I'm really digging Paranoid Android and the extended dekstop mode... That being said, I really miss my status bar. While the Pie control is a fantastic replacement for the bottom control bar, it's much less functional and efficient when it comes to displaying information and notifications.
I miss seeing my time, reception and notifications all the time.
I'd like to get the best of both worlds - Pie Control, with a Status Bar, but so far I haven't had any luck with settings. Is this possible at this point at all?

Yep, just set navbar to 0% in hybrid properties>interface>workspace
Just FYI, the paranoid android team is working on improving the pie so notifications show up as a "tickler" even in pie mode

I must be missing something. I set navbar to 0% as instructed, but the status bar still doesn't show up.
Also, I would like to have a customizable PIE control. There is currently no way to add buttons to PIE. When I'm on AOKP, I always add two buttons to the navbar - menu and search. The menu button is very handy as I can hit it and it shows "Nova Settings" and "System Settings," the two setting menus I use very frequently.
While the search button is on PIE, the menu isn't. Unfortunately, I can't live without it.
[EDIT] Nevermind... you do allow the menu button to show up in PIE. The position can't be changed, but it's a lot better than I mistakenly thought. Sorry!
Make sure not to enable expanded desktop if you're just trying to hide the navbar, if you just set the navbar to 0% it'll hide it and you won't need expanded desktop.
And make sure to press the "apply" button.
Forgot it myself ^^

Yo thanks so much for this. Just like the OP I love the pie control but always need the constant status bar. My man!

Yeah, but now the second ring (date, time etc) never shows up. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?
I posted this in another thread a while ago but didn't get an answer.
Is there a way to get the Notification bar AND the notifications in the PIE format too? Let me explain. Right now, I have full-screen PIE controls and in the settings I have the Pie type set to "Quick" which brings up the notifications right when Pie gets activated. I really like that functionality and I want to keep it. Is there any way to get that when using the above-posted solution? I can get the Notification bar and Pie controls just like what was posted, but I also want the notifications to pop up when I activate Pie. Anyone get that to work?
Had the same issue

Had the same problem as I switched back from using JellyBam to Paranoid Android. As the Paranoid Settings are persistent on the SD card I figured that was where the problem was. I had set the Nav bar to 0% in the Paranoid Settings as that was the only way to hide it in JellyBam, which meant that upon launch already it was set like that. My Pie menu was also not displaying the second ring, however when I set the Nav bar back to 100% and then enabled Expanded Desktop it all of a sudden started working again.
I'm not sure if it was because of the change in the Nav bar size or that I played with the different layouts, but it made the Pie menu work as per usual again. One more thing to mention is that despite where I had tried to set the Pie gravity to before doing all this it never took effect, even after a restart. Now all is fine again.
So play with your layout setting (tablet, phablet, phone) and then set them back to your preferred ones and see if that works.
I know it's most likely not exactly your scenario but am hoping that somehow this helps.

It is not possible to have the full pie and status bar at the same time because it is redundant as said by moles the dev of pa. But they are working on pie2 as of now.

Any idea why ?

Use your 2 finger and pinch your home screen to enable status bar/ navigation bar.

Hey guys I just flashed paranoid android and I can't get my status bar to come back with these instructions.. any advice? This is driving me nuts.
used paranoid android for a month.
I used paranoid android for a month on my note 2, and from my short experience I know messing with it's settings kinda sucks... I would recommend taking the nav bar to 0%. And then to download LMT launcher and put it in the bottom of the screen. Don't forget to leave full screen mode. Hope I helped :cyclops:

Hope its not too late, just hold down the off-button and unselect "fullscreen", this will bring your notification bar back

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.

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.

None of this is my work, I just compiled a few different pieces of advice from others. Ever since I started using devices from OEMs that provide a way to do this, I've always enabled it.
Desired outcome: Having a Navbar button that expands the notification shade. (See screenshot)
Follow this XDA article to install and enable Custom Navigation Bar
Install the application Expand Statusbar from the Play Store
Open Expand Statusbar and set the default action to "Notifications"
Open Custom Navigation Bar and in the Navigation Bar settings, add an extra right or left button (your preference). Give it an icon (I chose Chevron down, your preference)
Map it to launch an app, choose Expand Statusbar
???
Profit!
Custom Navigation Bar is supposed to support Tasker profiles, so the ideal solution is having a Tasker Task toggle mapped to the button. I couldn't get it working on DP1 though, others may have more success. If you find a way to get it working through Tasker, post in here and I'll update the original post with alternate instructions.
I have Oneplus 5 and latest OOS OB5
Today i noticed that status bar gets automatically hidden and can be enabled only with swiping down.
I had Nova launcher installed, but in settings status bar is enabled like it has always been.
Just to make sure i cleaned Nova Launcher`s data and cache and disabled launcher.
But still status bar gets hidden and i have tried to find setting to get is back without success.
ps. As my phone is rooted i tried already dirty flash latest Beta OS and cleaned caches from recovery
If anyone is able to help that is greatly appreciated because I have no idea what can cause this or what should be done.
I don't use OOS but it sounds like a setting for expanded desktop is enabled. Search the settings for expanded desktop and if it's on disable it.

I have search immersive and expanded desktop, but unfortunately there is no such settings.
Also even if I enable navigation bar from settings they wont show up
I was able to bring status bar back with adb command
"adb shell settings put global policy_control null"
But still I don't have no idea how it got hidden
