Hello community, is there a way to remove VPN icon from status bar/notification list? I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't work on S10+ and QuickStar (Good Lock) does't have the VPN icon listed in its setting.
Without root I have to use ADGuard (or similar) to remove AD, but they use VPN to filter them. VPN icon is very annoying especially because it's always shown in AOD. Any clue?

I think the best you can do without mods is minimize the notification, which still appears in the list.
Think of it as a status indicator, without it you wouldn't know if you were connected to the VPN right?

I don't think I can minimize such VPN notification. However, it will be always stay on AOD.

Correct, but as I wrote, it's very annoying icon. I'm searching a way, at least, to hide from AOD! ...while waiting for S10 root
You can try AdHell3. I'm using it without any problems and there's no VPN icon, because it doesn't use a VPN.

Yes, already installed, but it doesn't block all ADs, maybe I have to add more domains than the default one. Which domains you use with AdHell3?

I can minimize it on my device. Also, it doesn't show on my AOD screen. Long press the notification and select "details".

Wait, do you mean the ADGuard notification? This can be blocked without issue, I'm referring to VPN notif (the key). I'm not able to remove nor to minimize it.

I just use the hosts file from mmotti's git which was preinstalled. AdHell3 allows just a number of domains and all other lists I tried are exceeding this number.
But I didn't noticed any Ads that weren't blocked - even Google AdSense are getting blocked.
With AdGuard I noticed a mid range battery drain but with AdHell3 not.
Try autonotification from Google Play.
It works for me

No. I'm referring to the system vpn notification. I'm aware of the adguard notification. I've been using it for 4 years
Not sure why you can't. In the notification settings for vpn it allows me to change it to silent n minimized. Don't be fooled by the greyed out slider on the page listing the notifications. Click it to open the options for the notification.

Would you be so kind to explain how you do it?
Autonotification seems to require the name of the app one wants to block the notifications of. Is there one specific app to mention? Or is it a different kind of setting?
Thanks in advance!
Another thing I've recently stumbled across is called good lock. You can get it from the Galaxy store... it allows you to remove multiple icons from the status bar. Such as Bluetooth, alarm icon, VPN icon. It also allows you to do many other ROM customizations without root.

There is a way to disable it. See this post!
Is anyone able to disable the "Data traffic is disabled" notification when switching of mobile data?
On my previous Xperia Arc I could modify custom_settings.xml in "/system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/" to disable it. However, on the Xperia Z this directory does not exist. Creating it, setting the permissions (644) and setting up the file as below does not help. Maybe the version is not right or some line are missing for the Xperia Z...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings version="1">
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-can-clear-icon" runtime="false">true</setting>
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-enabled" runtime="false">false</setting>
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-disabled" runtime="false">false</setting>
</settings>

Have you tried a different toggle app? I remember installing a smart toggle app on my Ion and the warning disappeared.
Re: Disable "Data traffic is disabled" notification
Often Sony use a standalone apk to provide this kind of functionality.
I've not looked but it would be in /system/app and usually sensibly named

I want to use Tasker with secure settings for that. When connected to WiFi want it to turn off data to preserve energy. A toggle is not reliable because then I have to keep an eye if it is connected or not. Defeats the purpose.

You don't get it. The switching works of course. I don't want the warning showing up every time I disable data (when connected to WiFi).
Re: Disable "Data traffic is disabled" notification
This is weird,cause i can remove the notification just by swiping or clear.

True. But on my other Xperia's I could disable it all together. When I hop from WiFi to WiFi hotspot I am connected to data in between. Also when WiFi signal is low and often drops you get this message like 20x. It is annoying and has no use.

Usually, Sony uses a separate apk for each such notification and you can just delete it or disable it...
For example the Xperia T has a thing that turns off the phone after 15 minutes if there's no sim inserted is just a separate APK

Maybe Sony uses an apk to show it. Still I have never heard how to disable it that way on the Arc. I could also imagine that you would get problems on other levels when actually deleting stuff. Changing or adding a line is better. On alle my Xperia's (last was the Arc) it was possible to disable it like I showed on post 1. No apk involved. It would be very strange that this would not work for the XZ in a similar fasion. So that's why I asked. But apparently no one knows (yet).
I found a way to disable the Data traffic icon. I've used Elixir 2 from the Google play to do this.
1) Open Elixir
2) Click on "applications" button
3) Click on the options button that is in the left of the button that is like the play button and click "sistem applications"
4) Search "phone" app and click on it, "show details"
5) Desactivate "DataTrafficExceptMmsNotifier", you can find it in "Services"
6) Now reboot.
You must be root!!!
I think all works fine after this.
Sorry for my very bad english.

No no, it's removing only the "Data traffic is disabled" notification.

1. Is there no way hide notification on lock screen for apps that's always in the notification bar (like Tasker or Call Recorder?)
2. I can't find anyway to turn of the screen by double tap the notification bar (like in COS or CM).

Call recorder is a widely used name for apps that record calls. I use the one from Skvalex, also payed version.
What I mean is that normally apps that shall stay active all the time needs to be in notification bar, but I rather don't see it when I only turn on the display with the lock screen.
In CM and COS I could deal with this with options like "never show for apps always in notification bar".

Hmm, I'm on 4.0 and havn't used call-recorder in the short time I was on 3.5.4, next time I'm restoring 3.5.4, I'll check and report back.
Stupid me! It was because I had no PIN set on the phone, I had no specific options for the lock screen.

On P10 with Oreo you can hide it..
Go to settings, apps..
Activate system settings and go to Android System.
There you select Notifications and activate or deactivate what you want.

Hi. How do you get rid of the notification when you clear out recents. It says "Your device is now in optimal condition" Very annoying! It will be closer to optimal condition once I get rid of that notification!

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.

For anyone looking for ways to hide work profile apps from the drawer, have a look at SRT Vault . Similar to Shelter or Island you can control the work profile. But more than that, a file transfer in and out and the disable/hide app functionality is provided. It's free and in active development.
