General: Notifier+

[m3coolpix]

I use the Aqwoah winterboad theme.

If I use the mini icons, then NP+ uses the default Apple (or stock) icons (but small) for lock screen notifications.

If I use the large icons, then NP+ uses the regular winterboard icons for those apps on the lock screen.

I've set it up to watch 8 different apps for notifications. Works well.

do you mean you just added messenger apps for it to watch?
or did you set up N+ to watch other apps for notifications, like Weather Apps that will push notifications?

if you got it to watch other apps, like LockInfo does id be interested in hearing how...

does this app use alot of memory? any noticeable slow downs of any kind? this app looks amazing

I set it up to alert on the standard apps, Mail, SMS, and VoiceMail/Missed Calls.

But, I've also got it watching (and working) to alert on....Paypal, Pocket Informant, TextNow, Words with Friends, Weather Alert USA. Each of those were setup as MMS under the 'Settings', then 'Manage IM Support'. All you do is add the bundle identifier of the app you wish to watch, and it starts working. You can find the bundle identifier in the info.plist that is used by each app.

Attached is a screen shot.

Nice work M3! Thank you.

I'm figuring SSH into the phone to add the bundle identifier, where inside of N+ do I add it?


@Genetic, I use N+ w lockinfo, under my anecdotal research I found it uses about 40 Meg of system memory on my iPhone 4. YMMV...

I've been using Notifier since it's release a couple years ago (gave it up reluctantly to move to iOS 4, but now it's working great again after being updated). Relies on mobilesubstrate, so there is little memory hit (somewhat noticeable when I was using it on the 3g or 3gs, but not on the iP4).

To set this up I only used iFile and Notifier+. iFile to browse to the app folder that I wanted to alert on, then open the info.plist file in that app folder to find the bundle identifier. Then the above procedure to set it up inside of Notifier+. I don't have the status bar update on the extra apps I watch (added under the Manage IM Support), as I couldn't tell which one is putting the alert up there. No big deal.

I added TextNow as an SMS app, as I hardly use the built in SMS app. Notifier+ will show that icon on the status bar, so I know one of the two set it.

Hope that helps.

I'm only relying on what SBSettings app is telling me with what memory I have free. It always hovers around 350 mb after a hard reboot (not respring), both before and after I installed Notifier+, so my answer above may be in the dark a bit if there is a better way to monitor memory (I don't 'much').

I don't use LockInfo (FWIW).

[gnychis]

hmmm this doesn't look that great on the lock screen

[Jupex]

I wish I could move then icons position from top to bottom. Thatway I could use lockinfo HTC clock / weather. otherwise looking great.

I just purchased Notifier+ for my Verizon iPhone. Everything seems to work except for repeating vibrating alerts (while in vibrate mode). Does this work for everyone else?

[Staindsoul]

I have notifier installed on my iPhone4 but cant get any icons to show up in the status bar. I am running 4.2.1 Anyone know a fix to this?

[user843]

I purchased Notifier+ yesterday. The status and lockscreen icons all seem to work fine but the alert repeating is sporadic. I am assuming "Repeat Mode" means how many times to repeat the alert and that "Time Interval" refers to the amount of minutes to wait between alerts. Am I correct?

that is correct set repeat mode how many times you want it to notify you (i set infinite) and time interval of how many minutes you want it to remind you audibly.

Notifier+ seems to be working fine however repeat notification do not vibrate, they only repeat the sound. Is this by design? I sometimes have my ringer off and would still like to be able to get repeat vibrate notifications.

[jermy4]

Does anyone have the repeating alerts working in 4.2.1? I'm trying to setup repeat alerts for boxcar using notifier+ but when I type in the bundle identifier for boxcar it says it didn't find the app. If I say add anyways it doesn't work.

This is what I put in for the bundle ID: net.jdg.Boxcar (this was in the info.plist for boxcar)

my bitesms small icon is smaller than the call icon, anyone know how can i fix it?

I followed your steps and placed the bundle identifier into the notifier+ but it keeps on saying "could not validate this name to any applications installed. What would you like to do? Dismiss or Just add it" and I tried clicking "just add it" but then i never received the notifications.

Might need to respring or reboot.....

That seems to be a needed step for me to make the notifications work.

I've got a couple non standard apps using the notifications, TextFree, Paypal, and Billminder are just a few.

If you still have issues, reply back, it may be a particular setting inside the app issue.

[applefanatics]

Thanks for your help m3coolpix! Everything is working now, only problem is I can't seem to figure out how to get the notifications to use the "flash" option. I got it to work once, but now it doesn't flash anymore....

And how did you get your icons to look so nice on the lockscren?

Just bought it a few days ago. I was looking for a repeating alert for pending events (mainly, calls not answered and SMSs not read) for ages and couldn't find any. The simplest, chippest Nokia had it from day 1 probably. Anyways, I HIGHLY recommend it. Thanks to the developer!

Analog clock, weather symbol, ...
