Hey Guys
I wanna change my signal icon so it says 4G instead of LTE.
On my HTC One XL there was a file called buildflag located under /system/customise/ that I could change to match my carrier to do it but it doesn't seem to be there anymore.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Bump anybody?

Mine changed when I flashed an ITNL ROM, 3G=3G, HSPA+=H, and 4G=... IDK I don't have AT&T 4GLTE here -.-
Yeah most countries use that standard it's just I the US the company's are exploiting a loop hole that allows them to use the term 4G for what effectively is HSDPA+.
Not looking to change the rom just looking for the build flag file to change so I can have 4G come up instead of LTE. I think I'll try posting in the rom thread instead.
Thanks anyway mate.

If you only want icon to change (and not the actual network level) you can rename files in SystemUI.apk (/system/app) under /res/drawable/xx-hdpi and push it back to the phone

Thanks mate - not exactly the answer I was looking for but I think I can make it work.
Ok so the icons are already there just going to rename them from 4G to LTE as you suggested.
Swapped the SystemUI.apk around and the status bar didn't show.
sooo did u change the the signal icons? i want to change the H for 4G can u help me?

Probably too late now but you can just change the sku_id to match t-mobiles. I had this problem and almost messed up my phone flash crap just for that. just look for /system/customize/ACC/default.xml in root explorer and change that SKu_id to 11 and restart and the icon with change to the 4G.

So I can get my tilt to display neither, or the clock all the time, or the battery when at the today screen and clock otherwise, but is there a way to make it show both the battery and clock icons at the same time all the time?
well, you can start by searching. Also, try programs like kaiserTweak or Advanced config
Yes, I've searched and I've used both programs. I've found plenty of documentation on how to make none, one, or the other appear, but nothing on both.
Try wisbar
I was hoping for something more like a registry edit, so I could show the native icons, not a program that would add its own.
I've asked so many times about removing the network icon...and nobody has found away...
the only way I've found to have both is to use another app to add the battery to the taskbar. Currently I use SPB's Pocket Plus 4. Also there is another one that is actually a start menu replacement but can be used just for the battery icon. That app can be found here ..... http://tillanosoft.com/ce/smenu.html
QuickMenu, amongst other things, will add a battery indicator w/ % status to the start menu in conjunction with the WM6 provided clock. Best thing is, it's free and will come up easily when searched for on Google.
edit: It's similar to smittyofdhs's proggie, but newer.

Use reshack to edit phcanbmp.dll and remove the network icons from it. That will effectively work for what you're seeking.

My bad, it's phcanOverbmp.dll. Open that up in reshack (aka resource hacker), expand the 'icons' tree and you can choose to either replace them with a blank icon (recommended, I don't have any available, search for it) or delete it. As for which icons are which, that's self explanatory once you're in the app.
Hope this helps!

If you're using the stock AT&T 1.62 ROM, you are correct, there are no 3G icons found.
So, find one of the cabs that installs a new one and then edit the new phcanOverbmp.dll.

I've used phcanoverbmp.dll from Hermes in the past. also know there are TONS of threads about this in Hermes forums...
Give it a try. Even if you can't get it working, the worst thing that happens is you've wasted an hour and learned a lot Read more about reshacker too, it's powerful and can be used on Windows DLLs too, not just WinCE...
ahh...i give up...i cant find a phcanOverbmp.dll with the icons even it in....
how do i manage to hide that icon?
turn on wi-fi
nah i don't really know
haha.. very nice.... :|
i want to hide that icon not to change with another one :|

don't know does it work or not. But try, use Advance config tool 3.3, open Phone configure (in AC tools 3.3), go to last sentence, 3G prefix, and change 3G to and symbol U want. Press Done when finish and restart ur phone.
i try'it but still nothing
Whenever I try to add an APN, if I change the MCC or MNC numbers from default, the APN automatically deletes itself when I click save.
Any ideas as to why? I know I have the correct numbers for my service as I've gotten them from multiple sources.
I'm with Bell Mobility, BTW.
its basicly the same reason why it does it in donut, the way the RIL works it isnt set up for CDMA, so changing those settings makes it disappear
Okay, so how can I get the correct settings?
great question i have been trying to find an answer myself, i think we have to change to the RIL used in rls3 and prior
Here is the libhtcgeneric-ril from rls3. Dont know if it will help but here it is.
just applied the update should let you adjust it now, also the call settings are no longer broken
omg, thought i was only one with that problem
I am trying to put in cricket settings but kept disappearing on me, i will try this
Okay so what do I do with the update I put it on sd card and extracted and nothing happend...it was just an extra file...nothing changed in my settings...keep getting Network or Sim error...BTW I am with Sprint please HELP...I have NO caller ID

did you install it as an update or just extract it, you have to reboot the phone with the androidupdate.tar in your andboot folder then press the D-pad button and update it that way then go into your apn's and change them that way
Omg I am sooooo sorry I have no idea what ur talking about please help...I only extracted it...andboot folder??? I feel sooooo stupid Please help...
changing your APN isnt going to fix your caller ID i thought you were running a newer build than zen-hero
Well how do I fix it...right now I can't even get into the settings to see if my caller id is checked I get a network or sim error so once I get in I can go from there...Is there a newer hero build???
Its called sense tattoo incubus has a sweet build
Sent from my Full Android on Vogue using XDA App
Okay where do I find it...can u paste the link here for me please...What is the andboot folder??? and where do I find it???
seriously forum search this stuff, the thread is right on the front page
I apologize if I am being a lil annoying I am just extremly new this...the zen-hero is the first and only build that I have ever used and/or tried to use so...I dont really know what I am doing...

Read the FAQ thread.
The update didn't work for me. My APN still gets deleted if I change the MCC or MNC.
The reason for disappearing APNs is 'fix for payed applications' in whatever build you running. You have 2 options:
1 Remove 'fix for payed applications' from system.rc (you live in Canada and I guess that you don't need it anyway).
2 Make your APN and don't change MNC and MCC values(save). Make your APN default. Edit APN again and change MNC and MCC(save).
APN will disappear but after reboot data will work!!!
I hope this will help
I have the same problem APN is deleted once i change MCC or MNC.
How can i remove 'fix for payed applications' from system.rc ?
Anybody know, how to change operator name on nexus one both lock screen and notification bar? My operator name too long and i want to change it. Is it possible?Please help me

That should help
You'll also need to change the _4g and _lte icons (the inspire isn't an lte phone, so that's not in the walkthrough I posted there obviously - you only need to change one set of these, depending on whether you're in Aussie land or the States)
Thanks for the reply, do you know how to set the rom to look look for different icons or how the rom knows what icon to pick? And also im using the HoliRaider final btw.

There are references in the .smali and .xmls that tell it what icons to display when. Hacking smali can be a pain in the butt, i don't mess with it. You can trick it by replacing the icon with an .xml in the correct locations, having the .xml direct it to a different icon, but I recommend you try what I suggested first, you should be able to get what you need out of that causing yourself way less headache. Crawl before you walk..
I changed them but it keeps switching back to the 4g ill see the AOSP icon i choose for a split second and then it goes back to the stock htc 4G. ?
ok i figured it out i just changed all the icons the h the h+ and got it working thanks for the help bro !
where are the .smali files and xmls files?

To edit the .xml's you're trying to edit, you'll need to rip SystemUI apart with APKTool, make your edits, then repack. Which is not as easy as it sounds, especially with ICS - as you'll also need to rip apart classes.dex with baksmali to get to the smali cause APKTool can't do it for ICS yet (unless I missed an update). This is not a simple enough process to just say "Here's how you do it". I got my information from about 20 different websites, but all the information is on the web. I'm happy to try to answer specific questions, but where's the fun in me giving you all the answers? Lol
OK I have a ginger bread based ROM so that should make thing's easier right? What ibreally want to do is get the phone to distinguish when its on a 3g network and a h+ network.

tbh i never figured out how to change the display of what Network you were currently conencted to in Settings, and not sure why you would want to? The Inspire would report being connected to GSM, Edge, UMTS, and HSDPA. Although it supposedly was a HSPA+ capable phone, it never actually reported this. So all I ever managed to figure out was how to edit the icons. Recently I discovered how to create .xmls that the ROM would see rather than the .png, and within the .xml you can do some pretty cool things. If you're actually trying to get the phone to report being connected to a network that it's not actually connected to, good luck. The Vivid will display being connected to GSM, Edge, UMTS, HSDPA, (maybe hspa+?) and LTE. The ATT stock ROM will show G for GSM, E for Edge, 4G for UMTS and HSDPA (and hspa+ if the Vivid connects to it, again, not sure), and 4G LTE for LTE. So it's already distinguishing between all the proper networks, it just lies with it's use of icons. If you're on one of WC's generic ROMs, it also has the icons replaced to match this of ATT, just without animated icons, at this point. If you flash the EQS mod on top of one of the generic builds, it will wipe out the new icons that were created for the generic builds, and you'll get the old block icons back. The icon really doesn't mean a damn thing. I could make them all middle fingers if i wanted to.
If you're using an ATT Stock build, they're calling upon the animated network icons from somewhere i have yet to determine. So if you change the 4G animated icons, it will change for all the networks that use that icon. If you're using a generic build, then it's not using the animated icons, but the stat_sys_data_connected_, in_, inandout_, and out_ sets. _g for GSM, _e for Edge, _3g for UMTS, _h for hsdpa, _hplus for HSPA+, _4g for 4g, and _lte for 4g LTE and you can edit them individually
Any idea on how to get the animated Icons like the ones in the skyrocket? And just because I wanted to see if we actually had enhanced back haul in my area.
Yes. I have an idea. If you're on a Generic build, it would require adding some .xmls and removing some .pngs. I promise to be of more help before too long
If you're on an ATT build, all you need to do is replace the animated icon sets
However you can tell what network you're actually connected to by going to settings, about phone, network. Here it will tell you the Mobile network type, and it will always connect to the best signal

What's the base? .56 is att.. .52 was a generic leak I think. I've never run the ROM though, so I can't tell you if it operates exactly like WCX or not. But if he hasn't made any changes to the things we're talking about, should be on par.

No there the 3 lines that stay solid well they were until i changed them to the gingerbread default. my com.htc.resources.jar is empty it has a dummi smalli file?

Then you'd need to follow the guidelines for what i was referring to as Generic probably. But without seeing the SystemUI for that build I couldn't begin to guess how they might have it working.
And now you have me confused...do you mean com.htc.resources.apk? i'm not familiar with a htc res jar file? Is the ROM deodexed? If not, the smali will be in the .odex. You'll need to baksmali it get to the .smali files. If it's deodexed, you'll need to baksmali classes.dex from the apk. I also don't know what you're looking for in com.htc.resources.apk...all my edits have been done in systemui.apk. Not saying there's not something hiding in com.htc.resources.apk that might answer a few questions I have, but I haven't touched it. That said, there's no .dex or .odex for com.htc.resources.apk, so I don't know what .smali you might be seeing there, but if you're seeing something it probably won't be something you can just pull out of your archive viewer and edit. you'll need to decompile with apktool, make your edits, and recompile. SystemUI will have a .odex or classes.dex, which will have a bunch of it's smali code. Again - eventually I'll offer some more information, but we're still making sure some kinks are worked out. Keep on truckin
I'm sorry i had changed projects lol im trying to disable paginated scrolling and it was com.htc.framework.jar. My good. And yes i beleive im Deodexed but im not really sure how to tel to be honest. I came from an iphone and im still trying to learn linux. I have odex files. Does that mean im deodexed? And also any idea on how to get rid of sense completely? or just the lock screen i dont really like the sense lock screen. I still want to get the animated icons if possible or at least learn how to do it should i decide to change it. And what about changing the the signal bars to 6 bars from 5 bars? thats xml editing? Sorry if im asking to much

I suggest you take a break and do some reading before going any further. No, if you have .odex files then you are not DEodexed. Sounds like you have way too many projects that you'd like to accomplish overnight, and unfortunately things don't work like that most of the time. It's research, research, research, trial and error, trial and error, research research, etc. Removing Sense can be a pain in the butt due to the fact that so many different things in sense ROMs rely on Sense parts...just ripping them out will cause problems. A CM9 port is currently being worked on by an excellent dev...and CM9 is built from AOSP, and way closer to AOSP then Sense obviously. Hopefully one day we might see a pure AOSP ROM...but one day at a time
That said.. a Google search of "android lockscreen" gave me this (http://android.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/eleven-ways-to-replace-your-lock-screen/) as a first hit. There are a ton of lockscreen apps, as well as alternate launchers that will get rid of the Sense look/feel. Anything you're trying to do, you will find on google. Not always on the first search...but keep searching, keep digging. There will always be people to help along the way, but things like this there wont' always be a walkthrough step-by-step guide for. But learn a little more about the OS and how it works. Google, google, google. you'll be amazed at what you find.
