OpMon Change That Annoying Service Name To What You Want

OpMon - Script to change operator name
Per darktiger's request, I whipped up a little MortScript package with installer to let you easily set a custom operator name and the interval in which the script will check to make sure your operator name is set. It's a two-part MortScript, opmon is the config GUI and opset is the background process which will run on first load and at system startup to ensure your custom name "sticks".

Installation & Usage

1. Download the zip file below and extract the CAB installer.
2. Run the CAB on your device to install.
3. Launch the config GUI by going to Start -> Programs -> OpMon.
4. Set your name and delay, then exit to apply the changes.


This has only been tested on my Mogul, but there is nothing device specific in the script, so it should work on almost any phone.

As always, suggestions are welcome and I hope you like it!

I receive the following msg when trying to install - "Installation of OpMon.cab was unsuccessful." Am I supposed to be running a certain version of the HTC Home plugin? On the other hand...is there something else out there that'll allow me to accomplish the same thing that OpMon is doing?

bro this has been discussed many times before you could have searched the problem and found the answer so please do in the future. you downloaded the attachment and sometimes the XP and Vista attachment problem can effect the files. so all you have to do is download from the rapidshare link and you will be golden.

[psyclonethetruth]

its a fairly simple problem. just one concern. whenever i change the operator name, it stays that way for a little while and then it changes back to AT&T. what am i doin wrong?

I could've sworn I did download the file from the rapidshare link, however let me try again Being new to this site, I'm still figuring things out so I apologize for any inconvenience. I placed a search and received no results, but apparently I was not in the right location. In any case, thanks for your help and I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

D/\sh, What are you talking about?? I've installed all apps just fine, except for this one, on my phone.. This is the first time that I've mentioned something like this... Have had no problems with anything else, except for the GPS thinking that I'm in the wrong area on Google Maps (Obviously a radio issue that I'm still working on)... Other than that, Everything is working just fine on my phone... So, what are you talking about??

ive could have sworn that ryou posted in a couple of threads saying that you couldnt get it to install.... try a soft reset to get it to install and all. i just tested again even though i already have it on my phone and overwrote and installed without problems.

Had already tried that.. Hmmmm, Just one of those weird things.. I went onto xda's site, and installed it just fine... Just something unexplainable, I guess...

[AlvinJue]

hey guys. heres a much easier way to change your cell phone carrier name. i got it from the xda-developers site so im not going to take an credit for it. all i know is that it works for every WM device. im using it on my tilt and my blackjack without a flaw. all you do is install it to your memory (takes only 140kb of space) and then just type what ever you want to be in place of your carrier name and press ok. and thats all there is to it. here is the link. hope you guys enjoy!

Rapidshare got messed up and for a day straight it said i was still downloading a file from this IP so i couldnt download anything else.
So i figured use my phone and DL the file. But for some reason the DL happened right away and the cab wouldnt work. I moved the cab to my PC and the file was corrupt and the 3 files i DLed were all 56Kb, Which wasnt the right file size. I was using opera on my mobile as well.. Donno why....


I cant get this app to work. I dont get it. So simple but it wont work.
Changed name, set refresh to 1, did a soft reset.
But it still says sprint.
hmmmm..

I tried the xda link that was posted but it doesnt work anymore.

omg LOL..you aren't havin much luck are ya! there is another app that does this also. opmon has worked fine for me tho. the other app is Personalizer_2.0. as my profile states i have the vogue so i cannot promise you either will work on the pro.. GL

[tek]

lol, the rapidshare was a reply to someone else in this post saying they used opera on there mobile and none of there DLs worked. I had that same problem. Im not sure why. But every cab file I downloaded was only 56k, when i moved them to my pc they were all corrupt. But finally rapidshare is letting me DL again so its all good.

But thanks man.. I'll have to try that app. Im at starbucks right now. So have to check it out later. I figured this one would work since DASH has a HTC Touch as well.
I know he has the Diamond, but i think the only difference between the Diamond and mine is this has a qwerty keypad that slides out.

This wors fine on the pro:)

Super, thats what i cant figure out. Dash used it and Its simple enough to use. Place a name in line one, and put number 1 in line two. I've powered down and tried a soft reset. But yet im stuck with Sprint..

I looked up Personalizer_2.0 for a post but couldnt find it. I tried just Personalizer as well.. did you grab that program off Wckediden?

--------- New Post Merged on 18/12/2008 at 04:09:32 --------

Oh what the hell... I just Downloaded S2P, The iphone mp3 player. And on the top left it had the custom name I used in OpMon. So apparently OpMon works on my phone. But on my home screen (Clock, Call History, Calendar, Date) it still says Sprint on the top right.

That Sprint on the home screen must be a image file or something. Im just guessing since it wont change.

if your running the stock rom that would be the top curtain and there is a cab that will remove that for you...... but why not jsut go to a custom rom.... your phone will be more stable, have more memory for all the goodies, run faster, and jsut be the dream and beast that this phone realyl can be.... the custom rom will also give you wayyy better battery life :>

Before i Unlocked my GPS to turn it into a plan old Windows CE os and run all the apps i wanted i spent 6 hours reading everything i could. I was scared to mess with it in fear of trashing it. My old MotoQ the most i did was a few simple Reg Edits. I did add enough shit to it though that one day it simply wouldnt boot up. I was without a phone for a couple days while they sent me a new one. That was my first Smartphone.

This HTC Touch is my first PPC Phone. The MotoQ was simple to figure out, like how the home screen was laid out (just a image file). But I cant even figure out the Home screen on this phone, The 3D Icons as you scroll your finger across the bottom, how the pages load (Home, People, Music, Texts). I have no clue how they did that. Basically im trying to say I dont know even the basics about PPCphones. So Im a little worried that I may end up trashing my phone. It was a early Xmas gift. It would suck if I destroy it before Xmas even gets here. I would feel really bad. Plus I love this damn phone.

ah screw it.. Okay Dash, What ROM should I use? I'll have to do some reading on here before i go through with it though. But just wondering what one you would suggest so i can go read through that thread.

I would recommend 1 of 3 of the these roms.....BJs mureder ROM, Kaos Hybrid ROM, Hibbys 1.7 ROM:)

i was wondering does it being at 1 sec affect battery life as opposed to 50 or 900??

[Superman369]

Nope, and it wont really work properly if its not at 1.

[BiG JeW]

No it doesnt kill the battery faster..... it changes hows fast to refresh the name when opening, closing windows, making changes, etc..

[Metalmayhem]

Bump..




OpMon allows you to change the mobile operator name on your device to one of your choosing.

The mobile operator name is what you see when you enter your dialpad, receive an incoming call and what is displayed at the upper-left corner of the HTC Home plugin (ex. Sprint PCS, AT&T 3G). OpMon does not make any permanent changes, instead there is a background process (opset.exe) which checks at specified intervals to see what the current name is and makes a change if it doesn't match your custom name.

You may see the name change back to the default occasionally when the phone's radio status changes (when the phone radio is turned off, roaming, etc.). OpMon will automatically change it to your custom selection as long as background monitoring is turned on, even after a soft-reset!

NOTE: In my testing, you can set the "Check name every ____ seconds" option to as low as 1 second without adversely affecting performance on your device. Your mileage may vary.


Requirements
Windows Mobile 5 or 6
.NET 2.0 Compact Framework


Usage
1. Install OpMon.cab.
2. Launch OpMon from Start->Programs->OpMon.
3. Enter a custom operator name.
4. Check enable background monitoring.
5. Set the number of seconds between name checks.

adding cab to the first post, thanks
