[Q] Remove bar, dock, icons and all?

Ok first view my screenshot at the bottom of this post.
My current setup:
LauncherPRO, status bar toggled hidden, black background, and custom dock icon images, black (so they appear hidden)
What I want:
Ideally, I want NO dock icons.
I use google gesture search for everything. There is an extra app that makes google gesture pop up when I long-press the search button, so i'd like to remove that icon as well.
Please help with any ideas!
Also I am liking the idea of invisible widgets.
I want to have secret ones, where I scroll left-side to open x app, or pinch and zoom one area of the screen to toggle wifi, etc.

Bump.
Essentially I want no homescreen.
Using the search button long-press shortcut to gesture search is all I need.
I might throw a hidden lock on there as well.
I want it to appear that my device is powered down to the average user.

I use Go launcher and Swipe pad. Nothing else on my homescreen. Toggling statusbar (swipe up or down) and no icons in my on my taskbar. I double tap to get to my app drawer. I use swipe pad for quick access to what I use most. I like it no one can figure out my phone.

Home from app drawer?

I'm new to Nova Launcher, and to be honest 3rd party launchers in general. And the only question I have so far while using Nova is that once I'm in my app drawer hitting my home button closes the app drawer and zooms me out to see all screens I have with the option of wallpaper, widget or app to add to a screen. Rather than just taking me to my homepage like the home button does from any other screen.
Is this normal? is there a way to have hitting home from the app drawer just take me to my homepage?

You can turn that off in Nova settings. Its in gesture and inputs

Thanks all, that did it. :good:

Actually, in doing that I lose the option to double tap the home button to bring up those options such as apps, widgets and wallpaper. Looking under gestures though the toggle is on that says "return to default page on first tap, action on second" but there is no thing from the second.
The only time it seems to work as the settings suggest is if you have more than 1 screen. Once I created a blank screen to the right of my default page then it worked as it should. With just one it doesn't.

This is how I have it set. Edit: it works better if you set home button to go to default page

Well my initial problem was fixed by setting the home button to the default screen. However if you have only 1 screen you then lose the ability to add screens and widgets, even if the toggle is 'on' that says double tapping the home button will still give you that option. But once you add a second blank screen that toggle switch enabling the action of double tapping the home button then works. So it has to be a bug, I just don't know if their aware of it or not because I suspect most people use more than 1 screen and have never noticed it doesn't work with 1.

Disable Sense and Clock Location detection

Hello,
I just got my HTC 10 and during setup wizard, where Sense asked whether to share location or not I chose yes. Is there any way to disable this? I have looked almost everywhere and I cannot find the setting anywhere.
Sense home widget, lock screen clock widget and the Clock app, all keep on showing my current location. I suppose that this drains battery. I would like them to show weather, etc. in the location I set them to, if possible, rather than them detecting it automatically.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

It won't drain your battery, but you can turn off location services in settings>location.
For setting your time zone location manually for the clock widget: tap the clock, go to world clocks (it won't work in alarms stopwatch or timer ~ different menus) and tap the three dot menu thing top right, choose "set home time zone", type in your city and you are done.

I think I found out where the drain was coming from. It was the HTC weather app, which updated every 1 hour or so.

Yeap I usually turn that down or off. However it shouldn't be that drastic. Maybe also check settings/accounts and sync and look what all is inside each account and disable what isn't needed.
Also go to settings/locations/menu/scanning and disable the Wi-Fi constantly scanning. Menu is three dots in top right corner of settings/location

Selecting a default home screen on LinegeOS 16.0

Hi!
I'm running linegeOS 16.0 by arcon for samsung s4 active. I am trying to select a default home screen; I understand that pinching out on the desktop is no longer a thing(just came from android 4.4.2...) according to this post (for oero 8.0) long clicking on the desktop should display a home icon, in order to select the default home screen. But there's nothing like that for me. So, does it work differently on LinegeOS?
(I already tried asking on the rom's thread)
(I also disabled google app (on the left hand side of the desktop) because that's what it says on that link I gave)
*also I can't find a way to sort out the home screens order... meaning, say you have 4 home screens and you want to alter the order - 1,2,3,4 -> 1,3,2,4. I can't figure out how to do it on linege!
thanks!

You should find the option in Settings>>Apps and Notifications>>Default Apps.
There, you should find options to select apps to perform various default actions, including Home, if you have them installed.

Thanks D4ND310, for trying to help.
I'm not asking about the default apps, though. I'm asking about how to arrange the home screens (that assemble the desktop) and selecting the default one (the one that gets displayed when pressing the home button)
i.e
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is at least how it used to work on my S4 active, and it's a normal feature on samsung devices. I'm asking how to do the same thing on linegeOS.
thanks!

That's not a feature of the operating system. That's a feature of the launcher. In lineageOS's default launcher trebuchet the home screen is always on the most left position. Maybe you will find the described feature in another launcher.

[GUIDE] Make a stock "screen off" shortcut that works with Fingerprint/SmartLock

[GUIDE] Make a stock "screen off" shortcut that works with Fingerprint/SmartLock
Hi!
One thing I've always thought that was missing in this phone was a "screen off" shortcut that so many brands currently have.
Third party options have caveats. Using device administrator locks the phone but disables fingerprint or smar lock, using timeout often didn't work well as the black screen sometimes continued to show the status bar or was responsive to touches during the timeout.
This method shuts the screen off as if you pressed the power button using bixby.
To do this:
- Open Bixby - Click the 3 dotted menu - Quick commands - My commands - Click on the plus icon to add a command.
-Name it as you wish in any language, the name you give it here is the name of the shortcut on the home screen.
-Then in what bixby does choose "type a command" and write "Screen off".
- Save it
- Then click the 3 dotted menu in front of the command you've just made and choose Add to Home Screen.
That's it, enjoy!

Great

doubleHome
There's an even easier way to do this and it works anywhere on the phone, not just the launcher shortcut. I've been using this utility called doubleHome from Jawomo since my S8+ days, and it lets me double tap the home button from anywhere to turn off and lock the screen. Just installed it on my new A50, still works great!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-doublehome-double-tap-home-to-off-t3611220
It's no longer on the Play Store or even supported anymore, but the above thread has one of the last versions (v1.30). There was one last update to v1.31, which is the one I've always used since I originally updated it through the Play Store before it was pulled. This last version can easily be found with a Google search.
There are a few miscellaneous options to customize its behavior and some Pro features that were unlockable at one point but no longer. One little "glitch" if you can even call it that, the status bar will stay on for a second or two before turning off like the rest of the screen. This didn't used to happen until Oreo and later, but it's not a big deal at all - actually looks kinda neat.
Give it a try!

This is great!
