Does anyone know how to remove the Bluetooth icon from the status bar? I am fine with adb or terminal, I just don't know how to do it. I would like to not have it there when nothing is connected and I leave Bluetooth on all the time.

I am running CM9 alpha 3 currently on my E4GT if that matters.
 
Can't give you the exact answer, but point you in the right direction. I know built into the rom, there is a folder that stores all the status bar icon files. You would just replace the Bluetooth icon with an all black icon.

It's basically the same method you would use to theme your notification bar.

One of our former guides has a basic tutorial on themeing, I'll see if I can find it.
