[Q] Remove search bar.

Hi. I think the Google search on the home screens. I do not want to delete the apk just to have a blank field without having the opportunity to have widgets placed at the top of the screen. Do anyone have any suggestions to make the filed active?

You can disable Google Search and that search widget goes away. Do you mean that?
If that's the case, then you need to go to:
settings>apps>all apps>Google Search>Disable

No he didnt mean that.If you disable the search or uninstall the appl this area in homescreen is unusable.I think only launcher modding can solve it

ok...I got confused reading the question....
Yes, you are right, even removing the search bar does not allow that space to be used.

sorry for not being clear in the question, but it is right what the third poster said. I want the place where the widget was to be usable

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...

[Q]Sofkeys hidden in games, LS and HS

Hello!
I actually use a Xperia Z with softkeys hidden and the LMT Pie mod.
The problem is that I like the navbar in apps like chrome, phone, messages etc.
But I would like to see them dissapear in games, on the homescreen and lockscreen.
Would it be possible?
Thanks.

In fact, I want an automatic mod.
More simple, I would like the navbar to appear when the notification bar is showed.
In games, in the gallery, and on the homescreen, there are disabled (by stock apps or by features or others, like with nova)
Is that possible to detect if the notification bar is showed, and if it is, show the navbar and disable the pie?

Full!screen+ does that
As im new, cant post a link

U have ltm the does the navigation bar thing for u when u press in a certain spot in the screen and full screen toggle hides it. So what do u want. The softkeys are hidden permanent but ltm launcher pops his own half circle navigation buttons on the screen. Basically the same thing just the screen stealing software buttons are gone. Is that not for Ur satisfaction? It works perfectly.

In fact I would like the same as full!screen+, but with a lmt pie that pops up instead of these two quarters of round at the bottom.
EDIT: full!screen+ doesnt work, Nova shows a black bar (without softkeys) and many craches of "UISystem" (not systemUI)

Well u can make ltm launcher also open up the navigation bar left and right doesn't has to be bottom also u can expand the navigation bar and make many short cuts with it.

Kitkat 4.4 launcher on the Galaxy Note 3

I tried the other method on xda and notice that Google now was freezing up on voice command. Here is the method that got it fully working on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3
1. Download and extract the two files.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8h0siy229ixsni/4.4 launcher.zip
2. Install both apk files
3. Enjoy
Update: If you are having trouble getting the "Ok Google" voice activation to work, here is something to try.
1. In the Google launcher, go into settings > voice > offline speech recognition.
It may say there are no language packages installed, but in reality, it just needs to be updated. It seems to be buggy, but this is how I got it updated.
2. Select the "all" tab.
3. Install the English (us) package if it will let you.
If it doesn't, download English (UK), select the "installed" tab, and the us package should now show up as installed. To make sure the English (us) is updated, simply uninstall and download it again.
Once this is updated, you should be able to press the home button and see "OK Google" in the Google now search bar. Hope this helps!

Does this include Google now on the home screen like on the Nexus 5?

If you move an icon or widget to the next screen, it will add a screen. To have additional screens, you have to have something on it. If they are blank, they are deleted.

Awesome ... thank you for the info. Great find this launcher is butter

I certainly see this being a love/hate thing. I like more control of my launcher, so I am sticking with Nova. I do like the swipe to Google Now and the "Ok Google" options, though. I setup a gesture in Nova for Google Now, but don't know of any solutions for the "Ok Google" option. I would LOVE to be able to get the "Ok Google" to work with the phone on or off.

I like this launcher, it does run very smooth but I ended up going back to Nova. I like a little more customization with my launcher and Nova Prime gives me everything I could need and more. It is still a nice launcher though, to bad it doesn't have some more options.

Love it. Had some problems with it crashing or google search crashing randomly so I tried some of the version on the market which are quite good. Some little stability fixes for devices and such but for the most part 100% AOSP.

I was able to install this on my note 3, but I wasn't able to install the 2nd APK. Also, the notification bubbles no longer show up on my email, messages, Facebook, etc..... Does anyone know what could be wrong? I am not rooted.

Notification bubbles are a touchwiz feature that's why they don't show up

[Q] Nova Launcher / Notification bar problem

Does anyone know why when I have the nova luancher as my home screen launcher I cannot see my notification bar at the top of the screen. How can I get it to reappear so i can see notifications without pulling it down everytime?
I've included 2 screenshot to explain myself better.

Go into Nova Settings > Look and Feel, and make sure "Show Notification bar" is checked.
