I don't know much about xposed or android app development in general, but could it be possible to maybe redirect any attempt to open the google app, rather than replacing a part of the app itself, or something like that?
Personally I would prefer not to have the google app enabled on my phone at all, so it would be nice to be able to use this to replace it entirely.

Hi there,
I am trying to install Discover Killer apk in another user but not able to install it properly. I tried every possible way, firstly downloaded in main user and then enable through lsposed for another user. Secondly, just enabled through lsposed in main user and reboot, but nothing works

The Google apps keeps stopping since I've installed the module, I did follow the installation instructions, setting a different app to open does work, but opening snapshot does not work. Couldn't get a crash log via scoop

I noticed that this specific app only works with Google Services and with the Google app installed while having the google app chosen in xposed module. After I used Smartspacer, its widget menu works just fine by choosing the launcher (in my case Trebuchet) in the Xposed module. Could this be implemented in this app so it would run without Google services?

Tested with Android 8.1, Nova Launcher and Google app v11.16.13.21.arm64. Still launches Discover feed.

Hello, I am noob here, could DiscoverKiller work with LSPatched, since it hooks only to google app? Thanks :)

I have installed lsposed and given permission of root and lsposed then also app is not working. I tried force stoping google app then also it is not working.

CrDroid 8.2 (Android 12) on a OP7 Pro.

With DiscoverKiller enabled, the Pixel Launcher Google search bar doesn't function properly.

Tapping anywhere on the search bar opens up the voice assistant instead. With it disabled, the search bar works fine. Then the search, voice assistant, and Lens buttons work as they should.

With snapshot leaving soon though, I wonder what that will mean for this module. Funny cause I finally just installed a custom ROM again after years of running stock. Last time was my Nexus 4 I think.

I have facing this issue in Discover Killer app, whenever I am trying to open, it takes me to lockscreen and gets difficult them to unlock it and it continues to stay same. I have never faced this issue earlier in Android 13.

Android version ~ Android 13

Device ~ Realme 2 Pro

RO ~ Arrow OS

When I try to open the app, it say tge following: "Discover Killer requires root to work, make sure your device is rooted and you have granted root." and when i try to retry with the button below the message, nothing happens.
Thank you, if you help!

it works mostly as intended but for me at least it also broke the recents menu. im not being shown any apps in recents menu. if you straight up open recents then there are no apps, but if you first launch whichever app youve set to open with it then it only shows white rectangles as apps in recents menu, no logos, no names.

It complaints Xposed module not enabled like #17.

Discover killer 3.0

Hello,
Thank you for your work on this amazing app. However, I can't use it on my phone. Google Discover works, but, when I activate the module in Lsposed, I can't swipe right anymore. I tried with different launchers, including those stated as "tested" in the readme.
I joined some logs. The last line ("XposedHooks(4848): Failed to connect to service, stopping self") is repeated about every 1/10 second after the first one (as seen in the screenshot).
Do you think there is anything to do to make it work?
Thank you in advance!

Hello KieronQuinn,

I would like to express my gratitude for your application, Discover Killer, which I find very useful. I appreciate the work and effort you put into developing this application.

I would like to suggest an idea for a new feature that I believe could significantly improve the user experience. It would be wonderful if the application had the ability to completely terminate the Google Discover process, leaving no possibility of accidentally activating it with a swipe on the home screen. This would allow users like me to enjoy a cleaner and more organized interface without unwanted activations.

I am confident that many users would appreciate such an option, as it would provide more control over the workspace on their devices. I would be delighted to see such an update in future versions of the application.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I wish you success in further development!

Sincerely,
Raphael Green

There are some apps that need to use activity to open (OEM apps like OnePlus Shelf),Is there a way to add activity as a selection?

When using Feed or Custom App, status bar icons remain white instead of dark on light wallpapers. Although the Feed elements are correctly darkened.

I enabled the module, granted root, but after entering the app i see a message "You must enable the (...) force stop the google app and retry". After stopping the google app the message still appears

I tested the app on my Nokia 6.1 Plus (android one device) running on stock ROM android 10 and I noticed only the launch an app feature that works.

The snapshot feature is not working, when I swipe left in home screen, nothing is shown, it behaves as if the "show google app" was disabled.
