How do I remove the chunky, waste-of-space Google search widget at the top of every home screen? And if I do, can I put apps there instead? I know I can add and remove Google widgets on the main home screen:  Note: I am not willing to root it.
I have been reading for days about how to remove the Google Search Bar from the top of my Nexus 6 since I never use it. I have gotten mixed answers on exactly what file to delete and where it is.  I have heard quicksearchbar.apk but it's not in /system/app like in previous versions. Does anybody know where the file/files are I need to delete in order to get rid of the search bar, or else, how to remove it? Preferably not downloading another launcher, since I don't want to bloat my phone when I could reduce the size.
Display keyboard without animation Well, this might be a really simple one. But still... What will be the soln. to --- \begin{aligned} \int\frac{1}{1+x^n} dx \end{aligned}  Is substituting \begin{aligned} 1+x^n \end{aligned} by tan z the correct step?  Thanks for the Help. I did not create a swap partition during Ubuntu installation.  Later, I freed up some space and made a swap partition.  Now after each boot up, I am manually opening gparted to right-click the swap partition to turn on the 'swapon' option.  How can I automatically enable the swap partition at boot?  Also, if I had not created the swap partition, what are my other options? The error: "mount: only root can do that" while mounting a partition How could humans have interbred with Neanderthals if we're a different species? To be clear, I'm not doubting that homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis did interbreed: of that much I'm convinced.   Within the past few years I've seen an upcropping of pop-sci articles discussing the interbreeding between pre-historic species of humans. In everything that I see in these articles, as well as in scientific literature (my college Bio textbook, among others), I see these different humans being referred to as separate species.   This conflicts with my understanding of a species. Given the following definition, wouldn't homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis be the same species?     A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms where   two hybrids are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically   using sexual reproduction.      Is this definition incorrect?  Are the publications using "species" colloquially, as opposed to scientifically?  Is "species" still a poorly defined concept? (see )   Thanks! LaTeX seems to be having problems handling nested optional arguments. I've included a minimal code example that generates the error:  \documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book} \begin{document}  \newcommand{\termbad}[2][]{#2#1} \newcommand{\termgood}[2][]{#2#1}  \newcommand{\up}[1]{#1} \newcommand{\dd}[1][]{#1}  \termgood{\up{Tart}}{Pop} \termbad[\up{Tart}]{Pop}      \termgood{\dd[Tart]}{Pop} \termbad[{\dd[Tart]}]{Pop} %\termbad[\dd[Tart]]{Pop}   \end{document}   If you run this code, it works. If you remove the % in the second to last line, it fails with:  Runaway argument?  Tart{Pop} \par \par \end {document}  !File ended while scanning use of \dd.   After further tinkering, I have discovered the problem: LaTeX is reading the ] for the inner optional argument as the end of the outer optional argument and then passing a malformed argument in. So it is passing in \dd[Tart as the optional argument to \termbad instead of \dd[Tart].  This still feels like a bug to me. Nesting braces in arguments works, brackets should as well. The following are workarounds:   Enclose the inner optional argument in braces (as in the line before %). Redefine your inner function to require its argument instead of using optional arguments. Redefine your outer function to require its argument instead of using optional arguments.   Any one of the three works around the issue.

What, exactly, is transferred along supply lines? Supply routes are great when a settlement is just starting out to get things off the ground, but what is specifically transferred along them? I know anything on the  Junk, Aid and Mods tabs are transferred, and Fusion cores and Power Armor pieces aren't. Does that mean weapons, armor and ammo aren't transferred at all?  And what about Food and Water resources? Can I build a farming community with a surplus of food and use that to feed a merchant-only settlement, or are local crops always required? Ditto water. Prove that $T$ has an orbit of period 3 How do I design a user friendly survey with more than 150 questions? I am designing UI/UX for a survey webapp which has more than 150 questions. Right now they are using 5 radio buttons for each question. Similar to the image below:      So the question is, how to make it super user friendly, easy and fun to do?   Further I am looking for a solution from responsive web design perspective too.  I hate designing it like the following image below but what are some other options. What is the purpose of /home on a Mac? On Linux, (which I am used to), /home is the place where home folders live.  On a Mac, home is some kind of crazy mutant:  $ mount /dev/disk1 on / (hfs, local, journaled) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse) map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)   Other than to be non-conformist, is there some purpose to this auto_home mount point?  Considering how it mucks up things that come right out of the box, there must be some wonderful thing that it accomplishes, but I can't figure out what that would be..... Homotopy functions I'm new here. Can anyone give me a hint in this problem? Please.  Let $X$ be a topological space. If $f,g$ are continuous function of $f,g\colon X\to S^n$  which $f(x)\neq -g(x)$ for all $x$ in $X$, show $f$ and $g$ are homotopics. I try to show a homotopy using $$q(x) = \frac{f(x)+g(x)}{\|f(x)+g(x)\|}$$ it's well defined, but i'm stuck. How do you use a gray card? There are already   on how to make a gray card, but unfortunately my ignorance goes deeper than that.  How do you use a gray card? i have a usb wifi adapter Tp-Link model: wn725n  it works very well on windows but i can't find any drivers for linux/ubuntu i tried everything online but nothing work so far  i'm using   Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS  3.19.0-28-generic  laptop: hp probook 4540s  can you please help me install this adapter? Is there a way to select the children of a parent object? Do the parent directory's permissions matter when accessing a subdirectory? If I have a root folder with some restrictive permission, let's say 600, and if the child folders/files have 777 permission will everybody be able to read/write/execute the child file even though the root folder has 600? Convergence of $\sqrt{n}x_{n}$ where $x_{n+1} = \sin(x_{n})$ Can Wubi use the ISO I already have? The Windows Installer for Ubuntu desktop instructions say that an ISO image for Ubuntu is downloaded during the installation process.  But what if I already have an ISO image for Ubuntu. Can I make the Windows Installer use that, so it doesn't have to download an ISO image again?  12.04 LTS and 12.10 are the versions of Ubuntu I'm interested in installing, in case that matters. Show that $\phi(n)=\frac{n}{2}$ if and only if $n=2^k$ for some positive integer k. I think I have it figured and would like to see if I am on the right track. Thank you.
