How can I fix my provider name? Details inside. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's a minor issue but it's been pissing me off to no end. Is there a file I can edit or a setting I can change to make it just say "MTS" like it should?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

This is only a guess, but try changing the build.prop line "ro.carrier=unknown" to "ro.carrier=MTS"

download a ROM with custom name carrier and rename it.

Can I change it without having to flash a rom? Like in a text/xml file somewhere? Changing eri.xml did nothing.

I'd be interested in this as well. Having "Home" is annoying. I don't feel like flashing my entire ROM either.

It's kind of silly that there isn't a "fix" for this yet I too would like to have something besides HOME.

err quit bumping?
you cant without flashing with a rom that allows manual changing, or editing the .prop as the 2nd poster said. It's baked in.
so yeah... usless to keep putting this to the top! you had your answer 5 minutes after posting !

What he said. Op is just too arrogant to flash a custom Rom to fix it. Stop bumping the thread.
It's just a word on notification, who cares. Your phone works. It can say abc123 as my carrier. I can really care less, if everything else is great then... Great. Just aesthetics has no effect on the actual phone

It's arrogance spamming for a "bump" to the top of the list when he had the answer 4 minutes after he posted the original topic. flash a custom rom or edit the prop file. there is no other solution. nobody can pull magic pixie dust out of where it cannot be found. demanding that everyone looks anways is exactly that: the definition of arrogance.

Lol, by modding I was talking about system files!

Here is another thread on the same topic. You have to know how to modify the files yourself to get to it to work and if your not willing to learn how to do your own mods (decompiling and compiling files) than your SOL unless you flash a custom ROM.

I really like this recovery, however I actually like the confirmation screen. At least make us go only 2 or 3 levels down instead of 7. I went to flash a ROM and wasn't paying close attention and ended up flashing the wrong one.

I don't know, and when you question them, they get seriously bent out of shape. I don't know if anyone has ever done tech work on a phone or on a a forum, in order to get an accurate fix/answer the tech must ask what you have done to get where they were, and so on, also accurate information would aide in a quick fix. It is important.

If you have multiple SIMs, select the provider you use most:

LG Official 4.4 build info?

http://www.zpsjbbs.com/thread-6172-1-1.html
Looks like LG is busy building 4.4 out.
I am searching for a beta that I can download and convert for ROM for us to use...
Thanks to Chippah for Droid-Life news post for pointing out article.
If anyone can read Chinese or figure out how to download the KDZ please let me know
We've known about this for a while now. The site is a pay site. The Rom is Korean. I'm not sure if it was helpful or not. I remember reading somewhere that it wasn't helpful for porting to other devices. Especially since this is a few weeks old and I haven't heard any more movement on it or any breakthroughs in KitKat porting.

I am sure it can be ported since release Korean ROMs were ported to to other G2 models without any major issues.

Sharing is caring...Isn't that the whole point of XDA...
If he was so worried about losing his job than maybe he should have not sent it out
If you want to keep it to yourself for whatever reasons that is fine.
I was just looking for a few files too see if the compass issue on the 4.4 builds could be fixed...
Can you at least post the lib, etc and vendor folders?

Pretty sure that'd not what the person who gave it to us looses his job because we sent it out thinks. If someone trusts us why break that? And no XDA does have a limit about sharing cause I'm using a ROM I haven't even shared.

We are indeed working on a stock 4.4 build. We are running into issues getting it to boot. We've enlisted a few other devs to lend us a hand.
So why not post it up so more devs can try to fix it up? If you guys are going to post it anyway why not have others try too?

People tend to forget there are a lot more people with knowledge about developing and fixing roms. But most of them have a job and can't update a rom like Starlighter. There is simply no time for that. But they can help out fixing a KDZ base (Korean/verizon).
When it's available for everyone with knowledge it will be booting a lot faster.
