I recently purchased a Galaxy J7 to replace my beloved but horribly abused Galaxy SIII.

When I powered up my J7 and viewed the home screen for the first time, I noticed a giant Google search bar in the middle of the screen:

This really bugged me for some reason, and I couldn’t do anything else until I figured out how to remove the search bar.
Procedure to remove giant annoying Google search bar:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Application Manager
- Scroll down and click on “Google App”
- Tap “DISABLE”
