BJ II- How to bring back Message icon?

Hi, I am on Samsung Blackjack 2, AT&T, and recently I updated into 6.1, everything is well and fine.
With the new sliding panel layout, I do not see the message icon that used to come on the topmost row when a new message or email is received. You know, just to the left of battery, reception signal and 3G indicators.. Its not coming on anymore. Only thing I see is in the notification panel, where it is easily missed.
Is there any way, registry hack or otherwise to re enable the message symbol on the top row?
PS: I am not using rinku iconbar, just the default view
Much thanks

switch your home screen
switch your home screen to sliding panel media and you might want to grab a copy of chome configurator available in the excalibur forum

Alerts vs. menu bar

I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?

Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.

[Q] [VZW] Power widget in notification area, Weird icon near clock.

Hey all,
I've got a Verizon SGS3 and I had a couple questions.
1. The notification power widget. It's got so much stuff and it takes up a lot of room on the notification shade. Is there a way to eliminate it or remove some of the useless ones? I never use bluetooth.
2. There's also a weird icon next to my 4G icon near the clock. Anyone know what it is? http://i.imgur.com/Cat4R.png And if I can get rid of it?
Also, bonus question: A way to remove all the useless ****ing share options for pictures/other files? I will never use S-Memo, Color, Group Cast, Messaging, Backup-assistant plus to share any of this ****. Go away.

Me too!
I have disabled everything I can think of and this icon will not go away!

I believe that's the "Wi-Fi Notification" icon that is persistent in Verizon SGS3 phones.
The only way currently known to disable it is to root the phone and modify a database value use a SQLite Editor.

Giving my phone to my daughter, need some help

I went ahead and went back to stock 4.1.2, rooted and trwp just in case. In any case coming from CM10, which allows me to adjust anything, this rom sucks. My main problem is the top down slide down menu with all the icons to turn on wifi, bluetooth, etc. I want to get rid of some of those and just have wifi, airplane, gps, and screen rotation, I don't need the rest but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of them or adjust that bar. Any help would be appreciated. The second thing is the notification area get's filled up too quickly, especially when mails come in. I just want sms/mms notifications there and no mail notifications , an indicator of new mail on the top bar is sufficient. Thanks a bunch...

Since you're rooted, you can get Xposed Framework to get most/all your customizations, including your toggles.
You should be able to stop individual apps from posting notifications in the app info settings. I think that came around in 4.1, hopefully Samsung/AT&T/Rogers didn't disable that for whatever reason. If I understand you correctly, though, you don't want any email notification in the shade but you still want something in the bar? Not sure how to go about that, but you can always get a launcher with an unread count that shows up on the email icon.
