Google search bar - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to remove the Google search bar from every screen?

Install another Launcher like Nova Launcher.

If you are rooted you can use an xposed module

[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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I was able to get rid of it. But you cannot use that space although it's removed.

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.

[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.

Can you hide apps?

Hey all, quick pre purchase question. Can you hide apps on the nexus 6? I don't care if you need an xposed mod or not, but I hate app clutter and wanted to know if you can hide them in your app drawer.

The stock Google Launcher does not have this feature. You'd have to download a 3rd party launcher to do this. Xposed will not currently work either as it doesn't support ART.
What carlz28 said. Most third party launchers have this feature, look into Apex, Nova. I recommend using Nova Launcher.
It depends on if you want to just hide it or disable it. If you disable an app, it disappears from the tray. I've done it with several default google apps that I never use.

Why no icon badges?

Why lollipop doesn't show badges on app icons so we can see missing notifications?
Is there a way to enable them in stock launcher? I think the only way is using nova launcher, right?

Nova launcher has them
It isn't a feature with stock launcher. Use Nova or apex or any other third party launcher with this feature.
I'm sure when xposed comes to lollipop, it may become a feature in xposed gel settings.

Question about Google bar

As you can see from my screen shot I'm using Nova launcher with the honeycomb google search icon. My question is can I get the file, maybe the apk for the honeycomb icon? So I don't have to use the Nova launcher
