My phone shows only three app notification icons in the status bar at most, but there is space for six (most of the time).

How can I increase/change the maximum number of notifications shown at once?

I don’t care if they end up overlapping with system indicators on the right.

I run CyanogenMod 7.1 (rooted, s-off, adb available, compiler as well...) and editing the source is acceptable.

Not sure if this is possible without actually editing the Android source (CM source, etc.). – Bryan Denny♦ Jun 1 '12 at 14:17
Source edit is fine, but where? – Robert Siemer Jun 2 '12 at 10:14
That question is a bit out of scope here, I would ask on StackOverflow.com. I've never altered the Android source, so unfortunately I can't point you in the right direction. – Bryan Denny♦ Jun 4 '12 at 13:18
You would need to edit SystemUI. – Richard Borcsik Jun 5 '12 at 10:45

Number of icon to show on status bar depends on programmer how he wrote that status bar application code . We really can't do much here. You should be contacting customer support of developers of CyanogenMod 7.1 they might consider your request and change it to your needs.

Wrong. It does not solely depend on the application. – I would vote you down, if I could. – Robert Siemer Jun 2 '12 at 10:17
@RobertSiemer : Hey, Can I know other factors on which it depends other than application? – Sagar Jun 4 '12 at 7:04
The operating system itself. – On my phone, right now, two unrelated applications and their icon (WifiKeyboard and SL4A) get folded into one icon with a red circle and a “2” in it. But I was thinking last night about what I said: I would not vote you down anymore, because I’m not entirely sure if those apps indicate some “allow folding my icon”. – In the end it has to be the Android framework which does start doing so at some point. – I want to control whether it does, and at which point. – Robert Siemer Jun 4 '12 at 12:55
@RobertSiemer : This Statusbar code is in framework. So when I said status bar app, I meant framework and developers of CyanogenMod 7.1 can change it. – Sagar Jun 5 '12 at 7:01
