It's very hard for me to understand your posts. They are helpful most of the times but can you please reread them before you post?

Concerning your issue: If I understood right, if you hide the search bar and use that row for icons you are likely to remove the icons because once you drag them you are directly in line with the deletedroptarget so you can't place an app there?! Is that right? It's definitely possible to place an app there. I can't waste any time on this right now because I want to publish V1.4 and I got plenty things to do for that and definitely too less time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
OK

One can place the icon there if one gingerly place it just below the target.

Yes 1.4 is the priority and this is not a critical problem. Something to think about.

I will "donate" once the 1.4 donation scheme is in place.

[Xposed Framework Modules] DrEAmRBoY:
Awesome app !!! Feature requests below ...

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] ..... I am really grateful for GEL settings. It made up to all my requirements. A few more features, and its perfect !!! :D

1. Rather than the all apps button which opens GEL settings , why not the settings button which shows up after you press the menu key ?? :confused:

2. Please include icon packs modifications !!!

For this requirement , theres an app called unicon, which again uses xposed, but sadly , its paid on Gplay . :(

Im looking for a free alternative , which puts everything under one roof !!!

3. Since google changed the name of the launcher Now launcher , why not change the name to GNL settings ???

fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Thanks !!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] LeGenDz R3DeaDz:
Great job man Thank you! It would be nice if you add a setting to increase the max capacity of app we can put in a folder.

1 not all phones have a menu key; phones with on screen keys hide the menu key in the launcher

2 unicorn is just a couple of bucks and worth it; don't you feel developers who spend their time working on stuff like this should get compensated for it? It's not like m$ pays them for it; if we don't support independent developers they have to get jobs that take away from their development time. Besides, this has already been discussed and is out of scope for xgels

3 also been discussed; an informal poll a while back found pretty much everyone agreeing that xgels>xgnls

Does anyone know whether I need to support launcher2 or not? Users with Android 4.3 are using launcher2 or launcher3? For one feature I'm using a method which is only supported for launcher3. Anyone?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrbobo1:
even when I was on a 4.3 rom I updated the launcher to launcher 3 back in november when kk dropped, it's seamless and easy so I say just go with 3

Just one man's opinion though :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
SOME of your setting do work with launcher3, but ... this is XposedGELSettings. Maybe best to keep that focus. There are tons of launchers, overlays and addons around. GEL (or GNL) is just one of them. Were I to return to Trebucher, Launcher# or Vire (a favorite), I would not expect this module to be of use. I love this module ... for this launcher.

Would seem (but maybe I am wrong!), that the save/export would be copying Google's data file or folder to the sdcard. The restore/import copies from the sdcard back to Google's stuff. Within the same (or similar) ROM version, widgets would be preserved. To a (major?) upgrade or new ROM version, no, the widgets are not preserved. That's life.

I use GEL on cm-10.2. When I upgrade to cm-11 or Omni, the widgets are gone. I must re-place them, both on lockscreen and home screens. Going from one cm-11 to another cm-11, for example, the widgets are kept.

The same applies to widgets used in Overlays (placing a storage size widget over a file manager, for example).

So maybe do not sweat it too much over the widgets. Might not be so neatly solvable over different ROMs.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Sanguinus:
First of all: I really really love this app, but I have one little request:

Different grid sizes for portrait and landscape mode in the app drawer. Would be nice, if this feature could be added. Thanks

Anything cool we could do when swiping up when in the app drawer?

Since I first installed XGELS its been frustrating that the restart toggle doesn't work for me and yet seems to work fine for other people.

To see the changes I've made I needed a full reboot.

To get to the bottom of it I installed advanced task manager. I killed both Google Search and Google Play Services. That did it, no need for a reboot.

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] any reason you know of why this could be happening.

4.4.2, nexus 5, dalvik, stock ROM, xposed
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Press the button and post a logcat. Otherwise I can't help you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] outofthisworld:
I installed Catlog, I press the button and there are no new lines in the log.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Can this swipe gestures be used to assign custom shortcuts like in third party launchers?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Of course it can be but that doesn't make sense to me. You can always place a shortcut on the homescreen. Even swiping to launch an app from within the app drawer doesn't make sense to me. Thats why I didn't implement it until, yet. I don't see the need for it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Tell you what how can it make sense to me

There are a certain apps that I've hidden from app drawer and I don't want anyone to know that I have that apps are on my phone. Now when I need to launch those apps it takes a bit of effort to unhide them, use them and then again hide them. If I place a shortcut on home screen it makes no sense to hide them from app drawer so gestures can be a nice way to access hidden apps

Also back when I used nova I used a number of gestures to toggle WiFi or Bluetooth

If you enable the option to choose custom actions it would be nice bcoz you already have two toggles in the app for swipe up gestures
[Xposed Framework Modules] chelsea_fc:
Is it possible to do swiping down from app drawer to close the drawer and return to home ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
It'll be in the next release!
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
You are too cool mate :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] unseenvision:
You know you can just search for hidden apps using Google Search and open them from there?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Thanks

Didn't knew about it

But will like the custom gesture actions added

Hello theknut, I've sometimes this problem with my homescreen: I've deactivate google searchbar on homescreen but sometimes came the searchbar from Google now. See pic

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xposed Framework Modules] joshsurber:
Could the app drawer cycle; ie swiping past the last page goes to the first page? Or better yet, a scrolling list of apps rather than multiple pages? Always been my biggest pain point with every launcher Google released. GNL+XGELS is swell enough I am willing to suffer through it but I'd rather not have to. :) Then it could just swipe as one more home screen.

[Xposed Framework Modules] BigJeff:
Another thing, not needed but appreciated would be the addition of swiping to open the app drawer. That way the need for the dock is eliminated, allowing for more room on the homescreen.

You can use a number of other apps or mods to change the font.

Check out chromium's font packs thread..

You'll get flashable font zips which will change fonts system wide
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
You can use per app font module

My bad! Ive been on 1.3 and I tried to set this gesture configuration up, but obviously messed it up. I'll try it once next release drops. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I was about to release the beta tonight but then I realized CM handles the nav bar differently... So I need to do extra work for CM. They even changed behavior from Android 4.3 to 4.4 I need to take care of. That really sucks... Sorry guys, hopefully tomorrow. This update is getting pretty annoying :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] schrickz:
hide apps in drawer is the primary reason I've been using XGELS.

But now, I'm using all the app drawer features.

If only those features will works for the next update on trebuchet, that enough for me. ?

after all, this module aimed at GNL.

[Xposed Framework Modules] LibertyMarine:
I just wanna say a big thanks to the developer ! This is an awesome tool ! Great work !
[Xposed Framework Modules] vanpr7:
Thanks!

Just wanna thank the developer for doing a great job of adding all these options and features to the GEL. One feature which i would love to have would be having the option to create folders in the app-drawer. (I have tons of apps andit makes organizing much more easier :P). Thanks once again. :).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Snuffalofagus:
Hey, [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION], thanks a TON for this module. Ever since GEL debuted on 4.4, I loved it but it was SO lacking in customization. You've brought what a great amount of users wanted from the start to us, and for that, thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DopeJam:
this!
[Xposed Framework Modules] TenderloinShadow:
theKnut is well aware of this request and I'm sure hell get to it when he can.

Although I do agree that such a thing would be truly awesome. Lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
B1.4 available

fixed: swiping down on either side if one swipe down option is disabled, thanks to [MENTION=5716194]elevengu[/MENTION] for the heads up

Current issues:

dragging an app from the app drawer doesn't show the uninstall symbol (but you can still place it there to uninstall)

Tell me what you think of the new UI!

I didn't find the time to care about translation stuff. I'll probably do this tomorrow. Please wait until I post the strings.xml. I will still change stuff.

Please report anything which is behaving weird for you. Have a look at the new features and give proper feedback (Xposed log, logcat, screen shots, screen recordings).

If you are not planing on giving feedback then don't use this apk!

XposedGELSettings B1.4 Build 1

Thoughts on donations:

PLEASE! If you already donated more than the minimal option, get in contact with me and I will refund you! You will have to purchase something within the app to get it to work but I will refund you. Google doesn't support gifting so this is how we need to do it.

Donating doesn't mean I owe you something. I will still do what I want. You'll be able to join a G+ group in which you'll get prior support from me. This group also allows for beta testing, which means you'll get beta apk's automatically though Google Play. As a result you'll get new features earlier. The donation will unlock any future limitations I might implement.

Heading to bed now :eek:
[Xposed Framework Modules] poczynek:
Great ui! Clean. Love it. Ok so in the 'im/export' menu nothing happens when you hit the 'donate only' button.
[Xposed Framework Modules] brainimpact:
Is it possible to add icon packs support?
[Xposed Framework Modules] poczynek:
Ok am getting some fcs after donating and then saving settings and then restoring! 'unfortunately Google search has stopped'. Can't get back to home screen!

Have had to boot into recovery and restore a nandroid. Launcher is FCing with new build. This is after donating, saving settings then restoring settings.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Don't post a request 80 pages into the thread without searching first. Not only has this been requested many times, but the dev had responded to this request specifically at least twice.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Did you reboot after updating to this build? Does Google search give you issues with xgel disabled? Can you post a logcat?
[Xposed Framework Modules] poczynek:
No didn't reboot after updating. I saved settings after donating and all good. Then I thought I'd hit 'restore home screen' and that's when FCed. Had to restore nandroid as couldn't get to launcher as Google search fc. Can I capture logcat even if I can't get to launcher because of fc?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
It's definitely recommended to reboot after updating. And always post a logcat if you have FC issues. Otherwise there's no telling what, specifically, caused it. I'm not sure if your log will still have the relevant info after a restore but theknut can check it out.

Also, are you able to return to a stable state with xgels disabled? I ask because some people have had issues with the latest GNL update (I don't know if you're on GEL or GNL).
[Xposed Framework Modules] poczynek:
Yes so the FC issues are only when restoring the home screen layout. Problem is once I restore I can't get back to launcher to get a log cat and then I have to restore the nandroid which won't save the log cat!

Yes so can't even disable xgel as can't get to xposed! And am on latest gnl and have not had issues before.

Can anyone confirm if they have a fc on the launcher if they use the new restore home screen function?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Are you able to just reboot your phone without restoring a backup? If so, you should be able to get a logcat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] poczynek:
Yes can reboot but cannot get to launcher due to fc.

Actually I've got an idea - will not make it my default launcher and then when I hit home button it should look for other launcher. Let me try now.

Is it feasible to make it open the search bar? This way it would be possible to hide the search bar on both the home screen and Google Now page and still be able to access it somehow.

Anyway, good work on B1.4, it's working great for me!
[Xposed Framework Modules] nemolivier:
Thank's for the 1.4 update. I've only found one problem : donate button don't work in im-/export section.

I don't understand why the "turn back button to sleep button" only available on default screen : on other screens the back button do nothing, so the sleep option would be great too.

I'm not fan of background in app but it's only an aesthetic question.

[Xposed Framework Modules] haydnlj:
Thanks so much OP, definitely worth the wait!

I'm running AOKP kitkat on Nexus 5, and can confirm that the nav bar icons do not change (I.e home does not become app drawer icon). Functionality however works great, so this is only cosmetic - awesome and intuitive mod.

Home screen status bar clock does not hide also.

Not currently running other xposed modules that tweak nav bar or status bar clock - just standard AOKP settings for what it's worth.

Love the new UI.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chrisch91:
1.4 is amazing! Love the new ui. Found no bugs so far. Thx for great work!

Edit: specially i like the screen off button on default home screen :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
1.4 -- can't wait! However, any attempt to download stalls at the 56% point. Multiple attempts, all the same result :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Snuffalofagus:
Hmm. I know the whole "Home key turns into the "all apps" key" is more of a "your mileage may vary" type of feature (it either works or it doesn't depending on ROM setup) aesthetic wise, on my home screen, the "Home key"'s image is still "home". The function works, but I was really looking forward to the aesthetic part of the feature. (Running Slimkat 3.0 [MENTION=2358086]440[/MENTION] DPI) might there be a compatibility fix in the future [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION]?

EDIT: Also using Softkeyz to change the nav icons, though I believe the aesthetic part of the "home key → all apps key" feature has more to do with the DPI since another module I'm using "tinted status bar" can change the color of the nav icons without any problems at all.

Bug report / feature request

Hey Alex, great work with the new UI and the new functions.

Small feature request:

Is it possible for you to use the actual wallpaper in your background instead of the mountain view?

Quick bug report:

The donate button on the Import/Export does not work on my N5.

I can see that there's a reaction of my tap but it doesn't open anything.

Donation via the donation menu worked fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Where did I say to read 80 pages? The search button is there for a reason. And I don't want to be a mod, I want theknut to keep developing this module because it's awesome and he's become increasingly frustrated with the continued requests that he's already addressed. If you took the time to read a few pages you would know that.

It also wouldn't be 80 pages if it weren't for all the repeated requests.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Thanks guys for the feedback and the beers! The donate button in Im-/Export doesn't do anything because I didn't assign it to do anything ;) But you are right, it should guide you to the Donation page.

To the guys with nav bar button problems. If the nav bar buttons are not working the other features such as hiding the clock and go to sleep doesn't work as well. It'll cause an exception and therefore I can't install my broadcast receiver. Currently I'm only supporting AOSP and CM. CM took three to four hours yesterday because they do stuff differently and they changed behavior from 4.3 to 4.4. So I need to take care of all of these. I can try to make it work with AOKP and Slimkat but I currently don't know how to determine which ROM is installed. Does someone know how I can determine whether AOSP, CM, AOKP and stuff is installed?

I'm also reminding you to post logcats and Xposed logs. If I would have seen the exception I might have already fixed it. Now I need to flash those ROMs and try it for myself which takes even longer....
[Xposed Framework Modules] bornoxt:
Maybe here's a solution for some problems:

On my Nexus 5 it was necessary to define the standard homescreen first in the "Homescreen" section of XGELS.

Otherwise the buttons were only visible on the "normal" homescreen for a short time after a reboot.

After some minutes they were only visible and functional on the Google Now page.

I've set the standard homescreen setting to 2 to let the buttons work on the first screen right of the Google Now page.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Andriy2:
The 1st page is Google Now

2nd page = 1st home screen

[Xposed Framework Modules] bornoxt:
Thanks, that's more clear than my explanation.

I think it's necessary to do this once because before that there were nothing selected in this dialogue on my phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
The new nav bar buttons only show up when you're on your default home screen. This is because if you are on another home screen, the home button should still serve as the home button and take you to your default home screen. As a user mentioned above, Google now might be your default home screen when you enable this mod so you would need to change that. So if the new nav bar buttons seem intermittent, check first if it's just because you're seeing them on your default screen and not your other home screens.
