Anyone else bothered by the blocking mode notification icon staying on in the status area even when it's not blocking. Takes up space, makes the notification function less useful as notification is on even when not active so you have to look more carefully to see if there is anything important pending.
Shouldn't it just be on during the blocking mode time periods, and then off when you don't want things blocked?
Anyone have a solution?

Found my own answer. Root the phone, install a custom recovery. That goes with out saying. Then install the Xposed Framework.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Then install the Wanam Xposed module. Dozens of different settings, including this one.
A rooted phone with Xposed running allows you to have the flexibility and power of a customer ROM, while staying on stock.

After searching high and low on Google, I'm unable to find the answer to one question:
How do I remove or hide the system clock in the status bar of my Verizon Galaxy Note 3?
I've already turned off most of the phone's unnecessary bells and whistles, I've deactivated as many unnecessary or unwanted crapware apps as I can, but I can't find a way to perform the simple action of turning the status bar's clock off.
I'm not a rooter, so that isn't an option. I'm hoping that someone can point me towards a well-hidden system setting or a simple app that can get rid of the clock.
Just FYI - I want to get rid of the clock because I don't need it since my Accuweather widget displays the date and time, and I like to keep the status bar as clean as possible. I'm a clean freak when it comes to my computers & devices.
Any suggestions?
If you're not a rooter... you're not a clean freak... :silly:
As much as I'd love to remove every single byte of bloatware and take 100% control over my phone, I don't want to risk being forced to pay full retail for a new device because I bricked the one that I currently own. Therefore, I have to be a "clean freak" within the boundaries and limitations of an out-of-the-box OS installation.
Only way I know of, is with root, xposed framework and wanam xposed.
Well if you use Nova launcher you can completely remove the status bar, or really it's just hidden. However it reappears when going into apps. Here's a pic

This should be an easy fix but I just cant get it so I'm reaching out for help. When I pull down the status bar and look at my quicksettings, the options that are engaged the bottom indicator is blacked out and the options turned off are lit up. It goes away when I try a screenshot so I hope that is clear enough. Now, I know where the problem is, I use Xblast, Wannam, and Gravitybox for different functions. Somewhere I seem to have reversed them. Wannam is the one I use to set the colors to orange. I believe it is turned off in the other apps. Anyone had a similiar problem. Thanks.
This is for CM 11S 4.4.4 Kitkat version - no need to do this on COS 13.1 6.0.1...
Short story on why I need it:
Coming from the SGS4, I got used to my habits and the functionality of the led notification that is being able to continue pulsating, even if my screen was on or I was using my phone.
The necessity derives from the fact I sometimes use my phone in silent mode and while messaging in one app, I receive notifications in another. Without pulsating led notification, I would need to finish w/e I was doing and see the notification above the app icon that received notification. Also cause I have set personalized led colors based on my contacts too, aside per app so it's rather useful to know the person A sent me whatsapp message and not person B etc...
Other times, I would just need it so it stays there for, let's say 5 minutes. Other times, I was simply asking - WTH, if it can work for the battery (without pulsating when charging), why it can not work for whatever app I need it to work?
Seen the One+1 std. functionality is not doing that, aside battery charging, but with fixed light... I searched a bit and found a workaround. Maybe there is a small tiny bit of impact on the the battery, but I could care less.
Disclaimer:
I can not be held responsible in any way for your actions in setting your phone. If you chose to follow this guide, it's your responsibility of what you're doing and of what might happen to your phone.
Requisites:
So to make the notification led working even your screen is lit, and so to continue pulsating when you turn on your screen (within the set timespan) you will need:
1. A rooted One+1 phone
2. CM11S 4.4.4 ANdroid version - xposed is working as it should, is stable and without glitches.
3. xPosed framework - lastest official and stable version (for the moment, consider KK stable ver.) - Be sure to make a system wide nandroid backup before installing xPosed framework.
4. XLED module - download from the modules repository inside xPosed app.
5. Lightflow (maybe other similar apps can fit all the the same, but I use Lightflow) - download from the Play Store, Pro version can set vast majority of apps that has and supports notifications.
Howto:
Assuming you know how to root your phone and what xPosed is and how to manage it (if not, do read some in the dedicated sections or use google)...
1. Install the xLed module, activate it in the xPosed Install app and reboot your phone.
2. Install Lightflow, open it and go to Device Settings and Root, set it up to work in the root mode only, no other settings are needed. Set your per app or per contact notifications as you're pleased.
3. Open the XLED app, check Enable XLED and Screen on LED and close it.
4. Go to your phone settings and turn off battery notification light, turn off custom values under Notification light while leaving the checkmark on Notification light option.
5. Test your notification pulsating from Lightflow app or wait to receive some notification or put your phone on the charger.
Enjoy. :victory:
Note:
I have not touched any other XLED options or set other functionality but what I already wrote, seen how both Lightflow and XLED have some similarities in what they do - I don't want them conflicting by setting the same stuff twice. You are free to try this all out even without Lightflow by setting the XLED only, but my goal was to make custom Lighflow notifications to stick while the screen is lit as I use Lightflow. I achived that and that's how far it goes for me.
Proof:
Sorry for the crappy quality and the pause followed by the cut, my net was lazy...
Good day to ya'all
I would like to hide my status bar within every app (Specifically the browser),yeah i heard a lot about immersive mode, but what it does it also disables the soft keys and keyboard. Which disrupts my workflow. I am currently running Darklord's N5 RC 2.1, and the option to hide the status bar for samsung's internet browser is missing, which is a bit of a downer as my stock lollipop rom had this option, are there any alternatives? I also have a phobia with AMOLED burn ins that is why i would have wanted it to hide the status bar as many times as possible.
Any suggestions?
Hmmm

2. Why not do some searching on your own instead of being impatient and waiting for someone to spoon feed you.
@Dejan Sathanas, ive been looking for a thread, but as stated, I want to know if there are other methods rather than using immersive mode
Hey, try to get xposed for your ROM search a Module named "ImmerseMe". Activate, reboot, enjoy.
Hey this question seems simple initially, but how do you disable SystemUI notifications? I'm talking about that grey notification that shows up on the lower part of your screen right over your keyboard. Whenever I start downloading something or quickly switch apps, it always seems to pop up and display some stupid arbitrary message. It's incredibly ANNOYING when you need to type something quickly and it's covering your keyboard. Does anyone know how to disable this? I've been using Android for over 5 years and I still haven't been able to figure this out lol.
I'm not sure if you're rooted or anything and I haven't tried it directly, but you can try the EnhancedToast Xposed Module. By description, it'll log the messages that display and then you can disable them as you see fit. Give it a look here EnhancedToast I hope this helps!
