[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDxDaniel:
EASIER METHOD, THANK TO saifullah90

* THIS METHOD IS WORKING ON THE NEW MARSHMALLOW UPDATE 6.0.1 for the Note 4 * :D

1 - Download a file explorer like Solid Explorer.

2 - Open the app, enable root folder access.

3 - Go to "/system/etc/permissions/ "

4 - Find the file "com.sec.feature.findo.xml", copy it to another folder and then delete the original.

5 - Reboot! :D

* OLD METHOD, WORKING WITH LOLLIPOP ONLY!! *

WARNING: My phone is SM-N910C. Anyway this mod should work on other variants too. You can backup your system partition before flashing this, just in case...

Prerequisites:

0 - A Samsung TouchWiz based rom (for example the stock one).

1 - Root on your Note 4:

· 5.0.1 http://xdaforums.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428

· 5.1.1: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/development/n910c-spacex-kernel-v0-1-auto-root-t3192875

· 5.1.1 for F?: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-5-1-1-selinux-enforcing-t3190799

2 - A Custom Recovery (like TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/development/twrp-2-8-1-2-recovery-note-4-sm-n910c-t2977933 )

Note: you can backup the app "SystemUI.apk" (which is the one I modded) using a file explorer (you can find it here: /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ ), so you can restore it if you want.

You can also unzip the download file which you can find below this lines, go into the folder System > priv-app > SystemUI and replace that .apk with yours. Then go back, select the two unzipped folders, right click > send to > compressed zip folder . Finally name it as "stockui.zip" or "backup.zip" or whatever and copy it to your phone. If you want to have your buttons back (or something went wrong) just flash that file.

TUTORIAL:

I decompiled "SystemUI.apk" in order to remove S Finder and Quick connect buttons from notification panel, and I made a flashable .zip. If your SystemUI.apk is already modded you can try adding the mod by yourself (a guide link will be at the end of this post).

1 - Download one of this:

For Android 5.0.1: https://mega.nz/#!xINmQKLI!7s7ZzZJgZek7KUFxti7SI3PDWqDm4vm5Nn4FORBI5hA

For Android 5.1.1 *Buggy*: https://mega.nz/#!kMtWSAiJ!Ys3AEP0rOYKk4mmU0-v3RbK5LKe9QUNEgF1_1h6f5ss

*It seems that the 5.1.1 version has a little bug: *

2 - Copy the .zip file into your phone.

3 - Power off and boot into recovery (POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP).

4 - Flash the .zip you downloaded ( Navigate through menus until you find an option to install a .zip ("Install" on TWRP), then choose the .zip you downloaded and flash it. )

5 - Reboot.
