Sorry, this might not be a lot of help as I'm currently not running this ROM, but there is a notification counter built into Red. The next time I flash it I'll look it up if no one's answered where it is. Just check out the options in System Settings and it's near the bottom of that section.

I really never looked for it. My email app has a neat little widget with a counter and phone and messaging already have a counter on the shortcut in the dock.

As stated use 4ext recovery. It is one of the things I miss from the device. Best recovery I have seen. I know apps that control things like this are nice but they seldom work without issues. Get into the habit of using the extended power menu to boot into recovery and go from there.

I've been using 4ext the last couple of days and it is definitely more advanced than anything I've used before. I like how you can see your battery %, which is useful in those times when you're wondering if you've got enough juice. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hey guys! Downloaded v2.0 and have a couple of questions. First, I can't get YouTube to work, any ideas? The ROM I was previously using Ascension 2.0 required a download and install via Recovery to get YouTube working, is something along those lines needed here?

Also, something I've previously used in both Ascension and earlier versions of Redemption was a "counter" that I could activate over Gmail, Messenger, and the Phone that would tell me how many call/emails/text messages were new. Is that not available in v2.0? I cannot find it.

Thanks for the help guys/girls, and keep up the great work, here's to hoping we get a Jelly Bean ROM before to long. :highfive:

I reflashed this ROM and the setting for the counter you're asking for is under Rom Control/General, and is the last option to be checked.

I have figured out how to get the counts back on my Gmail, Messaging, and Phone apps. It's a feature that's built into the paid version of Apex Launcher. I paid for it a long time ago, but had forgotten that I had to install it again upon flashing, therefore your initial comment did help, so thank-you!

The one part that hasn't helped is getting YouTube to work. I've uninstalled all updates, essentially rolling back a few releases, and even uninstalled the app completely, still won't work. If I try to "report" the problem via the app (when it states it can't load) I get a force close from the Google Play store error. I don't use YouTube that much, so it's not real important to get it up and running, however it would still be nice to have a complete ROM running all of my apps. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

As stated above I've figured out what I was doing wrong and have corrected it, although with a different method, but this is a great help for anyone having the same issue. Thanks for the reply!!

Can't say why your Inspire is different. The latest version of YouTube will not work on mine but every time I uninstall the updates, it works again. Just watched me some lolcats. :good:

Group messaging is possible in Android

When development gets back on track, I'm wondering if whoever might be helping joedeuce with developing might be able to cook this into The Family ROMs. There is a thread on another site where the conversation is stating that there are CM ROMs that have group messaging built in and it works flawlessly with all users involved, whether it's incoming or outgoing. Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-rooting-roms-hacks/207431-group-text-messaging-jb-achieved.html

I always try to walk on egg shells when posting requests because I don't want to seem like I'm ungratefull for whatever is put into ROMs. It's definitely appreciated with the hard work that you guys spend writing code, compiling, etc., but I figured if there are others who have figured this out (and Google doesn't care to put it into the main code) maybe we could just use the same code and implement it into future ROMs. If you guys group text, you know what a pain it is to do if you don't own an iPhone or use other 3rd party apps (the latter of which doesn't work properly anyway).

    Nothing new yet. Gonna try to get them all copied back to goo soon.

    Thanks Roy and Chris for letting folks know.

    There is little to no development on ics. Cm7 is still adding things here and there, but nothing major. Aokp has completely abandoned ics it would appear. If any advancements come that would benefit red, then they will be included. If nothing comes along, then you'll have to keep using the version you have. :) if you can't live without flashing something new, then you may have an addiction and need to seek counseling. :p

    Hey Everyone JoeDV has asked me to post this in all of The Collective Threads

    While things settle down and we take a short breather, i wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all their kind words. I would love to thank all of you individually, but that could take days. This is easily the toughest moment of my life, but reading your messages certainly helps to let me stop for a moment and realize how many lives my sweet baby girl had touched.

    Tomorrow we begin the viewings, with the funeral occurring on Monday. I'm not quite sure how I'll get through it, but know i have to.
    I thank you all once again from my entire family, and on behalf of Emily who i know would have the biggest smile if she saw all the post there were for her.
    Much love and respect to the DV family.
