Hi. I think the Google search on the home screens. I do not want to delete the apk just to have a blank field without having the opportunity to have widgets placed at the top of the screen. Do anyone have any suggestions to make the filed active?
You can disable Google Search and that search widget goes away. Do you mean that?
If that's the case, then you need to go to:
settings>apps>all apps>Google Search>Disable

No he didnt mean that.If you disable the search or uninstall the appl this area in homescreen is unusable.I think only launcher modding can solve it

ok...I got confused reading the question....
Yes, you are right, even removing the search bar does not allow that space to be used.
sorry for not being clear in the question, but it is right what the third poster said. I want the place where the widget was to be usable

Anyone has the apk for the calendar widget that's included with the Sprint SGSIIET4G? I'm referring to the one where it shows the monthly view on the upper half of the screen and the most recent event on the bottom half of the screen.
Even with TW launcher running, I can't seem to find it listed on the widgets list. Thanks in advance!

Should be the Email Widget in system -> app. The widget in the lists is named "Month", so it's a bit misleading. If you still don't have it, I'll rip the apk and odex for you.
Edit, added it for reference.

Do I unzip this to /system/app/ ??? I did that and when I tried ti install the .apk, it says it can't install. After unzipping, I also went to my widgets list and the MONTH widget does not show up either.

OK, I'm not entirely sure, because I usually delete the stock stuff and don't reinstall it. I don't know if this will work, but go to your home screen, Menu-> Settings -> Applications and check "Unknown Sources", then try installing the widget from data/app, or just the SD card.

Got it working! I had TW 4.5 installed, so I went to the TW4 Manager app and installed the widgets from there. All is good now! Thanks!

Non removable Google search bar was the reason why I have to use non stock launcher ;-)
The good widgets have options so you can define how often to update weather, or disable it completely. I had to try MANY until found one I like.
Beautiful widgets is sufficient.

Here's a silly question - now I've removed the Google search bar to see what it looks like off, I've decided I prefer it on. How do I get it back?
I can't enable the app or redownload it. Is it gone forever, or is there an option I've missed?

You turned it off like this - Settings>Apps>All>google Search >Disable ?
Well, turn it on the same way! Disabled apps go to the bottom of the pile IIRC, so it won't be in it's usual alphabetical order position.

Is there any line item that can be deleted or frozen with Titanium Backup to get rid of the Google search bar at the top of each screen?
Or even if I have to go further into the system?
You can try a launcher like nova launcher which is a stock launcher with additional features
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You can disable google search in settings>applications and it will go away.
You can't do anything with that real estate though.
Download Nova Launcher from this forum , its basically the stock launcher with a few extra twists to it . Overall very slick and fast , you wont look back trust me .

Perfect !! Thank You so much. Actually I just went in and put a .sav file extension at the end of quicksearchbox. That eliminated it but the apk still there should I need to restore it.
I know I don't gain any screen space doing that, I just don't like the look of it at top of my screens! And I can still google from the browser.
Thanx again.

disabling google search bar:
settings -> apps -> all -> google-search : DISABLE
reboot your tablet/phone to remove the empty gray thing on your homescreens...
but this space is not really free then!
enabling again (works too)
settings -> apps -> all -> google-search: ENABLE
btw, without the search-bar the new google-home-www-page also don't works!
you can not enter it from your tablet buttons or the home-screen...
I found this today and wanted to share. I searched and couldn't find this on the forum so I thought I'd throw it out there. I did this and only needed to download the Launcher and not the Google Now file. Tried to upload pics but apparently I am unable too as it says I do not have permission.

It took me a while to figure it out as well. For any one else having this issue just drag either an icon or a widget to an adjacent page and it will create it for you.

the google experience launcher linked in the OP is outdated, here's the actual one from the 4.4.1 nexus5 rom:
http://dl.androidnext.de/com.google.android.launcher-0.10.1.920880.apk
...and it still gets messed up in landscape mode where widgets/icons on the top row sit behind the search bar.
The workaround is to just not use the top row for anything.

Yes, the grid has gone from 6x6 to 5x5, which is what's causing the issues for us.

I'm not a fan of the new grid size. It's messing with my setup.
I've noticed a few grid related issues too; most notably the search bar overlays my home screen widgets while in landscape orientation. This is with the "original" download and not the updated one further down this thread. I will have to see if there is any discernable difference between the two. If all else fails, I can always just switch back to Apex launcher

In my experience, the latest apks (from the op) fix the problem of search bar overlaying widgets on home screen. But you get a smaller grid size.... Gaaaaarrh!!

Hi guys,
I have a weird problem this morning. my playstore apps auto updated this morning and after that, my screen was refreshed and my folders and some widgets were missing. I'm not sure if it's because of this launcher or is it the nexus 7 bug itself.
anyone has the same experience?
Thanks!

Exactly the same problem for me. I woke up this morning and all my full screen widgets were gone and one of my folders had disappeared. It also looks like the grid size has changed
Same story here. This morning everything is messed up. I tried to uninstall and install again but it is the same story. How could you not love Google....
Hello, just got my Note 10.1 and I love it!
One question though, my app drawer is missing some installed apps. I have Dropbox and Hangouts installed but they are not visible in the app drawer. They are not in the "disabled" apps either. The only way I can open them is to search for the app on the Google Play store. What am I missing? Thanks.

Go to settings apps all and see launcher then in bottom tap clear default touch home button and select always on launcher if still not fixed then try using other launchers like go launcher apex Nova next or others available at playstore.

Then click on the folder and move the apps out back outside into the app drawer and then just delete the folder if you want. Hopefully I explained that well lol if not message me again.

Correct, and to add to what you said,
If you want the entire folder gone and want to do it quickly, just bring up menu then select edit. Then drag said folder to "Remove" and it will delete folder and move all apps back to the App drawer.
