[GUIDE] How to remove AT&T carrier name from the notification bar

For everyone installing the Stock Roms, the carrier name will be displayed in the notifications bar, which i found really ugly and kinda stupid. In this guide ill show you how to remove it.

--This guide works only on the SGH-I337 model. I haven't teseted it anywhere else. If you do, leave a post below--

-- First of all, you need to have Root Access, since we are editing system files (duh!). Secondly im not responisble for any damage done to your device for not following the steps correctly. I did it on mine and its running flawlessly. --

--- Instructions --

• Download a root file explorer (I used ES File Explorer)


• Mount /system as r/w (In ES File explorer you do this by +swiping left->right from the left side of the screen to open the settings +scroll to the bottom and enable root explorer +tap on root explorer +tap on mount r/w +on /system choose option rw)


• Close settings and on the top where it reads sdcard tap it and from the window choose / Device


• Navigate to system folder


• Before editing the build.prop file make a backup so if something goes wrong you can restore it later. Copy the file and paste it somewhere in the /sdcard directory (Not necessairly).


• Open the build.prop file


• Edit these lines as below


• From ro.product.device=jflteatt to ro.product.device=jflte


• From ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 to ro.product.model=GT-I9505


• From ro.product.name=jflteuc to ro.product.name=jfltexx


• Save file and Reboot.

This method will also replace the 4G Icon to the default one, and as you saw thevirtually change the model number shown on the about device section. Its still a SGH-I337 . And that's it! If something goes wrong simply restore the old build.prop file.
