[Q] Please Help!! :O

I recently Rooted my phone(Huawei Ascend) and I put CM7 on it as well, my phone works fine, but I have this annoying text on my notification pulldown and my lockscreen that says "Roaming Indicator Off" (When I'm Clearly Not Roaming!) My Carrier Name has Disappeared!
I've viewed at least 15 different threads on XDA, Droid forums, android forums, and even the CyanogenMod Forums that were sort of related to my problem but with no success....I'm pretty technology savvy so any help that will point me in the right direction would be truly appreciated. I attached a couple of screenshots of what I have to see daily. Please Help if you know how to either edit the text or just remove it completely cause its annoying and frustrating
Also, I didn't post this question in the thread for my phone because there is no thread for the Huawei Ascend Sadly.
My Phone Stats:
Huawei Ascend
Carrier(MetroPCS, Which is like Cricket)
Android Version 2.3.4
Kernel Version 2.6.29-perf
Mod Version Cm7-Ascend-05142011

Under Mobile Network Settings the Only thing that I have checked off is "Data Enabled",
International Data Roaming, and National Data Roaming are unchecked.
Also, under the National Data Roaming Option there is a System Select Drop-down box that gives me the option to change the "CDMA" Roaming Mode, I have it currently set to "Home", the other two options are Affiliated Networks and Automatic.
Any Suggestions?

Try changing it to automatic, that should do the trick

I changed It to Automatic then I rebooted my phone but it still says "Roaming Indicator Off" :O
Should I Try Switching On "National Data Roaming"? I'm Completely Lost with this one....

Yes, and if that doesn't work, try setting both roaming options on.
Is your phone currently activated on any networks?

Ok, I am currently activated through MetroPCS. I was considering doing as you say, to switch both Roaming options On, but I just did a little research to see if MetroPCS charges for roaming and the article that I read said that MetroPCS Charges for Roaming.
Should I go ahead and switch the options to Roaming?

No, I am in a area with service, everything works fine. So I dont think that I would get charged for Roaming unless I was somewhere where I couldn't get service?

Ok, I switched both Roaming Options on But, Sadly, no Success....
Maybe this is a lost cause?
I have considered attempting to access my phones files through my root and maybe tampering with the Text so that I could either get it to disappear or to say my name or something.....anything but "Roaming Indicator Off"

I turned my roaming settings on but still no success, maybe this is a lost cause?

Ok, so I tried the app that you directed me to but, sadly, still no success. But! I think I might be headed in the right direction! Well at least I think so.....
So I followed the link that you gave me, downloaded the app, nothing, read through the app's thread and tried alternative methods but nothing. But I found that some users who were experiencing difficulties found the solution to be to go into their "framework-res.apk" and to locate the "eri.xml" file and to simply delete it solves their problem and the app works perfectly. Should I try this? (Picture of File)
I also found after actually going into the "eri.xml" file that it says "Roaming Indicator" and "Roaming" in the file. Should I try to just go in and delete the text and replace it with my own?
I've already created a backup so Im just trying anything at this point :/

you should definitely try that.
you shouldnt be worried if you have a backup already since you can restore if anything messes up. but it shouldnt

Ok I tried going in and editing the text as well as just deleting the entire eri.XML file but I get a message saying I don't have the necessary permissions! What program should I be using to make changes to system files on my phone? I thought I could do it in astro manager

I tried viewing the file in the app you sent me but everytime I select it, it brings me to the application install screen because it's a .apk file. I then tried long pressing it and choosing the open with - file editor but it takes me to the encoding of the entire .apk file and it's all in some kind of Asian writing
When I get to the framework-res.apk file what should I be doing so that I can view the files within the application? I was able to view the files in the app through astro file manager but it would not let me make changes to the eri.XML
Sent from my Huawei Ascend using XDA Premium App

If you want to make changes to the file, you are going to have to decompile framework-res.apk and then edit the eri.xml. do you know how to decompile?

No I don't know how to decompile

[APP] Auto Cheesecake v2.0 (7/4/12) !!Deodexed roms only!!

All good now, huge thanks to Joser1309 for the modified blur-services.apk that made this possible. go thank his post in here. Sorry it took so long to post this, I kind of forgot about it.
Only works on Deodexed roms for now
Please also answer the poll at the top honestly
What is this?
I have reworked phydo's original source for the cheesecake app we have been using and made it quite a bit faster to use than before. I have also cleaned up and commented the code a bit for those of you who want to take a look at the source.
How to use
It is very important that everyone on here is checking cheesecake as much as possible. Hopefully multiple times per day.
To use this first flash the attached zip with our bootstrap CWM recovery, then install the app. Click the button to go to the next server and check for an update. if you get a wifi error, that server is down. Most will be. select "skip setup for now" and go back to the app and click the button to go to the next. Continue to due this until you get through all the servers.
What to do if you find an update
DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!!
Instead download it right away so you don't miss it, then copy it out of /cache with a root explorer app or use adb to pull it. Upload it somewhere and post it in a thread or PM me and I'll get it to the right people.
What's next and other Ideas
This app is not done. I would like to make it even more automated if I can figure out how. If you have any ideas on how to make it continue after failing or getting an update please share.
I also think we need to get more organized with our Cheesecake checking. Maybe organize time for everyone to check so we can cover the whole day. Let me know if you think it would be a good idea to create a google calendar where everyone can put the time they will check, so we can all check at different times. Any other ideas are of course welcome as well.
Source
Please PM me if you would like the source code. I have no problem giving it to people, but since it is not entirely mine, I want to know who I have given it to.
Files
Sorry, I don't know why the attachments were down, they were up when i first posted them

Well that was fast. Lol
It seem like i got a hit on almost every server ( your device is upto date) * i never get this lucky*
Coincidence?
I kinda zipped through it, so I'll check again.
It still seems odd that i got so many hits.......lucky i guess.

I've been getting wifi errors on every single server since I went to scv6, so I don't know, but as long as it is "almost" every server that tells me that it is changing it correctly so I guess it is working. If it was every server I would suspect that it was not changing properly.

Just went threw the servers got a bunch if devices is up to date and no wifi errors

hmm, it may not be working right if you didn't get any wifi errors. did you make sure to hit setup first? try using the regular cheesecake app and see what happens.

This ***** is great. Much easier to use and a lot quicker. Thank you a hundred times over.

did it work right for you? were some servers down or did they all say up to date?

Just tried it... every server is ostensibly up and running and up to date- even servers that are down with normal cheesecake.

Could you add a check for update button that doesn't change servers in the case of "Check for update unavailable.." messages so we can recheck the same server?

Servers are up. They all said up to date. I have been through all of them about 4 times already.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

So, no more manual select for which servers, right? This app will just go through the list one by one if a server is down or no updates are found? This will save a buttload of time, thanks for working this!

Used regular cheesecake and went back to yours and it is wanting a wifi connection on all servers. It is telling me it is switching servers but like you said it may not be.

Swiftkey 3 Keyboard Free

Hey guys, I downloaded this app. I was just wondering if there was some sort of Trial period on it, because it says Swiftkey 3 Trial.

If I remember correctly it is good for 30 days. I bought the paid version and honestly I am not that impressed. Prefer stock Android keyboard.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I think it's a seven(7) days of the trial. I've bought this app when it was SwiftKey not x, beta 3, or 3. It's a great keyboard and if you purchased it back when it first came out you would be impressed of how far it has come. The predictions are great once it learns the way you text plus it has themes and the languages it supports because I use English and Spanish at the same time and one keyboard for this is great no need to switch to English and then back to Spanish. So try the trial period and see what you come up with.

Thinking about paying for it, but it keeps losing the preference as default input method. A few times it would just stop working in the middle of writing an SMS. You could hit any key you want but nothing happens; the cursor just keeps blinking until you leave SMS and then try again. I am not sure if it's the app or the ROM (AOKP).

"I don't have that problem" is counter-productive. If you don't have a solution just don't contribute tvotony

I mean, it could help point you in the direction of where the problem is originating . But yeah, I've actually had the same problem. I thought it was just Swiftkey bugging up at first.

Which files to delete Android Market App

Hey, I was wondering which files do I need to delete in order to remove the Android Market app? My phone is rooted of course, and looking under /system/app it looks like there's no Android Market app per se, but looks like it's either located somewhere else or I need to delete a combination of different apk's in order to get rid of it. So I was wondering if anyone here knows where it's located or which apk's I need to delete exactly. Thanks for any help.

Under /system/app its called "vending.apk"

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure that's the only one? Would removing vending.apk have any side effects (other than apps not updating through the market anymore)?

There won't be any side effects, and that should simply be the market app. Nothing else to uninstall

Okay, thanks a lot for the info.

I understand that. However this is the only theme "I" have come across requesting so many.

Developers want to ask for many permissions as they don't know what they will need from their users in future, so it's better to have more permissions

permissions
Guys permissions depends on the app, think Torch app only need Camera and Flash permission if they require GPS permission that is strange...

Themer ask too mutch permission. After installed on my testing phone, it doesn't work at all, but send all my fake content...

Well it's not as many as Facebook.... sigh ..
