I assume this would be appropriate in the development forum, move it if it isn't.
Would it be possible to replace notification icons (one at a time) using root explorer in r/w mode? It seems that if you find an icon that you would prefer, name it exactly as the one that is being replaced, then remove the old one from framework-res.apk/res(whatever you are replacing), and paste the new one there, it would work. Right?
Should this be done on a "test" ROM using a PC, then flashed to the Aria? Would those paths be available if you navigated into the ROM using Windows Explorer?
I have used the UOT kitchen, but I don't want entire icon sets. If I select them individually, would they replace only those that are of identical notification value? Would it replace the BT connected icon with comprable icon, but only that icon, leaving the rest of the stock Sense set intact?
I am also interested in replacing notification icons that are packaged in Tasker. I would do the same process, navigating into that app. Should I try this or is it known to be impossible?

What ROM are you using? I did exactly what you described on CM6.1, replacing some status bar icons with their Sense equivalents.
I was even able to replace some notification icons in apps such as Music, Gmail, Email, etc.
I used Theme-Pro to do it and pushed all changes to phone in Recovery mode:

I'm a big fan of the many ADB "helper" applications on XDA, search around.
Tyr it, if you make a Nandroid backup, you've got nothing to lose, right?
HI to all, i found the way to make visible the nfc icon on lollipop. First u need to be rooted and second u need to modify the build.prop file under system. U can see the immage attached!!! That's all. Reboot device and the icon appear when u turn it on!!! :sly:
It's funny. My 6903 always show NFC icon whenever the function is turned on, either rooted or not. Lolipop 5.02 FW 242
Mine shows the icon too when nfc is active.
So only mine no show icon? Thank you anyway. Hope to be useful to anyone...
Why would you want to have more icons in the statusbar? The first thing i do when installing a new rom is to make sure to get rid of that hideous icon.
Some customizations have NFC icon enabled others don't
The default theme for me is displaying the NFC icon without I do anything.
I have Spanish generic and the icon it's not showed.
I am looking for a way to ONLY add the flashlight custom toggle seeing as most of the other extra toggles do not function properly, and flashlight is the only one I was really interested in anyway.
If I am understanding correctly, I can not simply add the flashlight line in the toggles list, as its not a truly supported functionality. Modifications must be made to the Settings apk.
The currently flashable extra toggles available for OptimalROM/BSFree Stock ROM are identical, so I was wondering if I can edit the script to only include the flashlight modification.
Now that we have root is there a way to hide some of the status bar icons? Like system UI tuner does on the Nexus devices...

This is still only possible with Root, correct?
Been looking around all afternoon, and seems like there was something called System Tuner UI, but was removed on Samsung S7 devices (probably all Sammy phones).
p.s.
I have a AT&T S7 Edge, but I doubt that will affect the answer(s)
Nova will do it.

True. It will do it on your home screens, but not within other apps.

Yeah Xposed requires root
There is an app called Notify Box that I have been using. It groups selected status bar notifications together and puts them in one drop down box that you can then delete or view. It seems to work pretty well.
Just found this in an LG group, "adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,bluetooth,mobile" etc. No root required, just a working adb setup and developer options.
Partial list is;
cast
hotspot
bluetooth
zen (do not distrub icon)
alarm_clock (alarm icon)
managed_profile (work profile icon)
wifi
ethernet
mobile (mobile data icon)
airplane
nfc
I'm still looking for the name of the download booster icon

This worked great. I did
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,nfc,bluetooth
Unfortunately the NFC icon stayed but the alarm clock and bluetooth are gone so anything is a huge improvement. Now I just need to figure out the names for the volte and rcs icons from rooting. I tried
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,nfc,bluetooth,volte,rcs
but neither went away. Either way thank you.
Hi, I tried that with alarm_clock but unfortunately I got an white square icon stead :silly:
This worked for me to disable the Alarm and Bluetooth icons. Thanks for the share!

Not sure if you figured this out already but the white rectangle icon that appears is actually the "rotate" so add that to your list
nfc for us on Samsung is nfc_on
You can disable the battery icon but still have "show percentage" on in settings so no icon but still charge percentage.
I've been adding and removing frequently but here is my current disable list
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,alarm_clock,rotate,battery,location,nfc_on
Hello,
Were you able to figure out the name of the Data boost icon? I like to have that turned on, I just cant stand seeing the icon.
Thanks,
Z

First of all, English is not my primary language, so there might be some spelling/grammar mistakes ahead...
My device:
Samsung galaxy s7 edge (Exynos | SM-G935F)
- Android 6.0.1
- GoodLock UI installed
- Rooted
- Xposed framework installed
- TWRP recovery
Question 1:
Is it possible to only make the edge panel visible when accessing it?
To be more precise: Normally, when opening an edge panel by swiping, the panel shows up with the rest of the screen getting blurred. A settings kog and some text also appears on the screen next to the actual panel. I would like the rest of the screen to stay normal and only see the panel itself, without blur or extras. Is there some mod that allows me to achieve this? Is there an alternative app that i could use to replace Samsung's edge panels?
Question 2:
I'd like to remove two specific icons from my status bar that i just don't want to be there. The icons i'm referring to are the VoLTE icon and the Vibrate/Mute icon. I installed some apps that claim to be able to remove them but they don't seem to work. Disabling VoLTE completely would get rid of that icon, but i want to keep that active.
Thank you for your help and time
