Maybe this has been asked before but i cant seem to find any answers. I would like to remove the search bar and home keys from the bottom of the home screen. When I am in an app ( any except google maps) they disappear off the screen and you need to swipe up to bring them back, I would like that to be the same with the home screen and maps. I am running android 10 beta build 5 if that has anything to do with it.

After watching a demo of the new BlackBerry 10 today, it occured to me that Android doesn't need the navigation bar taking up screen real estate. The back button can be replaced by swipe from left edge into center (similar to pulling down the notification bar on top). Swiping from bottom up brings up the menus. And swiping from right to left can either go home or with a second up or down flick go to recent apps (or switch these two).
Once this is implemented, manufacturers can get rid of the bottom capacitive buttons, increasing screen size while keeping phone physical size constant. Android can finally get rid of the navigation bar that wastes so much space.
Make it happen I'll test but I like my soft keys

Well, that's a thought. Personally, I'd just put the softkeys into the statusbar and get rid of the navigation bar altogether.

Apparently the Ubuntu smartphone OS has all these edge swipe gestures in the plans:

Some how I have removed my camera short cup from the home screen and I do not know how to bring it back. Any help will be appreciated!
It's not in the app drawer? Find it in the app drawer and touch and hold it until it moves it to the home screen. If you don't see it in your app drawer, go to settings/apps to see if it's still in your installed apps list.
Apps just don't disappear randomly.
I can still see the APK but I can't bring it to the home screen, if I use the search function I can find it is just I can bring it from there to the home screen. I know I didn't disappear , it was my daughter or me

Hold down on it and drag it up to the top of the screen.
Hi,
I am trying to remove the search bar at the top of my screen but for whatever reason it doesn't give me any options anywhere to do so. I don't have google installed. The search bar does nothing when I touch it. I can't move it around and long pressing the home screen in to the settings doesn't give me any checkbox to remove it from the screen. Very annoying and I just want it gone to at least use the space for something else.
Thank you
I have the same problem
Lineage 16, s4 mini i9195i

Is it not under Home screen settings?
I apologize for not closing this! It was fixed in a later build couple months back. No more issues. Thank you.
I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
Hello, sir. I am in Android 11 and have the latest Google Keyboard app. A back button appears at the bottom of my screen. It creates trouble while in landscape mode. I use Gesture Navigation option so no back, home, recent button. I like to view in full-screen. Please see the attached picture. It takes a lot of space and can't type so well. I am not used to type like that.
