[Q] Any way to auto hide options bar? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that the options bar at the bottom of my Kindle Fire HD takes up quite a bit of space. Is there any way to set it so it automatically hides, like it does with certain applications?
I've done a few searches and can't find anything on the issue.

[Q] removing the google search bar from launcher

How to remove the google search bar from launcher ?
You can't from the stock one. Maybe try using a different launcher.

Apex Launcher and Nova launcher are both great replacements that allow you to remove it. remember that you can't use the quick view and circles widgets when using a non-stock launcher though

I was able to get rid of it. But you cannot use that space although it's removed.
Sent from my phone.
go into your apps. settings then apps then click on all, click on google search and then click disable. It will remove the bar from the stock launcher, and the reason why you cant use that space if you drag and drop a icon to your homescreen youll see the outline of your homescreen the amount of space they give you to use and your unable to use that space with search bar gone. thats the reason i use apex launcher.

[Q] I can't seem to switch from Kindle default launcher to anything else?

I just bought a Kindle Fire HD for my husband. I have rooted it and would like to change launchers. I HATE the carousel! I've sideloaded and installed Go Launcher ex and ADW Launcher Ex but neither seem to be permanent. Go launcher crashes and ADW is fine EXCEPT when touching the Home button then it reverts back to the kindle launcher. I REALLY don't like the Kindle home screen and would like a permanent fix. Any ideas and help would be appreciated
Try putting the apk if the launcher into the system / app folder.

Thanks so much! You have no idea how relieved I am!:good: :laugh:
Just an update, upon reboot my kindle lost the go launcher option once again but at least is not bricked anymore. I will wait for a permanent fix so I can use Go Launcher without it switching back when I hit the home button. thanks again
Just use an app like titanium backup or rom toolbox and find go launcher or adw launcher in the app list. There will be a setting to convert the app to a system app. You might need to long press on the app title to find the setting.
After it is converted to a system app, reboot. Then press the home button, you should be prompted to select a launcher in which you can set a default.

[Question] Auto Hide the Nav Bar

Is there a mod to where you can hide the default Nav Bar on the KF HD 7"? It is totally annoying and I can not seem to get it to even autohide with any of the launchers I have tried.
It can be done w adw ex launcher. Not sure about adw free but you could check

Use this tutorial - VERY easy to do - I used root explorer, did it right on the kindle took all of 2 minutes(rebooting being the longest part of it). Just make sure you have the button replacement app installed first.

Try another launcher like Go Launcher,Next Launcher,Line Launcher...In these Launcher in Preferences you find a option like "Transparent Status bar & Nevigation bar".

Gesture navigation and third party launchers

On my Pixel 5 the behaviour with third party launchers (tried Nova and Microsoft) is terrible. If I swipe up to go home then often the launcher has to seemingly redraw/refresh before I can do anything. If I use three button nav there is no issue. It's annoying as I hate being stuck with the search bar and 'at a glance' weather in the standard launcher, but much prefer gesture nav.
Is this a common thing or anyone got any ideas to fix?

You are welcome to try this if all you want is "at a glance weather" and search bar gone on standard launcher. However, you cannot use the space vacated by the weather. This is as high as you can go.
If you root your device, I'd suggest using the 3 button navigation, then remove it using Tusladiver's mod and then using FNG navigation, its customizable and a lot better then google's implementation I think.
Using Nova launcher, I noticed if I chose another animation, under "Look and feel", then "app animation" the blank refresh went away. I just chose zoom.
EDIT: It started again. But, not as much

Clock Mods - Remove Navbar or Battery etc. Mods
I don't have this phone but I thought I'd try a couple of clock options if someone is interested in trying them. Root required. Flash in magisk manager. Most of these are SystemUI mods and might not be compatible with any other SystemUI Mods...

I love microsoft launcher. I had the same issue with the redraw. I set it to only a single row on the nav bar and it seems to have to figure it. It's almost like the launcher was fighting with the OS for swipe up control.
