Hi I'm a new user for Atrix, and atrix will showing carrier name in the notification bar (in the upper left corner, usually showing "AT&T", see attached jpg file).
Unfortunately I'm using it with Taiwan's carrier, and it shows "Chunghwa Telecom" in my notification bar.
I google some relative method, but seems not work at all...
a. change the eri.xml in framework-res.apk => carrier name string not found.
b. change by CDMA workshop tools => this tool is for qualcomm solution only, but I'm not sure it's suitable for atrix.
c. "Carrier Name" app from android market. => must install "CyanogenMod" first, but CyanogenMod didn't support atrix now.
Is any way to change it to shorter string?
Regards,
Sawaichi
you should install one of the themes available here that removes it completely. easier then trying to mod it.
id like to do this too but i really dont want to install any theme.... i like the stock theme
???
Mine doesn't show any carrier.
Don't know why.

Yeah dude, for me it's "SGP-M1-3GSM" as carrier string. I use a battery indicator with number, and when I also have the phone on silent, notifications don't appear anymore :/
Ideally, I'd like to change it to a very short string, e.g. "M1".

Is there any way to change an icon in PPC2003 mobile?
Specifically, I use the program Battery Pack 2004 (v5.3) which comes with the Today screen plugin "Program Bar". This lets you setup shortcuts and place them on an MS Office like bar on the today screen. but many of the icons are generic and confusing and I'd like to change them. For example, if I add a link/shortcut to a folder called "Utilities", the link/shortcut shows up as a folder icon. If I place several different similar links next to each other, they all look the same. I'd like to change the icon to something meaningfulld, like a folder with a bit U on it ....
Any ideas?
create or copy any desired icon file into this folder and name it "icon.lnk"

Thanks, I'll give that a wirl....
Created an Icon, copied it to the Windows\Startmenu\Util directory and renamed it icon.lnk.
Notta. ??
There are icon creation programs out there as I remember trialing one for a while. Wasn't freeware and din't end up buying it. Don't remember the name but I downloaded from handango.
If you wanted to change the icon I presume you would also need to creat a shortcut link the exe file you want to execute?

edcap,
I have an Icon creator, editor. In fact, I have the icon I want to use. But the question I have is how do I get it to show up on PPC2003? Specifically, how do I make it be the icon for a folder I have created?
Thanks in advance...
Help??? :?:
Ive been searching for it, but never found how to change the icons nor manual or with any program. I don´t think it´s possible to change the icons on WM2003.
Thanks, but it HAS to be possible. :wink:
We have 2 remote control rovers driving around on Mars right now taking pictures, drilling into rocks and digging holes in the red sand. We MUST be able to change an icon in my PDA?? :shock:

Yes, it is. But it's not really simple, and I don't know the whole story, so this is more of a hint to get you started, not a complete solution.
Look at the "Games" folder in your start menu for an example. It has a different icon. So, if you look into the actual Games folder, there is a file called icon.lnk. This is NOT the actual icon, but a link (sic!) that points to an icon resource inside the ceshell.dll.
I did not try, but it may suffice to have that link point to an icon file (whatever that format is). Also, make sure you get the number in front of the # sign in the icon.lnk file right.
If all else fails, create a DLL that contains your icons as resources (you'll need a resource editor for that - Visual Studio has one, for example, but there are others), and have the icon.lnk point to an icon resource inside that DLL, similar to how the Games folder icon works.
Cheers
Daniel
Search the net for this sollusion, described by tadzio above. I know there even is programs for changing foldericons. Altough, there is no program for changing program icons yet..
And ive found no sollusion to this, anywhere...
Happy hunting, if you find anything. Please let us know!
To customise the HTC ActionScreen you can change the total number of icons, the size and shape of icons, their position, the image, and what is launched by pressing the icon.
All reg settings are contained within [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
Each Application reg file is numbered sequentially starting with App_0 going up to the total number of icons -1 (for 8 icons, App_0 to App_7).
Each icon can be shifted to where it is wanted by changing the xPos and yPos dwords, the top left of the screen is xPos 0 yPos 0, with yPos being the vertical distance, and xPos being the horizontal distance from the top right of the screen in pixels. This must be a positive value. The image files can be located anywhere, including the storage card.
Any image can be used, so long as it is converted into a *.brn, and matches the dimensions of the reg file.
The "name" registry entry is the text that appears to the right of the image, as of yet I know no way of changing its position other than moving the entire icon.
This works on other devices with the HTC ActionScreen.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
"Default"=""
"Check"=dword:00000001
"Row"=dword:00000007 [RIGHT]Number of rows[/RIGHT]
"Column"=dword:00000001 [RIGHT]Number of columns[/RIGHT]
"BaseImage"="" [RIGHT]Background image[/RIGHT]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0]
"Default"=""
"Name"="" [RIGHT]Text displayed next to the icon[/RIGHT]
"Path"="" [RIGHT]What's launched by pressing[/RIGHT]
"IconPressPath"="" [RIGHT]Image shown when pressed[/RIGHT]
"yPos"=dword:00000028 [RIGHT]Position relative to the top (in pixels)[/RIGHT]
"Width"=dword:000000f0 [RIGHT]Width of icon[/RIGHT]
"IconPath"="" [RIGHT]Basic icon[/RIGHT]
"Param"="" [RIGHT] Parameters of what is launched[/RIGHT]
"Type"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Type (no idea...)[/RIGHT]
"xPos"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Position relative to left of screen (pixels)[/RIGHT]
"IconSelectPath"="" [RIGHT]Image displayed when selected[/RIGHT]
"Height"=dword:00000028
Attached are image files demonstrating it.
thank for the nice guide..
will try to edit it..
ActionScreen from program files...
Put all the default .brns in \Program files\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...
And... ActionScreen from storage card...
Put all the default .brns in \Storage Card\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...
good work! btw, have you one of the latest action screen cab?
if yes, can you link it?
Thankx
I have 'v1.00'...
downloaded, thankx
No probs...
Now in green! Copy the .brns to whatever directory you have set as the default...

Still the same as you used to with WM5, no change in that. You can disable HTCHome in Today Settings pane. Don't forget to restart (soft reset).
Thanks sir...

I'm using one of Dutty's roms and I'm wondering what registry change would need to be made to make the ActionScreen button go away, and be replaced by Calendar.
I like the old way of doing things.

You may have a shortcut to "SoftKeys" under the System tab of the Settings. If not, look at this: http://www.dotfred.net/SoftkeyAppletEx.htm
It's simpler than using the registry and tends to work better...
Hello everyone,
I can see many custom icon sets out here, but after some downloads, I realised I would like to create my own icon set, to satisfy my creative needs
The question is: Is there somewhere any kind of application (on PC or PPC) that enables you to replace stock icons on their respected locatons
I'll make myself more clear... Let's say I would like to change my Start menu icons (folders, apps,...) I do know that you can do this with some apps already available on the WM 6.5 platform, but only individually. What I'm searching for, is an app that manages to replace the icons with my own, importing (replacing) them on their locations (for example it will find the icon "Comm Manager" under Start Menu>Settings>Connections>Comm Manager.lnk) In this approach you could make one personalized icon set and use it repeatedly even after a new ROM arrives all in one sweep.
I understand that all aplications are packed in .cab files. So perhaps there is one desktop app, that manages to link my .png/.ico files to the appropriate files, converts that to a .cab and after copying to the storage, that cab after execution would replace/overwrite all the icons.
Hope it's understandable. Sorry, english is not my native language.
If this was asked/commented before, I apologise for bringing that up again...
See you all
there is nothing to do exactly what you want.
however, if you use jwmd and change them 1 by 1, you can save as a "theme" and then import it after you flash a new rom and get the same icons back.

Great app, this will do, thanks! Downloading now, will try it out
Here I get this excessively long carrier name (24 chars) taking up all the space in the status bar on my Moto Razr XT910S. Have visited some posts while it seems that hardly can I change to shorten the name. Tried 'Ccname' and 'Carrier name' in the market but neither of them work. Just wondering anyone is able to remove the the carrier name by setting some 'width' to 0 instead of changing the string? Thank you.
Hi!
Any developer out there who would make a little change at an existing apk(xml)?
Best regards!
still searching...
what type of change?
if you mean adding a new element to the xml i think that you cannot because then you need to rebuild (compile and especially pre-compile) the apk.
but if you are talking about changing some values of an already existing object that may work.
What apk ? And what do you want changed ? Need to post a little more detail if you expect an answer. It would also help if you upload the apk.

What type of apk ? Is it for GB or ICS ? what is your target platform ? If it is for GB I can do it . But not in deep . If you tell me what exactly you want to do , I can help you. PM Me.
Thanks for your answers!!!
I'll try to explain it:
It's an hotspot widget, which allows to turn on Wifi Hotspot by just clicking the toggle.
When clicking the toggle, Hotspot is "starting", that means it's not ready but on the way. When Hotspot has fully starting has finished and is available to be used there is another toggle icon.
So, what is missing right now, is, that after pressing the toggle the indicator graphic shows "starting".
Hmm, my english isn't very good, but i'll give the best to make it understandable. Therefore a made two screenshots and add the graphic which should appear when having pressed the toggle and before the toggle has changed to the one displayed at the second screenshot:
So, what has to be changed, is - to my opinion - the parameters for appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png - so that the attached graphic is displayed.
I have to mention that i already modified the apk by changing stat_sys_tether_wifi_off and stat_sys_tether_wifi_on.

To decompile I need your framework apk.
I only have the apk i attached. The Widget was downloaded from the market (free).
Ok, i made new screenshots to explain:
1.) Hotspot "Off":
2.) Hotspot "starting":
3.) Hotspot "On":
When "Tethering oder Hotspot aktiv" is displayed (=starting modus, second screenshot) in the status line after pressing the toggle, there should appear this
instead of this

Check the attached file whether it working or not. You have some problem with images . Then do not appear properly.
Thanks, but nothing changed. It's still like in the 3 screenshots above.
EDIT:
Oh, i forgot to mention, that changes must affect drawable-mdpi as the device (Sonyericsson Xperia Active has only 320x480 pixel screen resolution!!
@musarraf172
Could this be the reason, that nothing changed? Am i right, that you changed the xml values fpr drawable-hdpi and not drawable-mdpi? It's my fault, i should have mentioned that it's for a low resolution screen, sorry!!

I changed for both as I was confused . I have tested in on my phone (HTC) . It was working but the images was overlapping.
EDIT:
I think I am misunderstood. What exactly you want to change ? only some icons ? If so please tell me in more simple words.
Ok, i'll try to explain but my english is not that good (sorry):
When i press the toggle
there should appear a dark green indicator line - like here:
And in the end when the Hotspot is fully activated this should appear:
That means, there should be 3 steps:
Off
-> Start
-> On
Why aren't the pics in my post displayed?
Ok, I'll try to explain again:
The indicator is too low (about 13 pixels too low) and too wide (about 12 pixels on each side, 24 pixels total) as you can see at the new screenshot.
So the xml-parameters should be changed for
1.)appwidget_settings_ind_off_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi as it's a low resolution device with 320x480 display)
2.)appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi)
3.)appwidget_settings_ind_on_c.9.png (drawable-mdpi)
They have to be changed all the same way.
Please(!!!) can anybody help me?
So you want three total icons.
One for off:
One for starting:
One for on:
This should not be too hard to accomplish.
Yes, that would be what i'm looking for.
But maybe it would be enough, if the position of the indicator would be changed.
Can't do it here at work, and it seems someone is on the right track. I can look at it this afternoon maybe.
Are the images separate. Meaning an icon and an indicator bar. That seems like overkill unless the indicator bar is moving (showing progress). I would think that three static images would be just fine.
If it is just the xml that needs to be edited, can you paste it here?
I made screenshot of what the original apk (not modified in any way!) looks like. Unfortunately I'm not sure which xml contains the information for the position of the graphics. But you can see what graphics are available originally and maybe this gives a hint on how the xml is designed? I tried to attach the xml files to thhis posting but the file format isn't allowed. So i attach the original, unmodified apk.
3 static images would be good, also, if possible, but i think that would be more complicated, what do you mean?
Originally there are 2 icons (off and on) and 3 indicator graphics (off - mid(=start) - on). But i think it would be also good to use 3 static images instead of the combination of the 2 static images and the 3 additional indicator graphics.
I also made 3 screenshots what the original unmodified apk looks like when Hotspot is off, has started and is on.
EDIT:
I'm wrong! I just saw, that the original akp works by having a background for all 3 situations (off - mid(=start) -on) and just varies the WLAN symbol in the middle of it. And additional the indicator graphics.
So there seem to be following graphic combinations originally:
1.) Toggle Off: appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_off.png + appwidget_settings_ind_off_c.9.png
2.) Toggle pressed (Hotspot Starting): appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_off.png + appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png
3.) Hotspot On: appwidget_bg.9.png + stat_sys_tether_wifi_on.png + appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png
