Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I've messed around with android for a little while. I'm trying to figure out how to change my carrier name. I've read countless posts on how to do it, and I'm so close.
The problem is, when I edit eri.xml in a hex editor (I've tried 3), I can't seem to find "Metro PCS" anywhere! Not even "Metro". It seems like it might be encrypted or something. I checked out my friend's tmobile mytouch 4g and the same issue. Have the carrier's decided to encrypt this information?
Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone successfully done this on an Lg Esteem? I appreciate any help, thanks!

Does anyone have an idea of how to go about this or what to try?
little late, but better then never
if you go to android forums and check out the esteem section, all things root, there is a guide on this.
I'm guessing you are familiar with decompiling and compiling your rom. so go to framework/framework-res.apk/res/values folder and edit the 'strings.xml' with notepad++ search for Metro PCS and simply delete that and replace with your custom text.

Open mobile has the hero but I'm no longer using mine since I got an evo. I was wondering if I could get it working on open mobile so I could give it to my sister. Anyone done anything like this before?
Well first I would suggest posting this is the correct section. Q&A is wat ur needing. Please read the rules.
Now u would have to get the PRL from open Mobile along with the Epst settings in order for it to work. Never heard of them so best I can say is do research on finding this info.

Thanks, they are a mobile network exclusive to puerto rico. Thought this would go under Dev since I figured I'd have to get that info dumped from one of their hero phones (Any idea how to do this?). Or could I just call them and do the whole number on the back of the phone game and update PRL? I'll poke around with one and write a howto when i get it done.
Heres a little help

has a tutorial you can use to change and editing settings with pictures, but dont use the included PRL or APN as they are for PagePlus. Just replace revelent settings for Open Mobile, If you could get ahold of one of their phones, you could retrieve appropriate settings with QPST
First Go To Open Mobile and Ask Them...
Thanks. I'll try that tutorial when i get to work later. If I get the files ill post them for others to use. Also I tried moving the thread but I couldn't find the option :/

Admins have to mode the thread .
If you could at the VERY least get a PRL for them you will easily have talk/txt working, harddest part is getting internet and MMS working.
I used this tutorial to provision my Hero for PagePlus (verizon) and liked it so much I uploaded to personal server instead of linking to hosting site where ads/pops and wait times are a pain.
Didn't wake up in time D: I'll have to try tomorrow.
Mods please move if not in the right place.
So I recently used qpst on my htc arrive to do a manual prl change. While it was a pain in the ass to setup does anyone know how I could change the proxy settings also? I read on the android sections that ppl were changing the http/rstp to 0.000.000 etc and that downloads were increased. Since the arrive does not give you the options of the android phones, I thought this would be my best bet. If anyone has advice on this subject or where I can find a tutorial please let me know.
I've been trying out the various nightly builds for XBMC on android that kemonine96 has been working on, and after doing a lot of searching trying to find a solution to something suggested, i figured I'd ask here. I own and use a Toshiba Thrive 10', and it was suggested to edit the build.prop files touch sensitivity because the thrive is apparently a bit underwhelming in this area when using the program. trouble is, i have been completely UNABLE to find what the listing is for said setting. If I've been missing something obvious, I'd be grateful for someone to point it out and hand me the dunce cap. but any help would be appreciated.

You can edit a build prop by searching build prop editor on the play store or you can download rom toolbox and edit the build prop...Must be rooted!!

Use root explorer. Long press the file. Select "open in text editor".

I have an SGS3 4G (i9305) and want to hardcode date and time, or date+time+location into an image and apparently the native phone camera doesn't support this so I am looking for an app that can do it for me.
I have tried LGCamera and Vignette neither of which supports it or I can't find it one way or the other. So if someone knows where I can either find it in one or both of those apps and get it working....
OR can direct me to another app or solution to my problem I would very much appreciate it. I have tried googling for the answer but didn't find anything really conclusive and it seems a lot of people are actually requesting it....
And yes I know the EXIF info is saved in the file, but thats not what I want. I want it hardcoded into the actual image...
But thanks in advance for the help, and heres to me hoping someone might be able to help me
Cheers
Anyone that knows?
Hi there,
I tried the search function but maybe I did not use the right terms since I did not get an answer. So please accept my apologies if this question has already been answered and point me to the corresponding thread.
I would like to know whether one could copy the Samsung app SmartStay to another non-Samsung device. Did someone already tried this?
Cheers,
Anton
If I would like to code this myself, do you see any big issues? Of course, I need a phone with a front camera but are there other prerequisites? Has anyone already coded something like this?
