I am trying to hide some status bar icons on MIUI 13.

Do you know of a way to hide icons such as Roaming, Mute, DND...?

enter image description here

I tried these without success:

  • adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist zen,mute,volume
  • Using the SystemUI Tuner app, grating all permissions.
  • Using the Activity Launcher and opening the System UI demo mode.
  • ADB AppControl

Old question but I faced the same issue so here is how I fixed it.

  1. First you must have the Developer status enabled.

  2. Then enable the following settings in the Developer options:

    USB debugging

    Wireless debugging

    USB debugging (Security settings)

  3. Restart phone and connect it to your computer where ABD is downloaded

  4. Open terminal where ADB is unzipped

  5. Do the following commands:

     ./adb devices

    This should list the device and show it connected

    ./adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc,zen,volume

    This will hide, respectively, the nfc icon, the dnd moon crescent icon and the muted bell icon

    Hey! Thanks for the answer. I might try again, but this is exactly what I did, and it didn't work for me, don't know why. I saw you added nfc, I wonder if there is one for the roaming icon too. – Bru Mas Ribera Nov 09 '22 at 12:33
  • If you get a requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS error, you need to enable the second USB debugging. It requires you to sign in to your Xiaomi account in the settings. – peterkodermac Nov 18 '22 at 08:19

I just went through the same on a POCO X5 5G and got the "requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" error.

Went looking for that "second USB debugging" that @peterkodermac mentioned and found it labelled "OEM unlocking".

The command

adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc

then worked well. No need to have the "zen" and "volume" things there... I'm not sure they do anything.

Don't forget to re-enable OEM unlocking after this. The phone will say that it needs to reboot in order to enable it again... fine!
