Root How to change 4G icon

I changed my 4g, 3g, and 1x icons to the Verizon versions with ninjamorph. I changed the ugly aGPS icon, too.

When you click on an icon to replace it with where do you go top choose the icon you want?

Don't remove the string it comes out like this ro.build.target_operator:MPCS, you want it to read as this ro.build.target_operator:ATT. Verizon works but you have to find the correct input value, just using VERIZON or TMOBILE won't work.

I think that's why mine bootlooped. From ninjamorph, I think you could put VZW for Verizon. I haven't tested it, but ninjamorph is so much better.
 
I love how easy it was. And 4glte looks so legit. Thanks and kudos ninjas in a bag. Do you have other build.prop hacks or mods?

It extracts the contents of the original APK contents to a folder on your SD card called AndroidThemes I believe. Once you open the APK you want to mod and select the icon to change, it asks you to navigate to the new file you want to use. Since we're switching it to an icon in the original APK, open the folder it extracted the files to and select the icon you want.

Or, you can create/download a different icon altogether and point Ninjamorph to that instead.

I'm discovering new mods as fast as the firmware is willing to reflash, currently I'm searching for the Verizon value to see what happens. Using VZN on my connect lead to a change in the status bar layout, but nothing groundbreaking.
 
According to plasticarmyman (I think it was him who said it) this phone is unbrickable because E-mode appears to be unable be erased. Besides, we have a locked bootloader so technically you never really do brick it. So I say, backup your apps and data with Titanium and try it :D Something goes wrong, just use the Almighty Sammyz unbrick guide! :D

not me who said it...but i'll take credit :P
 
Its its my last posts edit. :D
(Edit #2) upon rebooting after changing the build.prop, you'll notice that metropcs is now on the left side of your status bar. It seems that change of build prop was meant for tablet restricted to carriers, but that's just what I think. Try it on a different phone and let me know, remember to back up your build prop in case of some unforeseen issues. ;)

I also Noticed after changing the build.prop to ATT that i seen the metro pcs in the upper left hand corner but the big issue i found is that it breaks usb tether. After changing it back to MTPC usb tether works again
 
Okay I have about 8gbs of free space in my sd card and ninja morph won't let me in it says "you need at least 20 mb of space in ur sd card" wtf
