[Q] how to remove "AT&T" from my notification/status bar? - Motorola Atrix 2

Can anyone please tell me how to remove that obnoxious "AT&T" from the precious real-estate of my notification/status bar? It takes the space of at least 2 notification icons. Thus making them que, rather than appear in the bar, where I can quickly glance and know if I should bother with dragging it down and taking action.
I'd also be interested in learning how to remove the clock from the bar, as well.
Many Thanks,

does the lack of response mean I have to wait for a custom rom?

I think the phone will have to be deodexed in order to change anything like that

This is done in the eri.xml. The eri.xml is in the framework-res.apk.

Do changes to that apk need to be signed?

Yes. For the odex rom you would need to edit and recompile and sign the apk before pushing it back. You can probably sign it with test keys and it be fine but you never know. I am afraid to try anything until we have a road to recovery!

metamorph file changes please read

So I did I metamorph to change my 3g icon and when I look through my file managers, whether its astro or root explorer I can't seem to find that file or same icon, iv done a search and it comes up with nothing. But from just looking around I can find different 3g icons but not the one I'm running. So I guess my question is, is there a way to find it or get rid of the morph I did?
Metamorph applies the image to the apk itself so the only way to view the file or revert back to what you had, you will either have to download and decompile the apk or reflash the previous apk to revert back.

4.Set the permission like the last attached picture.
5.Reboot.

I'm not sure which tab your are talking about, because when I add favorites
the contacts font is black.
Edit: If you mean the search result, The color is fixed.

You don't need a rooted device to use this dialer but in order to replace the files
into your /system/app, you need to use an app like Root Explorer which needs a
rooted device.

You should have made a backup of systemui.apk and framworkres.apk that way if anything goes wrong or its smthing you don't like you can manually push them back and undo your mistake or put things back to normal.

Extract the zip of the ROM you're using. Get the apks from that and push them back to system/apps reboot.

You need to get some sort of file explorer/manager from the market that has root access.
I use "root explorer", but there are many others.
My animations are already off so this will be good. Thanks.

[MOD] [GUIDE] Remove Lockscreen carrier info

Who hates the carrier name on the lock screen? Me too,
Delete the following file and it will go away....
/system/csc/customer.xml
If you feel like figuring out which line of code generates the carrier label feel free, i didnt...lol. So I just deleted the whole file.
Enjoy
Thanks Button.

I tried this but unfortunately it didn't remove the carrier from my lockscreen. I'm in Australia and on Vodafone AU. I searched all the customer.xml files and found 1 for Australia and removed that with no success. Any ideas? I really want that carrier text to go away! :laugh:
