StatusHud Cydia Tweak Integrates Volume HUD Into iPhone Status Bar

In the past we have seen some interesting Cydia tweaks that change the appearance of the Volume HUD that pops up when we change the volume of our Apple device using the physical buttons. Some of the best examples are HUDChanger and HUD. While the former replaces the regular volume HUD with volume percentage indicator, the latter adds album artwork to the volume HUD.

Obviously if a new tweak comes to the Cydia database, it needs to stand out and offer something interesting. And this is what StatusHUD does. StatusHUD is a new tweak available on Cydia that integrates your idevice’s volume HUD into the statusbar. Top that up with round volume steps (compared to the square steps available with the regular HUD) and it becomes visually even more appealing.

How To Use StatusHUD Cydia Tweak

Go to Cydia store and purchase StatusHUD which is available for an affordable $0.99. After installing and respringing your device, go to the stock settings app, find StatusHUD, and enable it. From the same screen you can also select the volume step style as Square or Circle. In my case I chose Circle as it looks much cooler.

Now just use the physical volume keys and you will see small circles being displayed in the status bar. As the volume HUD is now integrated into the status bar, there will be no obstructions on the screen when changing the volume, as there were with the regular HUD.

The image below is another example of how well the volume HUD merges with the status bar and looks seriously cool.



Coming to the conclusion now, the app does its work brilliantly and there is no doubt on its functionality. It looks good and does not slow down the device at all. However, the only issue I have is the price as there are many better tweaks available on Cydia for free and this could have been a free addition.
