Features & Capabilities

Substratum Hide X & R is a simple yet effective Substratum theme mod designed to improve your device's status bar appearance by hiding the distracting X and R indicators. These symbols typically appear over the signal icon when mobile data is disabled (X) or roaming is active (R), which can be visually unappealing.

This extension specifically works on OnePlus Oxygen OS versions 9, 10, and 11, as well as various custom ROMs. To use it, you must first install the Substratum app from the Google Play Store. Then, apply the Hide X theme overlay via Substratum, rebuild, reboot, and enjoy a cleaner status bar without the unwanted indicators. Note that this extension is intended for users familiar with Substratum Theme Engine.

Improve your device's look effortlessly with Substratum Hide X & R.
