[Q] Show arrow data connection without root - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello..
I need to help.
How to show arrow data connection, hiden separator and hiden google quick search widget in home screen without root?
Thanks.

To hide the Google search bar use another launcher like nova but for the mods of the status bar you need root and xposed at least if you don't want to flash another Rom. Good luck

I use Nova instead Google and I think is better, because you can use all Google has plus a lot of other things google doesnt. You should give a try to each one and judge by yourself. Nova is the most stock likely and supports icons and fonts, also there a lot of launchers with specific functions, like Themer, Go launcher, etc

Could I change theme in Nova Launcher like other launcher?
Coz I doesn't see menu to change theme.

There are no themes in nova launcher like themes for cm like you can change everything even the UI. you can install "themes" via pay store and will change icons and fonts but not UI. Give a try

Ps you can change the "themes" in the menu "appearance/icons". After install one pack of icons/fonts you will find them there

Is it possible to use GO widgets without GO Launcher

Hi,
I really like the GO widgets like the calendar and facebook ones. However, I'm starting to like QQ Launcher. I know that you install the widgets seperately and they still show up in my apps when I uninstall GO Launcher. HOwever they aren't showing up in my widgets list
Thanks

They dont show up in your widget list because they are made to work with Go Launcher, its the same with the Go Launcher themes, even when you uninstall the Launcher they are still there but you cannot use them.
It is the same with every launcher. Non of the launcher widgets will work with another launcher. I would check android widget pro

Thank you for that link, it's still not as nice as Go Calendar Widget but it is much better then the stock widget. Thank you again. :good:

Translucent status bar

I'm looking to get a translucent status bar on the homescreen, using Go Launcher.
Am rooted, but don't seem to be able to find any mods that can do it? Preferably would like to be able to choose %wise how translucent it is.
Here is an example from the HTC One showing it, and on my S4 lockscreen it does it. But would like it on the home screen too. When i'm in apps its fine to remain black.
Anyone know?
I'm pretty sure the launcher has to support statusbar transparency, and I don't know if Go Launcher does or not. Go Launcher sucks anyway; use Nova instead.

Ah is it just part of the launcher, that makes sense then. I'll give Nova a try.
Thanks!

Well, technically, it's not part of the launcher...it's still part of the rom's system UI. But the launcher has a bit of control, and can enable or disable the transparency. When the launcher doesn't support transparency, the rom views that as "disabling" it, and the statusbar is opaque. But you get the idea.
EDIT: Wait, hold the phone. What rom are you running?

Using more then one icon pack?

I have a few icon packs that I've bought over the years. Anyway I can pick and choose what icons I want to use for my theme instead of only being forced to use one icon pack? I'm running game Vipermod and no launcher. With a launcher I can't use my HTC clock =/.
So ya =p

I use nova launcher. You can change the home screen icons individually by long pressing. I dont run viper.....you might have better luck posting in that thread.

Pretty sure you can click the icon in the viper tweaks and change them individually

You can use nova launcher and uccw with htc one m8 clock from the play store. Nova launcher allows you to use any icon from any pack you have downloaded.

Finally read the full thread. Yeah, you'll have to use Nova for that. I use UNICON because it apply a custom pack at a system level. But, since Sense come with different apks and icons, I use Nova to apply the rest or just the icons I want. I like Sense, but the BlinkFeed Launcher leave so much to be desired.
Desktop Visualizer can help you do that..

Does this change the system icon?
As in so my icons in the app drawer will also change?

No, only in the home screen.
There's no app that can modify Sense Launcher icons in the app drawer.
The Unicon beta has support for specific app icons and you can pick the icons from any installed theme.

New TouchWiz themes??

What if we use Nova Launcher but set a theme from the new TouchWiz themes... will it theme the phone dialer and other apps, or no?
I would say so. All other themes you you can get for Samsung phones through modding, romming, Wanam Xposed all work if you use Nova.
Touchwiz is only the launcher after all. The UI is spidered into lots of other stuff, so it should work.
i'm currently using nova launcher prime and yes it will change your dialer and the notification expand with all the quick settings, etc. its pretty cool using the purple theme, but i would wait until more neutural colored touchwiz themes are out, there's not many to choose from right now.
i want to add that nova launcher and the S6 is the best combination and i like how the S-Health walking widget can still be used. I remember on the S5 you couldn't use health widgets from samsung if you used a 3rd party launcher.

Only took the time to do this since you've given so much to the communty. i chose a very obvious custom theme to help everyone see what is affected after applying Nova Launcher.
Album
Notice the TouchWiz theme affects dialer, notifications/quick settings, settings menu, however it does NOT affect app drawer.
Icons, and font, also do not get affected as they are controlled by the 3rd party launcher (Nova).
I immediately reverted back to default TouchWiz theme after this..... LOL. Will be installing my favorite kovdev icon packs (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=kovdev&hl=en)
kovdev icons+nova launcher+S6 hardware = dream experience for me personally. will most likely only look into twrp recovery and xposed and nothing more for this S6.

Nova launcher is a good alternative, can use icon packs and can be setup to look the same as google launcher
Craz Basics said:
So, I really like Grace UX, yet you can't get it by theme. So I am looking for a TouchWiz launcher that is able to change icon packs. I'm a bit picky so it would have to be pretty much exactly like stock. Any help please??
If anyone knows a way to get it another way, that would be great as well!

Launcher doen not include icons, so launcher doesn't mean anything, 50% of what you want are icons, and you can change them on stock launcher only by recompiling apk, putting certain icon in it, resign it and put it in system app or priv app folder woth correct permissions.
