Removing the 02 logo from notifications

[strongp]

On my xda2 the 02 logo was on the title bar where it interfered with application names and was generally a mess.

On my xda2s 02 have in their wisdom included their logo as a notification - but this means that if any other notification arrives you get the speech bubble icon which is less than informative.

Does anybody know how to remove this O2 notification (by notification I mean the logos warning of low power, new texts, missed calls etc.)

thanks,

Peter

Yes and no.

You can remove it, but this method will also loose their "today" screen (and instead ONLY have the standard one, which to me was fine, but might not be to you).

You need to do a hard reset (hold down power button and push reset button). It'll start up and start installing all the applications. Just wait, but be ready to do a soft reset.

After installing Album, MMS and the other programs, the final step is O2 customisation. It pops up with "Home / Corporate" choices. Not quite sure what the differences are, but when that pops up, just push soft reset button and voila... no O2 notification logo :-) (or customised today screen)

I'm sure there's a way of changing the Extended ROM around, but this way to get it back you just have to do another hard reset.

Hope that helps!

thanks for the tip - a bit of a sledgehammer tho - I'd rather identify the app/process and find a way of killing that...

have you been in the kitchen on wiki? Might find what you are looking for as to what app does what and how to cook you Ext Rom for good. Sorry you will have to do a Hard reset at some time.

as always - full backup although very safe strait forward procedure go into C:\windows\startup and delete conections (you could move it as I have to a foulder called startupbak - I have done this as it will always be below my startup folder for easy location in future and because I was not absolutley sure at the time on any other effects this might have) - it seems to have none! - will advise If I find any frightners - try moving it though - cant hurt

can still get broadband access from my neighbours wifi access point - he has no idea about the security holes - GPRS and MMS all working fine - seems to have no effect - it is only a *.lnk anyways........
