So I just updated to .386 via OTA.
Upon reboot I tinkered with the settings>display>system icons and ended up keeping them all on as they were (screenshot attached.)
Anyway after this, automatically appears a 'rotation system icon' like magic. It disappears when I turn rotation to on. When set to off the icon appears (screenshot attached.)
I dont like this, and I assume this is not normal behaviour, I must have unlocked it when switching on and off the system icon tick box list. Annoyingly.
Can anyone advise how I might reverse or remove this icon...
It's the default behavior, but you can remove in the System UI Tuner.
To enable System UI Tuner, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds (it will start to turn/rotate). Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.” And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner.
Inside it, you will be able to remove some Status Bar icons.

Does anyone know how to disable the messages that overlay the time/battery display in the bottom right corner? I find it really annoying that when I'm updating my apps and I want to open a previous notification I have to wait for the "installing" popup to disappear and it seems to take forever. I still want the icon notifications at the side of the clock but without the intrusive overlay popups. Thanks =]
just click the black part of the task bar when it says installing, and the message will go away
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
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.
Thanks
Just get System UI Tuner from the Play Store, and select which icons you do/don't want to appear on the status bar.
No particular reason, but i just don't want it there.
okay, so there's is this edit option on the status bar, click that and from there you can modify it, simply drag the hotspot icon from top to the bottom where the rest of options like Cast etc are present, for custom roms it will be the edit option and for MIUI it will be the more option.
hit thanks if works !!
Does anyone know how to show the battery level next to the bluetooth icon on the status bar? It worked fine on my old OnePlus 5T phone with the same devices I use to connect on the Xperia 5 II.
Additionally, how do we enable System UI Tuner? When I tap and hold on the settings cog in the notifications panel, nothing happens!
Hi, if it's any like my xperia 5mk1 then I'm afraid you won't be able to se battery level next to the bluetooth icon on the status bar. However you can see battery level of Bluetooth device on the Bluetooth toggle if you just half swipe down notifications shade.

I'm sure you've found this yourself but in the case of the System UI Tuner try these options. I used the Nova Launcher method
Enable System UI Tuner on Android 11 and 10
System UI Tuner is gone from Android 11 and 10? Long-pressing config gear gives no effect? You no longer can control what (and how) is displayed in your status bar in Android device? Well… no…
