Possible To Increase Notification Bar's Display Size Only? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi
Using an unrooted phone, wondering if it's possible to increase the size of or zoom in on just the numbers/symbols of the notification bar...

...without affecting the size/zoom of the rest of the phone's display?
Have browsed the Display's "Screen, zoom and font" section, but it appears as though it's only possible to affect the entire phone's display size.
I'm simply looking to have a larger clock/battery percentage/etc display when glancing at the phone from a distance...
Any insights are appreciated!
Cheers

I don't think is possible unless you have a rooted phone where those options are available also in a custom rom

I see. Thanks for the feedback.

[Q] Additional ways to adjust display colour balance for video playback...?

First off, grovelling apologies for what is probably a painfully newbie-ish question - I am entirely new to Android phones. I have tried searching - came across this thread, for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124669 - but haven't found much in the way of practical solutions yet. This may conceivably be more of an "Android question" than a "Galaxy S2 question" as well, I'm not sure....
Anyway: one of things I use my phone for an awful lot is watching videos. What I'd like to be able to do is get the the display a little closer to a properly callibrated TV - so the whitepoint should be somewhere near D65, proper white balance across the whole grey-scale, the gamma somewhere near 2.2 across the scale, primary colours not too saturated, and so on.
The main problems at the moment seem to be that the white point is pushed quite badly towards the blue, and that the green primary colour is oversaturated (this is in line with the findings in the thread above). So my question is: what can one do about this?
I've investigated the "Display" settings menu, and discovered the "auto-adjust screen power" option which (again, according to the thread above) improves the gamma (reducing black-crush) at the cost of somewhat reducing maximum brightness. I've also spotted the "background effect" option; setting this to "Movie" makes colours a bit less over-saturated, but green saturation still isn't right. And within the standard video-playing application I've got the "colour balance" set to "Warm", which helps with the blue push a little, but not enough.
Are there any other display adjustment/callibration options that I've missed? Are there any apps which allow the display characteristics to be tweaked? And are there any 3rd-party video-playing apps which allow more precise callibration of the overall colour balance without compromising playback performance?

[Q] Is there any way to adjust the dimmer time?

Is there anyway or anything that can allow me to adjust how long the display should stay dimmed.I know that there are plenty of apps that allows u to dim the screen manually but that's not what I'm looking for.
Thanks

[Q] Color adjustment without an app or process running??

Hi all,
I have had my Atrix 2 for nearly a week now, and I am getting used to the Yellow tinted screen, but today I tried an app called "Screen Adjuster" which allows you to adjust the brightness/contrast and RGB values. I adjusted blue to about 10+ and couldn't help but notice how good and even colors look! The white actually looks white. I would love to keep the colors that way permanently.
So the question is, Is is possible to alter some file in Root or do some file replacement and smack that yellow out and off the screen? :fingers-crossed:

Screen Color Temperature and Accuracy

Hello,
I'm just looking for some real user feedback on the display quality, specifically the color temperature / accuracy. Detailed reviews posted outline indicate that the "white point" performance of the G5 is relatively poor, resulting in noticeable blue tint for white backgrounds.
1) I understand that there is some amount of screen adjustment provided by through accessibility settings. Can anyone confirm if this helps to reduce any blue tintedness or if there are other mechanisms to do so?
2) Can anyone just provide feedback on the screen performance in this regard?
Thanks.
I have the unlocked RS988 model, and yes the display is a bit "cool" for my liking. I installed Bluelight Filter and was able to use one of the color filters (brown) set to 8% which has helped.

Any way to change to a proper 720p resolution?

I have tried to lower my resolution to 720p with adb command , but the notch messes up the whole thing and you get black bars around the edges and a big notch like black bar on mid top of the screen , i wonder if there is an exact dpi and resolution for it to fit perfectly.
The best I got was a size of 967x2011 with density of 387. That's still a 19.8% reduction in in number of pixels displayed so I'll try it out. Sill leaves a small sliver of the status bar below the notch visible. Not ideal. I have been looking for a way to reduce status bar height with very little luck.
PS I know this is an old post but hey...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, srahman! Did you have any recent luck? I found this from Saki-EU but I do not know how does it work properly:
