Yes in the drop down. I know for Optimus S it was in build.prop, but it could be different for Verizon Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antEris:
The text for the carrier label is in an XML file in the framework-res.apk.

Its under /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Then you'll need to edit eri.xml inside the apk on your computer, then push it back to your phone

You can find more specific instructions Googling "how to edit eri.xml"

Or you might try conap's app to do it all for you, not sure if it will work as its intended for use with aosp roms but heck, Verizon's rom kinda looks aosp. Worth a try anyway.

Oh dude, im so walking to my laptop right now to try it!

**UPDATE: The Conaps App didnt work, resulted in having to do a nandroid recovery.

Got it! Took over an hour of playing and several crashes, 2 bootloops, and 2 nandroid recoveries later! But its friggin done!

Has anyone on Three UK managed to get this to work?? It's hard to find the right lines of code when you're looking for "3".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Oh wow, i didnt think of that.... let me take a look at the ERI.XML i have and see if maybe i can reference where my banner name is, maybe that will help.

I attached a screenshot of my eri.xml with some notes, let me know if this works, so i can update the guide for your guys phones as well.

Thats very odd.... i know it was there i even looked at it! Here it is again though...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kupo5131:
That's what I have... No sign of a 3 :what:

Edit: I've played with the eri.xml file (changed a few values) and nothing at all changed. I have a feeling I need to find a different file to edit.

If i find out anymore information I'll let you know.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
That is weird! I cant imagine it would be any different for your guys' phones. Is it possible for you to pull the eri.xml and send it to me. I don't think I will be able to test it on my phone. But Id like to look at it.

Edit: I wonder if yours can be changed in build.prop. are you running a custom rom?

Thanks for all the help so far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Ok, I will check it out after work. Also, you might want to try changing it by editing your build.prop file, I know it doesn't work with mine but it might on yours. This can be done easily by using I rom tool box then click performance, then select build.prop editor. Yours might be a little harder cause of the "3". But I will copy the one I did on my old phine using this method to show which lines to edit, when I get off work.

EDIT- I couldn't download/view your eri.xml when I click the link I get an error.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
I couldnt download your XML, i get an error when i try. Also, what are you using to view the xml on your phone? I love the way that one looks, does it allow you to edit it as well?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kupo5131:
I zipped the xml so hopefully it will download this time.

http://db.tt/s5L0mENb

The app I used is called HEX Editor, it's free on the market!

I looked at the build.prop editor but I can't find anything referring to "3". This MAY be useful information to you but when my phone first starts and is searching for a signal is displays "3 UK" then when it has the signal it displays "3"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
I unfortunately do not have a unlocked device so i havent been able to try it. Honestly, i would just make a nandroid backup, and then try see if it works, if not then, restore nandroid, THEN i would try doing it using the build.prop method. (which i havent made a do it yourself tutorial) but you can try using ROMTool Box, it has a built in build.prop editor, you would just find your carrier name in the .prop file and replace it whith whatever you want. This method allows for more character input, but it didnt work with my phone, so im not sure if its a Stock ROM vs. Custom ROM or if its CDMA vs. GMS thing. It worked on my old Sprint Optimus S w/ Custom ROM. If you try it and get it to work, let me know which method you used, so i can update the OP for compatibility.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
That is useful, it gives me more line info to try and look for. Whats going to make it hard, is i wont have any way to test it myself, in order to narrow down what the value is we need to change, but i will look it over and see if anything stands out in comparison to mine. Can you send me a screen shot of the notification drawer pulled down? I want to see how it looks. Cause thats where the name will be not up in the bar by the clock and signal meter. (I ask, cause mine never said anything different while searching for signal as opposed to finding signal on the bar, or in notification pull down.)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Here you go, try this eri.xml MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP IN CWM and of your ORIGINAL eri.xml. then resume the step in ninjamorph of replacing the eri.xml in the workspace with this one. I had to create more lines of code and insert a custom name in the eri.xml, but I cant test so I'm not sure if it will work.

DAM! I really thought that was going to work!.... lol after you replaced it did you go back into ninjamorph and click "finish project"? I only ask cause ninjamorph sometime can be kinda wonky, and it will exit all the way out, and make you think it finished it, but you have to go back in and select "finish project"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It won't work with the GSM Play, this method only works with CDMA devices and GSM devices that get there carrier name from the SIM Card, the GSM play shows whatever network the device is currently connected to.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kupo5131:
I just repeated the process from start to finish and still isn't working.

@AndroHero is there ANY way to do it with a GSM phone that you know of?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperianceIT:
Well, that would make sense. Kinda sucks for GSM guys, but definetly adding that to the OP. It has to read that info from somewhere, which means we should be able to force it to skip the display of the current network, and force it to display whatever you want. (of course im just learning how most of this works, and all my experience is on CDMA devices, but it sounds good in theory!.... lol)

No problem boss, glad you got it.

The only real way is to download a theme, or you can go in and change a few files in framework -res.apk, and systemUI.apk. I have a few themes posted HERE if you want to go that route. Most of them say XperianceIT in the notification area, and its part of the theme not changeable via the carrier name method.

[Nexus S Accessories] matt7879:
Just dropped $100 on a bluetooth accessory for my car called a Tunelink auto (I'm new so I can't post links--just google it.) Of course the thing doesn't work as advertised...when I step out of range of it and then come back into range it connects to my phone but the music doesn't play through the speakers of my car. I've noticed various results with different ROMs, but none work completely 100% right. Anybody have this working? Forums are dead for the Tunelink website and tech support was useless.
[Nexus S Accessories] ninjoe8:
I signed up for the Tunelink BETA a while back but didn't get in. However, they gave me 50% off the cost of the device for signing up. Here are my notes:

1. You HAVE to have Bluetooth on before starting your car. The Tunelink will attempt to connect to your phone only once. After that, you have to manually go into BT settings to pair it with the Tunelink.

2. If you are in ACC mode in your car and connected to Tunelink, once you start your engine, the Tunelink will lose its connection and you will have to manually set it again. I believe this is due to the stop and start of the Tunelink being faster than the stop and start of your bluetooth connection.

3. (in response to your question) It looks like from what i've stated above, Tunelink only attempts to pair once, when the engine is started. If you go out of range and come back, you'll have to manually pair it yourself. (i just gave this a second thought. in what situation would you get that far away from your car while it is running? in my city, that is an invitation for someone to drive away with it.)

4. Support has been great for me. I had an issue with my 1st gen Tunelink and they sent me a prepaid shipping label to send it in so they could update the firmware.

Conclusion: The TuneLink is definitely not worth 100 bucks since you can't even make calls through it. Even at the 50 i paid, it was quite a stretch. The nice thing about it, though, is that any phone with a bluetooth connection can play music through it. It may be possible to set up a Tasker event to force pair with the TuneLink once it is in range, but i have not been able to figure it out.
