ERI.xml editing without hex-edit :)

[raidzero]

I posted this on droidforums awhile ago but thought I would share it here for the PPCGeeks.

I have discovered that if you decompile the framework, and then edit the eri.xml any way you want you can recompile it you can get past the 16 character limitation for operator name. If you go over 16 characters, it simply scrolls in the lock screen, which is a sweet effect. however, you cannot go over 19 characters or else the pulldown will be cut off... here is what I have done:







my droid is so friendly! he even pops down from time to time to tell you he loves you

lol

yeah may be a bit girly for a guy's phone, but I think the droid is cute. haha

I have been using the apktool utility from here to decompile apks. AXMLprinter should also work for a single XML, then use xeudoxus' xU-d9pc program to compile the XML. I then just make a MM to apply it into my framework. You could also just use apktool rebuild the entire APK if you are lazy.

apktool: android-apktool - Project Hosting on Google Code
xU-d9pc: [Release] xUltimate (get it in the standalone zip section)
