Despite the fact that Super Status Bar previously supported devices with OS Android 2.1, now the program only works with OS Android 4.0 and more recent versions of systems. This is due to the presence of a function with a transparent curtain.

While using Super Status Bar I had several problems: critical errors when opening application settings (solved by installing older versions), periodic freezing of the program, incorrect function " transparent background"and the inability to close the curtain by pressing the "back" key. There are a lot of problems with the application, a lot...

Super Status Bar works adequately with tablets running Android 4.4 and later.

conclusions

If previously Super Status Bar was the only option for changing the “status bar”, now the program can be written as an outsider. After all, she has 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 combine well with Material Design and works rather mediocre.

If we summarize all the main points about the Super Status Bar application, then it is difficult to recommend it, much less buy the premium version.

A few days before the official release of the new iOS versions, a supposedly offended Apple employee, posted iOS 11 Golden Master online, 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 Rambo took the release apart and published some interesting details about the split status bar panel in new iPhone X with OLED display (assuming 12 September Apple will present three smartphones at once: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X).

As an analysis of iOS 11 Golden Master showed (the firmware is no longer publicly available), the status panel in the iPhone X is presented in the form of two animated “ears” in the upper corners of the screen. The time will be displayed on the left, and the signal strength on the right. cellular communications, Wi-Fi and battery level. At iPhone connection X to charger The battery charge indicator will increase slightly in size. In this way, the smartphone will let the owner know that the connection to the power source was successful (then the indicator will return to normal size).

iPhone X also includes a new way to determine whether screen recording is enabled during telephone conversation. If recording is enabled, the clock in the upper left corner will be highlighted in red. Green color will indicate that the user is talking on the phone, but not in the Phone application. This method will replace the enlarging indicator panel present in iOS 10, which moves the status bar down and displays notifications about running applications. background applications.

Directly below the clock there will be an icon that allows you to return to the last used application in just one tap.

At first, Troughton-Smith suggested that the small bouncing dot on the right side of the status bar might represent page tabs. However, as a more detailed analysis of the firmware showed, this dot represents a kind of “network activity indicator”, since it pulsates from time to time and disappears in airplane mode.

To support this theory, Rambo posted a video that shows the dot moving back and forth as media files (such as videos) are downloaded to the smartphone. The arrow indicating geolocation services is now located to the right of the clock.

The main informative element user interface iPhone and iPad had and still have a status bar. It displays the name of the operator, current time, battery level, cellular signal and other important indicators. MacDigger offers a selection of 10 tweaks for the status bar that will make iOS an even more attractive and easy-to-use system.

#PlayMe2

Thanks to the #PlayMe2 add-on, an iPhone owner can see the title of a song when playing a track on mobile device. Similar programs have existed on Mac and PC for a long time. Why not add the same functionality to the iPhone, especially since iOS provides a status bar?

The utility is intended for music lovers and anyone who often listens to music. Really convenient: the iOS status bar shows the track title and artist name. This way you will always know what song is playing in your headphones or speakers on your iOS device.

Alkaline

The Alkaline jailbreak add-on is designed to replace the battery icon in the iOS 7 status bar. The application is very simple and at the same time offers a unique opportunity to customize the iOS 7 user interface. Just like other “unofficial” decorations for smartphones and tablets, Alkaline is installed from the store Cydia. The main difference between the new product and similar developments is that it changes the iOS 7 interface elements without installing WinterBoard.

Arco

The Arco jailbreak tweak adds a minor but very useful feature to iOS - a music playback indicator for the status bar. It is noteworthy that all proceeds from the sale of this tweak are donated to charity, in favor of the Cancer Foundation.

The Arco tweak for iPhone does not carry any great semantic load and performs a purely decorative function - it clearly demonstrates in the iPhone status bar the state of the playing musical composition (play, pause, time until the end of the track).

StatusbarWeather7

Using the free tweak StatusbarWeather7, you can find out the weather forecast using the icon in the iOS status bar. This utility released by a developer under the nickname Whynot.

The advantage of StatusbarWeather7 over numerous analogues from App Store is that the tweak is tightly integrated into iOS 7. And in order to find out the ambient temperature and cloudiness, just glance at the status bar of the operating system.

StatusHUD 2

StatusHUD 2 is an updated visual add-on for iOS devices. According to the developer's idea, instead of the standard window that appears when changing the volume in the center of the iDevice screen, in iOS a small indicator appears in the iPhone status bar. The design of the latter can be changed in the tweak settings. This can be a series of squares or circles in the style of iOS 7, the number of which indicates the volume level set in the system.

StatusModifier

The App Store has hundreds of programs that determine important indicators - date, processor load, available RAM, weather. However, it is impossible to monitor these parameters while performing other tasks, since iOS does not allow you to display multiple windows at the same time.

StatusModifier and StatusWeather - two tweaks for iPhone and iPad that demonstrate the date, amount of available random access memory and weather forecast in the iOS status bar. The advantage of these solutions over numerous “official” analogues from the Apple store is that they are closely integrated into operating system. Thus, to find out the indicators, just look at the status bar.

StatusPeek

When running full-screen apps on iPhone, the status bar disappears from the screen. At the same time, if you make one swipe from top to bottom, a small Notification Center slider will appear; after the second swipe, the Notification Center itself will appear. StatusPeek shows a status bar instead of a slider.

TypeStatus

TypeStatus will be useful for active users of Apple messenger. The utility displays a special notification when the subscriber on the other side begins to type a message. The indicator appears on the top line of the iPhone. Without setting TypeStatus, the “interlocutor is writing” status, which serves to notify about the user’s activity on the other side, is only available in the Messages application and only when the application is displayed on the screen.

Wink

Wink gives you complete control over the iOS status bar and even allows you to completely hide the status bar from the screen. The tweak turns the status bar into a pop-up window, the method of calling which is set in the corresponding section of “Settings”. The user can customize the appearance of the panel using double tap and the time in seconds after which it will disappear from the screen again. Additional options You can define the status lines yourself.

Zeppelin

Want to change the carrier name in your iPhone's status bar to something more original? You can do this literally in one touch using Zeppelin. This is a unique addition that replaces the text name of one of the original icons.

After installing the tweak from Cydia, a new Zeppelin section appears in the settings. It has two options: Enabled and Theme. The first item turns the add-on on and off, and with the second you can select one of the appropriate icons. The logo turns on without rebooting the home screen (respring). There are 19 images of real and fictional companies and products to choose from, including Apple, Android, Assassin's Creed, Pac-Man, Decepticons and more.

Jailbreak changes a lot in iOS, and these changes are not always possible without negative consequences for users. for iOS 7 it came out relatively stable and reliable, but it cannot be called completely bug-free. For example, the vast majority of users encountered problems displaying status bar. iOS 7 independently decides in what color to display it. On dark background The status bar should be white, on light - black. But after jailbreak, the logic of the status bar is broken, and in some applications black font always starts to be displayed. Take a look at the calculator, video player or camera in iOS 7 and you'll see what we're talking about.

We will also talk about how you can fix this problem.

A small tweak called StatusBarFix2 from the repository repo.pnre.co.vu. It is installed in the same way as hundreds of other tweaks from Cydia:

• launch Cydia, go to the Manage tab, click Sources
• click Edit, then Add and enter the repository address 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 iOS graphical shell)

Then you will see that the status bar is now displayed in the correct color everywhere.
