How do i remove the chippynote logo from notification bar?

IMO, he could have used this time, creating logos, and background, for something usefull. Now i gotta look around for tricks to remove what he did in the first place.
Used xposed mods so far to remove the holobackground, but still.. i want to remove the damn thing.

this Rom is fantastic, the only downside, is that it can't recognize arabic language at all?? even in browser, during browsing any arabic website, the arabic writing is missing, completely blank. if it was a problem of a keyboard, i would have just installed a third-party one, but the problem is that the language is completely missing or wiped out?
i would really appreciate how can i at least add it so it can recognize arabic fonts during internet surfing and document reading
thank You

I think the rom does not have any arabic fonts installed. Check the /system/fonts/ folder for GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf file, if it is not there extract the attached font and copy it to the folder then correct its permissions to be the same as other fonts in the folder reboot and then you are done.

thank You very much. it worked perfectly. i have attached other missing contacts/e-mail syncing issues for other users to benefit from which worked fine with me to help maximize the use of this awesome ROM

however, i noticed that all stylus pen functions are stripped off too. like press and hold for capture edit and double click for Snote. Any chance there is a possible way to re-integrate these two features???

thanks for all the explanations. appreciate it ;)

    5. I will greatly appreciate polite suggestions and will try to include them if i find them in line with ChippyNote purpose statement.

    Purpose: Share ChippyNote ROM which is custom ROM for my personal use and explain process to transform a stock TW rom to one which can be characterized as slim, light, stripped, barebone, naked or whatever you may like to call after removing all those useless programs and features which are commonly called as bloats.

    Hi, Few members approached me to understand the stripping/slimming process of a stock TW rom. For the benefit others I am sharing here what i was able to understand. For experts there is nothing much but you can always suggest improvements.
    Due to other priorities, I am not able to check thread during weekdays but only on weekends.

    Step by Step Process
    1. Following applications/files were used during this exercise.
    a. Stock ROM (N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000OXXLT3_HOME.tar)
    b. philz latest XXLT9 kernel from here (http://d-h.st/mOm)
    c. dsixda kitchen
    d. 7zip
    e. Notepad++
    f. paint.net with optipng plugin​
    2. open rom tar file with 7zip and pull .img files(cache.img,factoryfs.img, hidden.img) in original_update folder of kitchen.
    3. open philz signed zip with 7zip and pull zimage to original_update folder of kitchen.
    4. start dsixda's Android Kitchen (guides available on XDA to setup dsixda kitchen)
    5. while setting up working folder provide set of .img files as original rom
    6. carefully follow the process as guided by kitchen to get all folders extracted
    7. once you complete rom extraction, move all apks from preload app directory to system app directory for deodexing
    8. move to advanced options for deodexing. just make sure to use right api level (16) while deodexing app and framework folders.
    9. Here you may also find option 13,14 and 17 useful to include root, init.d, data app, updaterscript
    10 if you have used option 17 for updaterscript then it will be good idea to visit your updater script under "Kitchen\original_update\WORKING_xxxxxxx\META-INF\com\google\android" and check if everything is alright
    11. if you are seasoned rom maker then you may check out build.prop under system folder in working directory of kitchen.
    12. you can add tweaks if you wish. Here are assorted one that i use.

    13. So now we have pure deodexed stock rom structure available. You can zip it flash it to your note. But i may like to strip it before passing it on to my device so that it is real slim and fast. So here we go
    14. First round of stripping will be to eliminate all those files and apps which user dont use atleast once in a week and can be deleted straight from working folder. As a user one can always decide to keep the apps that you need. I prefer to delete any app that i dont use atleast once in a week. For me here is the list of files which i delete

    20. After deletions its time to check on bulky apps and replace it with lighter one. Following are the ones used in this rom.
    1. Samsung SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk were replaced with AOSP email.apk and exchange.apk
    2. Samsung ClockPackage.apk and various clocl widgets were replaced with MiUI deskclock ported by HootanParsa
    3. bulky soundrecorder from samsung is replaced with MIUI sound recorder port by HootanParsa (Layout needs to be fixed)
    4. Accuwether stuff was replaced by Asus Padfone2 humble but useful weatherclock. i modded it to work with Miuideskclock
    5. SecCalculator replaced by simple CM calculator
    6. all samsung music stuff is replaced by powerful Apollo mod by 7ORO
    7. file manager replaced with OIfilemanager
    8. Stock browser replaced with lightweight and fast nakedbrowser​
    21. After deletion and replacement i optimised stock apps for size. basically lang files which were not needed , were deleted and pngs were optimsed/edited. This is where i theme apks. This need apktool setup.
    22. move apk to be optimised to apktool folder and decompile it.
    23. Now one can delete language (not used) specific folders inside apk such as raw-de or values-de if german language is not used. I retained de,es,fr,it and ru which can cover quite a lot of users.
    24. Now check out larger png/jpg files. generally i look for files which are bigger than 10kb. To optimise i use paint.net with optipng plugin
    25. In case you want to theme or mod any apk you can do it here.
    26. once you are done compile apk. Instead of signing i prefer to drop META-INF and AndroidMenifest.xml from original apk to modded apk
    27. this way you can strip down the larger apks such as secsettings or framework-res. Now move all the stripped apks to respective folders in ROM working folder.
    28. zip all now to get your rom.

    In case you are trying these steps but think these steps are taking you nowhere, then its better you stay away. it can result into anything from world war 3 to your phone getting fried. If you are ok and understand what you are doing but need some clarification, i will try my best efforts and available knowledge.

    Notes:
    1. Whats app installation: after new rom installations, first thing i installed from google play was whatsapp. installation was ok, registration was smooth. sync was having issues. looks like this is due to contacts. rebooted, created one dummy contact and again launched whatsapp which was already registed now. it synced without issue.
    here is screen shot. Hope you enjoy it :)
