How to hide roaming network icon from Status bar?
You Android needs to be rooted because that icon is managed by SystemUI and you can't tweak it without having root privileges. 

A simple way is to use GravityBox (requires Xposed Framework). It is available for Jelly Bean, Kitkat and Lollipop.


Install it &rarr; activate its module &rarr; launch it
Go to Statusbar tweaks &rarr; check Disable roaming indicators


That's it.
