Branding

The visible name in the status bar, lock screen, and app switcher is controlled by branding.deviceName in config.json. Each device has its own value:

{
"phone": { "branding": { "deviceName": "MyServer Phone" } },
"tablet": { "branding": { "deviceName": "MyServer Tablet" } }
}

Falls back to Blixt / Blixt Tablet when omitted.

The branding field is purely cosmetic — it does not rename the FiveM resource. The resource folder must stay blixt (and blixt-tablet, blixt-business) because:

  • blixt-tablet declares dependencies { 'blixt' } in its fxmanifest.lua — renaming the phone folder makes the tablet refuse to start.
  • The boot telemetry payload includes the resource name; renaming makes your installs invisible in adoption metrics. (You can disable telemetry if that’s what you want — see Privacy & telemetry.)
  • External apps reference Blixt by the blixt export namespace.

If you must rebrand the resource folder names too — e.g. for a fully white-labelled product — that’s outside the scope of a config edit. Reach out via your support email.
