Android OS is the best when it comes to allowing the user to customize the interface. There are basically two ways of doing this. Either as a user, you get superuser access or by using 3rd party applications from the Play Store. When we talk of superuser access we mean rooting the device. The process is not that simple for someone who is not prompt on technical grounds. No, I do not mean to offend but we get thousands of messages where people try to root their devices and end up bricking it.
So, the next alternative is to use third-party apps that make the customization a cakewalk. All you need to do is toggle a few settings on the app and in no time you will see your customization taking place. In this guide, we will try to modify the Android device status bar using a popular third party app. The process will involve no complex process like rooting the phone. It is super easy to customize the status bar of the Android device and we will tell you how to do that.
