Remove Google Search Bar?

[Chopstix9]

Is there any line item that can be deleted or frozen with Titanium Backup to get rid of the Google search bar at the top of each screen?

Or even if I have to go further into the system?

You can try a launcher like nova launcher which is a stock launcher with additional features

You can disable google search in settings>applications and it will go away.
You can't do anything with that real estate though.

Download Nova Launcher from this forum , its basically the stock launcher with a few extra twists to it . Overall very slick and fast , you wont look back trust me .

Accidentally thanked you, but you can just go to /system/app/ and delete quicksearchbox.apk as well

Perfect !! Thank You so much. Actually I just went in and put a .sav file extension at the end of quicksearchbox. That eliminated it but the apk still there should I need to restore it.

I know I don't gain any screen space doing that, I just don't like the look of it at top of my screens! And I can still google from the browser.

Thanx again.

disabling google search bar:
settings -> apps -> all -> google-search : DISABLE

reboot your tablet/phone to remove the empty gray thing on your homescreens...
but this space is not really free then!

enabling again (works too)
settings -> apps -> all -> google-search: ENABLE

btw, without the search-bar the new google-home-www-page also don't works!
you can not enter it from your tablet buttons or the home-screen...
