[Request] Apk to change Carrier name

I have recently upgraded my phone from a Droid Incredible to the Galaxy Nexus. While on the Incredible Conap created a cool app called "Change Carrier Name" V1.3 that automated the process of changing the carrier name. Thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960111
Would it be possible to do the same for the Galaxy Nexus? If the process could be automated it would sure beat editing the framework by hand.

Use Aokp it has what you're looking for.

Was hoping this could be accomplished without replacing the stock ROM with a custom one. Something like unlock and root stock ROM, install APK, run, rename, reboot and PRESTO new custom carrier name.

Changing carrier name on a odexed ROM is kind of difficult and very limited.
Even the thread you link says,
Currently only for AOSP roms such as cyanogenmod roms.

Yea but you need to either hex edit or decompile and edit with a xml editor. Just follow the instructions in the thread I linked to.

But if you do that, it'll probably alter your OTA ability in the future and will cause problems.

quick question, and pardon my ignorance, would changing the carrier name make it where techincally I could use the towers from other carriers and get a better signal in certain locations? Im not an amatuer when it comes to rooting and other forms of development but I've never thought about even looking into doing that? how well did it work when you did it on your incredible? Thanks in advance.

No. You'd be on the same network and same towers.
You're also on Verizon. So there is no way you're going to be able to use AT&T or T-Mobile's towers. Even if it was possible, it'd be illegal.

oh ok thanks for the clarification.

Ok. Don't know if ya don't ask as they say. Thanks for the info.
Might mess with the AOKP ROM when I get tired of this one. I'm no stranger to CW Recovery coming from the Incredible and CM7. Thanks again.

Gummies Rom has carrier text change capabilities
Sent from my 4g GUMMY Nexus

zephiK: Took your advice and installed AOKP ROM. Don't foresee going back to stock any time soon. Love AOKP in conjunction with Franco's Kernel. Carrier name change was a breeze. Loving the other features of this ROM as well. I would recommend it to anyone with a Galaxy Nexus.

i have the same question
in miui the carrier.apk will show the carrier in the upper left in statusbar
will that work with aosp crom on the nexus aswell?
i know i can change it in aokp, but its not shown in the statusbar..

Stock OTA

Does anyone here have a link to a stock rom? When i first find something i just get a 404....
Thanks in advance

If you want the Stock Gingerbread ROM Unrooted, check my sig for the 2.3 RUU.
If you want a rooted better working one, check this:

Ok I've posted this in a few threads and there seems to be some interest in it so I'll throw it up here so it's easier to find. Works on all JB TouchWiz ROMs, works on some AOSP ROMs (hit or miss, you'll have to test. If you have it working on AOSP let me know what ROM and I'll start a list)

Feel like a noob... I just read 'for JB roms' on your description. It would be nice if you made one for ICS. Looks like it would come in handy. Otherwise, I can come back once I get my S3 or S4 with a JB rom.

I do have the E4GT. I can't upgrade to JB because I have her flashed to metropcs. As far as I know, MMS isn't working on JB (custom) on metropcs. So I am stuck on ICS. I bought this phone with GB and then found a solid TW stock rom without Sprint's baggage.

I can confirm that the MMS fix linked above works.
I'm on my E4GT flashed to MetroPCS running Domination ROM, Jellybean 4.2.2. The fix should work with TW too.

[Q] Ported ROM sends sms but does not recieve

A friend and I successfully ported this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163816
Everything works except receiving SMS. We really can't figure out what the problem is. We tried searching it up as much as possible but found nothing so far. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try simple stuff like swapping out the mms.apk for a one from our device? Got a link to the ported ROM? Maybe I can help, but without seeing it all I can do is ask you a bunch of questions. What was your process for porting? Did you use the lib runtime.so from our device or the device you were porting from?

If a rom doesn't include FFC capability

Theres other camera apps that support it right? or do you just need to chose a rom that does have the capability?

What kind of ROM are you talking about? Because you won't find any Jelly Bean with FFC and market apps don't work either. Do not waste money or time looking for a FFC. It's not gonna happen. If you want a badass ROM that has the look, speed, and performance of a newer ROM with everything working, try this ROM out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141593
Throw the Next 3D launcher on that badboy and you're gonna be in good shape. Promise.

It's cool bro. You can ask any questions you want. Don't hesitate. I might not be able to answer them all, but I can help you find an answer. As for finding out which phone model you have, go to settings, then about phone. Look at the model number. If it says PC36100 you have the Evo 4G, otherwise known as the OG. If it's anything else besides PC36100, you'll have to google it to find out what kind of phone you have.

The og (HTC evo 4g, aka supersonic) does have a ffc but it only has drivers for Gingerbread Roms. You have flashed roms from this forum I have tried helping you with some of your mms issues. If you had the lte than your phone would most likely be in sad shape. Flashing things not designed for your phone can cause big issues even brick it ( phone will never work again). As some users have found out the hard way already.
So plainly put you have an Og. Now this should have been the first question you asked before flashing anything.
Also I am working on a couple cricket roms for all the users on here. The first set will be sense based sense 1.0, 3.0, and 3.5. All with confirmed working mms and great battery life. I am also working on cm7, ics, and jelly bean.

Thank you again for your help gentlemen. I figured I had the OG but was starting to wonder when I read incorrect info saying the OG didn't have a ffc. I'm becoming more proficant in flashing roms and terms and what to look for in a Rom. A sense cricket Rom would thrill me as editing apns is not working. The only thing I've had work was a mazwoz everything cricket Rom, however as stated before the roms battery usage was 1% a minute, no Bluetooth capability, (which id rather over a ffc) .
With the newest recovery options, (especially including the usb toggle feature) bricking seems like it'd be impossible .

You know, soul hacker posted the Cricket mms apk that you can manually download and install yourself..... Its all in the same thread as Mazwoz Cricket ROM...... I have used that MMS on my own ROMs for myself when I'm not busy on a test or flash fest. Using the same method soul hacker has posted in that thread, it works just fine for me.

1. It only either works on 4.2 or 4.1
2. First delete the original. Then copy the the new one in.
3. Set perms to rw-r-r

forgive me if I sound stupid, but 4.2 or 4.1 for what? I downloaded the apk in that ROM post of 4.2 copied it over to system apps, the permissions were already set how they should be rebooted and it would force close when I would try and open it .I even used Titanium Backup to try and restore it over it wouldn't restore, and tried using package installer and it would say parsing error or something like that. I'm currently running the digital karma rom v9.

Is there a ffc fix for this Rom? other roms I've seen got this working.

No FFC for any jellybean or ICS ROMs. Only gingerbread (2.3.5) ROMs will have FFC.

Also you will want to use an amon Ra style recovery. Cwm and twrp are not very good options for this phone. Diablo has a few themed versions you might like.
Here os the link.

So after 2 weeks of trying to figure out MMS much thanks to wambo bomb and the rest of you in this thread for your patience with this newb I got MMS working on the fast and stable, (with Bluetooth) dirty unicorn ROM.(battery is bad which is why its been draining so quickly with other ROMs) I shoulda known the MMS 4.2 stood for androids version. For some weird reason I was thinking it was the mms's version. I find it interesting older versions of android have the FFC working though but not newer ones. Oh well I'd much much rather have MMS than FFC. If I had money to donate to you and the others I definatly would I'm sorry I don't though. As stated before I'm disabled and can't get on disability yet. If I do get on it I'll be happy to donate to all of you for your help. Many thanks again for educating me so I can help others in the future.
