[XPOSED][GS5.13.28] Xposed GEL Settings [3.0.1]

[theknut]

Alrighty! I don't understand why Google wants me to have this omnipresent search bar on every home screen if there obviously is Google Now / Google Search embedded into the launcher if you go to the left page. So after some searching I found a way to hide it. But it will show again if you go to the left screen; no functionality is lost. Of course digging through the code I found some more things which are customizable

How to request a feature

Since the feature requests are poping up like crazy and users are not making an effort to explain the features and say thank you after I implemented it, I decided to only accept feature requests if you follow the instructions below. But that doesn't imply that I will implement it. I want to see some effort because I will most certainly have it and remember it's all done in my free time. It's not that I do this for living

So if you post a feature request please include

1. say "Thanks" and be grateful for what you already got
2. think about your feature and whether it is useful for others, too
3. properly explain what you really want

I never used Nova and such so I don't understand the request if you just name the setting you want.

I think this is only fair since I spent hours making this module and users don't even take a minute to properly explain what they want and even worse are not grateful for what they already got. For free.

Thanks to all who donated already.

Requirements

• Xposed Framework
• Google Now Launcher
• new diaper

Instructions

1. download the module and install it
2. activate it in Xposed Installer → Modules
3. reboot your device
4. open Xposed GEL Settings
5. make all the changes you want
6. hit the restart button within the app to restart your launcher
7. Celebrate!

Known issues

• In some cases the Google Doodle will not be loaded
  How to resolve: pull down in GNow
  State: This seems to be a problem of the launcher. This error also occurs if the module isn't activated at all.
• If the grid size or hotseat count is changed icons/widgets may disappear (especially if you decrease sizes)
  Severity: Keep it in mind
• Resized icons or grid settings might lead to different sizes
  State: working on it for the next update
• Some settings will lead to icons being cut on the left and the right side even though enough space is available
  State: working on it for the next update
• If you've made changes to the launcher using apps like AppSettings (which is awesome by the way), you might encounter problems

Please report bugs if you find them! A good bug report includes repro steps and logcat and Xposed log file. You can paste them to www.pastebin.com. Screenshots and screen recordings are very important, too. If you provide all of this when reporting a bug it will make it a lot easier for me to help you.
If you report any bug mentioned above and/or ask questions which could have been answered if you've read the OP, please allow me to ignore your post as you did mine.

Your work is appreciated. Downloading now

 

[Kazur]

Installing now! I was waiting for this app. A nice feature could be the possibility of rename app in GEL

 

[mitchst2]

Superb start been waiting for a dedicated gel module.

How far can this be taken? Is functionality from custom launchers like Holo launcher possible? Such as gestures, animations, changing icons etc.

I do hope things like this aren't beyond the realms of possibility.

Looking forward to future developments.

hotseat apps (icons above the navigation bar)

not to be a grammar nazi, but what you mean here is the dock, right?

 

[gridironbear]

Would there be a way to disable wallpaper scrolling?

 

[dialmformostyn]

Looking forward to seeing this progress! I like GNL, but there are a few things keeping me on Nova launcher - swiping up on homescreen icons, category tabs in the app drawer (or at least folders), and the ability to remove labels and apply icon packs. Everything else I could take or leave.

Regardless of whether these features make it to your app, thanks for the effort and keep up the good work.

Is possible add support hotwork for all languages?

Yes, it is working! But thanks for reminding me! I need to show the voice search once you are doing one. I'll fix it in the next version *making a note*

I stand corrected. Just didn't realise it was working. My volume was down low.

The search bar overlies over the other icons?! :-/
Edit: after enabling gnow it works, but i don't want gnow

 

[letmedanz]

Awesomeness!!!
Do you think it is possible to add just one more feature - swipe down to pull notification bar??
That would probably be all that one would need from GEL
Thanks for your work!

 

[ga67]

Any way to get this working on a Droid Maxx running Kitkat without GEL?

I like using the droid command center widget but when I loaded GEL it wouldn't let me add it to the homescreen. I got a message saying the widget doesn't work with 3rd party launchers.

FYI, the columns and rows feature is reversed...adding columns actually adds rows, and vise versa. Other than that, great module!
