Notification "Bubble" Question

First, I have searched these forums using both Google and its own search engine in an effort to answer my own question. I came across a good number of posts that raised the same question but did not have an offered solution. If I have missed the correct post, please link it.
The question is simply "how do I eliminate the "Notification" bubble that pops up and reminds me that I have unread e-mail AND the "Notification" tab at the bottom of the screen that has to be dismissed before my standard soft-key "Calendar" reappears?"
I have a program that tells me how many unread e-mails I have; I do not need another one. I want the phone to play a sound (if desired) on a incoming e-mail and then just give me the icon that shows the number of unread e-mails. I do not want to see the "Notification" bubble pop up at the bottom of my screen or the remaining/returning "Notification" soft-key on the bottom bar.
I have already gone into the Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications and turned everything off related to e-mail. I have even tried editing the registry, as suggested in another post such as:
______
"...... found this on another site. It may help you..
1. Install a registry editor like Resco File Explorer’s add-on registry editor or PHM registry editor.
2. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3. Tap control panel>notifications
4. Tap default
5. Tap options
6. Choose what value will be applicable to you and replace the default number with it (for XDA Atom, the number was 13, I replaced it with 8 to suit my preference):
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
7. If you want to configure how long the notification bubble will stay on the screen, tap on duration instead of options. Change the number there into the number of seconds you want the notification bubble to stay up."

The foregoing does not work for me - or I may be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

I have had the same problem no matter what ROM I use. Cannot figure out how to turn off email notification.

How about trying:
Settings
Personal
Sounds & Notifications
Notifications
Messaging: New E-mail Message
& uncheck Display Message on screen.

Thanks GSLEON3 for the suggestion....but as stated in paragragh 4 of my post, I have already tried that and I still get the nuisiance notification. I have also tried editing a few of the suggested registry values (with no luck obviously) and, according to my search of the forums, this is not the first time the question has been asked.
I am confident one of the brainy ROM modders has the answer.......maybe?

it can't be done, the only thing that you can get rid of is the message automatically popping up, which is what the settings change refered to in paragraph 4 does. You will always get the ntoification icon and on the left soft key. Someone would have to hack the resources that tie into tmail.exe (tmail.exe is the app that the mail client uses).

Thanks. Now I can quit worrying about trying to fix it. It is, however, a nuisance.

"Someone would have to hack the resources that tie into tmail.exe (tmail.exe is the app that the mail client uses)."
OK This is way over my pay grade, so who wants a PayPal donation?

I found a way, sort of
Had the same problem until I found this post
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
Disable SMS received notification
The following setting disable SMS notification and sms recieved icon on screen
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailable = 0
To enable again
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailable = 1
The upside is that it gets rid of the bubble, the downside is that is disables all native notification for SMS. I'm using PocketCM, so I still get visual notification, but no sound or vibration.

I have come accross that post as well...unfortunately, it only addresses the issue of how to disable the SMS notification (which other registry tweak apps do as well). I am more interested in disabling the e-mail notification bubble, that has to be "Viewed" or "Dismissed"...............
Thank you (anyway) for the input.

LED Stopped Working For SMS

I recently noticed that the LED light for missed SMS - which formerly blinked for the default five mins - no longer did so.
I've checked the 'Sounds and Notifications' option in 'All Settings' (I'm using Sense 2.5 stock ROM, WM 6.5) and found that the flash LED option for 'new message' was unchecked. I rechecked the box (and changed the duration - didn't know that could be done without a mod), along with 'display message on screen' and 'vibrate'. Now, although the other two options have taken effect the LED still doesn't blink.
I've recently installed a few mods/apps, one to create a registry entry to enable wake-up on new SMS, and Missed Call Reminder for repeating alerts for missed events. I thought they might be interfering with the LED but have removed them both no avail.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Changing default Messaging App

Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,

Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button

Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?

the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.

nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut

Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?

you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..

How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages

curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

[Q] Digits not displaying in Dialer

After I have made a phone call and brought up they keypad for in call option selection, any numbers I select do not display.
When it was new they did. What has changed and how do i fix this?

I found what is causing this issue:
if you have an app that needs to use accessibility options, (in my case "Notification Manager" used by SSLauncher The Original) like Talkback or others this issue appears, disabling all apps in accessibility removes this problem.
Hope it helps

Dialer App like HTC Sense?

Looking for a dialer app that has a widget that will behave like the HTC Sense dialer. I like to have a panel of 'recent calls' that will change dynamically based on incoming and outgoing call activity which will give me one-touch dialing, but drop down alternate phone numbers.
Thanks for in advance for your suggestions!
