Hi,
I just upgrade my OPO to stock CM12 and rooted. I had set my DPI to 400 but I realised that the Icon Label on my home screen and drawer got cut off. For instance, "Adobe Acrobat DC" it is only shown as "Adobe A.." and I went on to adjust the text size under setting, display & lights but in order to show the full sentence, the text size will become so small that I can't read it anymore.
Is there way to display the label in full length but in 2 lines instead of 1 line? I don't rem having such a problem when I was on stock CM11S rooted.
Any good solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I have a rooted Nexus 7 2013. Is there a way I can permanently remove the top status bar? Also, when the device starts up, I launch an application but for a split second I get a full white screen before application loads. At first I thought it was my wallpaper but I've set a full black background wallpaper. So I am thinking is there a way to set background colour to black too? I want to prevent that bright white background that displays for a split second while an application is starting.
Is there a way to change the color of the status bar icons yet?
The stock white is killing me, My eyes are not what they use to be. In past phones I had changed them to a bright green which was easy to read.
I would also be happy If I could make those icons larger somehow.
I also have a hard time seeing the notifications on my lock screen, Larger text would be great.
One would think Android would give us an option for visually impaired just like they did for the hearing impaired
Thanks
You could go to settings -> display -> zoom screen and font
There you can change the size of things on your screen, and make fonts bigger.
Thanks, I just tried that, it doesnt change the size of the status bar nor the lock screen notifications
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
I have a formerly mysterious notification dot on the status bar. I figured out what it was for when I was investigating why the wifi and data icons weren't appearing. The notification dot indicates that there are other icons that it can't show because (I guess) it thinks it doesn't have enough room. For some reason the OS is only allowing a very small portion of the status bar to be used(see screenshot) . Why? Is there a de-clutter setting I need to turn off somewhere? Is there any way to fix this? Is this an Android 10 issue or a LineageOS 17.1 issue?
If you want details of my investigation, ok: In the status bar settings when I disable the mobile data icon, the notification dot disappears and the wifi icon appears. When I disable the wifi icon, the alarm icon replaces the notification dot. When I move the clock to the left side or the center, the alarm and wifi icons appear. When I go into the clock settings and turn off the alarms, the notification dot is replaced with the wifi icon. But the alarm clock icon wasn't showing before I turned the alarms off. In between the disabling, what was previously disabled was re-enabled.
What idiot programmer thought it would be a good idea to have a notification dot appear in the status bar and not tell you what it means? When you google Android status bar notification dot, nobody has any idea what it means. The only answer I found is from someone who figured out what it was indicating for them (different than what was indicating for me) by investigating like I did. There's no general documentation, but even if there was, it wouldn't do you any good unless it told you where to go to view notification dot messages. I assume there is no such place.

I believe I have also seen it... LOS 17 on Moto Edge.
I think I figured out what the problem is. First here's an explanation of how the Status & Notification bar works from here:
The status bar and the notification bar are very similar, but in reality, they are two different things. The status bar is located at the top of the display, on the right. This is where you will see things like the current time, battery status, and current connections (Bluetooth, cellular network, and Wi-Fi). The Notification bar, on the other hand, is located on the upper left side, where you'll find app icons to alert you to new messages, updates to the Play Store, and other notifications.

It looks like the OS is allocating way to much space to the left side so the right side doesn't have enough space to display its icons. I assume its actually LineageOS doing this, not Android.
This is a known gripe for certain people. It's androids attempt to plan for folks with holepunch and notch cutouts. At default zoom settings you can fit maybe 4 or 5 notifications as well as your clock and status indicators before you're full.
This is compounded by the fact that some apps (mostly messaging apps, text, telegram, gmail) respect this and will show one icon to illustrate that you have unreads, which you can then expand to see all of your various chats/emails. Other apps (looking at you youtube) will show an individual icon for every single notification. 5 unseen videos because you're at work? I guess we don't really need to know about literally any other notification we've gotten.
The best solution I've found is to set a custom dpi so that the screen is as small as is still usable, and to install gravitrybox. It comes with a setting where it will try to increase the amount of notification icons you can view. (in my case its about 9)

The notification side isn't the problem. That side is empty most of the time for me, but I'll try gravitybox.

looks to me like your time font is a tad large.
besides that, seems to be the same issue. android/lineage is trying to prevent the notification bar from becoming cluttered, but it is being way too aggressive.

I didn't do the custom dpi setting, but I did do the GravityBox setting(which I think only effects the status side) and now all of the icons are showing.
The version that LSPosed installed wasn't working. It was saying: "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting" while the module was trying to load. I had to install the latest version(which LDSposed notified me of but wouldn't download or install) from GitHub. I had to reboot for it to take effect.
Back in time with my old Oneplus 7 Pro I could change the text size in the statusbar by changing the ''display size'' to larger in the display settings, it's not the case with my s22u
So will it enlarge the statubar text on pixel 7 pro?
Yes it will, same section under Settings. Display/Display size and Text.
