>>2085521The method of customization depends on your OS, an app is just a program you use. I hate Apple for confusing people as to what the word "application" means lol. But like I said, both S3 and LG Optimus G are running android, so they are equally customizable. You could also flash a custom ROM and get more options, but for aesthetic reasons that's not at all necessary.
I hide my powerlevel in certain situations, but usually I don't care.
