Change Carrier Label in Status Bar on Motorola Milestone running MIUI 1.6.3

Hi,
I have tried to perform the above action three different ways:
Using the CCName app
Adding an eri.xml file to /Data
Changing the eri.xml file in the framework-res.apk
None of these work and my Carrier Label remains (Vodafone UK).
Can somebody please help? Any advice is appreciated, I just cannot see where I can change this on my Milestone.

So that I can have my name in the status bar rather than the carrier name!

r u 10 yrs old ?

You need to decompile framework-res.apk with Apk Manager, then find xml file with carrier label string and change it. When you will be done compile it (as system apk), sign and push to phone.

[Q] How to enable voip settings on GB settings?

Hey everybody,
Does anybody know how to enable Gingerbread voip settings? ie. to have voip settings listed under Settings > Call settings?
I have I9001, so if there is need to change framework-res.apk please let me know.
Once I managed to to edit those settings but I can't remember how or from where...
Thank you.

1) get root
2) put android.software.sip.voip.xml to /system/etc/permissions to enable SIP settings (SIP will work only via Wi-Fi)
3) update framework-res.apk if you want to use SIP over GSM/3G:
framework-res.apk:
res/values/bools.xml
config_sip_wifi_only - change value of this from "true" to "false"

I got runnymedemod007 and the xml file is definitely at the right position, but voip doesn't appear. Is there anything that's I'm still missing?

please help

To get rid of the Brightness slider do the following:
- Decompile SystemUI.apk
- SystemUI > res > values folder
- Open bools.xml (with Notepad++)
- Search for:
PHP:
<bool name="config_useBrightController">true</bool>
- Set the value from "true" to "false"
- Recompile your SystemUI.apk
PS: Is your ROM/firmware deodexed? Because the size of your attached SystemUI.apk is only 1.97 MB... Usually it should be around 2.3 MB or above... If you have "SystemUI.odex" in your System > app folder then you need to Deodex your ROM/firmware first, then do all the modifications on your desired apk file..

Its always better to Deodex System apps and Framework - in order to avoid errors, etc.
I can do it for you but I will need your entire SystemUI.apk - so send me your SystemUI.odex also then

I'm the SystemUI.apk replaced without touching SystemUI.odex. in principle, does not have any errors. you need the original SystemUI.apk?

Hey.. While decompiling your SystemUI.apk I got some errors (I've attached the picture of it below).. Anyways I've removed the Brightness controller but the size of your SystemUI.apk after doing the modification has decreased
I have no idea why this happened but I've still attached your new modified SystemUI.apk
It MAY or MAY NOT work.. so backup your System partition (just to be safe) and Replace your current SystemUI.apk with my modified one.. Then delete SystemUI.odex and then Reboot your phone... Keep your fingers crossed and hope that it works

Edit build.prop and use sqlite to change settings.db
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

1. Unlock
2. Root
3. Download root explorer and sqlite editor
4. Open sqlite editor
4.a - under the files tab navigate to "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/global"
4.b - click the + symbol to add a new entry
4.c - In name section put "tether_dun_required" all lower case exactly as it appears here.

5.c - add this as a new line to the bottom of the file "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" all lower case exactly as it appears here. Just 1 uppercase letter here can make it not work.

Thank you kindly!
Edit:
Unfortunately I followed your instructions exactly and when I turn on hotspot I get "Unable to connect to data network; you may not be subscribed to Tethering or Hotspot service; please contact your phone company"
EDIT 2: After TWO reboots it works! Thanks again.

I understand half of that but let's see

How to get free hotspot= Get rid of stock ROM, flash custom ROM instead.

[MOD] Enabling Hidden Features like Hide NFC and Call Recording [MOD]

This is absolutely not my work. I pulled and tested the following edits from here. I've been looking for this information for a while now and only came across it by chance. Big thanks to tiboric for putting the information together!
I have also tried some of the CSC apps out there that try to help. I didn't find any that worked if anyone knows of some that work post and let me know. I'll edit this OP but for now if you want something that works, this is the way to go!
This is not my work, just sharing.
To enable these you will need root, a root explorer and text editor.
Simply navigate to system/csc/Features.xml and add the corresponding line to the end of the file but before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>
(if this file does not exist, create the csc folder in system and a txt file within it then change the name to features.xml and add the correct lines and save) if this does not work you can try the same method with Others.XML in the same folder
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*
