I agree, it does stink to lose the ev/1x notifier, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter. I live in a good reception area, but even when I'm not, it doesn't make a difference to me. For example, if I am in 1x or ev, I will still use the internet, etc, so I won't exactly be getting up from my seat to find a better reception point. I suppose it would matter if I were to listen to streaming music, in which case I would want to know if I was in an ev area. My two cents. I remove most of the notifiers on the top bar of wisbar because I can function without them; I only have battery/memory, time, ok/close, and notifier. I like the cleaner interface. I seemed to have great difficulty operating my device without wisbar since I feel I need to know what programs are open. The list of running apps helps me have knowledge and control over what my device is doing at any moment. Wisbar and aebplus vastly improve one-handed operation, so to me, they are essential.
The developer of wisbar has said in his forum that he has tried many times to incorporate the ev/1x notifier but he hasn't been able to find where the OS sends the ev/1x notifier information to the today screen. He can't intercept the notifier to harness that info for wisbar. He has been working on that issue for a while with no success.
That being said, I have been using wisbar for over a year, and though at first I thought it too slow, I kept with it. Over the past 6 months, there have been numerous revisions that have substantially increased the speed. The only things I notice are a slight lag with the start menu; I don't mind since I find the start menu much more useful than the native start menu.
If you haven't tried it in a while, it might be time to give it another try ...
It seems quite snappy with aku 3.3
again, my two cents.
