So I have Tasker and I’m a total novice with it.
I’d like to create a simple task that shows the auto-rotate icon in my status bar when auto-rotate is on. Then when it’s turned back off, make the icon disappear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think the only way to show the icon on the status bar with tasker is using the notification (notify task) and giving it an icon.
Profile: Detect Auto-rotation setting change Event: Custom Setting [ Type:System Name:accelerometer_rotation Value:* ] Enter Task: Un-notify if autorotate off A1: Custom Setting [ Type: System Name: accelerometer_rotation Read Setting To: %arstat ] A2: Notify Cancel [ Title: ar ] If [ %arstat ~ 0 ] A3: Notify [ Title: ar Icon: mw_device_screen_rotation Number: 0 Priority: 3 LED Colour: Red LED Rate: 0 ] If [ %arstat ~ 1 ]You can set the notification to silent.
I’ve used something called “System UI Tuner” in the past. It does what you ask, in that you can modify which status car icons are shown, amongst other things.
Haven’t tried it recently, not sure it still exists or works with newer versions of Android.
It still works for AOSP and AOSP-Like Roms but doesn’t work for OP on OneUI
I also mainly don’t use screen Auto Rotate, but I did make it a tile on the window shade. Rather than toggle it manually, I have Tasker enable rotation when an app that I want to auto-rotate is active on the screen, and disable it when that app is not active.
It doesn’t put anything up on the status bar, but if you can live without it knowing only certain apps do it, maybe it doesn’t matter.
Profile: Auto-rotate Apps Settings: Restore: yes Application: Sky Map, Camera, Gallery... Enter Task: Enable Auto-rotate A1: Display AutoRotate [ Set: On ] If [ %ROTATE_APP_LOCK Set ] A2: Variable Clear [ Name: %ROTATE_APP_LOCK ] Exit Task: Disable Auto-rotate A1: Variable Set [ Name: %ROTATE_APP_LOCK To: 1 ] If [ %ROTATE_APP_LOCK !Set ] A2: Display AutoRotate [ ]
