I'm already using gestures. With a recent update they've forced the little navigation bar pill/line with no option to hide it.
Isn't that the launcher? Try a different one.
Yeah good lock will let you disable it. I forgot I used that to hide the nav hint.
No, you can only remove it with Goodlock now.
Damn :(
Btw, you can keep circle to search on and use GoodLock to remove the nav bar. You just press and hold in the middle where the nav bar would be to activate circle to search
I actually don't want either of those things, but thank you its good to know.
