Features & Capabilities

System UI Tuner Shortcut for Android 9 and Newer

First introduced in Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the System UI Tuner is a hidden menu offering experimental customization options in stock Android. Although Google removed the direct access to this feature starting with Android 9, the underlying utility remains present in the system. This Chrome extension acts as a shortcut to launch the System UI Tuner on all stock AOSP and Pixel devices running Android 9 or newer, unlocking the hidden settings you want to explore.

Please note that this extension does not work with Samsung devices, as Samsung has completely removed the System UI Tuner utility from their Android builds. If you have a compatible device, this tool simplifies access to powerful UI customization features that were previously harder to reach.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for showing seconds in the status bar and tidying the status bar with a simple flow. However, several mention compatibility issues with Android 16 and related updates, especially around hiding time/battery information. Some report weather banner display problems and limited device support. Overall, the app is valued for its core function and ease of use, but needs fixes for newer Android versions and feature consistency.
Pros
  • Displays seconds in the status bar
  • Helps declutter and customize the status bar by hiding icons
  • Simple, quick to use with a straightforward UI (two taps, no ADB commands)
  • Works across devices and versions (e.g., OnePlus 13R) and generally meets expectations
Cons
  • Android 16 / latest Android versions cause compatibility issues and some features stop working
  • Cannot hide time (and battery) after updates on some devices
  • Weather banner display problems or missing toggle after updates
  • Inconsistent device support / not available on all phones
