Show notifications in ParanoidAndroid

Hi guys!
So I'm running ParanoidAndroid and loving it..
Only one question: I'm using the extended desktop mode so I can't see my notifications bar. Is there any way to quickly see my notification?

Do you want the status bar permanently enabled or not? If you change the softkey height to 0 in PA the hybrid settings, you can have the status bar and PIE controls at the same time.
Also, go into the pie controls (settings>toolbars) and change the style to quick or bare, it should be a lot faster.

plus, you can swipe up with pie to access both panels, toggles and notifications.

[Q] quick pulldown when no notifications

Hi.
I got my Nexus 4 today, and I really like it. I flashed CM10.1 nightly and it is very smooth.
Only feature I miss, it the following: If there are no notifications, when I pull the status bar I would get the quick settings. If there are notifications, when I pull the status bar I would get the notifications tray.
I had this feature on my old phone custom ROMs and I would like to have it on my Nexus too. Is there a ROM that allows it?
Thanks.

It's in the system settings (Settings>System)

Sorry, I just can't find it there. The Quick pulldown option has only "Off, Right, Left" options, while the one I want ("If no notifications") is not present.
Am I missing something?

i believe both carbon rom and liquid smooth have it.
edit: maybe not carbon, i swear i saw it before but now i cant find it. at any rate, there are definitely multiple roms for us that have that feature, ive seen it quite a few times.

I believe AOKP had it when I was using it a while ago.

[Q] ROM advice needed

I have a Nexus 4 and after playing with stock, CM and PA ended up with a little "wish list" for my perfect ROM:
- ability to auto-hide both statusbar and navbar
(I mean they have to show-up only when needed, with a swipe or some sort of trigger)
- ability to customize nav-ring targets
(to add something more than Google Now).
For what I gather Slim Bean has these features, but would like to ear from more experienced XDA heads.
Thanks a lot guys!

Hi Mate,
Try Carbon ROM, Its pretty feature rich and runs slick.
Cheers, SUmit

CM has the first feature to auto hide status and nav bar it's under settings/system/expanded desktop to turn it on/off hold down the power button and you'll see the option.
Not sure what you mean about nav-ring controls, U mean like pie?

CM's Expanded Desktop doesn't let you show statusbar or navigation buttons with a swipe up/down; to view a notification you have to exit Expanded Desktop mode.
Navigation-ring is the ring which pops-up when you swipe from the bottom, the one normally used to launch Google Now.

For the nav ring in cm 10.1, you can add 2 more targets for a total of 3 and customize them under system->settings->quick launch shortcuts.

Yep, I know about CM customization options, but what I'm looking for is a ROM with BOTH the features mentioned in OP.

Do a nandroid and install slim bean and see if it works, if it doesn't flash another ROM to try and restore your backup.
However, on carbon (and presumably other ROMs) you can enable Expanded Desktop and use PIE for navigation and then, by enabling the chevron targets in the pie settings, flick up to either side from pie to show quick settings or notifications, depending on the side you flick up to.

Notification pulldown theming

Are there any ROMs that support custom colors for that top part of the notification draw? Like the black bar on top that shows the time (when its pulled down) ?

I've tried Paranoid Android and PAC Android which does this. It's in Settings, Hybrid Setting, swipe to the right, then choose Apps if I'm not mistaken.
There are probably more though.

Q. How to change the drop down menu completely to stock android?

Hi guys,
I bought a new note 4 yesterday, after my note 3 is dead.
I was used to install cyanogenmod rom when I buy a new galaxy phone.
I like to be on stock android like nexus devices.
This time! I don't what to install cyanogenmod to my new note 4 from many reasons, I like the s pen features and fingerprint scanner! But still I want the look and feel of stock android!
I can install theme "material theme" and nova luncher or Google now luncher to change the look. The look will change to a good point but the notifications on status bar and drop down menu won't change of course. They will be touchwiz style!
Also I can change the status bar icons to be like stock with xposed modules, but the pull down menu! Still I don't figure it out.
Is that possible to change it completely? The look and functionality?
And for the notifications, can we change samsung style small notifications on status bar to big drop down notifications like on stock?
I hope to not forced to install a custom rom!
