## Description

SystemUI Tuner is a powerful Android app that unlocks hidden customization options in your device's System UI without requiring root access. It acts as a replacement for the built-in Android System UI Tuner, enabling you to control which icons appear in your status bar, customize Demo Mode, adjust notification importance levels, toggle immersive mode, and modify Quick Settings.

While most features work on devices running Android Marshmallow (6.0) and above, some heavily customized OEM versions like Samsung's TouchWiz or MIUI may have limited support. The app requires some permissions granted via ADB commands for full functionality but does not use root by default. Changes made are permanent and may not be reversible by uninstalling the app. SystemUI Tuner is ideal for users looking to personalize their Android experience and access hidden settings beyond standard options.

## Review summary

Mixed feedback. Many users praise no-root persistence and customization features, with settings that survive reboots and gesture/dev-option tweaks. However, multiple reviewers report compatibility issues on newer Android versions or devices; root or permission hurdles; intrusive system changes that disrupt Quick Settings; some features failing or stability problems; and occasional concerns about the app’s legitimacy. Effectiveness depends heavily on device/OS version and user expectations.

### Pros

- No root required to modify many settings
- Settings persist across reboot (persistent options)
- Strong customization options (disable back gestures, tweak dev options)
- Generally positive impact and satisfaction when it works

### Cons

- Not compatible with newer Android versions and devices; frequent reports of non-functionality
- Requires root or faces permission denial on many devices
- System intrusion that disrupts Quick Settings
- Some features do not work or cause stability issues (e.g., warnings, ADB timeout)
- Perceived legitimacy concerns (some users call it fake)
