I would like to edit the text "Verizon Wireless" in the notification pulldown. I know if I do this it will also change on the lock screen.
Does anyone know how to complete this?
If you could post a small how to, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx in advance
I do believe you need cdma workshop which is a $100 program and most pirated versions are riddled with viruses.

It is located in framework and the xml is in the xml folder and its eri.xml

I went to the eri.xml and opened it in a hex editor but it doesn't have the text "Verizon Wireless" in it anywhere.
No-Go
I know it should be around the words, EriInfo 64, but in my eri.xml there is no Verizon Wireless behind it.

Not as simple as that. There is the guide above

Hey all,
This question is for the Sprint HTC Touch, new with WMPro 6.1.
I want to change the icons/links that are on the bottom toolbar, I guess its called the Operator Launcher Plugin. Right now it has: Phone, Sprint Music Store, Photo Album, Navigation and Sprint TV. Well I dont have a data plan so the Sprint TV and Nav are useless, and who pays for music now-a-days??? lol... so that has to go too.
I think I has an idea of how to change this, I just want to see if I am correct.
I found the 'ql_skin_p.xml' file and looked inside to see all of the links to the bitmaps and masks used for the icons, and links to the files. Is it as easy as photoshopping new bitmaps and masks, and using the new file names in the xml files, then changing the links?
Thanks,
Livens
Is there a way to remove "Verizon Wireless" from the lock screen in CM7.1 and push the clock higher? I've searched but haven't found anything.

I think using a metamorph theme on the lockscreen would do it. that's how I've got mine set up and I don't have a carrier label on my lockscreen. Not sure if they two are related, but it seems plausible.

And what also you might try is going into your /system/build.prop file via root explorer or equivalent. If you see "Verizon Wireless" as an operator name in that file, try changing the name to { } all spaces. I would do that before deleting the operator name altogether.
Please brick up your phone before you risk backing it.
Wait a minute. Scratch that, reverse it.
take this eri.xml and place it in /data folder, use the hex editor in root explorer to change text to whatever (or just a space for blank) then reboot.
Ok, I got the text removed using the eri file, but the clock is in the same place. Is there anything else I can edit or remove in that file to make the clock be all the up to the top?
Didn't see Verizon Wireless in the build.prop file and have never used meta morph

I'm new to Android, coming from my FrankenPre2 after giving up hope on webOS and HP. Picking up the Epic Touch has been great, besides the LOS and battery issues. I was pretty deep into modding the Pre, so I'm looking to do the same here.
My first thought was to try to modify the images on the Epic, but I am lost as to where to find the correct files to modify. I was able to change the icon for the messaging app and the Incoming/Outgoing phone call animation, but that's pretty much it. I don't know where to start with the phone app, since images seem to be spread out all over the place. Opening up the phone apk yeilds a ton of images, and I don't know which ones to change.
My question would be to any themers out there, or anyone familiar enough with Android. How do I know which images I need to edit? Is there a directory or a file list which gives corresponding locations to specific images, such as the "1" button or the "Call" button, or the launcher icons? Or is it more a process of trial and error? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can you post screenshots of the things you want to change

Pretty much everything. My first shot will be at the stock icons on the launcher. The I'd like to start on themes for the phone, email, and messaging apps. Pecifically, on the phone I'd like to change much of the color scheme, since the stock colors are in my opinion pretty ugly. But I also want to change the dial pad numbers and other standard buttons.
I was directed to this thread by another Android user:

Looking into it, the framework-res.apk does have a lot of images that are familiar, but there are a lot of images that aren't there. I think I'll have to start learning about the names of the file locations, and going by trial and error. It would be awesome if there was a simple blueprint as to where the images you want to change are, but ah well. I've got a lot of learning to do. Thanks for the response, and if you have any other suggestions, let me know.
Check out SystemUI.apk
This is the pulldown icons and such
Found under system\app\
I think the dialer is contacts.apk

Thank you! I would never have looked in the contacts for the dialer icons. There doesn't seem to be a perfect logic as to which apk's hold the images, so I guess it's going to be a lot of trial and error here. If you know of any more locations, let me know. Thanks!
you need to modify the images in the following that I know of to get a pretty standard theme
Framework-res
touchwiz framework-res
contacts.apk
systemui.apk
Ok, so my main reason is to change my carrier's name to whatever I want and display it on upper left or right part of our screen like on make it mine for iPhone..
I found this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901865 but it only shown on the lock screen..
There is a way but it requires some know-how. You have to edit the eri.xml in the framework-res.apk.

Not sure if this would help you.. but there is a app on Google Play which displays the operator name/logo.

Does anyone know how to remove the "Quick Settings" text from the header?
I have APK Manager so I can decompile .xml files and make the changes, but I don't know which file to edit. I'd just like to stop the text from appearing over my header in the quick settings drop down. I'm running In-Sensitive Minimalist 3.1 ROM. Thanks

yes let me look for the guide
EDIT:
Quick Settings Label
SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\layout\quick_settings.xml
Look for:
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" android:gravity="center_vertical"
in the textcolor= change the "ff000000" to "00000000" (-zero not o)
