Hi
i did a search but cant seem to pin a how too
I want to be abled to always show even if status bar is transparent over top of a game playing so I can see what the wifi and battery is doing
I know can slide finger down. but it auto hides..
1) how can you change the time out of that
2) turn it auto hiding again..even if its finger swipe up
I search xposed modules but onyl found one that changes colour of clock and adds battery percentage
but nothing there to always show e.g. in full screen
if theres a module or app that edits build pro easily so can turn off and on would be great
cheers
I found a app.. but makes background solid its better then nothing
but thought xposed would have a option like this and choose transparent or own colours

dont worry I found using the app below to turn it off and on when need and xposed module
Force Translucent KitKat and tick status but leave nav bar untick did the job!
does the trick.. now no black background but see through so it dont hide the
scores etc behind the status bar

UPDATE--- found a better module for xposed but have to pay $3 for pro version
has a pop out you can enable to customise transparency and color for status bar
flat style colored bars
bonus is I can make the nav bar solid color like black with white font instead
of see through when swiping to bring up over top of a game
Hi,
I'm using official Lineage 16 on a Lenovo P2.
Can anyone tell me what this small circle in the notification bar means?
It isn't always in the same place, and sometimes it's merged into the LTE icon, although the circle still appears when mobile data and wifi are off.
I'm baffled.
Cheers, Simon.

I am currently in MiUI 12 and I realized that in the status bar it does not show more than 3 icons followed by the 3 points when you have more and I feel that it is not useful since we do not have any notch or hole on the screen, it is possible in any hidden settings activate so that more can be seen?
I never realized this is what was happening!
I thought the dot was some weird icon! Yeah, that is silly on their part!
In Develop Options > Display cut-out, you can choose different notch views, the status bar changes, but dunno if this is the solution.

If I'm not talking nonsense, Xiaomi already had this way of displaying icons in the status bar, long before hole / notch phones existed.
My Mi4c (2015) worked this way
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.
while i swipe down my status bar , the keys and notification are seen properly but behind that the screen turns white.
while i swipe down my status bar , even though my auto rotation is off , the status bar rotates automatically when i rotate my phone (this annoys my when i use my phone while sleeping)
As soon as i swipe up the status bar it goes to normal.
I even saw the Display Over apps and picture in picture , pop ups , quick ball settings. all are turned off. but still this issue persist. Done resetting / formatting/wiping/changing rom etc...
