Hide signal strength icons? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi,
I suppose there is no way of hiding the two signal strength meters in the status bar without decompiling systemui.app right?
It's so damn annoying having them take up 2 of only 4 available spaces due to the notch!
Or does anyone have a different creative solution for being able to see all my important notifications properly?
This is basically the only thing that really makes me considering rooting.
Cheers,
Olof

Maybe you can try modifying the theme with this

I know you can change the icons there like WiFi ECT I'm not sure if you can remove I have never tried to.

Hi, the better solution I've found is basically a live wallpaper from kwlp (search for it in PlayStore, you'll need the pro version) that shows in a separate row all the notification icons, using some presets that do the job very, very well.
You can make the presets by yourself, of course, but a guy made the hard work for us and some of them are perfect for my daily usage; you can find them by installing the 'Super Notch' app (search for it on Google).
Tell me what you think about it.

This does half the job, it'll remove some icons - leaving just the one in my case:
Pretty sure the details of the below is copied from a couple of places elsewhere on xda at some stage. I've just quickly extracted & converted it to the below from a prior message to a friend. So credit to other xda members!
Two steps - first up enable developer mode so you can access the 'System UI tuner". In most other android phones this adds a shortcut to your settings somewhere, but for the Mate 20 Pro as far as I know you have to create a special shortcut.
To enable dev mode :
Step 1 : Go to Settings.
Step 2 : Find and open "System" option.
Step 3 : Select "About phone".
Step 4: Tap "Build number" seven times you will see a prompt “You are now a Developer!“.
Step 5: Back to System panel where you can see the "Developer options", select it.
& just make sure the 'Developer options' toggle is 'on'
You'll probably spend a minute browsing all the fun new options inside Dev mode.
Then, to access the UI tuner, this is the bit that I know how to do with Nova Launcher, but might be different for other launchers...
...if you aren't using Nova I see no reason why you couldn't switch to it temporarily to finish the setup...
>>Open the Nova Launcher settings.
>>Go to gestures & input.
>>Tap Home button.
>>Tap Shortcuts.
>>Tap Activities.
>> Scroll down and tap on System UI.
>> Scroll and tap demo mode.
>>Tap the home shortcut at the bottom 3 button screen.
>>Then tap the home button again. System UI tuner will pop up as an icon/shortcut.
Shortcut is called 'Demo mode'. You can then click on it to get the System UI Tuner. 'Status Bar' options, toggle off any you don't want in the status bar..
I've turned off Wifi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data.
I also tend to use this with other Android phones to force the battery percentage to show next to the battery icon, but if I recall correctly that's already an option that Mate 20 Pro has elsewhere.
Hope that helps.
