Rolodex contacts - expanded number possible? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Has any thought been put into expanding the number of contacts with images that can be added?
I find that 15 is not quite as many as I'd like. Would adding more cause TF3D to slow down?

I cannot find an solution either!

increase "grouped" or move to bottom tray

I searched and search and i can't seem to find the answer.
I have att and i have ptt, so that icon is always at the top, i would love to move it to the bottom tray or something. Or increase the "grouped" icons at the top so that when i get an email it doesn't group them together. Its quite annoying.
Anyone have any options or hacks that can do it?
anyone? any options?
not possible on either. Both the PTT app and email app use the notification API to place the icon. You can't change the grouping, basically if there's more then one notification, it groups them. As for moving it down, that wouldn't be an option either.

Is There Something Better For Notifications? (Stock Stinks!!)

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

[Q] Put Folder of Contact Shortcuts on Launch Bar

Apart from the prefix "Can I", or even "how do I" if I can, it's all in the heading really.
On my phone I have a screen of contact shortcuts, usually two per contact - ring mobile, send SMS. Some get ring work as well. Having a small family and few friends, one screen is enough.
I would like to bundle all of the shortcuts into one folder on the launch bar, but it seems that apps are the only things I can put on the launch bar and then stack into folders.
Or am I missing something?
I have seen the "People" app, but that allows only one entry and default action per favourite person.
Any help appreciated.

[Q] Gmail notifications

On my other Android devices, when I have multiple new messages in my Gmail inbox, the notification (in the upper left corner) will show the subject lines from all of the new messages. On my GS4 Active, it appears that if there is only one new message, the subject line will show up, but if there is more than one, the notification will just read "2 new messages".
Is this something that is TouchWiz specific (or is the multiple subject line Cyanogenmod specifc)? Can the GS4 active behavior be changed to show all of the subject lines?
Thanks!
Mine is showing multiple subject lines, but it's possible that I've frozen some Samsung specific app that's affecting yours. First though, have you tried two-finger-swiping down from that notification to expand it? Perhaps you've somehow minimized it?
That's just the way it is. TouchWiz determines the amount of space available and adjusts the notifications accordingly. You may have luck using Nottach Xposed (root) to make the notification font smaller and hide the divider lines. This would free up some space, which would (perhaps) allow more notification lines to be shown, but would not solve the actual problem.

The two finger swipe did the trick. It doesn't seem like it persists between opening the notifications, but it gets me most of the way there. Thanks.
good to see this has been fixed

Multiple issues using the P10 - how to customize these? (LED, Notifications, Sounds)

Hello,
I'm trying to solve multiple issues with the P10, maybe some of you could help with the following?
- How can I disable the sounds when changing the volume up/down? Currently it beeps for each change, and did not find any settings to deactivate it.
- How can I disable the LED completely during charging?
- Can I customize the LED color depending on the notification source (eg whatsapp green, facebook blue, instagram red)?
- How can I show all pictures as a single non-grouped feed in the gallery app? Like "just display all my pictures sorted by date desc". It's often tedious having to remember if the picture I'm looking for was received by whatsapp (and thus having to go into the gallery whatsapp folder) or if I shot it myself.
- Can I "ungroup" notifications? Means, if ebay is sending 3 notifications, I just want to show up all those 3. By default, they are collapsed to one "group" notification. I'd like to disable this and just stack onto each other.
- Can the keyboard be changed to show a single key for Google Voice? Currently the comma key has to be long-pressed in order to bring the voice input on. This is often tricky as the comma key is the shortest of all...
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
