New "Notification Manager" from HTC : do you like it ?

lpaso · Mar 13, 2009

Hi,

I tried the lastest ROMs for our Blackstone, and it seems that every chefs loves the new Notification Manager...

I found a way to deactivate it (I just hate this new layer), but it's a bit ugly : in the registry, go to HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER and change the "Dll" value to "NotificationManager.dll.bak", then soft-reset.

Do you know another way to deactivate this thing ?

And what do you think about this new notif. manager ?

For those who don't know what is Notification Manager, here it is :

I don't mind it. What annoys me is the amount of clicks you have to make

For example if I get a notification for an appointment I get a Alarm noticiation on the top bar. Once I click on this I get the new noticication Manager which tells me about the appointment. To dismiss this I need to click dismiss, where I am then shown another screen asking whether or not you are sure you want to dismiss this.

Tio many clicks!!

It should be straight forward:

A notification screen telling you about meeting/appointment etc with options below to either dismiss or delete.

Nothing else needed and no screen asking whether or not you are sure!

I like it but I've got to disable it because, for me, it's very important that I can select each time the "snooze-time" (and not have it by default at 5.00 min).
You can disable it:
HKLM\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\UseDefaultUI and set it on "0"

Hum, I think you're mistaking what I meant by "Notification Manager".
The notification manager is the screen that appears when you tap on the icons on the right of the start button (battery, Signal bars etc).

Edit : I uploaded a pic of the new notification manager and the old one.

one of the many reasons i flashed back to old manilla is this ugly screen.. i like to be able to chose comm manager right away after i press one of the topbar buttons but with this new screen it's a hassle.. though old manilla had it's own notification screen but i can disable it from touchflow settings unlike this new one

looks kinda intriguing to my eyes

Shake and save is a soft to take screenshots when you shake your phone

btw, now, you can flash a new rom using manilla 2 and disable this notif. manager.

this is one issue down among many others to overcome

i try new roms on weekly bases but still i find em too buggy to my taste

For those who don't know what is Notification Manager, here it is :

You have to install FdcSoft's Task Manager (you will find it in the forum) then go to Services and stop "Notification Manager" service and set it to manual. When you exit the task manager, the phone will be slow in response, so just soft reset it.
The best thing about the new notification manager in my opinion is that it can be stopped

. Actualy this is the first thing I do when I flash a new ROM with the new manilla. Why would anyone want to loose the functionality of the taskbar icons by installing the notification manager, we may never know...

Yeah!!!You're right... I made a mistake... but my answer is the same!!!
Yes i like it, but, I don't like that tapping on the top bar there is no possibility to, ad example, go to the network tab... like you can do without the NM.

Well if you guys want the best of two worlds, new notification system with various snooze times, just install Dutty's HD 1.9 rom. Ironically this was the only reason to release 1.9b

lol! same here...staying with ver 1.9 because of the "omission" of dutty..

At least, you'll can now flash the rom you want and disable the notification manager

Its not so much the notification manager I mind but the omission of the basic snooze options. How in the hell can I get them back?

Actually you need to set it to "1"

+1, yeah, thanks a lot ipaso, I so hate the new notification, I thought there will be a old notification cab for us to overwrite the new one.

But at least your interim solution really work for me/us.

Cheers.
