Not sure if this really counts as a "guide", but figured I'd post it here.
When you turn on the High Performance mode, there will be a permanent notification which can't be removed by the usual means.
However, after playing around a bit, I found a solution to hide it for good:
1. Turn on High Performance mode
2. When the notification pops up, long press/swipe it so the snooze option is available
3. Snooze the notification
4. Toggle High Performance mode off and on again
This is what I did and the notification is gone for good and the phone is in high performance mode, so no more clogging up your lock screen or your notification bar :good:
EDIT: Since the June Security Patch, they've allowed you to just swipe away the notification so no need to bother with these steps
I got the Samsung S10 plus rather to notification I got the icon. it's a battery icon with a speedometer. it goes away if I put in a different battery optimization mode but when I turn it back the high performance it goes right back.

If there is any apps that give this option or anyway to do it without to much modding I would greatly appreciate the info! Im stock rooted with FK no roms and dont really want to have Roms yet (waiting on full PA) I would really just like the quick option of pulling down the notification window and change brightness and be done instead of clicking through buttons to get to a slider or clicking through brightness profiles ala Power toggles which can be clunky.

Well, not sure what you would consider too much modding. I'm stock rooted with stock kernel. The only tool I ever need is Xposed Framework + Gravity Box. It's super easy to do what you are looking for with regards to brightness in the status bar. In fact, it's even easier because you don't even have to pull down the notification bar. There's a setting in Gravity Box that allows you to just slide you finger along the status bar (without having to pull it down), and you can adjust your brightness quickly. I use this instead of auto-brightness, and it works flawlessly.

Yea I dont really know about xposed and all that Ive heard it can drain battery depending on modules and all that or in general. Maybe im wrong but even then not to sure about it. And there is an app that can do what you described but its not what im looking for because I can accidentally trigger it when pulling down notifications so I ditched it. Id rather have a brightness bar in the notification shade.

Ah. I see. Maybe something like this would help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49741707#post49741707? It's post #30 on that page. rootSU says he uses it with great success.
And for what it's worth, I don't see any significant battery drain from using Gravity Box. For example, I don't charge my phone overnight. So during that 9-hour period that my phone is "asleep," it only drains about 2-3% at the most. I have enabled quite a few mods using it as well. I'm thinking the people that see drastic drain are running another app that is keeping the phone awake, or something specific in Gravity Box that keeps the phone awake, or wakes it up often (something like keep the last screen on your phone queued up so when you put the phone to sleep, then wake it up later, the same screen will appear).
I love how the s6 gets extremely bright in direct sunlight with the auto brightness boost, but I wish there was a way to have this boost whenever I wanted. Any way to do this yet?
I may be missing something, but I don't know how it could automatically increase when you wanted, so you must mean manually doing it, so you'd just pull down your notification bar and manually adjust the brightness, right? You might use something like Trigger or Tasker to have a few quick buttons to hit for different brightness levels or something like that.
Pull down notification bar. Uncheck Auto at the end of brightness slider.
Just because I turn off the Battery Percentage on the Status Bar doesn't mean that I don't want to see it via Always On Display. Seems silly not to create a separate option for it under AOD Options.
Anyone notice this or find a way to get past it?
The AOD battery symbol does look pretty lame without the percentage next to it.
I couldn't find any way to bypass it either.
Have they fixed this yet. Great question op
Can anyone else confirm that turning on the notch drastically increases the brightness of the notifications in the notifications panel. It also increases the brightness of the status bar icons. I am a visully impaired individual and use dark theme for everything and the increased brightness in notifications is making me dizzy Everytime I pull the status bar. When I open the keyboard, the brightness for the keyboard also jumps to the extreme. Anyone else having this problem?
Only fix I have found is to turn off the notch, but I bought this phone for the notch, so there is no point in turning it off for me.
Any suggestions?

I do not seem to have any problems like this on my phone. You should probably rush to the service centre as soon as possible to fix because in longer period it will burn your oled panel.

This is normal, and it is because the darker icons prevent burn-in
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.
