I had it happen a few times but not all. Not sure why but a quick login again is much better than having the Verizon crap.

Oh yeah for sure:) For those of us with 2 step authentication though... it's an extra step, but one I'm willing to take! Thanks again.

Never got the red ! Before. Not sure how to get around it. You should be able to flash a backup if you can get it. Even if you wipe I'm not sure if it deletes that part if the phones memory since its like a SD card. I would hope it leaves that section alone. Let me know what happens

Re: [MOD] Removed VerizonWireless From Lock and Drop Down

It's been some time since I made some mods but I wanted to share this. It is for stock framework. It will remove VerizonWireless from your lock screen and your drop down. Install is simple. Download the file and and place on your phone. Using root explorer find the framework file and copy it. Then go into system/framework and paste. Before you paste make sure you are in R/W mode. Once you hit paste it will just reboot. Give it a moment and it will boot back up and it will look like in the photos.

How did you get the power center/controls in your notification bar? Totally doing the stock one with that in mine tomorrow.

Re: [MOD] Removed VerizonWireless From Lock and Drop Down

I just copy/pasted the google one on stock rooted/unlocked 4.0.2 and now get stuck on constant boot animation.....

Reflashed recovery and restored to a backup I made before messing with this, phone is up and running but back to Verizon. Any suggestions?

How long did the animation go for? I had it boot for a minute or two. The stock animation is sometimes hard to tell if boot looping. Once you copy and paste if it didn't reboot just start hitting the back button. Should then freeze and reboot. Also check the permissions so they are set to read and write. Since you have the backup try it again. As always good thing you made one. Hopefully it will work for you. I just flashed a new rom so I'm back to the Verizon wireless :( need to do some work tomorrow and fix that .

I let the animation go for almost 5 minutes. It immediateley rebooted after pasting and I checked permissions to make sure they were checked exactly as described in the picture previous.

Re: [MOD] Removed VerizonWireless From Lock and Drop Down

Could you please tell me where in the APK that the 'verizon wireless' strings are located. I have found the lockscreen 'roaming indicator' and was able to replace it, but where is the other one for the pull-down screen.

I'm trying to remove 'Verizon Wireless' from Axiom V2.2 by decompiling the framework apk. If you know of an easier way, please lemme know.

System/framework/framework-res.apk/Res/xml. You will want to pull the Eri.XML file. Using a xml editor (forgot what one I use) you will see the code on the left and the text break down on the right. Find the Verizon wireless line and overwrite it or space over all the text to erase it. Then drop the file back into the folder with 7zip and save it. Push the framework-res.apk file back to the phone or copy paste over the stock.

If having a issue with this sticking make sure the permissions are set like this. Then reboot.

Are you sure the permissions aren't supposed to be rw-r-r-- ?

I looked at mine, and those are the permissions of mine before I flash. It might help everyone who has had problems?
