someone can help me, I will be very grateful
Thank you in advance.
Hi
You can use online theme kitchen (UOT Kitchen) http://circle.glx.nl/ and cook your own theme.
To change just the notification bar, select the option: "No battery, theme only". You can select framework-res.apk file of your ROM/Theme from drop-down list in file upload section or extract it from your rom.zip file.
Well, thank you for the reply, but I wasn't able to get rid of the carrier name in the notification bar in the past 2 days. I have tried many times with different theme configurations, but it doesn't matter. I have tried both wthout even ticking the carrier box, or with it being ticked but set to transparent - no difference, the carrier name appears in the same place...
Can anyone help me? I am still stuck with this problem.
The carrier shouldn't even be in the notification bar. A bug perhaps? Or just something the devs did to LeeDroid? I have no idea mate at all.
i'm using desire cdma from cox wireless. after changing to uscc stock rom and sleeksense custom rom, the operator name remains unchanged. how do i change it?
i already change the operator name using qpst and cdma workshop, but it won't work at all. any sugestion?
Hey folks,
i've found many people in the web with the same question but nobody had an answer to it yet:
i'm on arhd 5.1.4 with a mod that gave me additional quick settings in the notification bar. i would like to remove some of them because i won't use them..
is there a way to do this? i mean, the dev added some settings, it can't be that hard to remove them again...
maybe there is a way to modify the installation-zip-file before flashing the mod?
thanks guys!
You would have to patch the SystemUI.apk (edit some smali files).
Try asking capychimp, he managed to add settings so I'm pretty sure he can tell you how to remove them.
thanks! will try it and report when i got a solution!
fyi
bad news. no way to do this for non-developers...
thx for that info
I searched exactly for the same "problem"
is there any way to do it? the anoying T-mobile text is just there and taking up my notifications bar, and my lockscreen id like to change it to mabey something cool,ive tried the carrier name change APP, tried to find the eri xml but no luck, if it has to result in recompiling the framework,res.apk has anyone successfully done it?
This is so in the wrong forum , can a mod please move this to Genera l ? (bubal I know that you're looking for an appearance mod but changing framework definitely goes beyond this forum grouping )
