What are the smali / xml edits to remove the location icon? - HTC EVO 3D

What are the smali / xml edits to remove the location icon? I can make the pings transparent but that leaves a black spot in the task bar.
Any help is appreciated.

This was made possible by RMarkwald!
This guide is a reference for the smali code change that must be made inside of SystemUI.apk to properly hide the GPS icons.
You need to edit \com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\HtcCdmaStat usBar.smali
Search for:
Code:
.method private updateMtGpsIcon()V
.registers 8
.prologue
const/4 v5, 0x3
const/4 v4, 0x1
const/4 v3, 0x0
const-string v6, "gpsone"
Replace with:
Code:
.method private updateMtGpsIcon()V
.registers 8
.prologue
const/4 v5, 0x3
const/4 v4, 0x[COLOR=red]0[/COLOR]
const/4 v3, 0x0
const-string v6, "gpsone"

short answer: yes
long answer: to have write access to the system partition in order to permanently replace the SystemUI.apk file, you will need to have s-off/bootloader unlocked (which will allow writing to internal memory where /system is located) and you will need root access to modify/replace the SystemUI.apk file.
