[Q] Shadows on top and bottom of my homescreen. Any idea what is causing them? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The picture I've attached explains it best. For comparison, I've put the original foto next to the screenshot.
You can see the upper shadow right above the clock (Minimalistic Text). The shadow on the bottom is right above the nav bar.
I'm using CM9 with Apex Launcher. No other mods regarding the homescreen.
Any ideas what is causing this and/or how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Apex/Nova all have this.
There MAY be an option to remove it...haven't dug around too much.

There is a "Hide shadows" option in the Screen settings of Apex Launcher.
Sorry for being stupid.

No, no worries.
Sorry for being so lazy not to look

Full wallpaper

I'm confused because I don't understand how to make a full scrren wallpaper.
What I mean is having the taskbar and the last "Phone" and "Programs" space buttons included with the wallpaper as background.
This makes it graeat and we realize how big the screen is.
Does anywone have a tutorial or point me with the easiest way to do it?
Thanks in advance and sorry I couldn't get it alone.

Moto dock on Go launcher?

I just installed Go Launcher Ex. Is it possible to have the normal moto dock with Go Launcher?
The normal moto dock has the blue and red buttons for dialer and contacts. I'm not very fond of the Go Launcher dock which has transparent buttons...
Help please?

Im not sure about getting the Motoblur buttons but there are plenty of themes available for GoLauncherEX. Just check out the GoStore and get another theme.
You can also simply long press on the dock icon and chose replace/Custom Icon to change the icon from the transparent ones to one of your choice, or pick default icon to choose the Apps default icon.
The more themes you have, the more icons you can pick from.
hope that helps
Stick with GoLauncher, its got so many good things
Check this out.
Thanks for your reply pprakash.
It doesn't create the desired effect . There's no option for transparent icons on GoLauncher...
Is there any way to replace the GoLauncher dock with the original Motorola dock? (3simple buttons for call,app drawer & contacts)??
The second attachement is the Transparent icons. You can replace the DOCK background with the first attachement in the post and the individual icons with the Transparent one. You need to set two places for same action. For Ex. Left two positions should be dialer and right two positions to be Contacts.
@Prakash: Dude you're a genius! Thanks to you it worked perfectly!! Now I have the same old Motorola dock with GoLauncher installed. This is awesome!
One more question: Is it possible to remove the "Home" button/icon that appears at the bottom of the app drawer? It takes up an entire row of space which could have been utilized to show more app icons. As it is I can use the capacitive button to go back to the homescreen anyway.

@gamefrk ... I am not genius. Just sharing back what I learnt here .. Regarding the Home Button .. Not yet. It can't be disabled anyway as of now. Probably you can contact GO team for that ... they may release it in future I think. The workaround I use is Vertical scrolling. This makes Home button to be un-noticed
Even I use vertical scrolling, the home button doesnt go unnoticed for me...

ADW Launcher

Couldn't find the answer, so I'm going to ask here.
I'd like to use ADW, GoLauncher, or LPP, but it puts this black bar with 3 dots at the bottom of the screen that acts as a menu button. I'm seeing people post pics of their screens and the bar isn't there.
I'm wondering, how does one go about getting rid of this awful 3 dot bar?
ThereĀ“s a patch for Sense Roms from blubber, search the apps thread here.

To disable indefinitely, if you're using a stock rooted rom, you can use this or this, depending on which version of ICS you're using.

Help getting rid of home screen pages

I removed all home screen pages on my S2 as you can see in the pic. The problem is, how do i get rid of the one white dot in the bottom of my home screen? It ruins my backgrounds and just irritates me.

Hi,
You can't get rid of that, as long Touch Wiz don't have an option do hide or change the white dots....
For that you'll need a launcher like Apex or Nova Launcher
And mate, you're posting in wrong section...

is there a different theme or launcher i could use, where everything is pretty much the same(the four bottom icons, etc.), but i can customize that dot outta there?
Apex launcher should be able to do it
New launcher.
Actually you can get rid of the page indicator, just edit the PNG file with GIMP. I just opened the files in GIMP and deleted the image and saved the transparent image.
There are four indicators in SecLauncher2.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/

That's the hard way...he need to add a transparent channel in gimp, then erase the color or he need to find a transparent icon and rename it ....
But, i wonder why touch wiz has so many lack of options....

[Q] Need some help with Huawei P8lite and Nova Launcher

Hello. I hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Xperia Z went bust after two years of faithful service and yesterday I took a risk and picked up the Huawei P8lite. The phone is absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some issues with Nova Launcher.
First off, the soft keys and notification bar aren't transparent. They are when I use the stock launcher (so the device is obviously capable of doing so), and they were on my Xperia Z using Nova Launcher. Non-transparent soft keys and notification bar makes the screen look smaller and cluttered, which utterly spoils the overall experience.
Is there a way around this? If I root the phone, can this be fixed? I have never rooted a device before so if this helps, where can I find the run-down on rooting?
Second, changing icons. When I try to change an icon on the homescreen (again, with Nova Launcher) only a handful of icons from the icon pack shows up on the list. There are clear gaps in the list where a bunch of icons should be.
Again, these were both non-issues on my Xperia Z.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these things? For the icons I realize I can use an app like Icon Changer, but with Nova Launcher I shouldn't have to. And as for the soft key and notification bar I realize I can hide them entirely, but I don't want to do that. I just want them to be transparent.
I greatly appreciate any help. I'm on Android 5.0, and I can post screenshots if needed.
Okay, so the phone got an update the other day and that fixed the problem with the icons.
However, the soft keys (and less importantly, the notification bar) still aren't transparent. Does anyone know what to do about this?
You know you live in the first world when this drives you insane
try different themes if that helps !!

In Settings go to the navigation control and it should be to the left on the switch. Move it to the right. Not only did that make the Nav bar clear, but also allows me to hide it.
Hope it helps.
