Iphone Carrier Change

Changing the carrier name from an unlocked iPhone’s status bar has been possible to do ever since Cydia released Zeppelin earlier this year. The application comes with preset logos you can use such as Pac-Man, Space Invaders, the Assassin insignia of the Assassin Order from Assassin’s Creed (well, that was a mouthful) and my personal favorite…

The time is purely coincidental. Probably.

The only problem with the method above is that the device has to be jailbroken. The release and popularity of the iPhone 5 has rendered the Zeppelin application useless since the new iPhone has yet to be jailbroken (hopefully soon).

Well thanks to Uhelios, an iOS coder, it is now possible to change the carrier name without having to jailbreak your device!

Carrier Editor Carrier Editor, for Mac OS X 10.7+ only, allows you to change the carrier logo on Apple devices that can support data/phone service (doesn’t work on Wi-Fi only devices).

To start you’ll want to download Carrier Editor.

Once you’re done downloading the file, open the disk image. It should show three files. The ZeppelinLogos folder holds all of the preset images that you’ll want to use later. For now, just open CarrierEditor.

Click on the application should take you to this page. Click on Let’s Get Started to begin.

Next, you’ll need to enter your phone’s carrier version into the application. To do this you’ll need to go to General on your device. Next, click on About and scroll down until you find Carrier, which should then have the version number you’ll need next to your carrier name (eg. Verizon 13.5).

Once you’ve inserted that information, you will need to find the type of device and carrier you have. If you don’t find your carrier, it won’t work.

Now you can customize. Remember that Zeppelin folder in your disk image of the application? Open it and check out all the preset images. I chose the Triforce insignia from the Legend of Zelda, below. Drag the black(@2x).png file into the top box and the etched(@2x).png into the bottom one. Once you find the logo you like, click on Compile Carrier Update (.ipcc).

Next, you’ll need to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Go to your device, hold the alt/option button and click on Restore iPhone (this will not restore your phone). Find the Verizon_LTE_US_v13.6.ipcc (made earlier) and press Open. This should now change your carrier logo. If it doesn’t change instantly, give it a few minutes and then restart the phone.

Expert Advice About Auto Repair For Those In Need

Having your car break down can be among the most frustrating things in the world. Getting it fixed can be equally as frustrating. If you are in need of some auto repair, this article is perfect for you. Below is a list of tips that will tell you everything you need to know about auto repair.

When you run into car problems, you should first turn to the Internet to learn what the problem could be. You may find that it is an easy to repair problem that you can do on your own. This could save you hundreds of dollars in labor fees if you had to take it to a shop.

Familiarize yourself with the dashboard of your car. Your dashboard should display five different kinds of warning, including the check engine light, oil pressure warning, an alternator warning, a temperature warning and a brake warning. Learn to recognize these different lights so you can easily identify what needs your attention.

Don’t pay money for air. Familiarize yourself with the correct air pressure of your car tires and invest in an air compressor. Check your tires on a regular basis and keep them properly inflated on your own. Being able to do this yourself on a regular basis will save you money in terms of wear and tear and regular maintenance.

Independent garages and mechanics are usually much cheaper than dealerships. You might get a discount at your dealership if you purchased your car recently but do not make a habit of going to your dealership if you find their prices too expensive. Find out about local independent garages with a good reputation instead.

Ask a technician if they are A.S.E. certified before you agree to have them work on your vehicle. If they have this certification, it means they have passed a written test and have worked in the industry for at least 2 years. You will know that you are getting someone skilled by choosing someone with this.

Be aware of a mechanic who makes unneeded repairs to your car. Good mechanics will inform you if parts need replacing or will need replacing in the near future; however, they should not actually take the extra step and replace parts without your knowledge and approval. If a mechanic did an unnecessary repair on your car, don’t take it there again.

If you feel pressured by the garage or dealership you visit to get your car maintained or repaired, do not hesitate to leave. Reliable mechanics will not put any pressure on their customers and will focus on providing quality service. Follow your gut feeling and stay away from the mechanics who do not seem trustworthy.

If your car’s electrical system is behaving strangely, try cleaning the ground cables. Auto makers such as https://gmglobalconnectinfo.com/ use the metal body of a vehicle to act as a “ground” for the electrical system. Over time the area where this cable connects to the frame can corrode, causing a stray electrical current that can wreak havoc on your system. This cable is usually connected on the firewall or fender, so simply disconnect it and use a wire brush or sandpaper to clean the contacts.

Always keep some tail light tape around. You could get pulled over and get a ticket for a broken tail light. You should remove the light from your vehicle, replace the light-bulb if you need to and wrap the whole light in tape. This is a temporary fix but it is better than driving with a broken light.

No one likes to deal with getting their car fixed. However, for many of us, it is a necessary evil. Be sure and implement the tips you have read in the article above. Doing so will make your auto repair experience as effortless as possible and will have you back in the drivers seat in no time.
