System UI Tuner

About this app

First introduced in Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), Google included a hidden menu in stock Android with experimental options called System UI Tuner.

The option to launch System UI Tuner in Android version 9 and newer has been removed by Google, but the utility still exists in the system. This application will launch it if present.

This will work on all stock AOSP and Pixel builds of Android 9+. Third-party device manufacturers may choose to disable this menu completely in their Android builds. This does NOT work on Samsung devices! Samsung has removed the utility from their system software.

Ratings and reviews

This is now buggy on Motorola's Android 15 update. The top bar goes right up into the status bar, meaning you can't easily tap the 3 dots. Also, you now can't toggle the last entry in the 'Status bar' screen as it's completely obstructed by the navigation bar.

Love the app but after upgrading to Android 16, it no longer hides the battery icon. I'm looking forward to the update that fixes this. Thanks!

on Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1, I can no longer hide the battery icon - the option to do so is selected, but the battery icon remains... same with the time as well.
