Help to change somethin' - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need help to know how to change the mobile-work name T-Mobile to other words.
Could anyone know the way plz?

Think you change the build prop file in the main file system.
You need root to edit this.

You mean in your lockscreen and status bar, there reads "T-Mobile" and you wanna change it to something else? Sure! As said above you need to be rooted, if you are, download this app and your ready to go.
Also there is an option in CyanogenMod rom(7.2 and later I believe) to change the carrier name.

If you are talking about what I think you are - there is a thread located here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872222
It is obviously a little more work than just changing what it says, but it can be done.
Yup I used mystery's guide to change mine.
If you have the AOSP Lock screen mod it also shows up on there.

Android date format

How can i change HH.MM into HH:MM ?
Or where is that file located in the rom ?
I could grab that one from another rom.
Thanks.

A you talking about the date or time format since your stated HH:MM? Anyways, go into settings, scoll to date & time, at the bottom of the list in date&time, you should see "Select date format". Change it to any of the available formats listed.
Oh, my bad. I meant time not date.
Statusbar clock is showing the time with single dot not colon as it's supposed to.
I've already spent too much time on finding answer for this, nobody just doesn't care to answer even if they would know.

What phone model do you have? If I knew then maybe I could get an app to fix it. A custom rom should help, but I still need to know the model to find one which would.
Im using ZTE Blade.
At the moment im using Swedish Spring RLS4 and kallt_kaffe fixed that into this rom, but after i flashed Gingerbread theme into this the clock is now showing HH.MM.
I've already tried to ask kallt_kaffe, but he never replied.
So the file must be in the framework.apk, right ?

Most likely it is a bug in the theme since it happened after you installed the theme. Try removing the theme and installing a different one. You could try an ADW Gingerbread theme and see if that works. Hope it does.

Same thing happens if i use older or newer release from Swedish Spring.
And it did work before i flashed that theme, but i don't know if there's different Gingerbread themes available.

Try the one attached.
I know that i can use ADW themes, but it doesn't change the statusbar.
I found that file which has that info on it, but how do i get it into my fone.
I decompiled framework.apk and it is in framework-res.apk\res\values-fi-rFI\strings.
I want to use this Gingerbread theme http://www.mediafire.com/?lfui6wwp6u1fevb on my blade, so how do i get it into that ?

even if they use the same version "LPG" ??
even if... because most critical (system dependent) apks need to be compiled to match the same framework from your ROM. Maybe it would help if you ask any modders/developers in your rom if they can do what you want from another rom.
But hey... you never know lol. Why don't you try it and see. First, and ALWAYS, make a nandroid backup of your rom... that way you can always return how it was before - in case things get all fuxxors

Can The Carrier Name Be Changed?

As the title suggests, is there anyway to change what the carrier name says on the lock screen and on the drop down notification window? I've searched around but can't find a lot.
Thanks.

No I don't think so mate.
The carrier name is set by your network values.
So if your on "Orange" for example, there is no way for you to change it to say "O2".
I'm using Leedroid V6.4.0, and in the Tweaks section I can change the carrier caption or hide the carrier name
yeah you can on viper rom as well, just use venom tweaks to change it
can even add the carrier logo if you wanted

[Q] Flashable icons of galaxy s II problems?

Hi everybody.. i've downloaded here a long time ago this .zip file flashable via stock recovery with the galaxy s II official icons replacement.
Now, after reinstalling the stock i want to reflash these icons. But some are fine, and some are not changing.
The app drawer icons (4 dots) and the phone icon changed also some others... but the sms icons or the contacts didn't.
Why? thanks!

names of the files may be different and thus some icons dont get changed
