Change the carrier name?
Would love to know how to do this as well! I read yesterday somewhere on here that you would have to decompile/recompile the framework after editing the carrier name but thats currently out of my league. Maybe someone can help out by creating a flashable zip that fixes it but I'm not sure if thats possible considering all the different rom/theme configurations out there.
I'm running RandomRom 2.2.1 Phoenix/Genocide 1.0 with zanderman112's Epi-sense theme that I just flashed yesterday and currently loving my setup with zanders theme. The only thing I would like to do now is change my carrier name to say Sprint. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Res/values/strings.xml
Change line 286.

I'm thinking he's looking for this so he can run sprint apps on a cooked rom. For this to work it would have to modify the resources.asrc in the framework-res.apk.

Maybe a how to video lol. Since I am not sure I understand what everyone is talking about I probably won't be able to do it myself.

Gotta have at least apkmanager with resources set up to even attempt this. Then you need to know how to edit xml,and how to get those changes into the framework. Probably 2 or 3 videos might get you through it.

I see all these custom ROM's out there for the Epic 4g. What software do these people use to create there own ROM's. The best I can do with some one else ROM is the ability to change the boot animation and shutdown animation using 7zip. I'm kind of a noob to this stuff, but I can figure just about anything out.
I have seen ROM Kitchen but i would like something i can use without web access. So if there is any software out there that i can use please let me know. Also a URL link would be nice to. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help.
smali, baksmali, 7zip, notepad++, custom roms are wayyy to easy to make.

How can i change my banner from Sprint to my name without using CDMA workshop? I know TSM parts did it, but i want to know what file i can edit or something to get the same effect. Thanks
CDMA workshop limits the number of characters.
Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe its in the twframework.apk. In an xml under layout. I don't have a recompiled version with me to look at the xmls.

I am rooted with Mortify ROM right now, but I keep getting a system update message. It only gives me the options to install it now or later. Will this screw up my phone, cause it is working fantastic for once and I don't want to have to go through a whole mess to make it work again.
TIA
It won't screw it up. It will fail, and then you will do a battery pull and restart it. It will, however, continue to pop up several times a week until you use the search to find the permanent solution.
(Hint: its several posts down and titled something like "running clean GB and prompted to update to FC09).

The permanent fix is to modify your build.prop to reflect you have fc09 instead of fb15 fc09 is the latest ota that's why your getting that notification. I will link you the how to. But to do it you use terminal emulator and follow the commands.

even if you dont upgrade your android version, you still might want to think about updating your modem via odin.

flastnotes, the problem is that, alot of threads on this site are scattered all over the place. so for a new persion to figure out how to find a specific thread or so, is actually kind of difficult.

And that's why there is a search feature.... AND GOOGLE! Sorry but that's not an excuse for me... I have been a member since, what, october? When I first signed up at xda you didn't see me posting the same things over and over again... whether its general or development, you should still search... if you have a question, I can almost guarantee you it has been asked/answered already! Bottom line....... SEARCH BEFORE POSTING!!!

LMAO!! Now that is comedy!
Don't know if its been asked, but a quick search showed no 100% answer. Is there a way to get Mads 10-Lock Mod over here working properly for FC09? Honestly anything up to date would be fine doesn't have to be FC09 only. Just curious as to if there was something in the works or if someone could point me in the right direction to do it myself? That was such a good MOD shouldn't let it die away like that

I took computer programming in college... too bad I didn't retain most of the things I learned... we worked mostly with java and c++
So I just switched over to the gsm play store galaxy nexus from an epic 4g touch and I love the phone so far paired straight talk at&t and cm10 for the OS.
I have one question though, does anyone know where in the framework-res.apk the strings for the carrier name in status bar are stored. I usually like to have mine say my name but right now it just says home. On my cdma epic touch it was in xml/eri.xml but that doesnt seem to be the case so does anyone know which file contains the carrier name strings for this phone?
No one has any idea?

I've asked that question before, no one answered lol...
Not really a big deal for me but if it is for you, flash a different ROM?

Any luck with this brooksyx? I have the same issue...
Nothing yet. I decompiled the framework.jar and started looking through the different .smali files and still no luck. I also tried editing the spn-conf.xml no luck either. I really want the carrier to be my name but I would settle for straight talk. Right now it just says home.
