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.

Recently I've becoming more and more disappointed with the system bar on my transformer. As you know, there are only 5 "slots" for notification icons to show up despite the large amount of real estate available. With my sd card in and my keyboard docked much of this is taken up my nonimportant icons. Is there a mod available that either increases the number of system bar icons or lets you block certain things from showing up?
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,

I just used system ui tuner to remove some of the icon clutter in the status bar so it can actually display some notifications, but they only appear on the left side of the notch. The only icons i couldnt remove with system ui tuner were the signal strength and HD/VOLTE (so i just disabled it all together).
In the screenshots you can see I have more notifications than what is actually displayed even though there is additional space on the right of the notch. Is there a way to display notifications icons to the right of the notch?
Google, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the status bar clock has to be on the left side because of phones with a selfie camera notch at the top. I have such a phone, a OnePlus 6T, but I always have enough free space on the right side of the status bar, but not enough on the left side. With the clock there is only space for four icons, which, on the left side, is not enough. There is no overflow into the free space to the right of the notch, the clock does not move into free space, there is no second row, there is apparently no solution.
I have not found any direct way to move the clock anywhere else, but there is a workaround, provided your phone allows you to remove the status bar clock altogether. On the OnePlus 6T, probably on all phones with OxygenOS, and hopefully in many other phones, you can switch off the clock display with a command similar to: Settings, Display, Status bar, Time, Don't show this icon.
But I always need a clock somewhere, and this is the second part of the workaround. Luckily there is an app, made by Wansoft in South Korea, named "Always on top clock and memo" or, short, "Time and Memo". This app can place a digital time display and a host of other things almost anywhere on screen. I chose to have just a small time display centered directly under the notch.
I chose text size 16 pt, black, not translucent, without any decorations, on a white, slightly translucent background, which I can recommend for a first try. The app offers a wide variety of display options.
Obviously the app needs the right to display over other apps, which you have to grant.
I hate the "Apple" Pie clock on the left. It's NOT a notification. That's where notifications go.
