Maybe next features?

Hey men! I´m using your app and i should to say is great!! thanks

Could you add the possibility to manage your apps in your in the app box, maybe to set in the first page social apps in the second settings, games ...?
[Android Apps and Games] yahyoh:

I tried Semaphore and Devil.. But actually I'm using Midnight.. It's the best for performance and stability
[Android Apps and Games] Lesicnik1:
Grabbed some pics of a thing that's bothering me.

The first screen shot is how the appdrawer should be (and is most of the time)

The next on is how it is sometimes.

Also, would there be a way to use the whole screen for the app drawer?

Right now as you can see, a good 1cm isn't used, so sometimes getting into the apex settings is awkward, since the app drawer icon is in the top right, while the menu one is more to the left.

I saw a few messages suggesting disabling the download and widget tabs, but I can't find where in settings to do that (I'm embarrassed to say). Thanks

I seem to be having an issue with Apex Launcher as a system app. AT&T Samsung SGH-i777, CM9 - works fine when not installed as a system app but when installed as a system app it FC's on boot. I've tried clearing data, setting permissions manually, fixing permissions with RM, and installing both via ADB and Root Explorer.

Anyone have a suggestion to get this FC to stop?
[Android Apps and Games] yahyoh:
same problem on sgs1 wait for 1.0.5 or back to previous version :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Rovian:
I had the same issue, then fixed by removing some widgets.. such as the Hotmail/Gmail/Bookmarks widgets, these were the most that made APEX lags for me.. after removing them it became snappy again.
[Android Apps and Games] Link_of_Hyrule:
I had the lag but then I fixed it by removing all the other launchers and just having Apex as the only launcher.

Anyways I also have the FC when I start my phone but after the one FC everything is normal. Everything is great just need icon resizing!!!

Is there a way to get rid of Google / Mic icon from the top left corner?

Also that drawer icon from the top right corner?

All their features are already called from some other points in the launcher.

I'm skinning my desktop and those white icons ruin the thing :)

What about this bug?, I like table transition but its just complete on landscape mode where it kinda fades in and fades out as you go from one homescreen to another, meanwhile on portrait just dont happen at all.

(thanks Milamber33 for clarified it)

Hope you can fix it :)
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Sense, your post makes none...

I think you meant "incomplete" and "disappear"
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Actually it DOES make sense, and he means the words he wrote. He's pointing out the Tablet-style transition is complete (NOT incomplete) in landscape mode, but is incomplete in portrait mode. The difference is that the page you're leaving fades out as it goes, and the page you're going to fades in. (The second correction you made is just as valid as what he wrote, one page appears as the other disappears. :p)

His English isn't perfect, but if you read it carefully it's obvious what he's saying.

Best launcher ever but since v1.0.3 I get force close when I reboot my phone (first time I unlock - doesn't bother me that). The main problem it's that with v1.0.3 and v1.0.4 every time I open camera and put my phone in lanscape and then I press back, I get a force close from apex (if my phone it's used in portret mode when I press back apex behave normaly, the same if I enable autorotate from apex settings). No force close from v1.0.3beta1. I've tested apex with a samsung Galaxy S i9000, rom AOKP milestone 4, built 28 and Slim ICS 3.0, same behaviour on all of them with any kernel (also I have a patch applied: LagFreeV2.0.1).

Also some problems with any version of apex when using transparency option and "none" drawer anymation or "scale in/out" drawer animation (drawer background becomes black and apps icons blurry while sliding); I found out that entering secound time in drawer without opening any apps in between fix this for the moment (drawer behaves normaly).

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for this woanderful app.
[Android Apps and Games] yahyoh:
same here still no update :mad::mad:
[Android Apps and Games] plegimus:
Good launcher

It is the first good launcher and very same to the original.:p
[Android Apps and Games] G-DannY:
I found the clue to make Apex stop lag when using fly in/out transition opening app drawer on CM9 kernel and others that suffers on this:

With NSTools, on CPU tab for ONDEMAND scheduler, lower "Up Threshold" value from 95% (stock CM9) to something like 75% or 70%.

Then Apex rocks smoothly as butter. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
But isn't that more laggy?

I have almost no problems on my Xperia Play running Sony's ICS beta either. It will force close around once every 2 days and is slow for a couple of minutes after boot, but that's it. I love this launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] fafinaf:
Setting a wlpaper through apex options never works. it allows me to select it, size it but after all that it doesn't change.. it even says wallpaper changed or whatever it says after setting it. anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix because I hate always cropping when using es file explorer :(
[Android Apps and Games] mrvirginia:
lots of lag sometimes when opening the drawer. i have it set to Tablet transition effect and my drawer animation is set to fly in/out. gonna change the drawer animation and see what happens.

edit: yeah fixed. so seems to be a bug with fly in/out like above posted.

Hi Everyone, try this:

Use the Gallery to go to your wallpaper and then select it / resize it from there,

for me, it set the wallpaper correctly. Just don't try it through the Apex launcher.

+1 rebooted several times and always FC but stable after that. Not a biggy loving the work you've done:)
[Android Apps and Games] NZgeek:
I've found a small bug but don't know if this the right place to report it.

The bug affects the dock, but only if you have multiple dock pages, and only if you've enabled screen rotation.

I'm using 2 dock pages. The first page has all of my main apps (phone, contacts, etc) and the second has other fairly-frequently used apps (market, maps, etc). When my phone is in portrait orientation, the dock shows the first page. If I rotate the phone sideways (either direction), the dock shows the second page.

It doesn't matter what dock page is currently visible when I rotate the phone, I always have the launcher select the page it wants. The ideal behaviour would be for the dock page to stay on whatever you have selected, or to have some way to choose which dock page gets shown in which orientation.
[Android Apps and Games] ezio84:
It works fine.

Thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mrvirginia:
i did, thanks. that's why i said "like above posted" ;)

i just wanted to confirm the issue basically.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Just found a small bug.

If you have infinite scrolling on on the homescreen and you try to pick up and move an icon, folder, or widget between the first and last screens (either way), it won't let you. Looks like infinite scrolling isn't active while moving items.

I'm running 1.0.4, but I suspect it's been in previous versions, too.

Using version 1.0.4 with WeUI rom and I have to wait somewhere around one minute for all the apps to load in the app drawer at startup. I also get similar lag when on ICSSGS but not quite so bad. This is the absolutely only issue with this rom so far as I can notice, any idea if this is the fault of the launcher.

It sometimes only loads the first page then lags some time after initial boot up as well.

FCs are gone with 1.0.5. Only thing is the lag opening the drawer but don't know if it's 4.0.4 specific or apex launcher.

The wallpaper zoom issue is not fixed yet In 1.0.5, is it that hard to fix?

The wallpaper zooming issue can be solved by setting wallpaper scrolling to "enabled" instead of auto in apex settings.

same problem for me (I use swipe up and no fancy animations). The first time I open the drawer it'll be completely blank (not even the tabs and button on top appear). I prefer the lack of FCs and am too lazy to revert though, so I'll stick with 1.05. Hopefully 1.06 comes out and fixes this soon!

After the latest update, Apex gets closed by the system and reloads about 90% of the time after going back to homescreen.

Make sure the permissions are set correctly. Honestly the easiest way I found to do it is rename it ApexLauncher.apk and put it in the system/app folder and check the permissions on the other apps to make sure they are the same. I do this using root explorer or a similar app.

If you are freshly installing a new rom you can actually unzip the rom delete the other launcher rename ApexLauncher.apk and put it in the system/app folder then rezip it and flash it. A warning though when you rezip it make sure to maintain the file and folder structure and that it's not a folder inside of a zip or it will fail.

If i install this into system from the apk download will market update it or not know about it? prior i had downloaded from market then moved to system but then after a format of system for a new rom I couldn't install apex again as the market thought it was still installed when it wasn't...
[Android Apps and Games] lilsammy11:
Is apex for GB a pipe dream that will never happen? :(
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Yes, you can update System apps from the market/play store. The original .apk stays as it was and the update ends up in /data/app, but because the original is still in /system/app, it still counts as a system app after updating, and retains all the appropriate permissions.

Apex is built based on the default ICS launcher, therefore it relies on the ICS APIs. So yes.
[Android Apps and Games] miui-lover:
great launcher,but i think Trebuchet is faster and stable.

I must choose, Nova Launcher or Trebuchet? Maybe stock ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
Yup. Closest you'll, probably get for a while will be phoenix launcher.

Anyone else having a problem with both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 both losing default launcher status? Trying to figure if it's a Rom or launcher issue.
[Android Apps and Games] mrRobinson:
ok but if i install it to system/app manually it gets linked to market correctly for updates? I only ask cause i had installed from market before then copied to system. then with a new rom system was wiped but market still thought i had apex installed even though it was gone.

Hey guys. I am coming form Go Launcher and i wanted to try APex launcher. I really like it but i really miss some features from go launcher x and i am not sure if they are not really present in apex launcher or i am unable to find those?

1. The swipe gesture action.. in go launcher like you can swipe on the doc icons to perform / open a different application i am missing that one here in Apex?

2. How does the wallpaper work in apex? if i try to make a walpaper in verticle mode apex kind of zooms in for some reason. however if i make just the wallpaper with detfault settings then it works fine. Looks liek it doesnt support the verticle mode?

3. you cannot resize the icon size in apex?

thats it for now. If i have somthing else i will add later.

My apps in the drawer menu still disappears from time to time, they also disappear EVERY TIME after rebooting.. the moment I press the drawer button, the first stack of apps is shown np, but then after scrolling left, the apps would be all gone.. the only way to get them back is to exit/enter the apps drawer again, which is annoying.. :mad:

[Android Apps and Games] 00McD00:
Really loving Apex so far, definitely pulls ahead of Nova IMO. One option I would love to see implemented is dock icon notifications. I.e. if you have the messaging or phone or email app on the dock with a missed call or unread sms/email there would be a little red indicator with a number above it. It's obviously not a deal breaker, but something which I think would be appreciated down the road. You should also consider offering a paid version, you'd get my money ;)
