[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrendonButton:
I've a lovely ZTE Z998, and I enjoy it very much. I've been modding it slowly, and I've come to a liking with its look and feel. I've installed the Xposed Modules, Gravitybox and Tinted Status Bar, and I enjoy the flush design. There is just one flaw in it. I can not seem to remove the statusbar estate stealing 'AT&T' insignia on the left side. I wish to remove this completely, or maybe even a change to white would be okay. I will attach a screenshot of the bar, as well as my systemui.apk.

Phone: ZTE Z998 Mustang.

Version: 4.1.2

Carrier: AT&T.

Root: Yes.
