# Discover Killer

Discover Killer is an Xposed module that allows you to replace the Google Discover page of your home screen with whatever you want. Tired of garbage clickbait articles and ads? This module can replace the page with your favourite app, RSS feed or other supported 'Overlays'

## Examples

(Replacing the page with Entertainment Space, an RSS feed and launching the BBC News app)

## Configuration:

[![Configuration page](https://i.imgur.com/50ZZmD9l.png "Configuration page")](https://i.imgur.com/50ZZmD9.png)

Discover Killer has a number of options to configure the 'overlay' (the panel to the left of your home screen), including:

**Replace it with another overlay**

- Supported overlays include Entertainment Space; which shows TV shows, music and games, a custom RSS feed, and HomeFeeder. See the [Wiki page](https://github.com/KieronQuinn/DiscoverKiller/wiki/Available-Overlays "Wiki page") for more info 

OR

**Launching an app when fully open (any app is supported)**

- Whether to launch the app fresh from each swipe, or to resume the app

- Pick from a list of backgrounds (based on the app's splash screen and icon) to show on the overlay when opened

- Pick a colour from your wallpaper to use for Material You

## Compatibility:

The module should work on any launcher that has the Discover page. It hooks the Google app rather than the launcher, which allows this. I've tested it on Lawnchair, Nova Launcher and Action Launcher successfully.

This module has been tested and is working with LSposed, but should also work with EdXposed. Make sure you enable hooking for the Google App when enabling the module (it should be pre-selected)
