Unfortunately not. But people can mark it as spam or unhelpful and that could get it kicked perhaps if enough people make it or thumbs down it. The best way to retaliate against assholes like this is to put a positive comment and everyone do it so it outweighs the negative ones that these losers but up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
The only functionality which is *lost* is hiding the dock and gestures. Plus you have to enable changes to the dock first. And by lost I mean you have to set them again. I sometimes have to do this because I change things and I need you to do the setting again.

About the lag: the only thing which changed between those two versions is the background. I didn't touch the UI at all.

Anyone else experiencing lag?
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
No lag here
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
No lag here at all. Never has been regardless of version for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jsilver73:
Just read this and I am heading over to play now and leave 5 star rave review and mark this user as unhelpful (if I can find him lol)

Your module is AWESOME :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
Awesome mod theKnut. Sorry to hear about the abusive star ratings. I wanted to make a donation. Is there a way for me to make the initial level donation (£2.99 in the uk) without contributing towards alcohol? My religion doesn't allow this ;) ... Please let me know. It might be just easier for you to reply here to confirm that my particular donation will be for a coffee or something like that instead and I'll go right ahead and hit that donation for you. Thanks for your work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
If I've drunk the amount of beers I already got I would already be dead ;)

To be honest I drunk a beer and ate bratwursts at yesterdays bbq but I didn't buy it myself. It's been some time I drunk a beer at all. I'm Christian so I'm not a drunkard as well. I spend most of the money I've earned for my wifes birthday. The only thing I bought for myself so far is a wireless charger.

Which religion is that? Imho it's okay to drink alcohol as long as you are still able to control yourself. But I don't want to start a discussion ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
LOL. Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm Muslim and not only have I never drank any alcohol ever, I'm also not allowed to contribute 'directly' towards purchase of any alcohol. As you have kindly explained that it goes towards your general expenditure, wife and gadgets then I'm gonna make the donation now! Cheers! No pun intended. :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Lol, thanks. Bratwurst and Schnitzel would be rather inappropriate as well. My goodness... the barriers...
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
Not to worry. It is primarily alcohol as the text is very defined for alcohol and all the different use cases for alcohol (including paying or facilitating directly the consumption of alcohol).

The prohibition for pork is limited to only MY OWN consumption and touch.

I'm glad we can have a grown up conversation. Thank you. Donation made.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BouncingObject:
Yes, I have the lag issue as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] schrickz:
v. 1.5.1 works flawlessly on trebuchet ..

Wow

You are great :)

I'll check the margins
[Xposed Framework Modules] djnoicatse:
For the most part the launcher runs somewhat smooth. But I do experience the odd stutter/lag here and there. Have the launcher running on both my note 3 and nexus 5. Awesome work regardless!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Another great update! Thank you Alexander! A couple of things:

1) I do not see any lag on any of my devices except the S1 which I would expect anyway since that device is ancient and laggy all over (now that I have my N5 for about 5 months its a wonder how I survived on the S1 :p )

2) Maybe its me but the Auto Hide the App Bar no longer works? Maybe I am not remembering correctly but at some point in the past after launching an App the App Bar went back to hiding? Now it stays in place until another swipe. If that is true can we please add an option to auto auto hide the app bar?

Cheers
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
He added an option to auto hide the dock. You just need to enable it as it defaults to disabled I believe.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Yes tried turning on and off, kill gel, reboot, etc.stays visible until another swipe. Tried this on all my devices to make sure it was not device/ROM issue but all act the same way.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Are you sure you turned on auto hide? I just tested it and it's working as intended.

Whats wrong with all the weird bugs today?

- laggy UI

- launcher restart not working if Swipeback is installed

- auto hide dock not working
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Yes on all my devices, turned on, turned off, kill GEL; reboot same effect; btw this was the same on the beta sorry I did not say anything at the time but just really noticed today on my off day have more time on my hands (some may say too much time)
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Pushed V1.5.2 to the donators group. Will push to public if everything is good.

Changelog:

go to sleep and recent app gesture actions now work on "unsupported" ROMs

fallback if launcher can't be restarted - needs root (e.g. if Swipeback is installed)

Sorry for all the hustle. This swipeback thing came totally out of the blue. Never heard of any problems before. I didn't touch the UI except changing the background. I'll now kill the launcher using root if the usual, Android standard, way is not working.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrcreativity:
Would it be possible to add a feature to sort folders' contents alphabetically?

Thanks for keeping the best features free.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Yes, I know I'm stupid,,,
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
I like swipeback but have removed it. There are various modules around that do not play well with many apps and other modules. Swipeback is an example, numerous problems reported. Hopefully it can be cleaned up so I can start using it again (BTW, it makes it very easy -- even too easy -- to restart the launcher!).
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
When I tested with Swipeback I encountered incredibly problems. Eg. I did a hot reboot from Xposed Installer. The progress dialog did not disappear while hot rebooting. I couldn't believe what I saw. Later on I did another hot reboot from Xposed Installer and the whole app overlay did not disappear over hot reboot. I did another one and yet it didn't disappear. I had to hard reboot my phone with hardware keys. Man, all the swearing...

Also got bad ratings on Google Play because the launcher reboot is no longer working. My goodness, I should stop reading the ratings. It makes me want to slap people in the face...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Yeah, stop reading all that rubbish. You made a bare-bones junk launcher very usable and attractive. Google should buy and incorporate this code!

I advise against using Swipeback for now. Simply too problematic!

(On Omni, I can do this in their switcher interface.)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
was the launcher reboot broken for more reasons than just swipeback compatibility? i've never had a problem killing the launcher (unless you kill it, then try killing it again without going home in between...but that should be obvious).
[Xposed Framework Modules] TenderloinShadow:
Hey. Just installed the new update, and I found a really strange bug. I'm detailing it quite thoroughly below. If you could look into this it would be great.

My favorite news app is Pulse News. The Pulse News (Large) widget is my favorite widget for the app. However, with XGELS running, I do not see this widget as an option to put down.

1)	This bug did not exist prior to the most recent update. I have consistently been able to use this widget with XGELS before.

2)	The Pulse News app has 3 widgets, Large, Small, and Page. Both Large and Small are missing, but Page is still there.

3)	Under the new Hidden Widgets feature, the Small & Large widgets are listed, but they are NOT checked to be hidden. Just to be safe, I toggled them to see if that would fix it. It didn’t.

4)	It’s NOT the app. If I use Nova Launcher, the Large widget is still available. If I use the GNL without XGELS enabled, it’s still available.

If you could look into this that would be great. I love your module so very much, but I also love my news. lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Update to V1.5.2

So I pushed V1.5.2 to Google Play (I already received it), updated Xposed Repo and synced Github.

Github sync had ~3000 additions and ~1000 deletions from V1.4 to V1.5.

Just to give you a rough dimension on whats going on ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I heard some other users saying it says "Nothing killed" and they had to do a full reboot. I never got enough information to have a look at it. Maybe it's related to Swipeback as well. I don't know.

Disable XGELS, add widget, enable XGELS, problem solved.

This is the only code touching the widget list. I don't know if you can read code but unless you have <packagename>#<shortclassname> in your XGELS settings nothing happens. So you can try to reset your settings (Settings -> Reset), (full)reboot and check again. Afterwards import your settings. You might want to backup your homescreen layout as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Not sure if you had time to look into the auto hide app bar not working the update did not fix (maybe not intended to fix?) for my N5 have not had time to check my other devices thnx!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I did try it on Cataclysm and Slimkat. Both running without any issues. If you set auto hiding it'll hide the dock as soon as you touch the workspace. What happens when you touch the workspace?

Which ROM are you using? Logcat? Haven't had anyone else reporting it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
My N5 is rooted stock. Maybe I am not remembering correctly but I thought the auto hide worked automatically after selecting the program. Yes when I return to the home screen and touch or swipe the dock hides. I was expecting the dock to hide on it's own. Cheers
[Xposed Framework Modules] wyghor@gmail.com:
Hi [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION], sending a new patch "strings.xml / pt-BR" fix bug of agreement! :good:

*Note: You can leave a background in solid color for XGELS application? example: black? vlw:D

Hi [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION], sorry for the inconvenience! follows the new lang "pt-BR1.5.2"!

* Note: If the translation "pt-BR" is not correct, contribute positively :)!:good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Someone else did ask this a page or so back and it was answered. Basically, xgels used to hide the dock automatically (whether you wanted it to or not) if you had dock hiding enabled. Now, there is an option to choose whether or not it hides automatically and it defaults to "off." So go into the settings and find the toggle for auto hiding the dock and enable it (I believe it's right under the option to hide the dock), then restart the launcher and it should work. If it doesn't, then try a full phone reboot before reposting.
[Xposed Framework Modules] charesa39:
Did you ever find an answer to this question? Do the margins settings work to stretch out the pages on the GEL for you?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Anthonok:
I noticed that the clock hide has stopped working randomly and I can't get it to work again. Running official Omni on my N5. Not sure if it was after a nightly update(always possible they borked something somehow) or if it was after an update to this app. Do notice however that if I switch to Nova launcher it is still capable of hiding the clock.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
hey [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] I've got two bugs to report, you can see the steps to reproduce in the video below.

1. Swiping left twice fairly fast from the homescreen immediately to the right of Gnow with continuous scrolling on causes two bugs: autoscrolling all the way to the left most homescreen and once there, the google search bar is still present overlaid across any icons/widgets in its way.

2. text and voice searching from the google search bar on the Gnow screen, then backing out causes the search bar to disappear until you go to another screen and come back.

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=cB1jpqv0_pM[/YOUTUBE]

I haven't updated to 1.5.2 yet, but these bugs have been present since 1.4 so I doubt they were fixed, based off the changelog.
[Xposed Framework Modules] subhani:
I found swipeback cripple my handset. I had to restore an older nandroid to resolve it. So yeah, no swipeback, even though it WAS kinda cool. Realised it was unnecessary since I have a permanent back button and I use swipe from edge for other functions like switcher and menu in many apps.

Also, I can't seem to get my default home screen to stick.

Lastly, I can't change the number of rows for home screen grid. The columns change just fine but not rows.

I'm on MahdiROM. LG G2 d802 international version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Fixed.

Fixed.

Fixed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
Knut to the rescue :) thanks man! Appreciate all the work you do on this module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] stuart0001:
Pressing home whilst on any page on the home screen brings up the Google now screen instead of page 1. Is there any way to change this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] AA1973:
Settings > Home screen > Default home screen.

1 should be Google Now

2 is the first home screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zombie673:
Update issue...

Was the dock icon count meant to be disabled in this update release, or has anyone else had this issue where it is greyed out now?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
If it's greyed out then the "enable changes to the dock" option is probably turned off a few lines up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zombie673:
Spot on... So weird. The update didn't change any other setting in the whole mod but that one switch. Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] peterbonge:
Since my request for the XGELS Donators Group wasn't processed yet (how long does it normally take?) I have to post here.

I have noticed a very strange behavior: If I'm in the edit state of the launcher (long tap on home screen) it sometimes happens that I can't exit this state with the back key. If this happens the downsized screens are operating like they were normal-sized. I can open apps and folders, gestures are working and I even can swipe to the "Now" screen.

To get back I have to tap on Widgets and then two times on the back key.

That is really crazy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Thats fixed on my local build. Set double tap gesture to "None" as a workaround.

I have "processed" your request. (I'm adding everyone by hand)
[Xposed Framework Modules] peterbonge:
I'm waiting for the fixed build. It is not so annoying that I would live without the double tap feature.

Thanks for that.

And now a request: Please add shortcuts for the gestures and double tap feature. I know that you don't see much sense it this, but it would really be great to e.g. execute Tasker tasks with a gesture.

And an option for the recent apps list could also be handy.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Well I suppose if you follow your own advice and read back a few pages you would have seen that it was me that posted the original bug :p. I have tested this just about any way you can think of including kill GEL; reboot: clean install of Xposed GEL on my Stock N5 and turned off other modules. Yes the developer responded that if you tap the screen the dock will hide again - meaning a gesture not automatic. I asked again since there was an update. I believe this is a bug because:

1) The function does not act the way it did prior to the update (regardless of the changes to the menu which I saw and activated)

2) Since it takes another gesture to hide the bar then in fact it is not "automatic" as it was before.

If this is the way the developer needs it to be then so be it I can certainly live with using a gesture.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
No, I don't need to read back to see who originally reported this "bug." You need to provide all relevant info when you ask a question (also, there was more than one response to this question that you may have missed).

Did you see my response to this question (by you or whoever) a few pages back? There is now a separate option (in addition to hiding the dock) that makes hiding the dock automatic. This was just introduced in one of the recent updates. It defaults to disabled (meaning the dock will hide but not automatically - you must swipe to show it and again to hide it) so initially you will see a change in behavior until you go in and enable this new option.

It's not a bug because it works for everyone else that we know of so there's something on your phone that we need to figure out. Let us know if you have any luck or not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
I think his bug report was that he expected the dock to hide when an app from the dock was launched. I didn't get that in the first place. After some questions he said it does hide when touching the workspace but not when launching an app from the dock.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Take it easy dude, was just joking hence the tongue. I am a contributor, twice. I follow this every day. I have tried everything, including turning on the option. This is a stock N5 with nothing else running except this mod. It just does not work "automatically". If it works for everyone else then I guess my device is crazy. sorry to be a bother.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
[MENTION=385439]djjstew[/MENTION] man your location makes me nervous everytime I see your posts. I mean there are devs in here who would deserve to work at Google more than me (eg. rovo89) but can a man dream these days?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
No worries. I wasn't getting upset and you're not being a bother. I was just trying to let you know that we aren't going to remember who posted what and since your post didn't mention anyone's answers to you, I treated it like a new question. Your comment about me needing to follow my own advice came across as snarky to me (which it sounds like I misinterpreted) which is why I explained this.

I mainly wanted to make sure you had seen the new option that the dev added which you now confirmed you had. Unfortunately it sounds like you've tried everything I can think of so hopefully someone else had an idea.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
Google always seems to be hiring so send in your job application! I don't work for them but live close enough that on a good day I can pick up their free wifi.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Gotcha, glad you figured out what he was talking about. His post wasn't very specific and the auto hide works correctly in general.
[Xposed Framework Modules] djjstew:
This was my first post not sure what is "not specific" about it?

2) Maybe its me but the Auto Hide the App Bar no longer works? Maybe I am not remembering correctly but at some point in the past after launching an App the App Bar went back to hiding? Now it stays in place until another swipe. If that is true can we please add an option to auto auto hide the app bar?
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Hahaha lol their Wifi must be insane.

I wonder if Google knows about my module. At least they have ~15k more people using GEL... Without it there is really no reason to use this launcher...
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
That was clear and the dev and myself responded to you. But instead of quoting our responses, answering our questions and asking further questions, you just posted the same question again about a page or two later but with less info and I thought you were someone else who had a similar question. So then we started all over again. So I apologize that we have gone back and forth like this but you could have avoided this by providing the relevant info the second time you asked the question.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

That's a good point. Xposed in general drives more people to use stock android (well, technically stock I guess). And your module in particular keeps tons of users in gnl instead of all the third party launchers out there. I think Google owes you a thanks at least, haha.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
If Google were to integrate XGELs & some of the other fantastic modules we have, i think we would immediately jumpy to Android 6.4 or something :P

That being said, am pretty certain a lot of people from google would be keeping their eyes on the developments here on xda
[Xposed Framework Modules] pinolero510:
Thanks for the module.

I'm having an issue. I've seen that ppl had problems with the dock not auto hiding, well my problem is that after a while swiping up doesn't make the dock appear. Restart launcher gets it back to normal. This has happened since initial 1.5 update.

[Xposed Framework Modules] asdf1nit:
This is a great module and it keeps me from using a third party launcher. Great features! I'd like to make a request. Do you think you could add tasker support for gestures? That would be awesome!
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
What kind of things do you have in mind for xgels integrated with Tasker? I only ask because I'm a big user of Tasker and am always looking for new things to do with it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beaster:
I tried changing the margin settings but nothing happened.. Margins stay the same. Is it working for you?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
They work for me. The higher I set home screen margins...The more things are brought in from the sides. 2 is minor whereas 5-9 would be pretty significant.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beaster:
Ok.

Did some more testing.. It appears that the margin settings work when the device is on portrait mode.

Switching to landscape the margin settings are ignores.. My device is a Nexus 10 so it is mainly on landscape mode. Dont know if its a bug or a limitation of Gel since it is meant to be used on mobile devices (portrait)

Thx for replying!
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
It's made for mobile devices. It works fine on my note 3 in portrait and landscape. Are you running and dip tweaks? Turn off any gravity box and xposed tweaks and mods and try. This has always since day 1 worked.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Beaster:
This is the only xposed module i use.

And all other settings are working great.. Only the margins are not applied when on landscape mode.

Its no big deal though.. This tweek did help me get the 8*6 homescreen grid that google wouldnt let me.

So i am pretty happy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
[MENTION=4248552]Ken4G[/MENTION] is the man!! We just figured out what the lag issue with the app was.

My goodness... the relief! Everyone smash the thanks button on Ken4G's post below!

Just got to fix two other bugs and we are good for yet another bugfix release. All the bugs...

[Xposed Framework Modules] Ken4G:
HTC One users rejoice! Glad I could help! :laugh::highfive:
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Just curious, what was it that was primarily affecting one device?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ken4G:
It had something to do with the size of the background image used in the app. :confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] BouncingObject:
Good deal! Love that you're on top of all the little hicups! Thanks [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4248552]Ken4G[/MENTION]!
[Xposed Framework Modules] asdf1nit:
Like a task shortcut, that's about the only thing I can think of at the time. For instance double tap instead of launching an app will trigger a task you set, I can't see the use of a plugin for an event but if I have long enough I could come up with something. Two finger swipe could launch a different task.... So basically an entry in the action menu of a gesture that will let me choose a task to launch.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Gotcha. Yeah that would be cool.
