Want a Custom Carrier Logo?

First, If you would like a custom carrier logo, there are a couple rules that you must follow first.
Code:

-The image must be 44x20
-Must be a .png image
-One black and the other white.

I am sure there is a guide that gets deep into depth of this somewhere. If not, i will put mine on here.

Anyways, you take the 2 logos that you would like to use, and make their names spelled EXACTLY as they are below, Where is your carrier. Normally, it's just ATT:

(White Image) - FSO_CARRIER_.png
(Black Image) - Default_CARRIER_.png

Now, as you have both images, you should SSH into your phone and go into the /System/Library/Carrier Bundles section and find your carrier. Place the images into the correct folder and apply changes. Restart your Iphone and when its back up, you should see your custom logo.

If you are not using ATT or Tmobile and would like to use a custom logo as well like me, then you can put both your logos in the "/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/unknown.bundle" folder, with your carriers name being the (mine would be Centennial). Restart Iphone, and should work...but if all else fails...there is a 3rd contingency plan.

Final plan, is follow everything from step one. Then, download MakeItMine. After applying the new carrier logos to the ATT folders in your SSH, restart your Iphone. Then, when your back up, use MakeItMine and type in the box "ATT" without the quotes. Hit the carrier button, and VIOLA'!
