[Q] Any way to make status bar longer / wider to show more icons / notifications ?

Hi guys,
Is there any way to make our status bar longer / wider ? It really irritates me that some notifications do not show up on the status bar (like GMail, Facebook, Tapatalk etc.), because there are other apps occuping the place in status bar permanently (like CPU Usage Monitor, Battery Indicator Pro, Tasker or Avast! Mobile Security). So sometimes if I don't catch the notification sound I can't tell there is new email, facebook event or tapatalk post just by looking at the screen. I need to click on the status bar to see all the notifications. I turned off permanent notifications for some programs like Tasker or Avast, but this way they are not prevented to be killed by internal task manager. Taking into consideration the fact that status bar occupies only small part of the screen I would say it is a huge waste of space. Is there any way to hack it and make it longer / wider to display more icons / notifications ? My HTC Sensation shows more icons in the status bar and it has this nice arrow sign to indicate there are additional notifications. Here we don't have such indicator.

I'm not absolutely sure about the stock ROM -- although I think I do know and that the answer should be in the negative -- but on CM10, for example, there is an option to display the number of open notifications in the task bar. I haven't tested it so far -- if I remember to, I will give it a shot and report back in.
Bottom line: probably on a custom ROM.

Removing One of the Signal Icon on statusbar of Z5 Dual

Is there any Xposed module or any mods that can remove one of the Signal Icon of my Xperia Z5 Dual?
I only want One signal Icon to display in my statusbar.
Thank you in Advance!

System UI Tuner
Hey there,
I was looking for the same thing, however didn't find a solution.
Still I found an interesting alternative.
Pull down your statusbar twice so you see the "gear" for the settings.
Tipp and hold the gear until the gear starts spinning (some seconds). Then you activated "System UI Tuner"
You can add now the signal icon for the active data connection into the quick settings.
Also you now remove the signal icons from the status bar.
Unfortunately you only can remove both at a time. You also can remove others in this menu.
Hope that helps ^^

Removing icons from the statusbar......how?

Is there a way to remove/hide icons in the statusbar area, i.e. the power saving icon, data saver icon, etc.
I'm rooted and have xposed installed.

Just get System UI Tuner from the Play Store, and select which icons you do/don't want to appear on the status bar.

How to prevent an app from hiding most of the notification bar ?

Hello, some apps hide most of the notification bar, with only battery and time visible, is there a way to force them to show the rest or at least the wifi signal ? My phone is on android 4.1.2.
