HOW TOO: Change Carrier Name Using Root Explorer (or similar app)
For those who wanted to know here is a nice and easy way to change carrier name for the time being until custom ROMS come out with the option built in.
-Must Have Root
-Must have a file explorer such as Root Explorer to have access to System Files
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MODS SUCH AS THIS!
also note: i am not taking credit for this mod as it is the same mod that was used on ICS to change carrier name for ROMs such as CM9.
credit goes to belair56 for letting me know how to get this done on this original post. I have just simplified instructions a bit.
STEPS For people who already have "Verizon Wireless" showing up:
1) Download Carrier.zip file i have attached and extract "spn-conf.xml" onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.
2) Open "spn-conf.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit the words that you see below in red to whatever you want to display instead of Verizon Wireless.
3) Save "spn-conf.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "spn-conf.xml" from your SD card to "System/etc" directory.
5) Reboot, and Enjoy!
STEPS For people with "T-CDMA 64" showing up:
1) Download T-CDMA 64.zip file i have attached and extract "eri.xml" onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.
2) Open "eri.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit the words that you see below in red to whatever you want to display instead of Verizon Wireless.
3) Save "eri.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "eri.xml" from your SD card to "/data" directory.
5) Reboot, and Enjoy!
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<spnOverrides>
<spnOverride numeric="310004" spn="[COLOR="Red"]Verizon Wireless[/COLOR]" />
<spnOverride numeric="310005" spn="[COLOR="red"]Verizon Wireless[/COLOR]" />
<spnOverride numeric="310012" spn="[COLOR="red"]Verizon Wireless[/COLOR]" />
<spnOverride numeric="311480" spn="[COLOR="red"]Verizon Wireless[/COLOR]" />
</spnOverrides>

BRING ON ALL THE COOL MODS FOR JB!!!!
However, before a slew more MODS start pouring out....I'm quite sure MODS should be posted in the Themes and Apps forum.

Didn't seem to work for me. After a reboot, it sat at the Google screen for a while. I pulled the battery, booted back up and now I'm still at CDMA 64. Any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing.
Any special permissions to set? Not working on mine. I just left as is (Verizon Wireless). Moved to system/etc via Root Explorer ....rebooted and still the same.

No, I left Verizon Wireless in the spn.xml file. I didn't change the writing. But when I add it to system/etc and then reboot, my phone still says T-CDMA64.
Put a eri.xml file in /data, reboot, enjoy seeing "Verizon Wireless"

1) Where do I find this eri.xml file....
2) There is no /data in the one and only JB ROM for VZW.
Do I pull/find this eri.xml file in another ROM perhaps? Do I then create a /data folder in the root of the ROM?

Idk where to find it, but you are mistaken, there is a /data directory. I think you are trying to look for it in /system if so you wont find it there.
You kids are doing it wrong!
Take the "spn-conf" file in the OP and rename it to "eri" (no quotations of course). Paste the file under /data and reboot. It works, promise.

Yep, sure did. I was T-CDMA 64 for a few hours today before I changed it . I'm not sure why it was different for me than it was for you, but I was always under the impression that this info was pulled from /data instead of /system/etc, but I guess every model is different!?

Heres the droidx bootanimation. Use it like u wud a regular 2.0+ bootanimation, so push to /system/media/

1. Cropped
2. Resized

4. Compress the png's (Saved ~2mb)

Theres a few png's in the droid incredible animation that look really bad if u dont make it full resolution 320x480. But when u do, it looks bad cuz the image is stretched. Im talking about the images where the flash is at its fullest. So i removed those and created a smooth transition between them. Here try this one more suited for our devices. Btw both this and previous have been sharpened, cuz it was blury.
Pushed this to froyo on my G1 and it looks amazing ;D Thanks a lot
Thanks Donsheem, it looks really nice. Much better then ugly boot on froyo.
realy smooth. now do the droidX LW i cannot find it anywhere :|

dude this is beast!! but i didn't push it to /system/media/.. i just followed the Six6Slicks method:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
and it worked fine.. either way, nice boot animation
Thanks man! This is one of the best I have seen!
Is there anyway you can get the droid incredible red eye boot screen? The new OTA for that phone gave it that boot animation.
Thanks once again!

I made a splash screen for the g1 and Mytouch 3G, Mytouch fender, Mytouch 1.2, and 32A magic.
It is the droid x eye at the full flash. I made it, and flashed it using fastboot and it works perfectly and looks great. If you want, here is a link.

If you want anymore splash screens from the boot animations posted in this thread, just ask me.
Hey there,
That boot is pretty sick. I have a question/request.
I was wondering if there was anyway to pull the audio file, the "droid" part, from that and use it with a different animation. I'm using scribble with the Cyanogen circle now, it's neat.
When I first got CM5.0.8 and rebooted I got this wac "office phone ring" thing goin on when it boots. I'd really like to replace that with something cool lol. Hell even an R2D2 scream would be better that that damn ring.
If possible that would be great! If not then panda will be sad
Thanks in advance!

Should be possible, just download the droidx dump (dont know if any exist anymore) and extract the audio file from /system/media/ and push it to ur phone.

Thank you.
Seems easy enough. I am new to this game, I assume this would be done through sdk or would android commander work. As for the dump...I've no idea where to start looking for that. I'll start with google search.
I the process to do this is in sdk, just use the norm sdk commands?
Sorry for the 20 questions but I want to make sure I do it right.
Again thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

make sure the file is named boot.mp3
I would use AndroidCommander because you can't use normal adb commands to push things into system
or use the terminal. put boot.mp3 onto the root of your sdcard, and go into terminal
su
#cp /sdcard/boot.mp3 /system/media/
that should work.

K so file is named and good to go, followed the path you gave and no luck I still have the ugly ringing sound when it boots. Any Ideas?
Boot up/down tone
____________________________________________________________________
After some research and a good recommendation from Firerat @Cyanogenmod forums, I was able to do it. The ring I was hearing was a SD card notification. Turns out if you really want to you can put whatever sound, song, byte, etc. you want in there you just have to do a little converting.
This is how I did it.
1. Downloaded this: FlicFlac
2. Install, like 5 secs
3. Open FlicFlac, select convert to OGG
4. click on the big box that says select file
5. Pick ur MP3 or whatever audio file it is, and...BAM! u have conversion
Now I used Android Commander to place the file in the directory, /system/media/audio/notifications
You can prolly ADB push that as well.
Reboot and there you have it. New "boot sound" lol. (of course you need to go into notification sounds ((Settings > Sound & Display > Notification Ringtone)) and select your newly created .ogg file for it to work)
Hope you like.

Yea I already had that one. It was the bootanimation I had before I set it to yours. But it's not the same as your version.
droid sound
Can't seem to get the audio to work on boot. took the file out of the droid x dump (bootup.ogg) file. Have tried to cp from terminal with ubers instructions to no avail. No matter what i name it i get a cannot create message. Read only system file or something like that. Also tried with file managers. Says cannot move. Is there a remount code or something im missing? Bootanimation.zip worked great. Cp it do /data/local. Looks awesome. Thanks

Hey, I don't know if this will help or not but I kinda cheated I guess. I was banging my head on that same question. Most replies I got were there aren't any sounds with boot screens yadda, yadda. At any rate I just took the .ogg file, that you already have, and placed it in the
/system/media/audio/notifications folder. I used Android Commander to do it to bypass any access, insufficient privilege issues. Once that is done and you reboot you can select the new sound from the system sounds. Have sd notifications on and that's how I got mine to work.
Hope it helps and if I'm way off base, sorry.
See the original thread posted by britoso for details but thought you guys might like a fresh post here with details specific to our SGS2:
[APP][ROOT] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling, Now wifi optional!
Initially installed talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip via root explorer as per I2asta's post but the other party could not see my video in their chat. So, installed the suggested "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" to /system/app location (root explorer), rebooted and video is now working both ways!!
Update - A little guide as suggested by nasgilani!
Notes
- Root Explorer is a paid app, tried & tested! There are free alternatives out there but use at your own peril...
- I'll be using the updated gapps and the files therein for this guide. If you want to use an alternative version e.g. nowifi, download that one and use in the instructions instead.
- After performing this mod you will probably have to setup your Google Account again... and possibly reboot a second time to resolve any quirks.
Steps
1. Download the Full Google Apps from 20110503 which includes the updated GTalk
2. Extract the following files from the zip and place them somewhere easily accessible on your phone's SDcard:
/system/app/Talk.apk
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
/system/lib/libtalk_jni.so
3. Open up Root Explorer and goto your extracted files
4. Long Click on Talk.apk and rename to Talk2.apk
5. Long Click on Talk2.apk and copy it, then navigate to /system/app
6. Press Mount R/W at the top right so it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fig. 1 - Mount R/W to write files to this system folder
7. Click on the Paste button to paste it here
8. Long Click on Talk.apk and rename it to Talk.apk1
Fig. 2 - You should now have both talk2.apk and talk.apk1 as shown above
9. Long Click on Talk2.apk and select permissions
Fig. 3 - Permissions should be as above
10. Alter the permissions to the same as Fig. 3 above and OK it
11. Now navigate back to your extracted files and rename GoogleServicesFramework.apk to something like GoogleServicesFramework2.apk and then Copy it.
12. Navigate to system/app and then Paste it here
13. Rename the original GoogleServicesFramework.apk to GoogleServicesFramework.apk1
14. Now you can Rename the new GoogleServicesFramework2.apk to GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Fig. 4 - Now you should have 2 GoogleServicesFramework files
15. Long Click on the new GoogleServicesFramework.apk and alter the permissions to the same as shown in Fig. 3 above and then OK it
16. Navigate back to your extracted files again and Copy libtalk_jni.so
17. Then navigate to /system/lib and press Mount R/W
18. Paste libtalk_jni.so here
19. Again, set the Permissions of libtalk_jni.so as shown in Fig. 3
20. Reboot your phone...
21. Open up Talk, click on your own avatar and make sure Allow video and voice chats is enabled
22. Test out chat to make sure audio/video is working both ways...
23. Done!
A big thanks to britoso for posting this and I2asta for the root explorer intstructions!!
Thanks for posting it mate,
I would suggest if you can make a small guide on how and what you did to enable Gtalk video enabled on SGS2
Edit: Thanks mate you made this thread alive after the Guide..

yep, I renamed it in the above instructions to Talk.apk1 and left it there just in case you wanted to revert back to the original Talk.
Just a note, lost my Google sync after installing the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and had to re-add my account in Settings to get my contacts back etc...
No issue obviously just wanted to prevent any "OMGWTFBBQ!! where have all my contacts gone?!?!?!?!" posts... lol

Sorry mate, i missed that part as i had already installed it and the only change i made was installing GoogleServicesFramework.apk as i found earlier today my mate could hear but not see me...
So that was my bad buddy, i'm sure anyone coming to this thread and reading properly will see what i missed, i just scanned it quick as i had already done most of the work...
One thing i've experienced, when switching to the Rear Camera, it cashes and I only get audio until I select Force Close... i tried this several times but on the 4th it fully crashed my phone, which took maybe 2mins to decide to reboot itself... no damage done tho...

@Dickie, I'm using talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip and I guess that jonrwg is using the one inside gapps.zip if that is any help...
What is the different between talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip and gapps.zip? Is it the same? Just curious.
Do we have this working with the front camera yet?
Does 'Talk2.apk' not need to be renamed to 'Talk.apk' between steps 9 and 10?

Samsung Galaxy S II (Skyrocket) SoftKeys
For all of us who once had a SGS2 and wants to have the same navigation keys as on that phone, or at least try it out. I always liked the menu key on it the best.
These keys are built from a high-res pic I found of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, it has Menu, Home, Search, Recent and Back.
Landscape PNG's are included.
There's no "menu" key, only "MENU_BIG", usable in AOKP.
This is now a ZipTheme/MetaMorph file. If you want to extract the files and do a systemUI.apk update instead, it can be done via this file as well.
If you plan to use my softkey-set for a themerelease, please let me know and remember to mention me in the thread.
I know this is only softkeys, but even if you find a way to make profit of these, please don't.

Big thanks to atticus182 for helping me out with an easy way to do a ZipTheme.zip.

Installation Methods (Method 1 Recommended)
Straight from your Galaxy Nexus
1. Easiest Method
*** ZipThemer *** Does not work on AOKP build 19, please try MetaMorph instead!
Download and install ZipThemer from the Market
Download a Softkey Style using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, and open up ZipThemer on your phone
If this is the first time using ZipThemer, hit the (hidden) menu key -> Hit "Update Edify" -> Hit "Browse" (pick a file that you have flashed before on your phone, like your ROM or a theme) -> Hit "Configure" -> Then hit the 'back' softkey to return to the main screen.
Click the "+Theme" button, browse to the download folder and select the .zip you have just downloaded using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, probably /sdcard/download
Click the "Build It!" button, and when it prompts if you want to make an "undo-zip", click "Always"
You will now see the output screen with the Build Log, check if everything went alright, it will show that a zip file has been created on /sdcard/
Reboot your phone to Recovery after this and flash the .zip file that is created on /sdcard/
Done! If you experience problems or want to undo the action just flash the "undo-zip" that's also located on /sdcard/
*** MetaMorph *** Does not work on ARHD, please try one of the methods below instead!
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market, open it at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done! Oh, and set a new wallpaper because it may be restored to default..
2. Advanced (Hard) Method - Edit the SystemUI.apk from your phone - thanks to bangdrum! Not working for everybody!
Download and install Root Explorer from the Market and make a Nandroid backup
Download the softkeymod you like
Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/app/, find SystemUI.apk, long press, and select extract. Go to the folder sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and make sure you have a folder that's called SystemUI
If the folder is there navigate to where you downloaded the chosen softkeymod (usually sdcard/download) and long press it. Select extract all. Go to sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and there should be a folder with the name of the softkeymod.
Click on this folder, and also on the next. Hit the menu key and press 'Multi Select'. Highlight all the images included in the folder and select 'Move' at the bottom. Navigate back to the SystemUI folder, go to SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi and 'Paste' here. A command prompt should pop up asking to replace the current images. Select 'Yes For All'
Go back to the sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted folder, long press the SystemUI folder and select 'Create ZIP'
Rename the created SystemUI.zip to SystemUi.apk and move the SystemUI.apk to your /system/app folder. Change permissions of SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--
Reboot your Galaxy Nexus (pull battery out and reboot, this is an essential step) and your softkeys will be modded!
Using your Computer
3. Manual Method - Images using Updater Script
Download THIS Updater Script
Extract the SystemUI.apk from your current ROM from /system/app
Open the SystemUI.apk with WinRAR and navigate to /res/drawable-xhdpi
Add the images you downloaded from this thread into this folder, it will overwrite the original icons
Open the downloaded updater script and drag your SystemUI.apk into the /system/app folder, replacing the current file which is just a placeholder
Flash using recovery, done!
4. Automatic Method - Images using Softkey Modder - thanks to mlbvsnba!
Download THIS Softkey Modder
Place the downloaded softkey images into the "PUT_IMAGES_HERE" folder
Connect your phone to your computer
Make sure USB debugging is enabled (located in Settings --> Developer options)
Run/Open "Create Flashable Zip.bat"
Answer yes ("y") to both transfer prompts (or transfer the zips yourself)
Flash the modded (or original) zip through CWM (a.k.a. Rom Manager) **Do NOT wipe anything!** and enjoy!

Sorry, left one, you're on your own. It might be in a SkyRocket stock image file somewhere. It's just an image I took from google to compare. So good luck, finding it, mate. Sorry I can't help you more than that.
Regarding the right one, the one I'm using, I'll still link you to blackbearblanc . dk, since this is where I found it. I can't give you something that isn't mine, when the artist is around to be found in these forums. I'd like his efforts to be seen. So browse thru his dropbox.

regular zip has been replaced by ZipThemer ready file.
hmmmm...the zipthemer file didn't work for me.
this is my first ziptheme so maybe i did something wrong, but i followed the directions in the first post and it created the 2 files. everything seemed to work just fine, flashed it in recovery (using CWM touch based recovery, maybe that has something to do with it) but nothing changed.
anyone know if ninjamorph will work? i am VERY comfortable with that app. may take a little longer, but if i know it will work, i would use that every time.

Nah, I just tried it myself.. Reflashed the image of my theme, with the normal keys in them.. And then used thst file as the build as stated.. And build it with the keys in. Update and undo zips are just fine, the systemui.apk has all images, but it doesnt replace the keys for me, neither. I will investigate further.. - Are you using a theme, mate? I'm asking you because if you do, I have an easy work around for you. PM me an answer.
Woops, I checked out Ninjamorph. And yes, if you can make it work, it should be fine. Basically you just extract the 10 images from my zip, then in Ninjamorph, navigate to system/app/systemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi and put the 10 images there. If you can do that, you're golden. I managed to open my systemUI.apk, but didn't know how to get to other things, once in there, lol. But if you know how to use the app, just put my 10 images into the drawable-xhdpi folder.

Disclaimer: Just reading this may cause your head to burst, your phone to catch fire, dogs and cats may do the tango! I am not responsible for any bad stuff that happens from you reading or acting on the information in this thread.
If any ROM authors want to use this fix in their ROMs, I'm completely cool with that. A quick kudos in your credits section would be nice, though.
Background: One of the things that really peeves me off about Sprint is that they want us to think we always have 3G service. I know that I don't have 3G in all of the areas I travel, and I also don't when I am roaming.
Thankfully, the fix is quite simple! It was a bit more difficult than the fix for HTC Sense ROMs as the smali edit was not quite as simple.
This was my primary reason for rooting my phone, that's how aggravating it is for me.
Let's change this:

Credits
Calkulin, sextape, sfhub, Other brave folks - For providing the leaked ROMs for me to fiddle with.
Calkulin - (indirectly) helped me find how to fix this for Sense ROMs which I wrote up here.
Samsung - for a relatively good phone. Hopefully the weird auto-brightness and battery life will be fixed next update.
The brave XDA members who try these instructions and report their success or failure!!!
XDA for being a great source of information!!!
XDA members for thinking outside of the box!!!
The fix:
This fix requires editing your SystemUI.apk file. If you are using one of the fine custom ROMs on XDA, be aware that the you or the author may have already made changes to the SystemUI.apk file, so using my file IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If you are using Calk's E4GT 2 v1.6 ROM, you can safely use my attached SystemUI.apk file. It may work with other "stock-ish" ROMs, but this is the one I based it on. The attachment will NOT work on stock FF18.
This mod relies on the assumption that your ROM developer has not deleted any of the 1x graphic files in the ROM. The developer CAN theme or otherwise change the images as long as the file names remain the same.
What you need to perform this mod:
1. An Epic 4G Touch ROM ZIP file, or a phone running a Epic 4G Touch ROM -- AOSP ROMs already have the correct indicators.
2. The Java SDK -- So you can run Smali.
3. Smali/Baksmali -- So you can decompile/compile the classes.dex file.
4. Android SDK -- To push/pull files from your phone (adb only).
5. Some sort of archive tool (such as WinRAR, 7zip, etc).
5. A text editor capable of editing UNIX-formatted files. I recommend Notepad++, personally.
Ease Of Use Tips: Install Java SDK first, then Android SDK (if you need adb). Download the smali files (smali-1.3.2.jar and baksmali-1.3.2.jar at the time of this writing) to a new "working" folder where we can do our magic.
KEEP A COPY OF YOUR PRE-EDITED SYSTEMUI.APK FILE, just in case!
Instructions:
1a. [If you are using a ROM ZIP File]: Use 7zip/WinRAR/WinZip to open the ROM ZIP file. Navigate to system\app and extract SystemUI.apk to your "working" folder.
1b. [If you want to grab SystemUI.apk from your running phone]: Use adb to pull SystemUI.apk to your working folder. Example: adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk C:\Working\SystemUI.apk
To avoid problems, ONLY USE adb to pull/push SystemUI.apk. Phone apps may cause unknown issues.
2. Go to a command prompt in your "working" folder and run the following command: java -jar baksmali-1.3.2.jar -o SystemUI/ SystemUI.apk
3. Browse to your "working" folder and see that there is now an SystemUI folder inside, with other subfolders. Browse to SystemUI\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy.
4. Edit the file called NetworkController.smali with your favorite UNIX-format compatible text editor and look for the following text. The key is to search for .line 751. Edit the line below that is in BOLD.
Code:
.line 751
:pswitch_e8
iget-boolean v3, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/NetworkController;->mShowAtLeastThreeGees:Z
[B]if-nez v3, :cond_103[/B]
5. Change that line to say #if-nez v3, :cond_103 (add the # at the beginning to comment it out)
6. Save NetworkController.smali
7. Go back to your command prompt, change to your "working" folder and issue the following command: java -jar smali-1.3.2.jar SystemUI/ -o newclasses.dex
8. If there weren't any errors, go ahead and rename the original classes.dex to classes.old and rename newclasses.dex to classes.dex.
9. Open SystemUI.apk in your favorite archiver (if you closed it earlier).
10. Drag the file called classes.dex from your "working" folder into SystemUI.apk and replace the one already in there.
11. Run the following commands to get the file on your phone:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell stop
adb shell start
You should hear your bootup sound and then the changes should be instantly applied.
To Test:
1. Dial ##DATA# (##3282#) on your phone.
2. Enter your MSL (can be found by typing getprop ril.MSL from Terminal Emulator or adb shell).
3. Scroll to Others at the bottom of the list.
4. Click on HDR/1X Selection
5. Change from Hybrid Mode to CDMA Only Mode. This puts your phone in 1X only mode.
6. Press OK.
7. Verify 1X icon comes within 30 seconds, if you have service.
8. Repeat steps 4-7, substituting Hybrid Mode for CDMA Only Mode to switch back.
How I found this: The files in ICS are different than Gingerbread. Looking for 1x led me to NetworkController.smali. There is a lookup called mShowAtLeastThreeGees (which I thought was hilarious). There are 6 locations that reference this boolean value. The correct one is the a couple of lines before a reference to DATA_1X. I wish I noticed that earlier as I was commenting out each one at a time until I found the last one, which coincidentally was right before DATA_1X. That's what happens when you've got too many things going on at once.
Please let me know whether or not this worked for you. I'd like to make a list of ROMs (with applicable mods) this works for or doesn't work for.
I will do whatever I can to help if you are struggling. If there's something you don't understand, please let me know. I can update the instructions if I accidentally wrote something wrong.
Great work once again
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Finally!!! I will give it a go right now... mShowAtLeastThreeGees - that IS pretty funny. I guess Google programmers do have a sense of humor.
EDIT: Works like a charm. Here's modded SystemUI.apk from Calkuin's newest FE22 ROM, for those who don't want to mess with SMALI edits.
Awesome work! Now help us find where they've buried the lines to hide AM/PM in there

Thanks Nivron. Here is the systemUI.apk for the stock deodexed rom.
Nice work.
Haven't tested it just yet but it looks like they changed it from line 752 to 751 in FF02 for anyone wanting to make the change in the latest build.
Is it possible for someone to update this for the new FF02 build?

I tried dropping it into system/app, which caused the device to lock up and FC systemui. I did a battery pull, and now I'm left with no UI icons, etc.
I think it's due to no space left in my /system/ folder. I deleted the failed install of S-voice, which cleared up 20MB, and now it works!
---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
So I tried changing my mode from Hybrid to CDMA only, and waited about a minute, and my device stayed on 3G. I even rebooted just to be sure.
Thoughts?
I downloaded the modified FF02 systemui.apk file, and used ES File Explorer to paste it into /systemUI/app/, after backing up (adb pull) the stock systemUI.apk

You can use a odex rom and with root explorer delete both SystemUI files and replace it with the SyetemUI.apk posted in this thread, it will work I have tried it.
now I'm assuming that you can do the same thing if you know how to take out the systemUI from your odex rom and deodex it and then do the mod.
OP updated for FF18, small change (.line 752 to .line 751). Note that the attachment is still for Calk's E4GT 2 v1.6 ROM and won't work right with FF18.

Disclaimer: Voice search is not working. Use swiftkey or another keyboard app that you like to type with your voice.
Also, this app is not really stable. You can not exit the app with the back button, you need to press home and kill it manually.
STEPS:
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.
Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.
Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1
Now reboot & install the app from the download link. [LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j85otexnkoktfiv/Velvet.apk ]
Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.
Modify Permissions (As shown in this picture! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045&page=74 )
After this: Check if Google now starts, if you get a network error, that is ok!
If you get the network error:
Download this apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u09rrb81ju6bkp7
Use root explorer to push the app to /system/app
Reboot

This has been posted numerous times, but I made this tutorial specifically for our device.
WHAT YOU NEED:
HTC Wildfire S (Rooted - Running CM9 Alpha 5 or higher)
ES File explorer (or any other root explorer)
This APK: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u09rrb81ju6bkp7
STEP 1:
Open ES File explorer and go to the settings (menu button -> settings).
Scroll down, press Up to Root so that its on.
Scroll as far as you can down, accept all three options there (Root explorer, Mount File system, backup system app).
STEP 2:
Go up to root (press the folder up button until you can't go further up).
Go to the folder /system.
Scroll down and press on the file build.prop.
On the 7th line, it says: ro.build.version.sdk=15.
Change the 15 to 16 and then press menu button -> save.
REBOOT YOUR DEVICE.
STEP 3:
If you haven't put the APK on your sd card, do it now.
Go to the folder on your SD card where you put the APK file (velvet-theo0o.apk).
Install the APK.
DO NOT OPEN THE APPLICATION.
Go to /system and open build.prop again, and edit the ro.build.version.sdk=16 back to 15.
REBOOT THE WILDFIRE S.
MOST IMPORTANT THING:
enjoy google now.
The normal APK works just fine, but you won't be able to use the google now cards, you can only search. (the search is great though)

Hmm I'm working on a updated OP guide.
Updated the OP, a bit clearer and more like the Source post where i got it from.

ill try a reinstall from scratch tomorrow but im nearly positive i followed everything to a T

after checking this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045&page=74
and modifying the permissions for velvet-theos0o-5.apk as shown exactly in the screenshot on first post, it now works as described
so for any of you who followed the original directions and were getting network errors, this might help.
I did not change any build.prop content . Just rename the file after place it in system/app and change permission. Reboot . That's it. Works fine for me.
Well great, before I get my Galaxy Nexus (Monday or Tuesday) I will update the thread and all my other tutorials for CM7.
Also, this app tutorial works for any phone running android 4.0.4+.
