New Go Launcher - App Draw Question

sic0048 · May 10th, 2012, 10:22 PM

I feel silly for having to ask this, but has anyone found a way to make the new buttons disappear from the Go Launcher app drawer? Go Launcher's buttons duplicate my phone's Home, Search, and Settings buttons which are located just below Go Launcher's buttons. It is a total waste of space and it looks stupid!

Can any help?

Thanks,

Can't see as how it can be a waste of space when that spot would be empty otherwise. However, no I don't think it can be removed due to the direction Android is going to. ICS has full touch screen interface now, and you need the menu button on the screen from then on.

I run ICS. My point is that there are already those buttons on the screen (not hard buttons, but soft buttons on the screen). You could get another row of icons where the buttons are located.

It seems like a total waste of space IMHO. There is absolutely no reason I need those buttons. It worked just fine without them and now all of a sudden we get an update that includes these buttons. It don't need them and I don't want them. At least give me an option to remove them from the screen.

I got fed up enough with the recent "improvements" that I downloaded an old release from their website and installed that.

I would honestly say that they should straight up get rid of all those buttons down there including the home button they had prior to the update and add another row of icons. Because for me i juts hit the hard key for home... and i know even with ICS phones with soft keys you will always have the soft home key. So having a duplicate on the screen is just pointless.

Yeah, I agree with you! Seems like a waste of space.

Well, Launcher Pro has an option to remove the home button in App drawer, basically the entire screen is just the scrollable app grid.
