[Mod] Remove E911 Icon With No Gaps - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just as the title suggests this removes the e911 location icon from the status bar and doesn't leave any gaps. Wasn't gonna make a separate thread but it appears that quite a few people are asking questions regarding it in the other thread. For those curious how I did it all I did was grab the LocationController.smali file from the AT&T S4 and put it in are SystemUI and compiled.

If you are on an odex build then you need to rename the SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.back before flashing.
For those that want the white battery and data indicators just flash this (works for odex and deodexed). http://goo.gl/HHQHt

Any shot of an ODEX version?

You could try something like this to odex it yourself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879128

Since you only changed the smali, we should only need the .odex portion once that is done, correct?

---

I would love an odexed version of this as well. I did try to do it myself but failed.

---

Just flash a deodexed ROM. I won't mess with odex.

This version works fine on odexed roms. Your entire System doesn't have to be one way or the other, as long as you first remove the original odex file. I installed it this way and it works fine.
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk.backup
mv SystemUI.odex SystemUI.odex.backup
exit
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb reboot

I figured it would work, I can update the zip to delete the .odex when I get a minute so that way you don't have to do it manually.

One problem with this ... If you try to push in regular mode it says access restricted. If you try to push in Shell SU it says device not found. Thoughts?

---

dumb question, just rooted fully stock rom is deodexed right?

Reboot into recovery and do it, worked great for me.

Stock ROM (as in, from the factory) is odexed. So, this mod won't work without following the instructions a couple posts back.

---

you could use a file manager that has root like ES to delete the .odex file too.

I just tried it on a rooted stock machine. All I had to do was delete SystemUI.odex like the OP says and - VOILA!!!
Thank You for making this mod - that icon was driving me nuts!

How do I remove this file? I'm having a bit of trouble. I found the file with ES File Explorer, but I can't rename or delete. I also don't see any setting to change read/write properties. Any guide for a noob like me?

Go into ES settings and enable root (dont use the app so dont remember how exactly). You might run into issues though as I think ES has some conflicts with the stock kernel.

How do I exactly rename the file? Where is it located?

You have to use a file explorer with root access, then go to /system/app, find SystemUI.odex and rename it to SystemUI.odex.back

Worked like a charm Thanks!

Do I need a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) to apply this mod? Or do I just need to be rooted and follow the additional odex instruction in the OP?
Thanks!

Could we manually replace the file using Root Explorer then reboot? Won't that do the same thing?
