Question Any way to remove the Google search bar at the bottom of the screen?

Which package disabler are you using if you don't mind?

This. I'm running Samsungs though. There's a version for non-Samsung devices but I never used that one.
Used this app for 3 years and it runs well.
The company replies to emails promptly.

As for your search bar see if you can disable it in apps. I just kill it with PD. On my Samsungs I also have the option to remove it from the homepage (push, hold, punch remove from home).
I think that app also makes another annoying search mod to the browsers but it's been a while since I had to look at it.

Nova Launcher

The premier custom launcher for Android, loved by over 50 million.

Allows you to access Google now by left swiping

Ah, I had searched for "Nova Companion" and found nothing, I needed to be searching for "Nova Google Companion."

A little late to the party. Always used Lawnchair launcher on my Pixel3. Just got my P6 a few days ago and upgraded to Lawnchair again. Seems pretty stable on Android 12. I add Lawnfeed to enable Google feed left-swipe. Lawnchair is pretty similar to Pixel launcher except you can customize much more than stock (ie, disabling the bottom search bar).

That what I used on my v60 before this.

Is Nova launcher compatible with Pixel 6's themed icons?

 

[solarus2011]

Not yet. It is a requested feature on the Discord Channel with quite a few upvotes so hopefully in the future. Material You widgets don't update automatically at this time either (unless Pixel launcher is still in memory).

The widgets will change but you need to turn screen off first. If they change while phone screen is off (wallpaper timer or app in use) the new color will show when unlocked.

You can’t on the default launcher.

The one thing I hate about pixel launcher is lack of customization. I like having a 6x6 grid, and Google stops at 5x5. Nova allows a custom grid of up to 12 which is a bit much for me, but essentially would allow someone to post all their icons on one screen lol. It's a very nice launcher and never had any issues with it.

I guess not? Pretty annoying as I never use it.

Well, you can’t remove it it’s a part of the pixel phone. However, you can use 3rd party launcher to remove it.
