I have moved on to the Vivid as my daily carry, but still have uses for my Aria. I would like to use it as a full time GPS and media device for the car. Is there a way to remove the SIM card and signal strength status bar icons?

I'm not sure why you want to, but you may be able to cook your own (using the UOT Kitchen).
Another option is to hide it from the main screen:
Step 1: Load ADW
Step 2: Open ADW settings
Step 3: Open UI Settings
Step 4: Open Screen Preferences
Step 5: Scroll down to "Advanced settings" and select the option "Hide Status Bar."
This provides the most screen real estate, at least on the home screen.
The other option is to use a custom status bar (from UOT) that is all black or white (or the color of your GPS application). This won't remove it from the screen, but it will at least make it not seen.
One other option is to set the phone into airplane mode. This will remove both the SIM card and signal strength icons, BUT will add an airplane mode icon. This still reduces the number of unwanted icons from 2 to 1 though. ;P
I have found that Sweeter Home has a full screen option. I can then build a fake notification bar (more like a banner) with clock, battery info to provide pertinent info. Come back later for screenshot...

Not going to do what I want. Google map and navigator do not run in full screen, so the status bar shows.

Sounds like you may need to live with the status bar...
Status bar is ok...just don't want those loud blaring irrelevant icons warning me of things I no longer intend to use.

Im using Android 5.1 rooted with xposed first of all.
Is it possible to make the top status bar larger, like you can the nav bar with gravity box? The reason im asking is because I have a lifeproof case on my phone which makes it hard to swipe down the top bar for notifications.
I have a Verizon LG G3, but recently had to switch to T-Mobile. The phone is unlocked, but now I have this annoying icon on the notification bar next to the signal icon that shows a SIM card with a question mark in it. On other phones I remember a notification appearing in the notification bar that you could long finger-press and then go into app info then force stop or uncheck notifications to remove the icon, but there's nothing of the sort on this phone. Is there any way to get rid of this icon??
If you have tweaksbox and xposed I believe you can hide the icon from there. If you dont you can delete stat_notify_sim_unknown.png out of drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 and also delete the same name out of the public.xml file(else you'll have recompile issues) in the LGSystemUI.apk. If you don't know how to decompile and recompile system apks, I can do it for you. Which ROM and version are you on?
I don't mind the notch but having eaten some serious real estate, the notification icons does not seem to have enough space. On the left top bar, the network name is shown in full, then barely two more icons can fit in, the next new notification icons disappear under the notch. Hiding notch only changes the background colour so that does not help. Any ideas on this guys? Thanks.
Hello.
I looking for some way to remove those default icons from notification bar. As it is right now I have 4 icons that are using all of the space on the left side of the notch, those are volte, mobile network signal, wifi... So when I have notification from some app that I do care about I don't see it unless I swipe down and open notifications... Is there any way to remove those default icons or make some other as priority so that when there is notification from them that they push those default to the side and show me important stuff? And there is also little bit of space on the right side to maybe move some of them there...
I assume that I m not the only one that think this is stupid.
Thanks in advance
Those are what I'm talking about
