[Q] Change or remove carrier name from notification bar? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone share what needs to be changed to remove or alter the carrier name from the notification bar? I know that it's been done with themes but I'd like to know how to do this by itself.
Thanks!

I would also like to know how to do this, more specifically; I would love to change "Att MicroCell" to just "MiCell" like Ive seen on other phones..

me three - that stupid "AT&T" in the notification bar takes away space for 3 notification icons. So how to remove that ? I tried ROOT TOOLS' "pulldown editor" but that didnt work.

I suppose that's possible since my Atrix does not show the carrier name by default.
Mine is an At&t Atrix, but I unlocked it so I can use it on Mexico's Telcel.

Rayan, what have you done to your Atrix ? your User Interface looks very different from the standard Atrix Interface ?

Swype

www(dot)swypeinc(dot)com
does this work on legend? it doesnt on mine but may be because needs to be rooted to work, the demo works and ive got it switched on for text input but doesnt actually use swype in texts or anything.
anyone else tried this?
It's working, even without root.

Maybe you have to google for a newer version.
It's working here also nicely. Using the open beta. Just wishing for more language packs, like German and Indonesian.
I s/l it and have it selected as the keyboard, but it won't come up as the keyboard.... am I doing something wrong?

The beta works flawlessly for me so far.. Make sure to enable it in your input options. Takes a bit to get used to and I definitely recommend finishing the tutorial (and I'm not a tutorial kinda person) and even reading the tips. It's wicked once you get used to it.
The keyboard will appear as below when properly enabled.

sorry for the late reply guys, it does work on legend. once you have selected it under keyboard settings. when you go to a text message for example do a long press in the text box and it will say change input method. change this to swype

[Q] Evo Dialer / Phone

I was playing with my friends evo the other day... and i really liked his dialer/phone app. is there anyway i can port that over? or is it phone specific? can i just grab the apk over from his phone or a rom?
Pictures &/ link would help quite a bit

Pretty sure system apps are phone specific, the framework is tailored specifically for the Evo.....you can try it, and it if doesnt work just do a restore

how would we able to tell if it would work on the vibrant just by looking at a picture? it doesnt matter what the app looks like.......its the dialer from the evo, which is a system app unique to the model...thats all we need to know.....its obviously safe to say that the app is most likely not coded to function on devices other than the Evo
I suggest just downloading Dialer One from the Market. It has a similar layout to the Sense dialer, and you can customize it how you want. That's why we have 3rd party devs
you could also try "takephone" dialer....just to give you some options
it has cool skins, and a very cool scrollable favorites bar
The EVO runs HTC Sense so there are too many differences in the frameworks that the dialer in HTC Sense needs for it to work. This has been a question that people have asked since the first release of Sense.
there are some system apps that can work on other devices, but it just depends on how much the manufacture of the device changed the system app to use things that they added to the framework. But this is one that will not work on a non-Sense device.

[Q] what file is this in contacts.apk?

i think that is your contact header (contact_header_bg.9.png) look in **your rom's name**\system\framework\framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi your add contact symbol should be next to it..hope it helps
I checked that, and it's white....so no go...

flash red overkill theme maybe ?
No. I refuse to flash a theme at the risk of losing something I like in my framework. I just need to know what file it is so I could do it myself
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Hi,
All of those are inside Contacts.apk, courtesy of Samsung's crap touchwiz:
the blue bar (either or both, I don't remember anymore): /res/drawable-hdpi-finger - status_bar_header_background.9.png & winset_selectall_bg.9
the plus sign button/background: /res/drawable - btn_search_dialog_voice_default.9.png etc (3 total for the different states)
the actual plus sign: /res/drawable-hdpi - btn_create.png & btn_create_press.png
Hope that helps,
Cheers, =)
I was able to change the plus sign background, but not the bar that goes across the screen behind it. I changed what you told me to, soniqu3, but it didn't seem to change it.
What other file could this be?

Hi again,
Sorry about that, yet another instance of crap-wiz being horribly inconsistent.
FYI, that blue-bar style throughout touchwiz is *usually* the status_bar_header, or winset_selectall I mentioned before.
Of course, here in contacts, even though it already had *BOTH* of those drawables, they added a third (that I forgot I had changed too, sorry.)
/res/drawable/search_plate_global.9.png
FYI (not that you care) I utterly despise touchwiz with a passion, and will never buy another samsung phone because of it. They should be calling these resources from framework-res.apk, or at the very worst, their own, twframework-res.apk, instead of cluttering the system by embedding them in every stupid app.
Ugh, seriously annoying.
Anyway, rant over, hope that fixes it.
Cheers, =)
Thanks for the help! I just ended up using contacts.apk from the scarlett leftovers theme. Made it dark transparent.

Battery Percentage display

I received my Xperia S today and am very happy....
a couple of things I noticed...
1) on the status switch there is no battery percentage remaining. Is there some other widget or shortcut that has it? I know I can go to Settings/about phone/status. I want it on my homepage.
2) I notice with the email that I can set up multiple accounts. This is fine. On my Arc it would show both accounts and on the right side would be a folder. I could tap the folder and it would open the email account and go to the folder display. Now email just shows the accounts. When I tap the accounts it goes to the inbox and i have to hit settings and then folders to bring up the folder display. Not a big deal but different. Anyone else notice this or a workaround?
Thanks.
For the battery, I installed Go Power.
For battery percentage,you can use 'Battery Indicator"

Turn off NFC. ... Seriously, that's it on stock.
You can flash custom ROM and choose the International setup and it'll be gone. There's also a mod to make to hide it from view. But again requires root and deodexed ROM.

I think you knew that already tho, just want to disable the icon? I guess follow what he said ^
I know I can disable NFC. But that is not what I'm looking to do.
I want to keep NFC online while only disabling the appearance of the icon in the shade.
I'm familiar with custom roms and the fact that international versions do not have this icon, however I'm looking to maintain my stock att Os
I currently do have root and am using Xposed framework for system modifications
Thank you

Okay, then this is going to be your best bet. This is the mod I mentioned. It does not make it completely gone, it only makes it invisible.

so you don't get any space back in the status bar, the NFC symbol is just completely transparent?

Right, no space back in the bar. I hate the icon too. :/ I hope someone comes up with a better solution.
