remove carrier name from status bar

I tried that and a few other simple edits of system files a week or so ago, and none of them worked...

It seems the normal way to rid yourself of the carrier text is via an Xposed Framework module, which we can not run either for the time being.

If you are feeling brave then this seems to be the only possible way to do it without Xposed:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773879

It involves decompiling the SystemUI.apk and replacing some values in /res/layout/status_bar.xml with a zero, then recompiling and replacing the original.

Not worth the effort (or risk) in my view, I dislike the carrier label, but not enough to go to that level of messing around. I've already lowered the screen dpi to 215 to give a bit more space on the status bar so the carried name has shrunk making it less painful to look at.

*I'll be very interested (and pleased) if anyone can find a simpler way to achieve this, especially one where we just edit something in build.prop, local.prop or similar...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdc77:
have you try to force update?

copy dload folder (with inside update.app) on ext-sdcard

turn off the phone, and hold the Volume UP AND DOWN buttons and power button at the SAME TIME! Now you will see a screen with a progress bar saying "Unpacking"

this procedure completely reset phone

Recovery Via Fastboot.

Download Update.app from here Link

Download Huawei Extractor from here Link

Run Huawei extractor and extract the system.img file from the archive

Download the Slim Android SDK Link

Extract and right click in the folder and select "open dos window here"

Copy the system.img to the working folder

Command

Fastboot flash system system.img

Before I flashed CWM recovery, I think, it saves original stock recovery.img like version for A20 does... Mea culpa...

@dimspace: All what you wrote I does. The phone works, but worse. For example - when I close my browser, Google bar and Weather opens with a delay approx. 1 - 2 sec. Before that, it was not. I think that the sistem.img from that update.app is not quite the same as the real my stock rom. Icons are not quite the same like before, too.

@fdc77: I tried this method, but phone goes to loop reboot - a moment I saw black screen, after that for a second I saw recovery and again everything from the beginning. WHEN I must release all three buttons?

And - on SD may be present anything else without dload folder with UPDATE.APP?

Process started (yellow letters runing) and quickly stoped with error "update fail". Saw the words "error" and somthing else.

After error opens recovery page similar as stock rekovery (Is it? Actually I have CWMR...) . There I saw recovery type: "Y550-L01V100R001C00B239S".

EDITED: Tried update with CWM recovery and bricked one more time. Now after pressing Reboot, phone reboots directly in CWMR.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdc77:
you MUST use stock recovery, with cwm or twrp doesn't work

first flash stock recovery if you don't have it, just flashed with the metod explained by dimspace some post above, than retry to force update

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
That´s the point I had already done if I had access to them. For CM12.1 I used a 'Dedicated Server' service by strato.de to build. I was in testing period (30 days trial) but unfortunately they deactivated my Account by reason: "Too much load on server in trial phase". And I don't have any access to the server right now. I tried building up the CM13 sources of the CM12.1 ones from my mind, but I realised that I have to make alot of changes to get it working like CM12.1. I'm still arguing with the Strato.de support to just give my 'personal data', but always they respond with that I was in trial phase so I should always be aware of possibly loosing any data.

I'm sorry for that, but by now I try building CM13 with my own computer until I found a good solution to handle building.

The faster the card the better our phone work, if you want extra speed, over 40mb in reading, for example the pro Samsung u1 or the u3 Kingston that I saw both in eBay at 24£ for 64gb, you will be able to take ultra HD video in a photo or video camera, and then swap in the phone to upload where ever you like.

I'm curious to test the new Oi or LD Chinese, but old models of extra speed Lexar 128gb black and blue of 90/80mb of reading and writing speed pro seconds are sometime online original at 25/29£, they clearly run out quickly, so check it often.

http s://yadi.sk/a/8Kw4aXF2kpBLa .

I believe that battery drain quicker because of the bigger memory as it scans media, not sure.

Huawei Ascend Y550 - Marshmallow upgrade?

Hi,

Can anyone advise me how I can upgrade my standard Huawei Ascend Y550 to take advantage of the latest features of Marshmallow and to use the new feature to allow the SD card to become part of the phone's storage?

Having spent many years in iPhone territory, I'm pretty new to Android, and also not used to rooting and ROMs etc (although I tinkered a bit in my old Windows Mobile days...).

My Huawei is fine, as long as I don't want more than 5 apps or so. With the 4Gb storage, I run out of space every few days and need to keep deleting and re-installing apps to clear space and to allow existing apps to be updated. That is becoming too tedious for me! I have my default storage set to SD card, and as much moved across as possible. But it isn't enough.

I followed a link to download a Marshmallow ROM and got all caught up in junk pages and couldn't escape out of that to even have a try.

Should I just go and buy a new phone, or is there a cleaner and easier way that I could try?

Thanks,

Rob
