A message from the idiot that wrote this program:
Status has not been abandoned, but is now incompatible with a growing range of devices due to a variety of problems detailed in issue #87. Unfortunately, there is nothing that I or any other developer can do to prevent this. If the Play Store says that your device is incompatible, then there is nothing that I can do to help you other than point you to one of the links below about why it will not function.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/04/10/android-o-feature-spotlight-apps-can-no-longer-draw-top-system-ui/ https://www.xda-developers.com/android-o-is-breaking-apps-that-overlay-on-top-of-the-status-bar/ https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36574245
Status will continue to receive support for devices below Android Oreo for as long as it remains in the interest of the community.
Status is a status bar replacement that draws an overlay on top of the system-generated status bar. This means that the actual status bar is only hidden under the replacement; touch gestures are not overridden, and the standard notification panel is still shown. It needs a lot of permissions in order to obtain the information needed to display in the status bar. These are listed below.
Special thanks to the contributors that have helped to design the app, fix ssues, and translate it to different languages:
Also, credit to some of Status's other icon sources:
The app is available from both Google Play and F-Droid. However, because of Google Play's policies regarding certain app permissions and battery optimization, some features may not be included in the Google Play version of the app.

Alternatively, you can download the latest APK from the GitHub releases.
Okay, there aren't really any guidelines over issue formatting provided that you don't create issues that already exist and test the app thoroughly before creating an issue (ex: try clearing the app data).
Contributions are accepted. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.
There used to be a list of all the possible icon formats here to use as a reference, but I stopped updating it and it's pretty useless now. If you want to make status bar icons to add to this app, either contact me or look in the repository for the existing icon files.
