Is there any free apps out there that can add date (maybe short format) to the status bar (maybe beside the system clock)? I googled and found Date Status Bar by Modded Logic but cant seem to find a valid url for download and not found in the Market (only free apps in the Market in my country). Also havent seen any screen shot for Date Status Bar.
The reason being is that if i can add date to the status on top of the default time and battery indicator, then i can remove the clock widget from the home screen and save some screen real estate for other apps.
appreciate some feedback. thanks.
why dont you just use the small clock ? it takes the space of 2 icons and frees up a fair amount of main screen space

I'm running CM7 on my original Droid. I'm using the phone strictly as a VOIP Phone and the cellular connection is deactivated. I've used Ninjamorph to black out the cell phone signal bars, but now there is a big space between my wifi icon and the battery icon (where the cell signal bars used to be). So is there a way that I can swap the positions of the cell phone bars and the wifi icon? Or maybe just a way to remove the cell phone bars from the notification bar?
I would love to be able to rearrange the icons on the status bar and on the notification bar!

So I've experienced an empty space to the left of my notification bar and was wondering if this would be able to fix it/get it back to its original state? Here is the brief on when this occurred:
I had recently updated my sensation to ics. Everything was fine but today after an application update to Google+ and lookout security, there was a space occurring to the left of my notification bar where the notifications for some of my other apps would usually occur so it looked like there was an empty space to the left before my first app notification (all my app notifications shifted over to the right by one space you can say).
I have included photos of before and after.
You would have to edit the layout xmls of the systemui.apk to tell it not to draw those icons
So basically I follow the tutorial linked above with the section "Switching the icons around with the notification icons (optional)"? Or is there another way to do it? Also, do I need root access to continue with that tutorial?

I dont think you need root access unles you try to adb push the file back onto the device and you cant du to root permissions. But you could always slip the .apk into a flashable zip and go from there.
How 2 arrange statusbar icons and change colour of statusbar icons on android 4.0 ics
Hey guys
I m having samsung galaxy s duos gt-s7562 and i m on cosmic rom but having stock status bar...
can any one plz help me and tell me "How to rearrange status bar icons and change colour of status bar icons on android 4.0.4 ICS".....?
Not complaining, but far too often I receive a no space message when I want to add a nifty info widget to the Sense landscape homescreen in Honeycomb.
Now at least one can hide app and shortcut widgets in the Honeycomb status bar.
The free app Wizz bar adds an invisible button in the middle of the status bar, and upon press on that location reveals a bar where you can add widgets you would like to hide in there. Tested in FlyHoney 1.0/HC 3.2.1

Hello.
I've searched through the internet, yet I couldn't find the solution. Is there any way of making notification bar (prefferably stock one) slightly bigger, that it will show 2 rows of icons? I got plenty of apps which shows icons in this bar and I like to keep track on all of them.
If u know any app or a way to modify stock notification bar (which I like) please tell me
Compared to other major Android brands, Huawei EMUI status bar icons for phones are very small (they're bigger on a tablet). I'm looking for a reliable way to make them bigger but can't find any setting (or build.prop value) to make them bigger.
So I started to look at third-party apps to customize the whole status bar, there a bunch but most of them old and not working. I found one called Super Status Bar that could be a good option but the network signal icon is not working (always shows not signal), so I wonder if someone found an app or any other way to increase the status bar icons size for EMUI.
I'm fine with the status bar color and style, I just want a way to make the icons bigger or maybe incresase the height of the status bar a few pixels, that hopefully would make icons bigger.
Hello. I have serious vision challenges and hope someone can help.
Is there a way to adjust the status bar font size on the Samsung S22 plus? The settings for font size and screen zoom do nothing to the status bar or toggles icons text. (I know of and use the magnification feature. However, I simply want to be able to glance at the phone vs. magnifying every time.)
I am ditching my Pixel 6 Pro due to it's awful antenna/modem = sh*t connectivity. The one good thing about the P6P (other than the camera) is that the display size adjustment also scales the font and icon size on the status bar.
Any guidance or suggestions are welcomed. Preferably without rooting the device, I hope status bar size adjustment is possible.
Q: Do fonts downloaded and applied from the Theme Store also change the status bar fonts? Maybe I could find a larger font to install and use it instead? (BTW, Themes store filtering and search are total crap so if you know of one point me to it).
Thank you in advance.
You could try to change the dpi setting, but this will change the size of all. Afterwards you might re-adjust font size and screen zoom like you already did for the rest of the screen.
Go to "Developer options" (if already activated) in "Settings". Search for "Smallest width" note down the dp value and change it to your needs. If you change it to a higher value (e.g. from 411 to 490), everything on the screen will get smaller.
Not sure if you've worked it out yet, if not hopefully this should work for you ..
In Developer Options scroll down to 'Simulate display with cutout' and choose waterfall cutout. Reboot and go back to Simulate display with cutout and choose default Good luck..!
I can confirm that under Android 12 the waterfall cutout/dpi trick just about doubled the font size on my S22.
Since the Android 13 update this week, that hardly makes any difference in the size of the status bar font.
The text and icons in the status bar are literally the most omnipresent information bits on the phone, and they are not resizable? That is a key failure in recognizing customer needs - particularly accessibility needs.
Indeed. After the Android 13 update, the status bar is tiny with no tricks to change its size. The waterfall cutout trick no longer works. There has GOT to be a way to actually make the icons and text in the status bar actually fill that area and not be microscopically small.

Having the waterfall cutout setting just made the screen really narrow for me after the update. There no longer seems to be any good way to increase the font size in the status bar. I have tried some third party applications like Super Status Bar which do increase the font size, but they have limitations such as you can't have a transparent background, and you can't hide the status bar from the always-on display.
Do all S22 phones have the samll font in the status bar?
There are lots of complaints about this all over the internet. Surely it would be a simple matter for Samsung to provide adjustment of the Status Bar font size utilizing a Goodlock module. I live in hope because although it's not a deal breaker for me the small size in annoying.
