Widget problems

Is anyone else having widget problems? On the first build after the latest GNL update, my widgets took a reaaaallly long time to load, and on the latest they refused to load at all. I disabled and re-enabled XGELS and that fixed it for a little while (note widgets worked with XGELS disabled) ... But now my Google keep widget stopped working again. I also had a problem with apps in drawers on a hidden app dock not working that I sent a bug report in for.

I'm waiting new version :). Thank you for perfect module :). I'm using only notification badge function :)

Google launcher from the Play Store is fine.

For everything to work I stick with Google Now/App/Search 5.1.x.

Check apkmirror site.

hide homescreen shadow breaks settings for me
[Xposed Framework Modules] oliver7:
thx. that was why xgels completely failed here since build 1. grid is okay, up-gesture to open drawer doesnt work, as well as hide shadow of text/app titles on homescr, and folders are always 4x4 even with more space/pie ctrl. [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION]

Hey, I sent my request to join the premium group a few days ago and nothing has happened. Also, could I join the Beta group? I use my phone - a lot - and hope that I'll be able to provide some helpful feedback and reports.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shahzad Sk:
Anyone knows what happened after Google's update? Everything is gone, Gel ain't working. The horizontal app drawer is okay, but this takes away all the good GEL customizable features.
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
I'm sure that alot of people are getting frustrated that they paid for something and can't even get beta versions with some working features. Kinda ridiculous to pay all that money and not have anything working at all. I know I'm not thrilled about it and [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] wont even reply to emails or approve any new members for the beta or even the private community. I didn't buy my car at the dealership and when they handed me the keys they said "you know what" GM pushed an update so I'm gonna work on a compatible engine so you can't drive it or use a single feature until I say so and I'm gonna keep you completely in the dark the entire time"!

This is a rooting/development community not a multi national business. Because it's a rooting community most experienced users know that there's glitches and setbacks and some times all you can do is wait. [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] does this in his spare time and if it was me, I certainly wouldn't feel obliged to keep every one and their sister up to date on every detail. If you're that indignant why not learn to code and contribute?
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
If I did and knew there would be issues like this where PAID users were unable to use the module I would at least update the description in the store to tell the public it's broken. I also wouldn't charge that much for something without function. I understand that Google broke it but while it is inoperable a disclamer needs to be made or some type of hold on the app where new users expecting function cannot purchase something nonfunctioning.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
He's busy fixing it and has released two updates in the last couple days. Patience my friend.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

But when Google updates and it breaks xgels (which isn't often) that wouldn't do much but thwart sales on an otherwise very excellent app/mod. I know I wouldn't do that. It's always fixed and since this specifically depends on the Google Search engine that wouldn't be practical at all to post in the Play Store description. It's always been fixed and like I said, its really rare it happens anyway and when it does its usually fixed very quickly. That's just the risk we take when rooting and romming. Sometimes it happens. Just have to wait it out and its not like its a ton of money. Most people spend 5 times that on Starbucks or fast food every day. Meh.....

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Well said. Most people spend much more on Starbucks and fast food every day. This is a small price to pay to be down a week or so until a fix is released. This is the risk we take modding our devices. +1
[Xposed Framework Modules] return.of.octobot:
Or you know, you could just not update Google app until XGELs catches up. Feeling entitled? Allow me to remind you that the money you paid to unlock premium features was a donation in gratitude for Alexander's hard work and dedication, and NOT a contractual obligation to provide timely updates. Despite this, nine times out of ten, he does provide timely updates, typically before Google's update are fully rolled out. So sorry you're waiting longer than usual for once, but understand that Google's new look likely altered the code significantly, I'd imagine that Alex is having to essentially rebuild from the ground up to reimplement full functionality.

With that said, it would be nice if the premium group requests got caught up on as it's been nearly a week for me, but it is what it is. Would be even nicer if one of the users that did manage to get in could share the wealth.
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
Point taken although it is more expensive than most modules which is beside the fact. All myself and other new subscribers were asking was for the dev to at least aknowledge what is happening. Why include a section in the module to signup for a private community or for beta releases if the dev will not approve the requests? At least when Nova pushes beta updates you are immediately approved as a beta tester and can immediately begin downloading the beta releases. The logic and/or system behind this devs beta/private community is flawed and pointless. I am just voicing my opinion as that should be accepted and not ridiculed as myself and the other new users unknowingly paid money to use something that is inoperable. It's simple really and I do understand and if I was a long time user I would be much more tolerant to how this all works but since myself and the other new posters were highly unaware and excited to try this out, you can see how it can be frustrating to say the least. None of us have gotten so much as a be patient, it's in the works email back from the dev. All we have to go on is by replys from some rather unfriendly members of this thread (aside from yourself of course) you have been more than helpful. If you see it from our standpoint I'm sure it would be a much different experience on a longtime users end if this was the first experience you had with any module that failed to work after paying money you earned on something you thought you might enjoy. I've been rooting and romming for a few years now and this is the first and I do mean first time I have ever experienced this so bare with us first time users and expect some of us to be kind of weary of this module as not one of have have even so much as had a single email reply or a "I'm working on it" from the dev himself. Just gotten a couple rude remarks from a follower who obviously cares nothing of how others may feel having expected to get what they paid for. I will now take your word for it and just ride it out as I'm sure it will be worth the wait and thanks for the reassurance. That's all we wanted since myself and the others have probably never dealt with development quite like this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Many have dealt with things like this though, things break, things get fixed. But anyway to stay on topic overall, he is actively working on it, via the Xgels G+ community, should be very soon for a public release. You could restore your nandroid or eflash the rom you're running that doesn't have the latest Google app apk and install xgels and turn off auto-updates in Play store, that's what many have done including myself. Most roms originally didn't release with the updated Google stuff unless it JUST released (the rom) in the last week or so. but chances are the rom you're running has an older version which will works fine, just flash it andyou can even leave auto-update on and croll to the Google app and stop it while the others update (if you're restoring apps upon rom setup) and while they're updating turn off auto update...that will still allow them to update except Google if you stop it right away. Many workaround for sure. OR downgrade to an earlier release from apkmirror.com

" it would be nice if the premium group requests got caught up on as it's been nearly a week for me, but it is what it is. Would be even nicer if one of the users that did manage to get in could share the wealth"

But there's no way to tell who bought it or not either and goes against policy of XDA to share a paid app so that won't happen, it shouldn't anyway. it's unethical and especially if a RC or moderator did it, it'd get them stripped of their title instantly and breaks the ethics code of their title.

*TL;DR*

I've been on holidays (Majorca!) for a week, the update got pushed on my very first day. Right after coming home I started trying to fix the new version. [MENTION=6089420]schwem[/MENTION] I'm adding the new users by hand. This is not an automated process. Furthermore you've paid "so much money" for a current set of features which work perfectly fine with the current SUPPORTED version. The latest version is not support as of now. Just decide if you rather want an updated XGELS or me sifting through emails of people asking for a new version, complaining, G+ requests, ...

Anyways, I have added [MENTION=1146003]Paradoxxx[/MENTION] just now because he was being nice. I'll add everyone else tomorrow.

New public XGELS update tomorrow! :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dave O:
Keep up the good work! I totally agree with you and all the rest supporting you and your work!

Let's make a donation!

When the last google launcher-update came, I at once had the feeling, "Oha, this time it's going to be a little bit harder for [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] to adopt xposed GEL settings, time to make a donation."

But I was a bit irritated, that there wasn't any communication and some posts in google play were like "I get no answer" and so on. So I wasn't sure, if you continue your work at all. Now I see, you're busy and I have just made a donation, which is perhaps more motivation for you to keep up the race with the google developers again and again.

I have been using your app for a long time now and I am very satisfied with it, considering, that for you, as opposed to the majority of the other developers, it is a special challenge to keep every new google launcher in all its details "hackable".

It's in the nature of your project, that you always need time to react and so there are sometimes problems with the google launcher updates, just as some people might get a virus or trojan, although they have Antivirus, just because it takes time to react to malware, which is seldomly announced beforehand :), just as the google developers, who do not announce their launcher updates.

I'm sorry, you get pushed by some people who think, a few bucks are enough for a lifelong contract for firstclass support.

Let's make a donation!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Folks, stop complaining. Want a more "commercial" product, well there are plenty of them out there. Want Xgels, let's have some common courtesy and patience.

It is no fun chasing a moving target. No sooner will Xgels work with 5.3 and there will be 5.4. Maybe easier now with less obfuscation, but still ... Marshmallow is coming and this will certainly sticky up the works even more.

So let theKnut breathe and appreciate his genius!
[Xposed Framework Modules] wmcmilli:
Great points. Add to that the fact that he needs a working Xposed framework that works across all devices and people that know their way around Xposed. I don't envy him. The compatibility issues alone are ridiculous.

My hat's off to this developer. Been using his product since the early days. Since there are plenty of Google developers on XDA, I'm surprised they haven't picked up on this and baked many of these features into their launcher. [emoji52]

[Xposed Framework Modules] KryptonKal-El:
The new update 2.3.17 broke the Google Search Bar hide feature as after the update the persistent search bar reappeared on top of my screen. I toggled the hide option off and on and rebooted phone but the google search bar was still there. I also disabled and re-enabled the module and rebooted phone but still didn't make a difference. I had to downgrade back to 2.3.16 in order for that hide feature to work again.

Thanks for confirming that, weird that it didn't work for me. I'm running the latest version of Euphoria ROM and latest version of the Google app not sure why it didn't work after the update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sgtslaughter64:
I was having the same issue but went into Xposed, deactivated the module and reactivated it, rebooted and success!
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Sometimes when I reflash a rom and install xgels it doesn't immediately see that I've paid and some features don't work, so I go down to the premium tab in xgels settings and then it "remembers" that I've purchased.... and then allows/unlocks all premium features so that may have been the issue for you. if it happens try going to the premium support tab in exgels for a couple seconds and see if it remembers or unlocks the premium features for you again rather than disable and re-enable and soft reboot. Just a thought. Might save you some hassle and reboot. I've never had to disable and re-enable to get it to work it just sometimes sticks and has to remember you've paid for it. (There's setting in SD card it creates after you've purchased and it just takes a second to read it so it knows you're a premium purchaser is all).

[Xposed Framework Modules] return.of.octobot:
Just thought it might be worth noting, not ALL app drawer settings are borked, I can still change the grid size, and I believe icon size works as well. Also, I think there may be some confusion about the Android M vs Android L search bar. The 'Android M' style is the same as post-update Google app, the 'Android M' style reverts it back to pre-update style (minus the rainbow). So, if you already have the most recent version of Google App, and set the style to 'Android M', nothing is going to change.

Same thing for me. The search bar was gone in 2.13.6, after the update the search bar is back here, after few reboots/deactives nothing changed.. So 2.13.6 was better working for me.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Wolfensteinjd:
Most 3rd party launchers let you start simple directional gestures from an app icon. For example, clicking say the calendar icon on my homescreen will pull up the calendar app (obvious). But if I swipe up from the icon, I have a gesture assigned to use pop-up widget to bring up the calendar widget. If I swipe down, I've launched a shortcut straight to the add event dialogue within the calendar, and so on.

I find this feature mostly useful in the dock, as too many icons with gestures assigned makes swiping between screens difficult, and swiping to GNow is a key element this launcher.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for this functionality, although it would be sweet.

I was mostly just answering your question -- thanks for a great Xposed module!
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
You can try holo launcher HD

It has most common gestures on the free version.

For me, the only 2 swipes that really help are swipe up for app drawer & swipe down for notification bar.

Even wihtout swipe up things can be managed, but swipe down would be really useful..

dunno if i have short thumb or what, but every time i try pulling the notification bar down i feel i'll drop my phone
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Just wanted to answer your question about why it might be wanted: in stock GNL/GEL, you can swipe down from the top bar to see notifications or you can two-finger swipe down from the top bar to instantly go to quick settings. I love this feature and use it (when I have both hands free) as it eliminates one extra click to get to quick settings. If you add the ability to one-finger swipe down from anywhere on the home screen to access notifications, it only makes sense to me to add two-finger swipe down from anywhere to access quick settings. This just maintains consistency from a UX stand point but is ultimately up to you (obviously, haha).
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
But I already implemented this for the next build. Left - Notifications, Right - Quick Toggles, Up - Show Hotseat, Down - Hide Hotseat.

Or am I getting you wrong?!
[Xposed Framework Modules] GBP85:
While I don't know the global status of Google Wallet, it is free to send money to other people. Maybe you could setup an alt Gmail and allow donations there?
[Xposed Framework Modules] premiatul:
But swiping left or right is going to also change the screen you are on. ...no? (I have 8. ...lol).

I have a Note 2, so the most useful swipe would be down (one finger) for notification.

I really REALLY REALLY love your work! !!!

Thank you very much.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
You can see how it works on my current build in this clip:

[youtube]2x-p2D_8Kv0[/youtube]

I posted it yesterday I think. Swiping down doesn't change the page.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Ok, I see now. I originally misunderstood how it was being implemented. That works for me!

Seeing this makes me want to bring something up. I know you've said a few times that you're not trying to mimic other launchers, but in practice that's really what you are doing - giving us features in the stock launcher that previously were only offered in third part launchers. I bring this up because seeing this new gesture feature you are adding is going to bring a flood of requests to add the ability to choose what gestures do what (you've already received a few of these). I'm not asking you to do one thing or the other but I think you should look into if you can do this or if you even want to and if the answer to either of those questions is "no," then you should kill those requests now. As soon as users get their hands on gestures, that's the first thing many will request.

Again, I'm not saying you should do one thing or another but just trying to help stem a tide of custom gesture requests if you don't plan on (or can't) take that feature further. I, for one, want to see you continue developing this module as you please and not see your enthusiasm squashed under a flood of requests and under-appreciation.

Thanks again for all your hard work - this is truly one of the best things to come to Android in a long time.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

I think the way it will work is you will swipe down from the left/right to access the notification bar/quick settings. The way he did it is nice because you can access everything without ever needing two fingers.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jorgeabe99:
I particularly don't like gestures, but I find very useful to start Google search with a swipe down, thus I don't need search bar nor Google search icon on homescreen.
