Heyo
Wondering how i would go about removing the notification bar that shows battery etc.
I am using ADW launcher ex, but can't for the life of me seem to find the option for it anymore. I swear it used to be there when i used it for my galaxy s2.
If adw doesn't have it anymore do you have any recommendations for another launcher app that would do the trick.
Thanks in advance!

Do I have to be rooted?
I want to remove the time, battery status, and alarm clock on/off icon.
Thanks.
You can run a home alternative like adw or launcher pro to choose to hide it.

No. I do not want to hide the entire bar, just those specific icons.
I'm interested also in removing those specific icons. The battery indicator is very inaccurate.

There is a "fix" for the inaccuracy. It's just loading up more graphics with incremental changes.
I use the switch pro widget which already contains a very accurate battery meter along with a bunch of other goodies.
The clock is useless to me simply because the lock screen before you get into your home screen contains a huge clock.
cyanogen gives these options. I dont know of another way. I have done one of the "accurate" battery mods and LOVE IT (check jonnybuenos theme out, amazing).
Hi friends,
Anyone got a good launcher other than Go ,ADW, Launcher Pro, etc ....one good for the transformer and that does not have a dock on the left, or bottom.
The main thing I am trying to do is get rid of 5 scrollable screens, I just want 3. Any modification ideas??

You can remove the dock with ADW. But you have to add a shortcut to open the app drawer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vtlab.launcher&feature=search_result is a honeycomb optimized launcher I believe. check that out. ive never used it though

From the description:
"VTL.Launcher - Tablet Optimized - Scrolling Docks - Scrolling Widgets - And More
***NOT FOR HONEYCOMB YET***
Pretty sure it is only optimized for Gingerbread on larger screens. I tried this one about a month ago and was really disappointed.

Aww that sucks. I just remember reading a article about it but never really looked into it. Looking forward to it's release. bummer
You can get rid of screens using ADW just select edit and select the screens you do not need. You can also hide the dock but add a short cut for the app panel on the desktop.
Hi Everyone
Ok thanks for your advise, I have loaded ADW and successfully configured it nicely, however I removed my old system launcher, and put this ADW launcher in the system app section. Now everytime I boot, the thing reinstalls wiping my settings....
Does anyone have experience if you make ADW a ststem app, why does it reinstall each time you restart (wiping all user settings) and is there a way aroun d it? an odex file maybe?
why do you want it to run as a system app?
because its better than stock app...do remove stock app to replace with this makes life easy and bloat free...Also if someone with no understanding of programming deletes this app (wife or Kids or my parents) then I have to do a CWM recovery----I dont want to do that....
Set ADW as your default launcher and use an autorun manager to stop the stock launcher from running at boot-up. Problem solved.

Thanks for the info..!
I used up for "open app drawer" and down for "show information panel" or whatever the small dock at the lower right is called.
I've looked and not been able to find, but has anyone created a sideloading app for this?

i believe that after the new update, it enables a semi-transparent status bar which works with all wallpapers. I heard that if you want to keep root, don't update, but I guess this is one way to get the new status bar :silly:

You could always try a launcher... Like Apex that allows for a transparent notification bar.

Only if you run samsung wallpapers.
Nova launcher also gives you the option of a trans status bar..no matter what wallpaper you use.

With the latest update, all wallpapers are supported with a semi-transparent status bar (even on the Touchwiz Home launcher).

Hey guys i just picked up my S4 yesterday as a treat for my birthday yesterday and love it, but im curious how do you change the apps icon?
Example: http://i.imgur.com/6gtp79K.jpg
That's actually Nova / Apex launcher with icon packs installed over them. You can easily search them on Play store.

Hey man thanks for the reply, well i actually have NOVA Launcher installed atm and an icon pack, but the actuall button that you press to bring up the app draw is the same old default ugly one, opposed to the nice looking one that you see in the picture above.. Really want to change it as that one icon really makes me angry when i look at it lol
I figured it out
If anyone needs to know..
Just hold down the apps draw icon then edit then you can select what icon you wish to use

Hello everyone, i recently installed BlissPop ROM on my D-802.
I was wondering:
1) Can i remove the "Get now cards" ?
2) Can i use smaller icons like the others on bottom tray ?
Image URL: s21.postimg.org/anycthrp3/Screenshot_2015_10_29_11_44_34.png
Futhermore, were could i find stock apps like Dialer and Contacts ? Most of them listed on "G2 THEMES AND APPS" have broken links.
Hi,
1. I'm assuming that's a widget, if so, you can just long-press it and throw it to the "Remove" / "Delete" option that pops up.
2. If you're using Nova launcher, witch I guess you're using, you can go to Nova settings--> Desktop--> Icon layout and from there you can adjust the size of the icons in the desktop.
Edit: Oh and about the stock apps, here's a link to some stock lollipop apps
http://www.idroidspace.com/download-android-5-lollipop-stock-apps/
Nearly all the stock lollipop apps are there, however if you want the messenger app then just search for it at the play store, Google already published it there.
But if you meant stock LG apps, then I don't believe there is a way to use stock LG apps in an Aosp ROM such as Cyanogenmod/blisspop/AICP etc...
Have fun!

Thank for your reply!
1) This is not a widget. That's why i am asking if there any way to remove it.
2) I am using the launcher which come with BlissPop ROM. Should i use Nova instead ?
I was searching for stock LG Contacts and Dialer apps because i prefer them than Google's.
I prefer LG apps over the stock as well, but sadly, I did not manage to make them work in the BlissPop ROM.
And I recommend you to use a different launcher, as he said, Nova would suffice. But I personally preffer Apex Launcher, it just fits my style a bit more. Any of these two should be able to handle your situation anyway.

Yes, use Nova or Apex or whatever launcher you want, I prefer Nova. I've used so many launcher in the past but nothing could beat Nova IMO.
Even though I'm recommending Nova, witch will, by using it, remove that ugly "Get now cards" thingy, I'm gonna have to ask you to tell me what happens when you long press that thing? Does it say anything? Does it let you view "app info" or let you know what app that is?
And for the stock apps, I searched and tried some but none worked (as expected). That's why some people choose to stay with stock systems because of these apps. Personally I've gotten over that ;D

Is there any way to install LG stock widgets like flashlight and RAM cleaner ?

You can set up task manager in your status bar, it should be in the blisspop settings, under status bar OR under the quick settings menu.
It will add a buttom for the task manager to your quick settings, see for yourself

A screenshot or something ? I can not find this option :/
Sure, Settings - Bliss interface - Notification drawer - Task manager.
When you turn that on, an icon will appear in your quicksettings (when you slide down notification bar completely, it will be next to the settings shortcut and battery shortcut).
