Looking for rom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a rom that has a status bar at the top while pie control is active. Something like what's in the photo.
I've tried PA maybe I couldn't find the option.

Carbon, aokp, liquid.
But I'm fairly sure PA has it too.

You have to go to "Hybrid properties" swipe your finger to the right and click on interface. You will see two options, choosing the Nav. Bar option drag the blue bar all the way down to zero hit apply and enable pie.

CM 10.1 can do that.

I use CM 10.1, nova launcher, and I can have that.
Active extended desktop with CM 10.1 options (then active it with a long press on power button). Then, in Nova, make an action for double tap (or any gesture you like) that hide or show status bar.
And it rocks. You can have only navbar, only statusbar, or both, your call, very quickly.
(sorry for my bad English, feel free to help me ^^ )

Bottom bar "open notifications" button mod?

Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:
With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.
In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck
Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.
Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.
Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?

Pull down menu

Is there anyway to utilize the initial space on the pull down menu to have quick settings? Isn't it goofy you have to pull that down and then click on a tab to get to quick settings?

Well, CyanogenMod has some toggles on the first page of the notification menu (you can activate then through the settings).
Alternatively, you can change the notification bar's behavior that if you swipe down on the right you get to the quick sittings instantly, otherwise you'll get to the normal notification menu. Cm and aokp both have this feature. Pa has it too if I'm not completely mistaken.
Power Toggles https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
I find power toggles pretty awful. Widgetsoid would be my choice. It's much like Samsung's touchwiz toggles, and fully customizable.

Move Nav bar buttons in phablet

Using AOKP pub. Really like it. Only one thing I am still missing. I want to keep phablet UI (I hit status bar menus accidentally while typing in tablet ui) but move the three Nav bar buttons over to the far left, on the bottom so they can be reached easily. Are there any mods, themes, ROMs.... anything that will do this?

Is it possible to use pie without hiding status bar?

I'm on PA 3.6 and would like to use pie. However, when I select pie, it gets rid of the status bar. My question is, is it possible to use pie without getting rid of the status bar?

Go settings, preferences, swipe to the right, press hybrid settings and drag the nav. bar option slider to "0".
A little search in the PA thread should've gotten the answer.

Yes possible. Goto hybrid setting then u will see navigation button line will be 100%. Make it to 0. Nav button will be hidden, pie will be active and status bar will be shown.

[Q] "Double function" on statusbar

I have seen on several videos some kind of double function on the pulldown statusbar. When pulled down from the left side on the statusbar it displays the notifications and when pulled down from the right side it goes directly to the "tiles" with WiFi, Signal and user...
What mod is this? I would love to have that config...
// Manneman
It's integrated in some custom roms (i.e SlimBean).
Otherwise you can use xposed framework and gravity toolbox, it's also included in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070
The option you're looking for is that one :
--- Quick pulldown - switches to QuickSettings when status bar is pulled down near edges
EDIT: beware, gravity toolbox is not compatible with MIUI
I'm running stock at the moment... so no worries. Thanx alot, mate!
You're welcome
You pull down with two fingers on stock don't you? No mod required.
