[Xposed Framework Modules] pdane:
Theknut,

Thank you for all of your hard work. You have, in my opinion, made the best available launcher out there.

Just an FYI. I'm using build 7 with Slimkat 3.6 on my Nexus 5 and can't get the home button to change to the app drawer or hide the clock on the default home screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Build 7. Glorious.

Got wallpaper without reboot.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrbobo1:
firstly, I can't say enough how sweet this app is

secondly, like I said before you don't need to change anything

thirdly, my wishlist would be an option to remember the page in the app drawer you were in, so if you swipe up to open it, go to the second page, then if you close it you can open back up to the second page of the drawer by swiping up again from the home screen.

tweaks like this are so tiny compared to what you already built so only consider it if you want to/feel like it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Update to V1.4

Wohoooo V1.4 is live and available on Google Play Store!!

It took me a bit longer but I think it's definitely worth the waiting!

Changelog

added: new gesture: swipe down to close app drawer

added: icon and folder backup/restore (requires root!!)

added: pressing home on default homescreen opens app drawer

added: pressing back on default homescreen turns off the screen

added: option to show alternative icons for the navigation buttons on default homescreen (does currently not work on Slimkat)

added: hide clock on homescreen (this may conflict with other xposed mods)

added: hide app drawer button

added: hot reboot and full reboot option if changes which require a reboot are made (requires root!!)

added: using libsuperuser by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

added: blurring the wallpaper and make it the background of XGELS

added: donate options

added: Chinese simplified translation by [MENTION=3906811]AnyOfYou[/MENTION]

added: Slovakian translation by [MENTION=5064841]pyler[/MENTION]

improved: new awesome UI

misc: renamed "hotseat" to "app drawer", you'll have to make those settings again

fixed: gestures are disabled on GNow

fixed: Search bar showing after the recent GNL update

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

Concerning the donation option

I tried to make those convinience features such as Restart launcher, XGELS settings import/export and Launcher homescreen layout backup/restore donation only. They are features done by my app and are easy to do by yourself. No functionality of the XGELS module itself is limited! But I might introduce limitations to new features in the future.

Furthermore donators can apply for a Google Plus group "XGELS Donators Group" which basically allows me to push beta releases to you earlier. Which means the official release you'll see in the Play Store might be one increment behind the beta release (thats kind of what Greenify does already).

If you have already donated via PayPal PLEASE contact me! You'll be refunded!

Thanks to everyone for testing and reporting! Thanks for everyone who contributed!

A special shout out to my private testers! You guys are amazing :good:

Make sure to install the app with the same account you made the inapp purchase. Otherwise it doesn't show the donate version for you!

Everyone please install the XGELS from the Play Store, not from Xposed Repo!

Has anyone tried long pressing the headset button to pull up google search for dialling any of your contacts through voice?

When i long press google search pulls up & i hear the beep with the female voice, but it immediately FCs
[Xposed Framework Modules] Persechini:
I regularly check for updates on the xposed repo anyway as I have many modules installed, is there any other advantage installing it from play store or is it optional? If I donate via the xposed repo installation of xgels how do I use donate-only features in my other device?
[Xposed Framework Modules] TerryV:
1.4 update

Great work [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION]. I like the new ui. Amazing work to see in such a short time. Thank you.

If possible when inside a setting to use the back button to get us back to the settings list instead of exiting the app?
[Xposed Framework Modules] schrickz:
[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] : congrat for the launch on playstore.

this module definitely gonna be a big hit on those GNL alike launchers.

I've a request & a question; would you keep hide apps in appdrawer as a free feature ?

I'm using trebuchet & that is the only feature I really need.

And my question is the free version gonna contain ads ?

[Xposed Framework Modules] schrickz:
hide apps in drawer is free for now, what I mean is in the future.

GNL is a great launcher, but I preferred trebuchet for it scroll effect & built-in iconpack support.

What I really missed from trebuchet is hide apps in the drawer.

•• sent from my thumb to your eyes ••
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Congrats on Play. Updated from there.

I donated, I believe, through Google, not Paypal. OK?

Trebuchet? Decent launcher. One feature put in there was a scrollable multipage hotseatbar. But I have all seven on ours so ... do not need it any longer. But ... worth considering :)

Transition effects? Vire is king at this. How often do I need to entertain myself with these, however? I am actually using one homescreen, scroll left to Google Now, right to app drawer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] schrickz:
man, there isn't such feature exist in trebuchet.

[Xposed Framework Modules] PedroBustamonte:
Hi,

how do I restart the launcher in the new version? Is that circle button in the upper right corner supposed to do that or am I blind? I don't understand why that should be a donate feature...
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Works fine for me. Logcat missing...

Doesn't matter from were you've made the inapp purchase. As long as you install the app from the same account in Google Play it's fine. Also if you install it from GP and are in the Donators Group you'll get updates earlier through stable beta builds. That doesn't work if you installed it from the Installer.

Don't know. The UI is a preset from Google.

As I wrote in the release post nothing you could do in V1.3 is donate only now. Only new features MAY be donate. No ads.

Restarting the launcher is the easiest thing to do. You can do that by yourself. Either reboot your phone completely or kill Google Search process.

It's funny because the 10'000 lines of code I wrote are completely free but that three lines to kill the launcher isn't. So rather complain about that convinience feature in the UI being donate only instead of being grateful for the free stuff the module actually does.

Some things I simply can't understand...
[Xposed Framework Modules] drgreenth:
I want to donate and join beta group. How much to donate to get all features?

[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
But that is in Apex correct? I want the OK Google feature but doesn't it get disabled with other launchers that don't support it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] bagarwa:
Awesome. Looks like I'm finally going to use GNL in near future. :highfive:

A few feature requests -

Tabs and folders in app drawer

Swipe gestures on homescreen icons. (i.e. swipe up to open alternate app assigned / shortcut etc).

Multiple dock pages.

Support for icon packs; without needing separate installation of Unicon too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] manchucka:
Yes. I swipe up to open Google Gesture search, down to open (and close) app drawer. The ability to choose targets of shoes would really open up GEL for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lfelipe1501:

[Xposed Framework Modules] playahate:
is it possible to add "Ok Google" from the main screen for non English(US) languages?
[Xposed Framework Modules] bug_nuts:

[Xposed Framework Modules] p4rot:
Icon packs support with the ability to change icons of each app seperatly, something unicon doesnt do.
[Xposed Framework Modules] techhahn:
could you add blur background in the app drawer?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Any way to shrink the app icons on home screen? I like the OK Google feature so I don't want to use a different launcher. Anyone?
[Xposed Framework Modules] droid_junkie:
WOW. :good: What a brilliant module. Have been looking for something like this. I don't like to make too many modifications to the stock AOSP look. This module is just perfect as I don't need fancy scroll-animations and what not.

The only thing keeping me from using GEL(or GNL) is the icon size. They're not just big, they're HUGE! If only I had the option to make them a little smaller, it would be perfect.

Thanks for all your hard work. Really appreciate it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Icon resizing will be implemented in the next release!
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Agrees. It's awesome...but icons are waaaay too big.

is a new diaper really required? I was wondering if i can go ahead and re-use my old one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] SuperKrog:
my hotseat used to be with 7 icons in the past (gs4 with 361 dpi)

suddenly it went to 6 icons, so the drawer icon was not in the center anymore...

I installed this module just to force again to 7 icons the hotseat, but I can choose only 4, 6, 8

strangely I can choose (and I have) 7 coloumns in the home....
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Like... Today? I have an idea and probably already know where to look. But I won't release an update until I fix the voice search overlay bug.

[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
search box bug?

first, thanks for this. i've been wanting to come back to stock launcher from nova to get left swipe Gnow back and this has enough features to let me do that!

think i found a bug:

1. disable search box on homescreen (but leave it enabled in google now)

2. go to homescreen

3. launch an app (i used chrome)

4. swipe up from home button to launch Gnow - search box doesn't appear

going back to homescreen then swiping left to Gnow brings the search box back. also, if you start from the Gnow screen and launch an app (from the recent apps list) then swipe up from home to access Gnow, the search box does show up like it's supposed to. but if you start the process from the homescreen, it doesn't work

feature request - this is something i use in nova, the ability to not only remove the app drawer button (and then add a widget to the homescreen to launch it if you want), but then the option to launch the app drawer using the home button if you're on the home screen. in nova, if i'm not on the homescreen then the home button takes me home but then from there the home button launches the app drawer. not a huge deal but if possible it would be nice to have the ability to reassign what the home button does in certain circumstances. the home button would still have to be able to take you "home" though, and then only do it's other function if you're already "home."
[Xposed Framework Modules] blackroseMD1:
You are awesome! Thank you.

Thanks for this.. I was looking for something to change the home screen grid and app drawer grid and also icon resize. Niiice

[Xposed Framework Modules] SilentException:
Thanks for all the hard work theknut. I'm using this module since v1.3 to hide the apps from the app drawer and few more smaller functions (resize widgets, rotation, default home screen) but I also like having all the extra functionality if needed :)

Since v1.4 the app very frequently shows a message to install from Google Play. But why? Do you think you could turn this message off or show it only once? I like having all the Xposed modules installed and managed through Xposed installer and not Play store.

I've also been testing System UI Tweaks, more precisely Home button that switches to open app drawer on default home screen. While the functionality worked the home icon didn't change. Perhaps it's a collision with Gravity Box, I need to check but I thought to report it. I did reboot.

And a small request: Google Now was separate app before and I got used that pressing BACK in Google Now brings me back to launcher. Since GN is now just a screen in launcher, pressing back here doesn't do anything. Is it possible to have option that enables BACK key on GN to go to default or first home screen?
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Boom headshot!

Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. XGELS is an incredible app and was a no brainer purchase!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Persechini:
I think xgels defaults the home screen to screen 1, and as the leftmost screen is gn, it just goes there.you need only to change the home screen to screen 2 on xgels and i it behaves as it did before

The home button should take you from the Gnow page to your default homescreen.

For your issue, I would try uninstalling xgels, rebooting the phone, then reinstall xgels from the play store and reboot once more. Does everything work fine after that?

Out of curiosity, have you donated? Something is wrong regardless, but if donating fixes it for you that might be the easiest thing to do.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

that's kind of his gauge for what features require a donation. if it's just a convenience, it requires a donation. so far, every function is possible without paying.

Can we get icon theme support please?
[Xposed Framework Modules] joshsurber:
Discussed, considered, and rejected. Try Unicon; it works system-wide rather than just in the launcher anyway. It's in the Play Store.

[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Can you please test this? http://bit.ly/1hCiQUI

Delete the image you've made. Install the app, reboot, wait two minutes. Do whatever you've made to make it crash. It should toast a message but not crash.

Also everyone who had issues with close app drawer gesture being too long, test this. For me it's actually too sensitive but....

[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
Have you tried the updated version?

Comparing homescreen swipe length to app drawer swipe length I reckon the latter is about 3 times longer in the play store version. Personally I feel it's a bit inconsistent. Revised version is much better in my opinion.

[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Xgels was created specifically for kitkat and the gel/gnl launcher. doesn't mean it can't work on JB or your launcher but that's most likely your problem. Try installing GEL (google for the installer) and see if that works (it should). If not, then maybe look into a CM kitkat rom.

Well, they need to get their heads out of their 4th point of contact. ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
In my opinion if you've rooted, installed xposed and XGels it should be a piece of cake to find an easy way to restart gnl. Or you could just save yourself the hassle and donate. Everyone after all has a choice in that respect.

Problem is that people get used to a feature set and you take them away. If it hadn't had that functionality to begin with no one would care. Suggestion; do what Plex does, where new features are donate only for about two versions then become free. Seems to work well.

Tapatalk | ΠΞXUЅ5 | Stock KitKat 4.4.2 | Xposed Framework
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Plex does that for beta testing. If you donate for xgels, you also get to beta test.

Think of it this way, you got to try a paid feature for free for a limited time. A lot of services do it this way as well. And in the end, if you're still too cheap to donate, then you can still manually kill the launcher.

If you increase it you may have to also decrease the icon size. Otherwise they overlap each other.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Leon4992:
Thanks for the quick reply! Anyway it seem i don't have that options in my Homescreen settings.

P.S. I can't post links, so i attached the screenshots! Translating in Italian the "Dock Icon Count" setting it should be "Numero Icone della Dock" but there's nothing like that. For what matters my phone is a Moto G full stock 4.4.2!

EDIT: Please disregard everything i said, i was searching for the wrong setting, it was "Distanza Icone" which i tought it changed the distance between icons! I think it's a bad translation since it means "Distance between icons" and not "Dock icon count". Hope it get fixed!
[Xposed Framework Modules] GermainZ:
I've cleaned this thread from the various rants (and replies to said rants) about donate only features. I'd like to remind you all to use the report button instead of stepping in and participating in the argument, please. :)

About the 'paid' features: as long as they fall within our guidelines, they're fine (basically, non necessary features can be paid as long as they don't cripple the app as a whole.) If you don't like them, don't use the app, and definitely don't come here whining about extra, unnecessary features costing you a whole buck in a disrespectful manner. Constructive criticism is definitely always welcome, but the accusations here were completely uncalled for.

Thanks and carry on :)
