There must be another way??
I would like to get rid of it too.
But I also dislike the date/weather-widget on top of the homepage. How can I disable this one!?!?

You can use lawnchair launcher.
You can install "lawnchair launcher" from Google Play Store. You must also install lawnfeed apk with this launcher. You can download lawnfeed apk from apkmirror website. Use any icon pack with this launcher you like. I prefer cleanandroid icon pack.

You need to disable Google app from settings. You can rid only the weather display though. Date still is displayed.

I stopped the Google app, and the weather display is gone now.
Ok. But now I still do not want to see the other items: date and Google search bar.
(Why is this designed in Android 9?)
Edit: Mission impossible. A launcher (Nova) solves these problems.

this may be because of any 3rd party launcher you installed.. or any 3rd party screen lock... try uninstalling them or tweeking their settings to disable the lockscreen , If u cant still find any 3rd party launcher or lock, let us know what all apps hav u installed so that we may help you in a better way.
I have the Nova Launcher installed and only few 3rd party apps. Here the screenshots from my installed apps. I am sure there is no 3rd party lockscreen.

Well, just for fun I looked up your first app (it just looked so untrustworthy) in your screenshot. Bang. "Erhalte aktuelle Angebote auf deinem Lockscreen...“ There you have it.
By the way, just read some comments on play store. There are lots of 1-star ratings.

The abalo app isn't it. It shows only commercial on the lockscreen, but it isn't a lockscreen. I have it on my nexus 4 installed too, but there comes only the standard android lockscreen. Therefore I'm sure it not caused the problem.
Doppelhelix I see u have right. There is the same lockscreen on the screenshots. You can disable the lockscreen in the preferences from abalo. I forgot it .

Remove search bar in app drawer/revert to older app drawer.

At some point today my phone updated and changed my app drawer to some new style. I don't care for the search bar at all, its useless to me completely. Is there any way to remove it, or revert to the older one without rooting?
I also would like to remove the recent apps or whatever that is at the top.
My phone did this after updating Android System Webview. I sure I hope I can revert it back to the OG look.
I don't think it's the Web view. I guess I'm going to have to find another launcher
I've had a system update for a few days now, after webview updated I tried opening the app drawer and it's now different, and I have yet to install the OTA.

Huh..You got vertical app drawer and i didnt..HOW??
I'm guessing you're running the Android 6.0 dev preview? Looks like Google Now on Tap.
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/09/17/google-now-on-tap-apk/
My phone is bone stock, not rooted only ota updates from Google. No dev view anything.
your google app has updated, try going to settings > apps > google app and uninstall updates, should let you revert to an older version.

Question Where have all the "cool" features gone?

I used to have some xiaomi devices in the past. The last one was mi9 pro which I replaced to a oneplus and gave the mi9 to my girlfriend.
One nice feature I remember was a special camera stabilization where you could hold the phone how ever you wanted but the taken pictures were always horizontal. If I remember correctly this feature was some day suddenly removed with any update in miui 11.
Now that I got my gf an new xiaomi device, the Xiaomi 12 Pro I have noticed they even removed the sky filter from their gallery app. The one where you are able to change the sky on a picture to whatever you want.
And furthermore using nova launcher (which I have been using since froyo or gingerbread) together with gesture navigation is a hassle.
What is going on with xiaomi... why is the software getting worse and worse???
That camera feature is indeed gone.
I use Nova Launcher Prime for many years now and when you want gesture navigation use FNG app. That will do the job.

But I didn't find any way to permanently remove the navbar. I can hide it using an ADB command but it does not survive a reboot.
What nav bar do you mean, the dock at the bottom?

Question Widget help

Got my phone debloated yesterday and started adapting it to my preferences.
I was very happy with the look and widget functionality on my P30 Pro and ideally would like to replicate it.
Here is a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am using Nova and an icon pack called 7null, but this is no longer available on the appstore - and can't find it on my phone.
Not a big deal.
The widget showing the time is Zooper which unfortunately is not longer available. I love this widget as it's extremly customisable - I chose to have it connected to my google calender so it always shows the next event. Phone temp not important. Tapping the clock takes me to the alarm, tapping calender opens google calendar.
I tried to transfer the app and downloaded it as APK from the web, but nothing happens when I try to install.
Anyone know if it's possible to install or if there is another widget that has a similar look/funtionality?
The next calender event is number 1 for me. The option on the phone right now just showing the entire calendar month.
thanks!
Reinstalled the Vivo store which enabled me to install the APK - now I just need to figure out how to remove the widget name without losing the app names
try this
go to setting->Home screen,lock screen & wallpaper->home screen settings->icon style,size & name->turn off show icon name
tried that but that removes app names which I need. I just want the widget name gone. Never had widget names displayed on other phones

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to remove the vivo launcher and use nova launcher and make the gestures work? I have installed nova launcher and removed the default vivo launcher but when I do this I lose the gestures... if anyone has the solution I appreciate it...
Thanks to all
You need to disable the second setting as seen on the screenshot

Settings> Safe> more security settings>replace the system launcher
Although I'm pretty sure you don't have to uninstall the stock Vivo launcher. Perhaps you lose gestures if you uninstall it.
Hello, I already did that... but the gestures are lost when disabling the original vivo launcher, and if I leave it installed but use the option to enable another launcher, sometimes it returns to the vivo launcher without my authorization

Could be because the other launcher got killed by the system.
Same here using Smart Launcher. Setting everything to replace the stock launcher & sometimes it sticks, sometimes it doesn't. I guess the system is constantly trying to override certain changes. Without uninstalling then not sure of any workarounds?
