Removing 8525's Cingular logo from dialer..

[outsidah]

Hey guys,

I've searched the forum and wiki (and another forum) and perhaps I'm missing something... but I dont see a way to get rid of the "Cingular" logo at the top left hand corner of the 8525's phone screen. I've tried all types of skins and Fit4cat, and the skins WORK, but the stupid logo won't go away.

Is my only option to remove the Cingular ROM?

Try E-Ten yet?

E-Ten dialer doesn't say Cingular or ATT as the new ROM original dialer says.

You can get variants on the E-Ten skins here (http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm).

Having your Operators Logo on your Phone is worth it if you save 100's of dollars on your phone. Cingular subsidises the cost.

If you dont like the logo, buy a non branded HTC Tytn or Imate JasJam (AU$1200 here in Australia)

He was just talking about the logo in the dialer app. I really don't think Cingular is going to charge you extra if you use a different dialer (though i'm sure they do want ther name everywhere they can put it in and on the device). Besides...if you've got Cingular then you're wasting your money on the variants with a useless front camera (for Cingy at least) and no PTT button (don't care about PTT, it's just nice to have that extra button to map to stuff).

Delete the carrierlogo.gif file in the \Windows directory... Note that if you are using the new Cingular ROM, it is hidden (at least on mine), so you need to enable display of hidden files.

Thanks for all the replies regarding how to get rid of the logo, learning a little something extra a day is always handy!

I didnt get a discount from Cingular on this phone - I bought at market value and unlocked it to use on T-Mobile. I don't know what benefit having that Cingular logo would have done them anyway if I was on Cingular anyhow. I understand the subsized cost, but that doesnt mean I need to see the logo everywhere.
