No Annoying Network Name Anymore :)

Posted by Timalah
Hey All, I've read through a fair few posts on here and a lot seemed to be asking if there is a way to remove the network name at the top of the screen, the answer to which is no. However I have created a theme which effectively hides it - a technique which was alluded to in one or two posts I read.

I just thought i'd post it here and if the idea inspires ppl, great, if not then you can still enjoy looking at the pretty theme (provided the pic i took 6 trys to upload works!) =)

Ok first thing i wish to make 100% clear is that I am by no means taking total credit for this theme - it was originally made by a guy called rush2611 and i downloaded this theme from a site (which I am not allowed to post apparently =) ).

I simply photoshoped the images a bit, added a little bit of customisation, changed some colours etc. Hopefully below will be an image of the theme. Let me know what you think...

Give us the dl address :-)

Hey there... can't seem to post any web addresses in posts.. besides that, if you're after the version above, i've only got it on my comp - the one i dl'd is quite different and doesnt hide the network logo etc.

Send me an email if you want it and i'll reply with it as an attachment =).

If anyone else wants it, feel free to email but i'm going to bed seeing as its 4am now so will do it in the morning.

NB. I also have a version without 'Timalah' on the top and the original version too if anyone wants...

you can post a hyperlink. go to this page for instructions.

just don't link to the site if it contains anything illegal.

Cheers man - can you tell i'm new here

Well I originally downloaded this theme from a site.net/preview.php?id=7938 - I almost posted my version under the Themes area of Esato but didn't as it mostly isn't my work and wouldnt want to claim credit in their name.

Ok now 5am.... really.. i'm going to bed this time...

Edit: This is rediculous... everytime i try to post a link it replaces the name of the website with 'a site' even after doing the bbcode stuff and as I can't seem to read about why... simply replace 'a site' with 'm y t 6 1 0' but without the spaces obviously. This website is apparently taboo?...

yes it is - it used to contain free mophun games and a few other illegalities, which have since been removed but the auto-filter here still has it in place. and technically, it is also a competitor with esato.

there are a few other sites which also fall into that category, mainly due to illegal content.

Posted by Ayush
Is the theme also for 310 etc?

Posted by Lynx69
Just out of interest did i say to change the colours to hide it because someone asked that and i said that. im not trying to take the credit im just wondering.

Posted by Timalah
haha to be honest i'm not sure... i thgt of it and than checked around to see if anyone had done it... i found a few people that had suggested it or close but after the suggestion was made, it didn't seem like anyone really "did" it.

Does anyone know exactly how close you can get the name and outline colours to be?

I have yet to upload this to my phone but hopefully will do in a couple days time - the theme creator seemed to think it was valid and i uploaded it to esato and it passed its verification (but then I canceled the post for the reason i posted before).

There must be a threshold at which the phone deduces the outline and name of operator are too similar so if anyone knows this point, rather than laborious trial and error, please let me know.

That is incorrect.

It's soley at the discretion of the administrator to ban sites and there is no such thing as a standard reason but illegal content most definitely is not the case all that often

however it seems convenient enough to let that misconception previal

Posted by gelfen
why the rolling eyes?

regardless, the answer i gave was based on my experience having read where occassionally reasons were given, or where other members surmised the reasons based on their own experience of the site in question (and also the alacrity with which illegal content links and ads are dealt with). i suspect that links to sites with inappropriate rather than strictly illegal content would also be blocked.

and no, i have not personally attempted to post links to banned sites.

Posted by Vlammetje
the rolling eyes because there has been plentiful discussion on the reason of banning sites and the reason you named was not given by the administrator as the main reason for banning...... hence I must assume you repeat rumours and much like I said...... it gives 'banned sites' a bad reputation that need not always be correct... sort of an unfair disadvantage. Another rolling eyes for that one.

Posted by gelfen
"...there has been plentiful discussion..."

can you please point me in the direction of said discussion (since i have apparently not seen it)

"...hence I must assume you repeat rumours..."

not true - only surmises and theories.
**you know what they say about "assume"**

When using Theme Creator Pro, It is easy to hide the provider name. Just match up the colors, and its not that hard. In a couple of weeks, when i get the internet back up at home, I will be posing a couple of themes, and a few of those are where the provider name is gone. If someone wants me to make them a particular theme, let me know what, and all the info, and ill see what i can do. Or i could just teach you.

Posted by lamebot
So what do you do exactly? Which colors do you match?

Posted by Jim
Are you sure that it works on the phone ?! I emailed the author of this thread one month ago but still no reply ... so I guess it doesn'twork ...

Posted by Timalah
Hey,
Sorry, have been very busy of late - exams n all. Also my email doesnt seem to be working at the moment. The theme does work however it does look different on the phone - at a casual glance you can't see it but if you look for it, you can just. A closer match could probably be found but I don't have the time to fiddle with it but will forward it on to you to try.

You just need to remember to leave JUST enough contrast to have the phone accept the theme

Hi there!

I'm glad you like the theme i created as 'rush2611' on the site the link isn't allowed to show.
If you need this or one of my themes, you can pm me.

It's also nice to see that you haven't ripped it! Thanks!

spion alias rush2611

How did you remove the operator logo of the theme?
By changing colours or changing xml-code?

Please send me your version of 'my' theme.
(pm me the download url, please!)

I have to remind that, not all operator will work with this trick, because some of them may store their name in the sim card instead of the firmware


Damn it won't work for me then

let met guess: vodafone?

Posted by Jim
Proximus but vodafone has 25% of it and the operator name on the sim is from many years so I don't think it's vodafone

Posted by spion
Hasn't the terminator dongle something where you can
also change the datas of the sim-card?


Posted by Jim
Ok I know nothing about Sim cards and the technology about it but sometimes when I go trough all the operators name, some of them change. Like we had that Orange become Base and I checked one month later and the name has changed so my guess would be that they transmit the new changes to the sim card and thus changing the name will work for some time ....

Again I know zip about sim card it's only my guess

nope it does not

Posted by Scarab_231
OKay guys, I've heard plenty of buzz about getting rid of the operator logo's.

So for the guys who are REALLY INTO THEIR PHONE,
It CAN be done. Requires fiddling with firmware.
Check out

These guys are serious bout their phones.
Good luck.
