How do I delete the google search box and the five icons at the bottom of every screen in 4.0? I HATE that clutter. I do not want android to decide which icons I should have on my screens...
 
I got everything deleted BUT the google search and the Apps icon. I can live with the Apps icon but I really want that google search gone. It is clutter and redundant to have it on all screens.

There are two ways I know of.
1. Go into manage apps and go to all apps. Find Google search. Click it and then click disable. This will remove it from the homescreens but you also will no longer be able to use Google search at all.

2. Go to the play store and download a custom launched. The two that I recommend are for a stock ICS experience. One is called Apex launched and my personal favorite is Nova launcher. In the settings for these, you can go in and remove the search bar on the homescreens while still keeping Google search active.

I hope this helps!
