Android :: How To Find Out Carriers Name In Android?

How can I find out carrier's name in Android?
Much like a launcher app, I was wondering if it were possible to steal the phone specific is from another phone. And if so, could it be from a carrier different than my own?

Is this something that Google changed? Can this still be done, or is it done automatically? Can't the carrier be detected from the device?

IT'S NOT LIKE GMAIL. EXISTING USERS DON'T HAVE AN INVITE OPTION, ONLY GOOGLE CAN INVITE YOU.
I wanted to talk with other Google Voice users about how they are using Google Voice with their Android. I am pretty new to both the concept of a single number and especially how I might use it with Android.
Please use this thread to post questions about how to use the android app and the overall app. Again, we can't hand out invites, only Google can.
I'm about to dump ATT/IPhone for Sprint/Android (EVO), but one thing has been nagging me and I want to make sure I know my options before jumping (e.g. given these 2 yr contracts).My concern is with ongoing support for my phone after purchase, support in terms of receiving the latest/greatest updates to the Android platform (e.g. within hardware constraints). Who ultimately controls whether a phone gets a release (e.g. Carrier or Manufacturer)?It seems to me the best bet is to go with the Nexus One platform given that is under the control of Google and should be well supported in that respect. However, it seems like it is going to be a hassle and/or costly to go with Nexus One using Sprint. Is there anyway around paying full price for Nexus One and using Sprint as a carrier? Any chance Google has a deal with the carriers to subsidize phones?Plus, I would prefer not to have the blot (e.g. UI modifications, app replacements, etc) added to the phone by Carriers and/or Manufactures (e.g. prefer Android as perceived by Google). Wondering who has the control of UI modifications. Does the Carrier contract with the Manufacturer and have control over what is added and how it is supported (e.g. whether a phone gets a new Android release, etc)? Or does the Manufacturer have the control?And lastly, say I get the EVO and on down the line someone (Manufacturer or Carrier) decides no more updates for the EVO. It sounds like I should be able to root the phone and continue with updates. Without support from Carrier/Manufacturer of course, but is it against the Carriers rules to root a phone?
Also, when rooting a phone, I'm assuming you can not take a release straight from Google and install it. Rather, someone has to implement the release for the target hardware (e.g. build, add any necessary drivers, etc). Are there any gotchas in doing this? Who is the most reliable supplier of these builds? I know that is a pretty broad question and I'll plan on doing additional research in that areas, but if anybody can give me a nudge or share their experience, that would be great.
Does anyone know a list of countries and carriers where phones with the Android OS can be bought?
I searched for a while for this now but haven't found anything...
I realize it isn't ideal to run / jog with such an expensive cellphone, but I recently misplaced my Creative Zen media player and I'll probably try using my EVO. Has anyone tried this out yet, or can recommend good cases or carriers for use while running?

My friend said that his carrier was tracking all his internet history.
Do any carriers do this.
Does the 4.4 update remove the carriers restrictions on the Google wallet? Specifically can you use the nfc payment. I read that the carriers restricted the nfc payment feature on Google wallet for "supposed security reasons" and that the 4.4 update is supposed to fix this.

Sometimes, I see an application on androlib.com, or androidzoom.com that I want to install on my phone. However, I can not find it on Market, I even tried with QR Code, but still come out with a result "not found". why? is it because that app doesn't support my phone? Example, right now, I can not find LiquiDroid on my HTC Wildfire

Locale for Android
The website states that it can be downloaded over at Android Market but I can't find it anywhere.
I am looking for an efficient way to find out if a resource (mostly a drawable) is used in java or in an XML file.
The problem is, that on my current project the drawables are changed often and now I have some drawables, which might never be used.
Is there a tool/way to find those unused drawables without search each filename in the whole project?

I have a Dragon Touch 9 inch 8 gb 512 memory tablet and on amazon, it showed the notification on top and the back, home and recent apps on bottom. I don't know how to enable this (if you can), But if i cant, i will just make a app that does this.
