If you need to ever replace your framework-res.apk file in the future, just open up this framework-res.apk file in a Zip utility like WinZip or 7-zip and take out the eri.xml file from the folder /system/xml/ and replace the same file in the same location in the new framework-res.apk file and then flash it.
 
Hey agent sorry to piggyback on this thread but what would be the easiest way to edit YOUR posted zip from sprint to a text of my choosing?
 
You need to pull the framework-res.apk from your phone (or the zip I posted). On your phone it is in /system/framework/. You will then need to decompile it (I use APK Multi Tool). After that you need to find the eri.xml (res/xml/) and edit that (I use notepad++, but many other things will work as well) and change the lines that say Virgin Mobile (or Sprint from the zip) to whatever you want it to say. You then need to recompile the apk. After that you can push it using adb, or you can just replace the framework-res.apk file in that flashable zip and use cwm.

If you use APK Multi Tool to decompile/recompile, when you recompile select yes for system file and yes for copying aditional files. In the keep folder delete eri.xml and resourses.arsc (you might not need to delete the second file, but I always have) and then press the key to continue. Make sure to change the file name to framework-res.apk.

One of the lines you edit looks like this:
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="1" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Virgin Mobile" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0" />

I am not sure you need to change, both lines with the carrier name, but I do that.

If you need more help just ask. I learned to do it from reading this post and doing some messing around on my own (since that post is fro the 2.2 framework).

p.s. APK Multi Tool is a new version of APK Manager that was mentioned in the tutorial post I linked
 
Be absolutely certain if you take someone else's framework (as opposed to pulling yours from your device and modifying it) that their ROM version is exactly identical to yours. If it's not you have a very high probability of instantly boot-looping the phone and if that happens I hope you have a Nandroid backup!

Very good point. Really, if you are doing any sort of modifications to your phone, you should have a Nandroid backup. This is also why people that have posted this sort of thing have said what version it is for.

Will the zip you gave me work on any future versions of cyanogenmod IF tickerguy makes one?

Not if there are changes in the framework-res.apk.

If tickerguy, or anyone else, continues to put out releases then I can make that change very easily. You can send me a private message if I don't put an update here.
 
Hey is there another location where the carrier is name is stored for different roms. I'm trying to do this for my girlfriend running brom and the eri.xml is really different. There is no brom text in it.

In 2.2 ROMs, like bRom, they are in /res/values/strings.xml of the framework-res.apk.

WOW.... major /facepalm!

I thought the first one linked was for a stock ROM this whole time, It seems I totally redid what was already there. I feel really dumb right now.

Aside from that, there is a post explaining how to do this here.
 
Are you using a rom? If so, which one? If not, you know that you'll want to deodex your phone before applying any mod for best results.

@agentc13, if he's just deodexed, you can use my power menu mod's apk file. Look for the thread.
