Possible to remove categories at top of Chromecast Google TV home screen? - Google TV General

I'm sure there's reasons not to just wondering if theres a way, root or not, to remove these categories/links at the top of Chromecast Google TV home screen?

Did you figure out how to do this?

Under the settings menu, click on Accounts & Sign in. Then select your Google account. Scroll down and toggle on the switch for Apps Only Mode.

Nice find! Going to try it on Hisense TV, my hope is to just have apps instead of all that noise.

The one you linked to is just an explanation of how to use the graph search. It does not actually let you search Facebook!
deleted from google play
It is not available anymore on google play
Did anyone have the latest version or know a similar application like this one?

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
only thing i can thnk of...wifi calling?

Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

What is the circle "X" icon on my home screen?

If link not working >>>>>>>>
I don't think this is a default notification.
You can find all default notifications here http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e.../samsung_galaxy_s8_s8_plus_ug/status_bar.html
I think that the 'N' comes from a third-party app. Have you installed any apps lately?

I think he's talking about the icon hovering over his home button.
You shouldn't ask the same question in multiple places on the same forum.
It looks like the circle and X you drag chat heads to to remove them off the screen when you're using Facebook Messenger.

Im using Nova launcher, i was talking about the "x" that pop up on my home button.
Ps: i'm using AT&T not sprint

Keyboard Missing

Since the last update, I've been unable to use the keyboard on my watch. When pressing the keyboard icon I'm only given the option to write on the screen. Was it taken away in the update or am I missing something?
Go to keyboard settings and disable "handwritting"

You must have the 2 kind of keyboard installed in "Settings", "Personalize", "Input" and you can switch between installed keyboard by pressing the "world" icon when the keyboard popup. (or uninstall the Handwritting input mode)

Ok, no discussion on google chrome group tabs?

I just uninstalled the chrome updates, back to normal.
I am very sick and tired searching solution to this ridiculous change and hours later find out google removed the flag options. So i reverted back to
