Is there any way to make an app that will change the name on the phone from Verizon Wireless to something else?Steven gazes intently at Scary, then runs.
Steven, LOL...saw your thread and first post late this afternoon...
Never modified my framework-res.apk before--that is, until tonight .
Pretty cool, actually...
Anyway, I assume that this is what you meant:
It was relatively straight-forward to do, but it did involve several manual steps (that I think you are pretty-much not interested in).
Not sure about making "an app for that" , since there are several, very diverse steps (unpacking the .apk, hex-editing the eri.xml, updating the .apk, backing-up the current .apk, remounting /system for read/write access, updating/replacing the .apk)...all doable, but from what I've read here and the little research I've done, there's already a few apps that do this. But I'll think about it, LOL .
Lemme know if you want me to build your own "Steven"-flavored .apk for you to manually push and replace (I believe (although I'm certain bouchigo can correct me and/or verify this) that you are limited to the same number of characters as the string "Verizon Wireless", like " Steven's Phone " unless you recompile the framework-res).
This was kind of fun... Cheers!
