[Android General] boxguy1:
Hi guys I found this cool app on the Google play store by James Fenn it allows you to modify the status bar without root it might not work flawlessly but it does this is job this does not work in the lockscreen and live/scrolling wallpaper screenshots below

FEATURES

Center Clock option

Carrier Name

Battery Percentage display

Headphone Indicator

Minimal battery usage I tested it

Material design works in most application

Custom color adjustment for applications

Quote from James Fenn Below

"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."

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.

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.

Current Issues

Heads-up notifications dismiss keyboard

Yep.

Resize LinearLayouts for multiple icons

Since the LinearLayouts currently only take up half of the status bar (or half the status bar minus half the width of the center layout, if there are any centered icons), it is possible for them to run out of space and get cut off on small screens. A warning for this would probably be a good idea...

Backup SharedPreferences to file

Does what it says. It would be a pretty useful option, but a bit impractical where updates are concerned.

Data and signal icons are shown incorrectly

They usually (I've had a few occurrences where they do actually work properly) refuse to disappear when airplane mode is enabled or when wifi is turned off. No clue why.

Needs support for dual sim phones

I've created an IconData class for it [here](https://github.com/TheAndroidMaster...s/status/data/icon/DualNetworkIconData.java), but it doesn't seem to be working properly.

Notifications don't dismiss properly below android 4.3

Notification listener api isn't available, listens for notifications through the AccessibilityService but cannot detect when they are dismissed - temporary solution: remove all icons when the notification panel is opened.
