[Q] HELP me get rid of Google Now triangle from lockscreen

[amritpal2489]

Guys,
Can somebody tell me how can I remove that little triangle showing in the bottom center of the lockscreen that is used to launch google search ??
It actually is interfering with my Home button on the Navbar as it doesnt disappear after unlocking and in turn shows up behind the Navbar Home button. I have attached the screenshot for your reference (Look at what I have encircled in red in the bottom center of the screen).
I am using Omnirom on my N5

Let's start with "what mod/app did you install on top of your ROM that gave you that little triangle"? The stock ROM doesn't seem to have that.

Ummmm... I dont think i installed any such mod which could have enabled this.. Can you suggest me something???

And the stock omni has one.. I just checked it out.. check the 2nd pic in the attachment in the link that you posted.. Can you see that triangle?

My guess would be it's a bug in the ROM. That arrow is only supposed to be visible on the lockscreen when you don't have a navigation bar. What happens when you tap on the triangle? Does it function as the home button or not? Is there anything in the Omnirom settings to configure the nav bar?

I would say either take it to the Omnirom thread and see if anyone else is having the issue or try flashing another ROM.

I don't think it has anything to do with Omnirom as I'm having the same problem and don't have Omnirom. I'm just running Xposed and Gravity Box and this stupid little arrow has been driving me nuts for about six weeks now.

I though it might have to do with NotificationMod Xposed module so I uninstalled it but it still appears.

Me neither. And from all of my Google searching it seems that you, me and one other person who posted on XDA are the only people experiencing this haha.

I threw a post onto r/Nexus5 hoping someone there might be able to lend some insight and linked this post along with the other post.

Sorry...it wouldn't let me link the Reddit post since I'm a newbie here.

sounds like a bug in the ROM, have you tried re-installing or changing to another Rom?

Are you running Xposed or GB as well?

If you are, we can try and see which modules we have in common.

Also, I just remembered I messed up flashing something last week and had to factory reset and the arrow is still appearing so it's definitely a bug in some app.

ActivityForceNewRask

Android L Navigation Bar
Android L Theme
Android Phone Vibrator
Bluetooth Unlock
Enable BatteryStats Permission
Force Fast Scroll
Heads Up Notifications
Intelli3G
Native Clip Board
SoftKeysFadeMod
StopSwitchDelay

Looks like we overlap with:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android L Navigation Bar
SoftKeysFadeMod
Xposed GEL Settings

I've disabled SoftKeysFadeMod and am going to look through GEL Settings to see if there's an option to disable GN on lock screen.

I'll probably put my money that SoftKeysFade is the issue.

Any luck buddy?
I disabled all the four one by one.. but still the same..

Try disabling Xposed completely, not just individual modules.

You have multiple mods that have to do with the navbar. Any one of those could be causing the problem. Try disabling them and reboot.
