[REQUEST] remove swipe up from nav bar

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.

Google play

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.

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.

I heard there was an apk called "play legend"that allows you to see all purchased apps, still haven't found + installed it yet though

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.

Uninstall the play services already on your device and install the new one.

I was able to install this launcher on my OGPro running CM 10.2. It would not work on stock.
Here is the link I used to get the files and get it working:

installed this and it looks awesome but search doesn't want to stay fixed after doing the language setting trick. I change the settings and it works great after that but after exiting the app it reverts back with force close. to be honest I'd rather just have the always on okay google search feature with nova prime launcher. the google launcher has little to offer in terms of customization.

I understand. For me the integrated Google now home screen and smooth operation are great. I just set the voice search language to English, Generic. No more force closes.

GEL just updated

The Google Search app just got a minor update, and amongst the changes are several new GEL features; a new "import from existing launchers" feature when first installed, and it now keeps the far right dock item on tablets. Its now also labeled as "Google Now Launcher" in the 'Home' tab in settings.
This all seems to be related to GEL on the Play Store, anyone agree?
The Google Now Launcher has officially launched in the play store, making my hypothesis correct. About time too! Anyways I think we should all thank the beta testers, you Nexus 5 users really did help!

I am sure it was mostly bug fixes and the things you listed above. Possible battery improvements aswell?

I haven't noticed any, but it seems to have brought a new bug, where pressing home when in the app drawer drops some FPS

Of Google Search? I'm using an outdated GoogleHome.apk anyway; since it doesn't actually do anything other than direct all action to Google Now
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yeah I don't see why nexus 5 owners would need an import feature if it's already the stock launcher, obviously coming soon to the play store

GEL just hit the play store for GPes and Nexus devices
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the heads up. It wasn't listed as an app that needed updating but I'm guessing because it was side loaded. And strangely, I couldn't find it in a search of the App Store, I had to locate another Google app and hit the "Also by..." button.
I'm not seeing any issues so far but I am tempted to uninstall it and reinstall from the Market just in case I have any Market link issues in the future.

Dragging apps from search bar broken Android 7?

Hi all,
Since Android 7 OTA, I can no longer drag an app from the home screen search bar, for example, to put it on home screen or get info / uninstall.
Maybe it's user error, but I wondered if anyone else has this problem?
It works fine if I go via main app drawer, but that's a pain.
Thanks.

I think they removed the feature from the Google Now launcher because it's also not working on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1

Thank you! Thought I was going bonkers.
That sucks...it was a good feature.
