Erica– I have an odd request. I love MIM, as all of your software. I had it on my 1.1.2 phone. But my phone is not keeping a charge, so I restored my phone to remove all of the jailbreaking and remembered to “reset” the carried b/4 I did this. I went up to 1.1.3 when I restored. All was fine, yet when I synced my phone to get my data back on, my MIM carrier came back! How can I get it back to ATT w/o having to go through downgrading? Is there a way? I need to get this charging issue straight, yet Apple, I doubt, will not be too happy to help a phone that has “sk8″ as the carrier. Help!
Thanks.

Use CaptionCrunch, the Carrier edition

Is there any argumet (like &time or %time or…) so that you can have both text AND the current time using Banner?

Comment by Erica Sadun | January 29, 2008 | 2:33 pm

Not via springboard.

You can create a shell script that updates it every minute with the right time and a custom message though.

I’ve just installed MIM 0.03 and Banner. Neither work, which makes me wonder if another app is blocking both. I have Customize in place and have been using it for carrier icons/text. Your take? Thanks.

Are you running 1.1.3?

Comment by river0 | January 30, 2008 | 9:31 pm

1.1.2. That must be it!

Comment by river0 | January 30, 2008 | 10:36 pm

Have dropped back to MakeItMine-0.01, and that works fine. Thanks.

Erica - I am wondering why MIM works on 1.1.3 but nothing else can replace the carrier image. I have manually replaced all of my “AT&T” images, and STILL it shows AT&T. Has Apple hard coded this, like they have with the background “image”?

Tested MIM under 1.1.4 and works flawlessly, can you update the repo script so it allows installation from installer? Cheers

Comment by jomo2000 | March 2, 2008 | 5:29 am

Hi Erica, you sure know that MIM doesn’t work with 1.1.4
Pleeeeease …

Comment by jomo2000 | March 2, 2008 | 5:30 am

oops - didn’t see peu’s comment. Good to know its only the installer script…

Hi Erica first my cogratulations to you on the great work!!! Keep up!!!
I’ve been trying to install MIM on my iphone, but for some reason after I download it I try to install it but it switches to a complete white screen and then it goes back to the normal screen!
What could be going wrong here??

Hi Erica! i love your programs! i just have a quick question… I just got the new IPHONE and i had used MIM on my old one, now my when i restored my backup to my IPHONE it changed my carrier info. I cant jailbreak the new iphone so how do i restore the default?

thanks for your help!

Comment by Erica Sadun | July 13, 2008 | 11:13 am

Either use caption crunch or delete you backup.

Comment by Anders | February 11, 2009 | 2:07 pm

Hi Erica.

Thanks for your excellent command-line tools!

You mention the idea of using a shell script to update the banner or carrier name.

How do I set them from a shell script? The MakeItMine i downloaded via Cydia has a GUI.

I found your sb tool that does the trick. Very nice!
