iPhone OpenNotifier iOS7 and iOS8: Unofficial Version

Thanks for all your work to make this work again! I'm just having one minor little issue, a few apps I have set aren't showing status bar notifications, most work, so not sure why a few aren't, any ideas?

OpenNotifier works by hooking into the SpringBoard function SBApplication -> setBadge. When that function is called for an enabled app, OpenNotifier checks the badge count. If it is > 0, it puts the icon in the status bar. If it = 0, it removes the icon from the status bar.

I don't see how it's possible for it not to work unless:
1) The app in question has found some other method besides SBApplication -> setBadge to add an icon badge.
or
2) The OpenNotifier icon you are trying to use is broken.

For the applications that do not work, do you see a badge on the home screen icon?

If no, you should enable badges for the app and try again.

If yes, have you tried respringing while the home screen icon has a badge? Does the OpenNotifier icon show up after the respring?

That top right icon, is that one for tapatalk?

I'm using an icon pack by a user named "moshed" on reddit and it doesn't have a tapatalk icon so I tried using the tumblr icon. Unfortunately whenever I open the tapatalk app, the icon shows up in the status bar and stays on even when I don't have any notifications. Anyone else have this issue with tapatalk?

no, it's not. I don't have an icon set for tapatalk

I'm using the "stock for opennotifier" pack and don't see a tapatalk icon... but it does have a Tango icon that is a "T". you could set the tango icon for the tapatalk notifications.

Thanks for answering.

I can't really have an icon set for the tapatalk app until I find out why it stays in the statusbar after the app is opened even without notifications =/ the same thing happened with the alarm icon and I'm not sure why. Anytime I toggle on/off any icons in the settings, the alarm icon pops up and won't go away until a respring.

In my experience using the mailbox app (and a mail icon for opennotifier), when I go to my inbox to read my email, even though I no longer have a new notification, the mail envelope stays in the status bar until I close the app. Maybe tapatalk behaves the same way

I just tried this and the icon still stays. I just don't think I'm meant to get ON status icons for tapatalk lol
 
Do you have any WhatsApp tweaks or Flex patches installed? I have had a few people send emails and say it doesn't work.

I don't really use WhatsApp but I did install it 1.5 months ago, just to test it, and it worked. A friend sent me a message while WhatsApp was closed, a badge appeared on the WhatsApp icon and an OpenNotifier icon appeared in the status bar. When I read the message and closed the app, the icon badge and status bar icon disappeared.

Hey, any idea why the whatsapp notification isn't working? It's never worked for me.

OpenNotifier works flawless for WA here. Must be something related to your settings or any WA add-on possibly installed.

Do you get notification badge(s) on the app icon at all once a message is received?

Yeah, I have the badge on, banner is on. The only thing disabled is sounds.

Did you go into the open notifier settings and then the whatsapp setting and choose an icon for it? I had to do this for skype so I assume you might have to do the same for whatsapp.

Yup. I've done that too.

Edit: it's just the whatsapp icon that does work fr that stock icons for open notifier pack. All is good again.

You can't access iFile. iFile is a program that runs on the device itself. If you don't have openssh or afc2add installed, you cannot access the full file system on your device from your computer. I suggest starting your own thread for this, though, as this is not OpenNotifier related.

HELP! I have a similar problem as UJL. I uninstalled OpenNotifier because some Apps won't open after installing it. Cydia told me to reboot my phone after uninstallation so I did. Since then my phone is in a respring loop and only shows the Apple Logo. I tried to install OpenNotifier again with the Cydia AutoInstall folder (yes I can access with iFunBox) but still no chance. If I try to access via SSH, it says connect timed out (I have OpenSSH installed on my iPhone). I don't want to restore it, do you or anybody else have any solution for me? I don't want to lose my jailbreak

Today I spoke with tateu. He said that he will not update to 7.1.1 and update subject a tweak.

Original text:
No, my device is jailbroken on 7.0.6 and I have no current plans to upgrade my device so I have no way to get OpenNotifier working on 7.1.x

That settles it. I won't update to 7.1.x. We were lucky tateu gave us such a gift for 7.0. It would have been nice to go to 7.1.x and get rid of the reboots. But OpenNotifier is to big for me. If Tateu were to somehow get it done. I'd be happy to donate $30
