Is there any way to remove the persistent google search bar on stock rom without uninstalling the app? Thank you

Never mind I realize now that its part of google launcher app. I need to use a different launcher. Feel free to close thread

Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.
You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)

Proper grammar next time please.
You cannot disable the search bar. If you want it gone, install a custom launcher like Nova or Apex.
What?
From the parts what I can understand.. You want to remove the persistent search bar? Get a third party launcher like apex or nova... Or wait for a ROM.

There is a pretty simple way to go in these launcher settings.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything)
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home - com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActiv ity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. If you change your settings they will keep even after restarting your phone.

Those just look like a non polished interface for your custom launcher. My guess is that they aren't LG launcher specific, they are Launcher PRO specific...
In which case you're telling us that a custom launcher has more features than the integrated one, which isn't really news to anyone on XDA mate.

look at the name of the shortcut.. it's LG launcher 2 hidden menu.. so yeah its a stock launcher hidden menu. you can use anycut or something else to launch different shortcuts that are otherwise hidden, but he's using a different launcher to launch the hidden shortcut.

Check that it is right one that you try to launch. There are 2 pretty similar names. Another one doesn't work.

I'm sure. I tried all of them.
Is there anything in the hidden menu worth doing this for?

I'm getting to the end of step two then when I try to get into the settings I get this force close when I tap that home icon that you see at the top of my homescreen (That's what the activities widget turned into). I'm on a rooted stock D801 on T-mobile

I'm only interested in changing a few settings on the LG launcher, does anybody know of a way to do basic stuff like change the alignment from 5x5 to something else?
*EDIT* found it! got it to work. you go into Home > the second hiddenmenu thing, not the first one you see.
As you can see at the bottom, no names on my dock icons. Feature_hotseat_notext did that

Hi,
there'a a way to set status bar trasparent for all wallpaper?
Don't work for me.

Something i missed?

Motox Dev. Stock 4.4.3
On the all apps tab i can see one native app called sound recorder, version 4.4.3-23.
Yet it is nowhere to be found. It's not disabled. Already tried the stock and an alternative home screen app.
Also tried to add a activity shortcut on hone screen to see if it appeared on the list. Nothing.
Where is it?

Have you tried to see on settings => Applications
Normally you will find all of your apps into your device.
If you need more technical infos go to Moto X Q&A
That's exactly my point.
I can see the stock rom sound recorder app in settings-applications-all.
But nowhere else!
Sent from my XT1053 using XDA Free mobile app
There is no sound recorder stand alone app. The sound recorder app they see in settings, apps, all....is just a sub-app of Google, for Google now and whatnot.
Its the same on moto x and N5.

Hey guys be nice together.. I understand everyone has their different opinions.. If you don't like the update you can unistall Google app it is system app..
If you have root download system app remover > grant access > unistall Google.. You can find older version on Internet just Google it.. If you want to install previous version..

understood, and you're right - so perhaps I across a bit harsh on my initial reply, so I apologize to bigv5150 for that.
however, my point was that I really enjoy the google search launcher, just don't like the latest update with the all white search bar nor the all white app drawer - and just wanted to share that with others and see if there was a way to make them transparent again. fortunately, I found the solution in the Xposed GEL app - which of course, requires the Xposed module installed, which also requires root.
after installing the xposed gel app, I was able to remove the search bar all together and change the app drawer background color scheme.

You can uninstall the update putting it back to the version you had before the update. That's what I did. You keep the previou search bar. That's what I said, don't read more into it.
