For those of you who are using cm10 builds and are tired of seeing Verizon Wireless on your lockscreen and notification pulldown this will allow you to remove or change it to something else. I take no credit for this all credit goes to spunks3 for making the post over in the nexus forums, I just tried his method and it happened to work on our phone, also belair56 for the original find as well as dakota0206 for his post on the thread giving the correct eri.xml.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MODS SUCH AS THIS!
1) Download eri.xml onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.
2) Open "eri.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit everywhere you see "Whatever you want or delete this and nothing will show up". You can simply change the text or delete the text between the quotations and nothing will show up.
3) Save "eri.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "eri.xml" from your SD card to "/data" directory. Please make sure you are not placing it in /sdcard/data
5) Also make sure that eri.xml has the same permissions as in the thumbnail below.
6) Reboot, and Enjoy!

Confirmed working on paranoid android version 2.13
Hey thanks for this! I'm also using PA2.13 so should be easy. May I ask where you got that battery circle mod? In the meantime I'll search it. Thanks again.

was this it? Sorry to crowd the thread.
BTW got it working =D
Glad you got it working and actually I just pulled the images from an old copy of my systemui.apk when I had syngergy rom. Just modded my current systemui.apk, swapped out the images and edited the appropriate xmls.
Just tried on Paranoid 2.13 and it didnt work for me

It shouldn't really make any difference but what kernel are you using and did you follow the directions exactly? Also make sure you are putting eri.xml in /data and not in /sdcard/data also make sure eri.xml has the following permissions in the picture below.

It wasn't working for me either until I changed the permissions to above. Do any of the other comments in that file do anything? Kinda weird that it isn't there in the first place. Thanks, op.

Its just how the original xml was it doesn't do anything in fact if you really wanted to you could delete all the text above this first line
<EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="19" EriFileType="1">
And glad the permissions fixed it for you
This is pretty cool. Thanks for testing it and posting.

Yeah it is a Touchwiz rom based on AT&T's JB leak. I will take a look in the framework.

Which ROM are you currently using???? If its cyanogenmod based then goto google play and search for "CM7/9/10 themes mdpi". You'll get a pretty good list but most of them are paid. Apply them and change them in themes. Most of the themes are designed for xhdpi/hdpi devices. You need to resize the apk file to suit mdpi screen.

Not sure, but I think you can decompile the app using apktool or similar and find a folder with all the fonts, replace the fonts and recompile

your wrong on all accounts and no its not worth a try.
1. the font settings are in the system settings.xml for the rom not in the apk
2.there is nothing to change inside the apk.
3.the systems fonts are located in the fonts folder in the rom not in the apk for the acuwether.
4.I fixed the problum in the settings.xml & in put the missing fonts in the fonts folder.

Can anyone address me to a dark themed google now launcher? I had it in Thyrus dark theme for terminus rom and, since I don't know how to extract that feature (for my own personal use, of course) from the theme, I was wondering if there's a ready-made version somewhere.

Thanks a lot. I'll look for it. Could you tell me which one, if at all possible? I don't if this is the right place to ask, but I sure know you're the right person to ask something to! What makes a theme specific to a rom or group of roms? I'd like to know because I'd love to learn how to make my own themes or use some theme for my purposes (I hope there's nothing against the unwritten rules of this world).

There's a few material / dark themes. I had a look but it wasn't in the one I thought. That's either because it was the wrong one or it had been removed. Maybe ask in each thread if they theme Google launcher. I've definitely seen it but I thought it was the one by vivek.
As for why themes are ROM / build specific...
Themes are a combination of replacing images and editing XML files. These are mostly in framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
The easiest way to make a theme is to use these apk from a specific ROM. However, these apk ate specific to a specific ROM or build. For example ROM SlimLP has different features to stock so therefore has different code in these apk, so wrong apk, phone will boot loop. Same is true between 5.0.1 and 5.0.0 etc
There are more complicated ways to theme using things like ZipThemer. This will add your changes to the files that are on the phone already. This means it is more compatible than the easier method, as long as you don't change files that have special code from the Dev in them.

Thanks a lot for the explanantion. I will investigate a little more along the line you indicate.
Happy new year and thanks again (already hit the button!)
Theoretically, if i have a theme for a specific rom but for different update (same Google version, same build), i could extract the the file, replace the framework and system apks with the ones of the new update, re-compress the file and then flash it as a new theme? Seems a bit too easy, but IT makes sense, I think.

If your referring to V4A instead of a different addon by the Viper Rom community then just d/l either of the OGD Deodexed Roms we have and V4A works perfect and if you have a car with a system hold onto your windows, it sounds pretty sweet! Like wake the neighborhood with a factory Ford Shaker 1000 system have my phone hooked up with a aux cable running V4A with the Super Driver and Advanced Controls tuned. It will get you in trouble if you go by a cop and the town has noise ordinance.

Has been a few years. I quit making roms and themes about two years ago. Well roms first, then the themes. When Samsung came out with the QMG images, that was it. I had enough of jumping thru loops to make a theme for the Note 4. Love the phone, hated the OS for the phone.
So bud, are you do any theming for the Note 5. Maybe you can give me a hand. I am a little confused on what can and can not be done. The reason I was able to do a basic theme was the framework-res and systemui was already converted. I read the previous app used to convert the images to png's doesn't work for this phone. So let me know if you know how to convert the qmg's to png's, or anyone here that can help.

Yeah ... I haven't been too involved myself. Some a few tweaks on the S4. I have been planning to develop some custom boot images (my specialty ... haha). Really just looking at cleaning things up first. I know rlmiller and tdunham are both pretty involved with this device. They might be able to provide some insight.
Anyway ... good to see a familiar face.

No problem I tried yesterday on the settings apk and had no problem with any png's. So the conversion still works for the Note 5. That's what I get for reading one post and taking that as fact. I use VTS for decompiling and reconpiling and had no problems with the framework-res, systemui and the systems apk's. But when I try to recompile a couple of other's. Like the Samsung keyboard even without changes they give a Java error. I have updated both apktooland smali files to the latest. But that didn't help, still get the same error. I applied for Samsung Theme it twice and was declined both times. Something about I didn't provide enough information about the themes I have already done. Not sure what they are looking for. I provided linked images to some 20 themes and roms I have done.... Maybe that's it, they don't people who know how to hack their phone.

In the search field, type picconv. Should be the 1st link. Beware V2.1 converts the 9.qmg to regular .PNG images. If u want to edit .9. images u will need to add the black lines. Hopefully the developer will get this fixed soon.
As far as Samsung goes, I think if u provide proof of themes u have make. And the link is a post on XDA u are blacklisted. Samsung straight out told me in a phone conversation that they do not want us rooting our phones. Yeah, they want to control the themes available and make money doing it.
