Old Notification Manager,for gods sake..Please..

I have searched the whole xda forum but couldn't find a solution to remove the crappy new notification manager on my TD2. This is so useless,why a Notification Manager will pop up when I click the Battery or volume or network icon,it should show the details of every icon separately.I just want the OLD notification manager and I am sure I am not the only person who wish to have the Old one. So guys please tell me some positives,will look forward to your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

ya, i need it too

Yes, that was the first thing that struck me too!
I went and disabled that crappy notification manager completely. I now get the WM 6.1 bubbles.
.

Actually.. my issue with the new notification manager is the speed.
I want instant access to these.. not requiring me to wait abt 1-2secs.
the diamond1 screen was simple and basically had enlarged icons only.. but that was instant. Does anyone know if we can use the D1 notification manager on our D2?

How did you do that?

I already wrote about it on my blog (in german) at
http://mytd2.blogspot.com/2009/06/unnutzer-benachrichtigungsmanager.html
about it, google translates it to:

Not a very good translation lol - might post things here shortly, but you should get what it's about.

Hm,but didn't understand the last two .cabs. There are two cabs,why are they there? If I install the 'NoNotification' cab will it work? or it's a must to install TaskManager 3.1 and Registry Editor?

CABs that only have registry tweaks in them don't appear as "programs" so they can't get uninstalled that way. That's why I put 2 CABs, one to make the change, one to revert it.
NoNotification.CAB will deactivate the notification manager (soft reset required)
Notifcation.CAB will activate it again, in case you don't like the changes it brings
No need to install FDCSoft's TaskManager or a Registry Editor, those are both alternative ways to the CAB installation.

Thanks a lot,that cab did work great.

Hi,
I agree that the Topaz Notification Manager is quite useless..but did anyone try the Enhanced Notification Manager?It's functional, without going back to old notification systems. Because finger tapping the icon you want has become very difficult (e.g I have a modded task bar with tiny icons), you still get the entire list of ongoing notifications, but each of them is clickable and redirects to the relative settings.I'm happy with it .

You can find Topaz Tweak Software here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502102 , with it is possible turn off and on Enhanced Notification.

Does Enhanced Notification Manager works with MS Shell 3.0?
Cos I disable the TF3D and runing MS shell 3.0

How did you get the small task bar icons? Would it work, or do you know how, to change the keyboard (SIP) button size - the button has a large tap area which prevents me from tapping the toolbar buttons in some programs - it seems to overlap the other buttons so when I tap them only the keyboard pops up!!

good info here!

Thanks TinTin - excellent tweak. It worked for me. I used MemMaid instead for Option 1.

Application shortcuts on today screen

Is there a simple way of creating application shortcuts to appear on your today screen without having to click on the windows start menu to find it?
I have searched the forum & found many similar questions but they all seem so complicated.
All I need to do is create a shortcut for an application that normally fires up when the phone is switched on but I need the ability to have quick access to the shortcut incase the app is ever accidently closed down.
This app should always be on as well as the data connection to which i also need a shortcut for.
So the COMM MANAGER icon as a shortcut for quick access would be needed to enable a quicker start to Data connection if offline for some reason
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Yes. Go to Start/Settings/Today/Items tab where you can select what you want. At least I can do it on Touch 3G (Jade).

Yes thanks but that's not what I mean, I have already tried but found that you have limited choice to what you can add. I need to add other items that are not included in th items tab.

Try this...
It's a simple shortcut creator for the today screen - sounds like just what you're after.
I use this and have had no problems with it.

Thanks for that, it does look like exactly what i need but for some reason it does not work on my O2 XDA Mantle and the Samsung Omnia, both using Windows mobile 6.1
I get the same problem on both phones where after instalation the app does not appear in start menu or in programme files.
I have selected "Easy today Launcher" in the items tab of the today screen but nothing appears to allow you to use the software

I'm on WM6.1 on a Sony Xperia and its fine.
Did you add any icons to it?
It doesn't appear in programme files or programmes - just in Today settings.
Go to Settings->Today->Items.
Make sure the box is ticked next to 'Easy Today Launcher'.
Select 'Easy Today Launcher' so thats its highlighted gry, then click options. Use add to add a new application to the bar, remove to remove ones you don't want, and up and down to chane the order. You can also select whether you want large or small items in the options screen.

Doh!!
That's it thanks
It now works
I found another app called SBSH iLauncher but it's not free
it allows shorcuts to documents which is something else I need, it doesn't look line Easy today Launcher can do this as it only creates shortcuts to applications.
thanks for your time.

I'd be very interested in such a hack as well!
Currently, when you are creating new slider icons, you pretty much have to design around the date which is superimposed over the 'Calendar' icon...
Being able to edit where it is placed, or in the worst case, switch it off, would be a lot easier!

[REQ] show time on top bar

that will be very useful.
if the time is shown whenever the top bar is shown

(if this does not work, do a search on "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt"

battclock app

the reg hack works, but he said no battery.
dont know why its not there by default.
as for batlock I dont want both to be squeezed in the same icon location!

Yeah I wouldn't mind seperate locations - but I guess battlock is the only way to go

I managed to get it separated using battlock thingy
its easy, however I use the 12 icon menu that pops up when long press end key.
that leave a while box where battlock is, however clicking on notification bar fixes the issue

Hi use a program to change the taskbar icons and layout, like Wisbar advance.

Quickmenu, a real powerful and higly customizable (though minimalistic) programlauncher/taskmanager, has an option to display battery info (icon or just percentage) on the taskbar. If you like quickmenu as an additional tool, I say you have your solution....

thanks for the info people so many solution I am sure someone else will find it usefull too

Edit Favorite Apps missing apps

Anyone else figure out how to add apps that are missing from the choices of apps to use when you edit the favorite apps for the edge?
I cannot find Calendar app which I use often.

It's there on mine...well sort of. Here are the steps on how I got to mine and other "missing" apps.
1. Go to the edge setup screen and choose Manage Panels then click the "pencil" in the favorites panel
2. look on your favorites edge for a folder with multiple apps. You may have to scroll vertically on the edge to get to it. Then click on it.
3. Select "Open Folder" and your calendar should be there. you can click the "minus" sign on any of the apps in teh folder and it will place them back into the main Favorites page. From there you can drag and drop the calendar icon into your favorites panel.
There's also an S-Panel Edge you can download from your manage Edge panels screen that will allow you to see your tasks and get to your calendar.

ricerx that was it! Because it was in a folder it would not let me put into the side. You are the man! Thank you.

How do you edit the second fav panel? There is no edit pencil icon on that. This is an AT&T version. The first panel I can edit but second I have no clue how I do that.

I have exactly the same issue with the T-Mobile version.

I have the exact same problem, but with the T-Mobile version SM-N915T. The favorites star at the top of the second favorites panel which, when pressed, pulls up the favorites list and allows one to alter the app list, is not selectable. Works fine on the first favorites panel, but not the second. Curiously, the second favorites panel's star is not solid (only outlined) whereas the first panel's is solid (filled). Anybody have a fix?

Every model of this phone comes with a carrier specific panel next to the favorites panel that is locked to either carrier-branded or carrier-promoted apps. This can't be changed. I'm sure someone will figure out a mod though.

There is a calendar edge screen app you can download from Samsung. That will give you quick access and a quick glance at your days events.

some games not showing
I'm still having this problem, I have a few game apps that aren not in folders and aren't showing or selection in the favorite applications selection screen
