is there still no way to remove the Google search bar from the Pixel home screen?
Nova launcher is getting more and more incompatible with my Google Pixel 8 and my Google Pixel 6. The Google search bar on the home screen was the reason I started using a third party launcher. have they fixed that yet?
Unfortunately, the only way seems to be to use another launcher. I've been using the non-free Smart Launcher, which meets my needs well and has a decent level of features and customization. I also quite like Kvaesisto which has a highly customizable and powerful search (FOSS).
I don't think that there is a major Pixel/AOSP based launcher in development rn, but someone else may know of one. Lawnchair is ancient history, NeoLauncer is dead.
Turns out that Lawnchair is back in active development, but had not yet had a new stable release. You may want to check it out if you don't mind relying on a beta version.
