Disabling swipe up

[Frank999]

Is there a way to disable swipe up for Google Now. While playing Temple Run 2 occasionally swiping up to make the character jump causes Google Now to open which is very frustrating. I don't wan't to disable Google Now altogether, just the swipe up action. Using stock launcher.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Turning off Google Now stops the display of cards and returns Google Now settings to their defaults.

Open the Google Now screen.

Touch the Search bar at the top of a Home screen, or swipe up from the lower left corner of your tablet while viewing any screen.
Touch Menu> Settings > Google Now, then slide the switch at the top right to Off.
In the Turn off Now cards dialog, decide whether you also want to turn off Location History. If you do, check Also turn off Location history.

If you're rooted, you might want to try GMD gesture control, it has an option to hide the status bar and nav buttons, which will stop you accidentally activating Google Now, though I think this feature requires the paid version.

I don't have the Nexus 4, but it works nicely on my Nexus 7, so it should work.

If your running a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod you can activate extended desktop which hides the navigation bar.

If you don't want to root or install a custom rom, maybe try swiping from the middle of the screen instead? I've put in countless hours in Temple Run 2, and never had this problem.

I had this exact same problem but with GoogleSearch (I dont use GoogleNow).

If you are using Cyanogenmod, you can disable the "Google Search" app and then go to System Settings - Launcher - Homescreen - and un-check "Search bar (enable persistent search bar)" to remove the Google Search bar on the home screen that is now useless.. Now when I swipe up from the bottom of the screen, it does what you would expect.

you can replace it using this app but removing it wont be possible without root https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...om.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher&token=suehzSi4

I ended up using this FREE app which I really like...it does require root though:

[edit]: Whoops, I used it on my n7...not sure about my n4 (it says it's for tablets and there are some disclaimers about using it on phones).

This app does just that. It doesn't disable Google Search, it just takes place of the swipe intent, so (i think) it's perfect for what you want! No root or anything required!

If you have Nova Prime you can customize the gestures.
