Launcher question (Nova)

Anyone knows how to remove these lines that surrounds the entire page when you swipe between screens.
For some reasons, only the nexus 7 has it ..on my HTC sensation it doesn't show up

Try setting margins to NONE and changing the grid size just note what the grid default settings are if you change them you might lose some shortcuts or widgets they will be there they will be moved to where you can't see them.... On Apex launcher I have mine set to 6x8 portrait and landscape but I just always use landscape. In portrait 6x8 does look a little stretched. try like 5x7 or 4x6 or 5x5 whatever works for you.

Nova Settings>Desktop>Scroll Effect>Card Stack.

Yup that's an alternative but I'm quite bothered by card stack though, still prefer the animation less scroll effect

You said that you wanted the lines gone......that option took the line out. Maybe you should switch launchers.

Update nova to the latest beta from inside nova settings.

One clock, or search the play store?

Dashclock Widget. There are a ton of extensions. This is a must have with 4.2 lockscreen!

Use another lockscreen like widget locker.

No.... with 4.2 you can add widgets to the native lock screen.

Just swipe to the right on the lock screen and there will be an add (plus) button.

Good point. I still use widget locker though because it lets you have more than one widget on the screen, like in OP's post. I can't see any way to do that with the native lock screen.

Dashclock is so cool but it doesn't work on the S4 if you want to use a pin or pattern lock as well.

That's Samsung mistake, block lockscreen widgets when you have a security lock.

Annoying pop up alerts

I've been getting these ever since I updated to 4.3 I believe... Its not a popup that's in the notification shade, rather one that pops right in the middle of the screen, and it shows an advertisement for an app saying download free from play store (I think it had advertised a free game "paradise island") and then it tries to say why it recommended that app by showing other downloads i made off the play store.
Are these normal/from the play store or are they from a spammy app? Please help, thanks!

Its an app you downloaded that uses push or pop up notifications. Delete it.

Nothing detected, its not something that's filling up my notification shade just a nasty popup. I went through all the games I had in my phone (not many, just 6) and unchecked the "allow notifications" option in the app settings menu. I haven't gotten one tonight, but next time I do get it I can screenshot it...

Sounds like a malicious app though, I haven't heard of popups on a phone not related to SMS notifications, or halo.

Very weird, could you show us a screenshot?

Check what is running, take a screenshot of what is running, if you don't see an app which shouldn't be there then go to the cached processes area above.

Disable status bar

Does anyone know how to permanently hide the status bar across the whole system? I want to use floating notifications but the double notifications would drive me crazy!
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app

It depends on the rom you're using. Most custom rom can hide the status bar out-of-the-box, just look around in the settings.

I'm on sentinel ROM, either I'm being really stupid or there isn't an option. It comes with expanded desktop but I want to keep to navbar. An option to run all apps in full screen would be perfect if it exists?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app

I'm not familiar with that one. You can also try different launchers, like Nova or Apex. I've seen this feature in one of them, but it was long ago.

Nova allows you to hide the status bar.

Thanks for the suggestion, but surely that's only on the homescreen? In looking for something more global

When you're in apps it's also hidden, as well as when you're in the home screen. But if you're in say, Settings, it will come back up again. That's personally what I use and I like it.

Thanks for the tips, ended up deciding to use an app called Full Screen! Lost a bit of navbar functionality but it's acceptable for the amount of screen space I now have!

If you lose the navbar anyway, then why don't you use your roms fullscreen option? I think PIE is awesome.

I tried to set up pie controls but couldn't get it to work. Don't know if it was me, the app, the ROM, or what, but I'm happy with the way it"s set up now so I'm not going to look into it too much

Any solution for this ?

So I'm using xposed gravity box and I set my nav bar to 60% and this is what I got on stock launcher. It has some weird space and I really want buttons to be transparent. Any fix/ idea ?

I don't think you can achieve what you want unless you use another launcher, Nova is what I personally prefer. I may be wrong but I think that will be the only way.

And can nav bar be transparent on nova ?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

Well... Technically yes. But until you get the 4.4 update, or if you move to aosp 4.4 rom, the option is greyed out in the nova menu. It is an option, just not on 4.2. But I think if you use nova and just keep gravity box stuff like you have it, it may look right for you. Lots of options on nova.

I use toggle fullscreen app from google play and it fixed that issue when I use udn.

In G2 xposed, there's a button under themes and colors for transparent status and nav bar. I'm using it, works great on 4.2 (vzw).
