About Status

Status is a status bar replacement that draws an overlay on top of the system-generated status bar. This means that the actual status bar is only hidden under the replacement; touch gestures are not overridden, and the standard notification panel is still shown. It needs a lot of permissions in order to obtain the information needed to display in the status bar. These are listed below.

Permissions:
- Accessibility Service: used to attempt to get the status bar color of the current app if the 'status bar coloring' preference is enabled.
- Notification Access: used to get the icons of the current notifications.
- System Alert Window, System Overlay Window: used to draw the status bar above all other apps.
- Battery Stats: used to find if the battery is charging and what percent it is at.
- Network State, Phone State: gets the type and connection of the phone network, and if airplane mode is enabled.
- Wifi State: finds if wifi is enabled and how good the connection is.
- Bluetooth: find if bluetooth is enabled & connected or not.
- Location Services: finds if GPS is enabled.
- Alarm: find if an alarm is set.
- External Storage: backup/restore all settings from a file.

This app is and will remain ad-free and with no "pay to unlock this feature" popups. All I ask is that you provide some feedback about what I can do to improve your experience with this app.

Great app, life saver for non rooted folks! Works very well on my S7 Edge! Couple of requests: 1. Can you add a battery icon with percentage text in it? 2. Can you add data icon with animations for up and down data transmission? 3. Can you give some templates for uniform padding and stock appearances? 4. Bug found where notification icons disappear, but can only return if stop/start notification service. Thanks for your great work!

The status bar is now working great. Thanks and all symbols are there making it far better than alternatives. Maybe some apple type signal bars may be a nice touch or a new batch of icons. The latest ones are too thin to be visible at the top of my device. Can we have a way to make icons on solid status bar one colour? Or am I missing something?

by S####:

I love the customization options, they're perfect. The only problem is it constantly force closes and when the app restarts, it no longer recognizes incoming notifications. When I go to turn off notification access then turn it back on, it forces closes once again. Please fix, I'd like to see this app work fully.

by S####:

Would be great if reliable. One swipe down of notification bar and it resets to stock. It acts all weird on home screen too, transparent does a weird mirror image thing and turning that off makes it just pick a random colour which spoils it. Will be great if dev can fix these issues. I appreciate your work though

Awesome app! Just needs some margins both left and right due to curved corners of the screen of the Galaxy S8/S8+. Also, having the option for the status bar NOT to appear on the lockscreen would be great. Please update soon! Thanks so much!

V70%
by V####:

Awesome work. The designer is clearly very talented and the app is well thought out and easy to use Wish it could be uniform with the lock screen. The customization app crashes from time to time but the status bar is very reliable. Also some of the icons are kind of ugly. Needs more options

Best status bar changer I used so far. The only problem that I encounter using these is that data connection status does not appear .. Also it force stop and return to my stock status bar for a while. It is good if it completely overlay the stock status bar. All in all great app. Nice work

I70%
by I####:

Very nice UI and a lot of option. But it rarely works, most the time my standard status bar is displayed. When the status app is up I cannot see any notifications, I have checked settings. Once stable it will be 5 stars.

Y70%
by Y####:

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android Kitkat, and the status bar works well yet, I can't see notification icons on the status bar, and I have to drag the staus bar down to see what notifications have came in. I know this can't be right. I've tried what you suggested in the faq but it didn't help. Other than that, good app

The things this app can do are amazing. I really like it, I do. BUT, then there is this bug. It just stops working. When I start the app it says it needs Accessibility Access. Going to the settings I can see it already has access to it. I then need to turn off Twilight's draw over other apps permission for some stupid reason, turn off and on Accessibility Access for Status. It then works for everything from 1 hour to a few days, then the same thing happens again. Answer to developer: Oh. Well I know you can't help the thing with Twilight. I would have liked an answer to the bug report I sent a month ago though. Just so that I know you've seen it ;) Answer 2: Oh really? Ok then. It is a great app, and I thank you for it.

Great and does what I expected. Only issues are that the status bar returns to system default moving from lock to home screen. Have to pull down notifications and custom bar returns. Plus the background colour change on the bar is not consistent, sometimes its as selected and others its the default. Little annoying.

I really love this App! It let's me customize my Status bar but unfortunately my app frequently crashes always saying "Status has stopped working" this is not enough to make me delete the app but it can get a bit peckish at times. Please fix this bug and you have a 5 star review!

Doesn't work correctly on my Note 5 with Nugent. Only shows non-system notifications for a bit, then they disappear never to return. I want this so to work. Tried it again & again, but never works. Emailed developer. Never responded.

by R####:

Great!! Except for one thing. Whenever i turn on my mobile data, it doesn't appear quickly. It looks like it does not refresh quick or something but please fix these. After that I'll rate this app 5 ⭐ since this app works really great!

S7 Edge - Keeps asking for services permissions endlessly (permissions have been verified active). I have turned them off then back on to no avail. Tried clearing cache and uninstalling/reinstalling. *UPDATE* Was able to fix by uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, but lost my backup so have to start from scratch. Application notifications have never worked, but everything works great. Please include a way to donate. I always want to support devs that do great work.

I've wanted to have the month and day in the status bar for the 5 years I've used android. This provides it. One small issue: after I have pulled down the status bar to see notifications, then closed the notifications, the stock status bar reappears until I run some app.

E70%
by E####:

Great idea only the whole thing disappears every time i pull down the tray, the BT icon shows disconnected despite BT devices being connected and the WiFi icon shows a weak signal 2m away from the router and all other apps showing full strength signal. Despite given access and proper setup no notifications show whatsoever.

It doesnt work very well on my cherry mobile flare x.. When i open my data conection.. The 4g sign appear but when i close it.. 4g sign remain on status.. Same problem when i insert a earphone.. Plz fix this and i rate it 5 star plz

by E####:

This app is great. It looks great and has many options. The only problem is the transparency on the homescreen and in apps. It should take the color or appearance of the overscroll glow. For instance if it was red, that means the status bar should turn red too depending on which app it is.

Use lot of power. Hye I really love this app it smooth and no lag. But it use more power and drain my battery power I use lenovo a536. One more thing this app slow down my internet lol I hope you fix it for latest update

Can't get it to work, constantly saying apps are drawing over the screen so can't set up, 100% I've disabled any other apps like messenger or Twilight that usually are the problem. Pointless install

Great app love the status bar tweaks much needed on Android. Would give 5 stars except notice alot of bugs. The app crashes frequently and doesn't seem to show notifications properly please fix

H70%
by H####:

It just doesn't show my notification icons, even after trying the help trouble shooter. I really started to like the new look of my status bar but I can't use it without notification icons :/

by S####:

With no root and no xposed, this app got my attention real quick. Unfortunately there are a couple glaring issues but my primary complaint is that no matter what I do the status bar changes to blue on the home screen unless I set to transparent which doesn't work correctly since my wallpaper scrolls. Since the transparency can't work correctly I just want my status bar to be always black... This needs to be fixed.

S70%
by S####:

It could be good if fully developed. It doesn't work on KitKat device. Works on Android 7.0, but it doesn't disappear when it should (even where programmed to do so). Why does it have to run in the background when it's turned off? Unfortunately, will probably have to give up on it. Advise to developer: add a widget to turn it on/off (doubtful this will happen, due to pride). Must at least add a way to refresh it, as it often randomly crashes and omits certain notifications, then it's difficult to bring those notifications back, forcing you to shut it down and revert back to standard notifications, then clear all data and totally re-program the app yet again. This is a no-response, doesn't care developer. Uninstalled.

Absolutely gorgeous status bar. The only thing I wish is possible is having it be truly transparent, but that's not possible as it's an overlay. The only issue I have now is that after updating to Nougat, app notifications disappear after a while from the status bar. When I expand my notifications, however, they are still there.

This app is good and completely modifies your status bar without root. But every time I open it, it has stopped working and every time I need to turn on accessibility for this app to let it work. It is very discomfort able. So please help. Else nice app

Its better then stock thats for sure. When on app it crashes alot. The biggest downfall for me is that it doesnt work with live wallpaper. Would i download considering the above? Yes i would.

Goes away once I close the app. I hate how all these apps won't work unless they are open. Only way to do this is with root. Don't even try.

App does what it says, but be wary of burn-in on your screen. I used the app for a week, now there's a permanent mark from where the time and status bar used to be. Dev support is A+ though and James is working on a solution - appreciate it.

I have a problem with this app, this app is showing some icons by default on notification bar although there is background process running and no notification from those apps. I can share screenshots of this error, Please help me.

I love the concept. It crashes every time I get a Snapchat notification. Once it restarts, it won't show any notifications. I have to go back through the setup to re-enable. I also can't hide the T-Mobile WiFi calling notification. Galaxy S8+ 7.0

by L####:

One of the rare apps that let you customize your status bar and works really good. Only thing is that it does not auto start at boot and has to be manually launched. Please make it auto start

Stupid gray box covers up my keyboard when I type anything or switch apps, but the bar will work!!!!!

Thank you!

This version is awesome, smooth and fast enough، I really wanted the ability to add more icons for WiFi or network, and I'm using round corner app to rounding corners of the screen and with this app it's not working for status bar.but totally it's the best replacement for now Sony Z5 premium dual

Good except for minor bugs for Samsung 6 Edge (Android 6.01). Does not automatically change time upon change in time zone. Does not 'hide' the system status bar 100% of the time.

Q70%
by Q####:

It is a very good & useful app, but it does not show the perfect network status.It always shows full network while my phone has not full network. Please fix it & make it to show the perfect network. Otherwise it is the best app to change status bar. Thank you for the awesome app
