Well you might lose some space on the screen.

i don't mind, the iphone has icons that are that size and it works fine.
You can do this, but it would require you to compile from source. I am not experienced enough to walk you through this. I suggest asking cyanogen or enomther.
why would i have to compile from source? theres no xml to edit to just expand the boundaries?

Add apps next to launcher icon

hey again...i swear i'm going to suffocate these boards with 'how to's, hehe
i searched and couldn't find a way to "add" apps next to the launcher/app drawer on the bottom of every screen
can we do this in metamorph? is there another general way of doing it?
thanks!

refer to this, unless you were joking considering how obvious the thread is and searching it would not be hard at all.

Then I'd start learning how to code. It's not something a metamorph could fix easily (Can't just replace a png or something like that).

You cannot do that with standard android launcher, you'll need a custom one like gde,helix, launcherpro, pandahome, etc
adw LAUNCHER (FROM ANDERWEBS) LETS YOU CHOOSE OPTIONS FOR DOCKBAR ON/OFF, LEFT OR RIGHT TAB OR BOTH, TINT OR NO TINT ETC. FLASH FROM ZIP AND ACCESS ADW SETTINGS IN THE HOME SETTINGS TAB.
as an FYI....it just says to flash the file..
so if it works like a rom, i have a telus milestone, which cannot be flashed for roms...
so am I SOL?

There is not an easy way to do it, you must edit framework-res.apk. But you can go to google store and search for notification toggle, there is plenty of apps which support adding your custom picked options in widget form and show the widget in notification area. And then, there is a mod (for stock) which removes original toogle bar, which lets just with your custom one. Try it here . It says that it support V20O, so it should work on v20q also, but I haven`t tried it.
Edit1: Cyanogenmod let˙s you to change toggles directly on the phone.
Edit2: I saw that you are discussing about it in dev section in dj rom... Why did you even post here then...
its a interest question,you now the way in Framework-res.apk
i thing its somewhere in a xml

In the LG P970 (Black), there isn't a Rotation toggle but a Data toggle... maybe you can look into XML of the Black and can compare with our XML
you can use icons from lg p500 android v20e for status bar data icons
PS: search on 4pda.ru for the rom its called SUNFIRE
i hope i helped you

Hide status bar icons?

Is there a way to hide the status bar icons without Xposed? I've searched, but everything I found involves using Xposed.
Thanks

I've been searching as well. I'd really like to get rid of bluetooth, NFC, and the alarm icon.
Exactly the icons I want to remove.

In the past it was possible by editing some of the framework files to remove the icons completely from the library. Finding them can be somewhat time consuming. I'll look into it ... I've promised I'd look into a couple things and just haven't had time yet, busy time of year at work and the desire to get outside before the true summer heat hits has been strong ... but I will get there.
this thread shows you how to get rid of the NFC icon. I'd guess that others can be removed in the same manner

I'm not sure if there are options for the other icons in the CSC file. On other galaxy devices you needed to literally edit the framework files because the icons were hard-coded in there.
Great find though, CSC tweaks are always helpful and everyone should be able to do them.

There is an app call Notifications Off which I used to use but I haven't tried it yet on this phone. Here is the link if you want to try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.NotificationsOff

Yeah, kind of sucks. It hasn't been updated since last year. It used to work great and even allowed different profiles that could be changed with Tasker.
How about hiding the whole status bar? Lol. so you don't see it unless you swipe down. you might need another launcher. Don't know if with touch wiz you can do that.

Touchwiz launcher won't do that but you can do that with a third-party launcher like Nova for example. Another third-party launcher I really like is action launcher 3.
Nova launcher can hide the notification bar. its a great launcher
