Figure it'd be useful to have a status bar modification thread. :)

From iOS 3 to 6, I have modified my status bar to hide a few things, and also add icons for text messages, mail and notifications received.

In iOS 6, I used Springtomize to hide the stuff I didn't want, and LockInfo to give me the status bar icons I wanted...

Springtomize is a bit buggy in iOS 7, and I don't need all the tweaks. Is there anything else out there that lets you specifically hide certain status bar icons (and modify the carrier text?)

LockInfo simply isn't out yet, and again, I might not need all of it's features... is there any mod out there that gives status bar icons for messages, mail and notifications?

Thanks :D
 
StatusModifier: Can remove carrier, modify time string, show free memory, hide battery.

Bolt: Can show a lightning bolt when charging. Can show the battery percentage calculated as CurrentCapacity / MaxCapacity instead of the normal calculation method used by Apple. As an example, Bolt currently says my battery is 86% (1319 mAh / 1529 mAh), whereas Apple says my battery is currently at 91%.

Bars: Can replace the iOS7 cell signal dots with the old style bars.

Flex: Can disable almost all (and possibly all) statusbar icons, change carrier text, disable status bar completely in certain areas.

OpenNotifier (not updated for iOS7 but I saw a tweet from the developer saying it is being worked on): Can add icons when individual apps have new messages.

Awesome stuff, I'll have to check some of it out. Thanks!
 
Installed StatusModifier, Bolt and Bars. Good stuff.

StatusModifier can be a bit buggy with the custom date string, but resprings/reboots set things straight. :)

Still keeping my ear to the ground for notification icons.
