Hello guys !

I find out that many user facing a problem of NFC Icon not showing up in few firmware's like CE or the American one which the rom made by @serajr is made of.
Here is my small tutorial on how to made NFC Icon show up or disable it ;)

What you will need:
Rooted phone
Sony Xperia L C2105/C2104
Buildprop Editor App

MOTOCHOPPER option to root on 2.17 firmware ;)

Instructions:
1a: Turning on NFC ICON

- Download an app called Buildprop Editor
- Open the app and search for: "ro.nfc.icon.enable" NOTE: If you cannot find it go to the "1b"
- Change the value from "false" to "true"
- Save it and press "YES" on the option to reboot
- Wait till your phone boot's up and here you go ! Now you have a NFC Icon when a NFC is turn on.

1b: Turning on NFC ICON (When you don't have the line in Buildprop)
- Download an app called Buildprop Editor
- Open the app, click on the PLUS SIGN and at the Property Name type: "ro.nfc.icon.enable"
- At the Property Value write "true".
- Save it and press "YES" on the option to reboot
- Wait till your phone boot's up and here you go ! Now you have a NFC Icon when a NFC is turn on.

2: Turning off NFC ICON
- Download an app called Buildprop Editor
- Open the app and search for: "ro.nfc.icon.enable"
- Change the value from "true" to "false"
- Save it and press "YES" on the option to reboot
- Wait till your phone boot's up and here you go ! Now your NFC Icon is gone.

It's easy as it could be. I've tested it on my C2105. I think you don't need a screenshot's for this.

This line wasn't present in build.prop so I added it manually and it works now. Just do one thing in your instructions. TRUE should be in small letters and not capital. Make this change. :)
