[Q] Remove signal strenth icon from status bar - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a Lenovo a60 phone. It has dual SIM support. However i rarely keep the second SIM card activated which results in a no-signal icon beside the 1st SIM signal icon. Anyway i can remove the NO SIGNAL icon ONLY? I still want the signal strenth of the second SIM to appear when SIM 2 is activated but i don't want the icon when SIM 2 is deactivated.
I believe it lies somewhere in the SystemUI.apk since that's how i removed the Vibration Indicator icon.
ALSO inf anyone knows how to removed the NO SIGNAL icon in the statusbar of ANY PHONE(dual sim or not) please post it. I'll examine it and port the changes according to my firmware!
Thnx!

Nevermind...figured it out

Sir, I have same problem...can you tell me, what you do?
thanks before...

Since i NEVER need SIM 2 i removed the icon COMPLETELY. Si it won't appear even when you insert SIM 2. BUt that shouldn't be too hard to figure out. If you wanna remove SIM 2 completely, lemme know.

Can you tell me how to do that? I don't really need SIM2...

Sorry about the late reply. Computer HD crashed :/
Anyways here are the steps.
1)Decompile SystemUI.apk
2)Go to com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy.smali <---Make a backup of this file before proceeding.
3)Find 'phone_signal_2' and delete the invoke-virtual 'setIcon()' method after it. (The invoke-virtual setIcon() method MAY NOT be immediately after 'phone_signal_2'. There maybe other lines in between. DO NOT delete those.)
4)Repeat Step 3 for EVERY instance of 'phone_signal_2'.
5)Recompile SystemUI.apk(don't forget to delete classes.dex from the 'keep' folder )
6)Push it back to your phone and change permissions to rw-rw-r
7)Reboot & Enjoy the extra status bar space

A better and simple way to hide SIM2 signal icon:
1. Edit file /system/build.prop
2. Find this line os code (without quotes) "ro.operator.optr=OP02"
3. Change it to (without quotes) "ro.operator.optr=OP01"
3. Save and Reboot

Maybe replacing stat_signal_null.png image by a blank one will do the trick without modifying smali code.
I'am not dev but had done some mods in icons.

i have dual sim note2 and found a solution to hide sim2 from status bar
go to "/system" and open "buil.prop" with text editor
found line "ro.nosignal.hideicons=no"
change it to "ro.nosignal.hideicons=yes" no quotes
if no card was inserted the icon disapear, or if you lose signal from network also disapear, for both sim slots

You can always use Gravitybox to do this.

GravitiBox also hide both wifi and signal bar icons together. It's not possible to hide only signal bar. I want to know when I'm connected to wifi in the statusbar.

Bro sorry to reply to a old thread , but i have opposite problem and need your help.
I have AOSP v4 rom for redmi note 3 and i'm using 2 sims in it , but the problem is developer of rom has merged both signal bar of both sims into 1 in status bar , so does not matter if you have 1 sim actiavted or 2 , it only shows only signal bar of 1 sim.
Can you please help me getting back the signal bar of 2nd sim also. ?
plz it's a request .

Try adding (without quotes) "ro.operator.optr=OP02" to build.prop. If there's already a line with "ro.operator.optr=OP01", just change it to "ro.operator.optr=OP02". note that it's OPzerotwo.
I'm, not a dev, this just seems like the logical thing to do, since the opposite disables the status bar junk.

[Q] [solved] apns-conf.xml is empty and no spn-conf.xml

On my Galaxy Note, in \system\etc I used to have a modified spn-conf.xml to override the network settings from my virtual provider, in order to leave data roaming unchecked and have proper signal icons (instead of a constantly showing R).
<spnOverride numeric="20412" fake_home_on="20408, 20410" />
But on the Z Ultra this xml-file is missing, and furthermore apns-conf.xml is empty. I tried to paste the file in \system\etc (with right permissions and ownership) but that did not do the trick: the ZU still needs to have data roaming on to have an mobile internet connection.
So where is the APN information stored in the stock rom? And/or is there another way to let the ZU know that I'm not really roaming?

It seems that the fake_home_on argument does not work with all firmwares. So I found a solution by running a script that changes the virtual operator numeric and alpha on my sim, so that it matches the operator my phone connects to.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
su
setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric 20408
setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "NL KPN"
setprop gsm.operator.isroaming false
So I noticed some firmware versions did not have any trouble in recognizing national data roaming, and I narrowed it down to these two entries. I've added them to config.prop (in system\etc\customization\settings) and this solves my problem even better.
Code:
ro.roaming.extended=true
ro.roaming.extended_rule=1

Just out of curiosity, are you running JellyBean or KitKat? Because since the update to 4.4.2 on my ZU, I had to revert to my first solution in order to get rid of the R icon.

How to set up LTE on most custom ROMs (all LG G2 variants)

Hi
In many forums I saw people complaining on their LTE connections or even lost the option to set LTE.
I tried this and works fine on many custom ROMs
Type one of this codes in the phone dialer
D800: 3845#*800#
D801: 3845#*801#
VS980: 3845#*980#
LS980: 3845#*980#
D802: 3845#*802#
D805: 3845#*805#
(Other models just type model number between * and #)
Now you will see a hidden menu, follow the route: LTE-Only , Modem Settings , RAT Selection
Press LTE only, and restart your phone.
Then enter the hidden menu again, go to the same route, press: GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto.
Thats all, you are done!
Don't forget to hit the thanks button on the left if this works for you.
This didn't work for me on my TMobile G2 running CM 11 nightly 6/22. It says "USSD code running" and then "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".

Ok try this:
Type on the dialer:
*#*#4636#*#*
Then tap in "Phone Information" (first option)
Scroll down to: Set preferred network type
Select: LTE/GSM/WCDMA
That's it man!
By the way, some carriers around the world use a SIM Card, for using LTE you have to update to a LTE SIM card, if you haven't done this contact your carrier and change your SIM card, it should be free.
Other carriers need to have your phone's IMEI and authorize it to give you access to a LTE network, contact your carrier if this is your case.
I hope I'm helping you my friend!

Deleting the file LTEconfig.apk works too on Optimus G3 ROM. I'm not sure of this in another ROM but anyone can copy the file in another location and back it up later.
The file is located in the folder: / System /app
Just delete the file and restart your phone. This should work too.

Delete the file, don't worry. APN will be reconfigured automatically when you restart your phone (or radio), or if you search manually for a cellular network.

Try deleting the file LTEconfig as previously mentioned. This also works in Cloudyfa's customs roms.
To delete the file you need root permission so use a more advanced file explorer than the included, ES File explorer is good enough.

[Q] remove second signal icon on mtk6592

hi there,
i am new in cooking roms and i have a problem with the second gsm icon. i have a doogee dagger dg550 mtk6592 dual sim handy and i want to remove the second item if there is no second sim card inserted. i found a lot guides but no one fits for my problem. so i found another rom in which the icon is disabled (Lakandroid). i copied the SystemUI.apk out there and pasted it in my rom. this removed the icon but parts of the statusbar changed to yellow...
i didnt know where the the difference between the two versions is. there exactly for the same device (display is in xhdmi-format). can soneone help me please to find the error? i added the two SystemUI.apk's to the thread. SystemUIdani is my file and SystemUIlankan is the file from the other rom without the icon.
thanks

There is temp root via Kingroot for the Verizon model, but /system remains read-only and you can't flash a custom recovery.

The Verizon will indeed work on AT&T, but it's lacking AT&T's main LTE Band 17. Has 2G EDGE on 850MHz & 1900MHz, 3G HSPA+ on 850MHz & 1900MHz, and LTE on bands 2 and 4.

Did you follow the linked guide to enable GSM?
You'll get a "Not A Verizon SIM" message every time you reboot. It's part of the Verizon ROM.
To disable it, disable com.motorola.setupwizard.
If you also disable vzwAPNpermissions.apk and vzwAPNservice.apk, you'll only have to do the linked instructions once, instead of each time you swap SIMs.

Going by what was said in this post, the debloater package that is floating around XDA Dev: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64058197&postcount=739
I'm assuming they're referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Can probably do it manually via ADB but I don't know what the package names for vzwAPNpermissions.apk and vzwAPNservice.apk are.
The command to use is probably along the lines of:
adb shell pm disable com.package.name.com

Do you mean Debloater won't disable these apps ? Or that it still won't help the SIM swap without going back to adb ?

I just tested this, and this SIM swap worked without adb !!! Awesome !!! It's not that cumbersome either, just follow these simple steps.
Now, is it really necessary to turn on the radio in Network app first ? Also, could I just turn off Airplane mode, and then use Network app to change the network type ? Or will it run something that would screw up things such that I have to use adb ?

only 4G/LTE only

How to active only 4G/LTE only on honor 8x? I used database editor but not found that option for 4g
Try code *#*#6130#*#* in Call. For me it not work, but I have Honor 8X Max, not Honor 8X.
Honor 8X 4G only network
Download "setting database editor" from playstore.open app search down file "hw_networkmode _preference" "9,3,2,1".tap edit to "9,3,2,1,11".
Note:just add ( ,11 ) only.
Close apps and restart phone.open setting~wireless&network ~mobile network~preferred network mode you can see Only 4G/only LTE. available on sim 1 and sim 2.
I opened app Setting Database Editor and there no item 'hw_networkmode _preference'.

try scroll down slowly to search in app you can see that.my device is Honor 8X.
Certainly there is no element 'hw_networkmode_preference' in app. But exist element 'network_mode_4G_pre=-1'. Maybe I need to edit it...?
I added line:
Code:
"hw_networkmode_preference" "9,3,2,1,11"
Then I restarted phone and still no added option 'Only 4G'.

You dont need root for that.
For now I see this lines:
Code:
"hw_networkmode_preference" "9,3,2,1,11"
"hw_add_4g_only" "260"
"network_mode_4G_pre" "-1"
"hw_global_networkmode_settings_enable" "1"
I don't know why, but I can't get option 'Only LTE'.
Honor 5a network setting

Same here.
On Nova 2s.
There's no element of such, "hw_networkmode_preference" .....
For all of you who want this I think there is another way Go to playstore and download emui tweaker app and install its addon if you dont have root in settings there is option to enable 4g only .
After enabling it reboot your device. you will be having 4g only option.
Installed "Tweaker for Huawei"... Show 3G when the Wi-Fi is On. When I turn the Wi-Fi Off the Data switches to Edge.

Set 3g only mode and check again.
Whether 3g is available or not after WiFi is disconnected.
