Is there any way to change the carrier name in the notification tray (the part that says Verizon Wireless when you pull it down)?

I believe JRummy has an app on the market called root tools that can be used to do this. As far as actually doing it with the phones settings menu, I don't think its possible.

third party apps will *not* work with our phone....they attempt to edit the eri.xml file in framework-res.apk were typically the carrier text/label is located
for some reason our phone doesnt call on that particular file..it exists..and we even have eri_sprint.xml in there (good job sammy/vzw)...but the only way to change for the pulldown is to edit the service.jar (cant be done on phone) (credit andmer)
and this only changes the pulldown, not lockscreen...typically verizon is hidden on lockscreens in roms by resizing the background (credit sbrissen)

framework-res.apk is the visual template for your phone's OS. It is not a universal app, it is typically different for each firmware/ROM. When you hear the words "theme" or "theming", its referring to changes made to framework-res.apk. It consists of a bunch of .pngs and .xmls that dictate your OS's appearance (i.e. notifications bar, progress bar, pulldown menu, etc.).
Your phone WILL NOT operate without this, nor will it operate if you make improper changes to your framework (i.e. install a theme that isnt compatible with a certain ROM). It does not need to be installed, because you already have it, otherwise your phone would not even turn on.
Cool. The reason I was asking is because I was wanting to change done png's. (specifically the color of the xda app icon) I wanted blue instead of orange. I'm just trying to figure out how to do this.

"some" png's

what you will have to do is extract the apk. you can use bitzipper or appmanager. (i would suggest bitzipper for simple .png edits, apk manager can be kind of buggy). simply open the .apk with bitzipper.....drag the "res" folder out onto your desktop. find the .png you want to edit. edit it. then drag the "res" folder back into framework-res.apk (it will automatically compress it for you.
once you make all of your changes, you will need to resign the app since its not a system app. you do this by first deleting the "meta-inf" folder. then you need to resign using any resigning tool.....i use this.......once you successfully sign it you can reinstall
Hey Guys,
Im trying to add parts to a theme I'm using. I've themed quite a bit on my captivate and Infuse 4G. This has me stumped though.
Now, for the simple parts im using UOT. Specifically the notification drop down. I'm trying to theme the header, notification, footer etc. Everytime I try it dosen't work. None of the files are replaced. I can see a few of them looking through the framework-res and systemUI res folders. Some of them I can't. They seem to be in diferent places or renamed compared to the captivate systemUI and framework. I've tried three different times and no go.
Question is...Are the notifcation drop down images renamed or in different places on MOTO roms? Any hints for a MOTO nub trying to theme?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.
What images are u talking about.. dropdown notifications are in system ui.. when u use the kitchen make sure u click amend script b4 finishing motor and blur r more dependencies than anything in a custom rom

If your talking about the status bar, you can't use UOT Kitchen to theme it, it will give you errors! Not sure why, just how it is

My memory is horrible and and I haven't touched this in a few days but I can give the places to look and if you change them at all it should be pretty apparent which did what. Sorry, I don't have enough time right now to give a detailed answer.
SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > statusbar_background.9.png
--- I believe this is the status bar at the top of the screen
SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > title_bar_portrait.png
--- I believe this is the notification toggle background if you have them
SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > (toggle buttons if you have them... right at the top of the folder)
SystemUI.apk > res > values > drawables.xml
--- shade_bgcolor is.... not sure :/ the notification header I believe (it was a nasty blue bar for me that says "no notifications" most of the time )
--- notification_header_text_color is the color of the text on that header
--- notification_number_text_color I'm not even sure if it's visible. I've never seen it and haven't changed it at all.
framework-res.apk > res > drawable-hdpi > status_bar_background.png
--- not completely sure if this changes anything but figured I'd throw it in
--- right after this is the status_bar_item_background_(focused/normal/pressed).9.pngs and they are the notification items that pop up, change color on press, etc.
The clear all button, I believe, is in SystemUI somewhere, pretty sure it's an xml.
The minus button that appears on the notification to clear is an image also in SystemUI I believe.
I think that's everything for the notification and status bar. Sorry again for the less informative answer. When I get home from work I'll try and check to see if you asked any more questions and I should have more time to explain the little I do know. Really hope this helped and good luck with the theme-ing! Looking forward to seeing new themes come for the X²!
Pretty much right on point... clear button is not an xml though.. except for text colors in these areas everything else is an image that can be edited

The images that UOT doesnt get (which btw works fine for most of the notification bar) are located in blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk.
I vaguely remember UOT working for the status bar a while back when I tried, but since I've been on Molten it doesn't seem to work. Not sure if it's unique to Molten or maybe gingerbread or whatever; I also don't have the knowledge to know. All I know is that on my phone right now, UOT doesn't work for status bar and bootanimation. Lockscreen started working after I got Molten v2 it seems... my guess is it really depends on what ROM, if any, you're using. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of curious to know.
UOT will work regardless the ROM your running. The only thing UOT will work for on our phone is the status bar/battery/icons/fonts mods.
You need to feed UOT the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the rom you are running. Be sure to select Amend scripting in the options on UOT and you are good to go.
That being said there are a few graphics/colors from the status bar that are not in systemui or framework-res.. you can find these in moto-res and blur-res.
Icons and battery work with UOT, just not status bar or boot animation. I haven't tried window transition so I'm not sure if that works.

If you are theming the stock 2.3.4 the background color where it says no notifications, on going, etc. is a hex color value in an XML file /drawable/shade_bgcolor.xml. (But in the Eclipse rom nitro changed it to point to an png image called title_bar_portrait.png.)
Thank you guys for all the answers. I really do appreciate it.
I found out what I was doing wrong based on them.
Now I'm on track Found everything I needed to. Thanks again!

okay. so with all of these conflicting posts its hard to determine if it will work to modify status/notification bar/window/pulldown.
but since IDMA is the only.one saying it wont work I am inclined to believe it WILL work and that IDMA is mistaken /doing something wrong somewhere. I hope someone smarter than me can help IDMA figure out what's going wrong. it would just be nice to have everyone on the same page good luck. sorry I don't really have any info on this.
You can nod status bar, but in UOT it gives SHTF errors. Talked to Mendozina about it and said it was something with the phone. You can mod it manually though.
If there is a way, then please please please tell me, it would make it easier!!

Not to deter you from UOT, but why I not change it manually? My experience w/ UOT was that it's limited in what you can do so recently I just stick to manually changing things.

I use it as a base, then I do manual changes. But I have a bug with the status bar right now so it would be easier to just use UOT to fix it out. The status I would just copy it over to my theme zip.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
The SHTF errors occur when you feed UOT a framework or systemui that has been previously modded incorrectly.. (ie when you go switching graphics and 9.pngs out without recompiling etc..) Try feeding it a stock systemui and framework from your framework..
For instance.. If your ROM is based on 2.3.3 take the stock 2.3.3 framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and feed it to UOT when you are done then you can anything you want back in.

Hey guys, anyone can show me how change the volume bar color and the lockscreen clock font, so it looks the same as ICS. I'm using CM7. Please tell my exactly what to do (what I use to ''open'' and close'' the needed files, what to change, what possible files to change, etc), because my knowledge isn't good at this.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
You need to flash the ICS font. I think it was called roboto or something along these lines. Search the forum, you will find it. Its a zip file.
Regarding the volume bar though - think u need to change framework.apk. not sure tho.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I don't think I need to flash the font. I use font changer, and it should change everything, even the clock, so I think it's framework related too, but I don't know how change it.

Never mind about the clock, I changed the Clockopia.tff for AndroidClock.tff and renamed it. But it still want to change the volume bar color.

I know that, but I have 3 MODs on my framework, and I must know what to change in the framework to change the color. There must be a code somewhere that says wich color is used for the bar.
you need to decompile framework. (there are milliond of guides on how) once done go to the res/drawable folder. In it look for the progress_horizontal.xml file. open that file with notepad or notepad++ to edit it. there are 3 sets of 3 colors in there. top group is for the background grey, you need to change the other two groups.
Also, if you know the hex color for ics off hand i will do the change and send you the file so you can drop it straight into the framework.

Thanks for your help. I will try to find the hex color from ICS, and after that I upload my framework. But I won't turn on my PC today. Tomorrow, after I wake up, I will upload it.
EDIT: Found color code. Can make sure is this one (I am on my phone), but here is it: FF33B5E5
EDIT 2: If possible, take some screenshots and send to me, only from the editing part. I was trying to do and I coudn't understand exactly how to change.

mate did you managed it to get the change of volume bar color like ics.
My un-ATTified SystemUI.apk.
Basicallly no carrier label, no ugly 4G icon (changed to G,3G,H,H+), should have no NFC icon (not sure I did the csc features edit), NFC quick settings icon set to international, 6 bar signal cluster.
3 things to do:
1) Add these 2 lines to /system/build.prop
ro.product.twname=jfltexx
ro.product.twdevice=jfltexx 2) in /system/app/ rename these:
SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak
SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak 3) paste new SystemUI.apk to /system/app/SystemUI.apk
This worked for me, I can't garentee it will work for you, and as such if you use this, know how to fix boot loops (mine never bootlooped doing though in the process of these mods, my SystemUI F/Ced until I got it just right. if SystemUI F/Cs have a backup. If you followed the directions just use root explorer to change SystemUI.odex.bak and SystemUI.apk.bak to their original file names.
What I did was changed what SystemUI/smali/com/android/statusbar/features.smali was using to get the phone build (it was looking at the last 2 letters on ro.product.name. Now it looks for last 2 letters in ro.product.twname) and changed the default from 4 bars max to 6 bars max. I used Nottach's hacks as a guide. I did both his changing the operator label to 0 pixels max and removal of the battery full icon. I also changed the ATT specific notification bar icons to match international, but I don't think they are even used now.
Thanks Nottach for pointing me in the right direction.
does this also affect the PHONE app? for mine, it replaced the Voicemail button on the lower left corner to what i believe is a 'video calls' button that doesn't work, at least on AT&T. im not sure if this is just me though.
thanks!

Hey everybody,
So I got Cyanogenmod 11 (the latest nightly) on my Nexus 5, and I use Nova Launcher Prime.
What I am trying to do right now is to get rid of the navigation buttons at the bottom completely (instead I use Pie Control)
So far I am using the expanded desktop mode, however, that doesn't work nearly as good as I hoped it would.
The problems are that a transparent NavBar appears quite often, when I use the keyboard they reappear and take space.
So far I tried to solve it with different launchers (but without success).
I tried to use apps like ultimate dynamic NavBar or GMD auto hide softkeys. All they do is put another layer of Navigation Buttons on top of the already existing Nav Bar (no idea why that happens).
I also tried to use Full!screen, and that worked pretty nicely, but the problem was that it always also disabled the status bar (which I want to keep).
I am that far and out of ideas, anyone who could help me?
Many thanks in advance
Open your root Browser and navigate to System > build.prop . Open the file, scroll all the way down and add this line: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 OR remove this line if existing: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
I do not guarantee for the first method^^ If none of them works or this is to difficult download "SoftkeyEnabler" from the Play Store (you can disable them with this app).
