All of the mods you need are here, removing sfind is one of them, used these in my Vision s5 roms.
Good luck.

Removing S Finder and Quick connect from Notification Panel?

I've seen that thread, there's some great mods in there.
They are a little beyond what I'm comfortable doing (decompiling & editing code and such) I was hoping there was a flashable zip
this works. But the location icon when it's finding the location, changes to a couple of arrows.No guarantees.
Remount /system rw.
Delete existing SystemUI.apk and odex file in /system/priv-app/
Copy this version in. Ensure permissions are correct.
Reboot and enjoy.
Someone else less lazy can make it a flashable zip if they want.
Has anyone tried/would this work on stock NH5? I do not have a custom recovery and would hate having to Odin again and redo all my mods.
Worked flawless on Unikat ROM on Note 3 Neo

Ended up losing my entire status bar on my Note 4 NK4 build. Thought I'd give it a shot. Restored my phone, so no biggie. 
Will need to look under that devices section to see if anyone has made a modified systemui to get rid of it.
Currently xposed doesn't work on lollipop and will probably be a while before it does.

Hello, this thread might be outdated but for me it was a current topic and i didn't want do open a new thread. So I just found this tutorial.
1. You need a rooted device and a Root Explorer (Make sure you have Read/Write permissions enabled.
2. Browse to the root folder from there to the system folder.
3. Make a Backup of the "build.prop" file - just in case...
4. Edit the file with a Text Editor and search for the line "ro.product.name="
5. Now if there is like for example "jfltexx" edit the name until "XXXlte" -> delete everything that's behind "lte"
6. Add "vzw" or "att" behind "lte" -> for example "jfltevzw" and save the file.
7. Now reboot and it's done!

This should work on every android 5.0+ device (didn't test it out)
Hope I could help you guys out Worked fine for me

*the issues I am having might be firmware dependent*
Changed mine to vzw and it worked, but.. It also changed the 4G icon to a 4GLTE icon, it changed the brightness bar so that it can't be changed while in auto mode, the wifi hotspot icon is also changed. And systemui crashes on boot and everytime I run an app in landscape mode.. The taskmanager/clear all apps icons in recents are changed to text. Gonna try changing to att now
EDIT: Tried changing to att and the 4GLTE and WiFi hotspot icons changed again. The 4GLTE icon is a new one and the hotspot icon is the same as the standard 900F icon. Also, att forces the operator name to be shown in statusbar. SystemUI crashes on boot just like with vzw BUT that's the only time it crashes, unlike vzw where SystemUI crashes in landscape mode too.
EDIT#2: So, after changing to vzw then att then vzw and then att again, att crashes in landscape mode too. I guess it's an odex/kernel issue, because I've wiped cache & dalvik but it persists.
EDIT#3: here's a screenshot of the systemUI crash because of landscape mode / rotation.
EDIT#4: vzw works perfect without any issues on Sixperience 3.0. Pic attached

The above method does work, but being on the VZW (verizon) breaks 2G/EDGE connectivity. Going into More Networks under setting shows it changed the phone to cdma mode, but works fine as long as there is LTE coverage.
Let me correct myself for a bit, I did this all on android 4.4.2. I just tried it out on 5.0. The s-finder and quick connect goes away (cool!), but the settings still show settings for CDMA select (no biggie for me).

Same baseband/firmware/modem.

Interesting, on alexandrs BOE3 devbase it seems to be causing rotation to fc systemui. Could be something I'm doing, but I doubt it. Try changing to att instead. AT&T is a gsm carrier. :good:
Like @CronKz said, they both work.

ro.product.name=......vzw worked for me, i got a dual sim chinese version of galaxy s4 with stock 5.0.1 firmware
update.
it works but it has side effects.
1. the symbols H, H+, G, 3G,E do not appear any more
2. the brightness adjustment is missing the "adjustable auto" mode.

Tried both 'vzw' and 'att' on my SM-N910C using T-Mobile and stock ROM (nothing changed beyond rooting). ro.product.name was "treltexx"; I deleted and replaced the "xx". In both cases, while the S-Finder and Quick Connect both did go away, I also lost cellular connectivity entirely - any time I tried to go to any mobile networks I'd get a (paraphrasing slightly) "Insert SIM card to access network settings" message. So I think I'm just going to live with their presence for now.

Flashable zip. Should only be used on a deodexed rom.43
