So I'm a recent covert to PA, using immersive mode with PIE and loving it! My only gripe though is without the status bar, there's no quick way to get to any new notifications without swiping down once to show the status bar, and then again to show the notification shade.
On the lock screen i tried using DashClock in expanded mode so i can just click on the notification from there, but i find that annoying because then you have to hold the lock icon to unlock the screen? How do you guys do it?

You swipe up the lock icon to minimize an expanded Widget (You expand it by swiping down).

And that works fine, I guess I was looking for a one touch solution. In reality, pulling down the shade and choosing the notification was two touches, and so is pulling down to expand, and then choosing the notification is two as well, so that's not bad, but still trying to find a solution from the home screen or other apps.

You can use DashClock Widget on the home screen too?
Why don't you just use immersive mode with the status bar visible? Its a setting behind the quick toggle for immersive mode. Set it to Nav Bar only.

Are you talking about having the battery percentage with the icon on the status bar? Stock Android (and in this case mostly stock) doesn't have that option. You can use what I use, power toggles, to have it pinned on the left side of the status bar. Not the greatest set up but for now it's all we got. Another reason why I really hope we see an unlocked boot loader so we can get some roms that will have this feature. :good:
Or you can two finger swipe down on the notification bar and it will show your percentage

Yes, that's what I was talking about... I added power toggles and put up top. Thanks
Can someone who is rooted confirm if smart status bar app ( pro / free ) version works ?
I use this everyday to get screen back on my N4 hoping the launcher has not screwed this up
Hey, I just looked into the app and if I understand correctly, it reveals the status bar in full screen apps.
KitKat has this feature built in. Swipe from the top down to reveal the status bar at and time

Yeah almost, however when combined with full screen mode the status bar auto hides when not in use and pings down and shows its self until you deal with the notification.
It needed root under 4.3 to work in order to redraw the status bar, its not simply hiding the bar constantly not sure how 4.4 deals with it as I have poor WiFi and can't download a build for my n4/7 in any less than 8 hours.
I have Gravitybox and Xperia Flip Settings installed, which is great, but if I already have the notification bar pulled down I can't change between the notifications and the toggles.
So basically I'd like to know if I can have this button on Xperia L: http://imgur.com/330kKaT
It doesn't have to be this button, but something that makes it possible to change between the toggles and notifications just like what that button would do.
Yeah the Last option in statusbar >Quick seeting, u can chose side (left or rigth) to pull noti bar or the Quick seetings.

Maybe you can try pulling down from left side or right side to get the toggles!!

I have that option enabled, but I often forgot that I wanted to pull down the quick toggles, and when I've already pulled down the notifications I can't change it to the toggles, so I have to swipe the notifitacions back and pull down again from the right side of the screen.
It's not really a time-consuming task, but it's kinda annoying since it happens to me so often.

For that you can use Antek quick settings it will allow you to save a few seconds as u can pull quick settings over the notification!!
So I'm a recent covert to PA, using immersive mode with PIE and loving it! My only gripe though is without the status bar, there's no quick way to get to any new notifications without swiping down once to show the status bar, and then again to show the notification shade.

Having admittedly not used PA in a long time, I can offer this advice..
IF the PIE buttons in PA are customizable, add one for notifications and one for quick settings. I'm on SlimKat, and that's what I did for my PIE set up when I enable it. No swipe required!
Find a rom that has halo... And pie.. I use xj paradroid.. Immersive mode with halo and pie works amazingly well

Halo will give you your notifications in a chathead like feature
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
OK those are two great options! I know the official pa doesn't have halo, so I'll see if I can customize PIE and if not, try a new rom from there!

Hey all,
I was wondering if it's possible to reassign single-tap Home button in the navigation bar, as I don't use/need any launcher and would like it to expand status bar instead. Tried Gravity Box (is the only Xposed related app that I know can change Nav bar buttons) and does not permit changing Home button function. I'm currently using Dirty Unicorns, which does neither allow changing the button's function.
Thanks in advanced.

SlimKat allows it.
Yup, slimkat does. And expanding status is a beautiful thing when you don't have to reach to the top of your screen.

Offtopic but that is a hilariously awesome wallpaper. Mind telling where you found it or posting a dropbox link?
