Hey! First of all, epic work on the module. :good: I just can't imagine using GEL (or is it GNL now? :D) without it. :)

I have 2 feature requests:

Would it be possible to increase the max size of icons in hotseat to 10 (+app drawer), maybe even 12 (+ app drawer)? There's a lot of space on 10" tablets in landscape mode and this would be really helpful. :)

Have you thought about implementing different custom homescreen/drawer dimensions for landscape and portrait modes? This is especially useful on 7" tablets, which are (in my experience) most often being used in both modes. By default, GEL changes grid dimensions for landscape and portrait to better fit current mode.

For example

: The drawer dimensions on my N5 in portrait mode are 5x4. If I rotate the phone to landscape (with rotation setting enabled), it automatically switches to 3x7 to better use current screen. However if I modify the drawer dimensions to 5x5, it stays (as expected) 5x5 in both portrait and landscape mode. And such dimensions (5x5) in landscape mode are a bit (a lot actually) unusable. Therefore it would be really useful if user could set different custom dimensions for landscape and portrait mode. :)

So that would be all from me. Thanks again for your amazing work and good luck in the future. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
I understand all that, but I don't want extra rows. I know that's the fact that it is scrollable makes it impossible to use gestures over it; I stated that in my first post.

If theknut tells me what I'm asking for is impossible or too much trouble for too little gain, I'll drop it, but the reason I'm even asking is so I don't have to use a half-assed workaround like that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I wouldn't say it's impossible but I also don't know how to do it. How should I know if you are scrolling the widget or performing a gesture? Do you really need this widget? I can't life without gestures anymore :cyclops:
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
Lol no, I'm not asking you to make gestures triggerable over the widget. I'm asking you to make them triggerable over the dock. Swiping up from the dock.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
I can't live without gestures either

Specially can't live without the nav buttons mod
[Xposed Framework Modules] dimebagdan65:
Try the left and right edges. I have great response there
[Xposed Framework Modules] my95z34:
I've actually been meaning to post about this myself. I've had the same issue for the past couple of versions. Hopefully this can get taken care of. =]
[Xposed Framework Modules] chrisch91:
I found a bug: The back button to sleep on main homescreen is not working sometimes. I have to swipe up and down to go into the app drawer and leave it. Afrer that he works again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bornoxt:
I've mentioned the same on my N5.

But, I think, for me it was just not showing the right symbol.

Sending phone to sleep worked by tapping on the shown back button.

Have you tried that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
How often are you guys experiencing this? I mean it should work ALWAYS and it is for me but the symbol is wrong in very rare cases for me. Like after killing the launcher or booting the phone. After switching to another page and back again I don't have any problems anymore.

If you experience this more often I really need steps to reproduce it!
[Xposed Framework Modules] oliver7:
Missing textshadow switch for app drawer, or text shadow should also be disabled in app drawer when switching it off in homescreen settings. [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION]

Greetz..
[Xposed Framework Modules] bornoxt:
I've noticed this after killing the launcher.

But I think that's ok.

If i mention this in any other case I'll let you know.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chrisch91:
Twice a day in average.. The symbol is always rigjt for me. It would be great to have the scree off button on all homescreen, not just on main.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
This is all that is stopping me, the icons get cut off on the sides :c

[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
You're using too many icons without resizing them. Shrink them down a bit if you're going to use that many. It's been stated many times you need to do that if using a lot of them in a row.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
A bit of a bother to have to resize each individual icon manually? Reducing the percentage size in the app shrinks the icons but they're still cut off for no reason.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
More on "disappearing" homescreens problem: This is happening too consistently. Could be a timing problem on slower devices. In any event, I would say it is a bug in the module.

Why? Modules make their mods a run time. When the launcher first comes up. What if the mods get done up before screen is actually painted? At this point, the launcher may introduce unwanted original data and mix things up? I see all the dots for homescreens over a blank display, then usually the rightmost dot dissappears and the screen gets painted. Maybe the module needs to re-setup the data at the paint time which may be well after launcher run (startup) time, i.e. delayed by slow CPU or ... until I open the screen!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Crime_Monkey:
An unread counter for gmail, whatsapp (and whatsapp+) etc. Would be great
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Patience...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Exactly this is a one man project...?
[Xposed Framework Modules] bornoxt:
Maybe an integration/implementation of Tesla Unread or MissedIt support is an alternative...

That's right, you're making huge steps with XGELS, so there's no hurry.

You're right and therefore it's really great!
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
you don't have to resize them individually, you simply chose a percentage in settings. I have a 6X6 setup with 70% icon reduction and they all fit perfectly. you need to adjust the rows and columns as well as the percentages of the icons.
[Xposed Framework Modules] TenderloinShadow:
I've experienced this too on my d2vzw. It only happens when auto hide is enabled, not just the regular hiding mode. And its persistent as long as the feature is enabled.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Okay, accepted scenarios are

after rotating

restarting the launcher

rebooting your phone

These are the only scenarios for me. I've also hidden the search bar and I have auto hide enabled. Can you name more scenarios? The function should always work, though.

[MENTION=5157897]chrisch91[/MENTION] power off on every screen is in the latest beta. If you are a donator you should apply for the beta group and apply for testing once in the group.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Pseudonym:
Is it possible to implement applying launcher icons like on nova, apex, etc.? Sorry if it's been asked already and is impossible.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kitrax59:
Been discussed to death. A quick search for 'icon packs' will give you all the answers. Or in the OP, under feature requests.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Check out unicon and download some icon packs. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
2nd screenshot is reduced to 60%. I only mean the dock. The settings icon is supposed to be a full circle, but even when its shrunk, it still isn't.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
Stupid app only uploads one image per post. This is the first one.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Must be a DPI/resolution issue. [MENTION=1264662]faslane[/MENTION] is using a bigger phone than you are. For the record, I have the same issue on my Nexus 4 if I choose 7 dock icons (I usually only use 5 though so I've never noticed it before). Not sure how easy it would be to adjust the padding between the icons.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
Hopefully it gets fixed soon. :) Still enjoying it either way, over my usual use of Apex Launcher Pro.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:

Unhide dock

Launch app
[Xposed Framework Modules] jrbxx7:
Excellent. Thanks.

TaPpEd from my HyPeR NIII
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Cool new gestures! Great.

This module is going beyond a GNL/GEL settings module, becoming more of a launcher overlay or launcher in its own right. Other modules do a variety gestures even with more than one finger, independent of launcher. Might be time for a separation of powers, so to speak. But love it the way it is and is going!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Valiante:
Is it possible to have the Google Now Launcher listen while the screen is off? That way if we turn off the screen while we were in the launcher it would wake up the phone.

also would it be possible to change the default hotword?

great work so far I'm loving this module!

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

also I was thinking if you could have an alphabetical quick scroll bar at the bottom of the app drawer that would make searching for apps a lot easier!

thanks for all of your hard work so far!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elluel:
That would destroy your battery life, it already uses a chunk if you leave it on.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
The app Open Mic+ can do this for you.. no need for it to built into an Xposed module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
My quick search box crashes out. Tried deleting Google Search's data (I can do that now and get everything back thanks to Xgels!) but that did not help. The keyboard can get text into the box but it does not search. Choosing one of the Chromium search history items (done on the desktop), will crash twice, first time the wait-animation is still there, second time, screen blacks out, Google search pane returns and everything is OK except ... no result.

All cards work fine.

Not trying voice search with this--know it will not work on my LG P500. Type searches worked on cm-10.2. Do not remember if I ever used it on cm-11 since did not really stay with this long enough. Could be a 4.4.2 problem or specifically an Omni problem.
[Xposed Framework Modules] deboopi2:
I'm trying out the googe play edition of kitkat on my HTC One (m7)

I installed the one from arhd rel 6.1

Because there's a lot in sense that's unavailable in GPE I started looking for Xposed modules.

For what I have seen your GEL xposed mode and the gravity box should give about 100% of the features I'm looking for.

But whereas the settings from Gravity do have effect there's not one feature from Gel working.

I tried to download from the play store and also from the xposed repo.

I unchecked all other mods and deleted and reinstalled GEL, but nothing works.

Are there known incompatibilities with the ARHD version of GPE or is it something else and how to solve this
[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
Developer does not own an HTC one therefore it will be impossible for him to answer your question wrt arhd.

Best send a log.

Module works flawlessly on stock gpe btw.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Snuffalofagus:
Question for [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION], is the nav bar animation change on different ROMs on your list of eventual fixes?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Valiante:
I suppose but it would only listen if you turned off your phone on the homescreen?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I'm aware of the app but ram use jumps much higher with Open Mic+
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
I think you're going to get that side effect no matter what implementation you get. That is unless you have a dedicated processor like the Moto X, but then you wouldn't be asking about it :p
[Xposed Framework Modules] deboopi2:
I attached the log file (renamed to .txt) and I will send it to TheKnut as a private message.

Maybe I missed it but I did not see whether Gel is Kitkat compatible, maybe that's the problem.

If Gel will not work can someone tell me how to

remove the google search bar at the top

enable the modification of the app drawer (rows and columns) and also for the launcher

Becasue these are the setting I'd really like to have, maybe another xposed mod or another hack to accomplish this
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
I'm still not live here!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Someone help me with this. I don't know what the problem is. Yes, it's not working but all the other stuff is rather confusing to understand. There is no error in the log, too.

Have you got B1.5 Build 1 in the end? If so you might want to clear Play Store data and reboot your phone. Open XGELS in Play Store and see if the changelog changed and you are able to update.

Are you using some kind of proxy or something? The update mechanism is provided by Google. I can only provide the link for beta testing if you are in the group. Everything else is handled by Google, not me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Not shown as update available.

No proxy, no vpn, nada. Maybe it is a country problem. Google can be finicky with that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:

I had issues with a couple of beta builds as well. I just cleared play store data and rebooted once or twice a day and the update eventually came every time. One time in particular took about two days I think.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

When you say "gel" are you referring to the xgels module or the gel/gnl launcher? Your post is a little confusing. Either way, both the module and gel/gnl launcher are compatible with (and made for) kit Kat. Try to download gnl from the play store if it's compatible with your phone or at least install the gel apk (search for it on Google) if you haven't already. If you're not using the gel/gnl launcher, there is no reason to think this module will work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] l-go:
when using gel on my note 3 the notification bar turns black.will this module give me the option to make it transparent again?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I'm only invoking a method to pull it down. There is nothing else I'm doing with the statusbar. It might rather be a crappy implementation either of your ROM or a module...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jsilver73:
Hey, firstly thank you op for awesome module - at last I can use gel and have it the way I want it :)

I seem to have an issue though with my additional home screen, when I update my ROM out this morning I just updated kernel, I completely lose my second home page and all its data. Has anyone else come across this issue, and if so, how to fix it.

Also, when I download an app from play store, Google search gives error and refuses to create new page.

Does anyone have solution for this please?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
For your first issue, you could try creating the second homescreen then using the restore feature in xgels. The cause of this is probably just an incompatibility between your rom and xgels or something went wrong during your update.

The second issue doesn't sound like it's related to xgels but maybe an issue with your launcher or rom.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jsilver73:
Thanks for speedy reply, problem is that I am stuck with only one home screen now unless I restore ndroid. Is there any easy to create second home page other than to download app then let launcher automatically create new home page (which I can't do now as I get this error when I try)

Anyone else here using this module on i9505 slimkat?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
I'm not familiar with slimkat's launcher but on gnl, you can manually drag a shortcut over to create a new homescreen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jsilver73:
It is Google now launcher. Dragging shortcut doesn't seem to work for me though?

Edit: wait - I have been trying with a widget, just tried with an app and it worked, thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Hmm, i'm at a loss for that one. Dragging a regular app shortcut from the app drawer lets me put it on a new homescreen to the right of my current one. Maybe try reinstalling gnl?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jsilver73:
Sorry, you were too quick, look at my edited post below ;) thank you got your help :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Ok great!
[Xposed Framework Modules] tarroyo:
yes, tried it on another app (it rotated) nothing happened when enabling that for GEL.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Daanor:
I am not sure but, after i installed this i lost my root. gonna double check later today(its ma birfday). But ill post again when i can.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mathief:
it would be nice if you could add the resize app drawer!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Okay sneak peak of upcoming update

fixed the Google search bar overlay when GNow isn't installed (not included in the apk below)

added customizable app drawer grid

added customizable icon size

added customizable hotseat icon size

added customizable text size

added settings import/export

I need to go a friend now but could some skilled users please test this apk? I still need to fix the voice search thing but thats gonna happen when I get back in some hours. Please report back while I'm away! Please also watch out for typos and stuff (yeah I'm that guy)

Please uninstall the apk before testing!

Just in case: Please make sure you got the Xposed disable flashable zip on your phone before trying this!

I didn't do anything regarding this but I'm fixing a bug in that area for the next update.

Does anyone know the name of that thing? I want to fix a bug a user reported.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jorgeabe99:
Main search screen hidden on Galaxy S4 i9500

I get this behavior when Google search bar is hidden. When launching Google search app (from app icon, for example), main search screen not appears, only the keyboard does.

This behavior is better described below with screenshots. last screenshot is as it should be.

I wonder if someone is experiencing this, too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] droid_junkie:
Used this APK. Icon re-sizing works perfect for me. The only minor annoyance I'm facing is that making icons smaller also makes the App Drawer icon to shrink. Not a biggie. Thanks for this module. Purchased Nova Prime 3 days ago but I don't think I'll be using it anymore.

drawer group + isolated tabs anyone? I'm being greedy now. lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrrtys:
I like that the icons also shrink in the app drawer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Fixed right now! Thank you very much for reporting! Especially the screenshots made it easy to understand what you mean. I really appreciate it.

Here is your cookie

[MENTION=4732590]cadarn07[/MENTION] this fix also fixes your bug report. Thanks!

Fck yeah! Also fixed SearchPlate not showing after hotword detection!

Nothing stopping me from releasing an update shortly ;)

Hey, great work! Congratulations!

May I ask for a feature? Maybe we can expand de grid size in app drawer... like, instead of 4 collumns, we can have 5? Like Nexus 4 has.
