Cell carrier name takes the whole space in status bar
v0-12 changed the status bar to «improve readability » and I can't see the most useful things anymore: bluetooth device battery, Wi-Fi / Mobile data, whether I have notification or not, because the cell carrier name — which is **really useless**: I know who is my cell carrier and I don't need to see it **everytime** — is shown and takes the whole space. Summary
The problem
Steps to reproduce
Have a notch, or simulate it in android debug settings (android 9+)
What is the current behavior?
Cell carrier takes the whole space
What is the expected correct behavior?
Cell carrier isn't visible, it's not important. Wi-Fi / mobile data status are visible
