Top right icons hidden by notch - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone
this is my first post, I hope you can help me.
I have a Pocophone F1. When I set the "not disturb" or "silent" modes the corresponding icons, that should appear in the top right of the display, actually don't appear. I guess they are hidden by the notch. This is really annoying because, in this way, it is very easy to forget to have set the silent or the do not disturb modes.
I already made some searches and it seems that all the solutions and third-party apps are made for the top left notification icons.
Is there a solution?
Thank you very much in advance.
All the best,
Gabriele

Stock MIUI on Poco only supports three objects displayed in the status bar. Left side is clock and right side is SIM and battery.
There is no setting to change this behavior.
You may try and install a custom sutartus bar, I've seen some apps on the Play Store.

Yes, thanks but the apps I have seen only change the visualization of the top left notification icons keeping the top right ones as are. Could you kindly suggest me an appropriate app?
Thank you very much.

Add custom buttons (shortcuts) to tablet system bar

Hi all.
I'm trying to the following for months now:
You know that most of the tablets with android 3+ have this large black bar at the bottom. I'm not sure how it is called but I mean this bar where the clock, back and home button and the notification icons are on.
On the middle area of this bar there is always much space depending on the number of notifications on the right.
My idea was to use this space for shortcuts to apps or tasker tasks. Just like in windows the Quick Launch Toolbar on the task bar.
But until now I haven't found any solution.
Here is what I have:
I'm using tasker scenes to build my own shortcut buttons. Then I displayed these buttons as always on top and half transparent directly on the screen in the normal application display area. It seems that tasker is not able to display these buttons over the system bar. So this isn't a complete solution of my problem since the free display space on the bar is still not in use.
On the other hand I do know that it must be possible to program apps which are overlayed on the system bar since other apps can be placed over it.
Anyway...
I'm searching for a clean solution to get shortcuts on the system bar to start apps or tasker tasks with one click or touch.
Please help if you can or just post if you are also like to see such a solution. Maybe an app developer picks up this idea.

If somebody knows some thing that can helps me, i would be greetead.

[Q] Faded dot on the left of the notification bar?

What is that faded dot, which appear sometimes on the left of notification bar... like a notification but it's not?
does it show with headphones plugged in?
If it is as Envious is suggesting, then its the Smart connect thing. Or maybe you are talking about the Noisecanceling which appear like a wave sort of.

Like the one in the attached picture ?
A flag, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE, can be passed to indicate that certain UI elements be put into a Low Profile and offer less of a distraction to the user. If I had a nexus device (really any device with soft buttons across the bottom) then I would also notice those buttons being replaces by the same dim circle I'm seeing in my navbar.
This has been available since 4.0 and is intended for book readers, games, and other immersive applications.
Maybe you have some sort of app that are running in the background. Try to check your task manager.
It's not related with headphones. It looks just like the one in the attachment but if so it should replace a notification, which i dont see after it disappears.
I'll try to get a screenshot the first time i see it.
And please check the task manager to check what is open. Please take screenshot of that too
Unfortunately, i forgot to check running apps but i dont expect any surprises because it was after a video watch. so yes a full screen app was working but there is no clue that it's for visual enhancement and it just disappears after a page refresh.
if it's a notification, i cant get to read it.
I wonder if it can override the gps icon? Maybe it's a notification that what you are using is accessing your location.
I've checked it with the notifications log, it was empty. So it's probably the hidden icon of the running video app in fullscreen. it emerges when i use mx player, as well. thanks for the brainstorming

Mod or feature for two line of notification icons?

Hello,
I have been using the F1 for one month now, and I love the power and photo quality of this phone for it's price.
But one thing is a problem for me: the notch.
In one hand, I like having a display that is covering the maximum of the front of the phone, and in the other hand this big thing is allowing only to see a few notifications and system icons.
With MiUi 10, we have a feature to display the notifications under the clock (see here), but with Custom Roms like LineageOS you can only have two or three icons, or hide the clock, and this become also a problem on the right side when you have wifi, cellular data, bluetooth, GPS and the battery icon: somes disappear and are replaced by a dot on the left, and you need to expand the notification panel to see the icons.
Because of these issues I am constantly using the feature that hides the notch by totally disabling the top part of the screen.
So my question is: is there any app/mod/anything that could make the status bar use the left and right side of the notch and a bar at the bottom like a normal phone?
I have made a concept in GIMP in the attachments.
Thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for my English
Have a great day,

Changing color, activation of Notifications?

On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
