NOTE: Do Not Apply this mod for Alpha 3, it screws up the status bar. You have been warned. I will see if i can recompile it for Alpha 3, makes it tougher without sources.
Initially i did this mod for my I9000 which was running CM7.1 and i was only seeing carrier numbers instead of names. I have ported this to CM7.1 for HP touchpad. Flash this file in cwm recovery.
When booted up you should see an additional setting in cyanogenmod settings called CustomSettings, tap that to open custom carrier text, tap that and enter whatever you want to show on the lockscreen and notification bar. Press done.
Install the attached notificationrestart.apk and open it, give it root access, press restart and wait for the notification bar to restart. This is to avoid restart of the tablet before you see the new settings apply. Voila, you should see what you put in the custom name. Have fun and hit the thanks button if you like it. Cheers.
If for some reason your status bar looks wonky after a while use this to get back to original stuff. I changed the dpi to 182 using nitrality app and the wonkiness seems to be gone. I am using iKandee theme from market.

I'll give this a shot. Is there an option (perhaps in the future) to place a .png file where the carrier text is? Similar to MIUI? Just curious.
Ok. dl'ing now. I'll report back.
EDIT: It works! My only issues
A) The notificationrestart.apk installed, but didn't seem to do anything. I didn't notice the change until after I rebooted the device.
B) I'm now seeing the 3G bar in the corner (see the image). Is there a way to keep the custom text, but not show the signal bars?

May be. I will look into it at a later time, no promises. If the status bar gets wonky, set dpi to 182 and see if it happens. For me its perfect at 182 (which is what my phone is it)

For now no. once cm team publishes source I will recompile with that.that well solve these issues. Did you run the notification restart app? I had to wipe data of that apk using titanium backup and it worked fine after that. 182 dpi works fine. Anything less than that status bar gets wonky.

I attempted, but it did not run. Did not ask for root privileges either. I simply rebooted and it showed the text change.

Ya, once you wipe data using titanium back up it will ask for root privileges. Not sure why. 182 and higher dpi works fine.

screen shots are from my phone which runs Insanity Rom and its theme.
The screenshot that I posted is in fact my TP. I'm using the Transformer theme from HERE. It ties in with CM's ThemeChanger. It'll notify you that it's not meant for your device, just do it. As you can see it works fine.

thank u sir!
@krarvind
thanks for this! no issues on my TP so far.
as a little test i flashed this to my T-MoUS HD2 Leo since i could never find a way to set a custom carrier label.
it works great on there as well - with one side effect on the lockscreen. any chance this can be fixed? i just did it on a whim since it's cm7 i figured it couldn't do to much damage. no problems on the status bar, just the lock screen.
i know it wasn't built for this device so don't answer if you don't want to
the top near my label shows a graphic from i don't know where.

I have no idea where that comes from and i don't have your device, so i can't really fix it i think. if you want to roll back, all you need to do is open up my zip files and replace the app and framework files with the ones from the rom for your phone ( not from your phone as it has mine now).
Cheers
For some reason whenever i try to boot a custom carrier label my Touchpad never boots up... it just hangs on the cyanogen mod boot animation and requires a hard reset... followed the instructions perfectly. anyone have the same issue?
after some messing around i got it to boot up for me. then the notification bar went "wonky" used the nitrality app to adjust the dpi. works fine. what is the default dpi again?....

No idea why you have these issues. dpi is 182. Anything above that works fine. Remember I don't have the sources to compile it for touchpad, so I did my best to get it

Screwed up my notification bar, the resolution is way off and battery percentage is gone. Cyanogenmod won't let me add it either?? The OriginalLabel.zip doesn't have battery percentage either for some reason. Guess I'll do a restore in Recovery. Thanks for trying though.

is there any way to remove the clock from the notification bar? if your have something like beautiful widgets running it looks almost stupid having 2 clocks there. or at least have the option in settings to keep the clock or remove the clock?
i can understand the other aspect of when your in applications people would like to see the time in the notification area. but i just wana see if i miss it or not.
i gave it a quick google, and most of the responses were fairly old and for different handsets. just wondering if it is possible?
im running SuperE 1.0.1 on a 32A, cheers!
something to try.
check your spareparts app (mine is ver. 2.1_update1) it has user UI tweak at the bottom.
Clock can be set to hidden. (may not work)
while your are there, make the clock color to match your status bar. In case the hide clock part didn't work. (try transparent as well)
yeah in cyanogen's latest rom he includes a modded spareparts app that lets you control this. maybe you can rip it out of his rom and put it into yours if your version isnt the same. maybe can you download it from the market as well, not sure if that version is up to date.
thanks buddy! had no idea i should even look in there =)
the hide clock option doesnt work for some reason, even after rebooting. but changing the transparency to nothing hides it.
only thing is now it leaves an ugly gap where the clock used to be lol. i need to try find a way to remove it completely!

I tried hiding mine as well one day (a week ago maybe?), and it didn't work. Then yesterday I noticed, out of the blue, there was no clock in the notification bar. LoL So it did remove it, eventually.
it works just fine you'll just have to reboot a couple times
rightly so! i was wrong before, it does work. like losinc said u just need to reboot a couple of times. the changing of colour of the clock works too. just took a few times to get it right =)
thanks for ur help guys!
i had problems changing colors in cm 5.0.7 so i updated to 5.0.8t1 and it worked at once
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
So just curious but with EB01/Froyo i have noticed that when the battery is fully charged you get a notification in the top left saying 100%.....when there is already one on the right amongst all the other icons. Can the Froyo one be gotten rid of. I could have sworn to go there was a post about it but i can't find it.
Unplug?

I'm not sure if this is the thread you were referring to or not, but check the development section for a thread by ChrisDDD called-Accurate battery and deBinged browser
And sorry for not having the link, but I'm on my phone.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
can't you just delete it
I wouldn't even know where to start to delete it. The accurate battery mod link u refer too only changes the one to the right the other one is there somehow. I use the desk clock so its annoying to see 100% on both the right and left. I'm nitpicking but it really doesn't make sense.
I'm convinced that there is a developer at Samsung who has that job of being annoying. This is one of his creations. One of the reasons that I will avoid Samsung in the future.
If you add a goofy pop up like that full charge one, then add a setting to disable it, or realize that you are an idiot at developing code. Maybe he/she should go back to sweeping floors.
A great piece of hardware held back by mediocre software.
I had the same problem I just flash a theme fix it!
If you are running Launcherpro or something can you still theme and how. So i tried installing a gingerbread keyboard with a EPIC FAIL. So what is the method for installing a theme. Download reboot and install via CWM?
The icon that pops up on the left when the battery gets to 100% goes away as soon a you unplug the charger. Not sure how to disable it.
I do agree is pretty stupid. They went through all the trouble of adding a specific, REDUNDANT battery icon there, but no one thought of just making the existing icon on the right show the percent. It's actually the exact reason I went about making my modified framework to add the percent - there were apps to add a battery icon with percent to the notification bar, but I just couldn't stand having two battery icons up there.

You certainly can install a theme with any launcher. Just download a theme for whatever version you're running (DL09, EB01, etc) then boot into CWR and flash it. That's it.

Come on man. A house???!? That IS strange. The "hack" is supposed to let you display whatever text you want on the upper left, and it works perfectly, but if you want to display no text and you leave a blank space, a HOUSE appears. Baha.
Strange thing. Never seen that before!

Actually if you're on brainmaster MIUI there should be no need to "hack" it. His MIUI usually comes with MIUI Settings app and you can use that to customize the carrier name or hide it completely.
My guess is it's the "carrier logo" image that comes with the theme.

Hi,
anyone know how we can get the "normal" size of the icon provided with SlimICS ?
Actually the icons are very small and dont find a solution by downloading some fonts provided by the OTA but that changed nothing :/
Regards
Change the current dpi 182 to 240 dpi.. There is setting to change dpi somewhere in `Settings`, cant tell you where exactly since I am not using it !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
i try and will keep you inform as soon as i will success thus this will help another one.
The solution is here :
after that ; reboot and then the image are now at the expected size !
On my side I've use ES Explorer and to be able to modify the file, i've mounted the system to be writable.
Regards
There is actually a much easier way built into the phone.
Go to settings, ASS, general UI then in here you should see a section which says LCD Density. Click it and you will be given a list of what to do to change it in the correct order to do it. Follow that and you should be fine.
Thanks !
I didnt see it before. Too many little precious things hidden in this rom
haha yeah it is a bit over whelming at times. I don't touch half of the settings.
For sure, it's true !
Should ask this in the SLIM ICS instead imho!
Before I flash Slim I always first edit build.prop (in system folder in essentials zip) and change lcd density value to 240. Starts up the way I like it right away.
Icons on the SGH-I337 so small I can't see!

I have the SGH-I337 and my icons are too small as well. Especially using the Noled program (which btw in the Skyrocket and Captivate earlier models, same App, but the icons were so much bigger.
ALSO the dang notifications in the bar at the top are so small I can barely see them! Is there a way to enlarge them as well??
I'm new to this, can you tell me how to change the dpi on the SGH-I337 please?
Thank you!
BlessedMom missing her notifications and has a special needs child - so this is VERY important.

I am having same issue
As the title states, I've installed Screwd and I'm going for a red theme.. I've changed the clock and nav bar buttons via the ROM options, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the battery, WiFi signal, mobile signal and other potential icons which pop up.
Quite simply I'd like to edit them, an app would be preferable, I'm aware that I can edit some files to get the desired colours although I'd like to avoid that as its a bit of a ballache if you don't do that a lot..
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I won't use xposed so that option is out.
Edit: just realised I hadn't put "Colours" I don't want to edit the image of the icons, just the colour.
Thanks again.
I'd check out layers.
However I use xposed for all theming needs. I would reconsider using it

Would layers be functional with a CM based ROM ? AFAIK screwd is CM based so not sure if this would work..will look into it cheers.
Edit: OK so as far as i can see, it is compatible but it doesn't alter the status bar icons..at least not on their own. Unless I'm not seeing something.
And no I wouldn't use xposed it murders battery life.
This is as far as I've got with it. ROM toolbox doesn't even have icons for cm13. So annoying.
Any other ideas
Anyone???
