This is the line that controls the display of your signal icons and data icons. There's nothing much we can do with this line but, handily, there is a layout file called mobile_signal_group.xml which is worth a look at. That looks like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/mobile_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.AnimatedImageView android:theme="@style/DualToneLightTheme" android:id="@id/mobile_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" systemui:hasOverlappingRendering="false" />
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.AnimatedImageView android:theme="@style/DualToneDarkTheme" android:id="@id/mobile_signal_dark" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:alpha="0.0" systemui:hasOverlappingRendering="false" />
    <ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_type" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_roaming" android:paddingTop="1.5dip" android:paddingBottom="3.0dip" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="17.0dip" android:src="@drawable/stat_sys_roaming" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_data_connection_roaming" android:paddingStart="22.0dip" />
</FrameLayout>

This uses a FrameLayout to display the signal icon (@id/mobile_signal and @id/mobile_signal_dark), data icon (@id/mobile_type) and roaming icon (@id/mobile_roaming). FrameLayouts display their contents on top of each other, like they're in a frame. That's why you see the data icon on top of the signal icon.

Try changing that FrameLayout to a LinearLayout and that should put the icons next to each other.

You may want to consider redrawing the icons though. These are now Android Vector Drawables which are XML files in the drawable. You can either edit the existing code in those files (complicated), replace the code with brand new code (less complicated but still takes time) or delete the XML files completely and create your own PNG files instead. These will need to be in the suitable drawable-?dpi folder and have the same filenames.

The above paragraph is simple but it does involve a bit of thought and time.

it works!!!!! thanks bro, the only thing is the data icon is showing on right side of signal, next to battery haha, any tip to move it to the r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ left of the signal icon?

So...the data icon is on the right side of the signal and you want to move it to the...right side of the signal?

If you want to move it to the left side of the icon, you just need to change the order of the lines inside that Layout. The line at the top will be displayed first, then the next line down and so on.

It'll be something like "ic_gs_*.xml" in the drawable folder.

I have a problem with hiding a Preference (ListPreference - CheckBoxPreference) line in xml file.

I can't use android:visibility="gone" or "invisible" (it doesn't work)
I can't use android:layout_height="0.0dip" (it doesn't work)
I can't delete this line (crash recompiled app)

There is something other that I can do?
In smali folder there is nothing, so I can't use RemovePreference

Hmm, what an interesting problem. Can you share the code please? I'll look into it and see what I can work out for you.

at the end I have ListPreference and 2 CheckBoxPreference that I want to hide...
but I'm not able to do this

Maybe there is something in source code that I don't have.
In smali folder there is nothing.

Here there are my apk files: kangvip-res and KangVIPTools
These files go to framework folder.

I have problems with KangVIPTools.
Not simple to recompile...
Here I wrote how I made it.

res/xml/notification_settings and notification_settings_multi_sim

I haven't done much with Preferences in XML so I don't know the answer. So I had to do some research.

Changing the visibility, layout_width and layout_height only works on what Google describe as 'Views'. Preferences aren't Views, so those attributes are completely ignored.
Preferences do have their own unique attributes but there doesn't seem to be any specifically to change whether they're visible or not.
It's worth adding the attribute "android:enabled="false"" to the lines. This might stop the Preferences from showing...or it might not.

If that doesn't work, it's worth deleting each Preference line individually and seeing if they all cause a FC or if it's just one of them. Failing that you may have to track down the relevant bit of smali and edit that.
That's a bit more involved as you'll have to find the hex reference for the android:key from each line, then find where that reference is used in the smali. It's theoretically possible though.

Sorry it's not a definite answer but I'm pretty sure we can work this out!

I tested it...
The lines are now in gray...
Not the Solution (hide) ...but good!

I can't delete these lines... always FC.
I deleted one line at a time... all these 3 lines get FC.

But I'm happy with gray (unselectable) solution.

Test go on

I solved with a magic

Code:

...
    <PreferenceScreen android:enabled="false" android:title="" android:summary="">
	<ListPreference android:enabled="false" android:entries="@array/timedetail_entries" android:title="@string/timedetail_title" android:key="status_bar_time_detail" android:entryValues="@array/timedetail_entries_values" />
	<CheckBoxPreference android:enabled="false" android:title="@string/switch_signal_wifi_icon" android:key="switch_signal_wifi_icon" android:defaultValue="false" android:summaryOn="@string/checkbox_on" android:summaryOff="@string/checkbox_off" />
	<CheckBoxPreference android:enabled="false" android:title="@string/statusbar_show_lunar" android:key="statusbar_show_lunar" android:defaultValue="true" android:summaryOn="@string/checkbox_on" android:summaryOff="@string/checkbox_off" />
    </PreferenceScreen>
...

3 lines in one

With no title and summary ("") ... all blank ... unselectable

It isn't the Solution, but an acceptable solution.

We hide the dust under the carpet
