[Mod] Remove NFC Icon from Statusbar (Without XML edit) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

If you find this icon as ugly as I do you probably researched and figured out that you could remove this by changing the OTHERS.XML in /system/csc/
If you have no problem editing the XML that is probably the easiest solution, however if you are like me and need to have a solution that works as a flashable zip that is indepenedent of the random carrier settings in others.xml this solution might help you.
This is the NFC apk from LL1 samsung release and should in theory be backwards and forwards compatible.
Tested on LL1 / TWRP.
If this works for you please give me thanks / rate the thread. If it doesn't let me know so i can figure out a more universal solution.

Awesome! :highfive:
I kept NFC disabled only because of the uglyness of the icon.
Oops ... this thread was about flashable Zip solution.
I went the others.xml way.

Gingerbread: Change Quick Settings Menu

Hey folks,
i've found many people in the web with the same question but nobody had an answer to it yet:
i'm on arhd 5.1.4 with a mod that gave me additional quick settings in the notification bar. i would like to remove some of them because i won't use them..
is there a way to do this? i mean, the dev added some settings, it can't be that hard to remove them again...
maybe there is a way to modify the installation-zip-file before flashing the mod?
thanks guys!
You would have to patch the SystemUI.apk (edit some smali files).
Try asking capychimp, he managed to add settings so I'm pretty sure he can tell you how to remove them.
thanks! will try it and report when i got a solution!
fyi
bad news. no way to do this for non-developers...
thx for that info
I searched exactly for the same "problem"

XML FILES

Probably might be better off asking in theme & apps section but oh well. Anyone know the name of the XML file or files you have to edit to change the date and where in says no notifications or ongoing in the status bar and where they would b located?
Okay I found the files but idk which lknes to edit. Help?
Finally figured it out. Guess a lil quick to ask sorry

[Q] Remove NFC icon

Is there a way to remove the NFC icon and not just make it invisible? I want to keep it always on but not have the icon show. I would also like to do this with with the alarm. I saw someone say you can change the build prop on another phone, but I can't find the entry in my build prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752958&page=2)
ANSWER: This can be edited in the feature.xml file (located in "/system/csc/feature.xml") the Statusbaricontype should be changed from ATT to none
Thanks!,
Michael
I was able to change the StatusBarIconType setting in my feature.xml file to "none", which successfully removed the icon after a reboot.
