Change "Sprint" banner and in "Status" - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there a way to change the provider name in the banner and under settings and status? Pretty sure it can be done, just don't know how, thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy S II using XDA App

It is inside of framework-res.apk
decompile and go to res\values\strings.xml
search for sprint I think it is in there like 3 times. Change to what you would like.
recompile and put it back on your phone.

Thank you very much , now to figure out how to decompile APKs lol

I use apk manager or apktool. The line you want to change is <string name="zz_roamingText1">Sprint</string> change the "Sprint" to whatever you want.

Because he doesnt want people to know he is cheap cuz his Galaxy S 2 is on Sprint. (Just guessin)
Sent from my Galaxy S Two Epic Four G Touch Becky Becky-Stan

I cant find that please help I wanna do this too

Maybe he wants to scam someone that this phone is on the Verizon network and then sell this

Tell em it a Straight Talk phone. One of a kind.

When I change the strings and recompile, I either get the '!' in the batter meter or the screen goes blank after the bootanim. I've recompiled plenty of stuff and normally don't have any problems. I half know what's causing it I think, but I need a little help. When using apkmanager to compile it, I tell it it's a system app and let it copy over unchanged files. Since I'm changing an xml I know have to delete the resources.arsc and xml that I changed from the 'keep folder'. Problem is the res/values/ folder doesn't exist in the 'keep' folder.
Any ideas how to compile it properly?

Is that directory not in unnamed?

Go to framework-Res / XML / eri.sprintxml
Line 41 & 65 is were edit will need to be made.
Line 41 - <EriInfo RoamingIndicator="99" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Sprint"
Change Sprint text seen above to what ever you want displayed....I Recommend "UnNamed"
Do the same in line 65
After edits pack up framework-res apk into cwm flash zip make it available to all
I would but I'm to damn lazy lol

Can't you download spare parts and do it?

Is located inside your system/framework and is the file called framework-res.apk
Crack it open by renaming it to a zip (figure that one out yourself) and then look inside the contents and find the folder called drawable-hdpi (sometimes is called drawable-hdpi-v4) but you get the point.....then it should be towards the bottom of all the .png
Don't know the exact name of the file but play around with it, you might pick up a thing or two...lol...Good Luck and don't forget to hit the Thanks button if I helped you out!
[EDIT]
If you're on Gingerbread, then it might be in the SYSTEMUI.apk app. Do the same thing, rename it to a zip....crack it open and find the folder drawable-hdpi.....you should recognize it when you see it! Oh and if you don't know, the SystemUI.apk is located in the system/app directory.....
I have a great amount of exp. Opening up apes. I just need the exact names.
Thanks anyways though.

Check this thread...if you have the stock framework you will have to edit the xml file. If the frameworks is from someone else's theme - they may have already made the edit and you can just swap out the png.

How to switch battery icons from one theme to another?

How do I pull the battery icon out of one theme and then place it in a different one? Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Copy and Paste
Open both zip files (do not extract), go to system>framework - open framework-res, go into res>drawable-hdpi - select the battery icons you want and copy them into your other zip in the exact same spot. They will overwrite the ones that are there. Save the zips and you should be good to go.
If the xml files of the battery you want to use are different then the ones in the theme you are using, it will not display properly, but if they are the same, you should be ok.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Is it possible to pull everything out of the theme other than the battery, and then flash just to battery on top of the current theme i'm using?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
In short, no... because you are replacing framework-res, it will replace all the images. The bestway to get the battery is to find one you like and copy and paste it to the theme zip.
If you were to remove all the other images and flash it, I imagine there would be a whole hot of problems.

Tell me which icon set you want into what theme you are using. It's not hard if you know what you are doing. I can do it for you once I have both sets of files. Will take about 10 mins if both framework's are the same. More problems if the charge icons 9,10 or 20 vs the 100 I use in my theme.
Holy crap, I actually did it, and it works... At least I think it does, I'll have to wait and see if I missed any...
Thanks for the help, and the offer to do the work for me!

"res" is the name of the directory inside of the apk. Open .xml files with something like Notepad++ and open .png files with Photoshop or GIMP. Of course you can just view them with the Windows Photo Viewer but that doesn't allow you to edit them very much at all.

Actually there is what about 204 battery pngs to move on most 1% battery mods.
Take about a whole minute to highlight em all, and drag and drop them from one ROM zip to another ROM zip.
Make sure you grab all 204 or you will end up with a screwy looking charging animation or something else in the battery mod at some point

Yes they are all in the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder.
They will be named...
stat_sys_battery_xx.png (these are the non charging images)
stat_sys_battery_charge_animxx.png (these are the charging images)
Really wont matter if you grab the unknown battery image... Just make sure you have all the normal and charging images and you should be fine.

|MOD|NavigationBar|ICS

-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk​
Thanks!

Theme Help, Looking for PNG Location

I have been trying to find this image and cannot. In the screen shot I am trying to take the progress bar you see in green and go blue with it. I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.

			
				
try secdownloadprovider.apk
Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.
Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?
Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?
My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

[Q][THEME]Clock Color Change-SOLVED

SOLVED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28637381&postcount=16
Before you start! Yes, I know this is easy... That's why I've been pulling my hair out for the last 6 hours trying to get this to work. I've tried just about everything I can think of - altering framework-res holo_blue to point to another color; when that didn't work, I moved to SystemUI and changed styles.xml - that had no effect either. I've referenced and searched just about every thread that contains any and all information regarding this (including the Theme sticky) all to no avail...
After multiple different tries, I wound up with the 'no status or nav bar' problem, and just restored out of frustration.
Common Problems - "Did you try..."
1 - Did you try loading the framework from your current ROM?
Yep
2 - Did you get any errors compiling?
No sir.
3 - Are you sure you copied the resources.arsc, /res, and classes.dex files to the ORIGINAL apk, then pushed?
I did, indeed. Pushed fine with no result.
4 - Did you try clearing dalvik-cache?
Yeah - same thing.
5 - Did you update SKD?
4.1 ftw!
6 - Sounds like you need to do a fullwipe and start from scratch... Including building the .apk over again
Tried that as well - nothing positive
7 -OMG! This gets asked every 10 minutes, USE SEARCH!
I couldn't agree more... See below for reference threads. I've tried everything I can think of, and still nothing is changing.
7 - It's probably a compile issue - Noob:
You might be right, and you're welcome to try.
I've decomplied and recomplied without issues in the past - am I missing something? I have some semi-experience with themeing, but for whatever reason I just cannot get this clock color to change.. Does anyone want to give this a try if I send you my SystemUI.apk?
I appreciate the help.

Change holo_blue_light from 33b5e5 to your hex code of choice. Recompile.

Tried that - had no effect. I am starting from scratch now and will attempt your suggestion first.

That should have done it.... that has always done it. That's weird... you've also tried the other option... changing android:textcolor android: color/holo_blue_light ? To white or a hex code?

Changed frameworks color xml, recompilied - now bootlooping....
Changed SystemUI's styles.xml - clock to <item name="android:textColor">#ffa6a6a6</item> - nothing.
Even tried adding a parameter to status_bar.xml in SystemUI, no go.
On the framework did you use the apk in the dist folder? Or take the res folder and put it in the original apk in your rom?

Took the original apk, added res and resources from build, pushed that.
Try changing it in the Styles XML in systemui. Then copy the androidmanifest XML and meta-inf folder NOT the resources. I think the problem is the resources contain the stock color. Try it and let me know

Wait your adb pushing? Not flashing?

Yeah - just pushing back to /system/framework then adb reboot

Working on this now.
Flash it... I wouldn't recommend just pushing these things... I always flash them. If you need a flashable I can get you one.

I think I have one - but just so I can rule out any possible fault, if you don't mind posting, I would appreciate it.
Download this http://d-h.st/gmY delete the framework-res in it and replace it with yours. Then flash it and see if it works.

What are you decompiling and building with? I have nothing but grief trying to get apktool to work

Why don't you recommend pushing them? I do it all the time. Its the quickest way to check if something worked for me or not

Holy crap balls. You sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and all around champion. Incoming donation.
Exact same framework and zipping did the trick. I've ALWAYS pushed, I wonder if JB changed something around?

I'm with you there, I've ALWAYS pushed without any issue. But exact same file, zipped did the trick.
...I seriously wasted an entire day at work trying to change just the clock color. The other stuff took...30mins? iFail.
Thank you again ÜBER™

:highfive: glad it worked! Its probably because permissions dont get set when just pushing... unless your chmod it. And flashing seems to do this automatically, when it "android is up grading" its fixing permissions i assume.
