PPCGeeks - Please help, had to hard reset this morning

soooo woak up today at 6am and my fone was frozen solid, tried poping the battery. it restarted but tf3d would not load. all of my contacts were gone and the home screen was just black. if i went to the start button things kinda worked but so slow it took 10 mins just to get to the settings page.
so i hard reset the tp2 and have just about gotten things back to normal,

what i am asking for is the only thing i cant find.

sprint tp2 6.1 stock

how the heck do u get rid of the orange slider icons that show up when you slide from home to weather to settings and so forth. i had them gone before but for the life of me i cant remember how it was done.

any help would be great thanks!
