[Q] Question about getting rid of recent apps in notification bar - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My problem is that I hate HTC's 'brilliant' idea to show recent apps in notification bar. I need to remove it in some way. I have read many threads on the forum but i couldn't find a working solution for my Desire Z. Most of them are dedicated for DHD.
Have anyone managed to get rid of that stupid thing on G2/DZ? I am running on Virtuous rom.

Go to rom manager > download rom > virtuous > modifications (or something like that) then look for power control mod. That will speed up your notification drawer lag and get rid of your recent apps list.

Thank you, I'll try it as soon as i have access to wifi.

Get rid of the app icons on the notification bar on Virtous?

Hey yall, I just got my G2 and I've already modded it out the wazoo, the only question I have at the moment is how do I get rid of the currently running apps on the top of the notification bar in Virtuous? It's really bugging me.
Not much of a sense fan here, but I'm assuming you have to turn off notifications for each app inside the app settings...
Not the notifications...this rom has a kind of task killer built into the notifications window

I've seen this same question asked several times, but have yet to see an answer posted. So I will go out on a ledge and say you can't.

Im running Virtuous 0.8.1 and dont have any apps in my notification bar, are you sure its not an app you installed apart from the Virtuous rom, there is no built in task killer that ive found apart from the andriod "Manage applications" or the "Running services" in the menu/settings/applications drawer, but both of these do not put anything in the notification bar.
He's talking about the row of recently used apps in the pull-down notification bar. This is a 'feature' of the new version of Sense - the only way to get rid of it would be for the ROM devs to remove it.
I'm sure you could tinker with something like the framework or something to disable it, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it. There's no easy way to do it, basically.

Oh, yeah, I have those too, dont really seem to bother me though, not a task killer just a link to recently used apps like you said.
Ugh....It's really bothering me...enough to possibly go back to CM6

Like I said in my previous post, about there are others with the same issue (doesn't bother me), but if enough of you contact HTC about this, they could possibly add an option to show or not in later releases.

[Q] Connectivity bar?

I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .

[Q] where's my alarm clock?

What happened? I use my alarm clock everyday..and today it disappeared. I downloaded Alarm Clock Extreme at some point, cause I read that people had problems with the alarm function disappearing, but I didn't have a problem till this morning. What gives...and how do I get it back, without wipping out the phone?if there is no fix..then I will just keep using the program I downloaded in case of emergency
Thanks
AJ
I know the OTA 2.3.3 update broke a lot of peoples phone (including mine). What ROM are you running?
I dont know but in my incredible 2 if i touch the big clock i could see the alarm and the weather.if you dont have the big clock you can go to personalise and you can find the alarm clock. I have skyrider rom.
If you have rooted your Inc 2, and using titanium backup, you can get the clock back by going into the backup/restore section and scroll down till you see clock.
click on it and hit the the defrost button. Restart and you will have your clock back.
If not rooted... Sometimes a hard reset will work, but it will be like starting all over again with your phone.
It's an ongoing issue, the app is still there but the icon disappears. One easy way to get it back is to download Any Cut from the market (it's free) and use that to create a new shortcut to the clock app. Once you do that, the icon will be there to stay, it won't be affected by whatever bug causes the app's original icon to disappear.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am running a stock from. I haven't done anything g to the phone. It was working after the update, but all of a suddened it stopped working.
This issue was brought up a while back on XDA here. And is also being tracked on HTC's own forums here.
From the looks of it HTC hasn't yet released an update :-/

Either delete GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in /system/app or check the launcher's settings.

I am back to LeeDroids ROM at the moment but I was using Sanvold's ROM until a few days ago. There is a menu setting for to get rid of the search bar but I can't remember precisely where off the top of my head. The wording is something like "Enable persistent searchbar", if you uncheck this, it will be gone.
When you install the rom, choose in the installer for the nova launcher option. It has the option to disable the searchbar.
Menu -> Nova Settings -> Desktop -> Persistent Search Bar -> Never
It's the same on Apex launcher. I don't know if you can disable it on stock launcher, but the alternatives are also more customisable.
Use Nova and simply remove the bar.
On my Desire wihit ICS beta 0.4.4, I just have to remove it like a widget.

[Q] How to remove Google search bar from homescreen?

Hey guys, I just installed the CM10 custom rom for JB 4.1 on my htc one v. Everything works great, but I just can't stand having that ugly Google search bar on top of the home screen.
I don't want to use GoLauncher or anything like that to remove it, so I was hoping you guys know a mod that'll help.
I've tried installing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741038 but it seems I've gotten ahead of myself, and broke something with this mod, so the phone keeps restarting after 5sec of run time. The mod is for 5x4 grid sized phones... and I kinda ignored that thinking it'll work fine :>
Please help me find a working mod, or a solution to end the restarts
Lol easy
Settings
Launcher
Home screen
Deselect the persistent search bar
Now come to ur home screen chick and hold the Google search bar and remove like any other widget
And there ur done
