Change the H to 4G - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I have a Galaxy Nexus bought from Google Play and I absolutly love it. I'm using it on Tmobile and it displays an H icon for HSPA+
I know that I can easily root it and install a rom, but I perfer not to. I simply just want to change the H icon to 4G WITHOUT rooting.
Is there any way to do this?

without root, no you cant.

Get a post it note and write 4g in the corner where the glue is and then cut it out and sick it over the H.
Otherwise root.

No you need root. And if you did root and you did change it, it'd affect your future OTAs

Would I need to install a custom rom to change it?

No. All you have to do is open up SystemUI.APK and go into drawable-xhdpi and replace two images of "3G"

Can I change "E" to "LTE" and get faster speed?
Otherwise, what's the point?

OK let's say I did root, can I just use the existing 4G icon that's built in and simply designate it to show up for T-Mobile?

Yes you can just rename the icons and they'll show up. There's plenty of flashable zips to do this too. You're not the first one to want this.
But once you start editing things you won't get OTAs to install properly anymore... editing things that aren't meant to be edited messes with that stuff.
Why not just leave it as "H"? You know what it is. Just leave it.

PC36100 instead of Evo

After completing full root and nand unlock, my Evo no longer calls itself an Evo... If I go to menu > settings > about phone > phone identity, it is called PC36100. This is also true when going through the initial setup wizard(adding gmail accts, etc) it refers to itself as a PC36100. I realize this doesn't really affect the usage of the phone, but I find it very annoying... Is there a way to correct/prevent this? Or is it an unavoidable side effect of rooting with the current methods?
This is normal, and is the same for stock.

Does it even display as an Evo in a stock rom? As far as I'm concerned, it's a PC36100. I'd rather see the model name than the marketed name.

As I stated above, it shows PC36100 on stock EVO. It's normal.

Can You Help Me Out With My Evo Issues?!
I Have No Android Market At All In My Phone. And I Have Rooted It With CM6, After I Did That I Had Flashed The Google Add Ons, And Nothing!! My Messaging Wouldn't Work, Internet Wouldn't Work, And Most Importantly, No Android App Market. So I Then Immediately Format Everything So It Was Stock, And Now I Still Have No App Market, Youtube, Sprint Football... (etc.) I Know I've Tried Different Rooting Methods Before For My HTC Evo, So Could Some Of Them Being On My SD Card Have Some Sort Of Effect With The Whole No App Market Deal..? Also, Can You Please Tell Me How To Fix This Issue? Thanks So Much!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] H symbol to 3g and h+ symbol to 4g?

Does anyone know how to do this?
Like instead of H it shows 3g.
And for a modded H+ ui it shows 4g.
Can someone do this and put up the systemui apk or a mod?
Thanks!

Rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip, then do it yourself...
It's just a matter of renaming files if your current ROM have the H+ addition..
As far as i know, Stock ROM doesn't have it..

Show HSPA+ as 4G

Hello
How can I make my Note II to show on the signal indicator "4G" instead of "H+" (when I'm on HSPA+ of course).
I thought replacing the images, but I couldn't find them. Also, I'm using Simplistic Framework so I guess there could be some problems with that.
Thanks!

IMO replacing the icon is the simpliest method.
It is located in SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi/stat_sys_data_connected_h_plus.png

Has anyone tried out the Download Booster?

I noticed a toggle in the toggles menu called download booster. It enables both the wifi radio and the LTE radio to work together to gain additional speed when downloading files over 30mb. It's pretty slick.
Check it out if you haven't
Yep, I'm using it from day one and it's pretty slick!

I think you just pull down the notification bar and you'll see in the notification shade the wifi/4G bars signifying the speed its pulling from each source to download the item.

OIC. Thank you.
curious
Does anyone know if there is a torrent client that works with this feature? I've tried searching for one with no luck... maybe there is one that emulates this feature
When it kicks in, there will be a notification on screen that tells you its working.
Then during the transfer there will be a notification in the drop down menu..
It seems like it only works during certain types of transfers.. like web downloads and such. It doesnt kick in during an ookla speed test.

It only works for files over 30 mb. then you'll see a different icon show up in your status bar. Also if you pull down your notifications , you will see the wifi and LTE speeds in a bar graph kinda thing

Was wondering this myself. We would need to know how it's determining the file size. I bet once we get root, that's one of the first things that get changed , always on DL booster lol

I have dropbox sync on and I upload a lot of videos to youtube, for those situations it's great. But ya, torrent would be nice. It's simply a matter of convincing the phone that whatever is being downloaded is larger than 30mb.

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

I tried that explorer after your message I could see the Cocktail Ssysrem apk but it doesn't list any individual widgets. (Image attached).
Phone is full of sk telecom apps.
Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???
you're really not missing anything with the twitter app it only shows trending terms with it had your timeline

I think it's something called Cocktail bar apk. I posted a screenshot on page 1. I'm not 100% if the edge panel apps are there though?

Can someone please create another quick access panel? I have the AT&T version, and it would be great to have another quick access panel.

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.
