Hey,
I was looking around but I can't find an answer anywhere, is there a way to remove the Google search bar from the home screen of the middle a2 ? I usually search true chrome directly or duck duck go and don't like this search bar, is there a way to clean up my screen?
You'll need a custom Launcher, try ruthless pixel Launcher from XDA store
No other way without launchers?

Disable Google search bar where? on the recent apps menu or home screen?
Home Screen: Change launcher
Recent apps: use a custom rom that lets you disable it (e.g. Chroma)

No
Action 3 launcher or Nova launcher will do it, there is a setting in Action 3 that if you want to keep Google Now screen you can to that.....
Hi Guys,
Just installed the Google Pixel Launcher to get more Google and less EUI feeling.
Found it @ http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3359438-android-apk-download/

How/where to enable it in eui?

Settings -> apps -> at the end of the window "default apps" -> launcher and select the default launcher
Just an FYI -
There are quite a few launchers you can try to see which one works best for you. Here's a couple other ones I've tried:
Nova Launcher
Action Launcher
Some of them have some nice/extra features with folders and theme settings (some parts required paid app). I'm currently running the HTC launcher (had to install several APKs). Lacks some of the newer features but looks better than EMUI.
Thanx for the info. I have one problem with this launcher the Google search bar doesn't work. Were you able to het that working?

Need to have Google app installed
For anyone that's having crash when choosing wallpaper, you just have to install Google's wallpaper app. It works without the pixel launcher too and has some beautiful wallpapers!

Hi
Hi i installed this launcher but i have a problem , i dont want to see the LeApps and other chinesee apps is there a way to hide them with another appplication like Nova launcher has the Hide Apps ? Thank you
I have found the Pixel launcher to be buggy. I'm all in on Nova Launcher. Custom icons, layout, tweaks, etc.
I really love this laucher. No problems whatsoever. Clean and simple.
If you want to use Google cards (swiping right from homescreen) install it as system app.

I have Google app installed and swiping right to Google Now does not work. Works fine in the regular Google launcher but not the Pixel launcher. Any other things that need to be done?

I haven't done anything else, just installed it as system app. If it is not system app, then cards will not work.

install the wallpaper app from google
So I have managed to install SR4 and get Xposed/Gravity Box going. I have installed the AndroidN-ify Module and get Google Assistant going and have installed Pixel Launcher. Only problem is that the long press on icons does not pop up the menus. Now is this something that is only part of N or is it part of the Launcher? Also Google Now Cards do not pop up when I swipe home screen.
Thanks for any help.

I believe it's system integration, nova however have it included as you can see in my screenshot. Did you download the apk or flash it? I found flashing the launcher gave me the swipe to Google.
Forgot

I installed all. 7.1.1
Hmm maybe try and flash it. Dilemma is I like both the swipe and the long press. So it would seem that I have a choice to make. Oh and how do you enable the long press function in Nova?
I am having trouble getting Google Assistant unlock the screen but if screen is on it works fine.
It's the nova beta
This is my finished setup pixel my way haha.

Just like official n not all apps support it yet. XDA labs recently updated to support it. Even the usual Google apps still haven't implemented it

OK so you and @ram4ufriends are confusing me.
Yes I have Nova Beta, Nova Prime as well and XDA Labs. But when I press on icons do not get mini menus.

How did you guys get the new google pixel persistent search bar uptop on nova launcher? I thought that was a pixel launcher exclusive? Also, if you have the widget, can you change it to display weather rather than just the date like on the pixel?

Is there a way to get rid of the search bar without having to use a launcher?

Not really, but why not use any launchers? Since, you're already on one anyway..Nova would be able to replicate Pixel Setup easily if that is your thing.
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.
