Two Questions: Edge panel & Status bar - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

First of all, English is not my primary language, so there might be some spelling/grammar mistakes ahead...
My device:
Samsung galaxy s7 edge (Exynos | SM-G935F)
- Android 6.0.1
- GoodLock UI installed
- Rooted
- Xposed framework installed
- TWRP recovery
Question 1:
Is it possible to only make the edge panel visible when accessing it?
To be more precise: Normally, when opening an edge panel by swiping, the panel shows up with the rest of the screen getting blurred. A settings kog and some text also appears on the screen next to the actual panel. I would like the rest of the screen to stay normal and only see the panel itself, without blur or extras. Is there some mod that allows me to achieve this? Is there an alternative app that i could use to replace Samsung's edge panels?
Question 2:
I'd like to remove two specific icons from my status bar that i just don't want to be there. The icons i'm referring to are the VoLTE icon and the Vibrate/Mute icon. I installed some apps that claim to be able to remove them but they don't seem to work. Disabling VoLTE completely would get rid of that icon, but i want to keep that active.
Thank you for your help and time

hide system tray?

Is there any way to hide the system tray (battery icon, screen rotation icon etc) in a proper way? By that I mean that it works even after a screen rotation.
this is also discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33270&highlight=system+tray
but somehow that program doesn't work very well when the screen is rotated. Since this discussion if a few month's old it seems useful to restart it

Two carrier texts in statusbar

Been reading alot here since switching from my old iPhone 6 Plus, first up, i wanna thank you guys alot for the tons of useful stuff here.
Informations:
S7 Edge G935F
Rooted Superman ROM v 1.8.1
1 SIM
So i just installed Flat Style Bar Indicators via xposed to modify my statusbar, but now there are 2 carrier text thingis (Telekom.de in my case). Using the mentioned Flat Style Bar Indicators i can hide one of them, but i can't hide the other one.
Does anyone of you have a clue what to do in this case?
(trying to add a screenshot, but since im out of data it's damn slow to upload)
EDIT: Flashed SuperMan ROM without tweaked UI - it's fine now..
Another thing.. when i wake up my phone (being in always on display or whatever) i wan't to see my lockscreen + notifications but it instantly gets me to the "enter your pin/fingerprint" unlock stuff. Is there any option to fix this?

SystemUI / Good Lock etc.

Hi all,
A newbie question to the Android experts. I have read in many forums that a rooted device is needed in order to change and/or customize status bar icons. However, Samsung Good Lock app was able to do this on an un-rooted device. Good Lock app provided AOSP status bar icons and I loved it. The stock Samsung network and WiFI icons are super hard to see and quite frankly ugly. The wifi icon is half the size because of the ridiculous up/down arrows underneath the icon.
I have been looking for a replacement app like Good Lock but no luck. I tried Status and Material Status apps but they are buggy and don't work all the time. More over, they render another status bar on top of an existing one.
How was Good Lock app able to do this on a non-rooted device? I presume it was able to replace the SystemUI?What does it take to build an app like Good Lock? Anyone knows how it was accomplished or if it's possible?
Thanks for your time.

Is there a way (Root or NonRoot) to permanently show the Navbar on Galaxy S8 Oreo?

Hi there,
I'm on Oreo stock ROM S8 with Magisk root.
Is there a way to make the navbar always visible?
I want the navbar to never disappear in full screen apps and pictures and videos, as if it was not part of the screen. It should never be hidden behind a picture etc. I hate to have to swipe up to reach the navbar. Drives me crazy.
Immersive mode is the most annoying thing I can think of. Hitting buttons in apps near the top accidentally activates the status bar etc. Perhaps there is even a way to disable full screen for all apps?

[solved] 2 side panels appears since Pie update

Hello,
Since PIE update I have an annoying problem.
2 side bars similar to edge sidebar (when its closed) appears on my screen (see screenshots).
Theese two bars don't have any actions and can't be swiped., but make little vibrate on swipe.
The main problem is the right sidebar is too close of the send button (messages/whatsapp & messenger) and make half of it don't react (and send message on click).
Here is my observations :
- it's shown over all elements (desktop, app list, all applications)
- it's not visible on lock screen
- it don't show up in Android safe mode
I've dig for hours, and try several methods without success :
- reboot (look stupid, but must be said )
- disable the real Edge sidebar
- disable Samsung Pay
- remove autorisations for ALL apps to overlay on other apps (screenshot)
- change default keyboard (with swiftkey & Gboard)
I've turn my display to night theme to highlight these sidebar, but they're still there in day mode.
I'm now out of idea... the fact it don't show up in safe mode would orient me to app issue. But due to overlay settings no apps are supposed to being able to do this (except secure folders that can't be disabled)... I have many apps it would be painful to remove /reinstall them...
Did anyone already faces similar issue?
Any idea on how to fix it, or where to dig for?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedbacks, any help will be highly appreciated

I have the very same problem. By using instragram, I have noticed that I cannot click the like button when the like button is near the white bar. So I am thinking that the white bar shows where the edge of the display is disabled to block "unwanted" touch. I also find it very annoying. Help?
Resolved. Before the Pie update, I have installed here from XDA a package of various apps ported from Pie I think. I had to uninstall the one called something like "one hand +". Once uninstalled, the two bars got removed.
Ohhhh Thanks for your fix !!!!
I've dig around Good lock features yesterday, but forget this one.
Problem solved!
