[Android Central Question]

Want to reorganize my screen, but can only put apps in that section below the home icon. Want that bottom bar to be gone so the whole screen is customizable. It's the bar with the phone/texting apps

Which phone you have , if you provide a screenshot.

Galaxy s10e. Sorry just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of that space at the bottom. Wanna move everything one lower

[cyrus h]

Not the navigation bar just clarifying

[cyrus h]

I can't put the Google search bar here is why

[Javier P]

Do you get the remove option after you long press that search bar?

[cyrus h]

I'll long press it, get the remove option. Try to move it in that area and it won't be there. I'll let go and it just goes back to the original location. I moved the phone and camera apps out of the spot and I thought the area would disappear but it's still the favourites tray for every screen

[mustang7757]

Someone had this issue, got to remember the fix

[cyrus h]

Yeah I've tried googling it, just a weirdly worded question and couldn't find anything. Let me know if someone remembers. Thanks

You didn't lock the home screen ?
Long press your home screen and tap home screen settings > home screen lock is not toggled on?

[cyrus h]

Nope its toggled off. Usually it comes like this where every home screen has the favourite apps. But I just want that bar gone so I can have each page fully customizable

[mustang7757]

Try 2 things , restart your phone first see if it works , if not long press the Google app >info> clear carche,clear data ,force close

Tried both, still no. I tried other widgets in that area too and still nothing. Gotta be some setting that I'm missing to hide it. Not sure

I hope I can remember the fix for this , another user had this issue was simple fix

[cyrus h]

Like on my apps screen it's full screen with the page indicator at the bottom. There's a setting for a home screen only where all the apps are on the home screen but not vice versa.

What's that wrench on your status bar next to the time?

[cyrus h]

Just a notification from Google for Samsung notes for access security check

Oh ok, did you download any applications like good lock or similar might affect this , I dont remember but did you say this is the stock launcher?

[cyrus h]

Yes just stock with Samsung. No the phone is really new I only have just started downloading apps. All settings are pretty basic

[B. Diddy]

This is the other thread where I saw that issue, but it had to do with ADW Launcher, not the stock launcher: https://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ml#post6544317

If the stock Samsung launcher doesn't give you the option of getting rid of the Favorites Tray at the bottom, then consider installing a 3rd party launcher like Nova, which should allow you to get rid of it altogether.

[chanchan05]

Stock Samsung launcher doesn't let you get rid of the dock at the bottom. You need a third party launcher to do that.

Are you trying to put the Google search bar at the bottom where the phone,message,camera icons were? If so you cant like the others mentioned you need a different launcher
I'm under the impression you cant move the Google search bar or delete it ?

[cyrus h]

Yes, sorry apologies for the confusion. Thank you I will try a different launcher
