Remove Unknown Sim Icon when using a non-Verizon sim card - Verizon LG G4

Hey all,
Does anyone know how to remove the Unknown Sim Icon when using a non-verizon sim card?
In the past, i installed the xposed module called flat style bar indicators. However, when I installed xposed, that involved installing FlashFire. I then discover later that my FlashFire completely removed the ability to go into Download mode
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I would love to know as well. Thanks
When you say "in the past" do you mean on this Verizon LG G4? I was wondering if XPOSED works on LG G4. I loved it on my Galaxy S5.
Also what is the download mode that you say you lost?

Yes, installed Xposed on one of my G4's, unfortunately, doing so broke going into download mode which is a major pain in the butt. If you do install Xposed, let us know if you lose download mode...
Thanks

Answer :
Currently, you definitely need xposed to remove the unknown Sim icon. There are two xposed modules that can achieve this tweak :
- Flat Style Bar Indicators
- G4 Tweaksbox
I went with Flat Style since it's free.
Unfortunately, with G4 Tweaksbox, that feature is a paid feature
Again, I wish there was a way without xposed but oh well...

Kill unknown SIM icon
I know so little about Android that I can only ask if such a thing is possible: Can someone create an app to simply update (spoof) the SIM card's SKU_ID to a legal value and thereby suppress the unknown SIM icon? The alternative is to buy a new phone for $150-200. Therefore, I'd gladly pay $5-10 for the app.

I think this problem was fixed in some update, but for me this is not a big problem.
The difference is that my icon is not on the right side - it is on the left.
I can simply slide down the notification bar and swipe the "non-verizon sim" notification to the left side.
Its gone.
This works for me out of the box on Android 6.0 version VS98625A. No need for root or xposed.
You have to do it every time you reboot the phone but its a small price to pay for the phone coming GSM unlocked out of the box.
I am not sure if perhaps this is something that is a problem in the newer versions or the older ones. (Whether Verizon fixed this feature or broke it)
Here is the only link i could find to this firmware.
https://www.fshare.vn/file/SZDKF6CXCO33
Click the white download button, wait 60 seconds, then wait like 3 hours to download. Probably would not hurt for someone to upload this to another mirror, or confirm if this fix remains through later versions.

Looks you can swipe it away in MM now, in LP only rooting and using the methods described above helps.

[Q] Remove Camera from LockScreen

Hi
Just got my G3 after updating from a Nexus 4.
Impressed so far and happily rooted the beast.
It's the lockscreen I am trying to get sorted. IS there any way of removing the swipe to camera option off the lockscreen? Had a bad experience previously and would just like the knock code. (Ideally would also like the emergency call option gone too)
Have searched but couldn't see anything.
Thanks guys

As far as lockscreen shortcuts - Go to Settings/General/Security/Lock Screen/Shortcuts - now tap the one you want to get rid of, then select Delete Shortcut
As far as the emergency call option - after some quick Googling some users are reporting and option to remove it with Gravitybox or G3 Tweakbox through XPosed, but others report it doesn't work

Thanks for the reply.
No shortcuts option come up for me in the lock screen tab. I am fully updated to the latest OS LRX21R and V20h
Never been a fan of Xposed for some reason. May try it and give it a go on the LG
Superb phone though. Pleased with it

[Xposed] [OP2] OnePlus 2 / OxygenOS-specific Xposed modules

Hi all,
Since it didn't seem like anybody had written Xposed modules for some features I wanted, I wrote a couple myself. These are OxygenOS-specific. If you have any other OxygenOS-specific Xposed modules you'd like to see, let me know in this thread. I'm just getting started using Xposed, so I'm learning as I go.
No Quick Pulldown: http://repo.xposed.info/module/io.gavinhungry.xposed.oneplus.noquickpulldown
This disables the "quick pulldown" (which is when you swipe down on the right side of your statusbar, it skips the notifications and takes you straight to quick settings). This module also disables "smart pulldown" (which is when you get the quick pulldown behavior only when you have no notifications). As a side-effect, it also disables "two-finger quick pulldown." Since I don't use that, I don't care, but I could rework it if needed.
Reverse Alert Slider: http://repo.xposed.info/module/io.gavinhungry.xposed.oneplus.reversealertslider
This reverses the direction of the alert slider, so now the bottom position is "No interruptions," and the top position is "All notifications." It also disables the toast notification you see when moving the slider, and it removes the status from below the volume slider, both of which I found annoying (if you want to change the alert slider to control vibratation instead, check out VibrateMode).
No Quick Settings Edit Button: http://repo.xposed.info/module/io.gavinhungry.xposed.oneplus.noqseditbutton
This one is pretty minor, but since I only need to set the ordering of my Quick Settings tiles once, I don't want to see the little edit icon every day in my statusbar. This removes the icon. If you want to reorder your Quick Settings some more, you'll need to disable this module.
Thanks for putting in work?
I cant find the download for apk?
That's what I'm looking for a long time.. Thank you!
Awesome tweak, using both modules

I added RawGit links to the APKs in the OP, for those having trouble finding them.
Thank you so much for the no quick pulldown! It was so frustrating.
some great work, thanks for this, was thinking of a vibrate mode instead of priority for xposed, if there is a solution can you let me know?

Edit: think it would be good if you could select if you want the volume short cuts etc. Would be nice touch
Hey, I shared the link to this thread on OnePlus forums, I hope you don't mind. Just installed the reverse alert slider module, works like it's supposed to, thanks!
I miss Wanam Xposed for Galaxy. Since we don't have custom OOS roms, looking forward for OOS specific mods for OPT. Great stuff!

The biggest reason I disabled that was because I couldn't figure out how to get it stay in sync with the slider - also, I never used it and found it annoying.
Introducing that as an option relies on 2 things - me be able to figure out how to keep it in sync, and me being able to create a UI. I'm not much of an Android developer, I'm afraid. If I can do those, I may also just combine these into a single module, then keep adding options to it.
Great job.
Why don't you add all these options in one app like wanam xposed does to Samsung devices?

Great work. Finally found the exact module which I wanted for the alert slider.

Um, Its been sometime since I've been part of the Rooted Club (Last Phone to be rooted and unlocked was the HTC Droid DNA). I get the "Xposed is not compatible with Android SDK version 22 or your processor architecture (Arm64-v8a)" Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

Anyone have a good working module for expandable volume notification?

Is there a way to edit notification panel?

Is there anything out there that does this? I've looked and haven't seen anything. I'd like to resize them (quick settings and the time) as I think they take up too much room or can I get rid of the quick settings completely?
I am rooted and have xposed. I have Nova prime, but the swipe gestures aren't working (even updated to beta). I even tried unselecting everything and all I'm left with is this bull
Thanks
Since you have Xposed, try G4 Tweaksbox. It'll let you prevent the quick settings and volume panels from showing at first, you'll have to swipe down another time to show them. I was of the same opinion, that it's a little ridiculous for those to take up half the screen, but Tweaksbox works really well for me.

Running
Xposed torch(like being able to activate flashlight by holding volume up button... Must open the app first to set permissions for camera)
Firekitfds (moved status bar clock to center,disabled Low Battery sound, disabled Low Battery camera shutoff, disabled high volume warning, and long press back button to kill foreground app)
You tube ad away
YouTube background playback.
A few things...
I have figured out that firekitfds, gravitybox mm, and xtouchwiz all break my hotspot.
I use my note 4 hot-spot and a range extender for the Wi-Fi in my home (rural area) works great
With this Rom AND any one of the above it breaks my hotspot. Tried disabling in app (above) and re-enabled. Tried changing to 2.4ghz to reset then back to 5ghz.
No luck anywhere.
Think I remember someone talking about the features. Csc file maybe.
Any help with this?
Also tried using gttools to reset and set Max back to 15. (have about a dozen devices) and that's stock Max for 5ghz band.
Good lock/system ui update
Found this useful on the last rom I was running
When you install the apk it updates systemui.
It changes the notification panel to the good lock ui
Pretty cool to play with and pick what you like.
It will also unlock the hot-spot toggle then you can uninstall update to app only. Not the whole app. Then you have stock from Rom with hot-spot toggle.
I have just uploaded these images:

At least two of those Xposed modules you mention creates a bogus features.xml file at /system/csc/features.xml each time you so much as open the module.
When that happens, delete features.xml before you reboot and that should prevent loss of functionality.
I also now use Good Lock and Xposed framework on UN7 ported ROM. It works as well as it did with rooted stock ROMs except the flashlight toggle in pull-downs are broken; leaves the torch on unless disabled with side panel or reboot. You're better off making a gesture or remap for torch; mine is set to toggle torch on any long press of home button greater than 1 second on any screen condition- off, lockscreen or on with vibrate confirmation. I use Physical Button Music Control Xposed module for that.

Got it.
Did some digging and found mention of firekitfds 1.0.2
Works great and didn't break my Hotspot settings/functionality
Will install good lock now and see how that goes. Maybe should have installed that before.
But I did make a new backup with xposed installed so it doesn't take me so long each time. The framework, installer app, won't break Hotspot. Only on running the module and reboot.
Question...
If I deleted that file mentioned above before my reboot will the other changes still take effect? Seems it would be pointless if not?

I was aware that the oldest stable release of Firefds Xposed module didn't break functionality but didn't recall 1.0.2 was also not breaking function. It works because it doesn't create the unneeded features.xml file. So there's no need to check or delete with those module versions; you can open and edit with no worries.
Changes should take place without features.xml because marshmallow doesn't use features.xml but others.xml
It's odd that updates of Firefds Xposed module broke functionality but updates have followed the same unneeded creation of features.xml- I'm not sure if any of the XTouch module versions worked without issue of unneeded features.xml file being created.
With Good Lock, the Firefds and XTouch Xposed modules are equal. But I noticed with stock SystemUI, there are minor differences. XTouch can eliminate the airplane mode pop-up dialogue but cannot remove the battery icon. Firefds Xposed module was just the opposite. (But Good Lock makes the battery icon persistent but lacks the presence of airplane mode dialogue pop-up.)

i was just going to mention only issue after good lock was firekit was unable to change or hide battery.
Should I even try 3minit?
Hotspot
for anyone this could help. This does not break functionality but everytime you go into firekit it will change Max AP connections to whatever it's set to there. But you can still go to settings, hotspot,configure Hotspot, and set number there to fix. Max in fds is 10
Thanks for all the help and input

XTouchWiz does not break hotspot. I find more things work with XTouchWiz on the UN7 ROM vs. Firefds (eg: hide alarm icon works on one but not the other). But I can't modify the battery with both

Since I brought up the flashlight toggle issue, I should clarify again that the flashlight toggle in pull-down screens stems from my use of Good Lock SystemUI screen replacement.
The flashlight toggle issue wasn't caused by the UN7 ROM or the Firefds Kit Xposed module.
You're finding more functionality and less bugs with XTouchWiz over Firefds Kit but my set of features used reflect no difference when using Good Lock with my feature preferences. I did see features.xml being created with XTouchWiz as well but in either case, since I delete the unwanted created features.xml file, I can't say which is better regarding not killing hotspot in Settings. I didn't give it the chance to fail by deleting when created.
Since both modules haven't been updated in a while, my tests were done against latest stable module releases. I'm considering going back to the suggested Firefds Kit 1.0.2 update which has been noted and confirmed not to create features.xml in Note 4 when module is opened. Personally, I think both modules could use an update to stop features.xml creation.
Thanks for your input. With all the features available, user variance is possible.
I'd also like to hear more confirmation input from others on their experience with these Xposed modules and Good Lock.
Regarding Good Lock unlock reboot error in UN7 ROM, since I've switched to that password unlock with Good Lock and experienced one reboot bug and lag on initial unlock error using wrong password, I've since entered wrong password in 2 occasions without experiencing the reboot bug or lag on unlock. Not sure why that happens and if others can expect same flexibility with Good Lock?

I didn't try the mod on Good Lock but came across this Xposed module: Status Bar Cleanup. Updates are in Google Play and developer claims touchwiz isn't supported.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seveilith.statusbarcleanup
Hide battery icon works with above module with Good Lock as SystemUI replacement. Didn't test anything else but VPN icon hide which did not work. I used NOTifications Xposed module for that. Kind of neat to allow icon to be present for a bit then get removed.
I should add that the VPN notification I was trying to hide was from Adguard and was tired to Android System. I had to add Android System in ignore list of NOTifications module.

Awesome. Works flawlessly. Bye bye battery icon. If I can't use a custom icon with percentage inside just the percentage is the next best thing IMO

Coming from a 6p, have a few questions =p

So my old 6p had a great life, but the battery started to die on me, luckily I still has insurance on it and was upgraded to a Pixel XL 128gb today.
I had the phone unlocked and had a custom ROM on it. I always hide my nav bar and used LMT launcher (I can't use a phone any other way lol).
My question to you guys is it possible to to disable the navbar on stock 8.0 to be able to use LMT?
My second question is about my hotspot. I had a ROM that had a built in hotspot button into it that I used for tethering. Still got my unlimited data on Verizon and would like to continue using it.
So at this point is it possible to get both of those things w stock. Or should I just unlock and root and install a rom?
Thanks so much
I don't do custom ROMs, so can't speak for them, but since Oreo the method of hiding and disabling nav bar has changed. Now to hide the nav bar you need to type a command via ADB or Terminal Emulator, check this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/android-oreo-immersioln-mode-problems-t3666479
Second post to be precise. But it hides the nav bar only, the moment you scroll up from bottom it will come back.
So if you wanna disable it permanently, which I prefer anyway, try this (not tested by me personally): https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-navbar-gone-root-t3704916
It could be that your systemui and framework need to match the exact same of the mod's, like in this case the November patch.
No idea about Hot spot thing, sorry.
