One of Android’s historically greatest strengths is customization, but not all of these have been addressed equally. In fact, among these aesthetic options, probably one of the most forgotten ones is the status bar. So far: Luckily there’s a free app you can install It provides a 180-degree rotation to the status bar in terms of both design and functionality.
It’s called Super Status Bar and it’s a very popular free app available on the Google Play Store with over a million downloads and a 4.4 rating. What can you do with it? Practically anything you can think of can be applied to the status bar.
How does Super Status Bar work and what can you do?
So between him most interesting features It has options to configure settings to change volume or brightness with just a gesture, can deftly display notifications with a line of text (leaving aside pop-ups, which I personally find annoying because of how invasive they are). (if you do), learn more about battery status, choose which icons to display, change their appearance and size… and even customize it to look like One UI, MIUI, or even iOS.
It will be necessary to grant permission to perform the above mentioned actions. Accessibility permissions (for gestures, notifications or bar customization) and Adjustment (For brightness). But for more advanced ones, like disabling the display of icons like Wi-Fi or network, ADB permissions are required. In any case, you can give it a good look without needing root.
As we explained above, the app is free, but as you navigate the menus, you’ll see that there are some (a few) payment options. However, the most interesting part of paying is not the extras, but getting rid of the ads that appear when navigating menus. In any case, most can be selected and tried for free, at the expense of occasional advertising.
