Paranoid Android 4.4.1 no pie controls - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed the new PA but I'm not able to use pie at all. I've set it in immersive mode and I've tried swiping the all sides but the pie isn't showing up. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

Move your finger up gently from bottom of screen when in immersive mode. Hold it there to see 3 pie buttons.

I've tried that, the status bar just pops out from the top and the back,home and recent buttons from the bottom. What else could be the issue?

Disable immersive mode, then go to settings>backup & reset>reset preferences (under personalization). Enable immersive mode again and you should see the popup asking if you want to enable pie. See if it works.

Menu Disappearing in CM7

Is anyone else having an issue with CM7 where the right combination of gestures or touches while cause the menu bar to disappear? I have no idea how to reproduce it, or how to recover from it (short of a reboot) but it's happened at least 4 times i as many weeks.
Just curious if something is corrupt with my install or if it's a common issue.
If the bar is just invisible (the buttons still work, but there are no graphics), just rotate the screen and they should come back.
If you've touched the double-chevron button and the status bar went away, an app has requested fullscreen mode and the chevrons grant the request. Hit "home" to get somewhere that isn't fullscreen. You can pick an "un-hide" button and do other similar things in Settings/Tablet Tweaks, look for "Disable Fullscreen" and "Choose unhide button".
If neither of the above holds, your statusbar has crashed. There's an app that's supposed to bring it back, but that never worked properly for me. I have to reboot.
This hasn't happened to me in recent nightlies, but I'm not positive that the problem is really gone yet.

I've had the menu bar disappear while certain apps were open, preventing me from accessing the app menu and had to use the 'n' button to get out. To get around this I am using Button Savior.

That's my situation. The status bar / buttons disappear, so I hit the physical home button (the N as in Nook button), but the bar is still gone. This was happening on 7.0.3... i just installed 7.1 RC1 and haven't had it happen yet... we'll see.

Go to Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Tablet Tweaks, and check to see that you have the "Disable fullscreen" option checked. That prevents apps from overriding the status bar visibility. Additionally, you can setup an "unhide" button in case you accidentally hit the chevron or otherwise lose the Tablet Tweaks status bar.

Because you say "menu bar" and later on say you press the N button and they are still missing I believe you are talking about the ADW menu buttons (the launcher and apps buttons). If that is what you are referrinng to then you should go into ADW settings and uncheck the hidden taskbar option. By default it is checked.
can reproduce it on my EVO
I found out how to make the menu disappear, but cannot make it reappear.
I have an EVO 4G (original supersonic) and I am able to make the bottom home menu disappear using a downward swipe. I've done this accidentally quite a few times. (I'm referring to the Phone/Square/World Icons that launch the primary apps)
However, I do not know how to make it come back. I have been able to swipe randomly and get it to reappear, but I do not know what combination actually causes this.
The only way I know how to bring it back for sure, is a reboot. I wish I knew what that swipe combination was to restore the menu

By "Menu Bar", do you mean the the Dock where you can access the App Drawer?
If this is it, then you just have to swipe it up. But to just to warn you, it is "VERY HARD" to get the right swipe for it to show again. Trust me, I tried. Best solution would be to disable the "HIDE" Capability of the Dockbar by going into Settings>ADWLauncher>UI Settings Go down to Hidden Dockbar and disable Dockbar.

thanks thewaywardgeek013, that worked perfectly. It's almost impossible to find the right settings.

[Q] PACman multi-user?

Has anyone gotten the multi-user working correctly? I'm able to add additional users, but I can't switch between them -- the "faces" don't show up on the lockscreen.
I checked around the lockscreen settings, but I couldn't see anything obvious to enable this function. Any ideas?

Hiding the home button on the LG G6

You were able to hide the home touch button at the bottom in apps on previous versions but not this one...plz tell me there is a way or if the option changed...the only reason I changed to this phone is because I thought I could hide the home touch button...
the screen looks like a damn iphone now...so small, I'm coming from a note 5 and this looks horrible.
I had a v20 but returned it and got this instead, now I regret it.
You can install Nova Launcher. There you can hide everything, except the navigation keys.

well if you mean by the navigation keys these: ▲ ◼ ⏺ buttons at the bottom then it defeats the purpose if it cant hide them with nova
Like I said in other versions of LG you could hide these in the apps you want, you would just scroll up from the bottom of the screen to have them show up.
Unless what you meant is that it doesnt hide them once only its on the home screen.

The navigation keys do not have an option to be hidden with certain apps like you could do with other phones. Not sure why they removed that functionality, maybe it will be put back in with future updates.

Much of the time that they aren't hidden, it's because the app you're using is in 16:9 mode. Go into the adaptive display settings and switch it to 18:9.

No, no matter what ratio mode I use, the navigation touch buttons cannot be hidden unless you go full screen on youtube or the camera, any other app you use the navigation is always there, besides, its a known option that existed before in the home touch button option menu but now its removed in the LG G6.

what hes talkin about doesnt exist on the lg g6... The only menu or what he probably meant to say is under display options then app scalling, it does not hide the navigation buttons.
Would it be possible to hide them through ADB?
Theres no longer an option to hide home touch buttons per app..
You can do this with adb and chose wich app you want to hide the navigation buttons for, i was missing this on my s8 cause i had a g5 before. Look for immersive mode in the s8 section you should find it
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.sfr.android.mobiletv,com.sfr.android.moncompte,com.instagram.android,com.google.android.youtube,com.nbaimd.gametime.nba2011
Just an exemple; but full immersive mode remove the nav buttons AND the notification bar, but you can replace full immersive with something else to hide the nav bar only.

Use this method. It works for my LG G6.

Also if you want to do for multiple apps, must run in single line...

This was in the Nexus 6P forum a while ago.
You need to have ADB on your computer:
Hide Status Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Hide Navigation Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
Hide Both Bars type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
Back to normal/default state:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
is this working on H870DS ?

floating pop-ups

hi. anyone found out how to disable floating pop-ups? i see the option to disable it, but then you'd also disable the vibrate/sound.
is there a method to disable only the floating pop-up?
What are you referring to?

no. when a text comes in, it pops up at the top of the screen. thats the thing i want to get rid off, but cant seem to unless you turn off sound/vibrate as well.
Did you try settings>apps> then select the app that you want to disable floating popup > scroll all the way down to the bottom and select apps that can appear on top and then switch this option off.
I did this for esexplorer which kept showing floating add icons

Force Landscape Mode

Is the any way to force landscape viewing of Instagram on this device? IE when I open the app, it always defaults to portrait!

Try smart rotate. This app is able to rotate any app including the home screen.
I suggest to tick the following in settings.
Show notification shade.
Show advanced modes
On power - Activate
Force orientation.
Then pull down the notification shade to reveal the shortcuts and ensure that the lock symbol and the orientation symbol far right are both highlighted.
This should make any app rotate with the screen.

Pretty sure that you can just put your tablet on sideways and then swipe down and you just press the rotate mode to lock...

Nope, that doesn't work.
The app advised above does thou.
This is an excellent app - Just installed it on my Tab S6, running Pie and it has managed to rotate all the apps I've so far thrown at it (Reddit, Xbox, Gamepass, eBay) thanks @ashyx
