I accidentally upgraded my d851 to CM13 last week (didn't read version number before updating). After much fiddling around, I got it installed and working. Today I updated again to the latest nightly, and now the app drawer has a pointless search bar taking up space at the top and I can't see how to make it go away. Any help would be appreciated
Get a custom launcher, boom

An option to disable the search bar seems to have been added in the latest nightly.
Definitely way better now.

Hey,
I've still got my forum training wheels on, and so I'll just put this Q here (rather than the directly related thread).
I've seen a few people ask this, but haven't yet found a conclusive answer.
I use my TF with this ROM and think it's great, not had any issues to speak of. However, I did love the HC/ICS (4.1) screen layout, where the notifications were in the bottom right along with the clock etc. There was no status bar at the top and Nav buttons were in the lower left. My question is... Is it possible to get this back, whilst still using the 4.2 ROM?
Hopefully somebody knows the answer....
I understand that this would require 4.1 launcher to be ported to 4.2, but I could be wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I have that tablet running that ROM, but I've gotten used to 4.2 and haven't looked for a way to change it.
You should ask this in the TF101 forums.
I'm not sure how much a launcher could really do, but I'd Google "get back tablet layout in 4.2" or something to start checking it out on my own.
I'm not sure this is that easy. I use Apex launcher on that tablet and ROM and the layout doesn't change. I'm thinking that's a deeper layer than a launcher works with. I think you'd need a ROM with that baked in.

Hi Pennycake,
Thanks for the reply!
I've done lots of forum and Google hunting, but had little success...!
I've no grumbles using the phablet style layout. I just think that it was neater having everything on the navbar (tablet style).
I'll keep on looking and maybe stumble over something.
Cheers
Impossible...!?
So this is looking like it's not really possible without work being done to the SystemUI.
Withing the Eos Control Centre (This comes as part of the TeamEOS 4 ROM for TF101), there is a tablet option, but this leaves the status bar at the top.
I'll keep digging, but i won't hold my breath!!
Case closed...
Sweeeetttt...!!!
News just in...

Well yeah, we still have the code for tabletUI in EOS4 too.
Just that it has not been updated at all and is completely out of sync with all the EOS specific modifications, so most likely will crash.
But I might have a look at either bringing TabletUI back or implementing a new navbar from scratch to go with the phabletui.
That way we get rid of the navbar lag.
I'm also hopping that having to dig through the code even more with cornerstone, I could spot something.
But I've been thinking more and more about rewriting part of the window manager.
The original google code is Sh*t, and the more I look at it the more I come to the conclusion that PhabletUI is not made to work correctly on big screen / tablets.
On top of that code there's the EOS customizations which just make things more complex.
With cornerstone it's adding another spaghetti layer on top of the google spaghetti pile.
So yeah *headache*.
But yep I would say that the way PA has done it and rewriting part of the window manager & policy is the good approach.
Maybe I'll just resume work on Phubuntu instead too, and make a real multiboot that doesn't require flashing all the time.
We might benefit more from that, and it will have multiwindow support
Ahh so many things and so little time ;P

Problems with nightly ROM 111
I have a TF101 and finally decided to root and install the JB ROM. I started with EOS JDQ39 Nightly 108 and gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b. This worked fine but when I updated to the nightly 111 I noticed that I Google play was not working. I would click on the app and it would start to load but disappear. It appears that I am not logged in anymore because gmail does not work either. I have tried to delete data from the gmail app and google play store from settings but the did not work. I have tried installing gapps again. Does not work. I tried another gapps, gapps-jb-20130301-signed and that just freezes my tablet on the EeePad screen.
Any ideas on how to get signed in on the tablet without a factory reset?
The Multi power reboot menu mod for the Stock N5 image is fantastic. There's one other tiny mod that I sorely miss from Shiny on my GNex:
"Kill All Recent Apps Mod - Places a small button in the bottom left corner of the Recent Apps screen that allows you to remove all of your recent apps from the list with a single tap."
I've seen someone else mention some ROM that has such a feature . . . but part of my joy in owning a Nexus is running a very-nearly-stock version of Android, with a couple of minor tweaks or mods to add or change things I want.
I'd be very grateful if someone whipped up a version of this mod for Stock N5s.
This would indeed be a very awesome mod, second vote!
Yes, they have this option for notifications, why not in recent apps? CM does have this.
+3
If you run cataclysm ROM it has this feature. It pretty much is stock ROM with a bunch of needed/useful options. I've been running build "Nov 20, 2013 Stable" as my daily and no real issues yet. Definitely worth checking out.

I would love this on stock. My stock room runs smoother than the cataclysm rom. Scrolling is slightly better. So does anybody have a flashable zip?

Or wait for xposed and gravity box
I agree, I really want to keep stock rooted on my N5 with add on mods. If any developer can throw one of these out, that would be like O M G; T Y!?
that option is included in most custom roms
Current/updated Gravity Box has it; not all GB features work, but some do.
See top right.
Well, it's still halfway into the status bar, but it can still be used somewhat.
GravityBox does this. Works great.

I found this app yesterday, and I love it.
It is like pie controls for your unrooted Note 4.
One hand, one swipe access to recent tasks and people, favorite apps and toggles.
It works flawlessly and looks cool as well. Check it out. It's free.
Lazy swipe, ONE HAND and ONE SWIPE,do whatever you want!
Slide out the "Lazy Swipe" from your screen's left or right bottom corner in any situation, you could:
1. Find and open your most frequently used applications without any settings;
2. Find and open your newly installed or recently used application, no longer need to scrolling in your many application list;
3. Switch on and off the commonly used general settings, such as wifi, bluetooth, flashlight etc...
Since this is my first post, I can't post the link to the Play Store for it, or a review of it that led me to it in the first place, but it's "Lazy Swipe".
Loving it! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks for posting!

Super super slow app
I have tried it on z1 compact running cm12.
They changed the name to Omni Swipe. About to try it now.
EDIT: I'm loving this app. I don't even flip screens much anymore. Very easy to use. Thanks.
you know pie launcher can be ran on stock phones now too
so you dont need to be root just sayin
Has anyone using Omni Swipe been having any network issues when trying to download a theme through the app settings? Lately, every time I try to download my favorite theme, or search for a new one, it keeps telling me there's something wrong with my network when everything else is working fine. All I want to do is reapply the 'Hola Awakens' theme I have on my Tab 3, which is also having the same network issue using the same app, but I can't find the install location for Omni. If I could find it, I could probably just copy the theme there. Anyway, the rest of the app works fine, aside from that pesky network thing. Any thoughts?
Ok guys !
This is my first post ever - so I apologize if it's in the wrong place.
I'm running Nova Launcher Prime 4.0.2 on a Droid Turbo (Verizon). I bought the launcher to remove the Google Persistent Search Bar (which I HATE). I did it, but this newest version seems to have relocated the search bar, from the home screen, to being visible when I click on the "recent apps" button (lower right hand multi-window looking button on device).
Ugghhh ... cant attach a pic - OR post a link to show exactly what I'm talking about ?!?!??! Hope I've been clear enough....
I've been fumbling around this phone for WEEKS trying to figure out how to KILL Google once and for all - but just can't seem to figure it out.
HHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP
afaik, recent apps is a rom thing - doesn't have anything to do with launchers...
only search bar that has connections to Nova launcher is the homescreen one - and that one can be removed even with a free version of Nova...
So what do I do ?

Ok - so what do I do to get rid of that monster ?!
Ermm, I'm not sure if this is nova. You can just drag and remove the wretched search bar widget. Not sure what's up with the recent apps stuff.

i don't know... i never saw a google search bar in recent apps on any device/roms so far...
i'm not familiar with motorola and their roms (i use LG G2) but i'm sure there is a sub-forum for your device here on XDA - try searching...
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize what section I was in. Can a mod move this to the Nexus 5 Q&A section? Thanks!
EDIT 2: Next time I'll use the search feature, as I see someone else posted asking and the answer is it cannot be changed.
So the other night I went through my nightly ritual of opening the Play Store and checking for app updates. There were a few, so I just went and said to update them all.
The next morning I went to open an app and saw the app drawer now is one big scroll page instead of swiping left and right to change app drawer pages.
I don't like this. Is there a way to change how the app drawer functions? I looked around but didn't see anything.
