Owner's Name on Home Screen???

[weldguy]

"This phone belongs to: " appears on my Home Screen. I can't figure out how to add my name there!

Thanks.

5. Touch Lost Message
6. Touch Text before to change "This phone belongs to"
   Touch Contact Information to select a contact. (This is the name and number that will display)
   Touch Text after to change "protected by antivirus"

The only way to remove this from the screen is to uninstall the application.

If you're rooted and have CyanogemMod 6 RC2, you can put a custom message on the lockscreen. If/when I reflash Cyano, I'll try to post a sscreenie if someone doesn'tbeat me to it

Simple answer:
step 1, uninstall any/all antivirus apps you have installed.
Step 2, done.

This is not true. If you open the antivirus program and select remote management and de-select the 'Lost Message' box, the message will be removed from your screen. This is something I have found in another forum, that you can't remove it. So, while I was in the program, I had de-selected the message option. The message was then removed from your home screen.

Could not get it to work, went into AVG but could not access the right place.
