Google search bar keeps coming back after disabling (Euphoria ROM)

I have the latest version of Euphoria v1.1 ROM installed on my nexus 6, on the top of my home screen there's the persistent Google search bar, so I just long tap the home screen>settings>disable show search bar. When I return back to the home screen the Google search bar on top is no longer there. Problem is it keeps coming back sometime after 5 - 10 minutes even though it's disabled in settings and when it reappears it's partially loaded (not showing the full widget of the google search bar). So I have to long tap the home screen again>settings>enable the search bar and disable it again for it to be removed. Why is this happening and how can I stop the persistent google search bar from returning to my home screen? I still use the google search app so I don't want to permanently disable/uninstall it.
I did the following so far:
- uninstalled the stock google app, rebooted my phone and downloaded the latest version from app store but still having the same issue.
- I also tried this on another nexus 6 phone running the same Euphoria v1.1 ROM and it has the same issue.
- After disabling the persistent search bar I manually added the Google search bar widget to the home screen, but again 5-10 minutes later the disabled search bar still reappears on the top screen partially loaded.

I was able to resolve this issue using a working around, I did not want to install a 3rd party launcher and ended up coming across this fix through Xposed Installer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
- I downloaded and copied the following files to my phone XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk & xposed-v74-sdk22-arm.zip
- After installing Xposed I went to the play store and installed Xposed GEL Settings (activate module in Xposed Installer and then I rebooted phone)
- I long tapped the home screen>settings>disabled show search bar
- I opened the Xposed GEL Settings app>menu>google search bar>enable hide option and rebooted phone
- After phone rebooted the persistent google search bar was no longer on top of my screen and never reappeared

Home / Recent Apps / Notification Drawer stopped working

So today, after loading an app, my Nokia 8 decided to reboot itself. After rebooting, a few things ceased to function.
The Home button no longer worked. The recent apps button stopped working, I can pull down the notification bar however, the settings button and extending the notification bar to show notifications no longer functioned.
On top of this, Google Play stopped functioning with regards to installing software and you will notice that you cannot access the developer options anymore (as well as all your personal settings being reset!)
Was at a complete loss at what to do... I managed to install the Nova Launcher from an apk file from there accessed the short cuts to the Setting Wizard and re-ran it.
You can re-run the setting with the same email address and as soon as it's finished, everything should be working back to normal. You may need to reset a few preferences (such as keyboards etc / glance screen etc) but at least all the buttons work again.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
And voila. Back to normal afterwards!
Note: You don't need to use Nova Launcher as your default launcher. You can even uninstall it if you want.

Works!
Thank you, this totally worked!
I think Skype crashing and crashing the phone caused this for me. It's getting an uninstall as a special thank you.
Cheers,
Peter

Please help! I don't see any option for setup wizard!

Default browser in full screen gesture

Does anyone know how to change the default browser from gesture: swipe up from the bottom-middle of the screen to google chrome?
Right now when i use this gesture, it will opened mi browser, but the day before, it opened google chrome.
I dont know how to revert the settings, i've tried to change the default browser but no luck.
Thanks in advance

Let me know if you find a solution.

i uninstalled the update on system launcher, fixed the problem

How do you do that?

Pie Update / Google Assistant

I'm using Nova launcher.
Is it possible to use Google Assistant without 'swipe up from home' activation?
Swipe up opens app drawer too. It's really annoying.
I've messed around with various settings to no avail.
Even swiping up from home with GA disabled prompts to enable it again. I mean, wtf?
Thanks

Android Q problems with status bar and gestures

Last week I bought a Galaxy S10 phone and encountered some issues with Android Q.
Cannot turn on the immersive mode for all applications (except my launcher)
Cannot disable the swipe up gesture, so do not open the app drawer / notification bar
During the weekend I've read many blogs and threads, but none of the possible solutions worked. I tried:
Install Immersive Mode Manager and apply a general rule (left a black space at the top of the screen)
Install bxActions but the result is the same
Install App Cloner but most of my applications didn't work afterwards (like Chrome)
Install Nova Launcher and stop using One UI but I couldn't disable the swipe up gesture. It's especially annoying when I have to do a similar gesture to start an attack in a game and the phone opens the notification bar instead.
Do you have any advice I could try? Even if I need to root my phone to make them solved.
