Currently running cyanogenmod on my 7.7, I would prefer the 'phone' interface with the pull down notification bar, is there any way that I can enable this?
Thanks

I think this requires a dpi change . I'm not sure, but I'd be interested in trying this out. It'd work kinda like the Nexus 7.

Set swipe-down gesture (on any decent launcher) to "open notification".
Yeah, swipe down notification like a phone, but i wanna it workable on landscape too

I don't understand why anyone likes the pull down bar, to me the most natural place is at the bottom of the screen where my thumbs rest. It's hassle to have to move to the top of the screen. What advantages is it to have the bar at the top?

The term pull up bar was already taken. And no one likes pull up bars
You can change it with modifying the build.prop file and change the settings for:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
I think if you set it to 240 it will run in so called "phablet" mode and you have the Pull down bar.
I tried it, but almost broke my installation, as the screen stayed totally black after a reboot.
So i stopped fiddling with this option.
Is it possible to port this feature to the nexus s 4g. If so what steps do I need to take to get this feature

You could start by posting in the right section.
Then add a link to the feature you're requesting.

Im not a dev so i cant do it but here are some possible work arounds. You could assign take screenshot to one of the gestures in Apex Launcher so pinching in or two finger swipe would do it. Or I have it assigned in my navbar ring (i think most JB ROMS have this) its close to a gesture I just swipe up from the navbar and it takes a screen cap. Hope that at least gives you something similar until you can work out a real port.

Thanks for actually replying with helpful information! I'm new to xda sorta so when it comes to certain things I am completely lost, as I'll try your work around method! Still wondering if a port is possible

Enable it and find out? Or do a super simple Google search that would have taken less time to find out than create this thread.

PIE is basically a fancy set of soft keys. It is activated by touching a trigger area. It is mainly used in place of a navigation bar so that you can use the entire screen.
You are able to adjust the trigger area to the top, either side or bottom.

Oic. I get it now. Tq.

You can set up something similar in the AOSP browser (SETTINGS>>LABS>>QUICK CONTROLS)... and with EXPANDED DESKTOP enabled (in CM based ROMs), you have 100% of your screen given over to what is being displayed... so no nav or status bar.
Everything is controlled via the PIE touch selection, usually with your thumb.
I'm not a big fan to be honest... I can see the attraction with a 'phone, where screen 'real estate' is at a premium...
...but on a tablet... ???
Rgrds,
Ged.
Like my subject say's. I can only use pie control only if it is set to right gravity. Also I don't think it's a ROM issue cause I also can't use nav bar on twrp. So not sure what to do

I'm not sure what ROM you're using, but normally PIE controls work at the bottom of the screen only when the nav bar is hidden in extended desktop mode.
Paranoid android 3.97 and I know I have full screen enabled but the pie won't show up with the normal swipe up from the bottom, nor can I use the stock navigation bar when not in full screen,

Update 10:08pm : the bottom of the screen where the nav bar/ pie control normally is located Is just tripping, and the bottom of the keyboard it randomly inputs. ,

Had the same thing happening on my mothers N4. Been searching and it seems to be a hardware issue. Something got screwed up over time in the digitizer on a lot of N4's lately, and switching ROMs, wiping and so on doesn't work.
Sorry, bro.
HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?

All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k

want to share your wallpaper pl0x?
No problem

any videos on you using it? Im interested...
YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

Very nice man...your wallpaper is taking many threads by storm now too...
Slimkat also has navring features for those who don't like docks.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my ring.I've got shortcuts set up in the QS, combined with the pulldown button in navbar means they appear right above where your finger already is.
