[Q] power bar / notification bar

Hi, I finally got around to dumping wm6.5 and installing android CM7_HoneyComB_V57 on my HD2; Its BRILLIANT should have done it ages ago! The only thing I have found is the power settings on the notification bar don’t have a data toggle. I’ve solved my problem for now by using a 'power bar' widget but id like to know if there is a way to get a data button on the original power settings OR if not is there a way to just remove that power bar totally. It seems daft to have both.

In CM7 you can customise what toggles show up, the order, and more. In the settings application, click on the CM tab the navigate to statusbar tweaks and look for power menu toggles there are a whole bunch of options to customize to your liking.

nice work mate

[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 ^^

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.

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 bar pull-down no longer works

Hey guys. So yesterday all of a sudden I just couldn't pull down the notification bar anymore. After factory resetting my phone it still didn't work so I assume the digitizer is broken.
Now I don't really have money to replace it and I don't want to break even more of my phone so I'm looking for an alternative way to pull down the notification bar which should be working system-wide (maybe through a softkey press or gesture?)
I'm running the latest AOSPA 4.6 Beta 2 if that's of any relevance.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me as it's really annoying to not being able to pull the notifications down.

first, try flashing factory images then test.. if it still doesn't work, its the digitizer.
use a launcher that has a shortcut to pulldown the statusbar, or add a button on the navbar to do it (xposed and some ROMs like slimkat can do that)

I've already tried that, doesn't seem to work for me. The notification bar can be pulled down when in landscape mode. However if the navigation bar is at the notification bars usual spot, it won't work either. So I'm pretty sure it's the digitizer.
I need a system-wide solution so the launcher isn't an option as it would only work on the homescreen. I already looked into xposed modules but I can't seem to find one which allows me to set a button for notification pull-downs.

GravityBox module has navbar customization and if i remember right it has a button (or a tap and hold action) that pulls it down. check that module.

Thanks a lot! That did the trick. I was using Xblast previously and it didn't have such an option. Works just fine in GravityBox! It'll take a while to get used to it but you just made my day.

Looking for a highly customizable 5.1 rom

Currently I have AOKP 4.4.4 on my phone and it has so many options (see google images search for examples) in its "Rom control" menu. But this rom has started draining battery so I need to get another ROM.
I have tried Cyogenmod 12.1 and Omni ROM, both based on Android 5.1 and they are both pretty similar and they have very little customization options for status bar and navigation buttons and its pretty sad. Its 2015. All roms should have options like displaying the Day of the week in the status bar, letting me completely customize the navigation buttons and so on.
The options I need are:
- customizable menu buttons such as home, power, back button. I want to be able to change the order, add buttons, even use graphics as buttons so I can change the look of the button. Assign a button to anything whether its opening an App or turning off the screen.
- Customizable status bar. I want to have Date, Day of week, time, Battery percent (number) and also battery icon
So can anyone suggest any ROMS? I can use Multi-Rom which lets me quickly try other roms so I can try them all easily.

I tried this which is the 'unofficial' Omni rom 5.1.
I did try 4.4.4 Omni which is the latest official.
My main question is: I am looking for a highly customizable 5.1 rom.

Status Bar Disappearing - how to restore (temporarily)

On global version:
I know this is a known issue, but from playing around it looks like it is triggered by long pressing certain app icons in the home screens.
Holding down the clock widget briefly (until the trash icon appears at the top) will restore the status bar.
For example, if you have the status bar showing, long pressing the settings icon will do nothing, but long pressing Facebook or Instagram will make it go away. Long pressing Youtube does nothing, but long pressing the built in calculator app makes it go away. So the issue is not limited to 3rd party apps.
Hopefully someone smarter than me can apply some logic to this behavior.

?

Nice, I tried with a thrid party weather widget and the bar appears., and dissapear when I hold shazam for example.
Best regards.

I've just been force quitting Nubia launcher when that happens. Fixes it every time.

I asked to Nubia for a solution to this problem like 1 week ago, and they said me nothing about it.
Congrats man, seems you solved a problem! :good:

Regarding the icons when you install a new application, I have noticed that if you change the settings of the grid in the launcher, you find them, then you can remove them and when you add it, it will not tell you that it is already added, in case that it has happened to them

The software is total trash.

Someone with more experience. It is not about being smart. Its about the experience.
Just wanted to give a positivity boost
