Notification pulldown theming - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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) ?
Sent from my Nexus 4

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] Paranoid Android 3+: Can I display status bar with Pie Controls?

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 ^^

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.

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

Notification drop down shows tiles by default

I'm running CodefireX SR 12.5 and its an amazing ROM. But like most ROMs, the pull down notifications will automatically show the quick tiles when you don't have any pending notifications. I dislike this as I'm not a fan of the tiles. I'd rather it just show the notifications side of the drop down bar by default like in CM 10.1.
Is there a build.prop mod or something that I can do to have the drop down notifications show the front side by default instead like in CM 10.1?
No big deal, just curious. Thanks guys!

[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.

"Transcluent" Notification Bar With 5.0 Gapps

I have, for example, Gmail 5.0 running. Looks great - but the notification bar isn't red when Gmail is open (like on my N5) , isn't grey when Drive is open, blue w/ documents, etc.
Is there a way to change that?
I only know this through an xposed module which colors your notification bar.
Would be good to know if you are on stock rom or not and rooted or not.
Stock rom doesn't have this feature. Especially not the nexus 10 which even hasn't got the translucent navigation and notification bar.

Purity + ART enabled
Lollipop has ART enabled by default, so there goes Xposed...
