How to set wifi-only and remove No SIM icon?

I am new to building Android and am having some issues with my build.
I am building Android x86, though I'm not sure if that matters. The problems I am having I believe are just related to an incorrect device.mk and/or BoardConfig.mk.

Android believes my device has a sim card slot, even though it does not. While it does not prevent usage, I would like to build without Phone.apk as well as remove the No Sim icon from the notification area.

I was wondering which parameters I need to change to fix this, and if there is a documentation for all of the BoardConfig.mk and device.mk parameters.

Thanks in advance.

You can add in your device.mk file this directive ro.radio.noril=yes

Thank you, this has removed the no-sim icon. But Phone.apk is still visible. Is it safe to just delete it from /system/app, or is the a more proper way to not build it at all?

After you add this in your device.mk

PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \
	ro.radio.noril=yes

You have to clean your android directory and then rebuild a new AOSP image.
This time phone APK will be not built. 

You can also delete phone apk in  directory out/
