I would like an app that I can change the color of my WiFi, sound, signal, etc. On the status bar. Anyone know of any good ones? I'm on the marshmallow and I'm have a galaxy s6 edge.

I am a cricket fanatic. I want somehow a widget to show up while the phone is locked (but the screen is lit up).
As in, I shall wave my hand over the phone, the screen will light up, the widget should show without actually unlocking the phone. This will make checking the score again and again so easy. Any way to do it?

I am not code savvy enough to say its possible or not, but can we have a mod to display the charging status and alarm info in the PIN lock screen, like how it displays in the pattern lock screen. Dont know if there are many like me who dont use PIN to lock the phone because we cannot see time,battery & signal status,alarm etc without unlocking the phone.

You can see the time on status bar.
You can see signal status on your status bar.
You can see the battery status if you change the charging animation In framework res.apk
You need to get the accurate battery though.
The alarm..im not sure
axura 2.3.0 with adw launcher ex
Alarm Klock in the market allows you to put alarm info in the lockscreen. It can either be the time of, or a countdown to, the next alarm. You can also customize it.
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.

I never held a notch phone, but the poco has got my attention because of the price, I was wondering what happens when you've a lot of icons on one side of the notch, i usually have battery %, network signal, vpn icon, wi-fi icon, BT icon, and you could have even more...
My question is: what happens when you have all those things active on a notch this small? do they stay hidden or they go to other place? It looks like it only has enough space for time on one side and enough for 3 or 4 icons on the other side.
Of course the icons will be distributed over the status bar less the notch, I think.
I'm guessing the same thing as happens with a regular phone when you have too many icons on the status bar. They disappear off the screen and you have instead a symbol indicating that several icons are hidden
Should look something like this, weblink can be found in file name.
Hello,
I have been using the F1 for one month now, and I love the power and photo quality of this phone for it's price.
But one thing is a problem for me: the notch.
In one hand, I like having a display that is covering the maximum of the front of the phone, and in the other hand this big thing is allowing only to see a few notifications and system icons.
With MiUi 10, we have a feature to display the notifications under the clock (see here), but with Custom Roms like LineageOS you can only have two or three icons, or hide the clock, and this become also a problem on the right side when you have wifi, cellular data, bluetooth, GPS and the battery icon: somes disappear and are replaced by a dot on the left, and you need to expand the notification panel to see the icons.
Because of these issues I am constantly using the feature that hides the notch by totally disabling the top part of the screen.
So my question is: is there any app/mod/anything that could make the status bar use the left and right side of the notch and a bar at the bottom like a normal phone?
I have made a concept in GIMP in the attachments.
Thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for my English
Have a great day,

On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
