Google search doesn't work when swiping up from home - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

As mentioned in the title.. Not sure if I did anything wrong.
MT2-L05 4.4.2 unrooted. Google search was installed from sideloaded playstore.

What happens when you swipe up from the nav bar? Does the ring even show up?

Nothing. No ring, like the function never existed at all..

Hmm, the only way I can think of to get around this is by rooting and installing Xposed and GravityBox. It's even customizable!

Sorry to threadjack but does gravitybox still work if you reboot your phone? And does quick unlock work?

yes, just change that ro.settings.hwtheme=0 instead of =2.. (check the root thread for the real test, I'm working from my memory which isn't reliable)
Also I used root expoloer which will mount it as rw for you so the settings will stick.
My question is what setting of gravity box lets you add those programs to the swipe up from home? I must be blind or don't know what it's called in the Gravity box settings.
Thanks!

Yes, you'll have to do what Bobvark said. That line is in build.prop. I don't know what quick unlock is?

It's in navigation bar tweaks > navigation ring targets.
