EDIT: IGNORE BELOW...LOOKS LIKE I WAS TOO LATE WITH THIS POST.

I appreciate the feedback guys but it IS also true that the other launchers are quite different to the GNL launcher. With XGELS combined with GNL we get Hotword, larger icons, excellent community and active support plus updates on XDA, more stock feel etc. I also try my best to make the most of apps I've paid for.

I know Nova has introduced hot word detection but it is buggy and unresponsive at times, furthermore, there is no communication from the dev. He doesn't even have a bug report system and refuses to reply to emails. Icons are smaller than stock GNL sizes even after maxing the size. Many more I don't want to list here.

I would be grateful for a more comprehensive response such as 'it isn't possible to separate the Google Now page from GNL' or 'it is way too complicated and introduces irreversible bugs' etc instead of 'just use something else'.

No disrespect guys. I know you guys meant none too. Anyways this is my last post on this particular idea. ??

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] you can add an option for white like the very first version had. And the blurred wallpaper option can stay premium.

But at least a white option for free users

I tried achieving this through holo themer module, but it seems ui isn't based on holo
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
Thanks for your reply. And thanks for your work on this module. I refuse to go to another launcher and am happy to live with the Google now page as is. Cheers. ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] GBP85:
I just tested turning Google Now off and the module still works with the launcher. This will allow you all the options you desire.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52712716&postcount=2266

The "bug" that was reported ended being because G Now was disabled - I assume this will still happen. just an fyi.

[MENTION=3292308]subhani[/MENTION] - I'm just tagging you so that you see this as well to watch out for it in case you do try disabling G Now while using xgels.

Having had to go through the whole root process again, I tried the Nexus 5 out for a day without XGels... and Gravity Box! All I have to say is that if it were not for these 2 apps, I'd be waiting for the iPhone 6 to come out.

These 2 apps make a phone perfect.

Now... erm... is there anyway we can sync Android perfectly with iPhoto and iTunes!!! ;)

But seriously, absolutely brilliant and thank you theknut and C3C076 for all your efforts :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I don't really understand everything you wrote but are you aware of

XGELS -> Settings -> Export (XGELS settings export)

XGELS -> Backup/Restore -> Backup (Launcher layout backup)

From what I understood you only did a launcher backup but not a XGELS settings backup (both backups are stored in /sdcard/XposedGELSettings).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jazz__75:
Excuse me: sorry sorry sorry

I had not seen that there 'were two sections backup / restore:

1) General / backup / restore: for icons and folders

2) General / Preference / backup / restore: for rows, columns, margin, etc. etc.

theknut: sorry for my oversight.

I have now tried to do a backup and restore and it works perfectly in every element.

I edited my post No. 2704 and 2706
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
Thanks for the heads up to both GBP85 and Cadarn07. I'll give that a shot and check the behaviour. Cheers.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
am in a similar boat as you..

i never use google now but i just won't use any other launcher though i have nova & holo paid.

i use launcher3 which is essentially GNL without google now & all XGEL options work just fine.

feel free to pm me if you need the apk
[Xposed Framework Modules] Akhilendra Gadde:
Hi , first of all thank you for developing such a great customizable app. Is it possible to you to implement widget overlapping feature in the launcher? Actually I use uccw and some of the widgets need to be overlapped. If others too use uccw , then it might be use full for them too. Anyways, thanks for your time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] golomb igor:
:) thanks for the module
[Xposed Framework Modules] FoferX:
Thanks for the great module.

Is there a way to adjust home screen/folder behavior?

After I launch an app from a folder, then exit back to the homescreen, I would like for that folder to still be open. Is that possible?
[Xposed Framework Modules] drawde40599:
gestures

I couldn't find anying with search . would it be possible to add return to home screen as gesture option ? Or is there a way to do this now I didn't c it
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
this module only modifies the launcher, so when you're not in the launcher (homescreen or app drawer), then this module has no effect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] drawde40599:
IThanks for the reply , I mean from the launcher , like say u have 5 screens and your on screen 5 u could gesture to send u back to your home screen ( 1st screen)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
gotcha. no not a way to do that currently. I tried assigning a gesture to launch the launcher app to see if that would get you back to the first screen but that didn't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
You could check out a 3rd part widget app possibly that ads shortcuts but none comes to mind. maybe Uccw. Just a thought.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ldiomedi:
Your phone doesn't have a hard key or soft key for home? That send you to home screen in every launcher that I know. Faster than any gesture. Sorry if I'm saying something wrong...

[Xposed Framework Modules] drawde40599:
;) all gud :) but thinking like that we really don't need any Roms or mods or anything else because there is a menu and settings right ;P

Im trying this mod out after using nova for last 4 years Its an option there and something I'm used to using , but I wanna use my phone as stock as possible nowadays .
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
I remember in iPhone jailbreak days there was "screen jumps" that created a shortcut that when tapped jumped to the screen it was assigned to and you could drag the 1x1 icon wherever you wanted for placement.
[Xposed Framework Modules] unsivil_audio:
Not sure if its an actual bug or just related to launcher3, but if I tap the upper-right side of my home-screen, it trips the (not visible; hidden) Google search mic. Kinda neat actually, except I've already assigned a gesture to launch Google search (middle-up).
[Xposed Framework Modules] d3xt3r:

[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Settings and keyboard are separate from the launcher, so no that would not be possible with xgels.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

This is strange, I'm not able to reproduce this at all - I could be hitting the wrong spot but I tapped a lot of spots, haha. It could be a compatibility issue with launcher3 as you mentioned.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jazz__75:
Is there any module to use?
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
Look for shaftamle keyboard themes for some sick keyboard themes. There is a theme for system settings just how you describe but I can't recall the name.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I know it doesn't look too hard but this UI got my fighting until now. I finally finished the UI for per app icon support and thought I'd share it with you. I tried to load everything asynchronously so that there is (hopefully) no lag.

[youtube]VgkJ4PhXkJQ[/youtube]

The next step is to make it work with the actual module. It's not hard to do but I'm still brooding over the proper/efficient logic.

[Xposed Framework Modules] bouncingsoul:
maybe dumb question, but how can i create a app drawer button? i don't want it in the dock

:confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
You'll have to create a separate shoetcut for it.

i use more shortcuts from play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts
[Xposed Framework Modules] bouncingsoul:
thanks, but do i have to create one myself? because i can't find it
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
Sorry.. didn't quite get you..

you create a new shortcut using this app on the home screen to act as an app drawer button
[Xposed Framework Modules] bouncingsoul:
yes i know, but in 'choose activity', there is no 'app drawer' to select.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mao04:
I don't think GNL exposes "launch app drawer" as an activity. You could write a script to do it and use a third party app to run it. I want to do the same thing but haven't had time to mess with it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
Mao is right.. there isn't an option.

i just checked as well... strange though..

i use this to create shortcuts for themes..

hmm... so its probably not gonna be possible with tasker either

[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Switched to Nova but still remember the old days[emoji22][emoji53]
[Xposed Framework Modules] MikeRL100:
Module is great, but I have some ideas.

1) Bottomless folders - as in it'd be great if you could reverse engineer a way to remove Google's stupid limit on Folders with Google Now launcher.

Usage scenario: I like to group every single Google app in a folder for quick access. Tried doing this in Apex, success. Tried in GNL, hit arbitrary limit.

2) Find a way to apply the module only to Google Now Launcher. Let the user decide if they want to apply it to Trebuchet or Omni's launcher3, for example, but disable this by default. Who knows what could go wrong? At first glance, stuff seems to work for me with Omni's launcher, but how long until one of the many custom ROM launcher's includes a feature that manages to interfere with XGELS and you get the blame by some clueless user? (Not all are rude or clueless, but every developer and power user knows how stupid some people can be. For example, I just read a Play Store Review calling you a conman. Users are funny. In the head sometimes.) Plus I like control. Could be useful for bug hunting.

3) You know of the settings button that takes you to Google Search settings? If that's not already included, possibly add a way to remap that to XGELS settings. Makes some sense to me. I myself would use that.

4) Does your app have a popup to rate? Try the discreet app library, or whatever it's called. It's on GitHub. Uses a sliding notification. Users are more likely to tap this. Because it's not an annoying popup. Google needs to include something like this by default. Other developers have used it and seen good results - more user engagement and more ratings, mostly better ones.

5) A bug I've noticed with notifications enabled and MissedIt! Installed is that overlays appear over folders. I don't think that looks good or is intended. Could you take a look at this? Thanks!

[Xposed Framework Modules] callousparade:
Is there any way (or has anyone found a good workaround) to force GNL to include the far left screen (the Now screen) when it is centering wallpaper? Using muzei, or any live wallpaper, I can't find a way to get the pictures to show correctly, without disabling scrolling walls (which only sorta works).

Basically, if we have two screens for apps/widgets plus the Now screen far left, we should be centered on the first app screen. Live wallpapers won't see the Now screen, so assume that the first app screen is LEFT, not center. If we have three app screens, it's even worse... Obviously because every other launcher is symmetrical, defaulting to center screen, while GNL is not.

Just wondering if that's something that could be changed in GNL, or if that would be better suited to a change in muzei (being able to define center screen).

Either way, I love this module! If that feature is possible, you'd definitely be getting dinner and some drinks on me (again) :fingers-crossed:

Keep it up!

Hi There

1stly big thanks to the dev for the work on this module. its really good. :good: :highfive:

I started noticing yesterday that some icons disappear from my folders on my homescreen. not sure why this happens.

Can anyone confirm that this has happened to them?

Running GS4 Mini - Carbon Rom 4.4.3 unofficial

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
It happens if your desktop is locked and you try to drag an icon from a folder. It's a bug which is fixed with the coming release.
[Xposed Framework Modules] L.F.B.:
Ok, just flashed from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4, a dirty flash, and XGELS workin smooth here. No problems!
[Xposed Framework Modules] beelow319:
I would like to see this as well. I have been attempting to get it to work for a little while now, but I'm no dev. The google launcher just needs permissions added to its androidmanifest.xml file. I believe I have found the permissions and edited the manifest file correctly but can't recompile the apk. And if I just copy the edited manifest into the apk with 7zip and copy the apk in data\app the widget starts to load but my apk is broken and will force close after like 10 seconds. If the dev of this is interested in adding this functionality I can post a dropbox link to what I have.
[Xposed Framework Modules] A1ps:
I'm having some problems with notification count. The count on several apps is inaccurate. Right now I have no WhatsApp messages - but the count is showing 2. I have no Hangouts messages - but the count is showing 3.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Reboot the launcher. If you get the same counts again it's a problem of MissedIt reporting the wrong stats. If not wait for the next release. I've fixed an issue with notification badges. It might help you with this one.

1. it's on my list, I haven't had a look yet

2. no

3. it's known feature request, maybe I can squeeze it in for the next release. Thanks for reminding me!

4. I avoid reminding people about ratings. User tend to include feature requests or stupid stuff like that and don't give a full 5 star rating. Ratings are rather annyoing most of the times so I don't really ask for it. Besides this the library is more than 300kb (at least last time I checked it). I don't really like including fancy stuff like this for the size it costs. Franco uses it as well, I rated the app and I still got asked to rate. Maybe it's a bug, though.

5. why shouldn't counts be shown on follders? You have apps in the folder, how would you know they have a notification?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rottingroom:
Any chance that we could get the ability to change text size in the app drawer?

Edit: Just noticed that changing text size of the home screen does affect text size in the app drawer, but I wish that these text sizes could be the same.
[Xposed Framework Modules] A1ps:
Thanks mate. How do I just reboot the launcher?

Looking forward to the next release.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Weapondrift:
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I downloaded the newest GEL from Xposed yesterday. When I make a change (no matter what it is) I hit the "refresh" button on the top right and I continue to get this error " Killed: Nothing Restart your phone manually." When I do restart my phone there are still no changes. I doubt this will matter but I am using the MotoX
[Xposed Framework Modules] MikeRL100:
With regards to the fifth one, it just seems odd. What if there's multiple apps in a folder capable of getting notifications? Then what happens? Everything else I have no questions on.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
[MENTION=1139617]Weapondrift[/MENTION]

Dude this bloody Moto X got me so many 1 Star ratings on Google Play. I might just exclude it from supported devices. I never got behind the reason why it doesn't work.

One thing maybe: Are you 100000% sure you are actually using Google Now Launcher. Or can you please go to XGELS -> "Settings" -> "Send bug report". In the email you'll find your GNL version. Can you please send it to me?

[MENTION=5748726]A1ps[/MENTION]

Open XGELS and press the circle on the top right corner.

[MENTION=4698234]MikeRL100[/MENTION]

It'll show the total count..........
[Xposed Framework Modules] MikeRL100:
In the case that it shows the total count, it seems logical to me. Questions answered. Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
If you get that message, it usually means the launcher was already killed (maybe you have the xgels setting active where the launcher is automatically killed when you make a change). In this case, just hit home to start the launcher again.

However, it's possible that the launcher isn't killed and xgels can't kill it for some reason. In that case it's probably a device incompatibility like [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] said.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Weapondrift:
I figured out the issue and it had nothing to do with GEL. It had everything to do with me not installing Google Now launcher. #ImAnIdiot

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind! :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
But it should say on every XGELS startup that GNL/Trebuchet is not detected. Does it not show it or did you not read it and pressed the "Never show again" checkbox?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Weapondrift:
yeah that's probably exactly what happened. #nevershowagain

This is amazing. You made this launcher useful!

The only important thing that I still want would be a setting to control the margins for the hotseat. The margins are too large on my phone and it requires me to make my icons one step smaller than I'd like to prevent overlap.

The only other cool thing I would want would be custom categories in the app drawer, but it sounds hard/impossible and not as important as the margins.

Thank you for your work!
