[Q] Nova Launcher - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently using Nova Launcher to have the KitKat look but is there a way to hide Apps and Widgets on the top of the menu launcher to match the KitKat launcher?

Nova does the same but easier.

I thought Nova only did it for the home screen. Even if it does, I think only the Pro version would do it. This solution is free.
I don't even remember Nova launcher having that option.

Nova NON PRO (aka free) version gives you the option to remove the navigation bar on ALL screens.
Look under nova settings > desktop > persistent search bar (choose option).

I got the PRIME version (paid) and selecting persistent search bar to Never doesn't get rid of the navigation bars.

Wait, search bar or nav bar? It's two totally different things.

You're right. It's nova settings > look and feel > show notification bar. But like you said it only does it if you're on the home screen or in the dock. Once you open anything else like an app or phone settings, the notification bar will appear. I have prime but i'm pretty sure it's still an option if you have the free version if i'm not mistaken.

how do you disable the info in others screens?

As the title say, want to disable the "draw an app or widget" note on the empty screen so i can have a good full size wallpaper, thanks in advance

Are you talking about your home screen? If yes, then you should try using different launchers such as Apex or Nova.

Yeah, the home screen, so, that's the only solution? No way to remove that notification? I dont like launchers

Well if you somehow find a modified LGHome.apk or an Xposed Module that removes the "drag an app.." message, then you're in luck. If the reason why you don't want to use launchers is that the icons looks different then you can easily apply this LG launcher theme so you can feel "at home"

Yes. Actually I never really thought of it in any other way. You can do it through your launcher settings or usually the icon pack itself has a way to apply it (left side, should be there).

I mean, for example if I was in settings and I went into my apps instead of seeing their default icons I would see the icons from my selected icon pack. So no matter where I was seeing the icon it would be the Icon pack's icon. Hope this helps.

In settings>apps specifically? No I dont think itll switch the icons there but it will change them all on your homescreen and in app drawer.
I use Action Launcher 3 and I can apply all from the launcher settings. Or like I said, open the icon pack itself and tap apply.

Yeah, but if it's only in your launcher it isn't system wide.

You need a custom launcher that supports icon packs. Android launcher doesn't provide native support for icon packs. Icons are applied system wide if you are using a custom launcher and make it your default homescreen instead of Android's launcher. However, most icon packs will be missing icons for at least some of your apps. Some icon packs attempt to theme those icons and others just leave the stock icon.

Your launcher is system wide. You need to make the custom launcher your default home instead of Android's launcher. The launcher changes your home screens and your app drawer.

There was a xposed module that allow you to do that, change icons system wide. I didn't tried it lately, but used to work fine.
It's called Unicon, by Faruq Rasid, search for it in the PlayStore.
Edit: You're on N, so no xposed for you, Sorry.
