Remove Ugly Cingular Logo from Phone Dialer

I've been searching the forums for this, and can only find info on T-Mobile, and changing the skin to the WM5...
when making a call or using the dialer, or in a call, that ugly off-color CINGULAR logo is in the upper left. Any way to remove this, or at least change it?
thanks

create a replacement dialer logo .gif that is
size: 105px x 23px
name: "Carrierlogo"
place in location: /windows folder and replace existing .gif file named "Carrierlogo"
after replacing: soft reset
you may want to save a copy of the oem "Carrierlogo" file... or not
i created a blank/transparent .gif because i don't need it to say anything but any image will appear so have fun

Dude..I can't copy it..because the image is in use...

I have attached the file I use. (I take NO credit for making the file, as I found it elsewhere).
Use the instructions above and copy it over the existing one in the \windows folder ... then soft reset.
larsjeparsje - make sure you don't have the phone dial pad window open.

Does this go for the "T-Mobile" logo as well?

Just delete the file and it will display the text of the carrier you are on.
The K-Jam doesn't have that file...

1) no adverse affect. phone works fine with no image at all.
2) i do not see the carrier displayed as you state.

The problem is, I can't delete the Carrierlogo.gif...

i read in another post that it may related to rom version... search is your friend... sorry

I don't see the fuss about the rotate icon. You could write your own in 5 minutes or less.

Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.

I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...

It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!

'new' Opera Icon very ugly

Since the new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504094) the Opera Browser Icon is very ugly.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to change it? I prefer the transparent one...

Here a bigger picture, to proof that the new opera icon is quite ugly...
Anyone any idea how to replace it?

Ain't it though?
Step 1:
Create a .REG file with the contents below and import the .REG file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
Step 2:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:
Code:
39#"\Windows\OperaL.exe"?:Opera9ICO
Power off/on your device ... should do the trick.
HTH,

hilaireg,
thanks, though i have to ask again a bit. sorry!
step 1,
so i copy paste the whole content
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
into a .txt-file, rename it to .reg and import and run it?
step 2,
because in the reg-file OperaL.exe is mentioned, I looked it up.
Seems as if the OperaL.exe has the same 'stupid' icon.
And how or where do I
Code:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:

Hi DaM79,
Step 1:
That is correct, create a .REG file with the complete contents of the "Code" window in the post. You'll need to use a utility to import the .REG file - ex: PHM Registry Editor, FdcSoft (dotFred) Task Manager, etc.
Step 2:
It does, the .REG file and the adjustment to the .LNK file instruct the system to use a different icon that is embedded inside the OPERAL.EXE file. An .EXE/.DLL file can typically contain many icon resources ... which is the case with OPERAL.EXE. You can use a utility to view icon resouces - ex: ResView.
The Opera Browser shortcut (.LNK) is usually found in .\Windows\Start Menu\... - you can use File Explorer to navigate to the folder location on your device - you may need to enable Show All Files in File Explorer.
HTH,

I tried to change it, but on my side I can't change the icon settings.
So I can't get the icon change to work one bit.
Do I need software to do it?
I also tried to import the registry file with PHM editor, but it grey's the option for it.

Everything you need is attached to my previous response.
Cheers,

Thank you for pointing that out to me.
I don't know why I haven't checked that post and tried the software you mentioned.
It works like a charm now. Thank you!

Today 06:18 AM
Arunia I tried to change it, but on my side I can't change the icon settings.

Comparing Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlZC_ZPIXA
so now i need your help to change the original programs folder path to this EXE
YOU NEED TO TRY IT
installing: unzip it and copy it anywhere in your diamond and make shortcut to startmenu

Very smooth indeed. Nice one mate.
Got a question though. How do you create a shortcut in the start menu to a program like this that hasn't been installed?

look at this - Link Creator 1.3 ... it should do the job... (if u are using english rom)

Wonderful
Is there the settings.exe?

I think this is the same as something that should already be on your phone. Check in \Windows for a file called folderview.exe (it's on my Fuze and I presume it's in Diamond's as well). I've seen this in the past since the tweak to get 4 columns in the programs directory will not work for this file. What I've done n the past is set this as a soft key to make it quicker to get to.

Renaming this file to folderview.exe and cooking it in the ROM overwriting the existing file wont help?
