Clean up your status bar without root - HTC U11 Guides, News, & Discussion

HTC disabled the built in System UI Tuner on their devices so it's a little more difficult to hide icons from the status bar.

Install this app and you can get back all the functionality that HTC disabled. Most of it is very self explanatory, however, there is a little trick that is HTC specific.
On HTC you can actually hide the boomsound icon from the status bar. If you use the app and go to Miscellaneous, you can toggle on Power Notification Controls. Start some music to get the boomsound notification up then slide right and tap the settings icon. Turn down the importance to level 1 and you will still get the notification but without the icon in the status bar.

Great find. Thanks.

Great post Bud, appreciate it. Works very well.

Can't you just run Viper ROM to achieve these customizations?

Power Control Toggle in Notification Bar

Is there a way to have something like this on the Arc?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9885714
It is possible, *sort of*.
Widgetoid 2.x does exactly this (and lots more), but unfortunately due to a restriction in andoid you cannot directly toggle settings from the notification bar, so it opens up a popup instead.
To do it directly we will have to wait for a custom rom, e.g. cyanogen, with it included.
Is this what your looking for?

It will be great if a dev can port the power control widgets to the arc..
instead of installing apps which just create link to a popup on the notification screen, I want the ability to toggle from the notification screen directly.

1% Battery Mod / 15 Toggle Mod / Menu Key?

I have these both on my Skyrocket and I'm wondering if they are available for this yet? Standard battery icon with the percent over it, and toggles to turn wifi, Bluetooth stuff like that on and off in the pulldown nav.
Also I know I've seen it somewhere. But a mod to force the menu button to always be in the bottom navigation bar?
I can post a picture if you want to see what I mean.

Power Toggles can pin a toggle bar to the notifications pull down, will also show a percentage icon.

That is great, but it doesn't actually automatically toggle like GPS on or off just takes me to the screen to check or unchecked it myself. And though it does show the percentage, I don't think its 1% and definitely not as clean as if it replaces the stock battery icon on the right side.
Also anything for the menu key?

Have you tried 1tap QuickBar for the navigation bar toggles?
Oh man I'd kill for a menu key that's always on. The 3 dots from up and down kinda menu key!

app request: disable notification panel

I can't believe a developer hasn't created this yet.
I love the desktop lock feature of adw launcher. But my 4 year old will still accidentally pull down the notification panel and change settings.
So there has to be a way to add an in-memory app that prevents the panel from being pulled down.
I still want to be able to see the status bar, but just not be able to pull down the panel.
I know it's possible because I have widgetlocker and it prevents it from the lock screen.
Please put your development skills to the test!
I am stock; not rooted; and have both ICS Droid 4g, and GB Incredible 2.
Try GMD Gesture Control. With a gesture or on an app-active basis you can hide the notification bar, which in this case prevents the drawer from being opened. You still get an auditory notification, and if you're near another gadget, there are ways to get notified via browser, a backup phone, tablet, and in not too long, TVs & watches, too.
So glad to *not* hear "you" sent your boss a "drunken" nonsense text! It was the coloring apps combined with the incomparable, phone-endangering frustration (not mine) that got me to spend the $5.
adw launcher can already hide the status bar, thus locking the notification panel. But I want an app that let's me see the status bar but locks the panel (just like widgetlocker lockscreen does).
Any dev out there that can make this for me?

[SOFT MOD] GMD softkeys

Hello pals, wanted to share this
Its great for recovering some precious screen space. It works wonders for me
Its called GMD Auto Soft Keys, for me, its the best alternative to all the other soft button mods.
Hope you like it
Link is here
Tried it, horrible option if you like to play games.

How is it horrible when playing games?
Smart Statusbar is one solution. When in a full screen app / game, drag down from top of the screen as if checking a notification. You really only need to do this very slightly, just enough to make the status bar appear, and you will notice the GMD Auto Soft Keys indicator will reappear at the bottom also.
another option is button savior, but i prefer GMD,
GMD can hide the statusbar and the nav bar, without any build prop editing.
gaming is ok for me, just remember where your hotspot is and swipe there, y leave the hotspot in dead center so i can put it small and wouldn't interfere with games.
I also like GMD. It seems to be almost the same as ultimate dynamic nav bar xposed module but for me GMD is better because you can turn off the notification that stops a pull down on status bar going direct to my quick setting.
Here is another mod to free up some screen space.
Hidden but expandable Status Bar
If anyone makes this for Moto G, be sure to post it in 'Themes and Apps.'

I use GMD on other devices and only have praise for it
I purchased GMD last night and it was definitely worth it! My phone looks great now! I also have most apps set to fullscreen mode with Appsetting in Xposed so that hides the status bar. A quick swipe down from the top of the screen will reveal a semi-transparent status bar for a few seconds.
Some images for comparison (1st: Normal, 2nd: Swipe up from bottom, 3rd: Swipe down from top.):
GMD plus Pie Controls for me

Automatic hide status bar

Hi,
I want to use automatic hide status bar. Im using automatic hide navigation bar like this. How i can do automatic hide status bar and use my rooted s8 full screen
Systemui tuner in play store will do it. Immersive mode. I got it in full. You can also do it as on unrooted devices. I have Xposed with gravity box which suppose to do it but doesn't. This app I found does it on the s8 and nicely. Add seconds to the clock and turn off icons. Check it out. It is by zacharee1, the app.
Here is my home screen. The status bar comes and goes with the nav bar. I hated seeing the status bar.
It is looking very nice. I cant install magisk or xposed. I tried everything and open a post in xda. But i cant use it still. I will change my rom and try to flash magisk or xposed again
