Meteor iphone setting files including logo

weilai

What's in the zipped file?
There are four files under one folder in the zipped file, they are:
__Vodfaone_ie.bundle
|__carrier.plist
|__Default_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png
|__SFO_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png
|__Info.plist

carrier.plist contains the settings in Property List format, these include apn setting, carrier logo file path, voice mail number etc.,
Info.plist contains some general settings,
the two .png files are carrier logos.

How to install?
To install the setting files, just follow three simple steps:
Step 1. Download the zip file which is attached to this post and unzip.

Step 2. Transfer the folder to /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/ on your iphone
You can use ftp client at your choice.

Setp 3. ssh to your iphone and run following command
ln -s /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles/Meteor_ie.bundle /System/Library/Carrier\ Bundles/27203
You can also use Terminal if you have it installed.

This is a screenshot with Meteor logo:


I need your help!!
Take it easy, I'm not asking for donation.
Current package only contains carrier logo but no network settings. I don't use Meteor myself, so can't test it. If anyone use Meteor knows a working internet setting, please let me know, I'll update it.

Hope this will help.

the two .png files are carrier logos.

And if you're feeling adventurous you can could create your own logo with Paint.

hi thanks for this!
do you develop debian packages for the iphone?
I would like to package this into a .deb file for easy installation.
I can package it up all except for the part of entering the command.
I believe i need to use a post-installation script?
Apologies if you know nothing about debian packaging!!

weilai>> thanks for this, I was actually googling for "howto" disable annoying "Call forwarding active" popup, when I found a thread about CarrierBundle. I catually SFTP into the phone, I mean I use Ubuntu and can ssh no probs, however when just copying stuff or editing scripts, etc. This is easier. When I opened the right folder (/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/Unknown.bundle/) I found not one but lots of "providers", BUT thanks to your "27203" I was able to name that number so finally realized what Meteor's MCC+MNC code is. And the hint about symbolic link to that folder gave me the last missing piece of puzzle.

The command isnt working for me for some reason can someone help?

Easiest way to do it is ssh the two logo files into :private/var/mobile/carrier bundle then respring ^_^

You will need to give more information as to what you are seeing and what exactly you need help with.

PuddinBum

Does this work with 3.0?

acidburn51737

Yes it does

slinky2000

Hey man, I see the logo when I first get service but it immediately reverts to the normal "Meteor" text.

Any ideas?

acidburn51737

did you copy the 2 file and renamed them as your default logo name?

slinky2000

Rename? You never said anything to rename

I copied the folder called "Meteor_ie.bundle" after I've unzipped it to System\Library\Carrier Bundles\

I then copied the files to System\Library\Carrier Bundles\27203

acidburn51737

sorry my bad. you copied the whole folder to >carrier bundles? you just need to copy the two files with the carrier name on it. like, when i copied the vodafone carrier logo, i had to rename the two files to o2 first before copying it to >carrier bundles> o2.ie folder.

slinky2000

Mate, I'm confused. My org carrier was o2 uk when the phone was bought, I'm now on meteor. Where do I need to rename/copy the orginal image files to

Default_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png
FSO_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png

At the moment they are inside:

/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/Meteor_ie.bundle
/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/27203

acidburn51737

sorry if i confused you. im a little confused myself lol. you have the custom carrier logo right? now rename the 2 .png files to

Default_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png
&
FSO_CARRIER_Meteor-ie.png

then copy the 2 file to
/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/Meteor_ie.bundle

respring and that might do it

slinky2000

Hey again, thanks for your help.

I've recopied in my meteor png's to the folder "/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/Meteor_ie.bundle"

What is happening now is when I get service, I see the custom png meteor logo, but only for about 1 second then it switches back to the plain old meteor text. Any ideas?

slinky2000

As you can see by the screen shots, I do get the custom logo for a second then it switches back to the standard

Hi everyone, I have compiled this into a package and it is now available on cydia for download. just search for meteor mms and you should find it. Credit goes to the OP, obviously, for providing these files. I just made a couple of slight changes so when you install the package you will get full mms & wap settings and carrier logo.

SAME AS ME!

As I've described above and still no solution.

jackmeehan

Using iFile, you's could try going into "/var/mobile/library/carrier bundle.bundle/" and make sure the permissions for both the logo files are set as follows;

User: Read, Write
Group: Read
World: Read

No bother at all. Is mms and data working ok for you?

Yeah data an mms are working fine ,

Jakmeehan

Ok well that's the main thing. I wasn't aware of any problems with the carrier logo but I will look into it.

GhanGee

please, share with me what setup to use to make data (3G) + MMS available on Meteor. Thanks.

Install the package "Meteor Carrier Bundle" from Cydia
Restart Phone
Go to Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network> Tap "Reset Settings" a couple of times.

That's it!

Although, I haven't been able to get data working properly on 3G - only on EDGE.

That said, it could work fine for you. Let me know

GhanGee

thxx, I'll check that when I get home and will let you know.

I can confirm my permissions are fine but it still disppears after a second or two.

The data and mms settings are fine, 3g edge etc!

Mikebyrne

MMS not working and I cant see the new logo with the downloded package from Cydia

jackmeehan

Please make sure you have rebooted your phone, and reset cellular data network settings as instructed.

What firmware are you on?

And can you confirm that 3g networking is working ok for you?

Did you use ultrasn0w or blacksn0w to unlock?

slinky2000

jackmeehan wrote: »

ultraSn0w back with 3.0 and then blacksn0w with 3.1.2

jackmeehan

Do you have the package from cydia installed or did you do it manualy as the OP described?

If you have the cydia package installed, it must be a confliction with blacksn0w. I haven't personally tested it with blacksn0w, but I have tested it on many iphones using ultrasn0w and it works fine.

Jax Teller

Got the carrier logo to work , just downloaded carrier logo fixer from cydia .
On 3.1.2 using blacksn0w to unlock if that helps anyone

You may have to reset the settings a couple of times to get it to work, have you restarted your phone?

Could it be your sim card ?

had no issues before... so would 100% say no.... i imagine it's something do with incoming XYZ and outgoing is XYZ fine


also i know the 3g chooses wifi over 3g but for that split second that you lose wifi mainly when coming off keylock) it uses 3g from meteor.... at a cost

any thoughts on this

Jakmeehan

Never heard of that issue before... As for the 3G problem, you could turn off 3g and EDGE when you're not using it, that way you will NEVER be accidentally or unwillingly connected to the internet through Meteor

i heard off an app that turns off 3g and edge but was thinking that edge function is needed for text and phonecalls.... might download the app and try...
