Unusual Icons in Status Bar - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Hello!
I'm coming from a Nexus 5X and a Galaxy A3 2017 and just got my XZ2, which seems to be a very nice device. But i really don't like these icons:
{
"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"
}
I feel especially bad for the NFC-Icon. I use Google Pay so i keep NFC on all the time, is there no way to remove this icon? I found the switch for status bar icons in the settings but NFC-icon can not be switched of.
The second one are those triangles next to the WiFi-Icon. I'm sorry, but i don't really care when exactly WiFi is being used. - In the settings i can just turn off the whole WiFi-Icon which is also a bad idea to avoid using Mobile Data when WiFI is available.
Can you help me with these?
Best wishes,
Alex

Windows Mobile 6.5: turn off honeycomb?

I'm running a ROmwhich has the honeycomb icon layout. I find it terrible. It's so hard to find anything, it looks cluttered and confusing... Is there a way to get it to list things as a grid instead?
Yes there is a app available that will show everything in a list, unfortunately I can't remember the name but you should be able to find it via the search option.
I'm also desperately looking to disable the HoneyComb effect... I hear the economy is bad and some jobs need to be lost. I'd start with whoever came up with that.

I've searched and I can't find anything. It's possibly the worst idea Microsoft have come up with since that ridiculous paperclip. It's a mess.
I'm going back to 6.1 until one of the rom wizards finds a fix for it. Unless this thread comes up with one.

I second the OP question regarding the return to the simple grid system. A list is good, but not as good

[REQ]Pure Black Signal Strength Bars(Status Bar)ParanoidAndroid)

I've been checking around for a few days with no luck, but i'm looking for just a simple black theme for the cell signal strength bars, not the wifi bars. I want them to disappear over the black status bar background so it needs to be a pure black or maybe just blank PNGs? Compatible with CM9(ParanoidAndroid)
Thank you so much for your time!

I'm not too sure about what you're requesting. Just blacking them out wouldn't work. You'd still have the grey that is visible when you lose signal strength, bars, etc. The only ROM (that I know of) that has the ability to actually hide the signal (data) bars is AOKP. But note, there is a blank space where the signal bars are supposed to be when they are hidden. If I could, I'd pull the source code from AOKP, take a look, and make a flashable zip file of a mod for you. But I cannot, for I'm no developer. I'm pretty sure someone on this forum would be willing to help you, you might not be the only one who wants this.

SOLVED
Thanks for your input.
So I was messing around with the settings, I knew the option to hide the signal bars was available in phone mode but not in tablet mode.
1. So first I hid the signal bars in phone mode
2. Then changed it to tablet mode and what do you know it worked hah

Is there any way how to get the TouchWiz Notification Toggles (Including the brightness bar)

onto my HTC One?
I looked up a bit in the Internet but im not quite sure if I got the right terms for searching this up.
My Android knowledge in it is good at all.
I'm looking for methods that don't require root but if there is only a root method please tell me too.

i don't think that TouchWiz will be ported on HTC One
and BTW why you want to ditch Sense? :

I like my HTC One just how it is but there are these practical toggles that could fullfill it for me even more.
But if theres no way it's sad but okay.
You are aware that Sense has toggles as well, right? Swipe down and press the button on the top right. This has a much coarser grain brightness control though. Or otherwise install one of the many notification toggle apps

Yes sure i know about them but i really like those touchwiz toggles and the brightness bar. Thats the only point i have to make my smartphone better if you know what i mean

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​

This device has only a rear flash.
Yeah, useless for our device, thanks anyway.
I would like a notification flash

I actually just flashed a zip in TWRP that enabled the notification LED by the speaker grill. Its pretty nifty to have a notify light again to blink when I have something to see. Really, I just wanted it to for charging purposes (I have some cables that are starting to go and I want to know if my phone stops charging without touching it, since that sometimes knocks it back into place temporarily), but the notify blinker is a happy side effect.
Got it from mods section on this page:

android 12 updated, need to get rid of persistent icon on screen

Hi, as above. After updating this really annoying eyedropper icon that if pressed, changes the colour of everything on screen. Mostly It's just in the bleeping way.
What is it and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks,
Zo0

Go to settings then the accessibility section then the text and display section the colour correction shortcut is what you need to turn off
that's the first thing/place I looked but upon further review and getting used to the new interface, the radio button is on a drop-down menu under CC and it says " colour correction shortcut lol "
I guess I was in such a hurry I missed it.
Thank you,
