Root GB miui 2.3.5

Just noticed with the latest update the notification bar only shows the miui circle with dots and a number and not the actual app which has the notification.

I kinda like the new way it's done. Persistent notifications I have, like Tasker, Trillian, etc are grouped, which is fine since I don't need to see them at all times, and when something new comes in like an email or message, the notification shows up separately. I think it's quite a neat solution.

Chinese devs have released a statement regarding the grouped notification icons. It seems they are considering giving us options as to how we want the notification icons to appear on our screen. Ive managed to get the original statement google translated so its not perfect but you'll get the gist of it!

"The purpose is to inform the first Android lot of different specifications for each vendor, resulting in the status bar is very confusing, all kinds of icons color, size is not the same. So we try to have ways to make the status bar easier to reduce interference.

One solution is to see you last week, the system itself, let us draw a high degree of uniform color Icon, the system is hidden by other than the numbers indicate, after the drop-down visible.
This pros and cons, in exchange for sacrificing part of the visual availability of clean, after all the feedback this is not a good program.

Next, our direction is this:

Notification icon offers a global control mechanism, you can choose the following three ways:
1. All the notification icon appears in the status bar
2. Only the system and the core notice App icon will appear in the status bar
3. For you to choose the white list (you can choose to notify certain Apps icon does not appear in the status bar)

This need to clean part of the user can go to hide the icon to see all the users to meet.
If you have ideas, please respond directly to feedback from it
"

you can leave feedback on the chinese forum or the english version... MIUI Official Site

Will it be this Friday or is it still a work in progress?

Chinese devs have confirmed that notification bar is getting revamped this Friday. When I say revamped I mean they are bringing back the old froyo style notification icons which means no more grouped notifications!! ;) They are also including a new USB toggle in the notification drop down.

My next phone will definitely NOT have an encrypted bootloader, so I can take advantage of all the wonderful mods and roms you guys have in your day to day experience. I have the DX (Moto). I got it before I started modding. Now, I regret the bootloader thing. This Miui rom is definitely one I would have loved to have. Enjoy it! :)
