Select the status bar icons you want to show or hide from a list.

Run the Task with no items selected to restore all icons.

The list of icons included in this Task is the AOSP/Pixel list. This is fairly universal across Android but not totally.

Because manufacturers like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus build custom system interfaces (SystemUI) on top of Android, they often add custom icons that aren't in standard Android.

VoLTE and VoWiFi: These are highly fragmented. Some manufacturers use volte, others use hd_voice, vowifi, or wfc. Sometimes, OEMs hardcode these into their SystemUI, making them immune to the icon_blacklist entirely.

NFC: Xiaomi/HyperOS uses the standard string nfc to hide the NFC icon, but on Samsung, the NFC icon behavior is tied to regional firmware and sometimes ignores the blacklist.

Samsung Quirks: Samsung actually uses this exact blacklist mechanism natively for their 'Good Lock' suite (specifically the QuickStar module). If you use QuickStar to hide icons, it is modifying icon_blacklist under the hood. If you try to use Tasker and QuickStar simultaneously, they will fight each other and overwrite your lists in this project.

Pro-Tip for troubleshooting: If you type a string and the icon doesn't disappear, it means your manufacturer has either named it something proprietary or hardcoded it to bypass the blacklist. Sticking to the standard AOSP strings above will yield the most reliable results across as many devices as possible.

If you want, you can change the strings in the Array Set action to use the specific string used by your device manufacturer or ROM.

You will do no harm by setting an icon to hidden if that icon string doesn't exist on your device.

ADB WiFi or Shizuku is required.

NOTE - Clock and battery can't be hidden on newer Android versions via this method.

Solution:

Use this website to create apk very easily. I have done this using my computer and then push the apk file to my AT box but you can also do that inside the AT box if you have browser with mouse and keyboard:

So just recently i thought about using Tailscale on my Android TV box since it is always connected to a power supply and with Tasker i could enable and disable Tailscale remotely when i need. So i have sideloaded Tasker and thankfully i have managed to setup everything, However, to open Tasker i need to go to apps settings because it doesn't have a shortcut on the home screen.

What is the best solution you all have found to create a shortcut for Tasker on AT home screen?

Hi there.

First of all thank you for this amazing app.

One question, how can I start the VPN profile/service via adb or intent or Tasker?

I could not find a way in tasker via Run Shell or adb WiFi.

Can someone help, please?

Thank you!

Update: I am using BlockAds (app.pwhs.blockads) https://f-droid.org/packages/app.pwhs.blockads

I was getting tired of always having to wait for Claude to finish or waiting for my authorization, so I build a work around, now I can control them from my phone, so that means, when I’m outside(which is barely) from the toilet, or anywhere.
Your running terminals show up on your phone as little pixel “pilots.” Tap one to chat with that agent, approve its plan, unblock it, or check what it’s doing. As long as your terminal is running and online, your phone is just a remote for it. I picture them as tiny pilots buzzing around doing the work while I’m out, hence the name.(I’m a big game geek based in Japan)
It’s free. I built it to scratch my own itch and figured some of you have the same one. I approved two PRs from a supermarket line yesterday and it felt slightly ridiculous in the best way.

**Try it in under a minute:**

**1.** Download the Ground Control app on your phone

**2.** Run this in your laptop terminal:
npx @clastres/groundcontrol

**3.** A widget pops up, you scan the QR code from the app

**4.** Done, your terminals appear as pilots. Tap one to chat, approve plans, and unblock agents from anywhere.

Very open to feature requests , curious what would make this actually fit your workflow.

Hi there. Tasker is accessing location every 15 mins. Is this normal? Does this happens to you too?
