So far all my searches on how to remove the carrier from the drop down notification bar focus on changing the string value to something else or blanking it out. I would like to remove that whole section. I am on Rogers and my carrier is not listed in eri.xml, so that is not an option anyway.
I found some interesting info on this site:
http://www.absolutelyandroid.com/ui-tweaks-on-cm6-a-tutorial/
which explained some bits inside status_bar_expanded.xml from the framework-res.apk. I am not that familiar with the code (yet) but wondered what would happen if I removed the chunk that refers to "plmnLabel" and "spnLabel"? Could I safely remove that wasted space that tells me what I already know (that I'm on Rogers network).

The only reason I don't intend to remove the next level of nested FrameLayout tags is because the Clear button appears in it. I'm not sure what to do about that.
Eventually, I would like to figure out how to add power control toggles to this are (much like some other themes/roms have done).
Any thoughts?
I found a little more info (not directly helpful to what I want to do) that will help blank the carrier if that is all you want to do.

But I did find a file located on my phone that lists many providers with their details (from all continents):
/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/r2r/client/preloaded_config.xml
Gonna take a browse through that and look for "Rogers".
i would like to ask whether anyone can help me with this or at least tell me whether it is possible to edit or not.
Volume Step sound in Sense 4.0 is "do re mi fa so la ti", total/max 'steps' count is 7. Original files name in '/system/media/audio/ui' are 'Volume-1.aac' to 'Volume-7.aac'
But after changing Volume Step in Tweak to "Finest", the max count became 15. Then the Volume Step sound became "do re mi fa so la [(ti) x 9]"
I wish to customize/add Volume Step sound of 8th step and above, so i played around with those "Volume-*.aac" in '/system/media/audio/ui/'. I tried duplicating those files and rename up to "Volume-15.aac" and restarted device, but there is no effects.
Which file (for example build.prop) in '/system/' should i edit, in order to make 'Volume-8.aac' to 'Volumn-15.aac' work?
Thanks in advance.
In order to add that resource I'm guessing you'll need to edit Settings.apk>res/xml/soundsettings.xml
The device will not play a resource that doesn't exist in the base.
Thanks for your quick response. =)
I google-ed around and installed apktool.
Below are the codes from the xml files, but i don't know which to edit. Any help here?

GROGG88,
after cross-checking titles in '\res\xml\sound_settings.xml' with '\res\values\strings.xml', I found out that editing sound_settings.xml doesn't help.
Can you please check it out?
Thank you very much =)
I'll put it on my list of things to do. I'm out of town right now...
hello i need your help with modifying the systemui.apk from touchwiz.
to start off i have decomplied the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk in my android dev linux vmware machine, i did load in the framworks + the twframework.
what i am trying to do is remove the brigness slider and the quick setting toggles from the notifaction bar and i did so by removing these lines from layout/tw_status_bar_expaneded.xml and i edited it on eclipse
<com.wanamlite.systemui.quickpanel.PowerWidget android:id="@id/exp_power_stat" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/notification_panel_header_height" />
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="@id/quicksetting_scroller" android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="@dimen/quick_setting_button_height" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/tw_notification_panel_header_height">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicksetting.QuickSettingPanel androidrientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/quicksetting_container" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:divider="@drawable/tw_black_bg" android:showDividers="middle" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
and
<LinearLayout androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#ff000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="56.0dip">
<LinearLayout androidrientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="55.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/brightness_icon" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="13.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_brightness" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_brightness_icon" />
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/brightness_group" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.ToggleSlider android:id="@id/brightness" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" systemui:text="@string/status_bar_settings_auto_brightness_label" />

</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<View android:background="#ff091a24" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1.0dip" />
</LinearLayout>
after i did that i recomiled it with apktool and it had no problems, i copyed the orignal androidmanifest and meta-inf into the modified apk, zipaligned and made a flashable zip
when i booted the phone i had no status bar and the systemui was crashing so i restored it and i got it back but now i have no mtp connection to the computer nor do i have adb

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@id/closeImg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle>
with this
HTML:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="35.0dip">

now recompile and flash or push and Enjoy
Guide How To Natively Change Lock Screen Carrier Label Text Verizon S5
First thing you need to do is decompile Keyguard.apk located in system/privapp
Find keyguard_emergency_carrier_area.xml in res/layout-sw360dp.
Look for line: "should be line 8"
<com.android.keyguard.CarrierText android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" android:textSize="@dimen/kg_status_line_font_size" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:id="@id/carrier_text" androidaddingBottom="5.0dip" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#7f000000" android:shadowDy="2.0" android:shadowRadius="2.0" android:textAllCaps="@bool/kg_use_all_caps" android:fontFamily="roboto-regular" style="@style/keyguard_text_shadow" />
Change to and save file
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/kg_status_line_font_size" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:ellipsize="marquee" androidaddingBottom="5.0dip" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:text="@string/mytext" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#7f000000" android:shadowDy="2.0" android:shadowRadius="2.0" android:textAllCaps="@bool/kg_use_all_caps" android:fontFamily="roboto-regular" style="@style/keyguard_text_shadow" />
Then open res/values/strings.xml
Look for line 304. Add a line right below line 304 as follows:
<string name="tts_temperature">Degree</string>
303 <string name="keyguard_guest_mode_help_text">"Swipe to switch to %s's home screen"</string>
304 <string name="keyguard_clock_with_battery">%s battery power</string>
305 <string name="mytext">PUT YOUR TEXT HERE</string>
306 </resources>
Where it says "PUT YOUR TEXT HERE" is where you enter whatever you want it to say on your lock screen.
Save file and compile Keyguard.apk
Push to System/privapp and Enjoy!!!
