Has anyone noticed recently that the Google Search bar is back if you've tried hiding it? Evidently one of the Google updates broke the fix that Xgels made to hide it. I've tried everything and cannot get it off my screens. Help! Any ideas? I've considered using another custom launcher but prefer not to. There used to be a 'Google Search' shown under Apps so that it could be turned off ,but that's gone, too. Apparently Google wants their annoying search bar at the very top of every frigging page. I want it gone, anyone with ideas?

Try a master reset
Solved, have no idea how. Installed nova launcher, didn't liked, uninstall the app and the icon disappeared.
Looks just like your launcher experienced some weird error and resulted in a graphical artifact. Not common but also not entirely rare. It typically corrects itself if you just force close and start the launcher again. Or just reboot.
Since you uninstalled the launcher altogether, that works too.
Hi there, I wasn't able to find an answer to this and didn't want to hijack the "GEL coming to all 4.1+ devices?" thread under General..
When I first upgraded my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi) tablet to KitKat and installed the GEL/latest Google Search - I had the transparent navigation bar AND status bar. However today I noticed the navigation bar at the bottom is no longer transparent, while the status bar at the top still is.
The only thing I can think of that I've changed is I've rooted my tablet with the latest SuperSU. Anyone have some ideas? Once I get home tonight I'll try unrooting it and see if that fixes it, but that seems rather odd it would break that.
Curious if anyone else has noticed this or knows of a fix? Thank you.
Install the GEL launcher again (just the launcher) and you will get it, it'll only be transparent on the homescreen though.
And unless you use Google Now a lot and perform A LOT of google searches, GEL is completely useless if you ask me.

I will try that out when I get home tonight - makes sense.
Agreed on the Launcher on all accounts - but I actually do use Now quite a bit, and love the voice capabilities. And the transparency is oh so purty :victory: Definitely not for everyone, I can see why Google hasn't pushed it out yet. My only beef is the missing Play store button at the top right corner of the app list
There is the launcher extracted from Nexus 5

Hi,
Is anyone using the new Google experience launcher (on KitKat 4.4), if so when you rotate the device so the home screen is in landscape mode do you have the top row of app icons hidden under the Google search bar.
I have cleared data and cache for the launcher and Google search app (the two apps needed for the new launcher) but still have the problem.
The search app is the official update from the play store and the launcher app I sideloaded.

I've been getting this issue as well. I believe in landscape mode, the search bar is not supposed to be visible (or at least not supposed to be a bar) and to fit in with the animation, it is supposed to glide off the top of the screen.
But I wouldn't know how to fix this.
new BUG!!

Hi guys,
Now that bug has been fixed with new 0.10 APK of the Launcher and new Google Now but...
now there's a new several bug:
The icon in lower right angle of the App Dock is disappearing on every reboot, hopefully that BigG will fix this ASAP.
thank you in advance for any extra effort
bye
Guys the launcher is designed for necus 5 only. Untill google decide to let other devices have it ull always find some stupid bug.
Please ignore my spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.
Don't get me wrong.... I love Google search, but how do I get rid of the search bar from every screen? I can't drag it away. Is there a menu setting somewhere I'm missing?
Get a new Launcher i.e. Nova, very stock like but no Google Search bar, only bad part is that there's no "Now" Page to the left. GNL editor isnt update for Marshmallow yet I dont think since we dont have xposed on M.

Ah yes..... Dummy me didn't think that Google now launcher would of course be the stock launcher for a Nexus. Face palm. Might have to try out Nova. I haven't used a different launcher since my Droid Incredible days.
Question is in the subject.
I'm running a custom ROM (Syberia). I'm glad I can turn off the Google App, which by default shows up to the left of the home screen, activated by a swipe.
I'd like to replace in this space the third-party SmartNews, which I prefer to the info I can get from Google App..
Does anybody know how to make this happen?
I'm also running Magisk, so if there's a Magisk module that does this, I'd like to know.
Thanks.

I think there was a way to do this with root but as I'm on stock I just use Nova Launcher so I could add a widget to left screen & set home screen to right or center screen
