Is there anyway to remove the NFC icon from the notifications bar on an unrooted device? It seems completely pointless to me
Anything that involves modifying the system requires a rooted device.

Follow-up question - think there'll be an easy way to root the compact any time soon? ie via an app/usb automatic process (well the only part I want to avoid to erasing/restoring my phone tbh)

It's anyone's guess tbh, which is why it's best to unlock your BL if you can then it is simple as you just need to flash a zip.

NFC icon is no longer present in KitKat - so upgrade to solve your problem.

Because is just disabled. BTW I like when NFC is on to have the icon up, so I just edited via build.prop the line ro.nfc.icon.enable=false to ro.nfc.icon.enable=true
..and this is not possible on not Rooted devices.

You have to be Rooted to get rid of it.
How do you modify nfcnci to work screen on,locked? Is it ok to swap apks with nfc on, or switch it off before replace?
Although APK would be nice, I want to learn how to do it. Cannot find anything using search.
Thanks in advance
Download the nfc lockscreenoff enabler module from xposed.i think that will help you.
Press thanks if i helped
Sent from my C2004 using XDA Free mobile app
Has this been tried, after looking in my own phone and in FTF dumps, I see no NFCnci.apk/ NFCnci.odex
Will the XPosed thing work without this or not.? will try. Just not yet. Need to flash 4.1.2 as cannot root 4.3 with locked boot
@theperson333, you can update to 4.3 maintaining root access with locked bootloader using Nicki Root, but you must already be on 4.1.2/4.2.2 before using it, otherwise you'll need to downgrade...

I have downgraded to 4.1( My battery is happy!). the xposed method works! I also have tasker using secure settings so that when I'm connected to my wifi, it changes to swipe lockscreen. Also, It switches off wifi when I leave the cell area around my house. This way, setting a router to same name is not enough to unlock the device.
@mbc07 Thaks for the 4.3 rooting guide, but I mainly wanted root to do TA backup. Along side that, battery seems to be better for me on 4.1 and the google now 'swipe the home key up' doesn't work for me on 4.3, so I'm happy on 4.1 Thanks anyhow.
Hi,
I installed the latest firmware, 29-SEP of 10l-EUR-XX version,
And I can't see "LTE" in the menu.
Why?
Regards.
+1
Please solve this issue without root.
What you mean orenamit?
Regards.

I assume he means deleting LteConfigs files requires root
Without root, there is a solution to enable LTE, but it isn't permanent.
Detailed Guide
If you reboot, or switch to 2G, you will lose LTE and have to repeat the process.
The guide also has steps on making this process permanent, but you must have root for that portion.
I found the A1's camera pretty good sometimes, but the stock camera is quite useless, and no other 3rd party app seemed to be able to make good use of the camera.
Is there any way to get a good camera app, perhaps the Google camera, or the Samsung note 8 camera app?
U can't, u have to edit the build prop to enable camera HAL either it would not work.

In that case, how would you suggest on improving the camera? The camera hardware is itself quite capable, but the software is not upto the mark.

The answer is root lol, why u don't want to root it?
There is actually no root required for editing build.prop. You unlock the bootloader, then you can boot (not flash) the TWRP and mount system with W permissions. Pull the build.prop file, edit it and push it back to its place. Then you need to set the permissions of the file through the shell. As the last thing you can relock the bootloader and have the edited build.prop file without having the root.
Google it and you will find the guide.
I tested it myself. It works.

Safer option is to use a Magisk module which does exactly the thing but without having to add the lines into build.prop manually and setting the permissions etc

What about OTA after that?

Does not work. After downloading the proposed update I get installation error at the very beginning. Maybe after restoring the build.prop file the same way as I modified it, it might work.
Once you mount the system as read/write, you can't apply OTA. This is why it's better to use Magisk instead of altering system files directly.

Hey there!
I just joined XDA for the sole purpose of finding this tutorial that I have seen floating around the web lately. But unfortunately, every website has a different version of how exactly this should be done. Do you know where I can find the exact steps to take in order to edit the build.prop without having to root my phone and without losing the OTA updates?
Cheers!

If u edit build.prop means u will break OTA. 100%
just root guys using magisk safetynet pass through.
under magisk hide , chose the apps if you face issue against root, it will open

Hi,
Rajeev is right. You can edit the build.prop this way. And it is going to work. But you are gonna loose OTA, because you need to mount system with write privileges through TWRP in order to modify system file.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, root, make some minor modifications (activation of camera api, copying fm radio apk to system folder, etc), unroot, and finally relock (flashing stock boot.img before, of course) ?
I want to have it unrooted because of bank payments, banks apps and streaming TV apps, but I would like to have proper camera and fm radio... Is it possible??
no

How about rooting the phone with Magisk and use Magisk Hide to hide root from those apps?
Htf do you think miui camera is useless. I am a photographer. And find it quit usefull and makes full use dual lens. Have you even tried HHT? Never compare two different apps. HDR+ is google's algorithm. You won't get in miui camera. HHT is miui's thing. You won't get in Gcam. Anyways HDR+ is not mandatory, you can get it from any post processing app.

A1 camera is superb in Day light only. It can't beat Google Camera in very low light. Everyone trying Google Camera here for getting Selfie Portrait mods. That not available in A1 camera .. I am not a photographer. But i can tell as a normal user in low light Google Camera perform really better than A1 camera. May be some 3rd party apps can do that but someone loves Google Camera
I need to use an app over GSM data. It works on WiFi but not GSM.
A colleague uses the same app on a different device and this works on GSM.
Is there a way to trace what fails so can try and resolve it.?

Guess you need root for that? I don't use root as have banking and payment apps that don't work with root(or never used to work when rooted).

Try root via magisk, and use the integrated MagiskHide. It works well covering root to my banking apps.
Or if by "works over wifi but fail over mobile" you mean the network connection, I suggest using ssl capture. No root, it just use VPN.
