Removing icons from Notification Bar

Tennis is boring too. Get neck strain just watching it. And wtf is it with all the grunting? I might change my vote for most boring sport to golf though. Sit for hours waiting for them to hit the damn ball, and when I think they missed and laugh, its a practice swing....d'oh!

Say what you want about the imperial measurements, but kph readings look way too fast, and Celsius looks way too cold! One time, my Android device malfunctioned in Weather bug and got stuck in celcius, I was like "wtf?!" It ain't MINUS FIVE DEGREES! on wait, celcius again!"

Boring or not it is one of the most popular sports on earth, no question about it so it must be objectively exciting to an extent.

As for the metric conmment, that's just because you don't use the metric system lol , I'd be weirded out too if my weather app displayed the degrees in fahreinheit.

IPhone notifications and Notifier Pro are both great apps that work well.
They will both work over a 3rd party lock screen.

Would love it if I could make badge alerts universal. Little red numbers on all apps with counts. Sadly in Android that is only partially functional and I still get a status bar full of unnecessary icons. Whoever at Google thought folks prefer a icon cluttered notification bar vs clean, organized unread counts should have been fired

You can get it actually. Get Nova Launcher Prime, Tesla Unread Plugin and MissedIt. MissedIt is capable of detecting notifications for just about every app you have, and do it properly. Tesla Unread Plugin can be set to get it's notification data from MissedIt, so anything MissedIt detects, TUP can make a badge alert for. You need Nova Prime to get TUP working though.

i would try Prime on my tablet but i am not going to replace TSF Shell on my phone. it's just too neat to get rid of. it worked well if i used MissedIt! only on my Fire, unfortunately with Tesla it wouldn't refresh on its own requiring me to reload Prime to get them to update with new data, and, it still needs the icon on the status bar as a reference to the count. i would like it if i didn't have to keep hitting 'clear all' over and over again.

One 'bug' at a time i guess i got rid of everything else Android annoyed me with, discovered how to disable ANR and crash dialogs. logcatting and peeking in the Java code i found out that almost every app available has some sort of 'onforceclose' or 'on backaction' or somesuch. one of them had something to do with not responding, and some background receivers are normally enabled for things like crashreporter (shows the 'unexpected error, send report' in the notification area) and crashdialogbox (name varies, produces ANRs/Force Close notices under certain variables. disabling those 'features' and if and when an app does crash it just silently exits iOS style.

EDIT: again, since my phone runs Android 2.3, Nova Launcher won't run on it, Prime or no Prime. no amount of rooting will change that lol
