I'm running Apex 1.2.3 on an SGSIII. For the app drawer I'm using vertical continuous. When in portrait mode the app name is completely cut off. In landscape, it cuts off about 1/2 the name. Anyone else confirm this, or any help for it?

I had a glitch where my dock was vertical, but after a random reboot sometime later it fixed itself. I want that again, maybe an option to have it bottom horizontal or Right/left vertical?

absolutely. I love Apex pro, using it on my GNote and Galaxy S2 (both cm9) working fantastic.

Now on my new Galaxy S3 it works horrible extremly lagging in rearranging icons in folders on home screen, rewdrawing.

At the moment im using Nova launcher for my GS3 where isnt lag and both launchers are very similar in my opinion but would like to stick with apex if the bug get solved.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
If you've got the pro version then any of the ADW/Go themes will work fine - I was using ICS Glass Plates with apex and I had no problems at all... but now I've had to revert back to gingerbread on account of having a **** phone lol so unfortunately I can't use apex and am stuck back on ADW EX :(
[Android Apps and Games] spyrale:
agreed, doesn't make sense adding more features instead of fixing annoying bugs first. nova doesn't have the black screen bug on sgs 3, how can be difficult to sort this out? I feel a little ignored as a costumer.

[Android Apps and Games] aegeuss:
Not only for the redraw bug but also I have been waiting for a fix for the direct dial bug too for about three weeks which has been stated by some other users as well but no progress. So although I am a pro user of apex I have decided to give nova launcher a chance and voila it works perfect. Thanks apex for giving me this opportunity. I think I will stick with it for a while until the bugs are ironed.

Running Apex Pro 1.2.3 on an Atrix 4G (qHD resolution) with drawer scrolling set to vertical continuous, the labels for all app icons in the last row are missing.

EDIT: This only occurs if there are enough apps in the group to require scrolling. In a group with exactly 20 apps, the bottom row's labels are visible.

I've run into a bug when "show unread Gmail count" is enabled (I'm running the latest Pro version). When a new e-mail is received while that option is checked, the new message will not open and the Gmail app eventually FCs. If I disable the show unread count feature, new e-mails open just fine and there are no FCs. This is on ICS with Gmail app version 4.0.5. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] ximmox:
This is known to the developer and should be fixed in next version as they told me. ;)

Redraw problems

Not sure if it's related, but I set the wallpaper to single screen (forgot how it's called in english menu, mine is in spanish) and haven't had a redraw since.

Also, checked to keep launcher in memory.

Hope this helps. :fingers-crossed:

[Android Apps and Games] netsyd:
Not sure what you would call it (which makes it hard to search the thread) - but I end up having to restart Apex (Pro) multiple times a day because widgets stop updating information. I've tried keeping in memory, not in memory, uninstall/reinstall, different widgets that do the same task - but ends up happening no matter.

Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
A few people have reported this, but noone ever seems to be willing to post logcats or do some debugging. Last I heard the dev still couldn't reproduce it. So if you're willing to help resolve this, here's a list of things to do:

1. POST A LOGCAT. Also post which ROM you're using and its version, which kernel you're using and its version, and any other themes, mods, etc. which you have applied.

2. Backup your Apex settings, and post this backup.

3. Since I don't think the backup includes this, post which widgets you're using - NOT just the ones that aren't responsive, but ALL of them - and exactly where you've got them and how they're configured.

4. Clear EVERYTHING off ALL of your homescreens, and test with ONE widget at a time to try and identify if there's one in particular which is triggering it. A couple of people are reporting issues with certain widgets that everyone else is using with no issues.

Hi. I'm using apex launcher and it's great but i have a small problem.

I'm adding a direct dial in the home screen from shortcuts and when i'm pressing it to dial it says "The activity cannot be launched". In the stock launcher works fine. I have a Galaxy S3.

Any ideas to solve this?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Diting Technology:
Did a great job in UI~~ love it :o
[Android Apps and Games] Danielfr:
het

I have the same problem but also with ADW launcher . Before my S3 ,I was using a S2 with the same problem.

But it works if you don't enable to choose a specific app (like here 'phone') to be launched by default when pressing the speed dial icon. The drawback is that you will have ,everytime you press the speed dial icon, a message asking you to ' complete action using' and it becomes a speed dial with a second press.

I know its not a huge issue at this point in time but Apex crashes on start up on Jellybean 4.1 on the Galaxy nexus

Could you add long-press actions for all the three buttons of the one x? At the moment you can only map actions for the home key.

Just as a heads up, Nova Launcher seems to be working. I usually use Apex, but decided to see if Nova would work in light of Apex FCing on 4.1

yup. this give us some of the apex customization but i am so used to Apex, that i actually feel a little dirty using Nova...lol

waiting patiently for my JB optimized apex launcher update :)

i suggest anyone getting this JB forced closure problem to report it to the fine folks at androidDoes.

make sure to put in the report that you are running Jelly Bean.

just sent mine into them. hope this gets them the info they need to fix it. however they are probably at GoogleIO
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Please read the "Planned Features" section before making new feature requests.

We'll consider the notifications feature in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll add it in a future version.

We also find this feature from ADW useful, so we have implemented it in Apex as well. Just a quick tip: long press on the "all apps" button in the middle of the dock for faster access to the lock/unlock desktop option.

The option to hide apps in the drawer should be coming in a future update.

Dock customization options are planned.

Yes, you may hide the persistent search bar from the settings.

We have tested Apex on a HDPI screen (with CM9), and it works just as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] myxcon:
Regarding usage @ 240dpi:

1. auto grid doesn't work: remains 4x4

2. in app drawer with grid 7x7, app icons overlap dock icons

3. in app drawer , the dock should be visible or not? it's visible atm and go back to 2 for possible bug

4. cannot edit number of icons in dock. In 240dpi you need more than 5 icons. I think this is not implemented yet as I cannot find a setting for this.

5. after a few unlocks of the screen the launcher has to redraw the apps in app drawer (pretty long too, like 2-3 seconds)

[Android Apps and Games] Juvenall:
Just gave it a shot as a former ADW/Go Launcher user (D1, DX) and current Nova user. While I really like where this young launcher is going, there were a few issues that kept me from making it my default on the spot.

Device: Galaxy Nexus

ROM: Gummy 0.5.6

Issues

1) Infinite scroll lag - On my phone, it would take 2+ seconds to switch from the first/last screen to the next. While this isn't a feature I would use anyhow, it just really stood out to me since it was on by default.

2) Search Box - Part of the reason I want a custom launcher is to fix Google's silly idea that I want a search box on every damn home screen. I tried to hunt down a setting to let me swap it, hide it, or move it, but there didn't seem to be anything obvious.

3) Margins - Nova won me over with this. I really like having the ability to set (or in my case, remove) the margins on the home screens. This lets my widgets (Android Pro Widgets and Beautiful Widgets, both with custom themes) stretch across the entire space.

4) Icon Editing - I use an ADW theme for the icons I put in my dock (everything else stays stock, though) so having the ability to edit icons and ideally, use an existing ADW theme would be huge for me.

The rest of the app seems great and I'm really geeked to see where it's headed. With a few issues worked out, this could be the launcher to beat. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
1.Agreed. Horrible on my device as well

2.Untick persistent search bar

3. Do you mean grid layout? If so turn off the default auto layout thing, then set your own margins/columns/rows

4. Agreed kind of. I just want to be able to add more than 5 items to dock when I change rows/columns, and the order of them.
[Android Apps and Games] aleve1983:
Yes but if you want you can try reduce margin between icon in app drawer and we have big truble

Created a CWM flashable zip to easily install Apex Launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] Mindfield21:
In order to install it as a system app, you have to place it into the /system/app directory and change its permissions to rw-r--r-- and then change owner to root at both fields of that menu.

Something like a bug:

When you place a scrollable widget on a homescreen, it is not always responsive when you try to scroll. For example if you use the youtube widget and try to change video suggestions by sliding down your finger, sometimes it responces to your slide, sometimes it doesn't responce at all.

Just swapped over from Nova. Because of gestures, removable dock and better app menu support. Which are my ideal features.

[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
apex is also smooter then nova and i love it that the market icon can be put back in the drawer.

but your right about the custom icons. it's very importan for me, because i like to theme my desktop so that everything fits together,

and i don't like the icons of ics. the icons doesn't fit together. in gingerbread it did more look like 1.

really hate the sms icon it's f...... ugly
[Android Apps and Games] laur3n.newm4n:

[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
scrollable widgets are not up to the launcher you need to be on 2 things

1) ICS which it looks like you are

2) you need to be using a widget that supports the proper ICS way of scrolling and not the hack around way that was made by devs in Gingerbread
