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 everyone, hopefully someone can help me...
I just updated my rom, and it has a port of quicksettings on from another developer... This in turn has made the pulldown notification area a tiny bit borked (through my eyes). The pulldown notification starts at the bottom, and has to be pulled down to the bottom to show the first notification...
So if I have an email/text etc, then I need to pull down notification bar just to see who it is from.. It wasn't like this before this update, and fear that because it was ported from another developer, might not get fixed...
Are there any developers that hang out here, that could point me into the right direction?
I haven't asked the rom developer yet, as I know he is very busy with the rom, but would be my next step if no one here can help me!
Many thanks, Matt
P.S. A picture speaks a thousand words, please see attached image that shows me pulling down the notification bar, but it not showing the notification until it is all the way down
EDIT: Developer fixed this
Hello guys,
I've been trying to theme SystemUI.apk on Galaxy S Duos S7562 and as a noob i believe that i really progressed in one week.
But at one point, i'm stuck and i can't go further because of this issue. Problem is that little green box appearing in quicksetting bar.
Everytime i switch on/off something, it shows up while on/off icons having their transitions. Earlier on, i thought it's about drawables-hdpi/###_dim.png files. I changed them back to stock ones, i changed toggle background 9-patch files to stock ones but nothing happened. Afterly i found out that green box is related to alert_bar_background_normal.9.png file. Yet, i don't know how this is gonna help me solve the issue's itself.
I hope you folks come up with a working idea!
When new messages pop up on my lock screen part of the box is orange but I've seen many people with the same phone and it seems to be transparent for them so it isn't orange It only shows the white folder part Then around it, it's just the lock screen background. Anyone know which setting it is to change it ? I uploaded an image so you can see what I'm Talking about. Thanks
I would just like to know of there is a way to have the screen stay off when I get a notification , I've mainly seen this happen for text messages. I'm not a big fan of having the screen wake every time there's notification. I've Googled and checked through these forums and was unable to find anything about that.
Looking through the settings I don't see anything that sticks out to me that allows you to change that.
If anyone could help that would be great thanks

I'll go to Settings>lock screen>no hide all notifications. If this what you want.

No not like that, I noticed that only the stock LG messenger app wakes the screen when you get a text, other messengers have settings to change that
