PA Immersive Mode + Notifications - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

why did you make 2 threads?

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

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!

Where is battery percentage??

I can't find the setting in settings. Anyone?

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

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.

No custom toggles in MIUI?

So I am new to MIUI and am stuck using it til my remaining 260 hours til I can unlock it to flash the P preview are over. I use an application that creates toggles for my hue lights and its convenient so I don't need to open the Hue app and wait for it to load every time I want to toggle my lights. I can't seem to find where to add more toggles to the notification drawer in MIUI though. Has this feature been removed or can I just not find it?

Have you checked the "Sort" toggle in quick settings bar (the last one after you expand them by swiping down)?
Custom toggles for apps installed aren't listed
I don't think this is available on MIUI... At least I haven't been able to add any app quick titles either. They love breaking these little things.
Nope, not on MIUI. It wasn't until last year or so you were able to swipe away notifications on the lock screen!

Navigation Bar Color

Hi All,
This is my first time using 1+ and noticed that I can't change the nav bar color. I tried to use the NavBar app on the playstore, but the setting doesn't stick for home screen using Nova. Anyone know how to change it?
Would also like to know. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's light. Hate the inconsistency!
I'd rather just have it be black all the time until they can add fast app switching and swiping up on the right side for recents as options to gestures.
It appears they have made the default navbar colour white, which is incredibly annoying.
Guys, use gestures options! The only missing feature with gestures is the lack of fast switching to the latest recent app, yes...

"Just use the device in a different manner" is not a valid response to "I'd prefer the ability to x".

Fully immersive mode

Hi I normally use bxactions to hide both the status bar and nav keys but it doesn't seem to be compatible yet and looks like Samsung have even stopped use been able to hide the softkeys
Does anyone know another way of having immersive mode I know it can be done with adb but doesn't that just leave us with a constant black bar at the top?
Thanks

Yeah, I tried hiding the status bar with ADB but it doesn't look right in most apps. You can still hide the navigation bar and use gestures, I'm just baffled that you can't hide the status bar in the default Samsung browser anymore. The option is still present on my Note 9 running an older version but on the Note10+ it's gone.

Ya I have the note 9 too and I've just got it set to immersive on the bxactions app but cannot seem to get it sorted on the note 10 I'm too paranoid about screen burn so its normally the first thing I do lol
On the Note 9, you can enable gesture navigation and then turn off the "hints" buttons, giving you a full screen experience. It should work the same way on the Note 10+.

Thanks I've tried that but don't like full gestures I like been able to swipe from the bottom and it brings up the softkeys also I'm after hiding the status bar the same way
You can use this to have an immersive mode toggle. You can choose what it hides. Status bar and nav bar or 1 or the other
