Paranoid Android Shows Us ‘Hover’ in New Video

paranoid-android-hover

Paranoid Android has still got to be the most innovative ROM out there, but opinions will differ. From introducing the Android world to PIE, to bringing us nifty little notification bubbles called HALO, Paranoid is always striving for excellence. They recently told the world that they are discontinuing HALO in their newer builds, which kind of broke my heart, but now they will be bringing in the much simpler (and probably less annoying) Hover feature.

What Hover does is it brings the best part of HALO, which is the fact that a pop-up window shows up on your screen when clicking on the notification. It takes multitasking to a whole new level, but instead of a bubble that many people found annoying with HALO, a banner pops out of the top of the screen and once you click it, it will bring on that pop-up window for easy access to the notification. The banners looks very much like the app Notifier, but having the pop-up window makes me want to forget Notifier. Check out the video below to see it in action.
