[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] what's up, now my phone updated automatically to 5.3 please fix this, Would be much appreciated!
[Xposed Framework Modules] kdb424:
Please read a few posts before asking for an update. They are working on it. It's been completely changed on google's end so it's going to take a lot of time to rebuild it. It's not a simple update like usual. Sorry, not trying to take it out on you, but next time you want an update, simply inform the dev, if not posted, that an update has come out. If you want it to work for the time being, please downgrade and turn off auto updates like the rest of us do. It's not that hard to manually update. Thank you for your time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bubblesnout:
Google App updated to 5.3 today, so I've lost my XGELS functionality. Trying to downgrade my Google App to 5.2, downloaded the apk from apkmirror but it fails to install (no error) and if I go in to phone settings > Apps > Google App, I hit Force Stop but still don't have the option to Uninstall Updates. Is there a specific way I need to go about downgrading this?

If important my device is a LG G4.

Never mind! Figured out how to do it with adb: adb install -r -d package.apk

Restored 5.2.x from 5.3.x (Root Uninstaller Pro) what now ended in a non booting Android 5.1.1 :( Unbelieveable just cause of Google App. Nothing else changed... Hope to get my Nexus 6 back in any way....?
[Xposed Framework Modules] kdb424:
I don't think that could cause a failure of booting as it's not part of the operationg system. You can always try clearing the cache and rebooting. That normally fixes downgrade issues.
[Xposed Framework Modules] brentfincham:
What is the version of Google search I should download & roll back to in order to get XGELS working again? Just stopped working last night.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
5.2.19.xx I believe. Any 5.3 variant breaks it. I tur Ed off auto-update in Play Store to stop it from updating itself until when/if a fix is released.
[Xposed Framework Modules] gcladores:
Updates??

When can we expect the new update of xgels for the google app 5.3.23.19arm?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
[MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] already knows all the issues but it's also customary not to ask for updates on an threads...
[Xposed Framework Modules] gcladores:
Oh. I'm sorry. I didnt know that. Wont happen again

All good. Just letting you know before several others do lol.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Asitaka:
How do I downgrade? The uninstall updates is grayed out and I can't install an older version over it
[Xposed Framework Modules] CLEmently:
XGEL Settings are back - Google App too

[MENTION=3397082]kdb424[/MENTION]:

Thank you very much for your quick response and your supplementary advice to do so :)

Even before I read these lines, after several unsuccessful boot attempts, i decided, based on my TWRP recovery, to wipe the cache.

After that, the next boot process took a very long time once again, but it ended successfully :)

My previous unsuccessful downgrade of Google App to 5.2.x (Root Uninstaller Pro) didn't work correctly and was the trigger of my problem...

After my successful boot process, i recognized that the Google App 5.3.23.19.arm was completely uninstalled instead of downgraded. So then the good thing has been, that I was able to download the Google App Version 5.2.33.19.arm (Android 4.4+ connected) from apkmirror.com.

The complete restructure of the launcher took then another long time and all the widgets had to be reapplied. But, the XGEL Settings are now back again and I will no longer update the Google App until XGEL Settings has been adjusted. Also, I have learned, to make a backup via TWRP recovery and OTG in future ;)

Lucky me - i had at least a backup from all Settings in XGEL Settings :)

---------- Post added at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

I think you can do that by Root Uninstaller Pro or XInstaller, which are able to do an Uninstall of Goole App.

My little hint: Do not reboot, until you've installed/downgraded to the matching Version!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ansh1996:
I used xinstaller for this purpose, you can download it from xposed repo. In there, there must be and option under installation to downgrade apps. Just tick that one and then you can simply install 5.1/5.2 over the 5.3 version as if it was upgrading. No data or settings will get lost using this setting.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kdb424:
Glad you got it working. I actually just installed that module that was suggested here and I also agree. You must have had the latest version integrated into your rom which is why you couldn't uninstall updates. Some roms (though not many) will auto integrate updates into /system for you, and it's also an option you may have turned on (It's not by default though last I checked) in titanium backup to integrate updates into ROM. In any case, thank you for posting these here and I'll be sure to let others know about these options if they have issues.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zer0_rulz:

There's a ton on the play store. Many free, better ones paid.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zer0_rulz:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
We do not ask for ETAs on these threads. Kind of rude--remember, our heroic devs are doing this as a hobby.

Anyway, already addressed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Search xda too. There's tons of them.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dysphorique:
I've done this but it reverts back to 5.3 upon rebooting :confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] IrocD:
You need to go into the app in Play Store, and hit the 3dot overflow button, then uncheck auto update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dysphorique:
I've done that too, still reverts to new version
[Xposed Framework Modules] stangri:
Thanks, rolled back to 5.2.19-something and GEL works with exception that I need to reboot for changes to take (like it's been reported before already).

I sure hope [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] can figure out a way to turn new vertical scrolling app drawer back to paginated one eventually.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rice103:
Whic version of google launcher and google now needs to work correctly? Someone have the apk links?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
I'm running latest xgels and Google app 5.2..x.x and don't have the vertical app drawer. That's something Google added not xgels.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ansh1996:
I think the vertical scrolling app drawer has been added by google in V5.3.x. 5.2.x is working just fine.

I guess [MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION] meant to say that the dev will find a way to get horizontal app drawer back in 5.3 like it is in 5.2 and older versions. That is, ofcourse, after the dev gets xgels working on 5.3
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Correct. It must have been what he meant. +1
[Xposed Framework Modules] theknut:
Just letting you know I'm making progress in getting XGELS up and running again. App drawer features are still completely broken but right now it's all about making it work again. I might release a version without app drawer features tomorrow, supporting the latest Google Search.
[Xposed Framework Modules] midgarsormr:
Thanks for the great work as always Alex!
[Xposed Framework Modules] kdb424:
Thanks a lot for getting it back to working quickly. You are one heck of a dev. I'm sure that a lot of us would love to have our homescreens back even if the app drawer support is not included. personally, I only used icon hiding from the app drawer, so that'd be in a pretty much working state for a lot of us. Looking forward to the exparimental build tomorow, and thank you a ton for your work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jiggs82:
Awesome news and I honestly don't care for app drawer features right now as long as your mod works and i can customize the home screen for ex: grid sizes and icons ;) looking forward to the update good luck!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ntquartex:
I can't remove google search bar on homescreen,apps screen bg color does not change...Any ideas?
[Xposed Framework Modules] unhappybirthday:
Reading back a few pages (always good practice on XDA) would tell you that Google app 5.1 is fully functional, 5.2 is nearly fully functional, and 5.3 should be partially functional soon (when theknut releases the next version of XGELS). Many users rolled back their Google app to 5.2 in the meantime.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Frappoccino:
I'm happy with the new vertical scrolling app drawer, but I want to remove the first row as it seems to be a quick app row or recent appa, idk.

[Xposed Framework Modules] kdb424:
I use a rom with Layers support and theme it with that. Works great even with the updated launcher. Just a thought.
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
Just got the donate version and didn't realize every singke feature is broken. Oops guess I should've checked first. According to the playstore description it should partially work after the update but not one single setting works for me with latest Google app and Now Launcher. I'm new to this module so don't crucify me for asking (I mean I did just pay money for something that doesn't work whatsoever) but is there a chance there will be working features soon? The no eta rule doesn't apply for something you purchased without knowing it was broken. Haha, thanks in advance
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Just read below your post on this page or the previous. The dev just addressed everyone about the fix and update. When Google makes major changes to the Google search app/engine this causes errors with xgels but has only happened like twice in the last couple years and update are frequent and to date it's always been fixed. I think the Play Store now offers 24hour refunds as well if you don't want to wait but it's an awesome mod and definitely worth a few bucks. Just read back literally about 15 or so posts ago and it's all being talked about. Eta rules always apply I think. I always read up before buying so I know what I'm getting. I'd say hang in there. It sounds like an update is like a day or so away very possibly and this is a great mod/app. Cheers

Fas
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
Well, you are correct on the eta point. I was just messing. Also, I had no idea this module even had an xda thread until after I got it. I know it's worth the wait and would never imagine asking for a refund. I am however excited to see how the update pans out. I've been wanting to purchase this and I work hard for my money so the wife finally said go ahead and blow some money on it! Haha, yeah she makes the rules. Anyways, was just basically saying hello and am excited to see how this all turns out as I've been a Nova user for forever but realized that Now launcher has potential to be much better given x gels module is available. Thanks for the reply to my rather ignorant comment and I'll keep watching to see the progression. Thanks again
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Ha-ha not ignorant at all. My wife runs the books too which is GOOD, we'd be in trouble if she didn't lol! But yeah, give it a couple days because [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] knows all the issues and is working on it actively, you'll like it I'm sure. I've used it since day one and it's one of the first things I install on any supporting rom. The thread has been here awhile actually. Couple years I'd guess but OP will tell ya on the date. Alexander is awesome about updates some just take a bit longer depending on what Google has changed and Google has been really active on major updates lately but it'll pan out quick is my guess. Once he knows about major stuff he's awesome about jumping in to see what he can do. +1

Fas
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
Sounds great. Can't believe I'm just now giving this a shot. I've been using xposed for a long time and a custom launcher but for some reason (probably because I bought it long ago) I've always used Nove Prime. I like the style of Now Launcher and although it seems it hasn't been receuved all to well, I'm lovin the new app drawer. It's simple yet unique enough to feel fresh and new.

Well, thanks again for all your information and also your patience with me. Sorry again for wasting any of your time and I look forward to experiencing this devs amazing work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
You're welcome, don't mention it. Great group here. I'm not a fan of vertical drawer personally but to each their own :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] schwem:
The nostalgia will wear off for me with the drawer I'm sure it's just that I never really liked the cards. Didn't care for flipping through pages to find an app but as you said, to each their own.

Well I'm glad to be a member of a community with such helpful and friendly members. It's a welcome change from the rom communities with the bickering and pouncing on anyone with an opinion. Again, thanks for chatting with me. I'll quit cluttering the thread now. Take care

I've pushed a new apk to BETA testers in the G+ group just now. Please let me know any NEW error. It should work on 5.2.33 and 5.3.23, even though I only tested the latter (will do tomorrow).

Anything app drawer related will NOT work yet. I have mainly focused on restoring all other features. So just keep in mind, everything which is remotely related to app drawer features will not work.

Please post errors in this thread and send a bug report using the XGELS settings menu.

[MENTION=4095276]t3chn0s1s[/MENTION] Trebuchet happens to be support in some areas but support has been unattended a long time. I will look into it again when they will switch to the new Android M launcher. They tend to make changes every now and then and maintaining it is more work and only few use it.

I JUST flashed a new rom, installed Xposed and Xgels immediately from Play store and still same issue so I'm guessing [MENTION=1749264]theknut[/MENTION] is still working on it. Settings not sticking yet and no features working for me and it's literally the only thing I've installed on a fresh clean flashed rom, so I'd hold off a bit still. Seems to be still broken. I'm sure he'll get it working. He's awesome!

[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
Thanx for the info :)

And yes, yes he is!!! This module was the main reason I didn't upgrade to Lollipop at first, until Xposed was running on it. I also know, I'll stay on Lollipop until Xposed is running on Marshmallow, mainly for this module!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Agreed. it may not on M though, that's a whole different beast so we'll see...seems I read that it'd be much harder on M but no idea either. LOVE this module regardless. Been using it since early Alpha. First thing I install on a rom pretty much.

[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Go to G+ exposed private group (search xgels in communities) and click become a tester (If you're a paid premium user of course) and it'll pretty much add you instantly. Then download Exposed in Play store and after maybe an hour (sometimes minutes) the new beta version(s) will automatically install if you have auto update on in Play Store. If not they'll still show up and you can manually install. +1

Then once approved you'll see the xgels private group under communities and just click on it to read, post, download (in some cases) but Andrew usually pushes updates through the ay Store but occasionally will drop one in the group for testing first too. +1
