I'm rooted on OOS12, and I recently switched to using AdGuard VPN. Now I have two more persistent notifications cluttering up my notification space: The AdGuard notification which I can turn off, and the Android System notification that says "VPN activated" which I cannot turn off or minimize. I want to get rid of that useless system notification - is there any way to do that? Magisk module, etc.?
I seem to recall finding a way to do this on a previous device, but my guess is I was using some mod that isn't available for the 9Pro (Gravity Box or XXXNoLimits, maybe).
Search for 'status icons' and turn off vpn.
Alternatively you can use a private dns such as dns.adguard.com

Status Icons gets rid of the icon in the top right (the key icon) but not the persistent notification.
I intentionally switched to AdGuard VPN for the app-level control because I need to allow ads in certain apps. I was previously changing my DNS settings with Tasker when I launched specific apps, but it was a major hassle and didn't work reliably.
Whatever persistent notification you have just silence it and it disappears. I have blokada running and no notifications at all

That's exactly what I'd love to do, but there is no way I can find to make it go away. It can't be swiped, and if I long press it says these notifications cannot be modified. This happens with all VPNs, not just those used for ad blocking.
Found a solution, though not a perfect one. The app "Auto Notifications" can intercept the notification and prevent it from displaying. Running another background app isn't ideal, but beggars can't be choosers, I'll take it!

I will never use the Messages app to send a picture (yes, never. I don't have an SMS plan) so I'd like to be able to remove it from the sharing list from the Gallery. Is there any way to choose which apps show up in that sharing list?
Thanks.

Only by removing the apps. You could go into the Messaging App Info page, and Disable it. As a warning, though, Messaging is one of the core OS apps, and disabling it could possibly cause instability. I've never had any reason to try it, but just keep it in mind in case you have issues; you can always re-enable it.

Any idea if this is the kind of thing a custom ROM could enable: choosing which apps show up in the menu?

Anything's possible; that could certainly happen. I don't see it as being a very widely anticipated feature, though. Just out of curiosity, I'm not sure if you noticed, but after you've used the sharing menu a few times, it shows only your top 3 apps (technically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) that you've used for sharing, and then a "See All..." button below it. Also, your foremost sharing app will show up as an icon to the right of the sharing icon. Example below, with imgur, Messaging, Kik, and Gmail.

Just use Quickpic is is really good. I use it as my main gallery. Also has the option to hide stuff.
Thanks for the ideas.
This icon has shown up recently in my notification bar and will not go away. I am struggling to find what app it is for. Any ideas?

Google Goggles didn't return any results. What have you installed recently?

Nothing new has been installed.
I was thinking since its showed up recently there was probable an app installed recently as well, since not.. did you maybe change any of the developer settings lately?
I'm guessing there is no additional info in the notif bar, right? cause if so, you can hold it down and select "app info" and then uncheck the "notifications tickbox". That works on any app that gives notifications you don't want, or if an app requires a persistent notification to function properly but you don't want to see the icon all the time.

You are correct. When I pull down the notification bar, there is no additional information for this icon (nor is the icon shown). I have not made any changes to my settings (that I am aware of) nor have I done anything in the developers settings...which is why this icon is throwing me for a loop.
Hmm. I cant think of anything else either, if something does come to me I will let you know. Hopefully someone else does know what that icon is for.
Mystery Solved....
Apparently my Notification Toggle App changed icons. I hate when that happens.
Hi there,
Is this possible? I'm struggled trying to achieve this but I couldn't find any option in any of the settings
Thanks,
Rafael

If you are talking about the Quick Setting Toggles for Wi-fi, Data, Screen Rotation, it can easily edited in many ways
1st way : Go to Settings > My Device > Display > Notification Panel
2nd way : Slide down the notification toolbar with two fingers, you will be able to see all options with edit option on top right

For some reason, I don't have the notification setting option under Device>Display. I also tried the two-finger pull down, and nothing. I have the I9082L, running I9082LUBAMH1. Any suggestions? Thx guys.

That's because your firmware is Android 4.1.2... What he said above is for 4.2.2...
Thread title, really.
I've missed immersive mode on my 7 Pro ever since I got my 9 Pro, there wasn't any time I would ever turn it off on my 7 Pro and it's why I'm keeping it on Android 10. But Android 11 lacks immersive mode so I can't use it on my 9 Pro. I fear burn in so I've had my status bar permanently hidden (set to 0px) and I just bring it down with a gesture when I need to view notifications.
But even though the status bar is 0px, all my apps still know the holepunch is there and push the content below the holepunch / make a black bar above the holepunch. Is there any setup that you guys know of that ignores the holepunch? Bonus points of its on a per-app basis. I know Samsung phones can use Good Lock to accomplish this, and it's crazy that a phone that doesn't even need root can accomplish this but I can't seem to find a solution for my phone with an unlocked bootloader lol.
But yeah, I really just want a way to force apps to ignore the holepunch. Anything?
G-Visual mod!

That's what I'm using to force my status bar to 0px. Unfortunately the whole ignore holepunch thing doesn't seem to work on OOS11. Unless you found some way?
Did you enable this in Dev Settings? It appears when you are using G-Visual mod

Yeah, but even after enabling, it only affects the status bar and no other app. Even in your screenshot, I can see your settings app pushed considerably below where your status bar is. Seems like a true immersive mode is just impossible on Android 11
Oh sorry I misunderstood you, the G-Visual mod makes the app go full screen (with status bar) in portrait mode.
Hello all!
So basically i want this:
1st - I want this notification bar with all its icons to Auto-Hide ALWAYS, and show up only when i swipe it down,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
2nd - I want this navigation bar at the bottom to also Auto-Hide ALWAYS also, and when i swipe UP to be shown,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
1st 2nd

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
