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!!!

Notification Manager - Screen settings ?

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

Download symbol weirdness...

Hello everyone.
I have not seen this issue discussed but hope that someone may have an answer.
Every now and then I will have the Fullscreen symbol (chevron) "stuck" in my taskbar/launcher when I'm offline. The odder thing is, is when I then go online and surf/download something the symbol is not there. So it's basically reversed. The only "fix" is to reboot.
Any ideas?
Cyanogenmod, nightly 221 at the moment (though I have tried several newer).
As a side note, this has also happened on my HP Touchpad w/ Cyanogenmod.

dl icon...
Its not a download icon. Its a soft button to hide the status bar

Sorry, but it's not. It normally displays when I open an IP camera, browser, etc.
For whatever reason it reverses itself at times.
Tapping it does nothing as it's not a button.
Edit:
Funny. I took a screen shot while it was on the screen, and it doesn't show up in the picture. All other icons/symbols show. LOL. Wth? I'll take a pic later and post it.

Edit: I re-read your post now. Picture attached with 7.1 download icon on the right, and what I assume is your icon you are talking about on the left. Is that correct?

No, that's not it. I get that one when downloading from the Market, etc. Thanks for the effort though.
Here is a pic of it. It's the far right lower (Chevron) one. Like two inverted arrows. Known as a "Chevron" as it looks like Chevrons (gasoline) logo.
It's got to be something to do with being online, browsing, etc.
Ahhh the mystery of it all.

It's no mystery. I thought that was it (I'm just using a different CM7 bar than you).
Go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose soft-buttons and tell me what you have selected.

Home, Menu, Back, Quick Notifications. That's it.

Only thing I can think of is the Fullscreen/Hide Status bar button. Comeone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm still sure that is what it is.
If you open an application that requests full screen (like Netflix or Angry Birds) and press it, does it hide the status bar?

I opened my IP camera app and pressed the icon, and yes, the status bar disappeared (how do I get it back?). But why is the icon showing when I'm not using any app? ie: like it is now.
So now when I open my IP camera app there's no status bar. I don't see a way to get it back. Probably something simple, but I can't find it.
~~
Confirmed that although "Home" is set to restore the Status Bar, it does not. Tried Volume Up, etc. to no avail. Something's buggy. Only a reboot restores things.
Also. Disable Full Screen is checked.

Yeah, looks like the hide bar to me too.
The field under;
Settings -> CM Settings -> Tablet Tweaks -> (Interface) Choose Unhide Button
Is supposed to allow you to pick a button to show the statusbar again.
--Edit--
Just saw your edit, yeah, I have mixed success with the unhide button too.

Not all applications request full screen if I'm right.
Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose unhide button
Most people choose the N button to unhide, then press it again to go to home.

Well I hope this helps someone else. I just found this old post:
"I had the same problem. Went into the ADW Settings menu and scrolled to the bottom and "Reset ADW".
I reset and all is back to normal, AND the home key now brings back the Status Bar as it should! Yay!
I wish I could edit the thread title to "Fullscreen" symbol weirdness, but I can't.
Thanks for the effort guys.

Sorry if my edits messed up the timeline.
There was a bug that I fixed by resetting ADW. Phew.
Thanks again.

How to disable - upcoming alarm notification ?!

Hi,
since kitkat (4.4.x) there is a notification for upcoming alarms 2 hours before the alarm time (a second alarm clock sign on the left top of screen)
I dont need this notification at all and its annoyin because this alarm sign looks almost like e.g. a whatsapp notification.
Is there a way to permanently disable this feature?
thx

nobody else annoyed or has an idea?

No way mate. I don't understand why there's not a xposed mod yet to remove that:laugh: Make your request here, maybe some dev is interested

Yes, I dislike it too. I searched everywhere for a way to disable it, but I never found a solution...

Hi,
Although many users found this new KitKat feature useful, I found it annoying: I don't need to have an Upcoming Alarm Notification to remind me that there's going to be a real alarm in the future. Fyi, I'm running CM11 20141124 Snapshot on a Galaxy S4. Here's the fix:
Next time you get one of these Notifications, go into Notifications and long press on the Upcoming Alarm entry (note that the long press might have been on "Dismiss now"). You will then get a prompt to disable notifications for this type of notification.
I'll appreciate if you will please reply with the exact long press location.
Also - If someone knows how/where this can be toggled back on, I would appreciate that info.
Regards . . .
BretAB
P.S. As noted elsewhere on the web, if you don't want to see the little alarm clock icon the you see on the right side of the Status Bar (recall that I'm running CM11 20141124), go into Clock, click on the hamburger that's on the lower right hand side, choose Settings, and disable Show Icon. This seems to override the "Show Notifications" that is enabled by default in Apps | All | Clock | "Show notifications" checkbox (or maybe that "Show notifications" checkbox at this location is for something else?) .

Hi and welcome to the board,
I'm a little confused with ur post. See my questions below the quotes of ur post here:

first of all, to understand ur post: is this a quote from somewhere else?
Second: disabling the notifications in the app settings works BUT it also disables the way to snooze or stop the alarm from lockscreen - so, not very helpfull/usefull?!
I'll appreciate if you will please reply with the exact long press location.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so thats actually the question of u?
answer: there are two ways to get there:
1)
unlock ur phone, (an alarm in the next 2 hours must be active) scroll down notification bar (wiping from top of phone to bottom) and long press on the alarm notification and choose "App-Details" in upcoming popup
2)
unlock ur phone, open the settings (the generall android settings), go to "apps", than the overview for "all apps", there should be "clock" or "deskclock" for me its "Uhr"
there u can disable amd enable it
so its also the answer to ur next question, i guess?! (see below)
Also - If someone knows how/where this can be toggled back on, I would appreciate that info.

It is 2017 now and the annoyance continues!

Notification problem

Hello, I installed the last Global ROM (11.3.3). I have a problem with notification: there's the same bug as all Xiaomi devices with notch: the notification doesn't appear near the clock.
Moreover, WhatsApp notification doesn't appear in the lockscreen (even if I selected to show the notifications in the app settings). This fact, anyway, does not show if I remove the lockscreen PIN.
There's a fix for these two problems?

I cant post screenshots as a new user..
Anyways, Settings/Display/Notch&Status Bar/ and hit the "enable icons" which is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! It restored the notification in the notification area. But I'd like also to know how to show the notifications in the lockscreen. The problem seems to be only with whatsapp, as Facebook's and Instagram's (for example) notifications are shown there.

I am trying but I can't find it right now.
What I can say is, I did have working notifications at some point but it allowed anyone to see the content of my Whatsapp messages and even reply to them without unlocking the phone so I turned them off somehow (was probably Special Settings/Quick replies)
Going to look further, the Notifications in Settings don't do anything. It could have something to do with me blocking the Internet on most Xiaomi apps but I sure hope that's not the case.
Edit: found something interesting in settings/apps/other settings. Selected messages and at thr bottom there is a setting to show notifications and guess what. it only has a single option related to the lock screen "don't show notifications at all" so it cannot be changed.
woah this miui is a mess
edit: I went ahead and debloated the phone from most of the Xiaomi apps. I have no access no notifications settings anymore but it didn't fix the problem
edit2: softlocked my phone and had to wipe everything. Notifications are back on stock lol

FIXED IT! woohoo!
After many, many hours of messing with my phone .. here's what you have to do:
Settings-Passwords & security - Privacy - Special app access - Battery optimisation
Here, click the blue bar and select "All apps"
Now scroll down until you find "Notifications" and open it.
Select "Don't optimise"
Holy mother of god NOW THAT'S A MAZE IF I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE!
sorry about the double post but wtf Miui
Edit: it breaks after the first notification. Then I reboot the phone and again it works for the first notification uhm yeah I give up. So I put it in Optimisation mode again, along with Always On and settings storage (had disabled them earlier) and now notifications pop on my lock screen but only new notifications!
Once I've unlocked the phone, the lock screen is empty until something new comes. However my Apple Music app now shows on lock screen as well with the typical controls for switching songs.

Thanks man!! I'll give a try! I've also discovered that notification were blocked, on lockscreen, for some contacts (the ones I wanted to be shown). I definitely agree with you that MIUI is a mess... My last phone was an OnePlus 6T, now I own a Mi 9T Pro. The hardware is amazing, but the software is a crap compared to the OxygenOS.
