So far, I have enabled 4 way reboot. everything seems to be fine so far. I'm on the supplied stock rom. Taking this slowly as I do not want to encounter something I can't repair. As knox is tripped, you know the rest...
also I have reduced dpi to 300 from standard 320. Will try 280
Charlie
update, 280 seems fine as well...
obviously root is needed
Reducing the dpi scales the fonts and other ui elements down, right? Could you show a screen shot?

It does. However, you need to be careful as to how low (small) you want things to be. Proceed slowly and reboot frequently, as this is a new devise and we do not know the limits of the os. If you crash it, your only recourse will be odin; and sometimes it doesn't work
Can't post a screen shot now as I'm preparing for tomorrow's classes...When I get a chance, I will though

I've been trying to customize the quick settings section of the notification shade using wanam but haven't had luck getting all components to change colors. The light background of the volume control seems to be tied to a variable not in the theme section as is the green indicators (the color I hate most on the quick settings tiles).
270 DPI is an excellent resolution. See mine below. PLENTY of real estate on that screen now! Oh yeah. And still got room for more.
A good app that I've tested and used is: jrummy app called "ROM toolbox Pro" however only for changing the DPI. Usually I just edit the build.prop file as well too. Xposed installer using the module "App settings" works perfectly to do this.

Hello,
I am a newb in the whole android community (1 month use, but i am a quick learner).
I have already rooted my SGNP and I am trying to research more about what i can and what i can NOT configure in my Note Pro.
For example, thanks to your post here I learned that someone else tried to install Xposed with the Wanam module.
I search a lot for more post of this kind and came up with almost nothing so thats why i think that it will be much appreciated if there will be more sharing of experienced SGNP users of Xposed modules that are safe to use.
I think that my main concern is the lack of understanding about compatibility between other android devices. For example: Can i search for a specific module and find that it works on Galaxy Note 3 and know that it will also work on my Note Pro?
If anyone can help more with links for:
SGNP apps for rooted device
SGNP Xposed modules
SGNP custom ROMs
SGNP Bloatware system apps that can be uninstalled
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Ray
Primarily what I look for when installing Xposed modules on my Note Pro is feedback in both the description in Xposed Installer for the module and in the XDA support thread for that module on whether or not it's compatible with Touchwiz. If either sources say to stay away I heed that warning.
I'd say if you're unsure of compatibility of a module it doesn't hurt to ask here to see if anyone else has installed it.
As far as bloatware removal I've been hesitant to do so; I've frozen a bunch of things but the only applications/services that I've deleted outright is Knox related ones since freezing those would not stop their services from loading up as cached apps. My issue with trying to uninstall things is I don't want to have to rebuild all of my customizations if I have to factory reset, nor do I want to take the time to do nandroid backups prior to every tweak just to see if the tweak works.

Did u try installing a custom keyboard after dpi change, like smartkeyboard pro or any other?
Question: I've made the DPI 270 and the icons are indeed a bit smaller, however now I have a large dead space at the bottom of the screen and also the homescreen. Is there any way to extend the Grid or something? I know the area is usable because I've used Nova and Apex and can use the entire screen, but I'm trying to use the TW Launcher. Screenshot attached.

As the expression goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks . . TW launcher may have the new magazine UX feature but as far as custom grid sizes to leverage more screen space you're SOL. Switch to Nova or Apex or some other custom launcher.

Replacement of the standard ICS launcher. As other alternatives it is fully based on the ICS standard launcher but has some extra options, like:
* Alternative top bar with a some handy options
* Option to turn the top bar off and create a clean desktop with 5 scaled desktop rows.
* two extra page transition effects: tablet "window wall" transitions, like on the current honeycomb tablets, and "stack" animations (same animation as the one that is used in the drawer)
The list will be growing and growing. I started this just for fun. Suggestions and requests are welcome and appreciate it.
Changelog
Beta 1 Initial release
Beta 1.01:
New animation effects for desktop page transitions:
"Card off Stack" effect (like the drawer)
"Tablet effect" - Like on Android 3.0+ Tablets
New plans
Manual
The settings can be found in the upper right corner of the drawer ("OPTIONS")
Happy new year!

Installer for installing the app in the system directory is included (together with an uninstaller)
Dl'n now. Anything by the team that brought us thumb keyboard is going to great.

Amazing work looks great^^
As far as suggestions are needed, I would love to see new homescreen transitions^^
especially I would like the appdrawer effect on my homescreens^^
Looks good! For features I would suggest circular scrolling and being able to resize any widget, which would be some of my most missed features from other launchers.
very nice idea.
for the top bar i'd say get rid of the calender link and instead when you press the date, have that go to the calender.
maybe make the left a search or voice actions link.
as far as other suggestions, i suggested this in nova and got ignored.
if possible, i think it would be awesome to get the tablet homescreen transition working on a phone.
I like adjustable columns and rows. I set it high so I have more precise control over widgets. I also use Android Widgets Pro for twitter and Facebook. The more column/rows the more that is visible on screen.

Tablet (honeycomb) transition is working (not full screen yet).. will add it as an experimental option in the version I will upload later today.
Great suggestions for the top bar. My plans are to make that top bar highly customizable. Which means, amonst others, that users will be able to put all kind of shortcuts on it.

Since you started by changing the top bar, why not name this Top Launcher? Has a nice ring to it, is marketable and less generic than Home Launcher.

Oh I can't see it on the Nexus S..
Unlike Nova this launcher works really well actually with the Nexus S and looks really good on it but I just can't change the options..
Do you have any plans to make it compatible with it? Thank you!
I do have a problem
I want to install your launcher, but I just cant find it. I used your market link, but it says, that it isnt compatible with any of my devices. Looking for Home Launcher in the market doesnt give me your launcher either
could you maybe upload the apk? or something else? I really dont know, why it doesnt work.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2. Is the version a problem?

That's great news! I didn't test it on a hdmi device but tried to be as general as possible.
Why can't you change the options? Don't you see the menu item on the top of the drawer. It's above the tabs. You should see APPS and WIDGETS on the right and OPTIONS on the left.

I've set it to sdk 15 (4.0.3) and above. I know it crashes on version 4.0.1 and I assume it will also FC on 4.0.2
Nevertheless I will try to get a version out that would be compatible with 4.0.1 and above. With the new market system that would be no problem.

Hello!
I'm an Android developer and I almost finished a new app called Deskbar Launcher.
I created it for many reasons. First I was fed up by the look of the system bar with Home/Back/Recent Apps and the huge waste of space it makes. Like many others I tried alternative solutions like HideBar and the likes but then I looked at my laptop and at its ribbon bar which I use all the time and I thought it would be a good idea to have something similar on Android.

Features :
-can replace your soft buttons (sadly Back button needs root, after lots of search I don't think it is possible otherwise)
-add shortcuts to your favorite apps on the bar
-music controllers to go to pause/go to next/previous song in any apps
-volume controllers
-lock button to minimize accidental input of your bar and soft buttons
-access all your apps in StartMenu as well as categories such as Pictures, Music, Settings, etc.
-(experimental)(ROOT)fullscreen mode.
Future features:
-Folders
-Themes
-Reboot button for root users
-etc
I developed it mainly on Nexus7, that's why I post here before releasing it on the Play Store. It is a Trial version of 10days and when you launch it you need internet access for verification, after it's not necessary except if you reload it. A licence key will soon be available.
There might be some bugs!
Questions
Q:I don't have Root and not having a back button is not possible for me, it seems I can't use your app.
Q:I already got rid of my system bar, it will cover screen content so it's not usable for me too.
A: You can! Deskbar Launcher has an autohide feature so you can still access your back button. Bring it up only when it's needed!
Q: I have one bar for soft buttons and notifications (no status bar on top) . Your app will cover the notification part and I won't be able to access my notifications
A. There is a setting especially for that so the Deskbar takes only half your device's width, in the future the width of Deskbar might be more customizable.
Q : Can I use it on my other tablet/phone ?
A. Yes! It is theoretically compatible with all 2.2 or + Android devices! There might be some problems on specific rom or with some manufacturers. Please report to me in this case.
i'll try and report,i haven't mean exactly what does (using it is more intuitive!)
thanks for now mate!
Will be testing this for sure!
Edit
Light usage so far
Pros:
- Quick easy access to your music, photos, and documents
- Completely changes look and feel of the bottom nav bar without need for root or new ROM
- can view and switch to apps of your choice quickly with out exiting current app
- in-depth settings with good amount of customization
- work around for non-rooted users
Cons:
- visual appeal isn't appealing( to me at least)
- nav buttons feel a little too close together
- cannot change the color of the bar
- auto hide feature needs work as it seems finicky
What I would like to see:
- short cuts to user defined app in menu
- options to change colors
- quick toggles in menu (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc...)
Other then that I really like it and its a good change. Will love to see the advancement of this project later down the road! Great work indeed!

Thanks for your feedback!
About suggestions and bad points:
-Yeah visual appeal is kind of generic, I'm not the best at design/art . Themes should give a workaround for those who don't like it in one of the next updates. (By the way there was a bug with the start button not showing the glowing icon when start menu was displaying . It's fixed in the new version, it's the same download link, uninstall is needed if you have the previous version.
-I plan on adding a setting to have custom distance between buttons because on some device space is precious and on others there's plenty of it.
-Themes should also address this issue
-Not sure what you mean by this, I admit it's not ideal because there's no animation, it just goes down after a 3seconds delay. I will add a smooth movement option in the future.
-user-defined shortcuts in menu is planned, as well as folders containing app shortcuts
-I'll try to add Theming fast
-Quick Toggles is indeed interesting, I'll think of ways to add it in the Menu.
Awesome! I see this as being a good hit

This damn thing is INTUITIVE. Seriously, I love the feel of it and it really looks quite nice on my N7. Cheers for letting us try this, I think its a really good fit and shows promise of something in the future. Killjoy question: what will the licensing price new?
Im really loving this! I do have have more thing that I would like to see added and that would be having resizeable options for the menu its self. More so users can choose exactly how many pixels the pull up menu actually takes up. I'm also picky like that though.

Very minor complaint: after about an hour of use, it starts to feel a bit sluggish. That is, I'll tap on home, back it recent and it'll take about a second to respond. I rebooted my tablet and suddenly I got my groove back. Maybe it's a memory issue? Just thought I'd chime in, I'm really enjoying this mod!
Love it so far!
Two little things:
-ability to change icons/icon sets of shortcuts
-expanded version of the menu to see more apps at once

Hello!
Can you tell me when it's happening and if it's after a precise action ? Could you use the CatLog app (or any similar one) to get me a crash report ? Thanks!
You might be low on memory and the system decide to stop the app to free some.

Music buttons worked great, as did the launcher button. No shortcuts added. I'm wondering if the error came from my rom or what, I'm running slim bean beta 2 with faux beta 14b01. Haven't had any issues since restarting, maybe it was a fluke?
New version uploaded which uses less memory and has a new welcome screen ( not so well done but I wanted one to have a link to the video tutorial I finished ).

Maybe, or it's the way to simulate virtual buttons that can sometimes go wrong, it's kind of a hack but there isn't really any alternative. It should work most of the time and as well as similar apps offering virtual buttons alternative.
I have to go, I'll be back tomorrow.
EDIT:I forgot to add if you already installed it, erase app data before uninstalling and installing the new one because the way data was saved as changed.

This should work for any 4.1.2 rom for the note 2 that has a working Xposed installer and MULTI-WINDOW capabilities.
THIS IS FAR FROM PERFECT
I have been wanting to make my device float and resize any app. I didn't put too much effort into it until recently. I finally got the settings down to make this possible.
Please keep in mind some apps (especially stock ones) don't like to be resized so they will almost become unusable if they are resized to small, this is one of many reasons why I previously said that this is far from perfect. On the plus side at least it will let you do ANY app !!!!
I used NEXT LAUNCHER PRO for this cause it supports MULTI-DPI a lot better than TW does, but you don't have to it will still work with TW but it makes some of the drawables look weird.

Thanks to @Scalee
Thanks to anyone I may have forgotten
MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE FRAMEWORK, APPSETTINGS.APK, AND MULTIWINDOW240.APK BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
Once the above are installed and working properly as per the instructions in the OP's of the DEV's mentioned above, you can continue:
At this point REBOOT your phone just to be sure all the installations and settings stuck. Open Multi-Window and add an app to it just to make sure everything works properly so far.
Open the App Settings App in your app drawer, should look like the one in this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Search for and open Android System, should look like the one in this picture:
At the top there is an ON/OFF slider (as seen in picture below), slide to the right to turn ON.
Then, CHANGE the DPI to 240, and the Screen (dp) to 800x1280 (also seen in same picture below).
At the top there is a save button, now is the time to hit that, a pop-up will show that says:
Apply Settings: Also kill the application so when it's relaunched it uses the new settings? Click YES
Immediately press and hold the power button to REBOOT.
After REBOOT open the App Settings App in your app drawer again and search for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService, should look like the one in this picture:
At the top there is an ON/OFF slider (as seen in picture below), slide to the right to turn ON.
Then, CHANGE the DPI to 240, and the Screen (dp) to 480x854 (also seen in same picture below).
At the top there is a save button, now is the time to hit that, a pop-up will show that says:
Apply Settings: Also kill the application so when it's relaunched it uses the new settings? Click YES
Immediately press and hold the power button to REBOOT.
All done!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now to learn how to succesfully make any app that is added to your FlashBar, FLOATING, RESIZABLE.
Turn on MULTI-WINDOW and INSTEAD of dragging out the first app, just CLICK on it and it will open in full screen, It doesn"t look like it now but this will be your first floater lol.
Next drag any random app (like settings or something) out of the FlashBar and drop it.
Now you will notice at the top of the first app that was added to the MULTI-WINDOW now has a PIN on the top left.
Click on the PIN to make it GREEN , FLOATING and RESIZABLE now. To move it grab it by top near the center and pull it around. To resize grab the edge of the left, right, or bottom side and resize.
Next, touch the random second app that is now full screen and hit the back button once and it will go away.
Now with the floater at the bottom, open FlashBar again, find the next app you want to FLOAT, and once again just CLICK on it and it will open in full screen,
next drag any random app (like settings or something) out of the FlashBar and drop it again.
Now you will notice at the top of the first app that was added to the MULTI-WINDOW now has a PIN on the top left.
Click on the PIN to make it GREEN , FLOATING and RESIZABLE. To move it grab it by top near the center and pull it around. To resize grab the edge of the left, right, or bottom side and resize.
Next, touch the random second app that is now full screen and hit the back button once and it will go away.
Do you see a pattern now, do for any and as many apps you want open at once.
Also after you make an app floating you can press the pin again and watch the pin turn GREY and the app will stay floating in the background instead of foreground.
GREEN pin = app floating in foreground.
GREY pin = app floating in background.
When all said and done you should be able to do this with any app:
PROFIT!!!!!!!!!!!
The above mentioned module called XPOSED APP SETTINGS is a wonderful tool for changing individual apps to make them visually fit your liking. Everything I talk about in the next few paragraphs is in direct relation to XPOSED APP SETTINGS.
NOW FOR A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
Screen density
The quantity of pixels within a physical area of the screen; usually referred to as DPI (dots per inch). For example, a "LOW" density screen has fewer pixels within a given physical area, compared to a "NORMAL" or "HIGH" density screen.
Font Scale
The size of the font in the amount of pre-allocated space; measured by percentage.
Resolution
The total number of physical pixels on a screen; usually known as Screen (dp).
Xlarge Resolution
extra large resolution
Locale
This allows you to change the language of any app individually; without changing your whole system to a different language.
Fullscreen
Force the app into fullscreen mode while hiding the status bar that is easily accessible by pulling down on the top of the screen.
Prevent the app from going into fullscreen mode. Keeps status bar on screen while the app is open.
No Title
Removes title bar from app. Every app I chose this for force closes so don't mark my words.
Keep Screen on
This will NOT let your screen turn off while the app is on the screen unless you hit the physical power button.
Show when phone locked
Leaves app open in the foreground of the lock screen while app is open and on the screen
Orientation
The ability to change whether an app opens (portrait or landscape). The dropdown consists of
(default app rotation). Uses whatever the default orientation that is already written into the app
Normal rotation = Will rotate screen normally
Always portrait = The ability to FORCE the app into portrait mode ONLY
Always landscape = The ability to FORCE the app into landscape mode ONLY
Force auto-rotation = The ability to FORCE the app to auto-rotate (will edit after tested).
Resident
Keeps any app in memory (running in background).
Insistent Notifications
Insistent notifications repeat their audio, vibration, and light settings continuously until canceled. These Notifications are typically used for events that require immediate and timely attention; such as an incoming call or the ringing of an alarm clock.
No BIG Notifications
Makes the app notification in the notification dropdown smaller, like a small preview instead of the normal show everything notification.
Permissions
Allows you to revoke permissions from any app of your choice.
If you've come this far than you probably know that some apps look like they might be sized bigger or smaller than other parts of the phone.
That's because the system doesn't change the DPI and Screen (dp) automatically with some/most apps.
After all the changes, the GALLERY app title bar is too big, meaning the DPI did not auto adjust. In order to make everything fit in the title bar you have to lower the DPI to anything lower than 240 for THIS app ONLY.
Every app will need it's own custom setting in order to get it the way you want it. Please DO NOT post that this exact setting did not work for any other app cause it MAY or MAY NOT. Consider yourself warned

HOW TO DISABLE XPOSED APP SETTINGS
Being that this MOD is not perfect, sometimes you might need to disable Xposed App Settings if something goes wrong (example: I made a change to an app that I didn't like, after reboot I went to change the settings back and noticed the app didn't show up in Xposed App Settings, even after several reboots).
TO FIX THIS:
Go to XPOSED INSTALLER in your app drawer (some roms like jedi master have the xposed installer built into a custom app like jedi tricks app that @ptmr3 made for his roms) anyway once in the installer, click on MODULES at the top right corner, then uncheck the box next to XPOSED APP SETTINGS.
NOW REBOOT. You will notice that all the Xposed App Settings aren't enabled anymore.
Then go back to your Xposed App Settings app and find the app you had problems with, that started this disable process.
Now change the settings back to a known good configuration. DON'T FORGET TO SAVE before exit.
Immediately go back to your XPOSED INSTALLER, click on modules and recheck the box next to XPOSED APP SETTINGS to renable it.
NOW REBOOT AGAIN
If you followed the instructions given, properly you should have everything back to the way it was before the problem occurred.

I'm on master 16 with sabrekernel 35.6 with the ext2 system data and cache mod.
All of this is amazing with these .phones. I will be finally getting an mhl adapter in the near future. They aren't expensive.
I hadn't looked into Master too much because of the lack of multiwindow, but read in the dev thread that it was working past a certain version. So multiwindow (and this thread's particular mod) does indeed work on 16 for you?

You need to hit the checkbox that says something about applying the settings to the widget.
My animation is off, but my clock is fine so I'll live with it.

You have said that earlier also.
I presume you are using the app ops settings in xpose.
Please provide a little more detail about the other values that you have filled up.
I have tried using a value of dpi = 530/640 and font scaling of 75/100 including checking the option to resize widgets.
But none of that worked.
Appreciate if you help a little more please.

I just went over this with a buddy tonight, and it came down to him not having app settings selected in the modules in xposed..
Other than that.. I'm not sure what it could be??
Are you rebooting your phone after you save the settings? It doesn't kill the widget after you hit save.. Some apps it works fine but not this widget that I've seen..
I Have android system (unchanged) and the build.prop at 530, with the clock at 640 (see attached) and my clock looks like normal on the quick circle case.
Running out of ideas if you're doing the above correctly =/

Finally i use the default dpi for system, and use xposed app setting to modify dpi to 530 for other app

Animation is still off for me.. Haven't figured that one out.
Let me know if you figure it out though haha
Anyway to fix the clock size on the lock screen after changing the DPI? I've changed the clock settings as listed above for fixing the clock with the quick circle, but that doesn't appear to fix the lock screen after a reboot.

Mate,
The screenshot posted by Bluerai on page 1 worked for me perfectly.
If you have modified your DPI to 530 for example, make sure you have xposed installed and app op settings installed, check marked and rebooted.
Open app op settings, look up com.lge.clock and open it up.
Modify the settings as mentioned by Bluerai on previous page screenshot. Set to 640 dpi, and check the apply res to widget also.
Then save the settings and press back button once to come back out of com.lge.clock setting page.
Then reboot your mobile and it should work.
It worked for me.
Let us know how it works.

No luck. The default circle clock remains unchanged. However, if I turn on lock screen widget and add the digital clock from that, it is scaled properly, but it's the circle clock that I want to use.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Awesome......That worked for me.......Had to save it after applying to the widgets as well and then reboot.....Worked when everything else failed...Thanks a bunch.....
What I did was I only set LGHomelauncher in App Settings to 530. Then I used G3 tweak box to change the app drawer grid and navigation bar size.
makes the launcher look better but everything else works fine.
i also used app settings to change my most used apps like browser, FB, etc..
What app do you all use??? Ops settings? I cant find it on the market and on google first thing that pops up is this thread... I already changed the dpi with system file edit but I have a quickcircle case and its no where close to fitting. Just need the name of the app thanks
EDIT: Nvm found it
Is there still no solution for the scale of the lighting ring of the circle case when changing the system DPI?
I love my circle case (especially with the great Quick Circle Apps from the play store!) and the lighting animation is just awesome, but the system default DPI of 640 is just unuseable
I tried sevaral configurations and googled a lot but in every case there is something that is not perfect. Is it really true that the scale of the lighting ring depends on the systemUI DPI?
What I've tried: (used apps: textdroider_dpi, app settings from xposed framework)
Scenario 1: Set DPI to 530 with textdroider_dpi and clock / quick circle apps DPI with app settings to default 640
In this scenario the system is great, even the apps of the quick circle case fits perfectly - only the lighting animation is not correct (so small)
Scenario 2: Keep default DPI of 640 for the system, but change the DPI settings of my mostly used apps (like whatsapp, homescreen, launcher) to 530
Here the animation and apps are ok, but some important things like the notification bar is still too big. Also you need to change the DPI of every single app to 530 via app settings, which is really annoying.
Did nobody find out where this specific setting could be changed? For me scenario 1 would be perfect if the scale of lighting animation suited.
Another great idea which I read about in another topic: What abound changing the color of the animation from white to a color of your choice? I love customizing my phone so this would be great as well. Unfortunately I am only a web developer and I'm not really familiar with the android system, otherwise I would try to find a solution in the system on my own

But to one has a working solution for the closing animation (lighting ring) with a customized system DPI?
in note 9 When you changing the screen size the size of the status bar icons Also change. but in note 10 the status bar is very small and not changed. is there a method to increase it.
Lol, I did everything to get rid of them... never saw any size adjustment for them.
In fact, I increased the dpi value just to make them smaller! Now I can get 12 in the left part!

Just pointing out the irony of what is unwanted for someone, it is desirable for others, anyway, good luck
Well start searching Playstore; "big stutus bar icons"
If you do find an app to do it, it may cost you system stability. Backup your data; it's not a good plan to needlessly install/uninstall apps.
I don't think it's easily doable... but who knows?
Lol, I've been trying to kill the page indicator icons for a year. 3rd party launchers can do this, but an unstable one cost me 2 hard resets by causing a boot loop.
Good luck...
Thanks..I found a great app(super status bar gesture) but it has a problem sometimes its notification bar disappears and original notification bar appears. Also icons cannot be moved. It is not possible to increase the size of the icons, but their size is rather large.
You are welcome.
Are there specific function(s) that you need to be able to see?
There may be a better way...

Hi @absentsound
Seems that, as you have already noticed, there is no easy solution for your request.
What I can suggest, that will have a reasonable chance of success, is the "do it yourself" option. This only requires that you are rooted and eager to fly toward new horizons
The system component that draws the statusbar is SystemUI.apk and, inside it, you will find the images (all the "/res/drawable/sec_stat_sys_*.spr" files) and several XML files that coordinate the overall layout.
Rooted or not, to start inspecting it, navigate to and copy the following file to your desktop
Code:
/system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
Now you can rename it to .zip and extract or just view its contents. You will not be able to edit the files per se as they are "compiled" (don't mind now with this term).
So, as I said, it's doable and just requires will. If you say so, we all may be able to guide you through the process.
Best regards.

Thank you very much for your keen interest..Root option I am trying to avoid. I tried it on the Note 9 .. Yes, you get full control and you will be able to install a custom ROM, but you will face a problem with the bank app and the security folder and warranty on the device. I am trying to search for an alternative option, a new Note 10 device since very few days.
There is an inquiry ... my device is still on Android 9 and I do not want to adventure and upgrade to Android 10 sixth security update because I cannot return after that ... because Android 10 does not support programs to change Arabic font such as wings font-gxfont . and the original Arabic fonts from Samsung are very bad.
any one has android 10 sixth security update Did you not notice the increase in the size of the status bar icons when increasing the size of the screen to the maximum? Was this problem solved in the latest update?

Hi @absentsound
I did try lowering the DPI at Settings / Developer options / Drawing / Minimum width. My default value was 411dp and I've changed, just for fun, to 300dp. Everything got bigger BUT the statusbar ... so it's a no go for your request.
I'm not rooted too but it is, unfortunately, the prerequisite to the only solution I can propose.
Good luck on your quest.
Nice regards.
.
You could use individual apps/widgets to replace them.
I use the Energy Ring to replace the battery indicator..
Other than that my stutus bar is black. Everything else I need is on the pull down notifications.
Like you I'm still running Pie; Q is a downgrade for me.

I'm not rooted too but it is, unfortunately, the prerequisite to the only solution I can propose.
Good luck on your quest.
Nice regards.

You could use individual apps/widgets to replace them.
I use the Energy Ring to replace the battery indicator..
Other than that my stutus bar is black. Everything else I need is on the pull down notifications.
Like you I'm still running Pie; Q is a downgrade for me.

only a battery indicator .. Unfortunately, there is no application that displays all indicators (wifi - signal-clock-battery ...).
Thank you, my friends, for trying and suggestions

The idea is to use widgets to replace the icons.
There is an app called "time and memo" is a very old one, but works surpringsingly well, it allows to display several things, can be out anywhere on the screen, is of the floating type, can be adjusted in size and color for each indicator, also you can choose when to be shown or not, it might be useful for op, there is another one called "cool tool" which is somewhat alike time and memo, but has some other functions, take a look
Cool Tool looked real promising but can't even run right on Pie.
It was a mess. Played with it for close to 30 minutes.
It couldn't set itself for accessibility permissions, a reboot and 2 data resets didn't help.
It's overlay display was uncontrollable and couldn't show battery current, net bandwidth, cell strength and so on.
Not a prayer for it running on Q...
Thank you for your cooperation ... What do you think about this? I think I have come up with the ideal program ..super status bar. paid
