[MOD] Remove Carrier from StatusBar [WITH HOW-TO]

I removed that awful carrier text from the status bar, while preserving it in the notification shade and on the lockscreen.

}
Changes are made to xml in the SystemUI.apk
Here's how to do it:
Decompile the SystemUI.apk using apktool
Navigate to /res/layout/status_bar.xml, open with Notepad++, Geany, etc
Find the line that contains:
Code:
<TextView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/onsText" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:maxLength="18"
You want to edit the android:maxLength to "0". that will delete it.
Save your changes in the editor.
Recompile the SystemUI folder using apktool.
Grab the SystemUI.apk from the dist folder and get it on your phone. ADB, Root Explorer, whatever.
Push it to /system/app
Change permissions to rw*r*r .... thats 0644
Reboot and enjoy.
OR
You can use my SystemUI.
*THIS IS ONLY FOR ROOTED JELLY BEAN*
*BACKUP YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMUI TO YOUR SDCARD AND DO A BACKUP IN SAFESTRAP*
I am not responsible for anything that messes up your phone. However usually the worst that can happen with a SystemUI is your wallpaper, notification bar, and navbar disappear. In this case I just fire up RootExplorer and move my backed up copy of SystemUI back in and all is well again after a reboot.
Download:
SystemUI.apk

why not

thanks again younggunn2008. is your systemui.apk from the latest jb ota for the leak?

I'm working on it with another Motorola dev, he's got some ideas I'm gonna try out.

Thanks. It worked great once I decided to use a GUI file explorer instead of trying to figure out how to mount system rw in adb.
Woot! (I'm always looking for more space in the notification bar).

And to change the name of the operator?

Wallpaper is just one I found from wallbase I can post it up if you want. The widgets are actually three different ones... The analog clock is the 4.2 clock app modded to be black. The weather is BeWeather 2x1 widget with no background, roboto light font, and vosflat black icon... And the battery percent is minimalistic text. I'm using holo launcher with overlapping widgets allowed and 5x4 grid.
The latest combo of widgets I'm using:

i actually never liked soft buttons on statusbar... but i know that navbar at the bottom is damn handy maybe you should try harder by searching for tutorial or something, because if that's possible i'm sure someone made a tutorial about it already or just ask the guy who made it for cm9, send him a pm...

there's a thread here in themes section...OP y u no search ?

OK, do the following:
download any mod which contains those softkeys
decompile it with apktool
look to file called status_bar.xml in /res/layouts folder and see what going in there, make your mod and don't forget to give credits to the original moder

Hmm, actually it works in apps like XDA ... etc, seems you need to do few modifications in code, search in xda member evilsto's threads.
edit: try to add parameter called "clickable=true" to the status bar layout, maybe it helps.

just so you know, this just the xml file, not an installable zip file.

Try adding this line...
Code:

After this line....
Code:

Make sure that you have the proper png file named "ic_sysbar_recent" in drawable-hdpi folder....
I'm not an expert themer, but I know a thing or two about all these... So please give it a try and inform me....
