Hello,
i've heard on few forums that when we want to remove my carrier we have to modify SystemUI.apk, but i haven't found anyone who can explain me how to do that, so i'm here to ask
I have a samsung galaxy S5 active, european version (SM-G870F)
My SystemUI.apk : https://www.dropbox.com/s/0tci7jgtjsswz6m/SystemUI1.apk?dl=0
Thank you a lot

It seems the normal way to rid yourself of the carrier text is via an Xposed Framework module, which you will have to check to see if Xposed can run on your device.
If you are feeling brave then this seems to be the only possible way to do it without Xposed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773879
It involves decompiling the SystemUI.apk and replacing some values in /res/layout/status_bar.xml with a zero, then recompiling and replacing the original.
You need to weigh up the risks and decide if you feel it is worth it. I'd love to remove it from one of my devices but I'm not that bothered to take the risk for something like this.
*I'll be very interested (and pleased) if anyone can find a simpler way to achieve this, especially one where we just edit something in build.prop, local.prop or similar...

Thank you for your quick answer, I already have xposed on my device, so what is the module please

So i've modified my SystemUI.apk, not as said in the HOW-TO that lin-ux gave me, but i've seen 3 lines with "carrier" in it, so i've just remove this lines (i know i'm crazy to do that)
Anyway, that works after a reboot, and i didn't see any problem yet
Just one little question ... How do we change the status of the thread to "solved" ?
Ps : sorry for my terrible english :S

to decompile and recompile apk, i used this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMccWbMjBLs
i hope that will help someone
Thanks for posting how you did it
Problem Solved..!!
A new member named Ghoulie posted a link to a small app called "Carrier Changer" that allows for the carrier label to be easily changed.
It looks like it only works on some phones and unfortunately I don't have an SGS5A to test it so I can't say if it'll work for you guys, but luckily it did the job perfectly on my phones.
I ended up using a single space instead of a character, looks great with the whole left side of the status bar clean and clear...
Here is a direct download link to the latest version of Carrier_Changer_1.16.9.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1711871&d=1360266843
Thanks is due to the guy who made the app back in 2011 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901865 and to XDA for hosting the thread which discussed it until around 2013, but it seems it was forgotten after that, and it has not been worked on since then.

***Please Read***First things first, this is not a thread for people to ask, "Can you do this for me?"
This is a guide to help others do this for themselves. Please ask questions if you need help, but try to find the answer yourself first by searching. Google is your friend.
This guide assumes that you know how to decompile and compile already.
There is lots of information out there on how to decompile and compile files. If you're having trouble with ICS files, you probably need to update your aapt. I've added a zip of apktool.bat, apktool.jar, and aapt.exe that is most current and working with ICS. If you don't know the prerequisites for installing and using apktool, search and read. The information is all readily available.
***Happy modding***
How to remove the Carrier Label from the status bar
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. Browse to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/phone
3. Open CarrierLabel.smali
(I use Notepad++ as many people do. For people trying this for the first time, do not use Notepad. Notepad++ is free.)
4. Search for this line:
Code:
.method updateNetworkName(ZLjava/lang/String;ZLjava/lang/String;)V
5. Scroll down to:
Code:
:cond_0
if-eqz p1, :cond_2
if-eqz p2, :cond_2
if-eqz v0, :cond_1
6. Change to this:
Code:
:cond_0
if-eqz p1, :[COLOR="red"]cond_3[/COLOR]
if-eqz p2, :[COLOR="red"]cond_3[/COLOR]
if-eqz v0, :[COLOR="red"]cond_3[/COLOR]
7. Recompile SystemUI.apk
8. If you're using apktool, open the SystemUI.apk in the /dist folder with 7zip
(If you don't have 7zip, you should. Download it here.)
9. Also open the original SystemUI.apk with 7zip.
10. Move the entire META-INF folder and also AndroidManifest.xml from the original SystemUI.apk to the modded SystemUI.apk.
11. Either manually push the modded SystemUI.apk to the system/app folder on your phone OR add it to a flashable zip with a proper update-binary for the Note and an updater-script that will copy the SystemUI.apk to the proper location. (Flashable zips are not the focus of this post, so if you don't know how to use or make them, I suggest you search and read again.)
12. Restart your phone and enjoy that empty space on the left side of your status bar.
This also works for official ICS build UCLF6.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. About to try now.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but this wasn't very helpful....

SystemUI.apk is located in /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Sorry you felt my post was condescending because I did not intend it to be that way, but remember, written text has no tone except the tone you project onto it.
Incidentally, it appears that you did exactly what I hoped people would do. You took the information I provided and figured out how to do it yourself.
Good luck with future modding.

Not anywhere near as bad as yours.
All he's doing it asking people to think, instead of ask someone else to do that for them. I thought it was a very well done, helpful guide. He makes it obvious noobs should NOT attempt, but gives the tools and suggests reading a bit first.
Too many on this and other forums think that the forum is a place to go and get someone else to "do it for me". NO! They are places to share information and help people trying to learn new things, not people who constantly need their hand held.
This isn't kindergarten, and if that's where you belong you shouldn't be modding anyway.

I suppose I look at things differently. Like I said, I didn't have a problem with the guide, it was clear enough to me, but I think back to when it wouldn't have been clear and although some effort was obviously put into this, he ruined it with his "deal with it" attitude. Maybe I just read into it a bit too much, but when I offer my assistance in any way, I try to be as gracious as possible. That's not hand holding, that's just courtesy.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
can you explain me how to remove it from GB 2.3.4 ? and brightness control from the status bar too ? here is my SystemUI (for GB-not for ICS)
Thanks
First time I actually succesfully modded an apk file . Thanks for the guide.
I'm on straight talk also and stock ICS not deodexed.
I got the files from a stock deodexed rom and follow the guide to do the editing and use root explorer to copy the modified SystemUI.apk.
I removed the original SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex file.
Was hoping I didn't brick my phone on selecting Restart .
Working great with no more HOME showing on notification bar.
I'm Curious where the lockscreen carrier label is stored now
Thanks again for the guide.
PS. also restoring the brightness slider from the notification bar.

Glad it worked for you.
I think the lockscreen carrier label is in framework-res.apk, but I'm not positive. That may actually be as easy as changing the right XML file and not have to mess with smali. I haven't looked into it myself, though.
The brightness slider will be more difficult since it has been deactivated somehow in the official release and I wouldn't even know where to begin to find it again. I installed Invisibright Pro as an alternative solution.
Myself, I've been working on trying to put the sound toggle back into the quickpanel, but Samsung changed the quickpanel implementation in the last ICS leak and in the official leak and I've had no luck with it.

Don't follow it step to step! Im just showing you the correct way.. you should have basic knowledge to edit the .apk
First Decompile SecWallaperChooser.apk
There are 2 folders that contain wallpapers..
1) drawable-hdpi
2) drawable-xhdpi
1) drawable-hdpi
All wallpapers in drawable-hdpi are named as wallpaper_01, wallpaper_02, wallpaper_03 and keeps on going... and their preview (thumbnail) are named as wallpaper_01_small, wallpaper_02_small, wallpaper_03_small.....
Wallpaper resolution in drawable-hdpi: 960x960
Thumbnail resolution in drawable-hdpi: 160x142
so just name your wallpapers as above.. and also make a smaller version of them (Thumbnail) of resolution stated above.
Eg: create a wallpaper of resolution 960x960 and name it wallpaper_01. Also create a smaller version of that wallpaper of resolution 160x142 and name it wallpaper_01_small
2) drawable-xhdpi
All wallpapers in drawable-xhdpi are named as hd_01, hd_02, hd_03 and keeps on going... and their preview (thumbnail) are named as hd_01_small, hd_02_small, hd_03_small.....
Wallpaper resolution in drawable-xhdpi: 1280x1280
Thumbnail resolution in drawable-xhdpi: 213x189
after that you have to edit 3 files
1) \res\values-hdpi\arrays.xml
2) \res\values-xhdpi\arrays.xml
3) \res\values\public.xml
first open \res\values-hdpi\arrays.xml it will say something like.....
wallpaper_01
wallpaper_02
wallpaper_03
wallpaper_04
wallpaper_05
add the new names in it (06, 07, 08 like that..)
Now open \res\values-xhdpi\arrays.xml
it will say something like....
hd_01
hd_02
hd_03
hd_04
hd_05
add the new names in it (06, 07, 08 like that..)
Finally open \res\values\public.xml
you will have to add all values here (Wallpaper_xx and hd_xx) and their thumbnail (wallpaper_xx_small and hd_xx_small)
that's pretty self explanatory
just keep on adding your entries
Eg:
edit everything and then recompile!
thank you very much

Actually, that is defining the id.
Technically you could then add:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="hd_06" id="0x7f020022" />
However, you'll probably find later in public.xml that....
Code:
id="0x7f020022"
...is already in use. So you need to find the next free (or unused) id

Actually I am really trying to create a rom.
But it's really hard na ?
Lots of works to do.
I had successfully created a simple custom rom with little mods and all...
I am adding more mods and tweaks...
One of the reason for adding pics to stock wallpaper is that
1. I hated the stock wallpapers I wanted to delete them
2. I don't want to see my wallpapers in my gallery. I never opens them in gallery and looks at their beauty. It always irritates me to see them there.
3. There is always chance that someone or me might delete them accidently. If that happens then I will have to search all over the Internet to find them. It is always a pain in the Ass
I could go on but I think I proved my point

This should make it 2 lines. This is not a flashable zip, but if you want I can make you a flashable - I assume your systemui is at /system/app/?
What was changed?
In \res\layout\status_bar_expanded_header.xml I removed android:singleLine="true" from the com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView view, which should allow for 2 lines when needed.

This should make it 2 lines. This is not a flashable zip, but if you want I can make you a flashable - I assume your systemui is at /system/app/?

Hi homeslice976, thanks for your help. I have push your systemui into my system app, but still the same, no change. Notification date still in one line.

sorry to hear that... you could try wiping cache and dalvik and see if it makes a difference, but without the singleline in there it should go to 2 lines when necessary. That's how it should work anyway. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Hello guys this is my first thread so be nice ok!
well,now i'm gonna tell you how to enabling qslide ( floating launcher ) feature on LG Optimus L7 II becuz on default is hidden by LG
1.your phone must be rooted ( no **** )
2.you've Basically know how to compile & decompile
3.notepad++
4.Brainware :silly:
ok then, lets do this
- decompile your LGSystemUI.apk
- open res/values/bools.xml with notepad++
- change the value of:
HTML:
<bool name="config_systemui_feature_floating_launcher">false</bool>
from "false" to "true"
HTML:
<bool name="config_systemui_feature_floating_launcher">true</bool>
-save and exit
-recompile and push back to system/app
-reboot
Why did they add floating launcher to the systemui and hide it?
Thanks, I will try this!

Most probably, because by default, LG used the same systemui, framework, launcher, and so on, both on L7 II and L9 II. Since they wanted L9 II to be a "more premium" device, they've hidden/deleted some software features in L7 II, making L9 II looking much more up-to-date and advanced on software side.
Nice work bro. :good:
Any chance to upload your ios looks alike statusbar? I love it.

for moving signal icon to the left find this code:
HTML:
<include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="@layout/signal_cluster_view" />
cut & paste to below this code:
HTML:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notification_icon_area" android:tag="NO_R2L" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">

You must decompile apk, not just unzip... Means, you must have properly installed java, tool for compile/decompile etc.
My way to do this job is quite compilcated to explain in this post, but if noone do it, if i have time, i make tutorial.
If someone have easyer way to decompile/compile apks for LG, please share.

My LGSystemUI.apk is here: https://yadi.sk/d/da7a4PtSUSLec
But, i made it (decompile/change value in bools.xml/recompile) ONLY FOR DEODEXED rom, AND your device must be rooted, and with hacked bootloader (to prevent security error?).

Currently overlays for navbar height don't work, so this is the only way to kill the navbar for now.
first thing, BE SURE YOU HAVE PIE CONTROL, OR WHATEVER YOU'RE REPLACING THE NAVBAR WITH INSTALLED AND CONFIGURED BEFORE DOING THIS, OR YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH NO BACK OR HOME BUTTON.
also when modifying themes, please don't redistribute them without first getting permission from the author, this info is provided for personal use only.
Open the apk of the theme you want to modify with APK Editor, choose to open it as file replacement.
find com.***.common.apk (*** varies per theme) in the assets folder and extract it by tapping the disk icon next to it
back out of the theme apk, and go find the file you just extracted, and open it, this time as full edit (resource re-build)
click the files tab
under assets > values open public.xml and add the following above the last line:
Code:
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_height" id="0x7f060000" />
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_height_landscape" id="0x7f060001" />
<public type="dimen" name="navigation_bar_width" id="0x7f060002" />
(depending on how much is already in the file, you may need to change the 0x7f6000... values to something thats not already used. just take a look at the other stuff in there and take note how those are numbered)
click save, then go to dimens.xml and add this
(if dimens.xml doesn't exist you'll need to create it and save it on your sd card with the following in it, then add it i the values folder with apk editor by clicking the + at the bottom)
(omit lines 1, 2, and 6 if adding to an existing file, just be sure to insert above the last line so </resources> is at the end)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">0.0dip</dimen>
</resources>
click save, then click build, if there are no errors, it will build, and save as gen_signed.apk. rename your original common.apk to something else, then rename the new file exactly the way the original was named.
now go back into your theme apk, again as file replacement, and find common.apk, this time clicking the edit button by it, and selecting your newly created one.
click save, and it will build a new theme apk. close out apk editor, then go find that file, and move it to /sdcard or wherever you want and rename it to something. then install. the modified theme will then show up in theme center.
from there just apply the theme in trial mode, then kill the theme service using whatever method you prefer, to make it stick.
thank you for clarification, I just assume it's from lock.apk coz you know nav icons are from system ui. Will add this to my OP. ?
Great info, thank you. I've been trying to figure this out lately to get a smaller 30pt Navbar.
Question: I have a theme I paid for from the Samsung theme store, but for the life of me, cannot find it with apkeditor or apkextractor. Where can I find the theme's apk so I can make this tweak? I managed to do it with a different theme from an apk I found through Google, but want to apply the smaller Navbar to the theme from the store.
Cheers

Same here, looking for the theme named Weyo.
Is there any way to get a 0pt nav bar without applying a theme? I saw that there's a mod for s8 just installing a apk, but doesn't seems to work on note 8
Thanks.
