How to Change the Status Bar Icons in iOS 7 (Video)

If we’re honest, there’s a lot going on in the status bar that you don’t really need. Besides that, there are other things you might want to add to it. Thanks to a jailbreak tweak called StatusModifier, you can do both. This jailbreak tweak allows you to adjust the date and time and show it in the status bar, remove the battery icon, and even display the amount of free RAM available.

I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad

To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our Jailbreak How To’s section and pick the jailbreak for your version of iOS (currently at the time of writing this is 7.0.4). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue.

II. Install StatusModifier

1. Open Cydia (if it isn’t still open from the section above).

2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.

3. Type in StatusModifier.

4. Tap on StatusModifier when it shows up.

5. Tap Install in the top right corner.

6. Tap Restart.

III. Setup StatusModifier

1. Go to Settings.

2. Tap on StatusModifier.

3. Adjust the time using the shortcodes provided to your liking.

4. Use other toggles to show available memory, time, battery, etc.

Enjoy!
