Notification Manager - Screen settings ? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I have a problem that my phone pops up notifications - but they are blank.
The phone is a Kaiser/TyTnII ( Used to be Vodafone 1615 )
I am pretty sure that this phone has been flashed with one of the XDA ROMs as i have just done a hard reset and i still have touchFlo and a bunch of other non standard looking utilities on the phone.
The about box for TouchFlo says version 1.0 ( Build 1818.3719 ) which i am pretty sure having read all about the touchflo project for the Kaiser on the XDA developers is a version created here.
So now that i have given some background, back to the problem... pretty much everything on the phone seems to work ok. But the really annoying bug is this notification pop up.
eg. Set a calendar appointment for a few minutes in the future, set a reminder.
.... few minutes passes ... notification pops up
whole screen dims and at the bottom i get the soft buttons of "dismiss" and "menu"
No actual message is displayed on the screen.
Now i flip to landscape mode, and i can see the top left hand corner of a pop up message - the rest dissapears off the screen.
So, what have i done so far to help myself ?
1) searched these forums for somebody having the same problem/question X
2) tried some registry tweaks for specifying what message should pop up X
3) renaming the notification manager.dll X
4) looking at all the notification *.png screen images in the /windows/
folder and confirming that they are correctly set for the QVGA screen size. X
5) tried downloading the notification manager.cab for the rhodium - elsewhere on the XDA site. - would not install
6) hard reset the phone.
I dont actually want the touchflo as i prefer the spb mobile shell. What options do i have ?
Do i need to just apply the correct registry tweaks and all will be well ?
Do i download a new notification manager from somewhere that will fix this?
Do i have to re-flash the phone ? ( least attractive option to me )
Can i somehow uninstall the notification manager and go back to a windows
default version ?
thanks, you_were_lucky

Notification Manager - pop up window size ?
So some developments since my post yesterday, I tried some registry tweaks to change the font sizes.
I notice that if i tap the title bar ( next to the wifi icon) i get the notification manager screen up - this has all the correctly sized and formatted .png images and functions correctly.
It is the pop up that appears due to a calendar reminder or a wireless network found etc. that is all wrong
When i go into landscape i can see the edge of this and even click on the wireless network found radio buttons etc.
So i figure that maybe the pop up window sizes are all wrong due to some mad font size someplace. I went into the registry and tried changing font sizes down from 800 to 12 and this did indeed change the size of most fonts kicking arround the place. Unfortunately it did not influence the size of the pop up box.
Any ideas people ?
thanks YWL

Removing system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface?

hi all!
just got myself a diamond yesterday after spending 8 months with a n95 8gb... overall impressive phone but coming from a dopod d810, i find the system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface extremely annoying!
how do i remove them???
system status dialog -> where you can click on the volume, date, 3G icons on the top right hand side of the phone
also anybody knows how to remove the functionality where you press the vol up/down and it changes the system volume?
Hard Reset the daimond. When it boots up after configuration and when it says 3 seconds to customize , press reset.
PS : Opera also wont be installed. you can download opera cab seperately
If it's just the interface, why not uncheck it from Settings>Today ? Or does it come back? Not tried it yet myself

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
start->preferences->system->TouchFLo
unselect third checkbox..
Allright .. that´t the way to disable TouchFlo...
but how can we get rid of the system status dialog?
(another way than soft reset before HTC customizing runs...)
thx alot...
one more here that is really seeking to get rid of that awfull system status.....
thats the only thing so far i really hated on the diamond
Doesn't my solution (3 posts up from here) work to disable the system status dialog window?
It works for me (MDA Compact IV -Dutch)
yes it works real fine, the problem is everyone still wants the touchflow 3d
we just want to get rid of the system status on the upper corner
Guys..
instead of the full screen system status, do U think I can get the original Touch/Cruise system bubble instead? It's similar to the full screen, but the icons are slightly bigger and appears on top of the screen in a bubble.
Any ideas?
I also find the system status page an unnecessary step. Coming from an Imate K-jam, I preffered just pressing on the icon at the top (alarm bell / envelope / handset etc) to take me to the pop-up bubble at the bottom of the screen where I could either enter open the inbox / call register/calender etc or dismiss.
I read somewhere that the system status page is to bring up large icons for finger pressing. I don't understand the logic of this as the only way I bring up the system status page is by pressing on a small icon in the title bar!
I would like to be able to remove this system status screen step
Why does everone ignores the answer already given??
* To disable the Systemstatus screen, go to Settings>System>Touchflo
* untick the third checkbox wich states (translated from Dutch): "Show Systemstatuswindow when ticked on statusicons"

The idea is that you don't have to aim so precise, just press anywhere near the icons and then you can take your pick by pressing an easy target.
Anyway I do agree with you that it is an annoying extra step, it is a good thing it can be disabled (see previous post).
hi
any idea why my elf does not have 3 options but only 1 "enable sound when finger scrolling and panning"
Is there any workaround to turn off the touchflow?
maybe it's because I was flashed the rom to an "original orange" version?
thanks

Same here, but I found this registry key that helped me (i really hate the big system status menu!) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeTitleBar\Enable which must be 0 to disable it! You don't even need to reboot, works instant!
Ever since I updated the ROM, I really hate that big system status screen.
I thought I would have had to live with it, so I am very glad to found this thread.
Thanks guys!!!

Text Sent Notification

this thing is driving me crazy! I got the CDMA touch pro, everytime i send a text it always notifies me with that message, i know my mogul used to do that before and my friend downloaded the windows registry and then followed some procedure to take them off but no idea what that was (this was back in the summer)
I tried searching through here but found nothing.
please help!
I believe schap's advanced settings can disable delivery report, plus it gives you many other useful extended tweaks.
try to search it, and it's free
you can also go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Message sent notification
uncheck display on screen.
done! without advanced config!
This is what I used to disable the SMS Sent Notification.
[\HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default]
"Options" = dword:X
X being one of the values listed below (Default on Sprint was 13) Changes take effect immediately. I used 1, didn't mind the audible sound or the little icon showing at the top for a a brief second. If you use 0 you won't get any bubble notice or audible, just a 1-2 second icon in the taskbar that is gone as quickly as it appears.
0 - Icon
1 - Icon and Audio
2 - Icon and Vibrate (SSS)
3 - Icon, Audio and Vibrate (L)
4 - Same as 0
5 - Same as 1
6 - Same as 2
7 - Same as 3
8 - Icon and Bubble
9 - Icon, Bubble and Audio
10 - Icon, Bubble and Vibrate (LLS)
11 - Icon, Bubble, Audio and Vibrate (L)
12 - Bubble
13 - Bubble and Audio
14 - Bubble and Vibrate (SSL)
15 - Bubble, Audio and Vibrate (L)
The following do not reset the keyboard after sending message. What that means is that as you type and the software is doing the word complete, after sending, the word complete dialog still shows on the screen for the last word typed.
16 - Icon and No KB Reset
17 - Icon, Audio and No KB Reset
18 - Icon, Vibrate (SSS) and No KB Reset
19 - Icon, Audio, Vibrate (L) and No KB Reset
20 - Same as 16
I stopped trying values when I got to 20 since from 16 on they appeared to be the same as 0-15 but with the KB issue I mention above. Also, all the S's and L's represent quantity and length of the vibrations. I tried each setting about 10 times and 3 of the 10, the last vibe was opposite of what I show. In most cases though, it did as I show above.
After I found these, I did a search and found that a few others had found and posted the above as well. So I wasn't the first, but I did find it on my own.
That and what I covered in this thread should get you covered.
Also, you can check the following thread which has a different method for customizing the individual notifications for everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460368

it's not there, he is thinking text received, not text sent. Anyways download Diamond tweak or Advanced config, scroll down on either to messages, and then click text sent confirmation "disable" it's very simple.
Just search the forum for either file the cabs are floating all around the place. I would use advanced config instead of registry edits.
Here's the link and thread to the Advanced Config Tool Mentioned
http://www.touchxperience.com/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
My experience with Advanced Config is that it's not very CDMA friendly. It was originally written based on GSM phones and makes assumptions.
Not to steer the thread in the wrong direction but has that changed?
NosetnSMS CAB here!
Here you go, this solves the issue, just place it on your phone and install it
diamond tweak worked well for me
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=1 (its 0 by default) this will stop the message pop up box from popping up. should work right after you save but you may need a soft reset..
thanks! that advanced config didn't work (said i needed an updated microsoft net frame) but installed the 1kb nosms file and that worked like a charm, thanks!

Click on icons from top bar (connection, battery...) brings up fullscreen version

Sorry for the confusing title, but I don't have idea how to describe what I mean.
In the default rom, when I clicked on the top bar in tf3d where the icons with battery status, network status or appointment are, it brought up a fullscreen something (similar to volume screens) with big icons for battery status, network, appointment and so on. Than I tried a few versions of RomeOS, I don't know which versions had that working, but it doesn't work in current version. I think it's one of the cabs that can be downloaded for RomeOS, but I don't have idea which one is it.
Does anyone know?
Thank you.
There's a registry key that enables it i believe, not sure where though
Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> TouchFlo
Check box for showing system status.
Thanks, it would be great if someone knows which key it is.
JoeTheFro - thanks, when I was posting my post above, I didn't see yours. That worked, thanks again.
Ah my bad. I think I was referring to how you change from the classic volume control to the big HTC one. I remember now though

Remove HTC Notification Manager

I apologize if this has been covered already, but I've been searching for a few days now with no luck finding any help.
The HTC Notification Manager, is kind of a PITA, IMHO (apolgies, again, to those who <3 it). I've lost the ability to just tap and access volume control; if I accidentally bump the taskbar, Notification Manager hijacks my screen; and none of the features seem to work for me (I tap and tap and tap and tap/hold, but zilch - just stays on the Notification Manager screen... Grrr!)
But, I can't find any info on how to get rid of the blasted thing.
Would someone pretty please point the way?
I'm so frustrated I'm *this close* to just wiping the memory and reinstalling (which is such a royal hassle!)
My stress level thanks you (in advance).

Wonna get old features , but still be able to get the new notify ?
No problem - download TaskManagerEx , go to services , and disable "HTC Notification manager" , then soft reset
I did as you said guys and disabled the HTC notification Manager, but now another problem shows up, i cant open the battery from the taskbar, It doesnt do anything when i press on the battery icon, but the rest works fine, any solution?? and is there another version of htc notification manager other than the one i disabled that is better??
Hey Guys I just found a very cool Solution replacing the Notification Manager, go to this link "http://mbarvian.freehostia.com/2008/10/22/all-extracted-opaljade-applications-cab-and-oem-package-included/" and download This File "http://myunspace.com/?d=83C3DE071" and install, then soft reset then Its finished, the old system status again.... Please note, Disable the HTC notification Manager Before Installing it.

Flashing LED for Missed Call

Greetings All,
I've been reading and using tweaks from XDA for a while now, and after tinkering with Windows Phone I think I've finally found something i can contribute.
I've managed to get my HTC HD7 to give a Flashing Green LED for a missed call using old Windows Mobile 5 tricks.
By navigating to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\
Adding a string value called:
Script
And giving it the values:
av2pf300
To break this down it does the following:
a = Activate Phone
v2 = Vibrate for 2 seconds
p = Play Ringtone
f300 = Flashing LED for missed call for 5 minutes
These are the values that i've chosen for myself. It makes the phone vibrate for 2 seconds before the ringtone kicks in.
I haven't found a way to keep the phone vibrating while it is also ringing, but I find having the flashing LED more of a benefit to me as I'm constantly in and out of my office.
The script value is fully customizable, and more values can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-270040.html
I hope other people find this as useful as I have.
Estens.
have you attempted this with sms or email? neither of the two are supported with led notification by default but maybe a script can force that. Also, is there a way you can control the color of the led? thanks for your contribution!
SMS and email were handled differently by Windows Mobile 5 & 6.
You would go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default\Options and set the default value to one of the following:
* 0 – Show icon
* 1 – Show icon and play notification sound
* 2 – Show icon and vibration
* 3 – Show icon and vibration and play notification sound
* 4 – Same as 0
* 5 – Same as 1
* 6 – Same as 3
* 7 – Same as 3
* 8 – Show icon and notification bubble
* 9 – Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
* 10 – Show icon and notification bubble and vibration
* 11 – Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration
* 13 – Same as 1
This functionality appears to have changed in Windows Phone 7. I have tried both the above method and the Script method that i used for the Ringtone, but neither have worked.
As for changing the Colour of the LED, I wouldn't know where to begin. All I'm doing is telling the system that i want the LED to flash, not to flash green.
It may be possible, and i'll start to look into it now that someone has requested it - I assume that because the low-battery LED warning is Orange it is possible to change it, but that could be a hardware specific factor -- no idea.
Thanks for the reply. Any progress you can come up with would be great.
Doesn't it do this anyway - mine does except the flashing light is orange not green.
It would be a really good option to have it for SMS as well though
I can't see ...\RingTone0\... Please help me! Thanks!

First, are you using a HTC HD7? This is the only Windows Phone device I currently have access to so i am unsure if this will work with other devices (although the registry shouldn't change that much between devices.)
Second, are you sure your in the correct registry hive? i.e. you need to be in HKCU, not HKLM. There is a ControlPanel sub-key in both of these hives, so if your missing some keys i'd just ask you to confirm that your looking in the right place.
If the above does not work I'm not really sure how to progress... this key has been in Windows Mobile since 5.0 (as far as I know), and it's managed to find it's way into the Registry of my Windows Phone 7 HTD HD7 so I'm not sure why it's not there for you.
In regards to the SMS/Email flashing notification - I've tried a few methods of tinkering but still haven't been able.
Will keep you all posted.

Dear Estens,
I'm using HTC HD7 Nodo, but I haven't yet change the ringtones anymore. Is it the reason like this?
I upload the picture about this problem. Please check it and help me. Thanks!
I can see your problem straight away. Your trying to modify the registry on your desktop.
This modification is for the device, (i.e. your mobile phone).
Making changes to the registry on your desktop PC will only affect things on your desktop PC, and changing the registry on your device will only affect your device.
The HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\ registry is on your device so you'll have to dev-unlock your device, install a registry editor and modify it that way.

Cool... more neat sh** to play with... thanks man!... ... knew that touchXplorer was going to come in handy pretty quick!!...
Quick note on Mango Beta 2.
It appears that if you have this trick in place before you begin the Mango Update it will persist after the update is complete. So be sure to apply this before you update to the Mango beta if you want your flashing LED for a missed call.
