hey guys im sure its been asked before and been answered many times but somethings going on with the search function of this site its not giving any results that help
i want to remove that system tray and the 2 soft key buttons and the bottom bar ( all the stuff found at the bottom of my screen) i dont want to lose the functions of the keys i just dont need to see them there cuz i already know what they do and i think the screen real estate could be better utilized by LG menu which im trying to use

check out the cabs provided by Spencepu3 ( 4th post from the top)
to remove the softkeys you need a program called dcinobar.exe. Once you download it just put in on your device somewhere and make a shortcut to put in your windows/startup folder and it will run every time you start your device. to get your softkeys back just delete it
And to remove the tray icons ( namely the battery and wifi icon in the tray) go to windows/startup using file explorer and delete wifinit and initray that should get rid of them.

anh lemme make it easy heres the link to DciNoBar

I think epimazzo may have included this option in his KhanX lite V3.1 rom. I am using the rom now - and there is no bottom tray or soft keys.
Either that - or I did something wrong during install.
The soft keys are still working - but do not appear on screen.

[Q] How to remove Home shortcut from bottom of notifications !

As the title says & attached screenshot shows ...
When using another launcher I get a home shortcut show up in bottom of notification pull down & it takes you to Home screen & switches to original launcher which is a huge pain in the ass if you hit it accidentally or a friend fiddles with the device.
Any ideas !! ??

Nobody up to speed on this !

[Q] Lock screen management

Hi guys
Just a reall quick question
I have the [ROM] CM10.1-RC2 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [May-17] installed on my sensation
I was playing around with the lock screen and noticed you can add different functions to new windows (swipe left or right)
I added a few but now have an issue where the main lock screen now is a short cut to my torch and not the normal weather / time screen
What I have found is sometimes I have unlocked the phone in my pocket by mistake and the torch has been activated, not good for battery life
My questions are:
1) Is it easy to define which is the default lock screen window (so I can change it back to weather / time), or
2) How can I delete short cut windows that I have added. (I am not talking about the icons you can swipe to)
Thanks for any help, suggestions
You guys rock

hi, just for lockscreen, Go to settings -> security -> pattern
Make your own pattern then dont forget it... Your phone will never Unlock itself..
For your second problem i dont know what to do, sorry

For your second question, touch and hold the screen you want to delete, and then swipe up on the delete button to delete that frame.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cheers 318 that did the trick
For others,from the LOCK screen if you press on the screen and hold it a recycle bin appears at the top, you can then drop your newly added lock screens to the bin
problem sorted i guess,
thx for your help

What happened to my homescreen?

My Samsung unlocked S7 just received a Nougat update. Looks ncie but one big issue I am having right away (and feel stupid I cant figure out):
I can no longer remove App Shortcut Icons from my home screen (using Apex Launcher). Used to be I long press on the icon and have an option to drag to "Remove".
Now when I long press I have option to Uninstall the app, but not to just remove the icon from my home screen pages. Any help?
EDIT/UPDATE: Totally weird. The "Remove" option has not reappeared and I can again delete icons from the home screen.

Can't add Google or Chrome shortcut to home screen

I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.

Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
