Can't change "Verizon Wireless" from notification tray...

[billygalbreath]

The typical eri.xml hack on my moto droid works like a charm, however upon examining the eri.xml on my wife's rooted 2.1 eris I have come to discover this is indeed not where "Verizon Wireless" is saved.. bummer.. Anyone find where its located yet? I'll keep searching..

This hack doesn't even work on my Droid. I get a brick when I try.

It does for me:

ok - tried the hack anyways... i copied everything from my eri.xml between 6.4 and 6.5 and nothing... didnt brick. didnt break anything. and most importantly, it didnt change "Verizon Wireless"

hmm - i'll keep trying.

For the droid...try this:

Pulldown Editor 1.1 for Motorola Droid

it also changes it on the slide-lock screen you see when you hit the power button to wake up the phone.

edit: I didn't notice the forum section the original post was in. I do not know if this will work on other android phones or not.

ok after playing around some more i ended up bricking the damn phone...

but was all good. running the 2.1 root update in hboot (again) saved my life!!

i then continued to play and tried editing the eri.xml file quite a number of different ways.. all yielding with the phone not receiving any serve and the phone app kept force closing..

eventually i gave up on this file and started to look elsewhere. I found a file (/data/local/dmdata/00004) which looked promising, but after editing it quite a number of different ways, nothing happened. so I put it back to normal.

I'm calling it a night, but will again start searching tomorrow for where this stupid string is located. i know its not pulling it out of thin air... for now.. i sleep. 'night!

Prior to the pulldown editor being available you had to use a hex editor and go after a certain file. You can backtrack through the thread I listed above or ask the person who created the editor. I also do not know if your phone's files will be layed out the same as the Droid's but I imagine they are pretty close. I'm assuming you don't own a motorola droid due to the forum section we are in, yet your listed phone seems to indicate you are using a moto droid.

I do have a moto droid. And I have done the hex edit putting my name in place of the verizon wireless text on my phone. I'm in the eris forum because I am looking dor the method of doing this to the eris. My wife's eris to be exact.

I can't get the PullDown editor to work for me - it generates the files and everything looks OK. I apply the theme, it restarts, and nothing changes. Anyone else getting this issue?

The pulldown editor will only work on the moto droid. Not the eris.
