Is it possible to change carrier name on notification bar - EVO 4G General

Is it possible to change carrier name on notification bar... I want to change sprint name to something else like my name. Is this possible?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

yes, using QPST, under "Display"
It also changes the carrier name on the lock screen (for Sense ROMS).
Be warned, I've heard some people have problems with Sprint apps after doing this (I'm on Cricket, so can't test it myself)

I finally Googled it, cdma workshop. Cool stuff. Had my noob moment for the day.

You can also use root explorer and go to the eri.xml file and use a text editor to change it to what you want. And posted in the themes thread a member posted an app he made that will do this also.

this is the laziest way. but very effective. asop only

[Q] How to disable Hands Free Activation?

Hands free activation is timing out and not working. I programmed my # and msid manually, so there's no need for this **** to keep popping up and running in the background.. is there something specific I need to do to kill this?
Well, ****, it worked when I turned on Wi-Fi!
let the activation go through it should ask you to reboot or just stop
you can always root and remove it...idk what apk it uses
what about flashing your phone with stock?
I am having this problem too. Sorry if this is thread resurrection.
It would seem that unlike the Hero, it is not omadm.apk (not present).

People on XDA make absolutely no god damn sense. If a user ressurects an old thread you give him **** for it. If he posts a new thread you give him **** for posting a thread that already exists. Aka people on XDA seem to find ways to act like dicks no matter what people do.

To "disable" hands-free activation (handy for those on alternate carriers) UNINSTALL systemupdates.apk
Yes, you need to be rooted. Yes you need a root uninstall app to remove it. Yes, you can use a rooted file manager and manually remove it.

Find root uninstaller in the android market, look under the system apps, it'll be in red. It'll look like a green circular icon with a white check in the middle.
Also, I believe it's in system/app

No prob, and yeah, I had another thread stating that newer builds had it renamed. Even the original epic has the apk renamed from leaked FB15 and onwards to devicemanagement.apk as you said.

[Q] Is there a way to change the Sprint network label?

The one that shows up in the status panel, which is replaced by roaming etc when not on the default network. I ask this because I'm not on Sprint (imported) so it kind of bothers me that it shows that. I know there's ways to change it on HTCs and the Droids, but I'm at a loss on what to do on Galaxy S.

Sprint. I loaded a custom PRL that identifies my network as its home, so basically I'm looking for a way to change the home network identifier from "Sprint" to whatever. In the examples I mentioned, people changed it to their name in an understandable display of narcissism.

It is something they added that is basically like a theme changer.
who said anythign about sprint ID in EC05?
It's not really a theme changer what T-Mobile made for 2.3 is a theme changer, it basically is a application pack that gives you certain apps/advertisements varying on what pack you download. It's a crappy idea because all it does is change your wallpaper and give you random applications. Doesn't benefit the user.

Not quiet true. Basically it allows you to choose what Sprint apps you want on your phone and other customizations. It adds widgets ect. It's one single apk and will be easily removable...... Now if Sprint really wanted to make life easier they would make Samsung scrap TW
Sprint said they were including Sprint ID on all their phones when they first announced it. In a Q&A they said it was coming to the Epic. I was surprised it wasn't in EB13.

[Q]About Open Garden wifi tethering

I tried using the open garden wifi tethering app (rooted off course) but when i was using it, i got a notification saying hotspot was activated. So i clicked on it and it took me to sprint hotspot app saying "hotspot activated". This is the first time something like this happened (used Open Garden before) and got scared because i know i have to pay 49.99 or something like that to use the app, and stopped tethering. Should i be scare about this? Despite the fact that the app said i was using hotspot, i wasn't using their hotspot app and the thing to activated it on the app was unchecked.
I want to know because i am under my fathers plan and he said if i ever added an extra payment on the bill he'll take me off his plan.
Also sorry for posting a question on this board, people usually go in the general forums a lot more and reply to topics faster.

How does this even begin to address the OP's concern? You responded to a keyword that you recognized in the post, instead of comprehending the meaning of all of his words in the order in which they were presented.
He is worried that he will be charged for using the paid hotspot, and rooting his phone won't change it if he was being billed.
However, it sounds like that app has been updated, borrowing from the free wifi tethering app (open garden wifi is based off of the open source wifi tether, hosted on Google projects).
It is activating software that is already present in the stock firmware, but it cannot call Sprint and ask them to add an option to your plan. The paid hotspot (unhacked) will not work without that option on your plan, so if it is working then you either added the option, or you aren't being charged because it was activated via a hack.

Since it seems that open garden is always just a little behind the open source project on which it is based, I think it is a safe bet that the "developers" behind open garden haven't added anything other than gps tracking of its users. I say, just stick to wifi tether, since it is the original (and I don't trust an app that only adds location tracking when the purpose of the app has nothing to do with location)

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
