Expand notification bar not working - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm so frustrated right now. After installing the lolliflop upgrade, it seems as if there's no app that is able to pull down the notification bar anymore. Any hint what I can do now? I rely very heavily on this feature and absolutely can't do without it.
Thanks for your help

in nova launcher it was working fine on kitkat, now it isn't working.

I'm back on KitKat again. Too many little deficits which make a big difference in the end. Didn't like the design of the Lolliflop UI anyway btw.

[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

Any Status Bar expander working on Lollipop?

Really miss being able to click my shortcut (app: status bar expander) or indeed swiping on my home screen (nova) to pull down the Status Bar
Since Lollipop upgrade neither works any more
Gave me easy one hand use ...now I have to fumble around in order to reach the top of the screen to pull it down
Any pointers?
Thanks!
Working method (tested today) is to use the BETA Nova Launcher app. In this version the swipe down gesture is OK.
Try: novalauncher.com/beta/
One of the many reasons for downgrading from Lolliflop to KitKat again. This sucks big time indeed!
Just found out that MyHomeButton actually works. Unfortunately not the standalone app by the same developer.
All other developers don't seem to be in a hurry to update their apps. They blame it on Samsung because of changing the shortcuts.
If this is as important to you as it is to me, it would be helpful to contact the developers. They need to know that there is a problem to be solved as soon as possible.
I have provided feedback to both Nova and Status Bar Expander
Nothing yet...
So let's hope for the best! ?
Nova just released an update which fixes this -I can swipe down from any home screen to unfurl the Notifications ...no more straining to reach up there
Yep, some apps are catching up at the moment, but still: no stand alone app!

[Q] How to REMOVE STOCK NOTIFICATION PANEL?

The samsung stock notification panel is huge, ugly, obtuse, and doesn't even have many of the toggle options I prefer. For instance flashlight isn't even an option. There are better 3rd party notificaction panels.
Can someone please advise me on how to remove this thing (without rooting)?
Is there an app that can do it?
This is my first post. Looking forward to positive interaction. Hopefully a successful solution too! Lol

Any good news? I'm also interested in removing the notification panel.
No way to remove or change it without root, however, I believe you can add a second one using one of these apps.
Settings Extended, Power Toggles, and Notification Toggle from the play store. Worth a try if it floats your boat.

I've installed "notification toggle" a few days ago and it pleases me a lot. That's the reason I want to dump the stock notification feature.

You know, I think I misunderstood and thought you just wanted to remove some of the toggles or change / add some. I've never seen it completely removed. Doesn't mean it's not possible, but I've never seen it.
You should be able to request a mod and ask somebody to add in whatever toggles it is you want (flashlight, etc.) that aren't normally there. I'm sure one of the modders around would be happy to help you out and do a flashable zip to alter it to your liking. You could also just use an Xposed module to do it.
Check out this page: http://www.xda-developers.com/touchwizs-current-and-upcoming-theming-settings/ Maybe that will lead you in the right direction.
Heh-heh, big thanks @bbeelzebub! I've installed Xposed Framework v2.6.1 (it's working flawlessly) and now I'm looking for the right module. I've tried GravityBox (v3.5.9) but unfortunately it doesn't have the option to customize the notification panel. I'll keep searchin'...
Without rooting, it's not possible. With root, it would be (relatively) simple.

Possibly. What exactly is it you're wanting to do? Remove the quicksettings panel?
I want to remove the stock notification panel (android v4.1.2) or, if it's possible, to customize it (add/remove toggles).

Questions around USB and notifications... Only Xposed experts allowed ;)

Good morning, guys! Rainy day in London, as usual! I´ve almost got used to the sun, but good weather doesn´t last here!
I have some issues with the current ROM I have... It´s great , but there are some things that doesn´t allow her to reach the PERFECTION. I was wondering if any of you know how to fix these things, because I´m getting crazy.
I´m rooted and with Xposed working flawlessly
How can I make volume sliders darker?
How can I avoid the phone to turn on the screen when plugged/unplugged?
How can I disable the USB options from the notification bar when connected?
How can I avoid the icon of fast charge appearing in my notification? (the icon is not the notification itself that I don't mind)
Are they easy questions? No... But I was hoping that any of you have experience in customizing your device as I do
Could you please give me a hand? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

I have no idea about the others but the volume sliders can be made darker very easily. Just install Goodlock, once installed go to routines and from there you can change the color of the entire system UI, including the volume sliders.

I sorted all the notification things out with the Xposed module http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.smartmadsoft.xposed.aio
About the slider, I´ve no idea of how to do it... But I´m fine with having all the USB stuff solved

Since Xposed / GB is not yet available....

Without Gravity Box how to get a Battery Bar (I know there are battery bar apps, but none I've found yet gets rid of the stock battery status bar icon and that's just redundant) ,
left handed Navbar when in landscape
and expanded power menu?
The rest of the tweaks I can probably live without, but those I use every day.
Battery bar: I don't know about the apps you speak of. You can get rid of the stock icon though. Enable system UI tuner on the phone, then use that to remove the stock icon.
Left side landscape navigation bar: just rotate the phone the other direction.
advanced power menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noxx.apm&hl=en&rdid=com.noxx.apm

I tested this battery bar app and it works nicely: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.etechtour.batterybar&hl=en
Also this is a good app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=en
I've been using the power bar ever since I looked it up. I am really enjoying it.
Wahoo! Official Xposed is available for Nougat!
Just in time, for me.
Gravity Box, too!
