So now that we have root (happy day!!!!!!!), I've been playing around with CSC modifications and wanted to share two I've done so far. PLEASE find more, this is JUST a start!
So for those unfamiliar with CSC, you can do it manually as they started getting people involved with on this thread, or semi-automatically with apps like Samsung CSC Master and CSC Feature Expert. I personally used the latter, CSC Feature Expert, because it looked cleaner and could search quicker, but take your pick I guess....
Here's what I've come up with so far! The italicized part is what was CHANGED, what it was changed TO, more specifically (hope this clarifies things)
Remove NFC enabled icon in the notification bar - NFC_StatusBarIconType = None
Remote Persistent WiFi notification in pull down menu - Wifi_ConfigWifiNotificationStyle - deleted Att, did not replace with anything
I'm sure there's plenty more, but this is a great start so let's see what you all come up with! I'm dying to change SystemUI / Framework / etc to get all my vanilla Android icons back on the notification bar, just like how I did it on my S5, but that's proving harder than expected for everyone involved.... Gotta get the AOSP Bluetooth icon, removing AM/PM from clock, and having a standard circle battery icon instead of the percentage AND stupid battery icon! Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the Carrier ID in the notification bar and pull down menus? Should be a CSC change that I haven't seen yet, so thanks in advance if you find it.
Awesome work so far buddy! Any idea on how we could remove the Bluetooth or Alarm icons? Or even battery / signal indicator. I prefer having a clean status bar!

That's wiping it clean for sure! I don't know about those, usually zeroing out icons is more framework than CSC, it was dumb luck that the NFC icon was in CSC really. I'm hoping there's some ATT crap code that can be changed to revert the Bluetooth icon back to AOSP looking, but I doubt it's there.... I'm thinking that the persistent wireless charging notification might be though!
Do we even have the original AT&T ROM we can Odin back in case we screw up anything? I dont think its available yet!

From what everyone has said on the PingPongRoot thread, you can use Smart Switch to restore if something screws up, but I believe it would be hard (read: not impossible) to break something bad enough to need to restore anything by editing CSC values - I'm not even sure if "none" or deleting the value all together was the right thing to do in the first post, but it worked and didn't cause anything like a SystemUI failure / reboot / etc.
Of course, YMMV, so tread carefully, I'm still digging but having changed anything else in CSC values yet
There is one in there for the app draw to have it sort ABC also

Smart Swith does NOT work with the AT&T version. At least not in my Edge.

One way would be to edit your build.prop.
Be very careful because messing with build.prop can cause a bootloop, not sure if it would be recoverable right now.
What you could do would be change this line:
ro.product.name=zerolteuc
to
ro.product.name=zeroltevzw
or
ro.product. name=zerolte
Then reboot.
Note, this will change your signal icons and if you use zerolte, it will add S Finder and Quick Connect to the drop down.
I'm running zerolte because I like the global icons and don't mind the two new items on the pull down.
I think once xposed is updated, there is an option there. I don't think it is on CSC.

Has anyone tried using Smart Switch to restore?!? I did some searching on it but the only thing it does is a factory reset (which doesn't clear root permissions) if I understand correctly.
EDIT: I checked out what the newest (?) version of Smart Switch can do and while I do think that it's possible for it to restore ATT S6/edge phones, it's currently not a possibility. For me it says SM-G925A does not support initializing.
I've researched that error and seems that the regular ATT S6 also gets the same type of error. So until a firmware dump appears or Smart Switch gets updated with ATT s6/edge compatibility, you cannot restore to stock if something messes up.

Have you already done this without bootloop? If so then as long as I only change this exact line i should be good.

Yeah, this is why we really need Xposed.... changing that line means we change a lot of things all at once instead of just what we need to change
Like you said, ro.product.name=zerolte removes the AT&T carrier name from displaying, but adds S Finder (does nothing for me) and Quick Connect, PLUS stock data icons which I really hate for some reason - don't know which one I hate more though, the carrier name always showing up on the notification bar or the stock data icon? haha
if you change it to ro.product.name=zeroltevzw, you get rid of S Finder and Quick Connect, but add Verizon data icons, which again is arguably worse
This was highlighted here: http://zidroid.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-how-to-remove-s-finder-and-quick-connect-buttons/
Xposed will allow me to change everything how I like it - ATT carrier name removed, AOSP Bluetooth icons, circle battery, no AM/PM, ATT data icon, and remove S Finder, Quick Connect, as well as the Brightness Bar :good:
I dont mind using Tmobile data icons if we can get the code to use.

zeroflteuc is just the regular S6. The Edge doesn't have the 'f'.
Therefore, you would change yours to zeroflte (or zerofltevzw, etc).

I am refering to the "wifi, bluetooth, silent and vibration" toggles you see when you pull down the notification bar.
I think this is specifically for i9000 becoz I dont remember seeing this sort of thing in other android screenshots.
Anyway, is there any way to remove these? Coz i am already using widget and dont need it on the bar.
I would also want to know how. thanks guys
I actually think its a quite handy spot to have those toggles, but would be wicked if one could select which settings to have there.

Yep I agree. Love them but wish I could change them. Why bother with silent? I would rather toggle GPS or 3G

The newer leaked firmwares [froyo builds] have taken out the silent, and added GPS and screen-orientation lock.

Yup! From what I seen with the leaked firmwares, I guess Samsung also find it more useful to add the missing GPS option into it.
Though is just minor improvement, I think is a good improvement.
This may not be possible but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to get the notification icons that pop up on the status bar to be more like the KitKat icons? I've got some notifications that show up as a plain white square on my status bar ever since I upgraded to Lollipop a few months ago.
Let me give you an example of couple that I'm running into. I have the NASCAR Mobile app on my phone. I also have the 14News app (local news) on my phone. Anytime I get notifications from either of these apps, I get a plain white square on my status bar and I have to take the time out and look and see what it is. I'm wondering if it is something in the Motorola settings that I'm missing because I am also running Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8") tablet and I don't have these issues on that device at all.
Any help that can be given to me on this would definitely be greatly appreciated.

I've never had Greenify on my Moto X at all. These apps that I was talking about are apps that I use and get notifications from several times per week and I'd like to be able to tell at a glance which app is giving me the notification on my phone.
By the way, I've marked both apps as priority and I still get the plain white squares on these app notifications.

then perhaps it's due to too many notifications (sometimes from the same app). I noticed that on some apps like fb. on other apps like scrabble, there is a number embedded on the notification icon.
i believe there is a setting to tell whether or not to group them together or not.
There isn't anything like that on my status bar at all.
Are you asking if its possible to change the notification icon style on Lollipop to that of KitKat/Jellybean then yes its possible with the use of some Xposed mods. If the notification icons themselves appear distorted due to some reason then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the apps perhaps. A screenshot or two would have been really helpful in getting a better understanding of your issue here.
If you're asking about notification ticker, there's a module for Xposed by the name of 'Enable Notification Ticker'. I have it installed myself.

Hello I have a galaxy tab s2 t810 running lollipop 5.1.1 It is rooted .I want to remove the add user icon from the notification bar. When the screen is locked anybody can pull down the notification bar click on users and then create a new user by clicking on add user. I want to remove only the add user icon please point me in the right direction. I have looked in settings under lock screen and there is no option to turn this off. Thanks

Wow, I can't believe there is still no information anywhere about this. I would really like to know the answer as well. I imagine a lot of people are the sole users of their devices and do not want anyone who picks up their device to be able to create a new account, change settings and download apps. I encrypt my devices and know my information is secure but if I want to add a user I can do it from the settings once I'm logged in. I would love the ability to remove the option from the lock screen. I just don't get whoever thought this was a good idea but apparently most people either don't mind, don't care or as I suspect, don't realize it's there. This option should be available for unrooted devices as well.

Wouldn't be too bad if there was a dedicated space in the status bar for them, but when they come and go, icons to the left bounce around.

I ended up just disabling the data icon entirely. I almost never end up in a dead zone without signal/wifi, and if you really want to know you can use a widget or KLWP or something to make an indicator on your desktop.

Enable the System UI Tuner by pulling down the notification shade and long pressing the settings gear icon for a while.
Then, find System UI Tuner in the System Settings. From there you can disable various icons.
Sony monitor their own Community forums for feedback. There are a few threads over there already about these network indicators causing icons to shift around; plenty of people find them irritating. Be sure to add your thoughts to those threads and hopefully Sony will change the icons in a future update.
I went to phone settings and found a Sony email address and sent some feedback mostly about the status bar indicators, nfc icon, auto brightness, and missing Oreo night mode (blue light filter). But I'll check out the Sony forum. Both Oreo and the phone are fairly new, so maybe it's just they need to polish the software a bit.
I thought I was the only one finding this annoying. I was about to create a new thread about it. I think what I can do for now is to disable the entire icon and install some third party app for wifi indicator.

Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .
Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots
It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.
