How can I change the Carrier text to Logo?

[ronenj]

Hello,

Is there an easy way of changing the carrier text (Orange in my case) to the Orange logo?

Thanks,
Ronen

Easy? Not necessarily, but it is doable. If you've jailbroken your iPhone, I believe there are tools that will let you do this, although I'm not sure of the names of them off-hand.

If you haven't jailbroken and don't want to, then this is still possible, but you have to build your own custom carrier update bundle and upload it to your iPhone via iTunes. This can be a fair bit more complicated as you would have to find an existing Orange carrier bundle, modify the PLIST to use the logo, and then zip it up and transfer it up to your iPhone in the proper format.

Thanks; my iPhone is Jailbroken, but I admit that I'm not that knowledgeable in doing the stuff the wrote.
I did manage to SSH it and connect to it with WinSCP, and I do have the two "DEFAULT" and "FSO" files for Orange, but I don't know where to put them as there are many carrier bundles folders for Orange.
Any idea?
Thanks

I know you can change the text but i'm not sure about the logo. You can do that with "Make it mine"

Yep, MiM works for the text, but the logo stayed the same. Anyway, I'll keep searching.

The carrier bundle for your active profile for Orange should be linked/aliased to a "Carrier.plist" file in your /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework folder on your iPhone. This is a symlink to the actual carrier.plist file within the Carrier Bundles folders, so if you SSH in and do an "ls -la" on that folder you should see where it's actually linked to.

Note that you can also find some tools out there that will build custom carrier bundles. Do a Google search for "carrier.plist custom bundles" and you'll find a number of options. Note that you can build a carrier bundle on your computer and then upload it to your iPhone from there and in fact this doesn't even require your iPhone to be jailbroken since iTunes will happily load in carrier bundle updates for you.
