Hello friends, today's tutorial to see how disable Google Now (now Google) and Google search box (Google Search) that is always on the home screen of our Android phone. Also Google search box with Google Now we meet and tablets running the Android operating system.
Although using a smartphone for a long time, about the time of 2.3 Android Gingerbread, I have not used even once Google search box that is always on the phone's home screen. If 2.3 Android Google search box could be moved or removed from the home screen on Android Jelly Bean does not happen so. This is always the home screen of your phone or tablet can not be removed, resized or moved, basically we are dealing with a persistent search box.
The moments when I "use" the Google or Google Now search box (because these two are closely related) are when I want to pull the drawer with notifications down and by mistake, instead of touching the Status bar, I touch the search box Google. It's pretty annoying because once you reach the search box you have to wait a bit (especially if you have a slightly weaker smartphone) for it to initialize and then exit it or remove it from the Task Switcher (application manager / tasks to switch between open applications)
The same happens with Google Now in Jelly Bean that can be activated with a gesture (tap / hold / swipe up) with your finger on the Home button and pulling up. Now how can activate Google disturbing when using Pie Launcher (the pie) instead of the navigation bar (navigation bar with buttons Back, Home, Manager applications) that comes default with Android that hides only when there you use. Now Google can be activated accidentally and when playing some games for Android is quite unpleasant to be interrupted in the game.
For this reason we will see together how we can disable persistent Google search bar and Google Now and how we can reactivate later if we change our minds and decide to use them. Now I remind you that Google search box and Google are closely related, actually both part of the same application. Unfortunately we can not selectively disable only one of them without resorting to methods that require root or use a custom ROM or a third party launcher.

Adrian, that all you talked about voice search, I do not use it, but when I want to speak a message (without typing it) to send anyone tells me I can not access it, was forced to turn Wi netul-Fi or mobile. Why? Can you help me, please e!
Google Now or Spech to text (because it is used in google now) is a cloud based technology (cloud-based).
Basically when you activate Google now and say words they are processed and compared quickly with a database in the cloud for better accuracy. For Google now to be able to communicate with the "database" it needs the internet and hence the need for a data connection.
Some of the information is processed in the Google cloud and then sent to your phone fast and asambalte

I have a question related to the default android theme (in black): Is there a way to disable a custom theme of a manufacturer (Alcatel in my case) and move to the original Android theme / icons? Or have they been removed and replaced with custom ones? White background on Alcatel of menus, agenda, sms, etc. I find it tiring… and how much trouble does it have with battery life?
what games you play
I do not play games, I do not like games or console nor Android or PC
try a launcher like nova that makes your phone interface to look like a nexus one found in Android Market
I also agree with you about Google Now and to some extent Google Search, why we use applications that are not% to% compatible in our territory, or why we use Google Now & Search if we are at a disadvantage and others in other states are at an advantage.
Anyway, Google Now is a nonsense application that Google promotes very intensely and that I will never use…
Very good tutorial, I disabled this application Google Now while watching the tutorial because it is a useless app for me.
