No problems or bug reports. Just wondering out loud.

I've been a fan of XGELS since forever and usually try to use it and GNL on most ROMs.

My primary ROM since mid last year, PAC LP, has been kept fairly static with regards to updating gapps and apps. Not fixing what ain't broken I guess.

With other ROMs I go with the latest and greatest.

On this ROM I use

GNL 1.3.large

Google App 5.1.17.19.arm

XGELS 2.3.20

A nigh perfectly working combo.

Anyway, I long-pressed a folder with the intent of applying a folder icon and noticed a cog in the context menu. Never seen that before. Tapped on it and was presented with an app list. An easy way to add/remove apps in a folder instead of dragging from the app drawer. Like finding money in a jacket pocket. Pleasant surprise.

Been running this combo for months but never noticed that. In other ROMs running later or more recent versions of XGELS & Google App I don't see this feature.

Just wondering when the feature appeared and when it disappeared.

Spoiler content hidden.

Hi guys! I made a donation at the beginning of the app and I am very happy with it :) Unfortunately, it is outdated for COS13.1.

On COS13.1 (OnePlus One), the google app hangs and I need to install the latest version. But XGEL doesn't support it (I can only update to 5.13.31.21 arm from play store and I currently have 5.10.32.19 arm).

Can you please update your app in order to support the latest version from Google? If you have a beta available, I can help you test it out!

Thanks but until it is updated, i'm going to use another custom launcher, one that works without hanging 3 secondes...
[Xposed Framework Modules] unhappybirthday:
Couldn't you use apkmirror to try a version in between that works with your device and xgels?
[Xposed Framework Modules] matssa:
Already tried, I just tried out the version 5.12.34.21 arm (latest official version that is supported) and it does the same thing (nova doesn't hang though).

I don't really want to test out beta versions, does anyone use them? Any issues?

EDIT/// Tested with the latest Google app beta version that is supported and still have the hanging issue.

Double Tap on the wallpaper/home screen

Hi guys, just upgraded my nexus 6p to 6.0.1 MTC19V, installed xposed v85 and root.

But... when i try to activated the double tap function, i just realized that doesn't work anymore, i dont understand why, cause the version is the same, it's just another build.

Have u guys saw something like that??
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jiggs82:
Google app beta is now v6.0 I swear Google is making it harder to keep up with this mod and I'm gonna have to go back to Nova if they don't get there act together smh lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Cannot expect anyone to redo an app weekly or more often that that! So ... try the latest beta or settle on a supported version. So far, very little difference in all those updates.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aluxian:
Thanks for this module, it's great!

I have a small request. Can the shadows in the screen to the left (with Google Now cards -- the status bar) and in the drawer be removed? They're absolutely extremely hideous and they ruin the design of the launcher :( I attached 2 screenshots. Does anyone think the same?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mega Montana:
How would you see your white icons in the status bar or (not shown) white navigation bar icons on the white Google background then? Hope I'm understanding correctly.

Also, I think Google may actually be inverting the status bar icons now in their apps (just a guess) from the looks of the new Google Calendar app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aluxian:
That's a fair concern and yes, you understood correctly. Now that I think about it, I don't know what colour would work there... definitely not white.

I saw that too with Google Calendar, I hope they'll do the same for GNL. In this case, I think it'd be better to let Google fix this design issue (op already has a lot to do, I think).
[Xposed Framework Modules] marcdw:
Google constantly updating their apps isn't really a problem. Problem is users constantly updating their apps.

If one knows (should know) that newer versions probably won't work with XGELS why is one updating. Stick with what works.

As mentioned in the other post there's probably nothing added to Google App that matters.

So, user updates. Knows new version is not supported. Cries/whines/complains about incompatibility. Announces switch to another setup.

Nonsense.

??

And don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya.

General comment. Applies to other things too really. Don't hit me.

It is exactly these exchanges that cause the best devs to simply get off XDA.

Well, after I clean installed my Nexus 5X and choose stock gapps, I've now the issue that my standard gapps version is 14.31.21 and I need the 13.31.21 version to get XGEL working.

Unfortunately my downgrad tries with two PlayStore apps (AppDowngrader and App Downgrader (ROOT) failed, I would love to hear a reliable way to downgrade the google app.

edit: nvm, even tried the adb way, but it still switches back to the 14. version after restart :<
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
Uninstalling Google App in the normal/Android way should roll it back to the original version that was included with your device. At that point you can install an old version manually from apkmirror (or other like site)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Frappoccino:
When I'm uninstalling it via Play Store the version switches back to 14.31.21, which is still too new for XGEL.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
are you on stock nexus ROM?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Frappoccino:
I'm using PureNexus, an aosp-based rom with r25 and open_gapps stock from 0618.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
I'd ask in pure nexus thread (or wherever your gapps comes from if your google app comes from that) how to roll back as the developer seems to bake the newest google app into it
[Xposed Framework Modules] jaibar:
Google now launcher can be completely removed, then you can install any other version as suggested from apkmirror.

First, make sure you've got any other launcher- temporarily install anyone of zillions available, just in case.

Next, use any means to uninstall system apps and remove Google now launcher. Do not uninstall from play store, as it just reverts you to a version that's too new, apparently. I guess what was included in your gapps is too new, and of course installed as system app.

Restart- don't worry- you've got temporary launcher from first step.

Install appropriate GNL version, enjoy XGELS

Now you can uninstall temporary launcher.

Oh, if in doubt, make nandroid backup beforehand...
[Xposed Framework Modules] pirulazul:
Try this if you use TWRP 3.0 or later :

- boot into recovery

- go to mount and mount system

- go to advanced > file manager

- go to /system/priv-app/velvet

- click on the right bottom icon and delete the folder.

- reboot, Google search is gone, now download your favorite version from apkmirror and install it.

Remember to tell play store not to update it.

BTW, you need another launcher to do this, as Google now will stop working.
[Xposed Framework Modules] marcdw:
Also, if one is familiar with Delta gapps you can flash just the Google App/Now/Velvet add-on if you want to keep it as a system app.

The Xinstaller module is also quite useful. Check option to allow downgrades and then simply install desired Google App version from apkmirror. No muss, no fuss.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bigzy:
I'm a premium user but I deleted the app and now my premium account is gone , how to get it back?
[Xposed Framework Modules] marcdw:
Which app are you referring to, XGELS? If so and you originally got it from the Play Store you can just install it again. Paid status is/should be intact.

If paid via some other means, I don't know. Maybe contact the dev. Check the app for any information regarding that.

Have you down graded google app to 5.13? Have you rebooted after enabling the module?

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

Turn off auto update in play store.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neil_mullen:
Yes, I rebooted after the xposed warned me and I also reinstalled it. I tried the 5.13 google app and several other supported version...
[Xposed Framework Modules] TerryV:
Your Xposed installer says you're active?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neil_mullen:
Do you mean that the xposed/modules/xgels has a pipe in the corner after the rebooting? Yes. (i use gravitybox also and it is working well)
[Xposed Framework Modules] WarMiguel:
No funciona ya por favor actualicen la app
[Xposed Framework Modules] TerryV:
Silly question what launcher are you using?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neil_mullen:
I tried the default launcher (what came with the aosp 6.0.1) and some of the supported google launcher (what are mentioned in the changelog). Between the launcher installations I reinstalled the xgel also...
[Xposed Framework Modules] TerryV:
So to confirm. You are using the google now launcher? And you have 5.13 google app installed.

I had to clear the app data in xgels for my new settings to stick.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
Also, be sure you either have "kill launcher" turned on in xGels settings, or that you have restarted the device/launcher each time you change a setting.
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
Is it possible atm to disable the dock completely from home screen?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
What does everyone think about using a swipe-up gesture for opening AND closing the dock/hotseat (not using swipe-down to close it)? I bring this up b/c if I have the dock set to hide and I open the dock, then I down-swipe to open the notification bar or quick toggles, then the dock closes as well which I don't want it to do.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mitchst2:
That makes sense.

Sent from my HTC O'ne-xus
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Why are you hiding the dock then? The dock is designed to only be opened to access the app drawer button or camera or whatever. After the selection it will be closed/hidden because you've set it to be hidden in the settings. Otherwise hiding the dock makes no sense for me. But I'm open to suggestions from the community.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
I thought you'd ask that :D. I like to keep the dock hidden most of the time to declutter the homescreen and see more of the wallpaper. But at times I'll keep it open for a bit while I jump back and forth between a few different messaging apps and social network apps and during that time I want it to stay visible.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

I'd like to say that the option to hide the dock in this module is far superior to how third party launchers handle it. I've used both Nova and Apex and (unless I'm missing an option in those launchers' settings) if you hide the dock in those launchers, it resizes the homescreen which makes carefully placed widgets look goofy. Then when you unhide the dock the homescreen shrinks back down. The way this dock just appears on top of the homescreen is really cool.
[Xposed Framework Modules] killall:
If you keep your swipe low on the screen the dock hides without pulling down the notification bar. Works for me :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cadarn07:
Yes, that works for me too but that's not what I'm talking about. While you can hide the dock without pulling down the top bar as you pointed out, you can't pull down the top bar without closing the dock (if the dock is already open).
[Xposed Framework Modules] b1g1an:
I think it's great the way it is, all I was hoping for right from day one of this module was the facility to hide the dock as I find the extra screen space more useful. However, the way this has been implemented has made me rethink its usefulness and we now have the best of both worlds. Top work theknut, many thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] letmedanz:
For me, i don't use the dock at all.

nor the navigation keys.. everything is configured through LMT..

reasoning is similar to the previous user - more screen real estate :)

if you could enable a on-off switch for the dock, that could offer 2 options-

a) with dock enable - swipe up/down would be used to hide/unhide the dock

b) with dock disabled - swipe up could open the app drawer & swipe down for bringing the notification bar..

suggestion since you are open to them :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] rsage:
I agree that from a user perspective you'd want a gesture to perform only one action, otherwise it can become unintuitive and frustrating.

Regarding Nova, not sure if it was always this way, but you can show/hide the dock in two ways: the regular way which you mentioned, and the overlay way which works more like this mod works.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mattdm:
Thank you SO much for adding the down gestures. I still wish my S4 was a bit smaller in the hand, but that makes it easier to handle. One of the only features I missed from Nova too! You rock.
[Xposed Framework Modules] apples723:
First of all thank you for your time and effort in making this module as before I had this GEL sucked. Now its full of awesomness thanks to you. And my feature request is that instead of holding down the app drawer button and it launching XGEL setting have an option to be able to launch hidden apps. Or if that is not an option have another "secretive" way of showing the hidden apps. (ex. Pinching fingers together on homescreen,holding down \XGEL app icon for a while, holding menu button) If you need anyother ideas to launch hidden apps let me know. Or if its to difficult to bring up hidden apps make it so user can customize what launches when you hold down on the app drawer icon. Thanks again, best of wishes, apples.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
Knut,

Two (minor) bugs to report in the beta build 2:

1. If you don't do a large enough swipe left while on the right most home screen, it goes back one home screen, rather than going all the way left. E.g. screen 4 to screen 3 rather than 4 to 1.

2. Super minor grammar correction! :) when you make a change to settings the toast notification says "... this changes." It should be "these changes."

Also with so many options now the app is feeling a bit cluttered and chaotic, you may want to consider adding sub menus in a future build!

Thanks for all the hard work on this module, it really has brought the feel of my phone to the next level.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrbobo1:

So what do you use to pull up menu and settings etc if not using the navigation hard buttons? Seems like much more work getting to things is all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
The problem is if you swipe too fast or sometimes even too slow you cancel the snap to page animation which leaves you at the page where it has been canceled. The moment you touch the screen again while the animation is running cancels it. Continuous scroll without the app drawer is a bit lame I admit but I couldn't find a better way to do it for the moment.

Thanks a lot for the typo hint!!

So everyone is happy? I can make this a release? I still need to fix a little big, though ;)

I install premium xgel on my nexus 5 cm13 with xposed 85v, but notification on icon dont work! Notification set up on the attached instructions. Why?!
[Xposed Framework Modules] PROlific666:
OK there are a few possible things so I'm just gonna cover them all.

First you want to make sure you are using the Google Now Launcher and not CM's Trebuchet. I don't know if Xgels will work with trebuchet but I'm assuming not.

Then you want to make sure you are running the correct version of the Google app. I believe that would be 5.13 but you can find that info in the app description in the play store.

If you haven't uninstalled updates to the Google app then you are on the wrong version. You can get 5.13 from APKmirror.

Then if all these things are correct go into XGels app info and clear the Data and Cache. That's normally what fixes it for me.

Good luck ?

When I activated the xposed gel and rebooted the devices I found the wallpaper is not showing instead a black screen. So I thought there is "no wallpaper settings enabled" in xposed gel but no it was not. so I just Unticked the module navigating to the xposed installer (did not rebooted) then I suddenly I noticed the wallpaper appearing normally but when againg I ticked The module it again disappeared. So I tried rebooting again and again but the results are same.

So I'm not able to understand what is the Issue is it a glitch or some thing else.
