I have rooted, de-bloated, and installed an LED notification manager, which has made my phone nearly perfect. The only lagging issue is the overly busy Status/Notification bar and drop-down. Things I would like to change:
Status Bar
- remove AM/PM from the clock
- remove NFC icon when active
- change battery status to something that takes up less space, the default is icon AND percentage. I'd ideally love to use the Circle Battery Mod.
Drop Down
- remove the brightness slider
- remove the "s finder" and "quick connect" buttons.

Hi,
to remove the s finder and qucik connect button, you have to open the build.prop file ( \root\system\build.prop ) with a text editor from your root explorer
(backing up the file would be a good idea)
search the line "ro.product.name=zeroflteXXX" and replace it with
"ro.product.name=zerofltevzw"
restart your phone an it's gone
that's how it worked on my stock rom.
I did this to remove the brightness slider, connect your phone to computer and with ADB
adb shell settings put system notification_panel_brightness_adjustment 0
reboot.

you can do this in the CM7 ROM, you can bind long press menu, search or home button to toggle the status bar
Thanks kesongpinoy,
without CM7,
1. I found that Gemini Task manager Freezes/Block the Status bar module.
2. And now, install Super status bar, with alpha 0, and you're done
I have the Power Toggles app with a list of toggles in the pull down status bar and a battery indicator on the status bar itself. Now normally in previous version of android, the battery indicator and toggles always takes highest precedence, ie the battery indicator will always be on the leftmost of the status bar and the toggles always on the top of the pull down.
Now with lollipop, I noticed that when a new message or email comes in, this new notification will temporarily take precedence over my toggles and indicator, so the message will be leftmost and topmost. I'll have to pull down the status bar before it switches to a position lower than my toggles.
It may not sound like a big problem but it is annoying to me. Is there any way to make my toggles be leftmost and topmost always?
I'm trying to get the AOSP battery icon instead of the Sony one. I've tried GravityBox, which works to add the AOSP icon, but Sony's one is still there. I know I can disable it in settings but it still shows on the lock screen and when the notification pane is down. Is there any other way to change/remove Sony's battery icon?
Not Optimal... But it works!
So I am figuring you are trying to do this because you got gravity box and when you apply a battery icon it adds it alongside the stock one but doesn't replace it... So there three easy steps to get rid of it! First of all in the settings search for personalization, system icons and untick battery... this will get rid of the battery in the status bar when it is NOT pulled down; then go to the xposed app and download a module called clean lock screen, activate it and tick the option for the removal of the status bar icons... this will get rid of it in the lock screen BUT it will also remove the gravity box one and the WiFi and data signal icons... and lastly, download a module from the xposed installer called android N-ify, this will add some awesome features like the double-tap recents to go to last applications and yata yata but most important thing is that this will customize your notification and quick toggle panel and it by default hides battery... so reboot and your stock battery should be successfully hidden!! I know your question is kinda old by now but I just got back to stock marshmallow in my z3 and was struggling with this same exact problem and this was the best solution I was able to find for this!
Hello,
I use an app called Display Brightness which allows me to toggle the brightness instantly with an overlay bar in the notification bar. I just installed it onto my S8+ and it doesn't appear within that notification bar, it displays it just under it which kind of ruins any apps that require text input at the top (which seems to be a lot).
Is there any reason for this? Or is there any alternative app which allows instantly display toggle from the notification bar?
Thanks

Look at screenshots attached.
This is what i use
One app is called Lux Dash (Play Store)
Other snapshot is an app Shortcutter ((Play Store)
It might give you some idea what to do.
The built-in brightness bar can even be shown just above the notification bar, without having to expand the quick settings panel.
And apparently in the future Android O the TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be deprecated and apps overlaying the status bar will no longer work.

Please delete this post, it duplicated for some reason after editing
Hmm that's disappointing that they are going to make this feature obsolete, this app has been by far the most useful ever, oddly, when I restart the S8, the brightness toggle overlay does appear in the notification bar but then after a few minutes, it appears further down again as shown in the screen shot.
This screen shot shows the S7 toggle bar working perfectly
This screen shot shows the S8 working less perfectly lol
I understand the default one can show at the top of the notifications bar but that requires the drawer being pulled down doesn't it? This app allows toggle immediately from the top of the phone on any app etc without any further touch
