Is there anyway I can remove or make this bar less ugly as I dont use google apps that often so I removed google go search but it resulted in that dull bar.Google original app is not supported for my device and I cant change launcher as I am on Android 11 go and third party launcher work really poor. Advice?

If you re-add, google search go. Can you customize it? Or have you tried a 3rd party search app like pixel search and set it as assistant and see if that makes a difference? You can always try a 3rd party launcher. Apart from that, i don't see more solutions.

Shouldn't you be able to just long press on any widget and then delete it? That's how I removed the google search bar on my phone (shipped with Android 11).

I'm Indian. What you said makes no sense. Just install a different launcher or something?

Kvaesito launcher (available on F-Droid) is absolutely gorgeous.

Sluggy on my device

[–] gunpachi@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

You could also check out mLauncher, its a very minimal launcher. It's also available in fdroid.

Use Nova Launcher instead.
