I recently switched carriers from MetroPCS and I'm now currently on AT&T through Straight Talk. The first thing I noticed after I switched sim cards and my service was finally activated, was that the carrier name shows "Home" instead of "AT&T" of "Straight Talk".
Is it possible for us to change the carrier name?
I'll attach a picture to show what I'm talking about

Given that I only see the carrier name on my lockscreen for a few seconds until I've unlocked the phone, I see little point in changing it. Now, it can be done, but I believe you need Xposed and GravityBox to do it.
It's one of those things that just kind of nag me when I pull down the status bar
I would use xposed, but I'm pretty sure that it's still not compatible with Android N yet. I was looking for alternative ways of doing it.

I don't believe there is an "easy" way to do it. You're probably going to have to decompile framework-res.apk and edit the carrier name in strings.xml, then recompile the framework. That is probably as simple as it gets, as I don't think there is an app that will do it for you. But search the site. You may find something that works that I haven't found.

You can use a custom rom to hide it. To be able to change it takes a bit more.
I find it annoying as well that is why I only run roms that allow me to get rid of it. I know what carrier I use. I dont need to be reminded.

Im wondering how to change the name of the "start" to something else. Im sure there is a way using a registry but I dont know where to go. I looked on google and it shows how to do it for windows XP but not windows mobile. Does anyone know? I really want to make my phone custom and not just the att name I want to change other names.
That would be pretty sweet. Ill be keepin my eye on this thread.
Come on. Some one knows how to do this or at least has an idea of how to do it.
On XP to rename the start button you have to actually edit your explorer.exe. This might not be something that you can do on Windows Mobile without modifying core files. I am pretty curious myself now, so I will look around, but I would guess that it would have to be hacked into the files when creating a new ROM.

Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market

Would it be safe to update this or does it also possibly patch a hole in the bootloader? Would you be able to bring the Droid X back down to a previous update if necessary?
i'm pretty sure its safe up update
Downloading the update! Let see if this fixes the ability to copy and paste from the moto email client.

Still no copy paste
I think u need to think before you post "safe". It probably is not "bad" but it very well could patch a possible exploit making your phone harder to root later on.

http://www.wjddesigns.com/2010/07/20/droid-x-ota-update-out-commercially/ I figured people should know it broke my cam and video camera but found a fix for it - it was fring
THe update was to fix a variety of things including the Screen issue.
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/21/verizonmotorola-issue-fix-for-droid-x-screen/
Article says it all.
I've heard DX users report that bluetooth tethering works OOB w/o the wifi hotspot package, and the improvements list for this update includes "updated bluetooth connection for enhanced video sharing experience". Does this update remove said tethering functionality?
The update doesn't break bluetooth tether.

Hi all guys,
as you surely know the stock sliders lockscreen of CM7 is pretty the same of the photo below. I remember a HoneycombWannabeLocksreen which currently doesn't work anymore since nightly #35

My question is, how to modify it? Are there any metamorph or theme that can customize the sliders?
Currently I'm using a density of 170 that seems totally incompatible with rotary and lense CM7 lockscreen
I don't want to use widgetlocker cause on my Desire (aka bravo) I'm experiencing serious lag once pressing the unlock on the phone.
THX everyone for answering
Are you reffering to my wannabe lockscreen?

Im still using this to this day with the new nightlies and metamorph still works just fine for me. If not You can always pull your framework, edit the images you wish to your liking and then push back.

holy! Last time I used it it messed up all the rom and I left the idea. After a month and more (this evening) I looked at your thread and i saw that last edit was on march and thought nothing was changed. THX
But, are there in the enormous XDA database other mod like yours, maybe with other styles?

Im sure there are, mine has died down now but I still it use it. You can always get a morph of a mod you like and edit the images by switching them to something to your liking as well if you prefer to use morph.
So, I have two of these T-Mobile devices. One of them originated from australlia, and another one has an unknown origin. So, the one with unknown origin makes me think that it is a prototype model. It has a weird custom android 1.6 firmware, and it lacks any safety notes, model names and notes in general under the battery, while the second one is bloated with them. I will attach a photo of both devices side by side on this thread. (the one with minimal text is what im curious about)

Instead of a prototype, it may be a clone (IDK).
Can you what do you mean with "weird custom android 1.6 firmware"? That's the only really useful info.
maybe it was made by a unknown man. all of that pieces taked from different places (ex: locations like one for a samsung board or nand memory). if you know about repair the entire device of something i can think you will know what happens really easy.
