I noticed the system doesn't auto detect the notch size on GSIs (I'm using Android 10), icons hide as if the notch was crazy big like iPhone or the latest pixels.
Is there a recovery patch for the system to properly show the statusbar and icons with smaller notches, which is the huge majority of phones?

Happy New Year everyone.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck adjusting the padding between icons in the status bar on their Pixel XL? I've searched XDA and Google and mostly found information about making your older Android device's status bar transparent, a few outdated articles about the padding but it references editing the text of important system files. Back story is I haven't had to really worry about battery life throughout the day (thank goodness), but I'm still obsessive about keeping my phone topped off so I hid the battery icon from the status bar using System UI Tuner. Out of sight out of mind right? The downside is I now have a gap that seems to be the combination of the padding between cellular service, battery, and clock creating 2 "pads" as opposed to just one.
TLDR: Any way to edit the padding between particular icons in the status bar?
Device: Verizon Pixel XL (7.1.1 NMF2XO, unlocked/rooted running Elemental X 1.02)
Update: In order to solve my problem I installed the Pure Nexus ROM and utilized its capability of removing the battery along with the padding.
1. pixel launcher crashes after I set it as default
2. If i have these status icons: sim1, sim2, wifi, bt, night light (led), nfc - i don't see app icons in staus bar for notifications - ie. gmail or sygic when downloading maps, etc. Not even notification light, only app "badge". In app permissions everything in notifications is enabled etc. And in settings apps & notifications also everything enabled.
And also in gmail settings itself everything in notification settings is enabled.
UPDATE: so after manually enabling everything for gmail in "app launch" I get notification LED, but status bar with the notch i just tragic and it is not showin, instead it is full of system icons, I guessed that after year of notched phones this will be sorted, but well I was wrong. That is huge oversight - thre should be options to display smaller battery icon and smaller dual sim and wifi icons, also eye care and dnd icons. basically all system icons should be dual row and fit into right part of the notch so there is space for actual notifications on the left.
You can use CPL instead of the Pixel Launcher.
It's way more customizable as the name (Custom Pixel Launcher) suggests and I haven't experienced any issues.
CPL also does not work, I think it is based on same source. I can get over the pixel launcher issue, but missing notification icons in status bar because of the notch are really what bothers me.
I thought all the notch hate was only for how it looks, that did not bother me, but now I also hate it.
Maybe I've been oblivious since I got my P6P but the quick tiles look different.
I'm still on Build 36 but I don't remember there being 4 small icons on my pulldown.
No...it's just another bug/glitch. Has happened to me a few times now. Restart system UI or reboot and it goes back to normal. I would rather have that with the icons and the labels underneath the icons. Android 12 notification shade is hideous imo.
I'd almost prefer going back to the older style with just the icons and then when you expand it you can get the new wide buttons.
With the new Android 13 update on the Verizon S20, the status bar icons, text, clock, etc... is extremely small. There doesn't seem to be any way to bump that up in size. Font size adjustments... nope. Screen zoom... nope.
Anyone have a solution?
Hello everyone, long time reader first time poster. I have the Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro, and I love it so far. Question: is there a way to make the status Bar icons bigger?
For such a big phone they seem awfully tiny and I was just wondering. I know on other phones you can make the display bigger and thus making the status Bar icons (the notification icons & the icons on the right) bigger but I didn't see this option.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've been trying to do similar via the opposite way (Make the status bar smaller....)
Seems like a total waste of space to have such a huge status bar (as if we have a camera cutout) with such standard sized icons and No camera cutout
I've tried
- Substratum
- Substratum Lite
- AOSP Mods (xposed module)
- Gravity Box (xposed module)
All didnt work...
Really dont want to have to mess around with framework-res and systemui for this....
