How to change carrier string on lock screen and notification shade? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Straight Talk and am tired of seeing HOME on my lock screen and notification shade. Is there a root method that will let me change this to whatever I want? I understand some ROMs offer this feature but I'm looking to do it on the stock ROM.
Thanks.

Changing the colour at the top of the screen

Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to change the colour of the top bar on the screen (i'm not sure what the correct name for this is) but it has your carrier name, battery life etc. My phone isn't rooted, but can this be done in the settings or any apps for it?
It's called the Notification Bar
I don't think it is possible to do this without root

Torch (or at least Notification toggles) from lockscreen?

Is there a mod I can flash to allow the notification shade from the lockscreen? Would be nice to access Torch without having to unlock my device...
EDIT: I should point out that I don't use the lockring, and I like how 4.4 eliminates the lockring if you use a PIN for security.
EDIT 2: Even a (gigantic) Torch widget for the lockscreen would be acceptable.
So you're not able to pull down notifications or toggles from your lockscreen? By default you're able to but maybe not once you've set a password. There are many flashlight/torch widgets however.
There is a mod for Xposed called Notification Mod that enables you to pull down your notifications shade when you have a PIN lock. Couple that with the torch quick settings tile from GravityBox and you'll be good to go.

i use widgetsoid to add a torch toggle widget to the lockscreen, and i've just set my unlock to be pin rather than slide and it still shows up, so that might be worth looking into
We have a winner! This thing is perfect. Completely minimalist, it's just a small, or medium, or huge plain flat holo-style icon as a widget on the lockscreen. In all sizes, it's centered. Tap it and the LED goes on, tap it again and the LED goes off. Couldn't have asked for a better solution. And to think, I was just about to spend hours trying to figure out what the heck "Xposed framework" is and what ROMs it's compatible with and how to use it, just to get a flashlight on the lockscreen.
How is this not a feature in every ROM yet???

[Q] status bar-Carbon rom

I'm using Carbon ROM. I recently noticed that the status bar is active even in the lock screen(even with pattern), I'm able to get in by using the status bar-like I drag the status bar click on setting and I'm in. Really am shocked and wonder how I didn't notice it before.
any one else facing this prob or am I the exception.
All roms do this by default. To disable this, add PIN, Pattern or password. If that is not what you want, add a 3rd party lock screen

How to pull down notification bar on lockscreen

Hi, atm i have 2 s6 edges, both setup exactly the same, both with fingerprint to unlock lockscreen, on one i can pull down the notification bar on the lockscreen but in the other i cant. Ive tried changing from fingerprint to just swipe to unlock phone also set notifications to show all content but nothing works. Its such a pain to have to unlock phone just to get to the notification bar to put the phone on mute etc.
How can 2 exact phones setup the same have different behaviours.
Does anybody know a fix for this please ☺

How to display carrier name in home status bar?

Hi there!
There is a way to display the carrier (operators) name in home status bar? They only appear in lock screen status bar but not in home screen either.
Back in the days, there was an app, good app called ”PHONO” who did that, unfortunely the developr not updated for Android 10 also, and in A51 keep crashing.
There is another similar app which can do that or maybe a default, system way?
Thanks!
Did you find any way to do that? Im looking for this too
