Other notification options...?

Hello,
My cousin has upgraded from a feature phone to a droid 3, but she hates the way her notifications appear. What app or apps could she use to give her more options. Any recommendations?

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I know that some of you have a lot of experience, so please drop a line or two and give me a tip. Please and thank you.

You can't really change the way notifications come in...

SMS Popup by Adam K is one of my favorites
Or a combination on Go Launcher EX and GO Notifications is cool Somewhat iphoneish
Pretty much all i know of at the moment.

Thank you, I'll pass those links along to her. Again, thank you for your time .

Android arguably has the best notification system available. Why she'd want to downgrade to archaic iOS style notifications is beyond me.

Nah, to tell the truth webOS does.

What works for you and me may not work for her and vice versa.
And that's okay.

[TUTORIAL] Simple fix to remove stock scrolling lag Nexus 7

I just found a really great simple way to remove 90% scrolling lag on JB 4.x.x ROM's. All you have to do is:
- Open Google Currents
- Go to Settings
- Disable background sync
- Et voila, pretty much complete lag free scrolling!
I noticed a HUGE difference and made my device nice and snappy again...
Hope that helps. If it does, hit the thanks button

Another thing that removes lag and makes everything run smoother:

Fill it, release it, reboot it, omg!
If you read the first review for the app it will explain how and why it works.

Just ran that program and have to admit it does seem a little smoother, and not placebo... Thanks for recommending it

If I had a nickle every time someone posted to disable Currents, I'd have at least $3.45.

Sorry, but as noted, there are probably dozens of other threads on this. Lets try to keep the discussion in one place..

Has someone been able to activate multitasking on a rooted kindle fire hd?

I have been searching for about three days and all I could find was people saying that a new one cant. Without having to use a custom rom is it able to add multitasking that amazon removed back on a rooted kindle fire HD?

It depends on what you mean by "multitasking". If you are talking about the ability to switch between apps without losing everything...it already does that. Any time you move away from an app, it goes into suspend mode and is stored in cache. In suspend mode, the app is no longer running code, therefore there is no processing being done on it until it is called back again. It's not really "multitasking" in the truest sense but that's how ICS does it.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the "history" button, that brings up a list with screenshots of your recent apps in their suspended state...the 2G KFs do not have that feature.

The first one can be accessed from the status bar. The second one can be configured to work with Button Savior or LMT.

this is what i have been using has a limit of 5 recent apps

HomeFlip is quite nice.

Use the kindleology Rom you just hold the home button down with it and it opens up recent apps

Maps wake locks are back=(

Does anyone know what I can turn off on maps location settings so that Google Now will still tell me where I am and bring up the same cards (i.e. The weather in the address I'm in, how long it will take to get back home, places to check in, etc.)?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I am guessing you can use Greenify and hibernate Maps so that it will only work on command.

Greenify all the way.

Pretty much, yes. Also if you turn off everything under Location, you will not have to worry about that much anymore. There are ways to completely freeze or remove Google Now from your device, just use Google and you'll find many articles regarding this.

I don't want to remove Google Now. That's the whole point. I wanna lessen the Maps wake locks but still get the same Google Now functionality.

Yeah, I misunderstood at the time and I wanted to edit my post but I forgot. As I mentioned, use Greenify and Google Now should work properly.

Is "Hide navigation bar per app" still there?
Hi, I've just bought the LG GFlex today. My D955 comes with JB 4.2.2.
I do really love the feature that let me hide the navigation bar per app, I find it extremely useful.
I'm really curious to know whether this setting is still available into the new KitKat update.
Reading that the LG G Pro 2 having already KitKat doesn't have it, although it has a software nav bar, I'm wondering whether this feature is incompatible with KitKat due to its full screen API.
Those of you who already updated their GFlex can please answer this question?
Thanks

I am also interested in this question.
Some have the 4.4.2, could give us the answer.
Thank you.

I'm curious as to if google wallet tap and pay finally works. I may be completely mistaken, but on KitKat, I don't believe you need the secure element like you did on older android versions. Not having tap and pay is one of my few complaints about this phone.

I just updated my F340K to 4.4 and now I get a google error in each boot, "com.google.services.gapps has halted". I tested several solutions like clear cache, clear google data, also removed my google account from mobile phone and still appears.
anybody with same problem?.
Regards.

I'm replying to myself, the problem comes from swiftkey app (swipe keyboard), after unistall it the error message gone. Maybe a compatibilty issue with KitKat.
I left the solution here for further reference.

Crap. I miss that coming from my old Galaxy Nexus. I figured as soon as I got on a carrier phone, it would be blocked because they have that worthless pile of garbage Isis as their own.

Hi again guys, after update to 4.4 I'm having very heavy battery problems. I lost around 20% of autonomy, I already check startup software without results, anyone in same situation?.

kitkat update, looking good
Got my kitkat update yesterday (I'm in the UK with an f340 model). Things I've noticed so far:
Text does look sharper (different font?).
Home screen now available in portrait.
Better way of handling apps in full screen (before there was a small arrow at the bottom of the screen to show the soft keys if you'd chosen to hide them for selected apps. Now you swipe up to show the soft keys - definite improvement).
You can hide the volume and/or brightness sliders in the notification pull down.
You can now say OK Google when you launch Google by swiping up the home key.
Signal strength, and other information in the status bar at the top are now white/light grey (I've already forgotten if they were green before!)
Love this phone!
