You are right. You deserve a donation or two or three or more ;)

Just donated you 5 bucks, buddy. You deserve it!

Keep up the good work
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
I think that would be an awesome feature, and I would definitely use it. That being said, it doesn't have any place in this module, since it's not a launcher feature. I don't think it's douchey at all to not include it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] AnyOfYou:
Hi

Hi, guys, I'm the guy who pull the "add feature to change app label" request. I implement this feature is only becasue some apps that I use is named not standard (like 'feedly' or 'shadowsocks'). I'm got a little uncomfortable with that. I think app's name should be follow "Upper Camel Case" standard.

This should be a launcher function because it just "change app label" in the launcher , not really rename the app.

I know this feature most of people will never need it. So if theknut deny this pull request , that 's OK.:)
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Hey man, thanks for tuning in! I decided to merge your pull request but I will have to slightly alter the code since it doesn't feel like my code. I will need to maintain it and it will be harder if I don't "know" the code. Of course I will give props to you!

Thanks for your contribution! Next time please approach me before starting to implement. As you may have noticed this really bothered me.

I want to keep XGELS slim and not bloated. Even though I love GB there are many many features I didn't use. In XGELS I want the user to use every feature. Thats my goal!
[Xposed Framework Modules] logonaniket:
Thanks a lot for this awesome mod. Can you also include custom icon pack support (unicon). I dont like unicon module which js not even available in xposed downloads section. Also, having single module instead of multiple will be great.
[Xposed Framework Modules] blackbearblanc:
Would it be possible to add individual icon changes through gallery picker?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
You just answered your own question. The feature already exists with Unicon, why duplicate the funtionality? Having multiple modules doesn't slow anything down on your phone and you can use XGELS to hide the Unicon app from the app drawer to prevent clutter - and you can manage everything easily with the xposed app. You should jump through this thread and read a few pages (maybe even use search) - you will see that not only has theknut made it clear that he's not duplicating other modules/launchers, but that this has been requested many times - you're not doing anyone any favors by repeating the request.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Here's the email to the dev of Unicon: mailto:support@ruqqq.sg

This would be a more appropriate request for that module since it deals with icon packs.

Accidentally stumbled across a little bug.

If you swipe left on your last homescreen to enter the app drawer, pause for a second and without lifting swipe right when the drawer opens it takes you to the last page of your app drawer.

At this stage it's actually a pretty cool little bug. Can we keep it? I've christened it Drawer Fast Forward.

However pressing the home button causes the app drawer to open again. Pressing home again causes the search bar to appear followed by gnow.

Similar graphical glitches occur if you select an app then return home.

I searched and was wondering if there is a way to backup the homescreens ie icon locations similar to nova???

I see you can backup the settings like 5 rows and 5 colums...hide google bar etc etc

but no where to backup the icon locations???

THanks

and great work!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
Anyone trying to replicate this. It only appears to happen when you have a single homescreen.

Sent from my HTC O'ne-xus
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
I can reproduce it every time following your steps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
I like it apart from the ensuing graphical glitches. If you scroll out of the drawer there's no glitches. Here's a repeatability video.

Just dropping another thank you, the more I use this the more I can't imagine life before this mod. I LOVE the swipe down for quick settings/notifications!

I felt the same way reading all the requests that poured in after 1.3 dropped, where's the effin gratitude people? LOL and yes, welcome to devving.

Here is my last feature request: don't change a thing, stop now while it's PERFECT!

This is a mod that makes sense and is feature rich. It filled the void that kit kat left in the launcher.
[Xposed Framework Modules] joshsurber:
Is there ANY way other than PayPal that I can donate? Google Wallet, Amazon Payments, Google Play gift card, Amazon gift card? It won't be until next month (this month is really tight) but I want to give something for this project. (X-posted to XGELS and GravityBox)
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Soon! Thank you! See this post:

Basically you'll be able to "purchase" something within the app with your Google Play account. Thats the same one with which you buy other apps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] joshsurber:
Will you have multiple donation options? Or will it be a fixed amount?

[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Unless he specifies specific amounts usually its whatever you choose. And the more you donate the higher priority you get when there are feature requests and change requests usually but that is always up to the developer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
First one to guess the two new features get's cookie or a banana (your decision).

And yeah, finally a new UI!

Tell me if you like the nav bar as it is now or not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hhill13:
I just downloaded this from the Xposed repository but the one function I was looking for (hiding apps from the app drawer) is not working. Is there something I'm missing/skipping? I go into the settings > "Select the apps to hide" > Select all of the desired apps > Reboot but nothing happens :confused: Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm semi-new to using Xposed and the modules (less than a week in). I'm running 4.4.2 stock on my Moto G btw if it matters.

EDIT: I thinkn I realized why it's not working for me. I'm using ADW Launcher Ex and I'm assuming this only applies to the Google Experience Launcher, hence the GEL in the title lol oops!
[Xposed Framework Modules] hipporun:
Correct. Only for Google launcher.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
UI looks really nice!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Much better!! Best one screenfull or each catagory.

I have hardware buttons so do not use it. Looks OK but different, best keep "standard."
[Xposed Framework Modules] blackbearblanc:
I suggest a swipe in effect of app drawer. When using app drawer as last screen it would look cool. Better than the default fade in effect I think.

But Unicon is for icon packs. My request is for the launcher. To hold finger on an icon and be able to edit it
[Xposed Framework Modules] shinesthru:
If BBB thinks per-icon editing is a good design idea, it's probably a good idea. ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] tpcrackpipe:
Loving this module. I'd love to be given the ability to backup app icon positions so when I flash new roms I don't have to set up all the pages again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Unicon affects the launcher. My only point is that you might have better luck requesting this of the Unicon dev since that module already makes icon changes to the launcher. I'm not trying to argue with you, just save time since theknut has been clear that he is avoiding some features that are or could be implemented elsewhere. If theknut can and wants to implement this feature, awesome. But it's been requested I don't know how many times and he hasn't yet.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Nobody ever said it wasn't a good idea.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Just to make things clear for the future: I won't implement anything which I wouldn't use myself. I also marked icon support red in the OP, which means it's not coming any time soon.

Furthermore this is a huge effort. Just for a reference: the app rename feature we discussed a few days back is 800+ lines of code. Implement icon support for single apps will be double or trice the amount.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faddys123:
Hi,

First of all would just like to thank you for this awesome mod. I've been waiting for this type of thing for ages and here it is!!

I was wondering if it possible to set transparency for icons so make the just a bit transparent enough to see what's behind it.

Hope you will consider it. I'll understand if you don't want to as it's not a major deal but was wondering if it's possible

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] bleached45:
Thank you so much for this module!

I really liked some of the features of GEL when I updated to 4.4 but coming from custom launchers, wasn't comfortable with the lack of settings. So this is perfect.

I was wondering though, would it be possible to implement vertical scrolling in the app drawer (pre-ICS style)? If you aren't familiar with what I'm asking, I mean to remove the pages from the app drawer and just make it a grid of icons that scroll top to bottom. I've always found flipping through pages of apps to be slower and a bit cumbersome. It is understandable on a tablet sized device, but on mobile I never understood it.

If it seems too low priority/too much of a hassle to implement, I understand. It is just the only gripe I still have with GELand this module. Thank you again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] my95z34:
I have to agree, this is the one feature that would make this already amazing module absolutely perfect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
I don't think you'll have any luck requesting anything from the Unicon dev, since he seems to have completely abandoned the project.

That said, I agree, no one should be bothering theknut about it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] motorhead1916:
[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION], you're evil :)

Thanks for this lovely module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Since nobody has mentioned it and the nav bar is quite obvious: Has anyone noticed that the clock is gone on default homescreen?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
We noticed but didn't want to mention it and then regret its not released yet;):p

This teasers kill me
[Xposed Framework Modules] PlutoDelic:
Any way to make margin changes like Apex? at least for the homescreen, for the widgets to be more precise
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Other modules do all that, no-clocks, two-clocks, colors, etc. I have found the modules hitting the status bar, unless programmed with utmost care, can cause startup problems. I have abandoned most of them.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
As you may have noticed with all the other features you'll be able to switch each setting on or off. The only thing which is set without any switch to it is the background color for the app drawer. Everything else must be enabled to work.

This was the major complain I had about GB when I tried it because you didn't have the chance to do only a single setting. At least when I tried it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Yea I faced it from GB too

Learning from mistakes of other dev lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] HaarisTheBoss:
1st new feature : ability to remove clock from homscreen(read the replies)

2nd new feature : ability to remove the app drawer icon

Ps the nav bar looks great
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Oh man, that sucks. Unicon has been a very handy module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Actually the app drawer icon was introduced with an earlier tease.

The features in the tease are:

hide clock on default homescreen

power off button in the nav bar when on default homescreen

So do you want a cookie or a banana?
[Xposed Framework Modules] nemolivier:
Same here : for each new nightly (every day) I need to rearranged all my desktops.

But I already have one of my wishes covered...

[Xposed Framework Modules] testmonkey1:
Hello mate! Thank you for your work, GEL is great but I'm a customization freak and without your module I wouldn't even consider using it. Too bad you have decided to not implement folders in drawer and icon packs, but oh well I understand you completely!

Do you mind adding support for a non-transparent status bar? This is the only feature missing that's really killing me hehe :) (I'm not talking about any status bar colors or anything, just the default black status bar at top, Nova Launcher has such option)

Thank you for taking the time to read/reply to this.

app drawer gesture?

swipe down,back to home screen.

is that cool?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
(I suppose you mean back from the app drawer)

I like that you think that way :)

I'm all about intuitiv handling. So of course I already tried that for the initial gesture release but it didn't work. I had a look again yesterday but noticed I need to approach it a bit different but I will try it again today.

Cheers!
[Xposed Framework Modules] blackbearblanc:
Thanks for reply. Missed that note.

Swiping down for quick settings get stuck halfway some times.

If you implement a shortcut to launch app drawer then it can be done with a shortcut on the home screen or Zooper Widget.

If you implement gestures, a simple swipe up

"Would it be possible for you to add folders to the app drawer? I have a bunch of apps that are very similar and rarely used that would be great to place into a folder (I'd rather not hide them completely as they are still used)."

I agree - folders in the app drawer would be great. Love the ability to hide things but this would put it on par with Nova for me.

This is great. I'd love to be able to customize the launcher.

[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:

[Xposed Framework Modules] lfelipe1501:
I will like to gestures to the launcher. would be great
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Are you on Cataclysm? I had this bug even before I started my module. But I never had it when using the gesture.

Furthermore I'm just invoking a method which pulls down the quicksettings. Pretty sure it's not a mistake on my end since this is a method everyone uses to pull down the notification / quicksettings panel.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
True.

i've seen that happen with other launchers too...

so it's probably an android thing...

i have a question though.. not sure if it's related to this module or some other settings in the rom

every time i press home or back out of an app to the home screen, the launcher seems to reload itself each time.

is this how it's meant to work? or is there something else that can help?

If you turn off the quick setting gesture you can use the whole part for notifications
[Xposed Framework Modules] chelsea_fc:
Awesome mod, hope you can make separate app drawer custom grid options for potrait and landscape...
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
This has been fixed some days ago.

Fix will be in the beta I might push today!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Widget into is stored differently, by volatile ID numbers or such. This is why when one flashes a new ROM, Overlays widgets need be replaced. Often homescreen widgets also need be placed anew on upgraded ROM. Check how other opensource launchers do save and restore.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Can you please be more specific or at least link me to an open source launcher? If they are volatile how are they stored? Or where? They need to be stored somewhre at least because they are stored over reboot.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
They are stored but not the same way as icons (referenced by com.my.apps.identification?).

Trebuchet (is it opensource?) is the one from CM and XDA, might check with this. I really have not tried them all. Launcher3 is coming with 4.4.2 ROMs and may be opensource. There are several Kitkat knockoff launchers on Play.

You might contact Overlays dev since this app deals with this problem lior@applay.co

There is also a group on Google+ for this app.

=====================

A very irritating problem to address:

If the google search bar is hidden on the homescreen, that "remove [x]" icon is very much in the way. Moving and icon? Much too easy to lose it is passing that area or trying to position it top-center. Hide the notifications bar and it is night impossible to miss that thing top-center. Makes using that larger screen area very finicky indeed.

So either need a different place for it that makes it hard to accidentally remove icons or a safety (remove? yes() no()) or some foolproof gesture to replace the whole paradigm, i.e. move icon totally off the top.

While we are at this:

GNL too often comes up missing one or more home screens. Came up with a blank the morning. Getting it back involves placing an added icon, going into XGel and changing something, homescreen rows or columns works best, and restarting launcher. This will often get it back. Rebooting can work but usually comes up with same problem.

So maybe XGel could have a function doing all this for me, possible on the new restore function. Add something, change columns, restart, remove it, change back restart. Yuk. But I have to do this every few days it seems :(
