This is usually done through your build.prop.. Settings.apk reads it from there..Here is an example:
Code:
ro.build.display.id=
Find that and then change it to whatever you want it to display this id shows up here in settings (this is a TW ROM but samething):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is what mine looks like under the buil.prop
Code:
ro.build.display.id=N3BULA-I605VRUEMJ9
:good:
