How to get an Android style Notification drawer on iPhone/iPod Touch!

Have you ever been jealous of how Android handles its notifications? I know I have! The iPhone has a serious flaw in the area of unobtrusive notifications. I always gave Android a clear win in this area.

So if you are like me and want something new then this App is definitely for you! It logs all notifications in one App for later viewing, it also allows for a "drawer" style panel to be enabled (Via Activator) to view all notifications no matter what you are doing on your device.

If you want to get the most out of this wonderful App then you have a couple plugins to choose from, you can use both but I wouldn't recommend it since they both do the same function differently.

The two plugins are Notification Bar and Statusbar Notifications (can both be found in Cydia for free!)

*Note* for both these plugins to work properly you have to go into the Notified App and disable all alerts for "Springboard" and "Lockscreen" otherwise you will get duplicate alerts from the plugin and from the normal iPhone notification system.

Now to get the best "Android-like" effect, I use the Statusbar Notifications plugin, it works wonderfully. As you can see in the screenshot it covers the Statusbar, but dissapears once you active the Notified Pro Panel, it can also be cleared by just tapping the Statusbar if its in your way.

Now Notified Pro costs money in the Cydia store and I would advice you to purchase the App if you like it and think you'll use it! Because it really is worth the money. But for those of you who "try before you buy *wink*" then you can use this cracked version here: http://www.multiupload.com/SBXQW0ELIT

This crack works with both plugins so all you have to do is download them from the ModMyI Cydia Repo and your good to go!

Enjoy!
