Location of the persistent search bar in ICS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please READ people!!! I revived this post to clarify: I'm NOT asking about system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk that is the Google search WIDGET!
I want to know where the persistent search bar system files are located in ICS so I can add the Google-logo again! The new persistent search bar is too empty for my taste...

Anyone?

I believe Google removed it from the quicksearchbar, it's not caused by a custom ROM.

I don't think so. When I flash the 4.0.3 OTA, it's there. With the ROM in my sig it's gone. Just need the location/path so I can get it from the OTA...
Anyone?

Hm, strange.. I read around and that's what most people said.
I could be wrong, though..
Here's the location; system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
It's part of the GApps.

That is the Quicksearch WIDGET you're pointing to. I'm looking for the persistant UI searchbox. Could it be inside SystemUI.apk maybe?!

Damn, I didn't notice it was gone until reading this. Now I want it back.

yes, you can remove it , but you can not use the empty place

BUMP; Edited my 1st post in this thread...please read!

Well why not just use a custom launcher? I'm using Nova Launcher and the search bar has the google logo. Take a look at the screenshot below.
Also you can disable the persistent search bar, makind that space usable, and add the quick search widget which looks the same and that you can move.

In my first post I stated I DO NOT want the WIDGETs location or to use the widget or any launcher...*sigh*
Where are the system files/.png icons of the persistent searchbar located in the OS files. I can mod them myself...

Great job, these icons look cool. Not trying to be picky, but you spelled "dialer" wrong (dailer).
ouch thanks.
I'm still new to customizing and such, how do I put these icons on my phone?

If your running a rooted phone with a custom ROM, you should be able to hold down the icon until a little edit icon appears, and you can select its icon from there. Be sure to place your icons folder on the root of your SD card.
Yes my phone is rooted and I see the Edit option at the bottom when I click and hold an icon but the gear symbol next to the word Edit is greyed out and won't allow me to drag the icon to it.

[REQ] SGS3-like Digital Weather Clock

I would like to make a request for a clock widget similar to the one shown in the galaxy s3 picture below or possibly one similar to the lg ICS weather clock widget shown in the video below that at 2:17

I would be gracious to anybody who could create or find a widget very close to these. I do happen to have a copy of the lg weather widget but I can only use it on the lg launcher, which, although is cool, is not what I want it on.
go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387518
and ask someone to link you to a SGS3 type clock. Many people have released it.
Unfortunately, the weather on UCCW no longer works due to google API being shut down. Any other ideas? I love the clock.
I know a modified LG weather to look like it, but clock is more left.

It depends. If you're using touchwiz5 launcher I can give you a flashable zip that has the actual clock. If not, then try something else

I am on the touchwiz launcher. And a zip would be great. The other ones I've tried force quit and say "weather main has stopped".
I'm on a rezound running sense 4.0

vs980 Transparent Nav Bar Solution

Edit:
I just used G2 Xposed and set my nav bar to 50% transparency. Done and done. If you have any questions, just ask.
--
I've read a transparent is possible with certain settings but I've also read that it is not possible. I'm half way there but I need the help of others.
Right now, I do have a transparent navigation bar on top of Nova Launcher. My only issue is the gradient behind the dock items and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Anyone else run into this issue?

VS980 - Malladus 4.2.2 - Nova Launcher - Xposed Framework w/ G2 Xposed

You'll just need to uncheck the 'show shadow' option under the desktop settings and you'll be good to go.

It has been a while since I last used Nova and the suggestion above sounds good but in case it does not solve the issue I would look at the Dock options in Nova and see is there is a transparency option there. By the way your screen looks it seems to be shaded from Nova on the Dock.

Lol no problem. Right after doing some xposed stuff I can understand not realizing it was a separate issue.

[req] notification toggles for stock roms

Guys I really need this. I am ex Samsung user so all samsung phones have this. I used to it. There are some apps on google play but they are not good at all. Can anyone do this? For dual sim support. If yes, I can share systemUI.apk. Thanks!
Open the notifications shade and click the right most button.
Sent from my XT1028 using Tapatalk
I dont think you understood what I want. That option is not so useful.
I know what you mean. AOSP has two separate tabs for notifications and quick toggles. Samsung uses an overlay called TouchWiz that, among other things, integrates these two tabs into one.

App like simi-folder - floating shortcuts?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.
