Root Brightness Slider? (KitKat Explosion)

I honestly can't stand the thing either :mad:

I've tried to totally remove it from our SystemUI once but my Rush just wouldn't boot back up so I gave up and made it transparent along with just about everything else I could think of :D

It should be fairly easy to remove. Just decompile systemUI.apk and then open SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml and remove the lines referencing the volume slider. One done, recompile and push to phone.

If that sounded like a foreign language to you, then i should be able to do it tomorrow as long as i can get a copy of:

-SystemUI.apk
-Framework-res.apk
-Tw_framework-res.apk

(not sure if that's the exact name...)
