Make sure in the stock app and in settings, notifications and sound that stock notifications are off

thanks guys, no bueno. It's very strange, I went and changed the sounds in the stock notifications, and turned them off again, and it still gives me the stock notification, with the stock notification sound. It's like it's coming from some where else but where? This just started about a week ago, I don't understand because I've been using handcent forever

Did you install anything from the market that can control notifications?

just figured it out, part of a beautiful widgets update pack had a sms widget, didn't even realize it. I actually wiped everything, used titanium back up, and added apps one by one texting myself in between each add to find it! I did that 18 times before I got to it. Oh well, it's funny now, but it really pissed me off!

hey i'm having the same problem that you were having and i wondering if you remember which beautiful widget you needed to delete that was causing the double notifications. Because this is driving me insane.

Hey I've found out exactly what widget it is,so no need to answer. For anyone that might have this issue. When you download beautiful widgets they came come with a sms widget also. You have to long press on your screen, select widgets, then scroll down to the beautiful widgets there should be a beautiful widget sms. Select that and then the option should come up which has the notification options you need to turn off.

Halp! App Drawer Gone from Dock on CM6 RC2!

I accidentally replace the App Drawer shortcut on my middle dock icon with my cam, how do I get the App Drawer shortcut back? I tried resetting AWD but its still there!

. anyone? .

i did the same. seems to be a new 'feature' of ADW located at Menu -> Settings -> ADW -> UI Settings -> Main Dock Style
i was able to get the desired center icon back by toggling to a 3 button bar then back to a 5 button bar. you could also try restoring a prior adw backup.

the issue is I'm already using 5 button layout so when i change to 3 and then back to 5 it does not give me any empty slots because there all use up. I do not want to do a nandroid backup for something as silly as this.. theres gotta be a easier way.
Isn't there a App Drawer shortcut Icon I can put on homescreen and then drag to middle dock icon?

Long press on your home screen, custom shortcut, pick your activity, launcher actions, open close app drawer, okay.
Drop it where ever you want.

I bet you did it while trying to trash a shortcut , instinctively the drag goes to the old location of the trash can. Happened to me twice and was able to correct it like neckface described it.

Thank you very much kudos for you.

OMG thanks dude, was showing a friend my phone and trying to get him to go with android, and accidently did that, and tried all ADW settings and still couldn't fix it...
thanks again man, I thought I was gonna have to do all those back-ups and stuff.

Get rid of the app icons on the notification bar on Virtous?

Hey yall, I just got my G2 and I've already modded it out the wazoo, the only question I have at the moment is how do I get rid of the currently running apps on the top of the notification bar in Virtuous? It's really bugging me.

Not much of a sense fan here, but I'm assuming you have to turn off notifications for each app inside the app settings...

Not the notifications...this rom has a kind of task killer built into the notifications window

I've seen this same question asked several times, but have yet to see an answer posted. So I will go out on a ledge and say you can't.

Im running Virtuous 0.8.1 and dont have any apps in my notification bar, are you sure its not an app you installed apart from the Virtuous rom, there is no built in task killer that ive found apart from the andriod "Manage applications" or the "Running services" in the menu/settings/applications drawer, but both of these do not put anything in the notification bar.

He's talking about the row of recently used apps in the pull-down notification bar. This is a 'feature' of the new version of Sense - the only way to get rid of it would be for the ROM devs to remove it.
I'm sure you could tinker with something like the framework or something to disable it, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it. There's no easy way to do it, basically.

Oh, yeah, I have those too, dont really seem to bother me though, not a task killer just a link to recently used apps like you said.

Ugh....It's really bothering me...enough to possibly go back to CM6

Like I said in my previous post, about there are others with the same issue (doesn't bother me), but if enough of you contact HTC about this, they could possibly add an option to show or not in later releases.

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM

Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol

Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!

Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.

Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.

Google Now Notifications

I'm using Ericwill's unofficial CM10 rom and I have no notification icons in the status bar... However, when I pull down the notification drawer the card (weather, time to work) is in fact in there... Is there any way to get back the car icon or the cloud icon?

just a thought but have you check to make sure google now is actually on when you click search button and Google comes up hit menu/ settings and make sure its clicked on

It is on, I've been using it... I get the notifications in the drawer like I mentioned... If I pull it down I see the weather but it never shows the little cloud icon in the statusbar

damn that sucks must be a glitch or bug not reading Google now properly try clearing the cache in applications for google now/google search if not try posting in the ROM thread for better answers to your question sorry couldnt help bro EDIT: is it a themed version of G-Now or stock G-now from CM

Just curious, do you get the icons for cards in your status bar?

yes i see all the cards and lil cloud on mine ...but im not running what are you bro thats why i say might just be a bug or something with your rom we all have different set ups with can differ on all parts

Its a known issue for quite a few people. Actually I dont know anyone who runs cm10 that actually has it working properly. I just stop being bothered with it a while ago and moved on... Hopefully someone figures out exactly whats wrong
