Ok, couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, but I hope I'm posting it in the right forum...
Basically, without removing the actual app, I want to be able to remove the icon for it from the app drawer...
I'm sure some of you have noticed, that when you download the key for some software, you end up with two icons - one for the key, and one for the program... honestly, it's just silly... how can I remove one of them...?
Anyone any ideas...?
Thanks!

You can do this with Adavanced Launcher.
Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

Thanks, but then why does it have an EDIT button? Just curious.
Thanks again!

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.
Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.
Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time
If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....
install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

Hi all,
I tried searching the forums and google on this but couldn't find an answer.
I've included a picture just to give you guys a visual. (Guess I can't show you since I'm a noob)
It's the dot(s) that is an indicator when you have 1 or more home screens.
My question is - is there a way to remove the dot(s)/indicator? By way of an app or custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I understand what you are saying a custom launcher like apex or nova should take care of it. They will have a bar, but you can hide it.

Is it possible to hide the dots/panel indicator on a stock ROM?

Those will work on the stock rom, but not the stock launcher. I guess I should mention you may not be able to use touchwiz widgets with them. But to keep your launcher and rom but remove those would involve code manipulation. I'm not saying no one has done it, but I haven't stumbled upon that type of tweak.

My phone icon is still on the lock screen, when I slide our up the dialer does not appear unless I hit "emergency dialer". I remember that setting from Kit Kat but its no longer in the lock screen settings...unless I missed it.

Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

I am not rooted but don't have substratum, maybe that is why

Waow.. so that means I will have to use the stock launcher to use the transparent navbar on my home screen? Worst update they've made..
