Remove battery indictor from custom android rom 4.0.3 (api 15)

I have an "always on" device that runs a custom build of Android Ice Cream Sandwhich (4.0.3 api 15). It has no battery and I need to remove the battery display from the status bar. The project deliverable is a concise list of code/resource changes that will remove the battery indicator from the status bar. I am NOT looking for a custom app, but a change list to the ICS source code. The project also requires the following: -The deliverable instruction set must be in english -All bids must be at or below the max project budget (last time I got quote 4x the budget, if you can not do this for my budget, dont waste time with a bid) -I will fund only through Freelancer, I don't want to go through a project discussion only to be hit up for payment through another avenue. -As in other bids I've seen include a codeword that tells me this description was actually read; that word is zerk -No 'bait and switch' bids, where the person awarded a bid then transfers it to someone else, that is a true time waster. -This project should be a simple task for anyone that has written any custom battery indicators, so instead of laundry list of previous projects just details ones that directly relate to my project [this tells me that I'm not getting a templete resume of previous projects]. My apologies for the somewhat extreme bidding requirements but I have been very badly burned by 'shader' elements on this site.
