[Xposed Framework Modules] CoreyVidal:
I'm new to XGELS, and just installed for the first time today. Spent some time reading through the thread, and I think I might be encountering two issues. I've attached a screenshot.

I've hid the Google Search Bar across the top, but it has only disappeared, but left the space behind. I can't move anything up into it like in screenshots I'm seeing from others.

Also at the bottom, my dock icons are being cut off, even though I've set the dock icon size to 60% (even at 50%, they're very small, but still being cut off). This is most obvious in Chrome and my 2 folders, but all of them are cut off slightly.

Otherwise, amazing module. I bought the Premium version right away.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Both are known issues. The later is a problem of the launcher itself. I'm only changing the row/column count. GNL calculates the wrong cell sizes. I haven't looked into it, yet. But it's been an issue since the beginning of XGELS.

The space thing is fixed on my local build. But there is still another error. But it's weird in general. The GNL apk should be the same for everyone but in some cases the space isn't set to 0 as in your example.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CitizenLee:
I'm back with the same problem as before but on a different phone :)

Just got a Moto G for one of my kids and as usual XGEL was the first thing I installed after Xposed Framework.

However, I'm getting the same issue I had with my Nexus 5... I can't get it to hide the Google Now bar.

Since I had the issue on the N5, I know that all Google stuff needs to be the latest version, which is it, and XGEL is 1.6.2

What could be causing the issue now? I have no other modules installed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] unsivil_audio:
You're issue intrigues me. I'm curious, will it hide on launcher3? (Attached to post)
[Xposed Framework Modules] premiatul:
"Moving to default screen after device rotation" bug is still present in ver. 1.6.2.

Sorry for bringing the bad news.

3 months XGELS

On 13th of February 2014 at 8:40pm XGELS V1.0 was uploaded :cowboy:

Features:

hide apps

homescreen grid

app drawer grid

"hotseat" icon count

hide icon labels on homescreen / app drawer

1st bug: X count controls Y count and vice versa :silly:

Who of you installed XGELS V1.0 on that day? :highfive:

It's been an awesome time so far and we managed to implement many great features!

More is to come :good:

Prost and thanks to all the supporters!

[Xposed Framework Modules] CitizenLee:
Weird. Same set up here but it just won't work. I didn't have time to spend troubleshooting it so ended up installing Apex Launcher and have set it up to look exactly like KK. I've never used a 3rd party launcher before but it's pretty cool, and my daughter will probably love the fact you can change themes.

Still using XGEL on N5 with no issues though, and like it so much I got the donate version :D

[Xposed Framework Modules] mwrobe1:
OK feature request.

Been spending alot of time outside lately.

Would it be possible to add the following gesture actions:

Screen brightness = %100

Screen brightness = %50

Weather is getting nice and I'm spending alot more time outside :D.

Would be ideal to unlock and have this available in the swipe zones.

Or perhaps add a triple tap gesture with the ability to toggle between %25/%50/%100 brightness?

I'd guess on most of our devices auto-brightness leaves us wanting...thought of this this morning and thought building it into XGELS would be sweet.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BouncingObject:
There are other apps that offer that functionality. It seems rather redundant and unnecessary to offer a feature in the launcher that can be added to your phone by downloading another app like Power Toggles.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
I haven't used power toggles, does it let you assign gestures? I thought it just put widgets on your screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BouncingObject:
No, it doesn't assign gestures, but still offers you a quick option to adjust screen brightness from your notification bar, as well as other options you can set.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Gotcha, thanks. I use gravity box quick settings shortcuts to launch Tasker tasks for brightness control but I can see the desire to do the same thing with gestures. In the end, the goal for many of us is to reduce the amount of objects on our homescreen and notification bar.

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] would it be possible to launch a Tasker task with double tap? Then you wouldn't have to worry about programming everything people might want to do with a gesture. Tasker can fill the gaps you leave and it would allow such things as controlling brightness with double tap.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mwrobe1:
With all due respect (unless you just feel like jumping on a noob today) it shouldn't be that much of a stretch to implement and is completely reasonable..

You try doing that outside (re: the notification bar) in the direct sun where the screen isn't visible and let me know your success rate is. THAT functionality does not exists in any other apps that I know of.

I'm not an Android dev...but a dev nonetheless (SQL/C/VB mostly; for the last 15 years) The framework/classes for the app is obviously set up to handle gesture events. It doesn't seem like its unreasonable to set up a screen brightness property as well. This follows pretty much a standard development life cycle...feature updates that come first usually are ones that take advantage of already present and functioning classes/logic.

And that's something else re: mobile development that I don't get. In an environment where you'd want to minimize power and CPU cycles and process threads; why WOULDN'T you want to piggyback additional functionality in an already existing application (in this case a launcher, which in and of itself is brilliant [hat-tip to theknut again])

In the end, its his (theknut's) baby, and he'll either entertain my request or not. No worries either way re: that.

I don't want a pissing match here...so in that spirit...

Good day.

Does the icon re sizing option working in the latest google now?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
With all due respect you are at the wrong place man. A launcher won't do brightness stuff.

As for your problem. The best solution I see is install gravity box module status bar tweaks -> enable brightness control
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
No he's not. The launcher can use gestures to do all kinds of things. I think we'll see some new gesture options in the future.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
maybe a little off from what you requested, but have you tried Lux?

it does the job extremely well once you setup the desired values...

since i bought it, i've completely forgotten about adjusting brightness.. it's always the way i want it in various lighting situations
[Xposed Framework Modules] unsivil_audio:
Lux is a known battery killer. He's already using GB, he might as well use the custom auto-brigthness built into that module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
Lux is a battery killer?

that's news to me..

for the 9 odd months i've been using it, lux has never figured in the list of high battery drainers (in battery stats, or BBS)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Aashuk Mehta:
Honestly gesture shortcuts are already available. He can download any app from playstore to assign the shortcuts to gestures
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Doesn't really satisfy his request though so I'm not sure what your point is, other than to shoot down what is arguably a very useful feature request. I think it would be awesome to have Tasker tasks as an option for gestures. Would satisfy the request about brightness and so much more. Would make it easier to offload some feature requests to Tasker as well so it's a win for the dev if the Tasker api is easy to integrate.

Would it be possible to lock/unlock desktop with a gesture?

[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Ok, but it still involves adding a feature by the dev. Launching the app Tasker just does that, launches the app. The Tasker api will need to be used to launch a task itself, then brightness controls or anything else can be accessed with gestures.

Yes.

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION],

I absolutely love this mod. Are there any plans to have the "hide clock" and "home button" features work with SlimKat rom for the Nexus 5? Currently they work great with stock rooted rom, but with Slimkat the home button accesses the drawer from the home screen, but the button doesn't change and the clock does not hide. All of the other features work perfectly. Thank your for your consideration.

Found a bug not a major one but its there.

When any application is open and you rotate it to landscape then back to portrait then the navigation buttons turn into the look of the home screen

A bug report and a feature request:

If you set your screen #2 as home, then moving shortcuts/widgets on screen #1 is impossible: as soon as you 'long press' them the screen immediately switches to screen #2.

Is vertical continuous scrolling in app drawer possible to implement? Should be quite more comfortable than the current 'cards' setup.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Do you have Google now disabled by chance?

App drawer continuous scrolling has been requested.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xiayi:
Yes, it's not available in my country anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
That's the issue. The main purpose of xgels is to bring advanced features to the Google now launcher.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xiayi:
And that's exactly the launcher I'm using this module with (on my stock Nexus 5).

A bug is still a bug. It shouldn't matter if the user has Google Now functionality disabled/not available to them.

Hi there!

Great work! Paid you a beer!

Now, about that schnitzel with fries.. a few requests;

-- Notification badges look off when the apps are in folders;

-- Option to choose the badge position;

-- Option to deactivate badges for folders.

-- Option to handle folders and regular icons badges differently would be great

-- Obviously, the best would be if each icon could display its own badge right from the folder preview, but I guess this is not possible..?

-- Any alternate folders style would be much appreciated. I miss that style;

All the best!

Unfortunately the latest Xposed update breaks this module for me. Boots up fine, but as soon as you unlock the device it turns off. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
- tried it, it's very hard to accomplish, if it would have been easy, I would have implemented it, don't you think?

- yes, and I also wanted to give the option to disable in the app drawer

- how would you handle them differently?

- no, that looks awful. It actually took me one day to figure out how to not show the badge in the preview

- not now

No. I've been running my own, beta and the final build without any issues. Maybe try and reenable the module.

[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] you are correct! Reenabled and all is well
[Xposed Framework Modules] wewewi999:
Ok. Just be aware that I :

1) Just paid you a beer,

2) Simply tried to contribute to your project by bringing a couple ideas

3) Have been quite polite doing it

4) Have no way of knowing features you might have tried and failed to implement

..so don't start talking to me like that without any reason, ok, please? Thank you.

I assume that means it didnt worked either. Too bad.

I was meaning a different set of "rules" for each. If you cant do it for either of them, let's just forget about it

That I cannot understand, tough. Why don't you give us the option to put it or not? ..Say; as for most other things?! Especially if you had it in the first place. It might just not look THAT bad if the other apps in the folder arent badge-enabled..? It can't look far more off then what it looks like right now?! I think the point is it might, for me.. All in all, I'd like to at least see what it looks like.

That's too bad; because plain, square-ish folders would be a very decent way around badges that we can't move.

Anyway.

Thank you for you time and consideration.

[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
I think the issue that led to the response that you didn't like is that you didn't just thank him and then request a couple new things but your original post implied that you would donate more if he implemented the features you wanted:

"Great work! Paid you a beer!

Now, about that schnitzel with fries.. a few requests;"

This isn't too far off from the Play Store reviews that try to negotiate higher ratings if the dev adds more stuff for them. You basically said that you're completely willing to give more money but you're holding off for now until you get what you want. Maybe you didn't intend it to sound that way but your wording kind of suggested that the dev is your b**ch and is here to add your features in order to get a few more dollars from you.

Again, maybe that wasn't your intention but if you've followed along this thread for even just the past few pages, you'll see that there's been a lot of irritation about play store reviews and people using their rating to get the dev to do more work for them and that your wording probably would have a similar sound to it.

After updating Xposed yesterday on my Nexus 7 my homescreen columns are stuck at 5. Rows and margins change fine, app drawer changes fine, but I can't for the life of me get the columns to stick and it's driving my OCD crazy. I've rebooted, disabled and reenabled the module, and my Nexus 5 doesn't have the issue at all so I'm stumped. Any help?
