Action Launcher 3 supports swipe for Google Now integration (root users only)



Looks like Action Launcher 3 now supports swiping right to access the Google Now page. I've gone ahead and gone through the process of enabling it on my OP3 and so far it's been flawless. Very happy to finally have this feature back.

To enable this feature you have to install Action Launcher 3 as a system app. To do this, you must do the following:

1) Download the Action Launcher APK from here: APK Mirror Link

2) Push the APK to your device by using ADB commands to type the following adb push action3.apk /sdcard/

3) Move the APK to system partition by typing the following...

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /sdcard/action3.apk /system/priv-app
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/action3.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
exit


4) Reboot (ADB reboot)

5) Once you reboot, Action Launcher 3 will be installed as a system app. Let the app update to 3.8.1 from the playstore.

6) Once Action Launcher is updated enable Google Now integration by going to Action Launcher Settings > Desktop> Google Now Integration (Alpha)

It should now be enabled. Swiping right on the home screen slides the Google Now page into frame, just like with the stock Google launcher.
