Along with iOS 5, a major update that came along was the banner notifications instead of the irritating pop-ups. While introducing the new banner notifications at WWDC most of the notifications from built-in apps or thirds party apps were discussed, but a common notification of low battery wasn’t discussed and Apple has kept the same pop-up for low battery warning. No wonder whether Apple purposely ignored it or not, but it should have been replaced with the new banner like notification because it is really interrupting and very annoying.
If you’re also annoyed or feel interrupting because of the same old low battery notification, then there’s a new tweak recently released by snakeninny & PrimeCode called LowPowerBanner which can help you replace that irritating block pop-up with a nice new notification banner along with vibration and optional sounds.
How To Install LowPowerBanner
- Search the word ‘LowPowerBanner’ or look for the tweak in the BigBoss repo.
- No new homescreen icons will be added but there will be some settings to configure in the Settings.app
- The settings to configure are; at what % it should alert you, whether you would like it to vibrate, and have sound.
LowPowerBanner has recently been updated to v 1.3.2 with multi-lingual support and bug fixes. In the last update the options in the Settings.app were added which has been quite useful since then. You need an jailbroken iDevice running on iOS 5 or higher. If you need any help regarding jailbreaking your device please refer to our step-by-step guide posted here.
You can download LowPowerBanner from the Cydia store under the BigBoss repository for FREE, but if you are an advanced user and want to transfer this tweak via SSH, please feel free to use some popular SSH clients like WinSCP for Windows and Cyberduck for Mac OS X.
