Does anyone know if it's possible to hide just the notification icon without hiding the notification itself from pulldown?
Use case: Yahoo Weather app, the persistent notification in the pulldown is beautiful. I want it to always be there. However, the little temperature notification icon is pretty ugly, and I want to hide/disable it.
Using JB's "disable notifications" won't work since it will disable the entire notification, not just the icon.
Any ideas?
Maybe decompile systemui.apk or farmework-res.apk or where the icon is and turn it into a blank icon as in matches the background of status bar?
Or try to decompile Google now and dig through some xml files to figure out how they do it.
Off hand I can't say I've ever tried and don't have a great answer but may give you a start

It's possible but it can't be done by non developpers. I mean, you have to configure theme settings in android files to do what you want.
Anyway there are available themes on xda that add some functionality to the status toggles, you could look around. For example, the theme I'm using has 9 toggles on the status bar.
EDIT: I found this app.

It doesn't change the toggles that come in the notification bar (as I said you have to mess with android files for this) but it can make launcher's in the notiications panel. It looks pretty cool, maybe you should try it.
Hey, is there a mod that allows to make the not. Bar transparent in apps?
Send from my awesome S3!
Not sure if it works only in app but with the 3minit mod you can change the colour and transparency of the notification bar.
not to be confused with the status bar
my bad! @Glebun, Whats the difference then. Just so i can learn and not make the stupid rookie error in future!
I wasn't referring to you, since I'm not familiar with the mod you are talking about. I just thought that OP might have had the status bar in mind. The status bar is the bar on top of the screen with the clock, battery and signal levels and notification icons. The notification bar is the expanded status bar where the notifications are.
OK, my apologies. Thought you were correcting my Noobness! I thought the two were connected but presumed i was missing something or misusing the correct names for them!
With the 3Minit Framework Mod you can change both status bar and notifications bar colour and transparency.

Also, if you use AOKP, there is a system setting in ROM control to manage that.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

where? I'm pretty sure there isn't
I need to get rid of the system bar on Android 4.1 tablets since the tablets will be in a commercial/retail environment and be used for business. My app will be the only app used on the tablet and it needs as much screen real estate as possible for what we're trying to do. I have searched already and I see that there are ways to do it on a rooted tablet, however since this will be in a business and deployed to several hundred or thousand businesses, I cannot have all the tablets rooted for legal and security issues. (Would I really have issues legally though if I were to root them?)
I know that you can dim the status bar and make the buttons dots but that really isn't optimal.
If there is no way to get rid of it, is it possible to change the status bar icons and functionality? I ask this because our app has a status bar on top and we could possibly move it to the bottom and change the icons and functionality of the status bar to match the app's status bar so no screen real estate is lost.
I have read that 4.2 adds some fullscreen functionality for apps. Is this true? Can the status bar be hidden in 4.2 as opposed to 4.1?
You could get rid of statusbar
Add this attribute to activity declaration in manifest
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

That just gets rid of the title bar for the app and the notification bar at the top. That does not get rid of the navigation bar at the bottom. I would like the navigation(system) bar to be gone.

I know but for un rooted dev this is the only thing that can be done
To completely remove statusbar del the Systemui.apk from system/app
To remove navigation bar at the bottom give me details of your dev and attach Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk they can be found in system/app and system/framework
But this can't be done without root
Press Thanx Button dude

Re: Getting rid of Status Bar on 4.1
Here's what I would do:
- Setup another Launcher (like Apex) to where 1) only one page, one icon (your app), and lock the homescreen from any changes, 2) make sure that when you press Menu, it performs a different action than giving you an option to access Settings, and 3) disabling the Status Bar in 'General'.
- Change the attribute in the Manifest file like sak-venom1997 suggested.
I'm pretty sure that doing this would give the user no option to change anything. Pretty sure.
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
How do I remove the 'Digital Balance' status bar icon? I would like to keep the notification when I pull down the status bar to view my screen on time, but I do not wish to see the persistent status bar icon. The notch on this phone is quite big, so i'm trying to eliminate unecessary icons. I have already searched up on countless guides, and tried many different methods to remove status bar icons and have succeeded, but I just can't seem to remove this particular status bar icon.

I have tried to replicate the same scenario but can't find way to hide status bar icon.
maybe an app like systemui tuner might do it
