Hello! I turn the NFC on all the time (thanks to the SBH-50 headset) so the NFC icon on status bar really bug me out It takes up the space for other notification's icon. So I want to ask is there any mods or anything to disable this on 4.4.4?
You need to root, but 4.4.4 can't be rooted directly so you first have to downgrade to 4.4.2 and start from there. Now that you have root you may modify the system. Some firmwares have the NFC icon enabled and some don't. If you don't like the icon you'll need to modify the build.prop.
Find: ro.nfc.icon.enable=true
true makes the icon visible
false makes it disappear
A Reboot is necessary to make for the changes to take effect.
I'm running stock 4.4.4 and have rooted already, but the ro.nfc.icon.enable is false. I've attached a screenshot. Oh and my build number is 23.0.1.A.0.167 if that helps
I just did it.. works fine..
Used this app to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
Because once I edited the build.prop in a text editor on the phone and it resulted in bootloop

I do it always with root explorer and with succes always ^^

It doesn't work
In the buildprop editor, I tried set that property to true (since the default is false), reboot, and the icon is still there. Change back to false, the icon is there too
Maybe somehow the unbranded UK firmware doesn't load this property from build.prop

On your dialer type in *#*#4636#*#* then select phone info and about two thirds of the way down that screen should be a drop down menu for network mode.

I tried but i cant see theoption
I am not on stock but assumed it would be the same. The build prop with .bak is a backup. After making changes with root explorer did you reboot? I would try changing build the build prop again, select save and exit, reboot, then try dialer code.
Edit... After reboot it may show up in settings without needing to use dialer. I believe it did on ICS anyways.

Sorry it didn't work. If I can come up which anything else I will post it here.
So yeah i know it looks like the everyday thread about removing your softkeys but it is not.
I tried several apps and it's not working; i tried build.prop edit and it's not working and went to edit framework-res.apk and surprise in res/values/bools.xml the shownavigationbar option is in false by default.
So anyone can help me out to figure out hot to hide them??

I'm posting this here because I'm not allowed to post in the Development section as a response yet ...
Hi Everyone. I 1st wanted to thank Surge1223 for his tether unlock mod, works great.
At the end of the instructions, he mentions the toggles:
" I see people complain about not having the Wifi or WifiHotspot toggles working depending on the rom they are on. The solution doesn't require SQLite Editor. You can solve this problem by appending the below to your /system/csc/feature.xml under <!-- Settings --> header by changing system to r/w while editing then edit the feature.xml file under /system/csc, make sure its permissions are rw-r--r--. Following your next reboot/hot reboot/restarted systemui, pull down the toggle bar, click the settings button and it should allow you to choose to add any that weren't available previously. This worked on 4.2.2 Touchwiz roms, but if you are on 4.3 and already have the toggles then ignore this.
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_DefQuickPanelOrder>Wifi;Bluetooth;Location;AirplaneMode;WiFiHotspot;SmartStay;AutoRotate;MobileData;SilentMode;PowerSaving;MultiWindow;AirGesture;AllShareCast;SBeam;Nfc;AirView;Sync;SmartScroll;DrivingMode;DormantMode;BlockMode</CscFeature_Setting_DefQuickPanelOrder> "
I'm a little confused about this, I'm on 4.3 (MJ7), but I don't have a wifi hotspot toggle. I wasn't sure about appending the feature.xml, because some of those in that line have been renamed on 4.3. Also, I have some that aren't in there and some are mentioned I don't have.
Anyone on MJ7 do this part? Would it remove any toggles I have currently?
Thanks!!
No one tried this?
I deleted that part of the post so i can update it with the names of the new toggles. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention that the names were changed.

On 4.3 MJ7 rooted. I tried editing the "features.xml" and it didn't change the toggles. Still have the same toggles as before appending the script.
My question is simple. I am trying to use Tmobile HSPA+ indicator network for Galaxy S4/S5, which is a 4G icon, on another Carrier Galaxy S5, in my case Sprint, which has a 3G icon for HSPA+.
My first thought was to change the ro.product.name and ro.product.device properties from the build.prop file to kltetmo, which is the value that tmobile galaxy s5 has, and this worked as I was getting the TMobile 4g icon, but a popup message saying "unfortunately itson has stopped" showed up every second.
I got that idea from this post
I have also have been reading this and this but they are trying to change the whole status bar.
Is there a way to do this? Can I just change a file name and make this work? What can I do to accomplish this.
thanks.

Should be just a PNG or qmg file name exchange.

Ok. Attached is the SystemUI.apk. Maybe somebody can lead me in the right direction. Thanks Tulsadiver for the suggestion.
What does your emblem say? 3G+?
Try replacing your systemui with this one and see if anything changed. Backup your system first.

Good news, I was able to do this .
Tulsadiver, thanks for the help. My system says 3G when is connected to HSPA+. I was able to change the icon by simply renaming and changing a couple files. I had to try and guess as I couldn't find a viewer for qmg files but I was finally able to acomplish what I wanted. I will post the step by step a bit later. I am going to do the same thing for my S4 L720T as well since it has the same indicator bar.
I used the file stat_sys_data_connected_4g_tmo.qmg and gave it the name of all the follwing files in order to get this "working"
-SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\stat_sys_data_activity_spr_[nn].qmg (nn from 01-12 )
-SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\stat_sys_data_activity_spr_idle.qmg
-SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\stat_sys_data_connected_3g_spr.qmg
Thanks again
Well, I am back because I am now experimenting some difficulties. I was able to do what I have posted on the OP on one phone. However, when I tried to replicate the same fix for another GAlaxy s5 with the same model and same build number as the one I fixed, sytemUI.apk is not rendering. It looks like when I change the file name inside the SystemUl.apk the signature of the apk changes and the system picks that. So when I restart the system, I get no status bar.
Is there any way I could fix go around this issue?
Well, I have investigated a bit more came across this post where it give you an idea on how to decomplile, edit and re-compile systemui.apk using a tool called Apktool. However, it looks like this is not working for my galaxy s5.
And the problem seems to be related to the signature of the file. As a matter of fact, I tried decompiling and re-compiling the systemui.apk without changes and the signature was different therefore my phone wasn't picking it up. So I am either doing something wrong or this apktool is not working for the galaxy s5.
Another weird things is, why in the world my first phone I just went into the SystemUI.apk file with 7zip and made all my changes and the apk worked just fine without compiling or decompiling. They are exactly the same phone model with the same software version, both rooted. This was really weird.

Did you replace the meta-inf and android manifest with the original ones after recompiling?
yes, I did
I changed the quick setting toggles and status bar WiFi and data icons by exchanging them in root explorer.
I did just that on the first phone that I had and It worked, but on the second phone, I tried the same think, (Change the icon) and it doesn't work no matter what I do.
I was just reading about odexed and deodexed apps and I see that for the systemUI.apk there is a sytemUI.odex. Could that be the reason why my modified apk is not working? Do I need a Deodexed Rom in order to accomplish this?

Could be though I was able to change toggles on a odexed ROM. My understanding is that a ROM must be deodexed before you can properly decompile and edit it. I don't know if this root explorer would make a difference but it is the only one I've used for many years. I hardly use a PC anymore. You might give it a try. Go into the configuration and change root access to super user level. It is a duel pane window. They are duplicates of one another. Long press any apk and there is an option of opening the file as a zip.

Well, that didn't work. I even installed a de-odexed rom and its doing the same thing, it's not recognizing the SystemUI.apk as a valid apk most likely because of its signature. Even if I move the file outside /system rename it and move it back, the app doesn't work.
I am clueless here.
This is a quick guide to enable navigation bar on any android device. So first of all I tell you that you require root access for enabling navigation bar. If u don't know how to do that so, install Kingroot and root your phone with it.
So my guide starts now:
1. Install Root Browser from Google Play Store.
2. Open Root Browser and grant root access.
3. Navigate to /system/build.prop.
4. Open build.prop using Text Editor.
5. In the end, just add this line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
That's it! Do a full reboot and enjoy

Do you think will work if I install xposed? I mean a module that "force" a navbar.

Nah , I actually tried that . only apps can give us a working nav bar with unsopported systemUI, why don't you try to install a rom, or decompile the systemUI and add nav bar into it
Is there an adb trick for this to work on non rooted phones
Great.. Working... Can we change the icon or the color?

Use some tweaks apps like xposed or decompile the systemui of your rom and change the icon file and recompile it

Hey bro, my device is J7 pro and it's unrooted. Can i enable the navigation bar in it by using any adb command?!
thanks man works like a charm on Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 kitkat firmware
Thanks worked as well with LOS14.1 without default options to toggle the nav bar!
