Google introduced a sweet hidden menu in Android Marshmallow called the System UI Tuner.
It packs a ton of neat little tweaks like hiding status bar icons or showing your battery percentage.
Heres how to turn it on, and what you’re able to do with it.
The System UI Tuner houses a ton of little options that can make your phone nicer to use.
To use it, youll need to be on Android Marshmallow or higher.
Tap and hold on the gear icon at the top of the screen for about five seconds.
Youll then see a message that says System UI Tuner has been added to prefs.
kick off the tweaks app on your phone and scroll to the bottom.
There youll find System UI Tuner.
This process may be different if youre using a skinned version of Android.
Once the menu is activated, here are some of the configs you’re free to tweak.
This setting will show your battery percentage on top of the battery icon in your status bar.
you might choose to only show the percentage while charging or all of the time.
For example, I dont need to see whether Bluetooth is enabled at all times.
If I need to check, I can scroll down the notification shade.
Unfortunately, it can guess wrong sometimes.
When active, your phone will automatically detect the time of day and adjust your displays color temperature accordingly.
It will also use the dark theme for apps like parameters where it can.
you could also block the normal volume buttons shortcut if youd rather not accidentally activate it.
Like the new Night Mode features, this tweak is exclusive to the Android N preview.
