Carrier Name in Today Screen

[mikej4]

Has anyone found a way to get the carrier name in the today screen?

There is a registry hack somewhere which shows the state of the radio and the carrier name, do a search.

I found how to do it...anyone interested here are the instructions...

Customize operator's name

To show specified operator name set

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)

And then at

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names

add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:

"25099"="BEE LINE"

For country and network code, go to wikipidea for mobile country code and network code
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)

For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.


Change the "Message Sent" and other general notification bleep

This will change the sound of other pop-up messages as well as SMS sent bleep. The default sound is the `msgbox.wav` in the \Windows directory. To change it, go to

HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default

And change to the names of other wav files in your \Windows directory without the `.wav` extension.

AKU2 ROMs tweaks

These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs

Show Wireless Today item

By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I did the change and it worked. I could see the carrier name on my today screen. But after I soft-reset PPC, I see the carrier number 'xxxxx' instead of the name.

Am I missing something?

Please help.

Edit- This is strange, but the tweak seems to be working for now, even after a couple of soft-resets. Will test further and keep posted. Thanks
