Was gonna post this in development but didn't wanna get flamed.
Is it possible to remove the swipe up from nav bar action?
I'm always accidentally doing that when scrolling & such. I'd like to keep Google now, just remove the shortcut.
I searched to no avail, just talk of changing the shortcut & removing Google now.
If someone could point me in the right direction ill do it myself, I just don't know where to start.
Thanks in advance for any advice! I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this..

Its possible, but the Google now code is not open source. So you'd have to remove it, then code an app to mimic the swipe up.
I'm not looking to use another app, just remove the shortcut all together so swiping up from the nav bar doesn't do anything at all.
I'm constantly opening Google now by mistake when scrolling

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Just disable Google Search in Settings > Apps > All, no need to install anything................
If your ROM has navbar shortcuts, you can just set the shortcut for Google Now to be blank. You'll still get the ring if you swipe up, but there'll be no apps on it for you to accidentally open.

Strange...never had this problem for couple years while using custom roms.

Figured I'd post this, as I have gotten some questions asking about it.
This video will show you how to install the Swype keyboard on your Gnex.

Did Google remove the press to hold and change keyboard input option? I keep having to go change it in settings and that's a bit of an annoyance. I like to change keyboards every so often.

When you bring up the keyboard, there is an icon on the top notification bar. Select from there.
Finally, some Swype action!

Okay, so that's what that was. Lol. I was becoming frustrated that the little icon was up there so I assumed it was Swype spamming me. Thanks a lot! I guess it doesn't show up until you have more than one keyboard available.

has anyone been able to download any language files?
it seems the download capability is broken. I couldn't download any language files or dragon feature.
p.s.
Downloading works but it just needs some time.
Downloading the additional languages seems a little buggy. Sometimes the option completely disappears from the menus( even whilst being connected to wifi the whole time). It's not a conclusive method of getting the menu option back but I think running the swype setup/installer app when swype is already installed seemed to bring it back for me. Then several times when opening the download languages menu it sat with the loading twirly for ages and ages.
Also when finally getting the list of languages and downloading my desired language, the downloading was fairly fast but installing took ages.
What was also funny was swype had defaulted to Spanish when I first downloaded it and I was wondering why it's predictions had become so seemingly odd....

You can't. It's the way you change keyboard in ICS (except stock keyboard which is long press space).
The norification will stay there unless Swype implements the ICS way to change keyboard.
I'm using Swype whole mounth. build that I found works perfectly in my g nexus.
I can give apk if somebody wants. Also it supports lots of languages.

and I don't have any keyboard icon at top bar. It works how it must (like in 2.3).
But there one BUT: it uses nuance dictation (or dragon) that's no t so cool as default goggle's

You're using the hacked version, which is already online. This thread is about the OFFICIAL one which cannot be shared as it'd be classed as warez

I removed it from the launcher settings in cm9 I think? If I remember (which my memory is fried) I couldn't find a place to remove it from CM10 either.. If you do find it, please post results so I can get it off there too
Is anyone else having this issue in google play.
You scroll down as you look at apps.
You select one to look at it then go back to the app list.
Once back to the list you are started back at the top.
Pretty annoying if you are pretty far down.
Anyone know of a fix

It works like that for everyone. I have not seen a fix for it.

It will probably be fixed in a newer version, it is annoying but its no biggie

I have actually contacted Google about this. It happens when viewing the "My Apps" and is especially annoying in the "All" tab. It also happens in the "Top New Free" apps section. Google emailed me back and said they can't promise anything, but my concern had been forwarded to their developers. I really hope they fix this.
Good deal. Yeah it's not a huge deal but gets annoying when you are searching for apps and have to scroll through a couple hundred apps to get back to where you left off. Seems like it would be an easy fix for Google I wonder why they don't fix it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It would be great if they fix it soon... and also give us the possibility to clean the chronology of the google play, i've an endless list of apps it's pretty useless...

Yes, now that you mention it the app history of every app you downloaded in the last 5 years is worse. I download and try a ton of free apps as well as paid. Most free apps are deleted within the day, so I have a gazillion apps in the my apps list

I agree these issues are annoying. I'll sign any petition!
Furthermore, they need to bring back a way of filtering purchased apps. All of our purchased apps should be in one convenient place.

Theres legacy play store by Paul O'brien on MoDaCo.
An update to the Playstore is being rolled out to address some of these issues. You can now remove apps from the all apps list and it appears to keep your place when you scroll.

This new Play Store is sweet! You can delete historical apps and it remembers your position when navigating backward!
I downloaded from the article link, cleared market data, pushed to system (rooted), and rebooted. Works great.

@Mf4466 Hold down on the homescreen (not in the google now one ,but a nornal homescreen ) It will ask for wallpapers, widgets and settings , go into settings , turn google now off, and your google now page on the left will be gone
