Tweak: Customise your operator name

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Not sure if this has been posted before, but i've been messing around with PHM Regedit on my e200 (as you do), and discovered that you can customise your operator name (as displayed on the homescreen etc).

If you point your Registry Editor at:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/RIL/OperatorNames

you should see that it's empty.

If you create a string entry with the name being your operators network number (e.g. Orange are 23433), the operator name for that operator will then appear as whatever you enter in this string value.

Cool! :)

A reboot is required for the change to take effect.

You can find your network code online at a number of sites, like here.

Ha Ha - Great tweak

Tried it (with a bad word :wink:) and it works great.

Now to think of something worthy for my network name :)

[Guest kjk]

COOL it's work :)

Sweet. Found anymore? Im still after the illusive low battery value (no not the one in sounds). The one that plays "LB.wav" when the batt goes critical. Anyone?

[Guest Coucou]

Bad Word!

Just cocked up my phone with this tweak. Before i do a hard reset I'd just like to warn people not to use spaces or other characters. :)

i like this tweak!:)

i set mine with my daughters name... :D

[Guest Coucou]

Well maybe it crashed for some other reason then, but it was bad! Hard reset bad. I've got a good half hour to spend getting the little sod back how i like it. :)

it's at times like this that i wish activesync was as good as Palm's Hotsync. On a Palm i'd be able to restore the whole device to its state at the last sync.

:) :D :D

Ha! This is the best thing I've done on my phone for ages!! I love it!

[Guest midnight]

just a little tip, you dont have to reboot, just turn aeroplane mode on and then off again and it will refresh the operator name.

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

I'm now running with...

"MonkeyComm"

[Guest Will]

any mpx users managed to do this?

This tweak has been on www.smartphonefrance.info for ages:

http://www.smartphonefrance.info/operator.asp

So not really new to me...

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

nope to working on the MPX :D at the moment that is :)

[Guest scott2eyes]

Has anyone figured out if there's a way to rename "Aeroplane" mode to something more appropriate for someone who will probably never need to have their phone switched on while in an aeroplane?

(I only ask here because it comes up in the same Carrier section in the Homescreen plugin.)

[Guest Disco Stu]

Can you not just rename it in Settings, Profiles - edit ?
