[Q]Remove magnifier glass on topleft of homescreen - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know how to remove the magnifying glass on the top left of the homescreen on a Tab2?
It's used for Google Search, I already disabled the apk but the magifier stays on the same place with no purpose.

I have the exact same problem too.
I have removed Google Search via RootAppDelete. Yet the old-google search magnifier icon remains.
Even when I re-install Google Search Apk, it simply duplicates instead using back old magnifier glass.
Anyone has any idea how to delete this? (any specific rooted sys apk that is causing it?)
Thanks

Plenty of baked-in TW features have been hacked, modded and changed for other Samsung devices so there's no reason why this should be too much of a problem, it just takes someone with enough time, motivation and knowledge to do it (I lack all 3!).

hi,
i solved mine when i uninstalled "photo editor" which i installed recently. whew!

History Eraser App?

Does anyone have the history eraser app?...I stumbled onto it yesterday in the android market. Rooted my Evo today, and I cannot find that app anywhere. Did some searching online, got the QR code to a link to the app in the market, and it seems they pulled it. Hoping someone had a zip of it, so I could install it manually.
Thanks in advance

App in the Market is called:
9s-Weather (with widget)
Search for that and you should get it.
If not, search for and install barcode scanner, if you don't have it already and then scan the image below with it and go to browser from the resulted options.

Vibrant Home Dock "ported"

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:
http://db.tt/bFXrBWr
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.

Widget

How's this widget called?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I accidentally deleted it and didn't find it after.
It's called Timescape
I think it is;
com.sonyericsson.advancedwidget.timescape - (Timescape Widget)
i think the apk for it is TimescapeWidget.apk
I think he means he deleted it from the home screen.
Yes, it's Timescape.
It also will not work if you've deleted the extentions to run it.

lol. I think your maybe right . I skiped over the "How's this widget called?" part and only read the "I accidentally deleted it and didn't find it after" and just presumed he ment uninstalled.

Also, to note, the TimeScape widget and extensions are part of the SonyEricsson 'enhancements' that they add to the phone UI and framework. This is not present on the R800x (US CDMA VZW version) although some of the hooks are still present. (I know the poster is non-US, but I figured I would chip in for those who are looking for info about this service/widget/framework)
Found it. Yes, I deleted it from my screen and had a hard time finding it, never thought it was Timescape (it should've been called something like "Notifications").

[Q] JB 4.1 / Modify MMS.APK so keyboard does not overlap latest sms?

Hey guys!
I've got a JB 4.1 ROM on my device (well, all of the devices released with it, anyways, as it's stock) which has a peculiar problem in the SMS app. Watch this:
( http://i.imgur.com/ZsCvsIL.png )
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See? the keyboard "overlaps" the latest two SMS. Watch closely the highlighted SMS, notice it doesn't appear on the wrong behaviour comparison? I want to archieve the behaviour in the rightmost screenshot (this was photoshopped )
Now, this isn't a "normal" behaviour as I didn't see it happen on ICS (previous stock ROM, too). This behaviour also doesn't happen on other apps which use the keyboard, such as Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp. I've also tried other keyboards but the same problem appears.
I'm really tempted on editing the MMS.apk but I don't know where to start, it could be a .xml editing or it could be a .smali editing, I dunno.
I've uploaded the MMS.apk in case any of you wanna take a look at it - you don't have to, though, but at least if you can provide some guidelines or hints on how should I proceed, that'll help at least.
I've done some googling too and haven't found anything relevant, only this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/112623-keyboard-covers-latest-sms-messaging-app.html but it's for MIUI and also the file was hosted on megaupload which we all know got KIA so...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
- DARKGuy
Bump!... though I hate bumping, but has nobody looked into this? I've read it happens on other JB-based ROMs...
Bump bumpity bump-a-bump
