Title: Removing the "Search"-Widget - how? - Resolved
Post by: Eldkatten on June 06, 2018, 02:34:08 am
Hello,

it's a real pain with any Android device I had so far: removing that big "Search"-widget on the home-screen. I don't use it anyway, and it takes away alot of valuable space. In many device I can remove it like any other widget, just swipe it into the paperbin, on others there are some settings neccessary (like deactivating Google search) and a reboot. Not on the Gemini, though. I have tried all the things I tried on other devices, but the stupid, now disfunctional widget stays stubbornly on the homescreen.

You know what I mean? On the attached screenshot it's the big white recangle with "Suchen" (because it's german) in it.

So, does anyone know how to remove that thing?

Kind regards

Hello,

now I had to do what I had to do on an Android 6 device before, that is installing a different launcher. I chose "Nova Launcher", and now I got rid of that widget.

Kind regards
