O2 logo on XDA mini S

[mrjeffery]

Is there any way to remove the tacky looking O2 logo that runs along the top of the screen next to the connection status logo? I doubt there is but i thought theres no better place to ask than here. Its only a niggle but it looks too pixelated to me in comparison with the rest of the home screen.

Hi

I had the same niggle so I asked how to remove the O2 stuff.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the mms/gprs cab files back so I set them up manually.

Nice one. What/where are the settings so that i can also setup the mms/gprs manually if i need to?

Hi

I went here

A bit tricky to follow but I got there in the end.

It's probably a bit late for this but after setting up my mini s in basic mode I deleted the following from the startup folder:

Active.lnk (because it was trying to run O2 software that wasn't fully installed)

and

connections.exe.lnk (which made the annoying O2 logo appear)

That way i kept the settings

There is still some O2 Active software installed on the PPC but I haven't played around with uninstalling it as there are other things to play with.

When you're happy with the less O2'fulness of your mini S, check the October blog posts on beyondthetech.com/ as Raphael (as well as the MMS settings cab files) has some tips for registry edits to make the Wizard more friendly.

My particular favourite is the display indicator that sits next to the SIP button and shows when the keyboard is in caps or dot mode (and if its locked in that mode or just shifted for the next key). Oh, and the complete guide to removing Speech Dialer so you can add MS Voice Commander instead..

I cheated for the settings, phoned O2 customer care (number on their website) and they e-mailed me all the settings :)
