Default Changing the Sprint banner?

Is there anyway to modify the "Sprint" on the lockscreen or in the notification area? I know the Droid can change theirs by editing eri.xml in a hex editor but I don't see any option for it.

Ideas?

Then don't bother posting about it. The point of this forum is to share ideas, not act holier than thou. I mean Wow you are so cool, you know something we normal people don't. So why don't you take your bad attitude somewhere else.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Edit: The strings.xml referenced in the tutorial must be different because all mine has is days of the week and months of the year.
