I'm in TELCEL.. I flashed the correct modem file... everything when right but i still don't get LTE... I did have LTE on ICS.

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks

Remove Carrier name text from the status bar

Hi guys, I managed to edit some XML files in the SystemUI.apk file and then replaced the original APK from my phone,
on the XML files I edited the line where it shows the carrier name on the status bar.

If you are anoyed by this as I was, here's my SystemUI.apk if you want to try it out in your phone:


INSTALL ONLY IF YOU ARE ON THE ROM ON THIS THREAD

1.- Make a nandroid backup
2.- using root-explorer copy your current /system/app/SystemUI.apk and save it in your /sdcard/backupAPK folder, create folder if it does not exist.
3.- Copy the SystemUI.apk in the attachments on your sdcard root folder. Make shure the file name is "SystemUI.apk"
4.- Using root-explorer copy the SystemUI.apk from your sdcard root and paste it in /system/app
5.- Select overwrite and reboot your phone.

If something goes wrong and the system cant load the SystemUI you phone will boot up with no status bar, no wallpaper and no navigation bars,
but you can still access your root-explorer app and restore your SystemUI.apk backup, reboot and everything will go back to normal.

I'm thinking on creating a separate thread with instruction on how to decompile SystemUI.apk, edit the necessary XML file and recompile again, what do you guys think?

Thanks! glad it worked for you...
I'm using Nova Launcher it's the best it makes the phone fly, unfortunatly I can't use the Circles widget on any other non motorola launcher...
Maybe that can be fixed :)

No 4G nor LTE, I flash the telestra firmware with the Telcel modem file... does the signed part of it makes any difference..

Thanks a lot!!

This method works fine for me, EXCEPT,

I get reception but, I'm not getting any network internet, no 3G/LTE or anything. I've tried the Rogers, Telstra and Telcel modem_signed's so far and they've all had the same result. My provider is Fido so maybe I need a Fido modem_signed but I'm not sure how to get one. Does anyone have one?

    Doing this, do i have to set up everything again ( mail, contacts, etc etc) ??

    Thanks!

    No it won't erase your data, but you should flash CWM recovery only if you have a XT925 with unlocked bootloader, otherwise it will give errors and maybe a brick...

    Could you please share the fsg_signed file? I'm on the same problem you were with no 4G (on telcel)

    Excellent job. Backing up info, installing and restoring my settings and some info, i believe total install time was under 30 mins.

    After the first boot it runs perfect. I mean absolutely perfect. Battery life is great. LTE/4G works at 50mbs down/26mbs up.

    Thank you for this.

    Rogers LTE network in the Niagara Falls Canada area.

    I know in Canada for Rogers, i installed 7 Zip on my PC. I opened the Firmware by right clicking and open archive.

    I copy the modem file, and the xml file to the firmware. I also downloaded my original ICS firmware from the forums and used 7 Zip to copy the fsg signed and pasted it to the Telestra firmware in the original post. I installed RSD lite 6.0 with patches and and then installed and overwrote with 6.1.4 so the patches stayed present.

    To recap, modem signed, fsg signed, and the posted xml all copied to the Telstra firmware using 7 Zip.

    Write to phone with RSD Lite 6.1.4 and the newest Motorola drivers installed.

    Perfect results. 50+mbs down / 26+mbs up speeds on 4G. Smooth, awesome battery life.

    It works like a charm this way.

    CAUTION

    Hi all, i have done the upgrade to JB on this method and all is ok. BUT, the TELSTRAONE app that came on this firmware is a severe hungry data consumer and in a couple of days finished my modest monthly data plan, so, take care of deactivate after install the telstra JB update.
