The ICS notification allows users to "swipe" single notifications away. I was wondering if this can be done on a rooted Gingerbread phone?

On a stock carrier/manufacturer's ROM there's probably not a whole lot you can do I would imagine, but CyanogenMod 7 (its Gingerbread-based version) allows you to dismiss individual notifications by swiping them away. You can see it in action in this Lifehacker article.

Are there any 3rd party apps or mods that will allow me to do that on the Xperia GB rom? – Propeller Jul 10 '12 at 17:57
@ShedoSurashu: I've never seen one (although that doesn't mean one does not exist somewhere). Re-working the notification bar's behavior is somewhat non-trivial, though, and AFAIK it's not really possible without modifying the Android source. – eldarerathis♦ Jul 10 '12 at 17:59
Ah, I see, thanks for the info! – Propeller Jul 10 '12 at 18:10
