Bangs became a trendy feature on smartphones in 2018 and were met with completely different reactions. You either hated them or loved them, there was no other option. In general, we can say that this is a completely normal innovation, and if your smartphone has such a bang, then there is nothing terrible about it and it can be easily disguised.
Most manufacturers have built-in utilities that allow you to hide the bangs by adding a black stripe on either side of the speaker for a more uniform look. You can also do this with a third-party app called Nacho Notch, but let's look at a few other similar apps that will not hide, but rather embellish this "flaw."
EdgeMask
Edge Mask offers edge lighting and a new style of notifications (Dynamic Island). The app works with all types of displays. For example, you can create a Batman symbol that lights up every time you receive a new notification.
You can customize the color yourself or choose a two-color combination for notifications. Edge Mask offers custom settings, and you can also choose from several preset styles: Ripple, Bookmark, Samsung or Apple. The app is free, but contains ads.
Status bar & Notch Custom Colors
By using Status bar & Notch Custom Colors You can customize the status bar with custom frames, colors, and presets. Choose a color, frame, and apply them based on your phone's settings. You can choose from several different geometric patterns, such as waves and zigzags.
You can use not only solid colors, but also add up to four color combinations that will look concise on your smartphone. The application is free and has a small amount of advertising, which can be disabled for $ 2.
Energy Bar
Energy Bar is located just above the status bar, and you can customize its thickness and position. Although the Energy Bar doesn't display the battery percentage in numbers, you can choose a feature that will show different colors at different charge levels.
For example, you can set a different color for each low battery on the 20%, allowing you to see the battery level just by looking at the color of the indicator panel. You can also set the panel to a single color or a gradient.
Muviz
Muviz Adds a music visualizer to the status bar, navigation bar or battery level. You can choose from the list of the most popular styles or create your own. You can customize the shape, color, gradient, size, height, scaling and transparency.
All user settings are saved in the application, which can be synchronized with your Google account. If necessary, you can specify in which applications the visualizer will be shown and in which it will not.
Battery Meter
The application places Battery Meter right under the notch on the screen. You can choose from 15 different styles and customize the layout for each individual theme. The default position of this app is right under the notch, but if your phone does not have a notch, you can put the battery indicator in the status bar by enabling the necessary settings as follows: "Battery Meter App > Settings > Overlay Status Bar".
If you can't adjust the widget size in the free version, you should unlock all the advanced features (adjust the counter position, zoom, change color) for $2.
Notch Battery Bar
Application Notch Battery Bar supports almost all bangs styles, including teardrops. It does not require any special permissions except for the battery optimization permission. You can adjust the height and width to center the battery bar.
For Android 9 users, you may need to grant special access to Notch Battery as the OS automatically closes any process running in the background. You can do this manually in the Notch Battery options so that it can be displayed while the app is running in the background. To do this, follow the path “Settings → Battery → Battery optimization → Notch Battery → Do not optimize”.
