Answer 1

For fixing the overlapping issue just try this link Status bar and navigation bar issue in IOS7
and for using status bar style similar to ios 6 this link may help you Change StatusBar style
In your app delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching method:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
Set UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent/UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque for getting status bar similar to iOS6.

I am late for this Answer, but i just want to share what i did, which is basically
the easiest solution
First of all-> Go to your info.plist File and add Status Bar Style->Transparent Black Style(Alpha of 0.5)
Now ,here it Goes:-
Add this code in your AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//Whatever your code goes here
if(kDeviceiPad){
//adding status bar for IOS7 ipad
if (IS_IOS7) {
UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init];
addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 20);
addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1]; //change this to match your navigation bar
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar];
}
}
else{
//adding status bar for IOS7 iphone
if (IS_IOS7) {
UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init];
addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 20);
addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1]; //You can give your own color pattern
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar];
}
return YES;
}
