Hola! Esta versión me entusiasmo por todas las novedades y si ví bastantes cambios muy buenos en el re diseño de la notificación lo que me frustra un poco es que sigo viendo que si me mandan un WhatsApp abajo de la notificación de la isla sale la notificación predeterminada del sistema y eso no mucho me gusta y de momento el único problema que encontré es que por ejemplo al ver las notificaciones de WhatsApp y darle click a editar en y Mapas, se cierra la aplicación de golpe

There's a new version available on the gityhub repository, it fixes the crash problem

He podido replicar el problema del cierre de la aplicación y ya estoy trabajando en una solución.

Las notificaciones originales no las puedo modificar. Si te refieres a que salen ambas desplegadas cuando recibes un mensaje, puedes evitar este comportamiento desactivando la opción Notificación emergente en ajustes generales o en la opción apariencia de la aplicación.

Si justo es cuando llega un mensaje que se ve las dos, la solución que me das es dentro de HyperBridge o dentro de la configuración del sistema de Xiaomi ?
Te agradezco la respuesta 🙏🏻y la solución al bug anterior

[D4vidDf]

Es dentro de Hyper Bridge

[josuediaz1477]

Gracias! Ya logré solucionar

Luego de un tiempo ya usando la nueva versión sigue habiendo por momentos que se quedan las notificaciones fantasmas que en mi panel de notificaciones no tengo ninguna y en la isla si salen y a pesar de darle click en la isla dinámica no se desaparecen pero por el momento la aplicación la veo muy bien y mejor

Best regards! @D4vidDf
Without a doubt I loved your app! It's a feature that I think should be part of the system to be more coherent and give more use to the hyper island.

I have had a small inconvenience, I don't know if it is my mistake, or if it can be corrected. The notifications are duplicated in the panel. And if I deactivate them, the island is removed too.

Is there a solution?

Thanks!

[D4vidDf]

Hola,

Puedes desactivar las notificaciones de Hyper Bridge en El panel de notificaciones así solo se mostraría en la isla

Para ello entra en los ajustes de la aplicación, ajustes globales y desactiva la opción Panel de notificaciones.

También puedes modificar estos parámetros para cada aplicación

[Tinorionstars]

It has worked! You're a crack! 👌
I hope to be able to support them with a contribution soon!
