Latest update
It's Google's annual 'We redesign the app drawer' time (starting with 5.11.*) and I'm finally almost done fixing it. Currently though the tab bar is not visible but you can use the app drawer gesture to swipe through tabs. I can't work on XGELS for the next 14 days so I figured I'll release it anyways.
Added:
* support for Google Search 5.11.27/34/35 and 5.12.30/33/34 and 5.13.26/28
Fixed:
* crash when new apps get installed
Xposed GEL Settings [ROOT] APK Description
!!!! Requires Root & Xposed Framework!!!!
!!!! Only for Google Now Launcher and Trebuchet !!!!
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 :)
