[Q] Changing carrier name

Possible to change the carrier name on the lockscreen and drop-down base?

Yes. The custom ROM I'm running 42One has both customized, but I'm not sure which file(s) were changed.

You have instal xposed framework app first and then with modaco tool kit you can do a bunch of things including changing carrier name.

That is true, however I noticed the MoDaCo Toolkit only changes it on the lock screen. To change the notification pull down also I suggest you modify the xmls.

I discussed in a little detail exactly what to change here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44194679
As for how, the tutorials on the vts site are very thorough. Even though you're not making a skin, the making a sense skin tutorial is helpful.

It works on the lockscreen, did you check that?
Also try a reboot after you make the changes too.

It should work if you have a Sense based ROM.
Ah, that could be it. The MoDoCo Toolkit needs the Xposed Framework to run.
Get the xposed framework's installer.apk and install it (thread linked below):
Xposed Framework XDA
then Click install/update and once it completes reboot your device.
After that, go into xposed, go to modules, and enable modoco toolkit and reboot once more.
Then try your desired modifications.

At this link, the XHDPI one will load and work, BUT, you lack the fun little widgets, and the app tray icons aren't properly spaced out, I'm not too sure where to go from here, its better than nothing though I guess

hey,thanks for the info dude...im on P5100..will wait for the official 4.2.2 original build by SAM,coz P3100 already have it..

Everything is working but you have to be rooted.
And stock ROM, without root just don't want to apply custom themes.

But there's no need for that.
If you're rooted you can just install it or move it to system/app and restart.
For some reason it works only on rooted devices.

@iamkani and @shehabskull
you can read @funky0308 tutorial and i will modified most of the steps are correct for decompiling but to decompile zip files it pretty different procedure as you cannot modify the .9.png without knowing the bordering in order to do that take any apk as example and copy resources.arsc , androidmanifest and res folder from android.zip to that dummy apk which has meta inf folder only nothing else and copy the said files and decompile that apk than only you would be able to modify the .9.png and @funky0308 method wont work for .9 png which has bordering its actually very easy once you get used to it and u have to decompile all the zip folder in the same way else you would not have perfect and elegant modification and for normal png @funky0308 method wil work

It gives u bootloop coz you not installing it properly. Previously installed modules cause bootloops

Nuff said. I check through rovo's posts and they are no update found for 5.1. Is this for real? The only xposed for 5.1 i found is unofficially support for arm64.

Dude, I installed xposed framework via recovery for 5.1 Android on CM12.1. The I installed apk of xposed provided in the same thread.
It always gave me bootloop when I enabled any of the modules. Without modules it's fine, but what's the point not to use any module?

Just tried flash the given zip. Greenify confirm not to work with 5.1. Some are confirm to work but cause few issues with other apps like in my experience (and give me a scare). IMO better wait for official support from rovo. But i can confirm the unofficial update is working. But im too lazy to do troubleshooting if issues occur.

Taken from original post thanks to him for an unoffical release.
How To Test
* You must be on Android 5.1. It will NOT work on Android 5.0 (too many changes to ART).
* You should have a working recovery (the busted ass "OEM" TWRP releases that don't have busybox are not "working recoveries"). The installer will try to detect this ahead of time.
* If you left the Xposed app installed from Android 5.0, you should disable all modules before installing this framework. Busted modules may keep you from booting after installation otherwise.
* I will need Xposed logs (and possibly logcats) to debug any issues. Remember, if your device won't boot after installation, its likely you can reboot to recovery and still grab the Xposed log (assuming Zygote started). It will be in /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log as error.log or error.log.old.
To admin, im sorry if my method is not appropriate. But this the only way i can help to spread some info some people missed.
