Better iPhone Push Notifications: OpenNotifier

2010-11-30
hey guys so today I'm here with the video showing you a very useful in handy little tweak in cydia called open notifier basically open notifier allows you to go ahead and kind of it's not a replacement per se however is this kind of a similar thing to Android wear if you've ever used an android phone you know that you can you pull the another fire down and you can see all your notifications all what's new and what's happening all over through all your apps of course iOS has something similar however the pop-up notifications certainly are not the best I'm so basically open notifier does is actually you can see here I do have a couple of them up in the top right-hand corner basically we'll just go ahead and give a small little notifier just letting you know that you know you have this or that so as you can see here it's totally customizable I have two of them so watch for my mail and the one is I have a few Game Center requests the way I've set it up so go ahead and show you guys head download it and how to set it up now to find it in cydia audience do is go ahead and type and open go the fire all one word you want to open it up it is free so it's definitely great so all you need to do is just go ahead and click on the top right hand corner and click install okay so now once you've respring your device you can go ahead and go into the settings app and go ahead and select open notifier now they're going to be a few options but you can pretty much ignore all these except for the apps now once you go into the app basically this is why you decide what apps you want to go ahead and display and what icons so let's go ahead just take for example this way it's a we want the App Store so it comes with five icon you can't install more however five are ok for me for the moment I'm so let's say we want when we get a notification for the App Store let's say we want you know the ! or whatever we can go ahead select that and the same goes you can go ahead and scroll through all your apps the pre-installed one so maybe like you know you want to set up when you get a FaceTime message or you can go ahead and scroll down here maybe you know your facebook or your Twitter whatever you want to do you can go ahead and set it up through open notifier okay so that's it as you can see it's a really handy little tweak works very well and personally I like it because you know instead of having getting push notifications or having to look for badges these pops up very non intrusively in my status bar and when I see the icon say oh I've got an email or a bad new friend request or however you decide set up
