[HOW TO] Change 4G to 4G LTE in Status Bar [HOW TO]

[norml]

Found a simple way to change ur "4G" icon to show "4G LTE" instead. All you have to do is edit ur build.prop file which is located in ur system folder. I believe that these icons are already included in the majority of I9505 roms(non AOSP, non GE) that are out there, so you don't have to add these icons to ur device, or do anything else. Just follow the directions in the 3 outlined steps.

1. Please be sure to make a backup of ur original build.prop file, just in case any complications occur, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

2. In ur build.prop file, just edit the ro.product.name line to...

ro.product.name=jfltetmo
for

ro.product.name=jfltevzw
for

ro.product.name=jflteatt
for

3. Ur device must be rebooted for the changes to go into effect.

That's it!!

What file mgr are you using to get to the file? Root Explorer? ES File Mgr? Those file mgr's change ur permissions for you, etc., maybe that's the problem?

I used Build Prop Editor from Google Play.

Have you successfully changed ur build.prop file with Build Prop Editor before, without having it revert? I never used it, try Root Explorer, that's what I use.

I also have Root Explorer but I don't know how to do it from here. Can you teach me how?

Just go to "system" folder located in root(root is like the equivalent to "c:\" in Windows OS), scroll down a little bit to build.prop file, long press it, open with text editor, edit ro.product.name line like in the OP, exit it, it will ask you if you want to save it, etc., this is all basic stuff man.

Got it to work now. Tried doing it differently in Build Prop Editor and it worked. Thanks!
