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?

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.
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.

Hello,
I've tried to find how to make the status and navigation bar transparent with gravity box on Nexus 5 but every post on the Internet shows something like "transparency management" in Gravity box but this option seems to be non-existent.
Any ideas?

Status bar and Nav bar transparency is determined by the app. Most launchers have it implemented and a small number of other apps do. There's an Xposed module to force transparency on apps but it's buggy as apps that weren't designed with transparent bars in mind would have elements drawn behind the bars rather than leaving it as space for them.

The term "transparency management" was removed after KK I think.
Go to GravityBox -> Display tweaks -> Enable Translucent decor at the bottom. Reboot.

I believe what that does is always force transparent status and nav bars on the Recent Apps screen (and maybe elsewhere, I never noticed it anywhere else). In AOSP (also stock ROM), if you're in an app that doesn't support transparent status/nav bars then tap on recent apps, it won't fade away the bars to transparency. Vice versa, if you're in an app that supports it (most common being launcher), tapping on recent apps will keep the bars transparent.
Most custom ROMs have worked around it so going to recent apps will ALWAYS fade the bars to transparency regardless if the app you were in had them transparent or not. That option in GravityBox does the same thing.
Try disabling that option in GravityBox and you'll see.

Actually, not for mine. When the option is enabled, recent apps screen displays black bars even if the app supports transparency weirdly enough. I never used the transparency option in gravitybox in the first place, so I'm more than happy to stick with the system default.
Can anyone suggest any app like viper nav bar in HTC m8 which permanently hides the nav baar, makes the screen full screen and bring it up as an overlay whenever we swipe
