How to enable SystemUI Tuner in stock B15 Nougat (root not required)

[flyer_andy]

Hey everybody...in case you'd like to access the SystemUI Tuner, you can do so by creating a shortcut to activity "SystemUI/.DemoMode" (see screenshot attached).

Activity launch widgets can be added in numerous ways but the easiest in my view is with Nova Launcher, which allows you to add a widget pointing to any activity (add widget --> Nova Launcher --> Activities)

Unfortunately, the Tuner isn't fully functioned insofar as the NFC icon and clock is concerned (you can't remove the AM/PM but you can add seconds or remove the clock totally from the Status Bar). Also, the carrier label cannot be removed in this way...and the "Other" section's option to "Enable split-screen swipe-up gesture" seems to be ineffective, I'm guessing because we don't have on-screen buttons.

I hope this helps! I didn't see any other mentions of this but if this is duplicate information please let me know...props to the creator of the following Youtube vid which is where I found this trick:

Tried it, and you're right. I was able to get the SystemUI Tuner to come up. Played with it a bit and really get the impression we're not missing much having it disabled.

Yeah...Agreed...Its not the most useful thing. Though I do like that it allows the removal of the alarm icon and the headset icon...Those both seem kind of superfluous to me in most cases.

Haha, so true.

Phone: "You have headphones plugged in"

Me (with headphones in my ears): "No kidding, Phone. Thanks for the heads up."

I just got the phone yesterday and updated to the latest version. How do I access the System UI Tuner? I pulled down notifications and help the settings button. It rolled, but I don't see anything new in the settings menu.

EDIT: Based on reading first post again, I need shortut as the std way doesn't work.

This trick also works, just need Nova Launcher

There is also a small app in the playstore called "activity launcher". No need for nova launcher if you don't use it.
