Each of you has probably seen icons from iOS, as well as a very convenient function of displaying a number above the application, which means the number of missed messages or notifications. Now the same function can be implemented on any desktop icons on Android. To do this, you only need an app and working apps.
Before using the application, launch it and do the first: click on the text itself, and then enable the application itself in the settings. After that, find the widget in the list of widgets and install it on your desktop. After installation, you can choose any application from which you definitely receive notifications and would like to see the number of missed notifications. Most likely, this application is more suitable for messaging applications and other social functions. The widget takes up exactly the same size as a regular icon, so it can be considered very compact.
You can customize a widget only once, but the number of widgets on the desktop is not limited, so you can at least provide all applications with this function. To summarize: - this is a very convenient and compact application that every user who leads an active social life will definitely need. Enjoy your use!
Today Cydia has extensions that can solve almost any problem. Especially for those who want to clear the icons on the iPhone home screen from intrusive badges, there is a rather unusual tweak in the unofficial app store called Confero.
Confero removes all badges from the home screen. But at the same time, users will always be able to quickly view applications with new events and notifications. To do this, just click on the icon in the status bar. Immediately, we note that due to its small size, it is better to configure this action for a gesture or a key combination in the Activator.
By and large, Confero looks like a regular folder, which contains applications with unread notifications. Separately, we note that, if desired, users can set the lock mode on the main tweak window using Touch ID.
Confero can be purchased from Cydia for $ 1.50. The tweak is compatible with iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Mobile device owners are familiar with the so-called badges (stickers) - red circles with a notification counter displayed over application icons. They are very convenient when it comes to frequently used programs (social networks, e-mail, etc.).
With just a glimpse of your screen, you know that someone has sent you a message, commented on a post on Facebook, or liked it on Instagram. However, there are a number of applications where notification badges are unnecessary (for example, a wallpaper app that notifies you when new images are available) and only clutter up the screen. The red icon over the ever-increasing number can be annoying and distracting, but luckily it can be turned off.
It is very easy to hide notification badges. Moreover, you can do this for each individual application.
1. Open the application "Settings" and select a section "Notifications"... Here, under the name of each app, you can see which notifications are enabled for that app. Inscription "Stickers" indicates an activated option that allows notification badges to be placed on icons.
2. Tap the name of the application for which you want to disable notification badges.
3. Set the switch "Stickers" into position Off.
It is worth noting that when disabling stickers in the application mail(E-mail), it is necessary to configure the display of badges for each account separately.
It was and it is:
In chapter "Notifications" other options are available. You can turn off all notifications completely by moving the slider opposite "Admitting notifications"... You can also disable "Sounds" and "Banner display"... For banners, you can select the option "Temporarily"(notifications will appear on the screen and then disappear) or "Constantly"(notifications will appear on the screen and stay there until you read them).
When notification badges are enabled for each app, there is a risk that the desired notification will get lost among the abundance of red icons. In order not to miss a really important notification, just turn off badges where you don't need them.
Without stopping in their actions and anticipating the desires of users of jailbroken Apple devices, the developers daily offer new tweaks available for download in the alternative online store Cydia, thereby pretty much stirring up the interest of all those who have not yet bitten their apple on another side, but already close to it. The large selection of utilities in Cydia impresses with the abundance of functions that can be added to the functionality of your i-gadgets. The tweak, which will be discussed today, will not bring anything fundamentally new, but will save users from the little red "irritant". The Clear Badges tweak will save you from annoying badges over the icons on the springboard - today this is the topic of our discussion.
The springboard of the "apple" device is constantly replenished with "red circles with numbers" above the icons, signaling the owner, for example, about incoming messages or reminding about the available updates of the utilities installed on the gadget. All those who are accustomed to order not only in their personal lives, but also to order on the smartphone desktop, begin to get annoyed when these red badges do not disappear for certain reasons.
A little trick was developed by the creators of the Clear Badges tweak, installing which, you can get rid of annoying red badges above the icons without any extra nerves and problems. It is worth noting the thoughtfulness and prudence of the developers, who took into account even the smallest "but". These information badges are not always useless, for example, those that notify of new messages, or notifications from social networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) once again signal their users to read, call or respond. Therefore, the Clear Badges tweak allows you to delete only those red badges that you do not need, or you think they are useless.
Having discussed the main purpose of the utility, let's go directly to the process of using it on your i-device. The first thing that distinguishes the tweak is the absence of an icon on the springboard after installing it. In other words, by downloading the Clear Badges tweak from Cydia, you don't need to visit the settings section or anything like that. The tweak will work automatically after respring. After rebooting the desktop, you just have to click on any of the icons on the desktop, slightly holding it for a couple of seconds. As soon as the rest of the icons begin to wobble, double-click on those icons that you would like to clear of red reminders. It couldn't be simpler ... Now your nervous system is at the stage of pacification, there is order on the springboard, as they say, "everything is on the shelves", there is a wide smile on your face ...
