Help Editing Eri.xml

I am currently using my sprint Sg4 on page plus and I want to know if someone will help me figure out how to make some new files for users like my self.

I want to know if anyone can help me with changing the provider text in the dropdown from Sprint to Page Plus Cellular.

I have read through quite a few toturials and to my understaning this is not even possible due to the way the eri.xml is edited.

I want to do some trouble shooting to see if I can correct the problem for everyone but I need some help.

If anyone can upload the file framework-res.apk from system/framework in default Verizon sg4 rom that would be a good starting point. and would help me a lot.

other than that I would love if someone can help me with changing the text if you have any experience.
Thanks.

Yea theres a ton of people been to edit eri.xml but no one has been successfully yet but only person that was a CM back when the phone first come out ive tryed to edit it and no success with it either it was easy on the s3 but the s4 is just about impossible atm if you need verizons framework.res.apk I would just goto verizon section and DL a stock verizon rom

the mod consist of hex editing witch I accomplish already but because the sprit framework.res.apk was not decompiled and recompiled it didn't work for me. anyways I will attach the edited eri.xml if someone can replace this one with the one in the xml folder inside the sprint framework-res.apk and recompile properly I will test it out.

I edit sprint to say PagePlusCell I didn't have room to add Page Plus Cellular. Like I wanted but when I tried to use it I didn't get any system errors it simply didn't work.
all I did was rename the apk to zip though I think if its rebult proper it may work.

anyway does anyone know if the Verizon framework-res.apk would work on the sprint rom? because I know that that Verizon eri.xml would give me more space to fully imput PagePlus Cellular by replaceing "Verizon Wireless" Which will give me a total of 16 digys to work with sprint only give me 5 but there was some spaces before and after whtch I used

@kalanir Trying to remove the sprint tag on the pulldown buddy editing the eri.xml and make it stick on every reboot cuz it resets every reboot

So you edited it and now it's not sticking? Is that what it saying?

For me, I flashed the US Cellular Rom, deleted their bloat ware, and essentially made it my carrier Mobi PCS. If you're just changing the carrier name then tell me what u want to make it to and send me the framework-res.apk and I will edit it for you or if u want me to make u a stock looking rooted custom generic rom LMK cuz I have one completely compiled and it works super legit

Yea that's what im saying we edit it and when we reboot it changes back to what it was and this is for sprint so I would have to give up the framwork-res.apk from my rom so all the mods will be there I would the pulldown and lockscreen to say Triforce Rom and jackrabbit72380 wants it to say page plus but he would need to give you his rom framwork-res.apk cuz he is on another rom then mine and it would be awesome if you could make a guide on this the community would love to have this mod buddy or teach me how to do it as well I wanna turn it into a mod to make custom pulldowns and lockscreens thanks for the help been baking my noodle on this for 3 weeks now

You can change it through the Wanam Mod for Xposed Framework which are free. I know you all are trying to figure it out without all that, but is there any way to figure out how that mod is changing it and go from there.

Yeah I can make a guide of course. And okay do u have a link to your rom? I have a theory of why it more keep reverting and then I also have an idea of how we can just change it altogether to change the whole roms carrier settings altogether but I need to know some info on your rom. @jackrabbit72380, for your page plus, are you using the stock sprint rom or custom rom?
