Seems that more than a few people have this issue, even with the actual OTA update.
I am also missing any sort of Spring boot animation, only the LG animation plays.

I am assuming it wasn't corrected before they sent out the OTA, they probably put Chameleon and change the boot ani so that people don't know which phone it is for.
I think you can go into the build.prop and change it to Sprint if you really want it. And if you really want the Sprint boot ani's you can check out my thread here.
Try reactivating the phone and updating the prl and profile. I've heard that fixes it. Do the dial menu combo, can't remember the numbers. Lol

This did not help the issue. Ran it twice.
Hmm...someone lied then! Haha. I'll have to find the post. But it was a thought. And it didn't hurt to try it. My apologies.

Okay, I will tell you the answer and the reason it is doing it. But, it will cost you 5 bucks each......just kidding.
What is Chameleon?
In an internal memo I found Sprint announced they will lease their network to independent companies and you could use existing unbranded Sprint phones for the service. The network is named Chameleon because you can disguise it to be any network you want. You could make it Billy Bob's Mobile if you wanted.
How?
All they have to do is turn off the branding. It will change the Sprint boot animation in the network settings and hocus pokus, you have a stock LG boot animation and a phone that say "Chameleon" instead of "Sprint".
The fix?
Turn back on your Sprint boot animation in the network settings.

Interesting, how is it randomly happening?
Where in the network settings exactly? Ive never seen this option. My phone is still stock.

Did something like that once on an Imperium build on the Photon. Folks were not amused.

Funny thing is I've never had this "Chameleon" issue on Stock or otherwise. I could post a build.prop with the proper carrier ID but folks would need to root to apply the fix. Personally, I say ignore it and enjoy the phone.
Would I hurt anything to run ##CLEAR# based off these codes?

I don't know what option it is that does it. But, it is something you changed in the dialer menu. Ask autoprime on irc. I was the one that told him what was causing the issue. He knew what exactly fixed it.

Okay, first, if your not on Sprint than you don't want to do this. So, are you on boost or cricket?
If you are on Sprint you need to turn your branding back on. This is what I have been saying all along.
You need to go to the dialer. Type 3845#*970#. Go to Data. Go to PPP. Changed it back from Undetermined to Sprint.
But, like I said. If your not on Sprint let us know what your on and we can go from there. Either way, it is something you did to the network settings. Hope that helps.

I am on Sprint. The only thing I did was receive the OTA, didnt touch a single thing after that.
Going through that menu, the PPP options are Undeterminded, Sprint, SKT_Sprint. I tried selecting "Sprint" and it didnt take. I just tried "SKT_Sprint" and it still says Chameleon.
Tried the ppp change as well with no success
Selected Sprint, phone rebooted with no change
Okay, there is another way but I don't remember what it is. You use nova launcher. You create a shortcut to update something.
Ask autoprime on irc or send him a pm. He should know what it is.
I am trying but it seems like a persistent bug. Somehow your phones became unbranded. It really shouldn't be an issue other than it not saying Sprint.

Change the "ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha" field value from "Chameleon" to "Sprint" in the build.prop file and then reboot. Downloading a build.prop editor from the market was easiest for me but you can change it manually as well.

id be careful changing certain settings. setting SKT could lead to broken 3g.
a ##786# reset seems to also lead to "chameleon". if you lgnpst'd back to stock zv9.. then upgraded to zvb it should fix chameleon issue.. but thats annoying.
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Confirmed working in both ZV9 and ZVB.

Hey guys,
I found a working MiuiSpnConf.apk on a chinese forum to get rid of carrier name on status bar...
Download and install (at your own Risk :fingers-crossed
Give whatever name you wish [or] leave it empty, and save
Switch to Airplane mode and switch back to mobile network, If that does not work on Application, try the same on Settings menu.

Same here i tried spn-conf.xml also all is well out there.
Can some someone throw some light on it.
Where are they? I've seen them in review videos. The option to highlight the word then select dictionary, English to spanish, etc would be handy. Is it only missing on Verizon or does anyone know?
I just tried this for the first time and it gave me the option to download the English version and it worked. I do not see any other options though.
English is the only option.

Damn Verizon they can never leave things alone. That was one thing i was like cool i can use Spanish one also been paying with learning it and figured hey that would help. They always seem to take out the small stuff that you can use like the settings screen can't change to another view that the reviews have either.

I dunno. Hopefully someone will figure it out..I really hate the way carriers strip things to make room for their garbage.
The Tmobile version also only has English. Could have something to do with rights inside the USA. Anyway hope we can download them somewhere
Anyone figure out how to download other language dictionaries? I have the same problem with Tmobile Note 4....does it have anything to do with being rooted?

Is the TMob version a different Sku? IIRC with the N2 somehow they are able to flash global roms.
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???

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.

I believe it edited the build prop so it was navigation buttons, not superimposed.
The reason I was trying to get the navigation buttons back by the way was because the capacitive stopped working.

It might be bootlooping because if you try to enable a feature (in the build prop) that isn't on the device (the actual system files), it can't boot up correctly.

That's most likely the case, I was just getting frustrated and installed the app without thinking, oh well.
I just want the navigation bar because, at least from my experience, most apps that superimpose the buttons are never the same. They won't appear at boot, interfere with the keyboard, and require a gesture to make them appear.
Doesnt gravity box have an option? Never tried it though.. just saying it might work.
i saw someone doing this but cant remeber where. Look in the develompent forum or in Google+ asus zenui beta development
I've been using this app for the last two years. I can highly recommend it.

You have to edit the correct build.prop in /system/ that corresponds to your Zenfone 2 model.
If you have the same model as me (WW/64GB/4GB RAM/2.3GHz), you need to edit build.ze551.dual.2p3GHz.prop
If you look through my posting history, you'll see me offer a link to a guide on doing it, link also includes info on disabling the capacitive buttons. On mobile so can't look through myself. Cheers.
