[Q] Disable new apps to appear on desktop - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi folks,
Sorry is this was asked already but I know how to disable it in my Asus Transfomer but can't find the damn switch in GN.
Is there a switch like that in ICS at all?
I hate dragging icons of the screen all the time I installed something.

Go to market then hit menu and then settings. Then unclick auto add shortcuts or auto add widgets. They both do the same

Help! Can't remember the name of an app...

I have today installed Froyo on my Galaxy S. All works great but I had an app that I loved got creating widgets in the form of icons.
This then meant using this app or in conjunction with Launcher Pro Plus I could make bigger icons for some apps.
I cannot remember the name of it though.
You selected it from the Widgets menu after a home screen press and hold then it let you choose the app and the custom icon, then the size you wanted.
Any help much appreciated.
It was a free app.

[Q]How to use minimalistic text on the galaxy nexus

Basically I would like to know how to activate it? do i need a launcher?
thank you for the help in advance
Guess it's just not working with the new way of ICS how widgets are set up.
Long-press on the homescreen doesn't work and there are no signs of the app in widget tab in the app drawer.
Haven't checked a new launcher though.
Just installed from market and been using it since i got the nexus works perfectly..
So how do you setup new widgets?
Are you long pressing the screen for your widgets?

A lot of widgets seem to need a restart to show in the app drawer. Restart and you'll be good to go.

Can you set up a weather widget as just text?

Remove Google Search Bar?

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

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 .

Accidentally thanked you, but you can just go to /system/app/ and delete quicksearchbox.apk as well

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.
There was a week but I can't find it now

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...

Adding more and new widgets Galaxy Nexus

Dear All,
How can I add more and new widgets to the Galaxy Nexus,
There is no option for adding new and more widgets,
Thanks,
If you mean standard and installed widgets.
In the main app menu (app drawer) up the top is an apps tab and a widgets tab, press that. Or just continue scrolling right when you are at the end of your app list, it will enter widgets menu
Hope that helps

You should be able to, they are located with the stock widgets. What happens when you try to add them?
Using a custom ROM? Custom launcher?

Your new downloaded widgets are going to be in the Widget's section of the app drawer at the top, mixed in with the standard widgets. They will not appear anywhere else.

[Q] A few questions with the MOAR MK3 7.1.0 rom

Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.
