Hi, can anyone tell if the home screen search bar widget can be removed ?
Or is it permanent like the Google search pill on the pixel?

It can certainly be removed in Oxygen for the 3T so I assume it will be removable in whatever version the OP5 comes with.

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.
Hello everyone
How can i get the navigation bar to be colored like the one in the attached image
I mean with the color of the page not the color of the status bar
I need this behavior in all apps not just for google now
And with that shadow too
Any advice ?! any help ?! Any testing for a mod !?
Idk why yours isn't. Mine is like that and I haven't modded any system files or use xposed. Also have no themes currently in use

Well I'm not using Google Now. I have color in all my notifications when I pull down my notification drawer like Gmail, You tube, Textra Whatsapp. Idk, maybe I'm missing what you mean. My notifications have as much color in them as the pic you posted.

The pic i posted isn't my notification bro
It's the google app by swiping from the left on home screen
I need the dynamic navigation bar that links the color of navigation bar to the page not the one that links the navigation bar to the status bar
Thanks for your time
This probably sounds like such a dumb question, but how can I get the google search bar on the home screen, to be the slide over style like the pixel so it isn't taking up so much space. I have Google Assistant installed, and I don't see a setting in Google app to make it the smaller icon
You need to have the beta version of Nova Launcher installed, then select the Google pill as the Search bar style. Check out the video in this guide...

You need the leaked Nexus launcher zip. Works like a charm, search for it on these forums. Anyway, it's much less complicated than the approach below.

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
