Change "Sprint" text on lockscreen?

i've seen this done before somewhere, so i know it's probably been posted, just may be buried. can anyone point me in the direction of how to do this? thank you
edit: and yes i've searched...this forum, another forum, and google.

I've done this on my phone but I can't remember the thread. I'm positive its on the dev forum. You basically have to go into cdma workshop and there is a place in there where you can change it to what ever you want. I'll see if I can find it for ya again. Check back here later today.

[Q] Easily changer carrier name?

Change the carrier name?

Would love to know how to do this as well! I read yesterday somewhere on here that you would have to decompile/recompile the framework after editing the carrier name but thats currently out of my league. Maybe someone can help out by creating a flashable zip that fixes it but I'm not sure if thats possible considering all the different rom/theme configurations out there.
I'm running RandomRom 2.2.1 Phoenix/Genocide 1.0 with zanderman112's Epi-sense theme that I just flashed yesterday and currently loving my setup with zanders theme. The only thing I would like to do now is change my carrier name to say Sprint. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking he's looking for this so he can run sprint apps on a cooked rom. For this to work it would have to modify the resources.asrc in the framework-res.apk.

Maybe a how to video lol. Since I am not sure I understand what everyone is talking about I probably won't be able to do it myself.

Gotta have at least apkmanager with resources set up to even attempt this. Then you need to know how to edit xml,and how to get those changes into the framework. Probably 2 or 3 videos might get you through it.

Question for themers

Where can I find the location of the lines posted in screen shot? I want to keep the line circled blue & get rid of line in yellow. I posted this in Q&A and have not received any responses. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Contact DroidKevlar, he did that.

As far as I know those lines come standard.

Those are located in the drawable-xhdpi folder of framework-res.apk.
There is more than one IMG file but they all start with "divider"
"divider_horizontal_holo_dark.9.png" is one of the images that you need to edit
(think that's right, naming from memory, no PC to check with)

[Tutorial] How to change Build Number (((ROM NAME)))

Hey guys from the help of my very good friend Azuzu I am creating a little tutorial on how to change the ROM Name or Build Number on your T989.
This might work on other devices but I have only tested it on the T989.
If you follow this guide you agree that you are doing thing on your own and you take full responsibility for any damage that may come to your device.
###################################
Prerequisites:
Rooted - With SU Permissions
RootExplorer is recommended for file browsing with SU permissions.
Android SDK Installed - Google how to install it
Samsung Drivers - Check other posts or just google them
USB Debugging Enabled
Notepad++
####################################
Once you have all the pre's done go to command prompt and type the follow:
adb pull system/build.prop
>It will save your build.prop and now find it and open it with Notepadd++
> Edit line 4 "ro.build.display.id="
Make it what ever u want it to be: ro.build.display.id=Name Ahhh
Then click save...
Mount your phone to the computer and place the build.prop in the sdcard.
Unount and open RootExplorer
Find the file and click and hold until you get to copy.
Copy it and put it in the system folder. If done right it should ask you to overwrite it.
Then go back to command prompt and do the following
adb shell
su
//You should be asked for permissions by your phone Hit allow
# mount -o,remount /system
# chmod 0755 /system/build.prop
# reboot
Dont put the hash or the space after it. Just the text.
Once you reboot go to about and you should see what ever name you changed it to.

Why would you want to do this unless you want to take credit for someone elses work? Just curious

stock ROM users like may.want to change their ROM name. Some may just want something different. Who said anything about taking credit for some one else`s work.

There's only 2 people that would do this, someone trying put their name on someone elses work OR someone wanting to lie to people into believing they're running something other than what's installed.

Thnks for the tut but wouldnt it be easier to edit the build.prop thru root explorer
Edit my bad for saying that twice didnt see dude above me^

I have stock rooted ROM. I have debloated the ROM myself. I have other tweaks that I'm doing. So tell me what am I stealing? Nothing.
So I renamed it to whatever I want. I also added my own boot screen and themed apps. So you are wrong. I am not stealing anyones work.

That is stealing...you did not build the rom...changing boot animation, uninstalling system apps and tweaking some settings are something everyone could do to any rom... i mean really, any end user could do those things... what kernel source did you compile?did you zip align or deoxed? Did you add bln support? No you just changed a few things and then put your name on it..and anyway you don't even see the info unless you manually go into settings and look it up so no one would see that unless you showed it to them which makes it look even worse.....why would it matter what it was called in the settings?

Does it matter if I change the dialer??? Absolutely not!
If you had bag with 5 coins and add 1 now you have a bag with 6 coins. Now lets see if the bags are different:
Bag 1 -
1 Bag
5 Coins
0.85LBS
Bag 2-
1 Bag
6 Coins
1.00LBS
So now tell me how these two bags are the same....Oh wait that's right they are not the same anymore.
Ok enough with the silly examples...
Now if you have, or maybe you do, a Honda Civic.
You add RIMs, Radio, New Air Intake, Tints, HIDs, and a new air freshener. And you remove about 100LBS of weight of the body.
Now is that car stock?
Drum rolls someone............................................
Answer = Nope....
So if you put DJIDK's JDM Ride on the back instead of Honda Civic, does that mean you are stealing the work of the Japanese who built the car????
I don't think so. That means you have customized your car to your liking and gave it a name you thought it deserved after you did a bit of changes.
SOooo Lets get back to the Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 - T-Mobile.... Just making sure you remember the phone exactly...Wouldn't wanna steal Samsungs hard work and call it the Sam 989 u know....
So if I want to change and flip the back cover and maybe put pink little hearts as my app icons, then call it Roketteere's Pinked out T9er that does not mean I am stealing anyone's work. Nor does it mean I want to take credit for anything...
If you didn't like my simple tut, which yes I know it can be done faster via rootexplorer.apk (Thanks 2 the 2 guys for the info), then don't read it and post anything negative about it. Unless I intentionally put something to tell everyone to rename all the ROMs and post them on XDA or whatever site as their own no one should be accusing me or anyone else who does this to be doing something wrong.
Well thanks to you my fingers now hurt from typing with a bit of anger...
I hope my keyboard is ok...Hmm :fingers-crossed:
Well Im done with that...Have a good night spirit fingers :silly:

It's not about stock or not you are changing the name...the coins are still not made by you so you would not call them David coins and the Honda civic is still a Honda civic..not made by you either..so you wouldn't call it a David civic...get it
Edit...I'm sure every dev on here would agree...and you still haven't answered me....what's so important about a name, no one is going to see?

so you think his name is ahhh. There's a reason he put this in general, it's just a little theming is all. It may be pointless but the guy isn't claimingto have built anything and it isn't Rom specific. Name it peter juice or something.

Why keep it to myself. XDA is all about sharing and helping one another. So no I'm not going to keep this to myself. Like the other member said I'm not posting this to claim something that's not mine. I'm claiming to call my phone what ever I decide to call it and if you want to do the same then this is the tutorial for you. If not then move on.
It's like you wanna hijack a perfectly harmless thread and make it about something else then what it literally means. Are you going to bash me if my signature said "Sent from Roketteere's Cool iPad using TT H-Dee"
Is that stealing too?

Someone has a temper today! Just posting a link isn't too hard, isn't that easier than being a ****?

First off, the OP never said they wanted the flash apk. They wanted to know how flash preformed on the Optimus G. All the other posters talked about it performing on other phones. I gave a little insight about flash not being on newer phones and that you would have to find the apk. Yes saying that if you don't know how to find it then you shouldn't be on here might have been harsh. But it sounds like your are a little butt hurt. It's ok. There is a thing called the search button that usually will provide anyone with a multitude of answers. I could provide a link but, couldn't you have done the same thing rather than coming on here and calling names? Or maybe it's because you yourself don't know how to find it.

If you aren't smart enough to know that asking the original question doesn't necessarily mean I don't know the apk can be found through a search, then you don't belong. ..anywhere
Yknow it is possible someone had gone through the trouble of installing the apk since this phone has been out longer on carriers other than Sprint.
Grow up, sheesh.
For all the grownups.
