Nobody not how to edit carrier name?
USCC SGS2

It is a string inside of framework-res.apk
1. decompile framework-res.apk
2. go to res\values\strings.xml
3. change these to whatever you want it to say
<string name="zz_roamingText1">Sprint</string>
<string name="zz_roamingText99">Sprint</string>​4. recompile the apk
5. flash to your phone.

Can't find value in the res folder
USCC SGS2

res is inside of framework-res.apk. you need to decompile framework-res.apk to get to it.
/system/framework or something i think?

Yeah, the values folder wont show up unless you decompile the apk first. Just use APK Manager and use SystemUI.apk as the dependency (if decompiling framework-Res.apk).

[Q] Porting build.prop from sprint gs3 to vzw gs3

in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941239&nocache=1
they advise that i copy the build.prop data from the port rom to the base rom then copy the build.prop from the base to the port rom folder.
open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for “ro.build.description=” and “ro.build.fingerprint=” from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.

However, im porting a sprint gs3 rom to a vzw gs3. wouldnt i replace the port rom (sprint) build.prop data with the base rom (vzw)?

Anybody? Do I just do it in reverse? This is my first time porting anything.

[MOD][CM10.1][June 28] Disable Crt Off Effect

Hi guys...As we all know that the Crt off Effect in Cm10.1 4.2.2 is glitchy and not smooth compared to the ICS builds. Well i was little annoyed by it and found out a way to disable it.
You can disable crt animation by modifying framework-res.apk by changing the value of animatescreenlights to true(If it is already set to true try false.) in res/values/bools.xml.
I have modified the framework-res.apk to disable it. Attaching the modified framework-res.apk.:good:
Use RootExplorer(or similar software) to replace the modified framework-res.apk.
-copy the modified framework-res.apk from the directory where u had it.
-navigate to the System folder paste the apk here.
-Change the permissions of the apk to rw-r-r. move the apk after changing the permissions.
-Navigate to the folder Framework i.e System/framework/ and replace it with the original apk.
-Reboot after replacing:good:
Sorry i dont know to create a flashable zip.
tested on temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD - RC0.2 and works great.
performing a Nandroid backup before changing system files is recommended .
P.S:Added a flashable Zip( not sure whether it works )

[Q] Why Can't I edit APNs File?

I want to make a change to the APNs File but it's grayed out. when I click on the T-Mobile US LTE
I edited the build.prop with that LOL stuff that someone posted but it didn't change. I suspected that was bogus when I saw = LOL but tried it anyway.
Does anyone know how I can edit it to make changes?

Open /system/csc/customer.xml, and look for the APN you would like to be able to edit.
Change the value:
Code:
<Editable>no</Editable>
to:
Code:
<Editable>yes</Editable>
Then just reset APNs to make android reload them from the csc. You can also change the defaults that will be loaded for a given carrier MCC/MNC by editing the APNs in this xml.

Thanks for the above info.
Question:
Do you know how to change/enable the grayed out "Turn APN on/off" so it can be un-checked? This is for TW4.3 ROM
