Default Vibration Icon

Hey does anyone know how to remove the Vibration Icon from the task bar (considering that now when Vibrate is selected to always on it shows) on AT&T Galaxy S2 w/o rooting or anything like that? Trying to keep this one root free for at least another month. LOL

Thanks in advance

DONATE TO ME
I was wondering the same thing, It's fairly annoying. I think Vibrate uses more battery, so it's kind of a reminder that you could disable it for better battery life.

Same here! I am used to my Cappy and still keep thinking that the ringer is off because it is showing the vibrate symbol. I keep the vibration on because I would never know it was ringing in my pocket otherwise. It would be nice to be able to use that valuable real estate in the notification bar on something a little more useful.

I was just wondering the same thing. I carry my phone inside my pockets I can't disable vibration I need it just in case I don't hear it ring.

No. This is exactly the opposite of what we are wanting. We want to have vibration working at all times whether loud or silent but not have that dumb little icon in the top status bar

Don't see the point of having that annoying icon on the status bar at all the times. Also who's idea was to put the airplane mode toggle on the status bar , I would had prefer something more useful.

Yeah really! Why the heck would you put airplane mode toggle in place of something way more useful like a ringer toggle?

You guys make a great point about the Airplane mode I don't know what corporate big shot made that call! It would've been much smarter to have kept the ringer toggle there like @damon20r stated.

Hopefully someone will figure out the annoying vibration task bar icon sooner than later.

The Cognition X2 ROM is working on these issues. Primarily getting rid of the vibration icon and changing the flight mode toggle to Vibration+Ring/Ring Only/Vibration Only/None.
