Hi, I have a SGS2 with RootBox v4.2 and the status bar is pretty small (for my eyes), anybody knows how to increase status bar size height and icons size together. Increasing text size doesn't help, neither hybrid settings (to make it smaller no problem). Thanks
Hi!
Anyone knows is it possible or not to increase or decrease battery percentage size in status bar?
For example, instead of '60' I want '60'.
It's possible. You'd have to decompile OPSystemUI.apk and find the layout that has the battery test (system_icons.xml I think). From there you can change the text size and font
Hm. Ok, I'll try this.
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.
Is there a way to change the icon size & font size of the quick setting icons or the status bar icons? I find it really annoying since the icons and font size don't match with the whole system font size and display size. Tried changing DPI but that doesn't help either. Does anyone know how to get this fixed?
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.
