Why buttons are still coming in Pie ?? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
I just upgrade my A2 to Pie and it's still showing me the 3 NAV buttons instead of the pill.
There is still no way to apply icon packs.
I don't see much change really.
What should I be expecting ...??
Boring really.

[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 good navbar apps?

Since the nav soft keys dont have a light behind them on the 8.0 for whatever reason, im trying to find a navbar app. Only problem is that all the ones i have tried dont adjust the screen so things are hidden behind the navbar. Is there any way around that?

I mucked about with the same things, tried gestures as well. Finally gave up and learned to feel for the home button as a guide and slide left or right from it... Been good since. May not be what you want but less hassle.

Huawei Nova 3i

Hello,
Just bought new Nova 3i, 128 Storage 4 gb ram.
I don't like the soft vibrate, When a call is coming it vibrates softly. I missed or late responding many messages.
The notch is annoying
The notifications are not appearing on the top bar like Marsmellow version is.
Is there any tricks to solve above concerns?
Or can I downgrade to lower OS or UI?
Regards,

i know this is late reply.
to enable the notification icons simple go to Settings>Apps & Notifications>Notification Method>Icons or Numbers
Numbers - sums up the total number of notification (this is better since you will know how many notifications are, since in Icons there will be no enough space for the other icons)
Icons - shows the icon of the app that has notification
cant downgrade since android 8.1 is the default OS at launch.

No it is not late
I am a ols fashion individual, prefer to have icons as notification. Number works well I need to used to it.
Is it because of the notch?
Soft Vibration issue, it can't be adjusted ya? I need stronger vinrarion. Because it is hardware, i tried to install vibration apps, but the it still very soft.
So that's why i was asking downgrade possibility.
Or may be there is a launcher or UI i can use? (htc sense, miui,....)
Here is my notif bar
It is only fit woth 4 icons. While I have plenty notification

icons without frame for pie on galaxy s9 s9+ note 9

anybody knows how to bring back icons without frame feature for pie on galaxy s9,s9+ or note 9 without launcher? These circle icons with white background are driving me crazy

Totally agree. What's even worse is if you have CONTACTS icons on your home screen (e.g. using contact shortcut widget). They all get a white frame, when the contact pictures were already round framed. The contact faces now get shrunk to a minimum, and they look small, sad and terrible in the frame.
**** What were they thinking? ****
The option to remove the frame has been dropped from the UI. The only option is to load a custom icons set from Themes... I did that and it sort of fixes the issue. Only problem then is I don't really like any of the icons set I've seen in half hour (can't spend more time on this), and after switching icons I now see Icon badges don't show when they should.
Pretty mad altogether. Why, oh why must Samsung always do something to spoil an otherwise very good update?
Also (off topic, but I need screaming about this...) - In my entirely personal opinion, the new PIE icons are ***** to begin with. They have nothing to do with the style of the device and are just goofy. I wasn't a particular fan of the OREO icons, but, in the end, they were WAY better for this device than the new ones.

I don't know precisely what you're talking about, but maybe check for One Hand Operation + or Lateral Screen on Galaxy/Play Store. I guess HorizonOne is a custom ROM on your s8 ? or maybe you're on the wrong forum...
Anyway I hope this will help
