How to change the Devicename? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I ha´ve to change my DEVICENAME to Another one. I use an Application that Requires the Original Rom Name, but i wont use the Original Rom. Can Anybody help me. I think the Application ist looking for the Name in:
Start/Settings/System/Deviceinformation/Identity/Modell-Nr.
Thanks A lot.
Muppel

model number is not the device name. look at start > settings > system > about > device id > device name. some programs like themissingsync or using bluetooth or whatever rely on device name but i dont think model number matters for anything.

start /settings/ personal/owner information , first entry boxx

no no no, not what I want
No, sorry. But this is not what i want. I have to change the realy Devicename. I think it comes with the Rom.
You can find the Name 2 Lines over the IMEI (same field).
Maybe it is written in the "ModelName.txt" in the Windowsfolder. But I can´t change the Name (it is in the Rom and not possible to change).

what to do with extROM ?

hello, i have unlocked extRom, but I cant use it for nothing. when i try to install something on it, after install files just disappeared. same thing with mp3 etc...
second problem - my device doesnt recognize service provider name, only number - 28403. please help me to patch registry for op name: Vivatel
10x in advance
please help !
1.u have only made the extended rom unhidden, not unlocked. Use the unlock tool provided on this forum(search )
2.the fix to change the provider is not permenant. Even if you change the text in registry, it ll roll-back to old name after soft-reset.

[Q] Various android-related queries

I have managed to compile (from source) and install CM7.2 on my HTC dream, but my questions below are related to Android:
1. Is there a way to find out which packages (.apk) were installed on my system and if so, how do I do that?
2. Is there a way to find out each package dependencies (I need to figure out this as I am bent on removing the vast amount of guff installed on the phone - I won't need 90% of this stuff)?
3. Similarly to 2 above - is there a way to look at dependencies of a package not yet installed on my system (i.e. the .apk file)?
4. How do I actually remove a package for good from the system?
5. Similarly to 3 above, how do I actually install a package from within the root system - I know I can do this via adb, but is there a way to do this inside the, say, command line terminal?
6. Is there a way to alter (understand remove) certain program permissions which I could see "granted" to a particular program/package? I know there are various ways to look at these, but I wish to remove permissions I am not happy being granted to that particular program/package.
And one last a bit more advanced query: I would like to build a single package from the source tree and then install the resulting .apk file on my system.
Basically, I will try to upgrade a package with a new revision and add a few patches to the package source of my own before compiling it and building it again.
I usually build the whole lot (all packages + the rootfs image itself) with "mke bacon", but if I want to alter the source and build a single package how do I do that?
I am not very familiar with the Android make system, so I don't want to go heads-first into something and make a real mess of it.
Thanks a lot for any assistance given.
Small addition as apparently I cannot post a reply (too few posts) in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9055790#post9055790
Question to ezTerry (if he is reading this!): the advice given in that post above was absolutely splendid! I followed it religiously and it worked an absolute treat!
There is one exception though - I've LOST all of my IMEI, IMEI SV and Baseband information after applying these fixes. As soon as I installed the radio updates and then installed my newly-compiled kernel + CM7.2 (successfully!) I then checked the above fields from Settings and they were all gone!
After a while, the baseband, IMEI and IMEI SV appeared, but the IMEI and IMEI SV stuff have now different values than what I've had previously (I've had T-Mobile IMEI, now it appears that I was "assigned" O2 IMEI & IMEI SV values - very bizarre!).
Is this something I need worry about and (I don't yet have a sim card, but I plan to get one soon after I fix my phone), more importantly, how the hell do these IMEI numbers appeared on my phone - where did they came from?!

Any takers?
@1 Check out the respective directories, i.e. for system apps /system/app
@2 Trial and Error, or someone might have made such a list for your device already
@3 No simple way, you would have to look through the decompiled code i guess
@4 Remove the apk from the folder (for example /system/app) and reboot your device, after wards you might have to clean up some extra folders, i.e. settings of that app. (you can use SD Maid from my signature for that)
@5 Some can just be installed the usual way, by opening it. Some .apk files have to be put in the system folders, afterswards reboot and the app should be "installed". To put those apps there use a rootcapable file explorer of your choice. To edit /system you will need to remount it as it is read only by default, you can do that through command line, but most good file explorers have an option for that.
@6 Yes thats possible, there was an app to do that, just not sure what it was called... It is very likely though, that those apps will not work correctly or just FC.
For the make system, if you just change a package, and build again, it will most likely just rebuild the changed files. I'm not so sure either though... damn make system can be pretty messy... and get upset real fast if you change something ;-).

Yep, that indeed helped - I didn't realise that the .apk files are "intact" and do not behave in the "standard" (in Linux terms) way a "package" behaves - the app is "installed" as soon as .apk is placed in /data/app or /system/app. The PacketManager does the rest on reboot.
It also cleans up the mess "automagically" if I delete .apk file and reboot, which is nice.

Yeah, that's a real bugger - I can't see a way of finding the dependencies, but I haven't looked properly at "pm" (the Package Manager command line tool) - maybe I could use something there.

A very simple example will issustrate my point - my calendar application is installed and needs some sort of GOOGLE_MAIL and access to the internet permissions, neither of which I am happy to grant, because 1) I won't be using online calendars; and 2) I won't use (google) mail.
The truth is, I deliberately did not install any google apps as I won't be using any of them - ever!
Now, every time I boot up and look at my log files with logcat I see a bunch of error messages that this application (the calendar) needs a bunch of permissions which do not exist (naturally, as I haven't installed a single google app on my phone).
So, I wish to wipe out these permissions from the calendar so that logcat is not filled with junk every time I start my phone.
As I already pointed out above, there are also some installed apps who are listed to "need" permissions I am not happy to grant - like the internet access to calendar for example (there are more apps, but I think you get the point).

Yeah, that was my plan B - there must be another - easier - way though.
I wish to update a lot of stuff (I will be recompiling/refreshing existing packages as well as adding new things I developed for "standard" Linux), but with this Android make system I am blind - it is very different to what I am used to in the Linux world.
To top it all off, I can't post in any of the devs forums yet as I do not have 10 posts!
Further to my previous post - I just found out a superb article about stripping out Android and removing unnecessary packages from it - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
It lists various dependencies and shows what could be deleted and what cannot be - what I wanted really.
My only remaining problem - at least for now - is the making of specific packages without building the whole image.

BBANANA WF07 Ultimate Edition "update.zip" link not working

Hi Bbanana
My phone was SHW-M110S desperately looking for upgrade to 2.3.6
first i downloaded & used Samsung ROM, which looks just a base version & i was unable to see IMEI no (*#06#) it always says UNKNOWN APPLICATION, + other minor annoying issues , then i started checking every ROM mentioned below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856992
finally when i installed "BBANANA WF07 Ultimate Edition" Really nice , i could simply see my IMEI no & also has better look, really this ROM is strongly recommendable ( it is not only just fast but has little Chinese/Korean default applications )
But, one small thing like,
in top slider i do see "Data" "WiFi" enable/disable symbols , but those does not look working as intended
meaning if i wanted to enable "Data" 3G internet i should go to "Settings ->3G data Call Settings -> Enable/Disable"
Is there any fixed version of this available ?
what is this "Update.zip"
This lik does not seem working , can u update this ?

Change Your TWITTER UI

I just wanna make simple thread. No bloatware
So guys I found interesting thing here, that is twitter UI feature switch files.
It is located in android > data > com.twitter > cache
So we know that different devices have different UI, here I managed to get 3 UI as for now.
-BubbleUI
-FabUI
-FlatUI
Or whatever the name applies it is not important tho idgas
So thats it, download the UI you want and replace it in android > data > com.twitter > cache
Dont forget to rename the feature switch files according to your user id numbers at the back of your original feature switch file.
Copy the id first, then you can paste it. If not, It wont work.
If you have any other UI beside this, feel free to share
Hit thanks if you use this. Its free :laugh:

Thank you, I will check it out
They don't work with the latest update.
If you rollback to version 5.69.0 they work.
On the version that they worked on, after a few minutes the switches would get overwritten to the original ones.
I'm in Ireland and the highlights function isn't available unless you change the switches file.
For the newest version only the highlights function is available when you use these files.

[Resolved] PLEASE HELP, no call id, my phone does not recognize the international country code

PLEASE HELP...
My phone is TCL M3G, LEWA OS, version 3.1 (multi language LEWA ROM ), android version 5.0.2 64bit.
(i know chinese phone etc, but ....)
I have call id problems (on phone and sms/mms), my phone does not recognize the international country code (prefixes).
Stock phone application in my phone, when I call my a number from my contacts for example +300123456789 all fine, but when I called the (same) number 0123456789 is unknown (because there is no +30 or +7).
What can I do?
Can I delete the stock phone app? Try TruePhone application and other applications, but nothing when there is an incoming or outgoing call ( from my contacts) does not have the call identifier.
So when I called the number with the international code of the country that my phone does not recognize the international country code .... and the number is unknown.
It is difficult to add at all my contacts number with country code and the number without the country code ..
Try different thinks of the Internet, but nothing....https://www.google.gr/search?hl=el&...=android+phone+doesn't+recognize+country+code and https://www.google.gr/search?biw=12......1c.1.64.serp..9.6.1460...30i10.nuNIzki2YMg
Try to make all my contacts in the international format, but when I call a number from my contacts, without international format (without a country code in the national format) does not have the call identifier.
This is a common problem for android phones, but the solution is deferent on deferent android versions .... I think. It is necessary to make changes on android system components, to make modifications on the ROM.
PLEASE HELP...

Hello,
Finally in my case this is the solution (tested on my phone and work fine)....
After so much searching and reading on Internet the solution is the editing of the system file build.prop ("/system/build.prop").
This is the editing (edit some code and adding some new code):
# lewa begin, for number match
persist.env.c.phone.matchnum=10
# lewa end
# Country code fix,phone,sms
ro.phone.min_match=10
# Fix end
editing
persist.env.c.phone.matchnum=10 > change the number from 11 to 10
10 in my country is the total numbers of a phone number without international country code (+39 or 0039 etc), put the correct number for you...how match digits is on your country?
and
adding new code
# Country code fix,phone,sms
ro.phone.min_match=10
# Fix end
the text after "#" it is just a free text message.
After editing reboot your phone and maybe must delete your contacts (or clear data contacts storage) and restore contacts form SD card or from your Google account (synchronizing your contacts).
You must sure the changes on build.prop has saved (please check, open it via root explorer as text).
Make the changes like that:
via root explorer you can see the permissions of build.prop (save a copy of original file) > copy the build.prop on yous SD card > open it via text editor and make the editing > then delete the system/build.prop file > copy the editing build.prop file from your SD card to system/ > give it the correct permissions > clear call log > reboot your phone.
The solution is from here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23092
THANKS
