I have the same problem...
Work requires a stock rom, and gave me a verizon m8 - but I need t-mobile.
Plugged in a t-mobile card - everything works but it displays an annoying foreign sim icon... just wondering if anyone has figured out how to hide that thing?
Thanks!

make a flashable.zip to flash in custom recovery.
use my template here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745680
either that or pull your ACC/default.xml, let me know your SKU_ID and I'll make the .zip for you.
or if you are on stock ROM I can just pull the default.xml from there, and I think your SKU_ID would be 33?

So the two 0's seemed to work fine, I didn't use a flashable zip in the end I found another way around. I copied the file to my desktop, edited it, renamed the original and then pasted in my new file worked fine.
So glad to be rid of the unknown sim popup and icon.

And it's gone. :victory:

I tried the trick on the provided link, change the region and the sku_id. However after doing this I've noticed that the bubble counter on the stock messaging app for the new messages was not showing. Additionally, the tabs inside the messaging app such as "All messages", "SMS/MMS", "Voice Mail" are messed up. Have you encounter this issue after changing the region and sku_id of your HTC M8?

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:

Converted HiAPN to system app in Titanium. Clicked AutoSet APN in HiAPN and worked right away. The issue is I am looking to sell the phone. Need to do a reset which deletes the APN info. Anyway we can do this without the app, meaning natively or at least have the ability to keep the info in APN and only remove my google account and apps (which I paid for etc.)?

Don't think that is possible, since once you reset it clears all that stuff and resets to defaults. I take it you're trying to sell where ever you are at now, and since the phone is built specifically for Verizon, it will revert back to those settings if its reset.

Yup, thats exactly what I'm trying to do. I did reset to factory and HiAPN is working (converted to system app via Titanium) and did an AutoAPN update and it worked.
Thoughts on installing a different ROM instead, i.e. AT&T?

No don't do that, never ever install a ROM that's made for a different variant, you can be left with a nice brick lol

Other custom ROM's out there for Verizon S3's that would make the APN natively editable and get rid of all that bloatware?

[Q] Does Sprint LG G Flex 2 full retail price paid come unlocked

Sprint unlocks devices launched after Feb 2015 under some circumstances. Did anyone try g flex 2 with full price paid on T-mo or at&t?
I was waiting for T-Mobile but when I spoke to them they didn't even know if they were going to carry the LG G Flex 2. So I ended up with sprint.
Just went ahead and got a Sprint model for $280 so I said whatevers.....But as far as I see it, when I put in my Cricket sim card, I got a invalid sim card message. So if anyone is seeing this, NO...it does not come unlocked out of the box. I am going to go ahead and try to do the MSL and all that stuff.
I got mine from sprint and paid in full. I then checked to see if I could get sim unlock and they told me that I had to wait 15 days since I was new to sprint. After the fifteen days I got on chat with sprint and they unlocked it for me. Hope this helps you.

[MOD] ☆UPDATE☆ Floating_Message

Thanks for the effort, but is there an uninstall zip yet, as I haven't been able to get it to work yet, and can't find any sign of its settings either. I'm on N920T also.

Im going to put together a manual instruction way to get it to work! I will post soon! In the meantime, go to privapp and delete air message and air message proxy and Secmms_delight_note_open folders, reboot! And that will remove
Manual instructions for Floating message:
Extract my zip and copy air message, air message proxy and Secmms_delight_note_open folders to system/priv-app folder and set permissions for both folder and apk.
Copy this line to feature.xml and others.xml at the bottom found in system/csc.
<CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage>TRUE</CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage>
Hit save after both and reboot!
Look in settings and floating meesage should be there and look like picture below.
These are the files and what i did to make it work! If it doest work, go back and make sure you have the 3 folders in privapp with correct permissions set for folder and apk and make sure you have that line in feature.xml and others.xml.
Pictures below show how permissions and xmls should look!
Hope this helps
