Enable System UI tuner on Marshmallow

This is a guide to enable System UI tuner on Marshmallow.
Since we cannot root our Android One currently, it is a good way to tweak our devices right now.
It includes
•Re-arrange the Quick Settings toggles.
•Show hide items from the status bar (such as casting icon, do not disturb icon, etc.)
•Show the embedded battery percentage in the Battery indicator.
•Toggle Demo Mode
To enable this, do the following:
•Pull down the notification drawer to display the Settings gear icon in the top right corner.
•Long press this icon. It may not be noticeable, but it will begin to spin under your finger. It may take a couple of tries (did for me on two different devices).
•When it's activated, you will see a popup that says "Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings" (See screenshot).
•Go to your Settings and you will see an option for "System UI Tuner" under "About Phone".
That's it! Enjoy

Yeah without gravitybox and xposed right now it is our only way of tweaking

Does it work for HTC m8? Can't seem to be getting anywhere??
Stuck ram

I think that only works on AOSP/Close to stock ROMs.

Oh OK thanks for responding.....I've been trying and nothing so no ui tuner for me.

Does not work for note 4 CM 13 ...

App that shows ONLY percentage of battery. (Without any other notification elswhere)

HI
Is there an app that shows ONLY percentage of battery without any other notification elswhere? (no lock screen bar etc)

What's wrong with the standard battery percentage inside of the battery icon (like on every other android phone)? You can't enable it through settings (thanks Motorola...) but you can download an app called battery percent enabler to enable it. After it's enabled you can uninstall the app and it will stick.

Pull down the notification bar to where you see the Quick Settings. Long press the settings (gear) icon until it spins, then let go. Now you can access the System UI tuner which lets you add the battery percent in the icon without downloading that app. Only works on Marshmallow.

Xposed & Gravity Box has this, if you're rooted. I prefer this look myself.

Try "Akku-Prozentanzeige" from "Kroegerama". I cant post links so you have to search yourself

The text is too small to be readable, but still, pretty awesome. Thanks!

I use battery widget reborn and have done for many years, there is a free one to try before buying it, give it a try think you will like it

I created this app as test code that I plan to integrate with my primary system info app (Sys-I) in the future. Not sure if it is what you are looking for exactly, but it's small and light.
Not a lot of features, it was just a test, but it functions.

GSAM Pro (paid version) and a theme can do this... Nice big numbers and with some tweaking you overlay the stock icon to cover it with big numbers.

Thanks for this! I didn't know about that System UI Tuner thing.

Clearing or disabling permanent notifications such as WiFi Calling and Night Display?

I am unable to clear the WiFi / Cellular calling notification in the tray. The text is as follows:
"Unable to make calls over Wi-Fi. Cellular preferred is your connection preference." (Motorola Settings)
Any ideas on how to block the wifi or cellular calling notification? This notification might be unique to T-Mobile phones.
EDIT: simplified and clarified original question

Tap and hold a notification. See if there will be an option wherein you can set priority per se. If it doesn't work you can enable it in Settings - System UI Tuner. But you have to be sure it is already active/enabled.

Thanks! Long pressing did not reveal any useful options. However, with the System UI tuner, I was able to take the notification level from 2 to 1 (but not 0) so at least now there is no icon in the status bar.

What is this icon for on Notification ?

What is this icon for ?

Auto Rotation OFF

Why this appears all of sudden . Most of the time I off the auto rotation and it's not appear before .

Do you use system ui tunner? This app has sometimes this issue when you hide some icons in the statusbar

Actually, my experience is, that icon shows up when you have auto-rotation on. When you turn auto-rotation off, the icon also disappears.

I thought it was an OS update available

Really odd, in my case, the icon appears when autorotation is disabled! ?

Usually stock for Samsung devices it doesn't appear at all no matter what you have it set to, well not on any of my past Samsung phones anyway.
As said, if you use System UI Tuner or ADB to disable or enable any status bar icons, it will show up. I disabled my alarm clock icon & doing so makes the rotation icon appear so I had to disable that too.
If not using System UI Tuner you can disable it using ADB, no root needed.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist rotate

Has anybody solved notifications issue on Mate 20 Pro?

Hi everyone. Can anybody post a screenshot of your homescreen with received emails / messages icons showing in the top left corner of the Mate 20 Pro screen (notifications area) please? I'm sick and tired to hear explanations like "hm, weird. might something wrong with your firmware", hm, I've got everything". Something is telling me that this problem is notch related and Huawei simply don't know how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

What problem do you have?

Okay, I want my phone showing notification icons like in your second screenshot with received emails icons. To other screenshots are the result of action like swipe down gesture. How did you get emails icon there?

No notification icons (emails, messages...) in the top left corner. All I have got is operator name and signal strength (GSM + WiFi) signs. That's it. As a result, I'm missing important messages and emails, not reading them in time. Never experienced anything like this on Pixel, Galaxies, LG, HTC and Sony phones. Also my previous phone - Mate 10 - didn't have this problem too. Can't find the way to fix it on Mate 20 Pro.

Maybe you have disabled them by mistake,you can always go to app setting and enable notifications for each app you want.

It's a horrible notch on this phone.
I'd much rather that if the option to turn "off" the notch is selected, that the whole top line would be moved down so that icons show in an entire row the line below, instead of the very top notched line, but such is life!
For you, is this a space issue do you think?
I've changed the option to show a notification number instead of individual icons. At least with this method, you'll know something is there?
.

You have the place for only 4 icons at the right and at the left of the notch. So that depends if you have Bluetooth on, network monitor on etc... Etc.. For each apps you have maybe in notification bar you should disable apps that you don't want to be in notif bar. For exemple I use Tasker but don't need it in notification bar, so I removed is icon in notification menu.
Like you I don't see my email or text msg notification icon but is because I've Bluetooth on, alarm on, vibrate On and data monitoring on so... Alarm icon don't appear coz I've also signal strength.
Signal strength + Bluetooth icon + network monitor + vibrate mode = 4 icons nothing more. If I switch from vibrate mod to ring mod i' ve again one free slot for another icon etc... Etc..

I haven't touched or disabled anything. Everything is on default settings. I've checked all notifications related settings, everything is enabled.

Yes, this is a space issue and a Huawei issues at the same time. I set "show numbers" options but still no luck. Maybe my current operator name is too long to have anything else beside.

Okay, thanks for explanation. Thant's mean it is space + Huawei issue indeed. Useless (no notifications whatsoever) AOD is quite frustrating as well.

Have you tried unticking the display carrier name option in the display settings?
Edit:
Ahh, this only affects the home screen and not the lockscreen. Never mind

There is room for 5 icons and not 4. The last three ones are replaced by new icon.
I think you've changed something in settings that's why you're not getting notifications.
If you look at second screen shot, you can see that sms icon in the first photo is replaced with keyboard icon and on the third it's back again.

Okay, I see. Seriously, I haven't touch any settings, all in defaults state. Just tried to disable providers name and finally notification popped up! Anyway, notch is the culprit of my issue. I takes heaps of space so with provider name displayed by default there is no space for anything else. Can't justify such a huge notch and having below the average sound from the speakers. My old small Pixel 3 sounds a way clearer and louder even not at high volume. Don't really care about secure and fancy 3D face recognition at all.

Then you bought the wrong handset. The notch is there for a reason. I love the 3d face recognition, so I live with the notch. I bought the right phone.

You can also use adb to permanently disable some of the system icons like Bluetooth, alarm clock, nfc, etc.. This really helped clean things up and made more room up top for notification icons.
One option I wish they had was the ability to move signal and WiFi from left to right.

Total is 8 icons....4 at left and 4 at right or 5 at left 3 at right etc... If you choose to put battery % out of his icon you will see... Battery icon take 2 places, % take one, time take one = 4
If you put battery % inside his icon : battery icon take 2 places, time take one = 3, so you have automatically 5 slots available at left... [emoji57]
