Ok I am trying to find a way to turn off the Mail Icon and SMS icon that show up on the top bar when either of these types of messages come in. Now I did find two ways to do this, but that also turns off the notification sound. Details below.
The one I found to turn off the SMS was:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings - SMSAvailable DWORD=0
The one I found to turn off the email was:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\
{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} - Options DWORD=536870912 (decimal)
When I would either get a SMS or Email, the notification light would flash, and on TF3D It would show the number count of new messages without the redundant icon in the tray showing too. I thought GREAT! But then I tested it a few times even though I though it was working was no alert sound.
Basically what I am trying to do is keep the same functionality but without the extra icons in the tray. I do not know why I need both a new email/sms count with the TF3D as well as the same notification in the tray.
Anyone out there have any ideas, or clues????
As far as i know when you change the value in the reg to "536870912 (decimal)" for email notifications, that your are actually disabling notifications altogether for that function. Meaning that i dont think you can disable the icon without also disabling the the sound.
I feel you on the whole 2 notifications thing being kind of redundant. This has also bothered me for some time now.
My olny thought would be to maybe replace the icon with a blank icon but i dont know maybe somebody else has a better idea
OK this might sound stupid... How does one replace those icons? I have thought of that as well. But I have not seen a jpg, gif, png of any sort on this device of those icons?
I can make the icons easy once I know the process to replace them. Anyone able to assist in that process?
The icons are stored in dll files, so you cant just replace them with another icon real easily. I dont know too much about this, i still have some reading to do.
FInixNOver has a nice thread explaining it though.

I might try doing something this weekend on it but im busy the rest of today. I think post #5 on that thread is were the SMS and Email icons are discussed.

Thanks for this, as I was looking for a way to disable the email taskbar notification and this seems to be working fine.
While I would also like to disable the SMS taskbar notification, that one's not as critical to me right now. Seems like there should be a way to separate out the taskbar notification from the others. After all, sound and led notifications are broken out separately, why not the taskbar notification? As usual, something that should have been added into WM long ago but still hasn't been...
Did someone manage to fix the issue? I have the same need as rdhose.
Hi, is anybody know how i can enable dismiss for right button on homescreen when sms arrive? Im used to read messages directly from that little popup. But now on HD2 i cant simply mark it as read from homescreen. Any suggestions?
Hi guys,
I am trying since hours but without any success:-(
I want to add my missed events on my lockscreen (calls, sms, whatsapp and email)
Whatsapp is no problem at all. Solved it with Tasker and Minimalistic Text.
Now I am trying to bring in the variable for the missed call to Minimalistic Text from Tasker.
Unfortunately there is no event I can grab to get there.
Is it eventually locked within ics?
It would be great if someone could help me. Please do not link me to Missed It because the size of the fonts is max 40 dpi and thats to small for my design.
Thanks a lot and best regards

Ok, I think I can find a way around but therefore I need a missed call app which will put the missed call notification in the notification bar. Really weird because ICS is exactly handling it this way but I can not link to it.
I have treid droid notify but i don't like any popups and so on.
Thanks and best regards

Is there any way to change the call incoming screen? I keep accidentally answering the call (since if I click anywhere except Decline it answers)... Seriously why isn't there a slider on this? I downloaded an app, but it made me slide AND THEN it showed the HTC call screen too. Any answers? Thanks.
This somehow fixed itself... Maybe switching to Nova Launcher? Now it says drag up to answer the call... interesting.
