The only way to remove the google search bar is to change the launcher.. And apparently there are several people with the same problem with the smart screen. I will have to return to At&t romuntil this is fixed. :crying:

The way to do is. Restore ur data only from the att ROM. Then ur launcher will be like the one the att unit without all the bloat ware and also has the already unlock tether included. And also doing it this way will take care of the Google error when downloading apps.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I cannot seem to find Google Voice Search on my Nexus!!! It's not in the app drawer, there's no widget for it. But I go to Settings>Apps, and it's still under the "All" section, and I'm able to enable/disable it just fine. So I tried to go to the Market to see if I could download it there, and there is no "install" button (I'm assuming because it's a built in app)...help? I'm not running any custom ROM's...just stock, unlocked, rooted. I am using Nova Launcher, so that may be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See the search bar on to? Tap the microphone on the right side. That's Google Voice Search.

Hi All,
I just installed "Sandvold's ICS BETA" and quiet like it. But would it be possible to rid off the google search bar from the top of the screen ?

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.
I'm using Ericwill's unofficial CM10 rom and I have no notification icons in the status bar... However, when I pull down the notification drawer the card (weather, time to work) is in fact in there... Is there any way to get back the car icon or the cloud icon?
just a thought but have you check to make sure google now is actually on when you click search button and Google comes up hit menu/ settings and make sure its clicked on

It is on, I've been using it... I get the notifications in the drawer like I mentioned... If I pull it down I see the weather but it never shows the little cloud icon in the statusbar
damn that sucks must be a glitch or bug not reading Google now properly try clearing the cache in applications for google now/google search if not try posting in the ROM thread for better answers to your question sorry couldnt help bro EDIT: is it a themed version of G-Now or stock G-now from CM

Just curious, do you get the icons for cards in your status bar?
yes i see all the cards and lil cloud on mine ...but im not running what are you bro thats why i say might just be a bug or something with your rom we all have different set ups with can differ on all parts
Its a known issue for quite a few people. Actually I dont know anyone who runs cm10 that actually has it working properly. I just stop being bothered with it a while ago and moved on... Hopefully someone figures out exactly whats wrong
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

Any way to get rid of the Google search bar at the bottom of the home screen? It is annoying and I never use it.
Thanks!

It's funny, because before I had no use for it. I'd always stick with opening chrome and typing in the search area there. For the last year now I've been using the search bar widget on my homescreen and seriously can't go without it. I barely even open Chrome anymore. And even when I do use a customer launcher time to time usually Nova...first thing I do upon setup is stick that search bar right at the bottom lol.
