How do I change the "sprint" word at on a vanilla lockscreen?

Just looking to change the "Sprint" word on the top right of the lockscreen to something else. I'm sure there's any easy way for this dumb question.

Yep, thank you. I'll try that shortly.

Lawlz, glad to know you got it working.

Yeah it was easy. I just prefer terminal over adb. Mainly cause adb reminds me of root and root reminds me of bricks lol. Never bricked anything except a window but I still dread it lol.

I don't know if the stock android browser supports it, but in Dolphin Browser or Opera you can download any type of file. You can use something like file expert to open the zip file.

OP just stated downloading. Stock browser on EI22 works fine for that. Miren stopped working for some reason though.

i'm with the OP.. i've never had good luck consistently getting .zip files to download. Most the time they'll go to start, hang for a min, then fail. tried stock browser, and a couple others. doesn't seem to matter what rom I'm using either.

This has been working fine for me since EH17 when it got fixed. I download full ROMs with no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I've never experienced any issues downloading any files, let alone zip files, using multiple browsers. I'm currently using a blacked out version of Dolphin mini (ty Starsky's rom) and have yet to have an issue still. I usually use Root Explorer to move the file to the folder of my choice, and I guess roms take a bit longer than most files (size) but never any issues. Good luck!

What ROM are you on?

I think it's the file host some of the rom devs use, or possibly his router. For certain roms, downloading over wifi fails no matter what I do, and I end up using 3G.(unlimited plan, 150mb is nothing)

[Q] help new to this and galaxy s2 tmo

hey,
well title says it all, i got directed to come to xda for help. ive had smartphones but never have done or seen a phone rooted. i just picked up the gs2 coming from sensation and my hotspot is now locked down to having to pay 15 a month. was told by rooting you pickup free hotspot and sometimes paid apps. can someone provide me with download links and instructions step by step so i dont mess up my phone. thanks in advance.
ps its the t989 gs2
also i wwant to delete all these garbage bloatware apps always running to

Check the stickies in the general section. i think there's a thread in the development section too.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Just a heads up. Its against the forum rules to ask for paid apps for free. Not trying to be a jerk or anything.

I found that the method mentioned in the stickies in the Dev section pretty clear and straightforward, its noob friendly unlike the MTG4G which are a great mess. Once rooted, install titanium backup and freeze/delete the tethering manager app and you should be able to tether for free. You can get free apps while being on stock........
The link for free apps is in there somewhere, find it

I thought he meant he can now use paid apps that require root... Ahem right?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I'm not asking for free paid apps..was just mentioning the perks some one told me about rooting...I basically want the hot spot
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

ok so i figured out the root...just used the volume key long press and installed supreruser and odin 1.85 and titanium pro. now that i,m here how do i installl roms? this being my first time at this was wrecking my brain getting to this point any tips an advice on which roms would be appreciated. ty

Go to the dev section. Download a rom. Flash it in recovery.

Here it is
To flash the kernel:
-Boot into recovery
-Wipe Cache
-Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Install zip from SD Card
-Reboot and let it sit for a few minutes for the OS to load up completely (about 5 minutes should suffice)
-Reboot once more and install SetCPU which can be found in the Market for $1.99 or free here
Once installed open it up and AutoDetect Speeds and then select form the drop down menu SmartassV2 and you should be set
Did you find the ICS theme?

im sorry im new to this... did first root and flash yesterday...i did odiin then flashed the file on juggernaut in dev section.... to i need to do this kernel to? or is it just like a add on to go with it? also whats a good overclock setting?

A kernel is pretty much the main computing core of an operating system. If you're using the one that came with Jug's rom, you will experience some lag and random reboots. Eugenes kernel gives you better performance and battery life (if you wanna think about it that way). Just flash it, you wont regret it.
It's not hard at all either, pretty much the same process as flashing a ROM but instead you flash another zip file.

do i only need to wipe those cache? and not a full wipe as when i flashed the rom?

Correct. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot then wait like 5-10 mins then reboot again

If the only thing you wabt to do is tether, then (only if u jave a 5gig or more plan) you can call tmo and they have a promotion going on right now that will give u tethering for free. Just give them a call, in the auto system say plans, then hit 0 and tell the rep about the promotion.

[Q] Apps stuck downloading?

Im on CM9 Kang, also on the kernal that came with it. My apps auto update, and so I see gmail and quickpic updating. But it was kinda odd because it was still downloading the updates 3 hours later(wifi not being the problem). I even tried downloading angry birds, and it was stuck on "starting download". I have like 6 apps that are waiting in queue for updating, but its just sits there. Amazon market works perfect, so its something wrong with the play store im assuming. Anyone know a fix for this?

Its in most of the posts regarding cm9 and aokp, open terminal emulator, type su hit enter then type killall drmserver

Hey, this is just a general play question though.. anyone know why when you hit all apps auto update . There is still one or two that need to be manually updated? (THIS MEANS YOU FLASH AND ACROBAT READER!!!) That's with gb and ics.. no big deal really, but it is just something I always wondered.

Like I flash a new rom. When I open market I select auto update all apps. Nearly every app updates itself, but there is always one or two that say they news to be done manually . When I go to update it manually though, the box for auto update is selected.. just weird

That means on a regular update it will. Just happens that that particular update changes permissions so must be done manually

[PORTED] SIII Task Manager (UPDATED 07/15) - ICS ONLY

Galaxy SIII Task Manager
Updated 07/15 - Updated/Signed/Zipalign'd APK - Rehosted -
#INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK - I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS#
#PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY#
#ICS ONLY#
Ladies and Gentleman,
I present to you a working port of the Galaxy SIII's Task Manager. It's not much different than the T989's stock, but it looks better and seems to perform better.
WILL NOT WORK WITH:
Stock mods such as InFamous or Darkside. Generally, anything that came with the SII's task manager preinstalled.
With these ROMs it installs but will not close apps or clear memory for some reason. Still working on finding cause.
Works with:
AOKP, AOPK, CWM9 Nightlies, Vanilla, and all mods of these.
Prereq:
Must be rooted
Must be running ICS
You might need Root Explorer of the first installation method does not work
Installation:
1.) Download SIII Task Manager Signed/Zipaligned APK
2.) Install like any other APK.
3.) Reboot
4.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
Optional Installation (if above doesn't work)
1.) Use Root Explorer and mount R/O
2.) Move APK file to system/app
3.) Rename to TaskManager.apk
4.) Set Permissions as rw-r--r--
XXO
XOO
XOO
5.) Reboot
6.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
This new port was done by me directly from my SIII.

it does indeed work on DSv7 just installed no freezing either follow instructions and you should be fine, be sure to change the original jobmanager file extention to .bak you dont have to remove it, then import the gs3 apk
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

You might experience a slight battery drain issue or apps not closing upon End Task being pressed on certain builds. If that happens, you can delete the JobManager.apk and rename the old JobManager.bak to Jobmanager.apk and reboot.
Still determining the cause, but on AOKP and CM9 Nightly this works fine. It seems to only affect InFamous at this time. I couldn't duplicate the error in Darkside3v7.
I'll come back with a fix. And it only happens every *now* and then and rebooting fixes it. Just enough annoying to be considered a bug.

Can you, or anyone having this issue, run Darkside cache wipe from recovery, come back and let me know if it fixed it?
I think it may be a cache issue of old data from the older version. With AOKP/AOSP/CM9 there is are no versions installed by default therefore its not running into any issues on those ROMs, just certain times on InFamous so far. I don't have my Dev T989 with me or I would test it post darkside cache wipe myself.

I must be doing something wrong but i followed instructions to the T and still have stock task manager...or does this not come up while holding the home key? Do you have to enter maually through the app itself?
Edit: NVM you have to access through app drawer and yes i got it working. Thanks for the port :good:
