Protean cydia tweak lets you customize the iPhone Status Bar on iOS 7.



The status bar is an important aspect of iOS. You regularly take a peek at it to view things such as the time, current wifi/data connections, battery level, and the list goes on. The problem is that the status bar is lacking features, and is nowhere near customizable. Protean changes this. It provides incredible levels of customization to the status bar - from arranging and hiding items, to modifying items, to even adding new ones.


Protean is developed by Elijah and Andrew.


Protean can be configured through the tweak’s preferences menu that is added to the Settings app after installing the package from Cydia. Its options include organizing the arrangement of the Status Bar items and menus for customizing the total notification count, applications, system icons, flipswitches and connected Bluetooth devices.
Protean fully supports libstatusbar and any tweak that uses it. If you have/are aware of a tweak that has a status bar icon and it appears badly under the Organization tab.

Features -Arranging status bar items -Hiding status bar icons -Adding applications, flipswitches, total notification count, and bluetooth devices into the status bar -Tap actions for all the aforementioned choices and system icons -Change the size of the abnormally large lock screen status bar -Show signal RSSI (It is recommended to install RSSIPeek to quickly peek at signal and WiFi RSSI) -Show/hide the time item on the lock screen -Change the battery percentage style (3 to choose from: default, no percent sign, and textual) -Customizing the carrier name -Custom time formats, including lowercase AM/PM
