looks like you need to use a program called ROM patcher with some patches, not sure i'd recommend it, wouldn't that be hacking the phone?? :con? hmm not sure, here are the links i found though if you want to give it a go...

good luck! 😊

had a look into them, looks ok, don't mind hacking into the phone as long as it answers one question:

1. once I patch the ROM, can the phone be returned to 'as out of factory' look if i need to? or it's a 'permanent-hardware-patch' process.

in short: is there a way back?

The only way to get rid of those extra bits and pieces on an N series phone is to hack it. On the E series, the active standby screen is fully customisable and you can get rid of all the unecessary things without having to hack the phone. Yeah, completely crazy I know.
