I don't really know if it is normal behaviour but the carrier name is eating the whole notification status bar. When I receive emails or texts, there is no room to display the gmail or text icon. How can I fix this? Perhaps the carrier name all together?
Thanks

As seen above, carrier name displayed is "Vodafone United Kingdom" Ridiculously long..
 
it must be something with miuiandroid rom... when i installed JBL11 with miflash my carrier read "MTN" (which is the correct one) and after i installed miuiandroid rom 3.2.1 it reads "Simobil" ... before when i was using miuiandroid 3.1.1 it was "Areeba"
 
If I remember right I ran into the same issue - you can try to use a file explorer app, browse to /system/app, remount /system read-writable, look for the control panel APK (don't remember the exact name) and change it's permissions to match all other apps in /system/app (= rw-r-r). That worked for me last time I tried.
EDIT: Reboot neccessary after changing the permissions, forgot that one.

Worked perfect Mialwe! Thank you for you help, no carrier name anymore which is fabulous.

the permission of control panel apk is not set correctly with the updater-script. i'll fix it this friday, sorry for that.

I have the same problem with my carrier in Greece. I am using JBL11 and the carrier name as displayed is "COSMOTE-Mobile Telecommunications S.A." instead of Cosmote

GR. Can i change it somehow or i have to flash 3.2.8?
 
I believe it doesn't work in v5 as I asked in the mod forum and they said to wait.
I only get "Vodafone UK"but it's enough to prevent all but one symbol notification appearing.
I agree it's somewhat (very) annoying!

I really don't need to see my carrier name at all let alone at the expense of notifications.

Thanks, but I'm a bit scared to install apk with random names.
Did it few years back and it didn't play nice with my old legend phone.

Where is it from please?

:cool:
