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?

i'm using Apex i dont think it has that option. might have to switch back to stock launcher

I thought Apex supported widget resizing? Try pressing and holding on the widget. If a box appears around it you can resize it. If not, check out Nova launcher.

That has nothing to do with your launcher. Check the tweaks in your settings app. I'm not even sure if CM has that option. I know AOKP does.

Then there's your answer OP. Switch to another ROM or live with it.

[Q] Inivisible Status Bar

Is there a way to hide the status bar while keeping the functionality?
Just swipe down from top and boom notification out of no where

if you use a launcher i.e apex, nova etc you can hide the status bar and set a gesture ( i use swipe down) to show notifications

^ This
Using Apex myself and must say it's a dream!
The only thing I don't like is that widgets don't stay scaled the same after a reboot. But everything else can be configured.

Bug in Nova launcher with notification bar

Hi,
I am using Nova launcher with my Note 4.
I have not enabled the setting 'Transparent Notification Bar " but sometimes my notification Bar becomes transparent and to restore it
to non transparent, I have to restart Nova launcher.
Anybody else with the same bug ?
Daniel

I am also using Nova launcher for a long time, which app will trigger this problem ?

Understand that if the wallpaper in white color, it is the same as the color with the status bar icon, I will prevent to choose some wallpaper like this.
Sorry that I don't have s-cover, don't know why your problem =)

How did you get the transparent notification bar? Are you rooted or is it from Nova launcher?
I've nova but can't get it...

I am rooted but I don't remember if you can enable it with a non rooted device.. You can find this setting in «Look and feel»
from the Nova Settings.

NOVA launche top black gradient. this is how to remove it.

i finally found how to remove the annoying top black gradient from nova launcher. TW does not have it but if people prefer using nova launcher like i do, the black gradient becomes annoying in light home screen background.
NEEDS ROOT.
Below is how black gradient looks.
HOW TO REMOVE IT
1) XPOSED FRAMEWORK
2) DOWNLOAD "Tinted Translucent Status Bar"
3)After installation look for app "Translucen Style"
4)Where it says "Status Bar" select "FULL TRANSPARENT"
5)XPOSED will ask you to reboot , do so.
There you have it, full transparent without the annoying black gradient.

Or remove status bar. I think it makes it more simplistic

Yeah i used this option in nova launcher but is a pain having to hide the status bar to avoid this problem. i like having my status bar at all time without the need to hide it.

Not working for me. The same annoying black gradient. I followed the directions to a tee.

in translucen style
did you press "RESTART SYSTEM UI TO APPLY CHANGES" after selecting "full transparent"
THEN AFTER
DID YOU RECEIVED THE XPOSED FRAMEWORK PERMISSION AND REBOOT?

Yes I restarted system ui to apply the changes. I already had xposed installed, so didn't permission.

Don't understand... So we need the Tinted Translucent StatusBar Module? But we are going to use Translucent Style module right? We have to do something with Tinted Translucent StatusBar module too?
Tried with Translucent Style and it doesn't do anything after restarting... Instructions are not clear I think... So we need both modules or only one... Instructions mentioned 2 modules but only provided instructions for only one module.

The option in Nova doesn't work for you?

When u installed "tinted translucent statusbar" what it does is that it actually install an app name "translucent style". U make the changes from there. So is only 1 module

Works for me as well!

The following method worked for me:
Make sure the "Transparent Notification Bar" checkbox is checked in Nova Launcher (under Look and feel)
Install the "Translucent Style" mod in Xposed Installer(I installed beta version 2.3)
Activate module and Soft Reboot through Xposed Installer
In Translucent Style app, set Status Bar to Fully transparent and (here was the key for me) check the Try replacing the variable box.
