Nexus S i9020T, Brainmaster's MIUI final base Gingerbread. Followed the steps to hide the carrier name at the top left.
Here's what I can see now.

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,
I've been using my new HD2 for almost a week and I'm very happy with it. I've a little problem, however, that the special function of the side bar has disappeared. That is, when you press the side roll bar, it will become bigger and make you easier to control and roll the bar up/down. But this morning when i press the side bar, it doesn't enlarge itself, though i'm still able to roll it up and down. I really love to have it enlarged when pressed. Can you tell me how to make this function work again? Thanks.
noticed mine has disapeared too, i had to hard reset my phone for a different reason and it still hasnt come back. i`d really like it back too.

I think they're talking about scroll bars that get bigger when you put your thumb/finger on them.
Guys - what applications are they not working in? Do they work, for example, in file explorer?

its not present in any applications, its like it was an app itself and somehow been deleted. like i said i`v hard reset a couple of times for various reasons but been missing that scroll bar icon for a while now. to me its not the end of the world but it can be a bit fiddly at times.
You know what? This is totally strange!
Reading this post I said to myself: let's check. Stupor, the magnifying part of the scroll bar is gone, vanished!
I wonder if the guys from HTC are aware of that…
Well mine still works. Have you guys been adding any theme mods?
Maybe you folks changed the theme?
The biggie smalls scrollbars only work on the default HTC Black theme, if you select one of the WM6.5 designer themes or download your own the magic scrollbars will be turned off.

You're right! I changed back from Rock and Republic black theme to HTC Black and is working.
maybe it can be done a port of it on the other themes.

Maybe, that would be nice.
The thing that's stopped me from getting new themes for the HD2 is exactly the loss of those scrollbars.
I have read that the LOCATION active icon that showed up in DJ05 is for the 'mandated' gps location feature for 911.
Could/would a dev eliminate these 2 symbols and free up the space for actual notifications?
I have read you can make them transparent, but that wouldn't free up spots, right?
an app to do these and/or more would be cool

my understanding is themers just make them transparent, which would not make those 2 spots available to other use.
do you have that many running items in your notification bar that this is a hinderance? I don't think you can rid the icon without ridding the feature... the feature calls upon an image to show, so without an image, there'd be errors... i suppose we could just make the image like 1pixel x 1pixel? that MAY(?) work?

if you have 500 million things in your status bar i "guess" this is an issue
but frankly its a framework issue...and while yes *could* i edit them out completely? sure...but frankly 99.9% of people dont care theyre transparent

You could remove the icon without removing the feature. They did it with HTC devices. You just remove the call to display the image. You just need to figure out where it is and what the call needs to do to no display the image.

am I wrong in thinking that would provide more positions for left side notifications?

That's why I stopped really looking at it. When the icon is transparent, the only time I have noticed a gap in the notifications is when the sync icon is there. Otherwise, it's like it never existed. I can look into it again, but I make no promises on when I will get to it or if it can be fixed.
If it would NOT provide more positions to LEFT side notifications, then I would not ask anyone to bother. If it would provide more room for them... it would seem worthwhile.
so which is it? More room or doesn't change LEFT side area size?
At most, you'd get one more position for the left side notifications.
even though it apparently takes up 2 positions?
I appreciate the info btw!

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.
Original Mod for I9000 credits
doixanh ( for his ginger DX settings)
ngiordano ( for his helping hand with androiding)
Screenshots of what settings should look like.
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.

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

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?....

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.
Loving the rom and the themeing i can create with it, here comes the question, under the brightness bar on the notification panel, the checkmark for the auto brightness does not seem themeable, i have everything else blue, while it stays green. Am i missing something completely obvious or has the author just not gotten to that part yet?

Hi,
My second screen app icons periodically get really small (and kinda ugly) for no apparent reason. Then they get back to normal size also rather randomly. One way to get them back to normal is to turn off and on app icons.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't even know how to take a screenshot of the second screen to show what it looks like.
Details: LG H990ds. Sept 2017 Android 7 running. Unrooted.

This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.
This is a value setting within the theme itself.
The themer has set the theme to draw app icons on top of a series of backgrounds and they set the icon to be drawn at a percentage of the default app icon.
What I'm saying is the theme will, in this case, reduce the app icon to a smaller size then place it on top of one of the themes bg's.
Some icons have bg's as part of the actual app icon and some have only the icon (see attatched samples). Obviously icons that do not have a bg will blend into themes easier because the themes bg option will look more intended.
There are several options to fix this, but only one being easy.
1. The easy one does not get to keep the theme, you must change the theme to something that is visually acceptable to you
2. This is an option for users that have some experiance swapping images in an apk. Find the app which has an icon you don't like and use 7zip to open the apk and swap the image for one that appeals to your taste. Problem here is that thing can get overridden every time the apps gets updates. This can also trigger package errors due to signatures values and changes from original size.
3. Knowledge or modding a decompiles apk using apktool is required for this one.
Located the themes common.apk and decompile it.
Within the decompiled folders you will find a values folder, open the integer.xml and change this value to the value that fits your needs best (100 being 100% or the full original size) <integer name="config_icon_ratio_as_theme">65</integer>.
There are other ways that can do what you are wanting done, you just have to get creative with it!
You ask "how to take screenshots or second screen? You've asked this question twice now, obviously without reading the reply to the question the first time.
I persoanlly answered the question by pointing you to the link where you have options on how to add the feature you want.
This is a development community and i suggest spending a little more time reading and you'd be surprised with gow much you can find by doing a quick search.
So in summary, change you theme or learn to edit decompiled app with apktool.
Read every reply ro questions you ask so you and the people who take the time out of their days to answer you don't have to repeat themselves.

The problem is, this size keeps changing randomly. I haven't changed the theme in 2 months, but the size switches between the correct size and the tiny one every few days. The theme itself is the 'Default Black' theme that came with the phone.

I saw the comment, replied to the first part but happened to miss that part out. Thanks for that.
Attaching clearer pics to demonstrate the size difference.
Again it doesn't happen when the theme is applied. The theme has been applied from the beginning.. It's the dark one that came with the phone.. The problem comes and goes randomly.
Same here! Usually it happens when I've moved around an app icon, doesn't matter if it's moved onto the second screen or onto a homescreen.
A restart usually resets the size to normal.
u/stangdriver44 u/3mL : I have found the reason for this.
It's due to the modification of DPI I did on the main screen. It seems this setting is inherited by the second screen off and on. I just reduced my DPI further to 400 and the second screen icons got even smaller.
Others have also reported this issue. (As on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...e_the_size_of_the_navigation_buttons/dnj6dko/)
Is there a way to de-link the DPI of the second screen with that of the first?
Im trying to reduce the size of those buttons, can youpeovide the dpi and resolution that you are at?

The one in the photo was at 420. I'm currently at 400, which makes for some really tiny icons.
EDIT: please note, that this resizing isn't constant, it gets turned on and off like a boolean such that sometimes it stays small, then returns to normal for a while.
