Auto Rotate is turned off, that icon represents your phone being locked in veritcal position.

Just long tap on it and select Details to see what is it.

Turns out it was auto rotate and because of systemui tuner. It doesn't show up normally though

Lockscreen shortcuts xposed module?

Are there any xposed modules that add shortcuts to the lock screen? I found this app on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hi.locker&hl=en which is what I want to do. I was just wondering if there were any modules available that did it instead?

Ohh, you're right. I figured Gravity Box would be the one to do that... somehow missed that in the settings though (I saw it but didn't realize Ring Target was what it was referring too.)
Thanks

Ahh I'm looking for it too! Cant seem to find it. Where did you locate it?
I don't see it too. I see Navigaton Ring Targets but that's for the home button from te navigation bar. I don't see anything for the lockscreen.

[Q] what is this mysterious icon on my notification bar?

Your notifications are set to do not disturb or off. Press your volume button to see these options
That means you dont have any phone network
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
I double the 'absolutely zero signal', that is what the symbol means.
I can confirm that the symbol means do not disturb. Check your volume settings if you want to change it back.
Source: Have Nexus 10 with 5.0
It means so you notifications are set to "none"
That means the radio is off, you are using wifi and have no signal through the carrier.
I've got a star symbol in my notification bar. What does that mean?

That means priority notifications only.
BTW, that screenshot was from my Nexus7 tablet running android 5.0

Do you even have cellular radios in that tablet?
No, i have the WiFi only model of the Nexus7

Right, and it's on. An empty triangle would mean no service etc. etc. Google used to have a document that listed all the (stock) icons. Perhaps they still do.
Priority notifications have:
no icon - all
star - priority
slashed circle - none (including alarms).
By the way this is a Nexus 6 area.
If he has a Wifi model then she shouldn't have the no signal icon to begin with. To me, this icon means its not a WIFI model and there is no sim card inserted or valid

I'm not sure what you mean here but the linked YouTube video shows all three states and the two icons. Perhaps you didn't notice that this device is running Android L?

Oh i was responding to the OP with the question about the circle with the line across.
MYSTERY SOLVED! i notice that even on the Nexus6, if you press the volume down button from the homescreen once, then press the word "NONE", it will create this circle with the line through it on the notification bar to remind you that you dont want to receive any notifications or alarms.
The answer was posted multiple times and a link to a demonstration video was provided. Did you post a question and then simply not read any of the answers?

How do you disable multi window on the S6?

As you can see I did search this topic...can't even find an answer on google. Which worries me...
Often, I'll swipe down from the notification bar which turns the app I'm viewing, if capable, into a multi window view. This is incredibly annoying. Coming from the Note 4, there was a quick toggle (or in settings) to turn this off. I can not seem to find how to turn this function off with the S6. Any help out there?
I was just going to post the same question How the hell do you turn off that annoying multi view crap?
I wanna know this as well and how do I turn off the lightof the back and the cent button also?

I mean the back button and recent button, it lights up as soon as you touch the screen, there was an option to turn this off in S5.

I think I saw some settings for it in "/data/data/<settings provider, whatever its called>/ <blah>.db" (can't remember the exact name). So if you have root and sqlLite Editor you might try looking there
UPDATE: this database is the one I'm talking about:
then click on Data
Then click Data Aagin
Then Click com.android.providers.settings
then click Databases
CLick Settings
Click System

I do have root...so this will take remove the multi window? Considering we just got twrp I may just wait for a custom ROM lol
I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for "MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store.

Yeah but how do I get to that when my brightness slider is gone?
I used a theme for the status bar icons to make them blue and that is what's doing it.

status bar icon removal?

Hi is there a setting somewhere to hide certain status bar icons?
Thanks
Good lock does this and also UI Tuner, however neither can hide the Bluetooth connected icon but they do the rest.

I haven't tried connecting a device yet, maybe that's why I don't see it.
Not OP, But I just tried to install UI Tuner, But it keeps crashing. BTW I have an S10+.
Mine only shows up when I have an active bluetooth connection, other than that it is hidden
System UI tuner on the play store works and removes this icon, just have to use ADB to make this work.

Good Lock is just the main program and you're not required to use the lockscreen, I don't. The notifications are controlled by the Quickstar module within Good Lock where you can hide the clock or have it on the left or right.
