We choose an application for modernizing the status bar on android devices: Super Status Bar, Omega StatusBar and Material Status Bar. What will be the changed status bar (the panel where the clock is) in iPhone X Download status bar in ios style
A few days before the official release of the new iOS versions, allegedly offended employee Apple, posted on the Web iOS 11 Golden Master, which has become a real Golden Grail for users waiting for the release of a new smartphone from Cupertino.
Engineers Steve Troughton-Smith and Guilherme Rambeau took the release apart and posted some interesting details about the split status bar in new iPhone X with an OLED display (Apple is expected to introduce three smartphones on September 12: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X).
As the analysis of iOS 11 Golden Master (the firmware is no longer available in the public domain) showed, the status bar in the iPhone X is presented in the form of two animated “ear notches” in the upper corners of the screen. The left side will display the time, while the right side will display the signal strength. cellular communication, Wi-Fi and battery level. At connecting an iPhone X k charger The battery indicator will increase slightly in size. Thus, the smartphone will let the owner know that the connection to the power source was successful (then the indicator will return to normal size).
The iPhone X also implemented new way determine if screen recording is enabled during telephone conversation. If recording is on, the clock on the left upper corner will be highlighted in red. Green color will indicate that the user is talking on the phone, but not in the Phone app. This method will replace the growing indicator bar present in iOS 10, which pushes down the status bar and displays notifications about applications running in the background.
Directly under the clock there will be an icon that allows you to return to the last used application with just one tap.
At first, Troughton-Smith speculated that the small dangling dot on the right side of the status bar might mean page tabs. However, as a more detailed analysis of the firmware showed, this dot represents a kind of “network activity indicator”, since it periodically pulses and disappears in airplane mode.
In support of this theory, Rambaud posted a video from which it is clear that the dot moves back and forth when media files (for example, videos) are downloaded to the smartphone. The location services indicator arrow is now located to the right of the clock.

The application replaces the stock bar of Android OS with a curtain from iOS 7. Now notifications with detailed information sorted in the "Today" and "All" tabs, as well as conveniently displaying current events from the calendar or notes.
Characteristic
The seventh version of the "apple" operating system brought many innovations. Most of them did not suit the taste and were "finished" in subsequent versions.
But almost everyone appreciated the most convenient status bar with notifications, showing charging, displaying events from the calendar and separating all notifications into the “Today” and “All” tabs.
The public liked this status bar so much that soon a version of the curtain appeared for devices running the Android operating system. By installing this application, you will receive:
- Changed status bar and notification shade;
- A convenient system for displaying notifications and separating them into the “Today” and “All” tabs;
- Beautiful charging animation when connected to the network.
Peculiarities
The program can be installed on any mobile devices operating on the basis of the Android operating system version higher than 2.3.6. However, events from the calendar will only be displayed on devices with Android version above 4.0.4.
It is worth noting that the utility is primarily aimed at users in the US and Europe, therefore it does not have an official Russian-language interface. But the craftsmen from the w3bsit3-dns.com forum were able to make Russian localization. However, the minimalism inherent in the design of Apple allows you to deal with all the functions even without knowledge of a foreign language.
Jailbreak changes a lot in iOS, and these changes are not always without negative consequences for users. for iOS 7 came out relatively stable and reliable, but it is impossible to call it completely bug-free. For example, the vast majority of users encountered problems in displaying status bar. iOS 7 decides on its own what color to display it in. On dark background the status bar should be white, on a light bar it should be black. But after the jailbreak, the logic of the status bar is broken, and in some applications the black font always starts to be displayed. Check out the iOS 7 calculator, video player, or camera and you'll see what we're talking about.
We'll also talk about how you can fix this problem.
A small tweak called StatusBarFix2 from the repository repo.pnre.co.vu. It installs exactly like hundreds of other tweaks from Cydia:
- launch Cydia, go to Manage tab, click Sources
- click Edit, then Add and enter the address of the repository repo.pnre.co.vu
- wait while Cydia downloads the list of packages and all the necessary information from the repository
- click on the name of the added repository on the screen with the list of repositories
- select tweak StatusBarFix2, click Install, then Confirm
- agree to respring (restarting the graphical shell of iOS)
Then you will see that the status bar is displayed in the correct color everywhere.
Despite the fact that Super Status Bar previously supported devices with OC Android 2.1, now the program only works with OC Android 4.0 and later systems. This is due to the presence of a function with a transparent curtain.
advertising
While using the Super Status Bar, I had several problems: critical errors when opening the application settings (decided by installing older versions), periodic program freezes, incorrect function " transparent background” and the impossibility of closing the curtain by pressing the “back” key. A lot of problems with the application, a lot ...Super Status Bar works adequately with tablets on OC Android 4.4 and newer.
conclusions
If earlier the Super Status Bar was the only option for changing the "status bar", now the program can be written as an outsider. 'Cause she's lost her relevance Last update was in 2015, and it did not concern updating the design or adding new features. In addition, the program does not fit well with Material Design and works rather mediocrely.
If you summarize all the main points on the Super Status Bar application, then it is difficult to recommend it, much less buy a premium version.
