I agree. I can't see anything about this app that is actually any different than MIM other than the interface. Even the "warning" about having to quit the app to reset carrier logos is the same.

how come when I change my carrier with either makeitmine or fake, it doesnt scroll across to show you the full carrier name? It does this if your full carrier name is longer than the window provided?
