How to remove icon text using stock launcher? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way?

You won't be able to change the app drawer on stock launcher but for the rest of the icons you could use desktop visualizer app

He's talking about this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr

That's the one

Or, if you have six shortcuts in the bottom bar, the text will go away.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.

It takes 7 on mine, not 6

I didn't count the app drawer icon, because it cannot be changed, that leaves six shortcuts.

You can decompile the lg launcher apk and change a value in the bool.xml file to rove the text for shortcuts on launcher hotseat if you don't want to use app to do it.

Settings shortcuts

Wondering if anyone else is missing the settings shortcut widgets. I would put those on my homescreen. Shortcuts to battery information etc

Been asked many times before.
I believe they are hard coded into the launcher app.

I'll have to try that all I want to do is even swipe up and google now appears. I use Google now allot and its a pain to have to open the app would be good to just do a gesture and it opens.
I use Nova launcher and have set double tap on screen to be google now. Very handy.
This thread has the launcher you're looking and some other 4.4 goodies.
