Although Google is constantly working to improve its standard Android launcher, the shell is still far from the functionality and flexibility of third-party products. It doesn’t even come close to such popular products as Go Launcher or Nova Launcher, but some recent developments hint that not everything is so bad. So, the new modification Xposed GEL Settings [ROOT] is gradually acquiring new functionality and unusual solutions – the user gets the opportunity to assign his icons to programs through special themes, the so-called “smart” folders have appeared, and there are other less significant changes.
Everything is clear with the first option, but we will try to explain what kind of animal such “smart” folders are. The secret of this function lies in the fact that the user can now launch the first application contained in it without opening the folder itself, using a standard gesture for this – by swiping the folder with a finger. Or, if desired, you can configure your own algorithm in the settings – swipe will open the folder, and tap – launch the first application. For starters, we think this is already a significant breakthrough for the standard Google Start.
Also in Xposed GEL Settings [ROOT] the ability to overlay “widget” on top of each other has been introduced, although this function does not always work correctly, but, as they say, a start has been made. Moreover, most of the changes take effect without a mandatory restart of the mobile device. Soon, the programmers of the Alexander Schulz studio are going to add to their product such functions as setting the text color, changing the size of any widget, they plan to release a package of new icons to radically change the appearance of the standard launcher, and many other cool ideas are in the developer’s far-reaching plans.
The Xposed GEL Settings [ROOT] product is distributed under a free model, there is no advertising, as a class, but the most innovative functions become available to the user only for real money. Naturally, all the manipulations carried out using this launcher are available only on mobile Android devices with superuser rights, on which the Xposed Framework module is also installed – for obvious reasons, it is impossible to download it from Google Play, you will have to look for this software environment on third-party resources . Before installing a new shell, each user should decide for himself whether the appearance and a few new “chips” are so important to them, which, at the same time, do not always work correctly, or it is quite possible to get by with standard features.
