Getting rid of key symbol when using a VPN / adblocker - Tasker Tips & Tricks

How can I get rid of the annoying key symbol in the status bar? It appears when I am connected via a VPN, e.g. when I run an ad blocker app (block-this).

ADW.Launcher disable auto-hide

I'm probably just missing something, but where is the option to disable the auto-hide of the notification bar when on the home screen?
Much thanks!
I didn't know there was an auto hide, but if you go to adw settings > screen preferences > hide status bar, you can enable or disable.

also, in older versions a up swipe gesture automatically hid the notification bar. I think they got rid of that as a default though.

It seems like this is what I was doing with my notification bar. I have the latest version though, so this might still be default. Thanks!

There is no real auto-hide.... either show or hide.
Under screen preferences... first option.
Also.... change your swipe up to something else if that what is causing it to hide.

[Q] Data traffic notification

Hi, I was looking for a way to disable the data traffic off notification and I found a xposed module to do that, but now I would like to keep the notification panel expanded when i enable/disable data traffic. it keeps with wifi, bluetooth and all other quick settings, don't know why data traffic just do that.
oh, I am using SystemUI Patcher module to make quick settings looks like old android versions (not separated from notification).

Actually, you can just disable its notification in setting.

Can you elaborate? Where is this option? I couldn't find any and installed the "SemcPhone Patcher" module.

How do I prevent nav bar from overlapping?

I enabled the nav bar via build prop and in most apps it works with no issues but in snapchat it covers the bottom of the app so I can't press in the text field to type. Is there any way around this?
Maybe stop using snapchat? (Joke)

Remove VPN icon from status bar (S10+)

Hello community, is there a way to remove VPN icon from status bar/notification list? I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't work on S10+ and QuickStar (Good Lock) does't have the VPN icon listed in its setting.
Without root I have to use ADGuard (or similar) to remove AD, but they use VPN to filter them. VPN icon is very annoying especially because it's always shown in AOD. Any clue?

I think the best you can do without mods is minimize the notification, which still appears in the list.
Think of it as a status indicator, without it you wouldn't know if you were connected to the VPN right?

I don't think I can minimize such VPN notification. However, it will be always stay on AOD.

Correct, but as I wrote, it's very annoying icon. I'm searching a way, at least, to hide from AOD! ...while waiting for S10 root
You can try AdHell3. I'm using it without any problems and there's no VPN icon, because it doesn't use a VPN.

Yes, already installed, but it doesn't block all ADs, maybe I have to add more domains than the default one. Which domains you use with AdHell3?

I can minimize it on my device. Also, it doesn't show on my AOD screen. Long press the notification and select "details".

Wait, do you mean the ADGuard notification? This can be blocked without issue, I'm referring to VPN notif (the key). I'm not able to remove nor to minimize it.

I just use the hosts file from mmotti's git which was preinstalled. AdHell3 allows just a number of domains and all other lists I tried are exceeding this number.
But I didn't noticed any Ads that weren't blocked - even Google AdSense are getting blocked.
With AdGuard I noticed a mid range battery drain but with AdHell3 not.
Try autonotification from Google Play.
It works for me

No. I'm referring to the system vpn notification. I'm aware of the adguard notification. I've been using it for 4 years
Not sure why you can't. In the notification settings for vpn it allows me to change it to silent n minimized. Don't be fooled by the greyed out slider on the page listing the notifications. Click it to open the options for the notification.

Damn! You're right. I minimized the notification and now there is no more icon on AOD and on status bar, thank you!

could you guide me how to hide the vpn icon with the "autonotification" app?

Would you be so kind to explain how you do it?
Autonotification seems to require the name of the app one wants to block the notifications of. Is there one specific app to mention? Or is it a different kind of setting?
Thanks in advance!
Another thing I've recently stumbled across is called good lock. You can get it from the Galaxy store... it allows you to remove multiple icons from the status bar. Such as Bluetooth, alarm icon, VPN icon. It also allows you to do many other ROM customizations without root.

How to show indicator when NOT connected to Bluetooth or WiFi?

I just upgraded from the S7 to the S10. One thing my S7 did is if I had Bluetooth or WiFi turned on but they were not connected it would show an indicator as such on the top status bar. On the S10 it only shows the indicator if it’s connected.
I’d like the device to show me when Bluetooth or WiFi is turned on but isn’t connected like on the S7. Is there a setting to do that?
Thanks.
You using goodlock? There's an option in there in the status bar plugin.

I installed goodlock and the QuickStar plug-in but I don’t see an option for displaying the icons when not connected.
