How to Unlock System UI Turner (iot hidden menu) On Your Phone?

To access the secret menu and customize your smartphone, you need to unlock or enable the iothiddenmenu app on your phone. Instead of “IoT hidden menu settings”, it’s now known as “System UI Tuner”. Using it, you can tweak your Android device’s clock, lock screen, and app notifications.  This new feature is available in Android Marshmallow (version 6.0).

You can access the System UI Tuner using the steps below:

  • Unlock your phone first.
  • Swipe the notification bar down and go to the Setting(gear symbol).
  • Tap and hold the Setting option for 3 seconds at least.
  • Your phone will vibrate once you’re done. Now, you see a little wrench icon beside the Setting.
  • After that, go to your Phone’s Setting and then find System UI Tuner.

Now you will be able to change the theme of your phone and can make your phone battery show on your screen or change the battery symbol. Moreover, you can modify your clock to display hours, minutes, and seconds. To enable the DND feature, you can utilize a volume control or turn off the volume slider.

How to turn off the System UI Tuner?

When you open System UI Tuner, a warning appears on your display:

“System Tuner gives you extra ways to tweak and customize the Android user interface. These experimental features may change, break, or disappear in future releases. Proceed with caution.”

So to remove the System UI Tuner and any tweaks you have made, swipe down from the notification bar again to access the Quick Settings or gear icon and then hold the Settings gear icon again until your phone vibrates.

Now you will see a prompt asking if you want to “Remove System UI Tuner from Settings and stop using all of its features?” Select “Remove” to clear it out.
