Whenever I go to the home screen, that black bar is at the bottom of the screen and I'm pretty sure its not supposed to be there. I tried to wipe the cache and that didn't do anything. Any help is appreciated thanks.
Isn't that a feature of the Sense launcher? If you don't want it I would recommend using another launcher like Apex or Nova. If you're really attached to the Sense launcher but not the black bar, there might be a tweak to remove it in the one custom ROMs in the Android Development subforum.

So if you want to have an ICS theme for your note, or pretty much any android phone, follow these directions. And if you like it, hit the thanks button
What you will need:
Go launcher
GO Locker
GO Locker ICS Theme
GO Search Widget
Ice Cream Sandwich (Theme)
Ice Cream Sandwich Clock
ICS Search Bar 2 for GO Widget
Okay once you have all those you want to go to go launcher. when on your home screen press the menu button (Far left) click themes. then select your ice cream sandwich theme. Now press the home button. then the menu button. now preferences. then screen settings, then grid size. Select "Tight 5x4" then click the home button. now hold your finger on the home screen. click widgets, and android 4.0 clock. Then position it where you want it. Now go back to the home screen, hold your finger on the screen again, and select GOwidget. Now click search and select your ICS one. now we are almost done. go back home, click the menu button, then plugins, then go locker, and select IceCream.
That's all. If you need help just ask.
I use Go sms for my texting, and downloaded an ICS theme for that. Shown in the image below.
Here are some pictures of my Note home screen:
just thought i'd add that when you are trying to change the lock screen wallpaper from menus it doesnt show the ics ones.
to change the go locker wallpaper to one that doesnt show up:
tap menu
tap plugins
tap go locker
tap settings
you can change it to the wallpapers included with the go launcher ics theme that way, change it to others that don't show up when you try to change from display settings menu, or even set it to just be the same background you use for go launcher.

Go SMS. Its in the market. They have tons of themes for it
sent from my white galaxy note At&t
ICS theme
The only problem is that's not how ICS looks. (I already have this installed.) I had it on my old phone, and the widgets are a white translucent background, and a dark bar at the top similar to how Honeycomb looks, but not identical. I don't know where these themes come up with the completely wrong look.
I just switched over from an HD2 running AOSP ICS. I have yet to see a widget for email for example, that looks anything like the real ICS one.
I admit that it mostly looks like it if you leave the widgets out.
An example of what they should look like would be the modern ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets, but the bar at the top looks darker on actual ICS ones.
cool
Hi there. using Nova launcher, very happy with it. Just one question. Is it possible to change the default icons in the scrollable area just above the home button. That orange "Contacts" icon is horrific and spoils my otherwise neat home screen. Thanks, Chris
Try This
Thanks Neville, Ill check it out.
Look for icecream in playstore I'm using nova as you and installed those icons
Agree..that orange icon is so old...

Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
I hope I can get some help on this. I have been working on it for a while and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen while using a transparent Nav Bar. I have been messing around with the SystemUI.apk, but I feel like it's more likely the GoogleHome launcher (which seems to just put some tweaks onto the stock launcher) or even the Launcher2.apk that is formatting the wallpaper like this. I am just staring to mess with coding, so I'm not sure where the formatting is happening. Any advanced themers/coders willing to give me some advice?
P.S. I REALLY want to use the Google Home launcher and not just switch to a third party launcher like Nova. Nova launcher does get the wallpaper full screen with transparent nav bar, but it does not have the features that the Google Home launcher has.
Thanks in advance!!
:good:
Android version of your phone and if it is rooted???
Don't be shy Hit thanks if I was of any Help!!!

As subject says, anytime I try and his it also removed the app icon from home screen as well.
I'm new to one UI really, I've always used nova launcher, but one UI seems and looks nice now and nova hasn't been updated for a long time.
I was able in nova to hide any app but if it was on the home screen it would stay there which is what I want.
This is mainly just to tidy it up so I'm only left with the apps that aren't on home screen.
Any suggestions please?

I don't think you can do that with OneUI, since the hiding option itself is part of Home Screen Setting, so it's normal that it hide the icon from home as well.
I'd just stick with Nova. Am using Nova on my S23 as well. Doesn't matter how great many stock launcher have come, it just always lack one or two function that eventually make me just go back to Nova, lol.
