Remove phone tab from bottom of home screen - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not rooted and am not that technologically educated yet, but is there a way to remove the bottom band phone tab? I have made way too many unnecessary calls by picking up phone and accidentally hit the button. Thank you, Marie in Minnesota

You could try out a different launcher like launcher pro, or adw launcher both free on the market .

Req. No buttons!

I sound crazy asking this but is there a way anyone could take the bottom quick action buttons off to where thre isn't anything there. No phone, messaging, internet, gmail icons. I bought this quick wave launcher from the market and it pretty much makes the bottom icons useless. Or is there a launcher that takes as many of them away.

ADW Launcher (maybe it's only an ADW.EX feature, but I really doubt it). There's an option somewhere in it that lets you cut it down to zero spaces and expand the desktop.
I use it I love it
Alternatively, you can set adw to hide the dock with a gesture, in case you want to keep the buttons but dont want to look at them

Thanks guys, I'm obviously a fan of webOS from palm. I'm going to give these a try. Id be happy with just the only thing showing is the app drawer icon.

ADW can do it.
Here's what I do:
I enable the hidden dock bar and have swipe-up bring it up. Then I disable the main dock so I have more desk space. Then I tie the home button to my app drawer. It works really well.

Visidon App Locker Questions

Someone mentioned this app a while back. Basically a lame version of what is to come with ICS. This works by unlocking certain apps with your face, not as a lock screen. So a work around for that obviously is setting it up to lock a custom launcher such as Go or that ugly iphone one.
My question is is there any way to make the twlauncher an actual listed app? It'll only let you select the apps in your app drawer. And obviously touchwiz launcher isn't there haha

If you buy the app you can use it as lockscreen unlock.

Anybody know of a launcher....

So I was messing with my dads Nexus 4. Is there a Launcher or something I can use to have on screen keys? I'd love to have that recent apps button. Thanks, and call me a noob or whatever.

You can achieve this with most AOSP roms by enabling the nav bar. No launcher required If you're on touchwiz then I don't think so.
Go to the play store and search "recent apps" there will be one by "factory widgets" and then add it to the homescreen and it will perform like the button.

Pie launcher

Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!
Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.

[Q] Missing Widget Tab

When I open the APPS the APPS tab is there but no longer does it show the Widget tab. I'm wondering how to get it back.
Are you using the stock Touchwiz? I never had a widgets tab in the apps drawer on stock. Just touch and hold a home screen.
Are you using a different launcher?

I'm using Nova and it always had widget tab however I tried holding on start screen and HOLY COW up comes what is missing. I never knew about that. THANKS for the help.
I haven't used nova in a while but I'm sure in the nova settings is a way to bring back that tab in the apps drawer.

When you hold recent app button will bring up widgets too.
