hi all
i just used the latest PA and found this awesome pie UI thingy and would loved to use it as a replacement to the nav bar we all know and loved as a change but theres an issue it needs expanded desktop to work but in expanded desktop i can't gain access to the notification panel ...so any help ?
When I use expanded desktop, I would access the notification and quick settings via gestures on my home screen. Gestures are an option a lot of custom launchers have.
Smart Statusbar or NotifierPro.

ppl just NEED to start new threads...they cant take the time to search the forums and read threads that are already made...smh
Now to answer your question.. you are wrong you dont HAVE to have expanded desktop enabled to have PIE, you can enable bare styled PIE adn set nav bar to 0 in hybrid properties and then you will have PIE with a status bar
PS- next time read the paranoid 101 thread that is linked in my sig and dont make new threads...it answers most questions...
Hey,
I have a question about this feature in the Mmuzzy 4.2.1 French Vanilla Rom for the Galaxy Nexus. I know this in the wrong section, but I don't have permission to post since I'm new. But with the extended desktop enabled I am also running the LMT app for the pie menu. However I would like to know if there is any way to enable the notification bar while extended desktop is on? Even if I use gestures to bring up the notification bar it is still blocked from opening, that goes for the quick menu as well. It doesn't have to be visible on screen at all times, but it would be nice to at least open my notification bar by swiping.
Notification bar
Hello.
I use another ROM (cm10.1) with the extended desktop enabled an LMT too.
In order to make available the status/notification bar I use an app called Smart Statusbar that allows to you show/hide the statusbar swiping on the top of the screen.
Hello again
I just see that. On the last nightlie build of cm10, you can enable the extended desktop with/without statusbar.
hmm, maybe I'll switch to cyanogen mod, I just loaded the mmuzzy mod yesterday. I originally was on bugless beast, but since there hasnt been an update in a while I figured I would switch. I usually like to stick to stable vanilla roms, but I could give it a shot
This makes me happy

This just made my phone the best it has ever been! Pie Control with Smart Statusbar and Extended desktop. Priceless...
Hey,
Does anybody knows if it's possible showing android's notification bar while using fullscreen mode?
I found this cool app called full!screen.
It allows you to use fullscreen mode and gives you 2 buttons on the bottom corners with adjustable size and transparency, one of them is HOME and the other is BACK, you can slide them and get more options like RECENT APPS or canceling the fullscreen mode...
The only thing that missing here is the notification bar, its a deal breaker for me and I really want to use this fullscreen feature.
If there are any ideas please feel free to shoot
Thanks

I've tested several things with stock and Nova, but no luck. I was surprised the nova action for expand notifications wouldn't work. This isn't with the app you mentioned, though, it is with AOSPA and JDX, both of which have full screen options built in. The custom ROMs that have this feature built in typically allow you to show the notification bar. You could combine a custom ROM that allows removal of nav keys without removing status bar, then use a launcher like Nova to hide the status bar on the home page.

Thanks it sounds like a great idea, I'll try it :good:
p.s. why hiding the status bar on the home page?
Not sure if this is what you want but Smart Statusbar let's you access the notification bar from full screen apps.
Edit: just downloaded full!screen to try it out and it doesn't seem to work with that app.
full screen and keeps status bar
pie navigator
make sure to set up 'pie' controls before setting full screen and rebooting, or you'll be stuck with no way to navigate

I only mentioned that because I wasn't sure if you wanted the status bar or just wanted access to the notifications. I prefer having the status bar so I can easily see the time, battery, notifications, etc., but many prefer to hide the status bar for aesthetic reasons. With Nova, you can hide the status bar but still swipe down to expand notifications.
Use PA. Then go to hybrid properties, and set the Navigation Bar to 0%. This would make the nav bar disappear and trigger pie but with the status bar still at the top

Finally I used "button savior" app and than removed the softkeys by editing BuildProp file using "BuildProp Editor" adding the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1", Reboot and that does it, no softkeys. Thanks for the advice for removing the softkeys :good:
I also prefer the status bar on... when I hide the status bar (using nova) there's no option pulling it back
Hey all, before I upgraded to KK, I was able to pulldown the notification bar from the lockscreen, even with my passcode enabled. Now, I can't get the notification bar to come down unless I am using swipe to unlock.
I don't remember if I had a specific app that made that happen. I am using Apex Launcher, which is what I always use.
If anyone knows how to get it working, I would appreciate the help.
Edit: Just remembered that it was the notification mod from Xposed.
Hello,
as the title suggests currently you can't use Notification or the linked Quicksettings with SlimPie sensibly when you are in Expanded Desktop (like in camera app by default).
Why this would be an improvement: This would greatly improve this ROM because you could be the whole time in Expanded Desktop without losing any functionality or information. It would make the UI even more clean. This would also greatly improve 1-handed usage.
How it currently is: When you use Notification or Quicksettings with SlimPie triggers the SlimPie is not working till you swipe from top.
Kind Regards,
NetDwarf

Wow, i think this is really an awesome idea.
Maybe also add feature that statusbar is shown automaticly on receiving a non-permanent notification.
