any GOOD custom statusbar app for s3 (non-rooted)

**funkylogik** · 10-08-2012, 01:41 AM

what i want is to change colour of time, maybe make it bolder, and remove stock battery icon and signal bars BUT keep 3rd party icons that i like (Battery Notifier in my case)
ive checked out a few just by searchin "status bar" in playstore but they either crash a lot or totaly put a skin over the stock statusbar hiding BN

is skinning over the stock statusbar the only realistic non-root option for a dev?

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

Just root already

CleanROM w/ crapMods and you're all set... Stock with added features/tweaks.

I believe omega status bar works without root

On my Samsung galaxy s3 running android 4.0

Because unlike ios, i keep my apps in app drawers, and not in infinite cluttered homescreens

How have you managed to keep your notifications with omega (if you have)

Rooting with a custom rom takes away all Samsung features (WiFi-Direct, Kies Air, All Share, and probably Smart Screen and all those "Smart" stuff)...I wish you could do more without having to have these taken away

Not if you're using a TouchWiz ROM..CleanROM is the same exact thing as the stock ROM with some added features (its built from the stock ROM)...you don't lose anything.

I don't use it, but I believe it's an overlay kind of app that just picks up whatever notifications that are sent to your regular status bar
