Things You'll Need -
  • Knowledge of Compiling and Decompiling APKs
  • framework-res.apk
  • systemui.apk
  • And Most Important -
    Brain and Common Sense


Step 1 - StatusBar Part

Decompile systemui.apk

Download this
Then Extract the Images in it to res/Drawable HDPI And res/Drawable MDPI

Recompile the systemui.apk and Done!


Step 2 - Framework Part

Decompile framework-res.apk

Open res/values/arrays.xml with Notepad++


Find Some Code Like This -

Here Top to Bottom = Left to Right in Statusbar

Example - Here the Clock is at the last = Clock is in the Right Most Corner of Status bar

Change to -

i.e. We just move the No SimCard And Network Type below the <item>ime</item>

Note: Do whatever Arrangement you want, but just don't delete any line of code from it! or else the Status Bar will force close!

Now, Save and Close the arrays.xml

Recompile the Framework-res.apk

Done, Now ADB Push, Or make a Flashable Zip and Put it in your Device!

Enjoy! :highfive:

Is it possible to hide no sim Info, I.e even network icon when using only single sim?

Yes it is!

Just move the phone_signal_/second_sub ( Whichever u don't want ) below ime in framework-res.apk

And Replave stat_sys_signal_null_sim1/2 with a blank Image in Systemui.apk

Bro,
I know this thing will definitely involve SMALIs, but is it possible that the Second Sim Icon Disappears only if there isn't a second sim and displays it when there is one..
Switch case codes?

1)Apktool is the easiest way to go
2)SystemUI.apk is in /system/app while framework-res.apk is in /system/framework
3)You need to be rooted
